I A new development in the I city mail delivery was the an nouncement that some sections of town would be serviced by mounted carrier. Although no official state ment was made concerning this phase, it was believed that lack of hard surface streets and side walks in the area of Sarvis Court, the Bottom and New row η prompted officials to place these sections on mounted serv ice. Jaycee President Richard Gor ton said. "All residents of those areas who have purchased mail boxes from us will be refunded their money by returning the boxes to the Tabor City Funeral Home."

Poor Experiences Cause Delinquency BY ANN BROOKS MrGOITGAN Tabor City Faculty Member "I am part of all I have met." This line from a poem by Edgar A. Guest might easily apply to a child. Since he is "part of all he has met," a child is not born a delinquent but grows into a delinquent because he has not had the corrcct experiences. The home, school and church should furnish healthy experi ences that will enable boys and «iris to grow into normal adults who will be our leaders of to morrow. The first six years of a child's life are the most important. It is then that the foundations of character are laid in the home before the child enters it, and the moment he is born there be gins the process of acquiring the habits of behavior and attitude? of mind that will make up his personality. Some authorities on childhood tell us that by thi time a child is two years old his personality is already well established and can T>e changed only with great difficulties; that the fundamental outlook on life und attitudes toward life arc finally fixed by the time the child is six years old This is a thought for all those who havr responsibility for these plastic impressionable years. After a child enters school hi? experiences become more varied It is very important that th< home and the school work to gether for the success of th< I child. Loris Han Held On Sex Charges Edward Richardson, 21, of Loris, is being held at Sumter, S. C., by the FBI on charges ot white slavery according to Wil liam B. Tyson, Jr., U. S. Com missioner for the Florence area. Richardson was arrested Tues day by two special agents of the (FBI and lodged in the Florence •fail. He was transferred to Sumter County Jain on Thurs day afternoon by a U. S. Marsh al. The warrant states that Rich ardson did "transport in inter state commerce Vera Jane Gal loway for purposes of commer icial prostitution from Conway to Jacksonville, N. C." The warrant was drawn in ι Wilmington, N. C. Richardson entered a plea ol not guilty at the preliminary hearing. He contended that he was hired by another man tc drive the Conway girl to North Carolina and did not know the character of the passenger. First In Horry County Gravel Blast Well Now In Operation Another chapter in the his tory of farming progress wai written last week when worker completed the first gravel bias irrigation wclAin Horry County υη the farm of Eldred Prince. As significant fact in th« blasting of the new well was th< discovery that water is plentifu in Horry County. The operatior on the Prince farm, located a I bout three miles from Loris required that workers drill onlj 120 feet before attaining the de sired 300 gallons per minuti flow. "This means that practical!.' any farmer in Horry County rai have water for irrigation with out having to spend a tremend ous amount of money digging tc abnormal depths," said Mr. Per ry McNeill, local reprcsentativi for the Heater Well Company ol Raleigh. With last year's drought foc using the farmer's attention or irrigation, it was quite timelj a hen Mr. Prince noted that hat this well been in operation las: vear his tobacco crop would have yielded approximately $3, 000 more revenue. This is ar estimate based on the farm inj; of 12.6 acres of tobacco. Although many Horry farmer: have installed irrigation wells the one on the Prince farm ii the first to have employed th< «ravel blast method. "This method insures tin farmer of having a gravel pack ed well from top to bottom. Th< danger of cave-ins is eliminat ed," said Mr. McNeill. How expensive is it for ι ι armer to have one of thcs< wells? According to Mr. Mc Neill, the recently completec one was set up to guarantee 30( sjallons per minute for a cost ol 1 approximately $4200. "This particular well will tak< care of a three acres setup wit! ease," said Mr. McNeill. This is the equivalent of rait on six acres of land each day. One advantage given to farm its in the area through the drill· ing of ' .e Prince well is tha »he study of the structure of th< land has been completed. "Eliminating the risk of no , bringing In a well will make I I lee* ex penal ve for other fanner In the area to have their Irri cation well." Mr. McNeill re fleeted In pointing out the ad vantages other farmers will de rive from the operation on thi Prince farm. Actually, the process of se curing a well is simple. Hcate ι Well Company representative [McNeill stated that farmer [could spccify the gallons pe minute desired and be guarant < ed this with his well. With farmers bedding tobacc and the season rapidly ap proaching, it was advised tha all those who plan to have ι well for irrigation purpose should have the work begui within the nccxt 30 days. With farmers throughout the two Carolinas becoming more a wr..,-i,f the need for taking pre cautions to insure themselves o( a good leaf crop, the comple tion of the first gravel bias) irrigation well on the Prince farm has set the stage for more advancement.
