Man and Mule Labor To Build Highways Regulations for Relief Funds Provide for IVIaximum ITse ()t Hand Labor “Ma!i ami mule laboi will return to their own in the highway construc tion prosfiam soan to be undertaken II'. this State under provisions of the Emerffency Relief Act,” Hijrhway Chairman E. B. Jeffress said today, complying with the requirement to ‘■provide the maximum employment <;f local labor consistent with reason able economy of construction.” Au gust 1() is the date set for opening I'ids and letting contacts, other let- tmgs to follow rapidly for a few months, he said. Ad.iitional regulations to fcrmer lules have been received, requiring that all work possible be done bv hand and team labor. Ex-service men with dependents will 'be preferred, then, in oi'der, residents of the county, tidjoininj*' county and the State fol lowing in unskilled labor. No state lines are drawn foi' skilled labor. Un- i-killed workei's are to be employ ed from lists furnished by county or local relief agencies, when available. Employees are limited to 30 hours ii week, requiring two shifts, and the State Highway Commission fixes min imum wages for skilled and unskilled labor, but the regulations prevent boarding places from charging high f rices for board and lodging, and charges for hauling workers to iftul from living places are limited to rail and bus fares. The regulations spec ify minutely kinds of laboi' that must be done by hand and teams, permit ting machinery only when required. It means a return to labor methods prevailing two or three decades ago. Cheaper types of roads vvill pre vail in this program. Chairman Jef- I'ress said, much of it being the new but fully approved “mixed-in-place” type. This is of stone crushed to about two inches, spread on a well prepared roadbed, then asphalt pour ed on and worked in thoroughly. Worked into the supporting earth, this road becomes smooth, solid and forming an excellent and last ing surface. The cost is $5,000 a mile or less, lending itself to hard labor. Moreover, future roads in this State will be built without the high ridges in the center and without the deep ditches on the sides. \ center one inch higher then the edges is suf ficient fo!’ slow an I easy drainage, ard prevents washing which forms the “washboard” in soft roads. “The gi eater the slope the deeper the washer.” is an axiom that will be re- vei’sed. No more concrete shoulders w’ill be built for “niiy>-d-in-place,” oiled liravel or oiletl sandclay roads, the driving surface easing off into f hallow ditches, thus saving thous- nnds of dollars in maintenance co.st annually and making the roads safer and smoother, Chaii-man Jeffress said. MANLY F^ixielniarst F^s^ragraipHs The annual out-door meeting of The Woman’s Auxiliary of The Com munity Church was held at the Coun try Club on Tuesday evening with an imusually large attendance. At six- thirty a bountiful picnic supper was enjoyed after which Mrs. Rassie Wicker, president of the Auxiliary called the meeting to order. Mrs. H. 1'.. Conant read the devotional and Mrs. Charles Fields, as program leader introduced Mrs. J. R. Page of Aberdeen, speaker of the evening. With characteristic graciousness and sincerity Mrs. Page expressed her pleasure at meeting with this group of women, referring tt> them as her children as she was the Mother of this organization. Christian Citizen ship was the subject used by the speaker m one of the most impressive messages ever heard by this group. The influence upon youth of the adult’s smallest act and word, and the Mother's part in this, the great est avenue of service open to women were among the fine points stressed by Mrs. Page. Guests of the .■\uxiliary included Mrs. J. I. O’Brien, Mrs. Coburn, Mrs. j Kennedy, Mrs. Leonard Tufts and, •Mrs. B. C. Cole. j The Rev. W. .M. McLeod announced ■ on last Sunday that during the month of August, preaching would ^ be held at 9 o’clock each Sabbath' niorning in.^tead of 11 as heretofore, with Sunday school immediately fol-| lowing at 10. It was the desire of i those making this change to have the services at an early hour when thej congregation might be more comfor-i table during what is ordinarily our; hottest month, but let us hope wei took our punishment in temperatures ir. July and look forward to these four delightful services. The Rev. and Mrs. T. A. Cheat ham left this week, motoring up to the Oyster Harbor Club on Cape Cod.

JULY WEATHER July gave us a “hot spell” lasting almost as long a.« the famous twepty one days of July 1925. Beginning with 95 degrees on the 8th and rang ing up to 105 on the 22nd; and while July 1931 did show a temperature of 104 this July gave us a 94-95-96-97- 98, four 99’s, one 100, two lOl’s and one each 103, 104 and 105, this latter being just two under the record of July 1926, 107. These high figures combined to give us a maximum of 96, and a minimum of 72, making the average for the month 84; 2-8 de grees higher than July 1931, and 5-1 legrees over the normal temperature. St. Swithin’s Day w’as clear and dry, and so far the promise has held good only 3.74 inches of rain falling as against the normal precipitation of 7.35 inches, the heaviest shower that of the 25th registering only 1.48 in ches. However, we are still 3.27 in ches ove rthe normal for the year. SEPTEMBER JURY LIST L. Phillips, Norman Britt, Ira Free man.
