Si?* SSarrrtt Vrrord Published Every Friday By The Record Printing Company BIGNALL JONES, Editor ? DUKE JONES, Business Manager Member North Carolina Press Association ENTERED AS SECOND CLASS MATTER AT THE POST OFFICE IN WARREN TON, NORTH CAROLINA, UNDER THE LAWS OF CONGRESS "Second Class Postage Paid At Warrenton, N. C." SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year, $3.00; Six Months, $1.50 The Gap In 1-85 Congressman Horace Kornegay, urg ing that the missing link of Interstate Highway 85 between Henderson and Durham be expedited, says that it should be considered as one of the mosi. needed links of interstate highway in our state and its construction should be expedited as much as possible." Commenting on the statement, The Durham Morning Herald says, "The gap in 1-85 not only is one of the most needed links in the interstate highway system in North Carolina; it is the most needed link." Thousands of persons from North eastern North Carolina, from Elizabeth City to Durham, as well as scores of truck drivers and fleet owners, will agree with that statement. One driving from Henderson to Dur ham is both annoyed and impressed with the large number of. trucks one meets and follows on this stretch of road. Textiles from Burlington, Greensboro and other Piedmont cities are trucked over this road as is tobac co from Greensboro and Durham. The highway winds around hills and up and down hill, and one getting be hind one of these trucks or a slow driv er is held back, sometimes mile after mile, waiting an opportunity to pass. When a stretch of road opens up, in the majority of cases oncoming traffic . blocks any passing effort. Usually traf fic is heavy on this road, and while highway counters may relate the num ber of vehicles using the road, they ?he "Wall" Goes To Sea The Christian Science Monitor j Edmund Burke said he did not know "the method of drawing up an indictment against a whole people." But Soviet commisar Wal ter Ulbricht has indicted, convicted and com mitted the 17,000,000 people of East Germany to a 42,000-square mile prison. And the offense of the East Germans Is simply that they oppose the Communist rule which has reduced their once attractive and productive land to one of drabness and food shortages. In addition to the Berlin wall and the no man's land along the West German border. It now is reported that the "peoples" govern ment of this Marxist compound is sealing off its Baltic Coast with a three-mile security zone and a ban on motor boats, sailboats or rubber rafts that might be used for escape. What has been a Bastille must now be made a Devil's Island. This order illustrates not only the moral vidousness of a totalitarian order but also its political bankruptcy and a self-consuming eco nomic poverty. For if a large part of the energies and resources of a minority regime most be devoted to keeping burp-gun guards over the more trained and more productive majority, there is obviously less left with which to develop a "workers' paradise." The very weakness of the Communist posi tion in East Germany poses some serious questions for the West. Pressure on West ' Berlin is evidently rising somewhat Talk ; of a Soviet-East German treaty may take on an urgency tinged with desperation, i ' Yet if Moscow persists in raising the sub Met, it should be remembered that no legal basis exists even for the East Berlin wall. ;? At moat, if the Communists felt they must ? chose the Berlin escape route, they should strung their barbed wire between East and East Germany. Whereas the Pres Western troops in West Berlin is in with postwar agreements, the wall is of the status of East Berlin. Voice Of Experience The International head of a television network who was trwuhle with his pingrasn department a his executives for a lecture: ,** he said, "you guys have got to get ball. That's all there is to it If we bottlenecks around here, I want you I of than, and get rid of them fan . Now, who has any suggestions?" he rear of the conference room a piped up, "Sir," be said, Tve taO you, the necks are give no idea of the density of traffic caused by passing hazards. Of course, this bothers northbound and southbound traffic which must use this road, but the link is more than just a link in an interstate system link ing Virginia and South Carolina. It is also the link over which motorists using Route 158 from Elizabeth City to Durham must travel to reach Duke University and the University of North Carolina. During football games at either institution the road truly be comes a mess. But even in summer the link is bad. Because this is so, the question of completing the link in the highway be comes something of interest to more than the people of Durham and the truckers. It is of concern to motorists in Warren County, and in every north eastern North Carolina county. We would like to see newspapers and oth ers in this tier of counties launch a campaign for the early completion of the link. After stating that the link is the most needed link in the interstate sys tem, The Herald continues: With the filling in of this gap North Caro- j lina would have a truly interstate ? highway? running from north to south and connecting i with other fine dual-lane highways to all the ! populous areas of the state. Yet this stretch of highway has been incx-I plicably delayed. Only a few weeks ago iti had no status at all; no plans existed for com pleting it. Now it at least has official status: work on it won't begin for a long time yet. If present plans are followed actual work, not including right-of-way acquisition, will not be gin until 1967 and will be completed in 1971. Since the federal interstate highway program expires in 1972, the Highway Commission, then, is delaying this road as long as it can. The need for the construction of this part of the highway existed before the decision of the federal government to locate a large psychiatric hospital at Camp Butner, but the hospital will add to the need. During con struction of the hospital and afterward an ad ditional heavy load of traffic on the present highway may be expected. An already inade quate highway will become grossly inadequate. It is strange that though 1-85 can be com pleted with the federal government paying 90 per cent of the cost there has been continued delay. With bargains of this sort available, one would expect the state to bestir itself to the utmost to g?t on with construcion. Looking Backward Into The Record August 2, 1957 The County Commissioners on Monday adopted a budget calling for a tax rate of $1.65, up 10c from the 1956-57 rate.

St .ite Collide What about mulches? are some of the advantages? Disadvantages? Let's see what we can learn about mulches, objectively. Nature mulches the roots of Nature plants with faUen leaves. Th s means that no cultivation means tnai no practiced where plan'ts gr?w naturally. The forest floor is a good example. Moisture is conserved and plant foods are manufactured due to the id composition of organic matter. Soil is conserved by the pre vention of erosion. j Under these mulches, wheth er natural or man-made many, things happen. Chemical change is taking place. Bac , i tcria by the billions play a part, as do the fungi. Mow^ ture is necessary for all Uf processes. Good soil is tce?^| ing with living things and we who live on the soil are de pcndent upon its good P formance. ! 1 guess that we could af?c then that the hse of mulches lis one method of duplicating, natural processes by providing a happy soil environment ml the flower, vegetable and fruit j gardens. Now let s see wh> thiste true by reviewing some of the advantages of mulch ing. ^, Probably the greatest ad vantage of a mulch is thecon servation of moisture Evapo ration is greatly reduced b protecting the soil from the db reet rays of the sun and from air movement. Raindrops are quickly absorbed and the sod is protected from compaction EroPsion. the greatest enemy* Xlchcs a're especially .helpf?) during prolonged periods of hot dry weather. Don't expect a mulch to con trol weeds completely. It wi heln especially with the nuals Where pre-emergence "pravs are used to control weeds, the mulch is more ef fective. \ The soil temperature is rc-i duced under a go?d mulch.; This is of material help be cause home beneficial soil, micro-organisms are not happy i under high soil temperature j conditions. Neither are ten-, der roots near the surface j The decomposition of most j mulches improve soil struc ture favors water absorption and aeration of the root zone Mulches in the apple orchard prevent bruising of dropped fruit and keep ripening straw berries clean by preventing the splashing of soil and sand. Mulches also prevent heaving of the soil during winter freezes. While the advantages of mulches far outweigh the dis advantages, a few of the latter might be mentioned: The fire Hazard?a match or cigarette carelessly dropped in pine needles, grain straw or leaves may destroy all you have tried to accomplish. Mice may be more troublesome under mul ches but can be controlled by ground sprays or baits. This is the one you want to watch for?nitrogen starvation. The more woody or fibrous the mulch the greater the need for nitrogen to decom pose it by favorable bacterial action. The bacteria are going to get their share of the nitro gen supply first and the leaves may turn yellow on the plants unless the supply for both the nitrifying bacteria and the plants. This is not difficult to adjust if you use good judg ment. Mulching materials: peat moss, sawdust, pine straw, grain straws, ground corn cobs, peanut hulls, shredded hard wood bark, softbook bark, com posted leaves and plastic film. An effort has been made to discuss some of the basic prin ciples involved in the use of mulches rather than recom mend which material to use. It it hoped that, whether you live in Manteo or Murphy, you can select the mulch best suit ed to provide a happy environ ment for your plants. Elberon News Mr. and Mrs. M. K.
