Results of the contest that end ed October 31 has not been an nounced to date but will be made public shortly after the first of the year. Projects sent in for Tabor City in the new contest include the following: (1) Curbing of es many local streets as possible. (2) Completion of the commun ity playground project. (3) Further beautification of the local school grounds. (4) Continued encouragement of industry to locate -in Tabor city. (5) Improvement of the overall appearance of the business district and encouraging of local business establishments to construct more attractive fronts and increase neon lighting. No new community committee for the 1953 contest has been named yet but the old committee expects to call a meeting of citi zens in January to name the mem bership of the new committee. Horry Soil Conservation Corps Has .Good Year With the year's end still weeks sway, 1952 has already rung the bell as a banner year in soil con servation in Horry County, O. S. Xirkpatrick, Work Unit Conserva tionist, of the Soil Conservation Service, reports. As οi November JO, ? total of 181 new cooperate^, representing 18,420 acres, had joined the Soil Conservation District program during 1952, as compared with 172 farmers and 16,993 acres in 1951. By December 31, at the present rate, Kirkpatrick estimated that 191 farmers, representing 19,858 acres, will have started conserva tion farming in the district pro gram—an all-time high. In addi tion, the Soil Conservation Service has assisted 250 PMA participants in planning and applying perman ent-type soil conservation prac tices on their farms. One of the factors in the in creased number of district cooper ators has been the new system of progressive planning, set up in the Horry Soil Conservation Dis trict, with the approval of the board of supervisors, of which H. L. Davis is chairman. This new system enables a farm er to start the initial phase of a soil conservation district program immediately with one or two prac tices and go on from there to the advanced stage and finally the basic stage of farm planning in which a soil and water conserva tion program is developed for his entire farm. Another factor which is expect ed to have an increasing effect in speeding up conservation work on the land is the recent realign ment of SCS personnel. The form er district conservationists have been replaced by a smaller num ber of area conservationists with supervision over a larger territory, thus making it possible to have additional personnel for technical on-site assistance to farmers on the land. W. |G. Small Dies In Mulllins Worley Graves Small, 71, farm er of route 3, Nichols, died Tues day at 1:00 p. m. in the Mullins hospital after a two month's ill ness.

STREET Tabor City merchants this week gave the town some Christmas ap pearance by erecting a giant holly tree on Railroad street gaily be decked with an array of colored lights.

Tide Water Power Company in past seasons gave the town the electricity which the Christmas lights burn. Carolina Power and Light Company, the present own ers of the lighting contract here, do not make the electricity free to the town and that along with the fact that the lights now on hand for Christmas decorations are in a poor state of repair, prompted the decision to skip the lights this season.
