That was the warning which T. F. Palmer, project supervisor for the Federal Land Bank of Colum bia, passed along the past week to T. S. Royster, attorney for a com mittee of former owners of Butner lands. Palmer pictured the range area as a virtual hidden arsenal and cit ed its potential dangers by relat ing that on the average, a dozen people have been killed on areas formerly used by military men be fore the lands are pronounced safe. Royster was told that the recent fire in the mountain area of But ner had disclosed presence of an unexpected number of shells and explosives of all descriptions. “They are found not only in the range area, but as much as three miles off range." Palmer told Royster. Palmer added that he stopped into u farm house adjacent to the camp lands recently and found on the mantle of the living room a shell containing sufficient powder to blow up the farm. It had been picked up in the Butner area, he was told. Demolition squads will be ).*iOught in to comb every foot of the land and remove and dispose of shells and other explosives and then ap praisers will begin their work. Pal mer explained. Appraisers will do their work about June and July and hy the .end of the year, every former owner will have had oppor tunity to purchase holdings, Pal mer told Royster.

I do not write right and I do not vote right; but that does not 'necessarily bar my think ing right — occasionally, at least. Within a decade or so Oxford School District will need additional school facilities. What is now the graded school on College Street will become North Oxford Graded School and the present high school cn Williamsboro Street will be needed for the South Oxford grad- ea school. Then the district will be face to face with the problem of finding a location, and the erection of a modern high school building. Why not anticipate this situation and select the location now? Would not the Hunt property on Main Street bo an ideal location? It is large enough for both building and aililetic grounds. Furthermore, a three-story school building of mod ern design would be of aesthetic appeal — a thing of- beauty in the heart of the town. Well, there are four men in Ox ford who are willing to contribute .$5000 each for just such a project, that is. buy this property now and deed it to the Oxford School Dis trict upon condition that it be held and used when needed for the Ox ford School District High School building. Why not launch a move ment or campaign for $100,000 in piiblic subscriptions for the pur chase. of this property to be held and used as aforesaid? It would not require but 40 subscriptions of $2.- 500 each to get the $100,000. Remember this property owned and held by the school district would not be subject to tax and Iho property would carry the up keep pending the time when need ed for additional high school facil ities. Furthermore, it is well to re- m(-mber that contributions for such a purpose are measurably deduct ible from your income taxes. Most of us would rather keep our money here in local public projects than to send it to Washington for wdiat purpose God only knows. Think it over. JOHN W. HESTER.

Adcock Hurt In Farm Accident Better quality distilleries are showing up in the woods of Gran ville County. County officers have reported sei zure of several copper outfits dur ing recent weeks. Deputies O. L. Harrison and W. T. Beasley seized a 30l)-gallon submarine type kettle in the low'er part of the county the past w’eek. Officers said the outfit was in operation and that wliiskey had just begun pouring through the 20- foot long condenser when the oper ators fled at the approcah of the raiding party. L. E. Adcock, well-known farmer of Tar River community, sustained a painful injury in a luckless acci dent the past week. Mr. Adcock, father of . J. C, Ad cock of Oxford, was using an axe to pull down a board on the side of a farm building, preparatory to nailing it, W'hen the helve came out of the axe.

During the business . meeting, Thomas A. Banks of Garner, a Ra leigh attorney, was elected presi dent. succeeding Dr, Noblin; P. B. Chamblee ot Zebulon, a Johnston County committeeman, was named vice president; and J, T. Gobbell df Chapel Hill, was reelected secreta ry-treasurer. Up to Committeemen Prof. Phillips declared that it is I largely a responsibility of county land district committeemen to “as- I sess the problem of the school,” and provide the guidance that the j Legislature needs In its biennial ses- ! sions to help work out sojnb Of tiie problems. “Most of us, 4rc so ab sorbed in other things that.we are I not congnizant of the ‘profit and ' loss’ operations in the big business I of education,” the fprriier Oxford school superintendent and local , banker declared. I In presenting the idea that ths school committeemen should be- ' come lobbyists for North Carolina children, he said the lobbyists for other interests know exactly what , they want when they show up . fci vV I mitteemen and board members “do ! more toward organizing and asses- , sirig the' school directorate in the next two years.” I Mr. Phillips said that pay, must be "basically increased" to .get bet ter teachers into the .profession. Boeh he and Dean D. B. Brian ot [wake Forest, pointed Cut the ’ flow of young men and women, many ot whom had planned to teach, into employment offering greater begin ning pay. He related many instan ces of inferior, filth-ridd4n school buildings in the state. He said the “eighth grade is a sieve through which thousands of North Carolina youth are falling out.” In empha sizing the need of better supervision he offered the school lunch pro gram as a contrast. He said su pervision is given there and that every school is proud of its lunch room. .J.
