WW PATROL CAMERA WELCOME
Last week, the North Carolina Highway Patrol announced that
they are now using their latest traffic enforcement device, the A bell
Traffic Camera, in the Cherokee County area.
This new camera is mounted in the patrol car ind takes pictures
at the rate of 16 per second. It is triggered by a control on the
steering column. .1
In addition to taking a picture of the car guilty of a traffic viola
tion, the camera records, in the upper right hand corner of each
one, the date, time, and speed of the offending vehicle.
The cameras are not mounted in every patrol car of course, and
It will probably be some time before they are. However, the patrol
feels that the psychological effect .that of the motorist never know
ing when he is going to become the unwilling target of one of these
cameras, wHl be as beneficial as the actual results attained with the
camera.
Already six people have died in Cherokee County traffic acci
dents this year. We should welcome anything that may help reduce
this record-breaking toll.

The weather has been most un
cooperative this spring - as far as
working in the soil is concerned.
However, we have had one of the
best seasons for pollination and
fruit setting in the Piedmont and
Eastern Carolina. 1 hope our moun
tain friends will be equally as for
tunate.
Perhaps some timely reminders
will be in order: Keep a keen eye
open for insects ? spider mites,
lace bugs and bark scale on azal
ea; leaf scale on camellia; spired
mites on boxwood; soft brown
scale and aphids on gardenia; cot
tony cushion scale on pittosporum.
All of these insects can be controll
ed by careful and thorough spray
ing with malathion. .
1 have suggested that you can
purchase "all-pur"""""
Use according to instructions. The
fruit crops are the ones most like
ly to be neglected and yet are most
important for fresh use, canning
and preserving.

under hot caps. It is very impor
tant that ventilation be provideo
because the plants can be injured,
or killed, by too high temperature
under the caps. Make two small
slits with a razor blade near the
top of the cap.
If your African Violets are be
coming crowded, they may be di
vided. Sometimes it is possible to
get four or five divisions from one
plant.
I hope you have found time to
fertilize your lawn with a complete
fertilizer, such as an 8-8-8. It is
not not too late. Watch your lawns
and top dress with quickly avail
able nitrogen, such* as nitrate of
soda, as often as needed to keep
the grass green and growing. Mow
regularly and don't cut too short.
In the past ten davs I have vis
ited both Eastern and Western
North Carolina. I saw many home
gardens in the East with cabbage,
peas and lettuce up and growing.
In the West, the grass is green and
jonquils blooming but signs of win
ter are still in evidence. Remem
ber that approximately every 1,000
feet of rise in elevation accounts
for a delay of one week to ten
days in the seasons.
At least 177 species of birds
have been recorded on Hatteras
Island, at Cape Hatteras, N. C., ac
cording to the Sinclair Auto Touf
Service.

The Reveread V Holds Gofcins,
Pastor, St. Aadjnv'c Ev.
Lutheran Charch
Andre wi, North Carolina v
Matthew ?:74: Tbea Whegaa to
Invoke a cane oa kimaelf and to
?wear, "I do not know the man".
"I do not know the man", these
are the woifs of a man who, at
the moment he spoke them, was
ashamed of the best thing that had
ever come into his life.
The account of the denial of Je
sus Christ by Simon Peter is in
exhaustible in its continuing mean
ing. Probably as long as time
lasts attention will be given to the
record of these few minutes in the
life of St. PeCer. We can look at
this incident from different angles
and aspects.
But one aspect of this, I wish to
call your attention to, is in the
picture of a man ashamed of his
best. Simon Peter said of Jesus.
"I do not know the man". In a
sense it is true; Simon Peter did
not know Him fully, but yet He was
the best in his life. It was the only
thing that brought Simon Peter any
distinction and yet he was ashamv
ed of Jesus Christ.
There is a good number of strik
ing instances of the same nature
happening in this age of ours. Take
for instance the millions of people
that are living in the United States.
The descendants of the men and
women that came to the New
Continent in the Mayflower are
proud that their ancestors are the
ones that made this trip. But at
the same time in the last ten years
over a half of a million of people
landed in the United States under
the so-called Displaced Persons
projects; yet many of those people
were not understood, there was dis
respect for their national tradit
ions, which they did not have time
to forget.
This was the best thing the Unit
ed States has ever done, to open
the doors for thousands of perse
cuted, starving, but freedom lov
ing people. Yet there are people
here who are ashamed of this and
try to do everything that this may
happen never again.
Another thing we are ashamed oi
is the dreams and ideals of oui
youth. Very often we say, "Oh, 1
was young then". We are ashamed
of the small places we come from;
we are ashamed of the poor homes
of our parents. We are ashamed
forgetting that it is we that came
out of those places and the best in
>ur lives was born there.
In connection with religion we
find people that are ashamed oi
their best ? an active and burning
faith. Through the centuries the up
reach of faith has been man's best.
We find it in old words: "The Lord
Is My Shepherd", "My meat and
drink is to do the will of God".
A vital faith brings in a differ
ence in our lives that cannot be
compared with anything else ? "A
day in Thy courts is better than a
thousand". In the individual lift
th^ response of the mind and the
spirit to God is the finest thing in
life. Yet, some grow ashamed of it.
When you stand on the dock
watching the ships being loaded
for the trips all over the world you
will notice large piles of trunks and
boxes which have a printed label,
"Not wanted on the voyage". They
are to be put away, packed with
many things that are not needed
during the trip. ,
Many people have used the same
label on the start of the voyage of

age
Miss Rachael Stewart and her
mother arrived Tuesday night
from Frost Proof, Fla. to spend
the summer at their cabin at Ran
life. They have written upon relig
ion, "NOT WANTED ON THE
VOYAGE". Put it away! This is
a pleasure trip! I cannot carry a
burden of too many things. So,
what might lift our life above the
animal level is discarded. And
faith is needed, badly needed, for
the voyage of life. It can give and
has given to people power and di
rection. Just look at St. Peter!
The world today is largely and
oppresively impersonal. Religion i
helps to bring out our personality
and individuality. The Holy Scrip
ture tells us that we are not things,
but children of God. We know the
great words in the Book kof Job, "1
i know that my Redeemer Hveth".
He is My Redeemer; particularly
now, in the Holy Week we must Re
member that Jesus Christ died for
MY sins. He suffered for MY sake
This faith and belief is man's
best. It is needed on the voyage oi
life. This is no hour to be ashamed
of our faith in God. There is an old
gospel song, not used very much,
"JeSus, and can it be a mortal
man ashamed of Thee?" ? It
would be well to sing this song to
day. Ashamed of Jesus in the hour
when it is clear that there is no
foundation for human survival that
which is laid in Jesud Christ?
It is no day to be ashamed of our
salvation.

Heavily ladea with fresh, juier-ripe strawberrie?
Coble Ice Cream tastes exceptionally good because
it's made with heavy cream . . . real, rich cream that
creates the best flavor in ice cream. When Coble adds flresh,
juicy-ripe strawberries, you've got a strawberry dessert
which tastes as fresh as Spring. Coble flresh strawberry ice
cream is so good to look at ... all pink and cool .
but it's even better to eat. Do yourself
a favor (and us too) and try some soon.
