Sergeant Robert C. Green, local Army Re cruiter said here today. Sgt. Green is in Wendell and Zebulon Wednesday of each week at the postoffice to talk with young men about their futures in the Army. Actually, according to the ser geant, to be accepted as a grad uate specialist, an applicant must pass certain qualifications and ap titude tests, and be a high school graduate, but high school seniors can take advantage of a special early option during the 60 days prior to their graduation. The Army has set up a plan whereby the senior through the local recruiter will be given an initial qualification examination, upon completion of the test which is administered locally the recruit er will discuss his academic back grounds and interests. Based on the seniors desires and abilities, the recruiter will help him select a first-choice from the more than 100 graduate specialist courses. After selection, his ap plication will be forwarded to the Graduate Specialist Central Ad missions Office. It takes about 15 days to receive a letter of ap proval. Once the senior is accepted, he will receive a written guarantee notifying him that a place in the course of his choice has been re served for him. The senior though, doesn't actually enlist un til after he graduates from high school, and shortly before the course begins. Hugh Bennett Pond Project By G. L. Winchester The North Carolina Chapter of the Soil Conservation Society of America is sponsoring a Hugh Bennett Pond Project to establish a Professorship in Soils at State College. This will be known as a Hugh Bennett Professorship and will provide a living memorial to him in the form of a scientist ded icated to unlocking secrets of the soil, which will lead to a more prosperous agriculture. The Soil Science Society and the State As sociation of Soil Conservation Dis trict Supervisors are co-sponsors in this project. E. B. Garrett of Raleigh, North Carolina, is chairman of the Wake County Committee. The Wake County Committee set up the following guide: that hop ing to get a minimum of 50 ponds in the county in which there is good fishing. Fishing will be al lowed in these ponds on Wednes days and Saturdays from May 8 through June 10. A ticket committee will handle the sale of tickets. A person buy ing a ticket may fish in any of the designated Hugh Bennett Ponds at the time the ticket is bought he will be given a list and location of the ponds available. These tick ets entitle the fisherman to bank fishing only. Wake County residents particu larly should be interested since State College is within the county and since we have some of the best productive ponds within the state. Dr. Bennett was a graduate of University of North Carolina and worked with the old Bureau of Soils in soil survey work through out the United States. He early became interested in the loss of our most valuable resource in our soils. In the early thirties when the Soil Erosion Service was organiz ed, Dr. Hugh Bennett became the first Chief and remained Chief un til he retired. No man in our generation has contributed as much to the con servation of our soil as Dr. Ben nett. He was not only interested in the conservation of soil but of water also. It was through his efforts and ideas that there was such an in crease in the number of ponds constructed in the late forties and up until the present time. The establishment of a professorship in soils will be a living tribute to his great work.
