Lake area would be sprayed with
DDT, probably Wednesday or Thurs
day.
State Board of Health workers will
come to the County to do the work,
purpose of which is to kill mosquito
larvae in the Chub Lake region and
thus keep down malaria. DDT is
effective against other insects also.
The same homes which were
sprayed last year will be sprayed
again, health officials said. Persons
whose homes were not sprayed last
year but want it done this year,
should get in touch with the State
Board of Health workers when they
are in the Chub Lake area.
Since it is not known exactly on
what days the men will come to do
the spraying, home owners should
not move their furniture out until
the men cfcnle, Dr. Garvin said.
The spraying will require two
days, and will be free.

Here are a few garden notes that might be of interest to the
thousands of people wno read this column, Logan Umsted has a
garden that will make you open your eyes. He has carrots ready to
eat, Irish potatoes large as eggs and his green peas are about gone.
He will sell twice as much out of his garden as Pat Robinson will
eat out of his.
Bill Walker Is again piddling around in a thing that he calls a
garden. What it will amount to remains to be seen. Last year he also
called It a graden but other people had a different name for it.
I have no report to make on the spot of earth that T. Miller
White tries to get his wife to work each year. I understand that T.
Miller Is again allergic to work and so unless someone comes to his
rescue there may be no garden at his residence this year.

do the latter because plants may

Week Endorsed
By President

j Truman declared in giving his en
. dorsement to the interfaith observ
j ance of National Family Week, May
j 5-12, throughout the United States
and Canada.
This was expressed in a letter to
Dr. T. T. Swearingen, director of
adult w-ork and family life of the
| International Council of Religious
j Education, and secretary of an in
] terfaith committee planing the
| observance.
| Asserting that the home must be
| maintained or our democracy will
i perish. President Truman expressed
j his belief that the finding of homes
lis one of the paramount problems
facing the returned veterans,
j "I have therefore appealed to the
churches and synagogues which ad
ministered so faithfully to service
men and women during hostilities to
continue their efforts now that the
fighting is over,” He said. "Repre
sentatives of Catholic, Protestant
and Jewish faiths agreed to cooper
ate in this laudable purpose and a
nationwide 'Share the Housing'
effort was launched in aid of our
veterans.
"I hope this campaign will be |
given added impetus during the ob-1
servance. by our Jewish brethren and j
Protestant and Catholic Christians j
of National Family Week. I can *
think of no more practical exempli- I
fication of our faith in that grand!

competition with other class B
schools in North Carolina.
The awards were for the girls' glee
club, which was given a rating of

received a rating of two.
Edriel Knight, pianist, received a

I Motorists may save themselves
i considerable time and trouble by
| making sure that the lights and
brakes on their automobiles meet
minimum standards as prescribed
by law. State Highway Patrolman
j John Hudgins said today.
i Mr. Hudgins urged all drivers and
I car owners to have their equipment
I checked. He pointed out that most
j automobiles now being operated art 1
j several years old, and the danger
j from faulty equipment increases
j with the age of the vehicle.
| If automobile owners will have
their equipment put in good con
dition, the Patrolman said, they may
save themselves a great deal of
trouble, and possibly avoid future
accidents.
Magistrate W. Wallace Woods of
Roxboro pointed out that if a per
son is found guilty of having faulty
lights or brakes, the least he can
get by with is a $lO fine plus costs,
or a total of sls. This is the mini
| mum fine as prescribed by law.
Tlie motor vehicle statutes of
North Carolina provide that every
motor vehicle when operated upon
a highway shall be equipped with
brakes adequate to control the move
ment of and to stop such vehicle,
and such brakes shall be maintained
in good working order. A vehicle
with four-wheel brakes shall be
equipped witii brakes capable of
stopping the car within 25 feet when
it is going 20 miles per hour, and
within 45 feet if the car has two
wheel brakes.
| The statutes further provided that
j every vehicle shall be equipped with
j two headlights strong enough so
j that the driver can clearly see a
j person on the road 200 feet ahead,
i These lights shall be turned on one
i half hour after sunset and one-half
; hour before sunrise, and at other
! times when the driver cannot see a
person on the road 200 feet ahead:
j Each ear, the statutes state, shall
also be equipped with at least one
rear light, to be red in colp£.
Mr. Hudgins said that there are
a number of local garages which are
able to put lights and brakes in good
condition, and he strongly advised
all motorists to make sure that the
equipment on their cars is in good
condition before they do any more
driving.
