Phone 5716 Roxboro Road—Oxford, N.C. is Meeting Howe Spring on the Cozart land. Mrs. Lesiie Hummell of Durham, formerly of Oxford, has been at work for some time with the His torical Society in an effort to have a suitabie marker erected. The exact date of the erection has not been disclosed, as the work is to be done by the Highway Commission, but it will be on or shortiy after August 15, according to Mrs. Hum meii. Mrs. Hummed said that virtually all the Methodist Churches of Granville, Vance, Warren and Franklin Counties are "daughters" of the mother church, which stood near the old Indian Trading Path, a portion of which now is discerni ble in the Cozart Woods. She is preparing a history of the sevtral churches which will be distributed tions at the first service after the for reading before the congrega marker is erected. —BOARD— fCont'nueo From Page 1) ments to Civ Halt bunding. Water Problem The board was advised that ex cess water from the city's s' or.r sewer recently rose under the home of the Rev. O. S. Cant on Linden Avenue and that an investigation by the city manager disciosed that the existing carriers were inade quate to handie the heavy fiow of wa'er. The board was to!d that on the basis of a contract estimate, aiieviation of the troubie won id ncress'tate an outlay of $3,200. City Manager Parham proposed to install a new 42-inch pipeiine. using municipal labor. Existing lines pass directly under the Gant home, the board was told. The meeting was the first held since the group of members initiat ed a plan to circumvent a resolu tion adopted at the June meeting, providing that future installations of traffic signals be based upon findings and recommendations by a traffic expert. There was a considerable dis cussion of the recent change in the traffic pattern at the intersection of Hillsboro and Lewis Streets. At that point a stop-and-go light was installed "on a trial basis" and now traffic which earlier moved in a westerly direction on an uninter rupted basis, is halted in favor of i dead-end public alley which pri marily serves a private parking lot rt the side of a tobacco plant. Commissioner Daniel told the St tTCHES. CKYS'HL. SiLVEK Gee. Coffin, Jewete?

He recaiied that the traffic expert empioyed oy tite chy heid that to be the case with the traffic control signal at the intersection of Church and HiUsboro Streets — a signal which was removed with approval of all members of the board. No resolution approving or cen soring the change was offered dur ing the meeting, although Daniel told the board that he had received "many complaints," many of them originating with persons residing west of the intersection. Unless experience shows that traffic piles up blocking a drive way on the east side of the tobacco plant, the "trial basis" is expected to be continued for several weeks, perhaps longer. --+ Kiwanions Eat Fish Kiwanians, in their weekly meet ing Tuesday at Dr. R.

Kenneth R. Black, Jr., told oarticipants of a UNC Institute of Insurance seminar that there were three forces contributing to the "ail lines underwriting" trend in the insurance business, wherein life underwriters are beginning to un derwrite property - casualty, and property - casualty underwriters are returning the gesture by un derwriting life. The three forces: Independent, non-agency companies successfully selling both life and property casualty policies. The mass market steadily becom ing a larger proportion of tlte totai market. And "the increase in competition and resulting need for efficiency to keep the cost of distribution as low as possible." Dial 3463 When Ton Have News Thursday and Friday, Auy. 13-M !

Labor Concepts in Feed Stor Miik Handling and ing Bringing New Ef ficiency into Operation The dairyman of tomorrow wUi be using hfs head more and his hands ]ess. He wiH stop carrying hay, silage, Redding and makers to his cows; and milk and manure from them. And how can he do this? Guy Parson, dairy specialist at N. C. State College, tells how: Hay — Store tt on the ground and let the cows eat right out of storage. Ground level hay. storage sheds are gradually replacing bur densome and costiy overhead stor age setups. When you put the hay overhead you make yourseif lift and carry each ton two extra times Silage — Store it oh the ground and seif - feed. It is being done successfuiiy with trench and above ground bunker silos. With a tower silo, you may want to consider a mechanical unloader that empties into a self - feeding bunk or onto a mechanized belt that moves the silage t° the coWs. This saves you handling each ton of silage three times. Miiker^—Let the cows bring the milk to the miikers — and when they get there, !et them stand up on a piatform where you can work the easiest. Yes, use a miiking parior with elevated staiis. Miik — Let pipelines carry the milk. By the pipeline putting the miik into a buik miik tank, instead of a dA:en cans, it wiii save you handling each pound of miik as many as five times. Is it necessary to carry 40,000 pounds when a cow give 8.000 pounds per year? Grain — When possible have it over the miiking parior in a big bin. Gravity wiii bring it down to each feed mangel where a meter ing device wiii measure out the correct amount for each cow. This saves you handling each 10J-pound bag of grain at ieaet twice, Cow — To take the greatest ad vantage of these suggestions, your cows shouid be free to move. They shouid be housed ioose in a pole type loafing shed. This wiii save you the work in , unstanchioning and re - stanchioning your cows once or twice each day. Since re search shows that cows produce just as much miik in ioafing barns as in a stanchion barn and you can expect ies shock and udder in juries, dairymen should give care ful consideration to this method of housing in order to obtain your greatest efficiency. Bedding — Store it on the ground ievei, preferably in the rear ten feet of your loafing barn. You can't get bedding any closer to where you wii! be using it. Manure — In a poie - type ioaf ing shed you leave it where it fails, bedding it over each day unti! you are ready to move it with power machinery. Then once, or three times a year you< ciean out the bedded'area and take the manure directly to the fields. Thus, in stead of handling the manure once or twice a day it is* done once or twice a year. Also, in the mean ime, it is kept under cover where maximum vaiue is reserved. These suggestions do not amount 'o a push - button method of pro ducing miik, but they call for an ncreasing amount of mechani/.a on on our dairy farms. Red Legs En ertained Mr^ and Mrs. C.
