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.

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.

on last Sunday that during the
month of August, preaching would ^
be held at 9 o’clock each Sabbath'

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.

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.
