A small amount of pruning can be done oil flowering shrubs at any time. Evergreens should be pruned several times during the summer, removing only a small amount of growth at any one time. If the shrub has been neglected for years and needs a severe "cutting back" to be put back in shape, John H. Harris, extension landscape specialist of N. C. State college, says this should be. done in late winter or early spring be fore growth starts. Where the plant must be severely pruned, it is better to reduce the plant to half the desired .size the first year and complete the pruning bp- alone. The traffic problem is large ly a local prob.lem, and definite steps toward eliminating accidents must come, for the most part, from enforcement officials, educational leaders and interested organizations and individuals in each and every community in the state. ' Hocutt said there was consider able safety activity on the part of many groups in the state last year. but that much of this activity was of the flaish-in-the-pan variety. "Safety activity, to be most ef fective, must be carefully planned, assiduously acrried out and well coordinated," he stated.
