E. GARDNER Deft. »f H.rtkaltcnl Seieaee | N. C. Stale Ualvenltjr The use of salt to melt ice ! and snow on highways, walks and drives seems to foe more widely used now than ever before. This winter many cities and towns are making ' every effort to protect trees | and shrubs from injury caus- ! ed by the melting ice which ; carries the salt solution to the root system. Salt injury is causing wide-spread c on cern, according to Dr. (Philip L. Rusdcn of the Bartlett Tree Laboratories. In the New England states damage has been especially severe on roadside sugar maples. In that area, me chanical barriers are being employed to carry the salt water away from the trees, thus preventing seepage to the roots of the plants. In many areas of the coun try intensified use of salt is causing injury to nearby trees and shrubs. Both com mon salt (sodium chloride) and calcium chloride are both toxic to plants, in heavy con centrations, and may kill them in a very short time. In lesser salt concentration solu tions the roots die more slow ly. The leaves may exhibit a scorched appearance, usually along the margins, and the Two Accidents Are investigated The Edenton Police De partment investigated two accidents over the weekend involving four cars. Total damages of $340 were esti mated to the cars. On Saturday, Debra Dianne Johnson, 18, of Edenton, was driving a 1966 Ford and Jo seph Walker, Jr., 19, of Cres well, was driving a 1068 Chevrolet. Miss Johnson was traveling south on Broad street when Walker, attempt ing to back his car out of a larking space allegedly hit the Chevrolet in the right front side. Patrolman McCoy Parker, investigating officer, charged Walker with failure to movement could be made in safety. Damages of $l5O was estimated to the Ford and $25 to the Chevrolet. Also on Saturday, Walter Ellis Norman, 18, of Cres well, was driving a 1970 Dodge and (Rita Diane Flow ers, 18, of Portsmouth, Va., was driving a 1969 Ford. Norman was parked in Har dee’s parking lot when Miss Flowers allegedly backed her car into the Dodge. Inves tigation officer Patrolman G. W. Mizelle charged Miss Flowers with hit and run property damage and esti mated damages of slls to the 'Dodge and SSO to the Ford. “You’d think he invented safety.” SERVICES AVAILABLE Certified Watchmakers Clock Repairs Jewelry Repairs Diamond Mounting Baby Shoes Bronzed, Silvered Razor Service Silver Replating Refinisning Engraving Wedding Invitations G.

When these symptoms are noted, it is usually too late to do anything to save the trees. Perhaps the most notice able injury to street and roadside trees and shrubs oc curs near school and commer cial bus stops and along low lying areas of the highways. Shallow rooted trees such as dogwood and maples are harmed first. Homeowners often do ex tensive damage to trees, shrubs and grass along walks and drives by over-use of salt in any form. Signs of brown ed leaves and retarded growth, that are characteris tic of salt injury, are fre quently mistaken for some other type of injury, so don’t compound your problems. The use of coarse sand or ashes on sidewalks and drives is far safer than the use of salt and not much more trouble, if you make prepara tions ahead of the coming of rough weather. You might try mixing saw dust with enough water to form a wet mash. Broadcast this over the surface and let it freeze. When tracked in the house, it would be easier to vacuum than either sand or ashes. SIO.OO PRIZES 5 Each Day - MONDAY THRU SATURDAY - Drawing Each Day A 6 P. M.

We Give Double \ Top Value Stamps Monday and Tuesdays NsSiS2^ d i IN THE DARKNESS By MARY LIZZIE LANE In the lonely midnight hours You can hear the owls hooting. Then you’ll feel cold and shivery, When you hear the hunters shooting. Then you’ll begin to turn and wonder As the fox begins to bark. And then you’ll really know the difference From the daylight and the dark. The winter nights are long and blustery. And the midnight darkness is all around. Sometimes we may feel our weakness, Just brace up, there’s new hope to be found. When we know the day’s work is over, And then we’ll settle down to rest. We should be content and humble Because we know that we are blessed. The long and cold winter nights When everything will seem so still. That’s when I will read and write, Until my hungry soul is filled. In the thickness of the midnight hour, When you are dreaming of the past, You’ll awake and then you’ll know That it was a dream and could not last And then your eyes will open wide, You’ll review then .the dream you had. And you’ll remember the by-gone days, Then you’ll feel so awfully sad. In the morning we can hear the rooster crowing, And the sound will echo in our ears. • We all should be very grateful, We've been spared throughout the years. 17 - ceuTUfcv gN&LAWP, A P ■)?
