Nearly Half Sum On Conservation Raleigh, March 20.—A break t down of expenditures for develop ment by the Resettlement Ad : ministration of Land Utilization P Projects in the five states of this region, which includes North Caro- i lina, shows that n« . half, or! 4-7.6 per cent, was spent f r con- j nervation, such as tree planting, I check dams for erosion control and i fire lanes and fire towers for pro-i tection of forests from forest fires. Approximately 8 per cent was spent for wild life protection, and 41 per cent was spent for the con struction or improvement of re creational facilities. The figures were prepared by Grady L. Bain, regional chief of the project deve lopment section. j “In the long run a more sub i stantial return on the investment j will come from the conservation I part of the work, but more ini - j mediate benefits—both as regards I the enjoyment of citizens using TO CHANGE to Spring Clothes ^»Let our Dry Cleaning Turn Last Year's Suit Into A New One Cash and Carry All Plain Garments 49c Asheboro Dry Cleaning Co.

' “Wise operation of camp sites, bathing beaches, vacation cabins and other concessions will bring in a considerable cash income begin ning the first season after comple tion. This expectation is based up on studies made of incomes from concentrated recreational parxs similar to those being constructed by this agency. It is said that the total income for two TV A parks including rentals for .'15 vacation cabins and other concessions, was more than twelve thousand dollars for the first year.” Land use projects being con structed by the Resettlement Ad ministration in this state include the 60,000 acre Sandhills land pro ject at Hoffman, and the 30,000 acre Jones and Salters lake land project near Elizabethtown. Farr, t Maxkct a>— With baby chicks rapidly in creasing in size, poultrymen arc turning their attention to getting broilers ready for the spring market. ; In a radio talk on the Carolina Farm Features program, C. -1. Maupin, extension poultry special ist at State college, will describe the latest approved methods for handling and marketing broilers. This talk will be heard Friday, March 26. With a reduction in the number of chicks grown out this year ex pected because of higher feed prices, poultrymen should receive good prices for their broilers on the spring market. Most successful poultrymen keep their good pullets, but sell elf practicallj all cockerels and poor pullets. The Carolina Farm Features schedule in full for the week of March 22-27 follows: Monday.

Great Demand For Good Workstock College Station, Raleigh, March 20.—The heavy demand for work stock has brought onto the markets I a greater number of animals of I doubtful value. Dr. C. D. Grinnelis, veterinarian at the N. C. Agricul tural Experiment Station, stated here today. Some of the inferior animals may be fairly satisfactory for pulling farm machinery, he added, yet not desirable for breeding pur poses. That is, he explained, low grade horses and mules may be used for draft animals when necessary, bu: when breeding for more stock, only good quality horses, mares, and jacks should be used. Animals that have heriditary weaknesses and are not of goo ! conformation will pass these blemishes on to their offering, «;th the result that the young colls have the stamina and dt’. desired. When buying breeding stock, Dr. Grinnells said, examine the animals to see whether they have a good set of feet and legs and whether J the general body conformation is sound. Farmers who breed inferior stock will have inferior animals to work i with, if they keep the colts, and if j they wish to sell the offspring, tKay j may find the inferior ones do not measure up to the requirements new set up in a number of states. “Don’t buy breeding stock of such low quality that the offspring cannot be sold elsewhere,” Dv., Grinnells warned. Colored Farmer Realizes Profit Winton, March 20.-—Eugene Ricks, colored, wanted a farm of his own. He borrowed §4,444 through a government loan agency and bought land in Hertford county. It was just what he wanted, and he saiii at last his chance had come. But shortly after he moved h's family onto the place, he began to fail in health. At that time - his son was not interested in farming, and Eugene was afraid he would have to give up his home and farm. His family could raise food to eat, but he had no source of cash income, and payments had to be made on the loan. Then he found that he could raise poultry without overtaxing his strength, and with the help of his farm agent, W. C. Davenport, I of the State college extension ser vice, Ricks worked out a poultry raising program. The possibilities of , pinking a success with poultry appealed to [Ricks’ son, and the two went into business together. They built a brooder house, Davenport said, and bought 40S [Barred Rock chicks. Good care was given the chicks, ar,d 402 were raised. Only six died. At the age of ten weeks, 300 of the birds were sold in Norfolk l'or 22 cents a pound, or §198 in | all. After deducting $38, the pur chase price of the young chicks, and §55 for feed cost, Ricks figur ed a profit of §105. He met his payment, got his sen interested in farming, and is now planning to raise more chicks and to expand his farming operations I to include hog-raising and crop production, Davenport stated. -rahara A. Martin S^nritv Director Washington, D. C., March 20.-*-, Opening of a Social Security Board field office in the Flatiron build ing in Asheville, was announced today by G. R. Parker, regional director, Region IV, comprising North Carolina, District of Colum bia, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. ; The Asheville office was estab lished to bring administration of the Social Security Act close to employers and workers in Ashe ville and the surrounding part of the state, Mr. Parker said. Graham A. Martin, who was borr. in Mars Hill, North Carolina, and formerly resided ip Waynesviile, North Carolina, has been placed in charge of the Asheville office. Mr. Martin was graduated from Wake Forest College, in 1931, and subsequently engaged in news paper work. He was employed on the News and Observer of Char lotte, and the Journal-Sentinel of Winston-Salem. Later he was Washington correspondent for sev eral southern newspapers. He was appointed an aide to division and deputy administrators of the National Recovery Ad ministration in 1933. He served with that agency until 1936 when he was appointed to the service of the Social Security Board, where he has acted as assistant to the chairman of the board and to the director of the bureau of old-age benefits. “Although the Asheville office will be devoted primarily to ad ministrative problems incident to the old-age benefits program, it also will serve the people of Ashe ville and surrounding North Caro lina in connection with other as pects of the Social Security Act. Perhaps J should emphasize, how ever, that the tax provisions of the act are administered by the Bureau of Internal Revenue.” Draw your wisdom from old men, and your enthusiasm from young men. Gray’s Chapel High School News-Events And Comments Geneva Walker, Editor-in-chief Sports Editor, Jesse Julian Associate Editor, Blanche Cox Reporters: Ruth Cox, Clem Troy, Murphy Westmoreland, Marjorie King The news for this week has been | deveted to the program of safety.. Many points of valuable interests' have been submitted by the students. Some paper on “A Minute Saved At The Price of an Accident is no Bargain,” are as follows: Elizabeth Ann Wooten —Grade (> Never “hook” rides in cars, or risk your life in running before cars. The story which I am going to write tells about a boy who “hooked” a ride in an automobile and didn’t let the driver know it. Albert is in the hospital now with broken ribs, a broken arm, and bruises. Last Tuesday Albert was at the drug store. He saw Howard Brown, his mother and father, and the neighbors pulling from the curb in their automobile. Albert thought it was a good idea to steal a ride, since he was sup posed to be at home in five minutes. He thought it would be n crime to walk, so he climbed on the spare tire. All went well for oniy a short distance; then the car gave a jerk and threw Albert off, his head striking the pavement. The ambulance rushed him to the hospital. “Your child has had a narrow escape from death,” said the doctor to Albert’s parents. Albert was finally removed from the hospital, and he told his moth er that he pever intended to “hook“ rides any more in order to save time. Wesley Troy—Grade 7 It is not a bargain to try to save a few minutes and lose tha remainder of your life. Many times, men are crippled for life when they try to save time. Often, they cripple other people and cause them to suffer the rest of their lives. Accidents on the highways in the United States have killed more people than the seven wars in which the United States has en gaged. Much of this could have been prevented if the drivers had been more careful. Many acci dents happen on straight stretches of road, when the drivers often lose control of the car while trying to “make time.” Many accidents could be pre vented if the pedestrian would be careful in crossing the streets. He should remember that a car which is going fast cannot stop “at once.” Marjorie King—Grade 6 One of the strongest human in stincts is that of self-preservation. A cautious man or woman is sel dom injured, except in the unex pected presence of an unusual cir cumstance, whose consequences cannot be avoided. Until recent years, little thought was given to means of safety. In due time, it was realized that the safety of the people was of great importance; now, much has beer, done to increase it. It is not true that children are mostly the victims of accidents. Grown men and women are, just the same. We should increase our safety, as well as that of others. There are many rul^s which, if obeyed, would lessen accidents. Ruth Cox—Grade 11 The time has come when some people think “a minute saved is a bargain.” Many accidents are caused only by the fact that peo ple are in a “hurry”; in fact, practically all of them are caused by that fact. Small children will dart across the street in order to get to their destination quickly— and this is natural. In these cases, nine out of every ten meet with some accident. Many lives are snuffed out simply because men and women do not stop to value their lives. In an age like this, it seems as if people could realize ' that "a minute saved is NO bargain.” “Some Rules Of Safety” Maxine Routh—Grade 8 1. Be sure you know how to swim before entering deep water. 2. Always be careful with matches. 8. Stop, look and listen before crossing any road. 4. Never drive fast to “save a minute.” (This week's cut has been donat ed by the committee on public re lations of Eastern Railroads, New York). Chapel Program A three-act play was presented by the eighth grade Wednesday, entitled “Just Plain Dot.” The characters were as follows: Mrs. Wilson, Eunice Hall; Grandma Wilson, Marie Routh: Bessie Blake, Mrs. Wilson’s niece, Kathleen Kirkman; Polly Prime, Bessie’s friend, Joyce Pugh; Buster Black, the errand boy, Ray Johnson; Dan Dennis, a newsboy, Harold Jones; Meg, a poor girl, Rachel Loflin; Dot, a Fairy, Marjorie King. The Wilson Children—Alice, the oldest girl, Mary Lou Wood; Willie, the oldest boy, Thad Plum mer; Dech, the second boy, Lester Amick; Maud, the second girl. Nancy Pugh; Roy and Joy, the twins, Stuart Lineberry and Novella Johnson. Junior News The amateur program was a suc cessful occasion Saturday night, and with the proceeds from this and other entertainments, we are planning an enjoyable junior senior banquet. The program featured several stunts and acts from the “Carolina Buddies,” who won first prize; the Ramseur Colored Quartet, who won second prize; and a group of colot ed persons from Liberty. Local students were on the program, al so. Gray’s Chapel girls’ basketball team entered the Gold Medal Tournament, which was held at Liberty last week. The girls de feated Liberty by the score of 26-19. The score at the half period was 12-10 in favor of Liberty. Gray’s Chapel players were pre sented gold medals. A trophy was given them, to be placed in the school library. Mary Cox was given an extra medal for scoring the most points, while Geneva Walker was also presented an extra medal for the distinction of being the best guard. Half the unhappiness in tho world is due to the failure of plans which were never reasonable and often impossible. Paris Exposition In May Expenditures in connection with the Paris International Exposition, which is scheduled to be opened May 1, will probably reach $45, 000,000. At the present time the outlay is estimated at $40,000,000, of which $29,700,000 are provided by the government and the city, Paris. The balance oi $10,300« is to be met out of what m*y' | called working profits.
