HARNETT COUNTY NEWS—LHliagton, N. c. THURSDAY, MARCH 20. 1047 J»J/! b:: Capital News Letter BY THOMPSON GREENWOOD •NOT AS MUCH—Had any watered nUlk lately? Well, no, not as much as you were getting back In Febru ary when this column first' brought up the matter of mllU and water. The situation is getting better. That little item written here—only about 75 words—has been echoed and crescendoed in all the papers, on the radio, and in conferences and re-sohitlons. The thought was voiced here that the nasty predicament was being settled in February, but alas, that was only the beginning. And the worst Is yet to come. ' * * • N TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER— The average February snowfall was about 10 Inches over a large portion of the central and northern sections of the state. In the Charlotte area, 80 per cent of the killing frosts over the past 67 year.') has come between March 6 and April 15. • Over a 50-year period the last kill ing frost has hit Haywood and coun- 'ties west of there about April 20. Also dbout that time for the area through there from He'nderson northeastward to Stokes . . . For Ashe, Watauga, and BuncomTie, April 30; Moore. Harnett, Chatham. Wake, April 5; Columbus, Cartoret, and the other extreme eastern coun ties should have no more killing frosts until next fall;" Yancey and Mitchell can expect severe frosts un til May 10 . . . Bladen northward* to Gates over an area 50 miles wide after March will bo free of frosts whlcli injure crops . . . says the 50- year average . . . But of course Jack Frost comes when he is least ex pected. Anyway . . . Spring begins leisure ly to roam the land . . . "Lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; and the time of the singing of birds is come.” « * « NOTES — The new “daylight" flourescent lights are being installed in the Revenue and Agriculture Buildings here . . . The Revenue Building .\nnex will be ready for oc cupancy in October . . . Inct'eased funds for teachers may not give them the 30 per cent raise, but they will not be increased . . . School leaders are now fearful there will bo no Federal school lunch program for next year—or even after March, ex cept in special cases where local funds will be provided . . . .300 to 400 eight-cylinder Buicks have boon ordered for State highway patrolmen . . . But they must await legislative expansion of Highway Pa trol . . . Had such a large delegation heio last week tor the antl-closed shop discussions that members of the Raleigh Fire Department were called out—and in—to see that tho Capitol didn't catch fire ... A piece of foolishness prompted on sudden thought, by Fire Marshall Sherwood Brock well . . . First time in 1-0 years i.his has occurred . . . That 1 cautlfiil pile of rock is the nearest to fireproof of any building in the State. * • « DRY PROJECT—The talk here is ARTHRITIS And NERVE DISORDERS Dr,. Dallas W.

This decision will be left to the Gov ernor and his budgetary helpers . . . The commeuceinent on the actual construction of an those hospitals, ,and the medical school—If this be comes, a part of the project—is as indefinite as the tides of business ... a dollar’s value for each dollar spent . . .
