PAGE TWO L-SECTION ONE E OUR Sett ★ OU R STRENGTH S t By G. SAMUEL COX Gra*s*d Waterways • Frank White, Jr., recently seeded several natural depress ions in his field to grass for grassed waterways. The areas Will be left in grass throughout the year for surface water to ac cumulate and run across without Washing. After the grass is es tablished in the natural depress ions then the water can run down the slope without wash ing. Open ditches are used to drain water off of flat land where grassed waterways are used cn sloping land. The grass prevents the water from wash ing the soil. Ralph Hollowell and C. H. Eure are planning to establish some grassed water- 1 ways on their farm in a few Weeks. Group Cooperation J. A. Wiggins, Joseph Byrum, Beecher Ward and Mrs. Dorsey Boyce have just completed con structing a group ditch that will benefit the drainage of all of their farms. The group of land owners requested assistance from the Soil Conservation Service last fall in planning the drain age. We prepared a set of plans to cover the improvements in volved and the landowners start ed to work clearing the right-of- Town Council Adopts New Weed Ordinance Continued from Page 1, Section 1 men took no action until after a meeting with the Zoning Board. Town Administrator W. B. Gardner was authorized to ad vertise for two police cars and a truck for the Street Depart ment. Extending Moseley Street was considered and Mr. Gardner was instructed to investigate the problem of right of way and report at the next meeting. Again the situation of Dennis Basnight was discussed relative to damage caused by the high way curb at his service station. Again no action was taken due to the uncertainty of the station or the state’s right of way was constructed first. Mr. Gardner made a project progress report in which he stat ed that due to some major un expected problems, the new Mu nicipal Building will probably not be ready for occupancy until November 1. All other projects of the town have been complet ed, he said. The Councilmen adopted a new ordinance regarding cutting of weeds. The new ordinance re quires owners in possession of any lot to cut down within four ihches of the ground all weeds, grass or other noxious growth at least four times a year. The first cutting shall be not later 'than June 15, the second not la ter than July 15. the third not later than August 15 and the fourth not later than September 15 of every year. If these pro visions are not complied with, she town will do the cutting at a charge of $lO per hour with a minimum charge of $5.00 which will be collected as in .the manner for other city taxes.

The one ■ ditch will provide an outlet for i all the farms involved. One ; person could not drain their farm without affecting the other land owners. So they decided to pool their resources and construct one ditch that.wiß solve all of their drainage ?- problems. Preston Monds and Mrs. Georgia Toppin , are also-in the process of con structing a group ditch. Maybe’ you and your neighbor could solve your problem by constructing a group ditch. High Cost of Living or Cost of High Living Who’s to blame for the high cost of living, or the cost of high living? Everybody points the finger at someone else, but econ , omists at Virginia Polytechnic Institute can at least shed some light on the cost of food. For instance, cellophane bags con taining carrots cost three times ais much ; as the producer got for tAe carrots.' The label on a can oi‘ tomatoes costs more than the tomato grower got for the toma toes in the can, and the cost of laundering a shirt once is more thaira the farmer got for the cot ton in it. The matter of an appropria tion for the Shepard-Pruden Me morial Library was discussed. Due to-a proposed flew fire sta tion, tht old Municipal Building will probably be sold and it was the hope of library officials that at leasts $15,090 from the. sale woul d life Appropriated for the Tiew Kbdiry?- The general opin ion was, however, that money from the sale of the building should go toward building a new fire | station. However, the Fi nance Committee was instructed : to investigate the possibility of securing funds in behalf of the library. Due to present trash recep tacles in town being worn out, the idea was discussed to secure new and more attractive recep tacles. Mr,.. Gardner- was—in structed to •investigate the price. J. D. Elliott reported on the progress of a new fire station! and stated that Jack Pruden is now engaged in furnishing an 1 architect’s drawing of the pro-| posed building. The Councilmen also consider ed a more economical plan for the town’s insurance. Mr. Gard ner was appointed as agent of I record and instructed to submit! a report on the insurance prem-! iums and the protection provid-! ed. W. E. Bond, Chairman of the Chowan County Commissioners, presented a request for the town to provide space for the auto mobile license examiner and so cial security representative in the present town office on a! temporary basis. Mr. Gardner was instructed to investigate to see what, arrangements can be I made. The public have an insatiable curiousity to know everything except what is worth knowing. —Oscar Wilde. jrHECHOWAW HERALD, EDEWTOH. If ORTH CAROLINA.
