Road Commission Adopts New Rides For Highway Sips Land Owners Held Re sponsible For Signs on £ State Right of Way The State Highway Commission re cently served notice on sign posters, I and all other persons who own, put up or control roadside advertising signs on the highway right of way. In a resolution adopted at the Janu ary meeting of the Commission, any adjacent land-owner who allows or permits an advertising sign to be erected on the highway right of way is now just as responsible as the firm or person who erects the sign. The Commission stressed it plans to chase all signs, buildings, and oth er unauthorized intruders off its right of way. Under the new ruling, the owner of a roadside business can be prosecuted when an advertising sign is placed outside his place on highway property, even though he may claim he doesn’t own the sign. Formerly, only the advertising firm Or the sign board company which own ed and erected the sign was guilty. The Commission already has laws un der which owners of offending signs, gas pumps and the like can be prose cuted for trespassing on its highway right of way. Before the recent ruling making the land-owner jointly responsible was made, the penalty was limited to $lO. Now, that may run as high as the i judge thinks wise. Separate penal- J i ties may be imposed for each day the sign is allowed to stand after it is ’ ordered removed. i Also, the Commission said many a 1 Tar Heel has found himself in a hope less situation because he neglected to * buy or build on the kind of road he ' wants. 1 Many people have bought low cost homes in poorlv engineered housing developments. They are told that ar rangements have been made for keep- . ing up the streets. Only later, to the new home-owners learn that the 1 streets are nobody’s responsibility. ' When they come to the nearest high way office with requests that their j > streets or roads be added to the high- f way system, all too often their re- j i quests have to he denied. Why? Us- ( ually, because the streets are not l built to State Highway Commission t standards or because at least 60 feet < has not been set aside for street right Aften the Commission can’t c over the streets, even if they \ to. because the right of way i may be half the width the Commission requires. Lest other Tar Heels stumble into a similar predietament, the Commis- ( sion urged prospective home-owners to remember: 1 1.

Feb4,llpd 1 Food Sense—Not Nonsense Let’s Have No 11 o’clock Drag!- Breakfast habits of many Americans on-the-go are due for a change— a change back to better breakfasts. Too often, this first meal of the day could no longer qualify as one of the good old-fashioned “three squares a day.’’ People who skip breakfast or eat a skimpy one are apt to drag by 11 o’clock. These are the people who may say, “I’m not hungry early in the morning.” Perhaps they may not be, but are they alert at this time or does it take a good lunch to get them into action? Those who lack an early morning appetite might start the breakfast habit by 'eating small portions of a balanced breakfast, stepping up the quantities gradually. The cost of mid-morning hunger has been checked in an extensive study at the University of lowa School of Medicine. During late morn ing hours, college students who ate a good breakfast turned out more work, were quicker in their reactions —both mental and physical—and did not tire as easily as when they either ate no breakfast or had only unsweetened coffee. Scientists say that those who skip over this meal or who eat a slim one, frequently fail to get enough of the needed nutrients in luncheon and dinner. For example, fresh fruits which furnish vitamins for sparkle are not always included in the last two meals of the day. What is a good breakfast? Authorities say that breakfast should furnish from one-fourth to one-third of the daily food needs. Plenty of fatigue-chasing protein should be in the breakfast —at least one-fourth of the daily protein needs should be included if that let-down feeling is not to appear by mid-morning. A good breakfast can follow a basic pattern—fruit, a main dish such as eggs or a breakfast meat, enriched bread or toast, and milk. All of these foods except fruit are top sources of protein; they feed out a steady supply of energy. Enriched bread supplies not only profein but the essential B-vitamms, riboflavin, niacin and thiamine. Served as French toast, bread can be the basis of a high protein dish which com bines eggs, milk and bread. the road you get will be all you want. 2. Don’t buy or build in a subdi vision until you know for a fact that definite arrangements have been made for maintaining the roads and streets. 3. Don’t assume when you build that the Highway Commission will take over the upkeep of the road past your new property. The Commission has so many such requests that many must be declined or at least delayed. 4. If you locate on a dirt road main tained by the State, don’t assume the Highway Commission will pave it. Try to locate on a road that already is paved. 5. If you do locate in a subdevelop ment outside city limits, be sore the 1 streets are to State Highway Com- j mission standards and that at least 60 feet has been set aside for roadi and street right of way. Otherwise, I the streets probably never will be tak- j en over by the Highway Commission. j The Commission says the problem could be checked if counties and cities would establish really workable plan ning and development boards. , Hungry “Rill said I looked good enough to eat last night.” “And so you steered him to a high price restaurant, I suppore.” He was ever precise in promise keeping. —Shakespeare.

MISSOURI H Importance Os Milk Is Emphasized At Community Meeting The first of a series of joint com munity meetings to be held this month was conducted at Center Hill com munity on Thursday night. The ladies provided a covered dish supper which was thoroughly enjoyed by all pres ent. The program consisted of an il lustrated discussion of needs in the family food supply, particularly per taining to milk and milk products. Mrs. Imogene Cochrane, the home agent, explained and demonstrated why and how important milk is in the family diet, showing that milk is one! of our cheapest foods, C. W. Over man, county agent, discussed pastures and feedings of the family milk cow and how easy it is to take care of a milk cow if a family will only try. He pointed out that, at the present time, only 163 of the 798 farm fami lies in Chowan County report having a milk cow. “It is true that possibly most of the families use canned milk and also dried milk,” said Mr. Overman, “but when you have a family cow, and plenty of milk available, you, naturally, are go-' ing to use more, and will come nearer vising a sufficient amount for the fam- 1 ily diet.’ Culling Poultry Saves Yeopim Couple Money Feeding culls and loafers is an ex pensive practice, according to Mr. and Mrs. J.
