Town N' Country Club Has Meeting The Town N' County Garden Club met at the Rafters for the February meeting. Mrs. Georgia Exum was hostess for the evening. Dinner was enjoyed by the members and guest speaker. Before the business session was held, L. C. Cooper gave a slide presentation on perennials, which included dahlias, gladi olus, begonia, lilies and cannas. Cooper said the hardy bulbs can be divided to produce more flowers each year. They should be planted three to four inches deep and the same distance apart in the spring. He advised members to mulch to keep out grass and the keep the soil moist. To control pests, Cooper sug gested the use of appropriate sprays and not chemicals which will seep into the soil and damage bulbs. There are a wide variety of colors and sizes of each flower to enhance the home gardens, he said. Gladiolus are very hardy bulbs which came from South Africa and they grow best in sunny places. Dahlias originated in Mexico and thrive in warm, sun ny gardens. Begonias are called the "queen of the garden" and came from England. They love shade and cool weather. Some of the flowers are as large as dinner plates or miniature. Lilies and cannas are the hardiest and bloom from spring to frost. During the business session, the president read the state mot to. Minutes were read and approved. A letter from the state presi dent of N.C. Federation of Garden Clubs was read concern ing the state convention this year.

Norlina Board (Continued from page 1) especialiy at night," he said, emphasizing that night officer James Ciiampion appeared to be doing all he could to protect the town. Officer Champion reiterated Robinson's concerns, noting that since Jan. 1, the town had record ed 19 breakins with damages to buildings and stolen or damaged items estimated at $10,000 to $12,000. "We've solved four of the 19 cases," he reported. "We're up about 80 percent from January of last year in the number of breakins," Champion added. "From August to December we had eight break-ins." On behalf of the board, Mayor Bill Perry sympathized with Robinson's concerns, which were voiced also by Clyde Champion, and explained the difficulty of finding certified officers in addi tion to the cost of maintaining a larger police force. Later in the meeting, Commis sioner Dwight Pearce suggested the councilmen schedule a meeting to study budget priorities, including police pro tection, in preparation for the next fiscal year. Officer Champion reported on progress in contacting Norlina vehicle owners who have yet to purchase town tags. He estimated there remained about 52 people who had not purchased the tags and indicated he would continue making contacts. Town Clerk Mae Gums said the price of tags, which is increasing at the rate of one dollar per day, would reach the maximum of $15 on March 10. Citations will be issued after that date, she said, and violators will be assessed court costs in addition to the cost of the tags.

Mustian from Exxon Company, U.S.A. an nouncing the gift of $1,000 to the Norlina Volunteer Fire Depart ment in appreciation and recognition of Mustian's con tributions to the fire company. Mrs. Gums noted this was the se cond donation the fire depart ment had received from Exxon on Mustian's behalf. Mrs. Gums said she had learned in conversation with the state highway department that equipment and operators would be made available to work on the shoulders and ditches in Norlina as soon as weather permits and a list of jobs is submitted. Perdue Pipe (Continued from page 1) come here Thursday for an inspection. Harris told board members that he was concerned that no in spector was present continually at the site until Neal was hired, "after 8,000 feet of the project had been completed." Mrs. Clayton waid that state approval was given the engineer ing firm supervising the job and that it was not felt necessary that a full-time inspector should be hired to oversee the project.
