EXPLANIS HOW
CEMETERY HERE
IS OPERATED
Plan Clean Up May 5;
Financial Set-up
Is Outlined
A statement setting tort.h the
financial situation of the
Franklin Cemetery association
and who own lots in the ceme
tery for cooperation in keeping
the place clean and attractive,
was issued this week by Gilmer
A. Jones, in his capacity as
chairman of the association's
board of directors.
The statement follows:
"This information (and ap
peal) is for each member of the
r'ranklln Cemetery association
and is directed toward no mem
ber in particular, but to every
member in general.
"First, each member of the
association is entitled to know
how the association is getting
along financially. When the
original tract was bought in
1922 at the price of $2,500, one
hundred lots were sold at $10
each to make the first payment
of $1,000. The remaining $1,500
was borrowed from a. bank and
interest at 6 per cent was paid
on the loan until enough lots
were sold to linish paying for
it. After the first 100 lots were
sold at $10 each, the price of
the lots was raised to $20 and
$25. From each sale of lots the as
sociation has finished paying
for the original tract, paid for
cleaning it off, surveying it,
developing it, and giving it such
maintenance as it has had over
a period of 26 years. In addi
tion, the association has acquir
ed an adjoining tract of 13
acres lor the price of $3,900, to
ward which it has paid $2,000.
The remaining $1,900 was bor
rowed from various individuals
without interest, under the
agreement that all the proceeds
irom the sale of lots would be
prorated among them as lots
were sold until the debt is dis
charged. This cuts off any
source of revenue for mainte
nance until this debt has been
paid, except such contributions
as may be made by individuals.
"The caretaker is paid for
keeping up individually owned
lots in the cemetery, but not
the cemetery as a whole, or un
sold lots. He cannot be expect
ed to pick up withered flowers,
various sorts of containers, and
other refuse that accumulates
around the cemetery. A lot of
people thoughtlessly remove
flowers from graves on their
own lots and throw them? and
in some cases tin cans and
other containers ? along the
driveway or on other people's
lots. We know this is done
thoughtlessly, and for that rea
son we are calling it to the at
tention of all the members. An
other undesirable practice is the
use of glass containers for flow
ers. These are easily broken,
and when broken constitute a
hazard. It is also next to im
possible to pick up broken glass.
"Some are evidently not aware
of the regulation prohibiting the
planting of trees and shrubs on
the cemetery. We sincerely hope

Solid success has rewarded our program to raise the atandard of

the benefit it brings the North Carolina publio.
Such a program aids law-enforcement aganeiaa In controlling the
few dealers who do not conform to the laws you have made. It aorvaa
by safeguarding the millions in taxot contributed by the brewing
industry to our State treasury and to the oo unties and municipali
ties wherein beer is licensed to be told. It reduoes the problems
of licensing and regulation.
A program good for you it good for ut, too. And wo gladly aftrm that

that this regulation will be com
[.iied with, as a number of trees .
uave grown to the extent that
iney are completely obstructing

"Sale of lots will probably dis
charge the indebtedness in
about five years. Until then,
let's by cooperation and the ex
ertion of individual effort, and j
abjve all, by the stimulation of
a sense of pride in OUR ceme
tery, keep it in the best shape
we can.
"Allow us to suggest that
those who place flowers at
graves see to it that these flow
ers are removed from the ceme
tery after they become unsight
ly. Please do not use glass con
tainers, and see to it that con
tainers are turned upside dowr
when not in use so they will not
catch water, 'and thereby avoiu
freezing in winter or becoming
a mosquito breeding place in
summer. Unfortunately, there is
no provision made for a place
to dump refuse at the cemetery.
You are requested to bring
flowers to the cemetery. You
are also requested to take them
away when they become un
sightly.
"I am suggesting that the
members of the association l.ieet
on the grounds at 1 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, May . 5,
with the idea of giving the
place a thorough cleaning. If
you come, please bring sacks or
boxes to carry off rubbish, and
any tools that you may desire
to use. > If you cannot come
yourself, send a hand, and if
you can't send a hand, if you
, care to do so, send us a check

Help America produce for peace
TURN IN
SCRAP IRON AND STEEL
from your
BUSINESS
MORE SCRAP MAKES
MORE STEEL
MORE GOODS
MORE JOBS
In the interests of all American consumers,
workers and industry, General Motors is
sponsoring a nationwide drive to keep
scrap iron and steel moving back to the
steel mills. Without scrap, much-needed
new steel can't be produced . . . and
scrap is critically scarce.
As public spirited citizens of this com
munity and as a dealer in General Motors
products, we are glad to take part in this
far-reaching program. Won't you do your
part, too? Help keep factories humming,
workers earning and families supplied by
turning in every available ounce of old
scrap iron and steel. Phone any collector
of scrap metals ? commercial or charitable
?to come and get your scrap, or take it
to the junk yard yourself.
