New Winkle Will Be Tried To Reduce Speed On Highways Cameras on Police Cars Wll Take Pictures Record Speed If you are a chronic traffic law vio lator you may show up in the movies. According to an announcement made last week by Motor Vehicles Commis sioner Edward Scheidt highway patrol cars in the future may be equipped with 35mm cameras. Through an arrangement with Mar ket Service, Tne., a nationwide safety organization which is an affiliate of the nation’s largest bus and truck in surer, two of the cameras will be loaned to the Highway Patrol for the next 90 days on an experimental ba sis. Should the experiment prove suc cessful the photographic equipment will be leased from Markel at S6O per month per unit. Scheidt described the move as another measure to modern ize and make more effective the use of up to the minute techniques in keeping the state’s accident toll as low as possible. The camera, which takes either still !or motion pictures, is operated by a button on the steering wheel. It i? bolted to the roof of the car and I shoots through the windshield. Within Jthe camera is a police checked speed ometer and a clock which is superim posed on each photograph. Film, on !100. foot rolls, is exposed at the rate of 16 frames per second. The scope of the camera is sufficiently wide to. »*■ ■■■ ' Rabies Clinics The annual vaccination of dogs against Rabies will begin in the county April 19th.

Scheidt predicted use of the cameras would have an “intense psychological” effect on violators as well as provid ing actual photographic evidence. Two of the cameras are being in stalled in patrol cars this week. Wards Club Party I Proves Successful Members of Ward’s Home Demon stration Club are well pleased with the results of the box supper, auction sale and tacky party, held last Friday night, in the community building. The boxes sold well, the highest one bring ing $21.00. A number of pies, cakes, aprons and other articles were sold at auction. The bidding was strong and sales were satisfactory. The grand climax was reached in awarding a cake to the best-looking woman. Several club women were nominated, hut the final race was between Mrs. Lloyd Briggs and Mrs. Curtis Chap pell. Total receipts from voting amounted to $369.45. The costumes were original and very comical, causing roars of ap plause and much laughter. Prizes awarded for the tackiest costumes were: For the lady, Mrs. Curtis | Chappell; for the man, Nurney Chap pel. String music was furnished by local talent. It was, indeed, an even ing of fun, pleasure and profit. Our thanks to Francis Hicks, the auctioneer; also to the ways and means committee who planned and promoted the whole afair, and to friends and neighbors for their gen erous support. Total receipts were $556.55. Show us the man who never makes a mistake and we will show a man who never makes anything. —H. L. Wayland. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N.

At this time of the year the jobs i that must be done in the garden are : so many that it is hard to know what ; to emphasize. < In the vegetable garden the time 1 is getting short for planting the cool * season crops. Unless these crops get well started before hot weather sets in the quality will be poor. The last < frost date is also just around the 1 corner and we should be ready to set i out tender plants as soon as it is i safe. 1 If you wish to get a head start on ! the season, hot caps may be used to protect the plants for about two or 1 three weeks before it is safe to plant 1 in the open. Starter solutions have given good results in getting the plant off to an early start. A good starter solution may be made by dissolving 1 one pound of a complete fertilizer ; such as an 8-8-8 or 6-8-6 in five gal j lons of water. Water each newly set plant with one half pint of this so lution. The results aije worth the ex tra effort.

Follow this with light appli cations of nitrogen during the sum mer. Large trees on the lawn must be given additional fertilizer or they will use that provided for the grass. Shrubs and trees should be fertiliz ed at this time also because most of the new growth is made from now till mid-summer. Spring flowering shrubs may be pruned as soon as they are through blooming. Only necessary pruning or thinning out is advisable. If ligustrums or other rank growing evergreens are to be pruned severely now is a good time to do it. because the new growth will come out im mediately. In the fruit garden, mulch straw berries with pine straw or short wheat straw. It will keep the berries off the ground and also prevent sand from splashing onto the berries in rainy weather. Dewberries, boysenberries, and rasp berries should be thinned to six or eight good canes per hill and tied up to stakes or wires. bone meal and salt should be fed. Question: How does tobacco blue mold spread? * Anstver: The fungus parasite that causes blue mold produces two types of spores or seed-like bodies. One type has a protective coating that al lows it to live over in the soil of the seedbeds where the disease has oc curred. It can start the disease the following year if the old bed is used. The other type spore or seed-like body is produced by the moldly growth visi ble on the underside of diseases leaves. Single spores cannot be seen with the naked eye, but when massed together I FOR SUE OR RENT—At!NOW! New single-story UNFURNISHED house; 2 bedrooms, toilet between, living- room and kitchenette.
