(Photo Courtesy of the News and Observer) Opening Of Fairmont Veneers Announced By L L. W. Anderson, president of Standard Plywoods Inc. of Max- ton, has announced the opening f Fairmont Veneers, Inc., in the town of Fairmont in August J. [W. (Bill) Thomas of Laurinburg who has been long associated with the plywoods industry in Scotland county, will be presi dent and manager of the new corporation.

The building will include approximately 10,000 square feet. All equipment has been received except for a few odd parts for the dryer and the installation of a boiler is the only major job to hinder opera tion. Mr .Anderson, who will be secretary-treasurer of Fairmont Veneers, Inc., believes that the plant will be in full operation by the last of August, cutting rotary veneers for distribution to plywood manufacturers. He stresses the fact that the Fair mont plant will specialize in this type operation only. When new corporation first begins operation, approximately 25 to 35 people will be employ ed. Fairmont Veneers, Inc., has been incorporated since May 23, 1946, and construction on the building was commenced short ly after that date.

Maxton Library Drive Is Failure So Far Second Term Of Summer School Opens At Presbyterian Junior College Over 200 Enroll First Day The second term of summer school opened at Presbyterian Junior college on Monday, July 22, with an enrollment of 200. The summer school had a total enrollment of 231 students in the first term which closed on July 20. A new class in flying will begin and a number of students have enrolled in the prepara tory and junior college cours es. It is necessary, for safety purpose, that flight students take a ground school course first before they begin actual air work. The flying program at PJC was inagurated in 1939 and there has never been a se rious accident at the school. * This fine record has been main- taified because of the primary emphasis put on ground school. Aircraft and engine mechan- cs courses are offered under he directorship of Thomas M. Ledford, B. S. in aircraft maintenance, former instruc- or at Parks air college. The ’light instruction will be car- led on at junior college level ind college credit will be giv- m. Dr. R. L. Wharton, former ^'resident of La Progressiva ollege in Cardenas, Cuba, is continuing his four hour a day Spanish classes during the sec ond semester. In these classes, Dr. Wharton is giving his pu- oils an equivalent of 2 years Spanish in only two summer school sessions. Presbyterian Junior college is endeavoring to aid those who wish to enter school but are having trouble with the hous ing situation. About 25 apart ments for married students are still available. After two weeks canvass in the drive to procure funds for the Gilbert Patterson Memor ial Library, results have been negligible and present indica tions are that the library must be closed unless the people of Maxton contribute heavily dur ing the final week of the cam paign. Mrs. R. M. Williams, chair man of the library committee of the Maxton Woman’s club, has announced that the sum total of present contributions is only a fraction of tlie $1000 goal. This money is very nec essary to the continued opera tion of the library. The library report for June 1945 to June 1946 showed that a grand total of 2044 people read books during the past li brary year. If each of these persons could donate only 50c to the cause it would be possi ble to reach the goal and save the library. This large number of readers proves that the li brary is a valuable necessity. If it continues solvent the peo ple of Maxton must see that the campaign goal is reached.

LICENSE REVOCATIONS The latest bulletin issued by the North Carolina Highwav Safety Division named four- persons from surrounding com munities that have had their licenses revoked. Sgt. Henrv Ammons of Fort Bragg lost his license and also: Willard M. Lockey of Laurin burg, James Warford Mavnor of Pembroke and Lt. J. L. Zim- iult of Maxton. W. Anderson St. Pauls Man Telegraphs Food To Greece George Andrews, St. Pauls, is not letting home folks and friends go hungry during Eu rope’s food crisis, Greek War Relief association leaders re port, for today he telegraphed 280 lbs. of food “via GWRA” to eight Greek families in My- tilene, Greece. The food which cost George $102, is packed by the Greek War Relief association into convenient 35 lb. food parcels, each selling for $12.75. The one price includes the cost of the food, its packing, shipping, and local delivery in Greece. By sending food through the Greek War Relief association, Andrews saved not only con siderable money, but he saved precious time, association lead ers explain, for the parcels were delivered not more than 24 hours after he placed his order with GWRA’s office in New York. Two unique parcel features permit this delivery speed. First, the association mass purchases and ships the 35 lb. food parcels to Greece, stock piling them in central areas to permit easy delivery by truck. The second is the cabling daily of orders which cuts ordinary package delivery time from four to six weeks. Homemade Rugs Can Brighten Rural Home Braided and hooked rugs, made at home from materials that have already seen service, can be used to brighten rural homes. They add comfort, at tractiveness, and color to a room, and may be made at small cost. Ruby Scholz, Extension eco nomist in food conservation and marketing at State college, says that one of the most im portant factors in making these rugs is color arrangement. She suggests that plans be made for a scheme which is pleasing to the eye and harmo nious to the room, which the rug is to serve. The largest areas—such as backgrounds and borders—should harmonize with the general tones of the room in which the rug is to be used. Consideration should also be given to such other furnishings as draperies, upholstery and pictures. As a general rule, at least two-thirds of the rags for the rug should be neutral or rath er dark in color, says Miss Scholz. Tans, browns, grays, and dull blues ordinarily make the most suitable backgrounds. For example, one-fourth of the cloth for the background may be dyed a medium brown, one-fourth light tan, and one- half golden brown. Tn a rug of the various tones of brown, the addition of tou- -hos of orange, crimson, or bright green gives life or ac cent to the color scheme.
