Thompson Will Graduate From Indiana Technical College With Degree In Engineering Thomas M. Thompson, son of Mrs. Anna Butler Thompson of Southport, is among the spring term graduates of Indiana Tech nical College in Port Wayne. He will receive the bachelor of science degree in civil engineering on May 14. Thompson came to Fort Wayne in the fall *of 1949, a transfer from Buchneil. Indiana Technical College awards the B. S. degree in 27 months in aeronautical, chemical. civil, electrical, mechanical, or radio engineering by omitting many of the cultural courses while retain ing the basic mathematics and engineering courses. Thompson graduated from 'Southport high school where he was a member of the dramatic club and the debating society. He worked on various construction jobs in Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia and North Carolina, and was for a time associated with ithe U. S. Coast and Geodetic [Survey as an observer and topo grapher. He served as an ensign in the Coast Guard fiom Septem ber, 1942, to October, 194f>. While attending Indiana Tech nical College, Thompson was em ployed by the school in the con struction of a hydraulics lab for the purpose of measuring flow of water through orfices and over weirs. The equipment consists of a constant-head tank, a flume, volumetric measuring tanks and sump tanks and approximates a “miniature darn." It enables the student to see the theory of hydraulics in motion. He also set up equipment to measure friction loss in pipes and fittings. He also designed and constructed a heat transfer unit to measure transfer of heat from one medium to an-1 other. This is a unique' device for ■ the engineering laboratories. ! Thompson has also been employed instructing surveying classes I and II at the college. Thompson. with Robert W. Noad of Philadelphia, and Ken nith Beasley of Huntington. W. Va.. open their own office in Lumberton the early part of June. Noad and Beasley will also re ceive B. S. degrees in Civil En gineering from Indiana Technical College in May. The film will be equipped to make municipal, high way construction and subdivision surveys and perform other engin eering services. A branch office will be set up in Southport. The Thompsons and their two daughters have been making their home in Fort Wayne while Thompson is attending college. Kead The Want Ads PMA Chairman Cites Bad Use S. L. Purvis Uses Parable To Show How Much Soil Fer tility Is Lost Each Year In Brunswick “Ever see a farmer fixing up his land for a long trip - a trip j from which the land will not re- j turn?” asks S. L. Purvis, Chair-j man of the Brunswick County j PMA Committee. "If* the land is to go by air the excesvs baggage must be kept down. There can be no sod or clods. The soil should be well j pulverized. Soil particles-must be prevented from grouping togeth- . er. It should be dry and fine so that when a good wind comes a- j long, the tiny particles can take | off with a minimum of difficulty, j “If the land Is to go the water j route ,it likewise should travel | light. Tt’s difficult - if not quite impossible - to transport any great amount of soil that is load ed down with sod or tree roots. “A finely pulverized soil- pra ctically free of organic matter and humus - and not hindered by field strips or windbreaks - has priority for air travel. It is first in line when the winds come sweeping across the country. “Likewise, pulverized soil with little or no vegetative cover, free of organic matter and with nat ural channels in the up-and-down slope furrows, is all set to leave with the next heavy rain.” In this indirect way Mr. Purvis emphasizes the importance of keeping land in condition to stay on the farm. “Heavy loss of top soil by dust stroms is some areas and by floods in others serve as a warning that constant protect ion through conservation practices is necessary to keep lard from taking- off.’’ “And,” he points out, “soils which start on these air water journeys travel on a one-way tic ket—they do not come back.” ROOFING!

ERTEL CARLYLE TO CONGRESS NOW SERVING HIS FIRST TERM WHAT OTHERS SAY! (Editorial from The News-Journal, Raeford, N. C., April 27, 1950) Congressman Carlyle: Our Good Neighbor North Carolina has long been noted in Washington for the high cal iber of its Senators and Representatives. This reputation for sending, sane, sound, and enlightened representatives to the National Capital is something of which the citizens of the State may be justly proud—and once having found a good man the voters have found it to their interests to keep him in office—allowing him to grow in experience and value to the nation, State and district. Congressman Ertel Carlyle of Lumberton, for many years known to Hoke County citizens while he was our Superior Court solicitor, is destin ed to continue the North Carolina tradition. Coming from a family deep rooted in Americanism, his industry and ability have already attracted attention in the Halls of Congress. He has shown a statesmanlike ap proach to the complex problems facing the post-war Congress and has re fused to put political expediency before principle. By his actions and his votes he has proved himself to be a responsible legislator—worthy of the trust which the citizens of the Seventh Congressional District have plac ed in him. These are troublesome days—at home and abroad—and it is reas suring to know that we have men in Congress of the type of Representa tive Carlyle. Re-Elect F. Ertel Carlyle (Political Adv. Placed and Paid For By Friends Of Carlyle For Congress In Columbus County.)
