MAY HURT TREES
Horticulture specialists say
tliat heavy cutting back of trees
removes limbs on which the
leaves grow, destroys the natural
shape of the tree, makes the tree
more compact (when they’re
usually already too compact),
and may cause the tree to decay
and disease'to set in unless the
wound is kept covered with
special tree paint.

COMMISSIONERS MEET FIRST MONDAY
High and Low Lights of the County
As Picked Up Monday In Carthage
The Board of Commissioners of * ingham. Mrs. Guye believes the
Moore County met Monday for women gained knowledge which
their customary monthly meeting, j will be especially valuable in
All members were present as was their leadership of 4-H girl
Mrs. Bessie Griffith, registrar of‘groups,
deeds and secretary of the board.
Following are a few items dis
cussed during the day’s reports of
achiey,ements, hopes and plans
for county affairs.
Robbins Rest FJome Opened:
As reported by Mrs. W. B.
Cole, superintendent of
County’s Department of Public
Welfare.
The home, formerly operated
by Mrs. Connie Howard and
closed since circumstances pre
vented her continuation of the
project, has been reopened by
Mrs. John Smith, formerly of
Goldston. Mrs. Smith, who ran
a similar establishment in Chat
ham County, moved in with her
two daughters, her husband, and
a helper, a short time ago and
the doors of the Robbins Home
wore reonened, as one of seven
boarding homes in Moore Coun
tv, on Saturday.
Home beautification and gar
den and shrubbery planting is
being emphasized this month,
Mrs. Guye said. She is attempt
ing to secure the services of a
state specialist to visit the clubs
and give instruction in rooting
bushes from cuttings, as a
m.oney-saver( she finds the cost
of* buying shrubbery prevents
Md' from planting around their
homes.
(Ed. query; is there no one in
county farm agent’s office who
can do this?).
No Negro On Farm Staff Yet
The oft-repeated wish of Moore
County Negro farmers for a Ne
gro on the staff of the Extension
Service remains to be fulfilled.
Commissioners’ explanation;
when the state had an available
man, the county did not make the
necessary appropriation; now the

Since the county home wmnt
to the dogs, the pound establish
ed there has been costing the
county about $5,500 a year. This
is $1,300 more than was allotted
this agency in the 1955-’56 bud
get.
Dog taxes cover this and then
some. In 1955 they came to $3,-
600, last year they brought in
$8,107. The pound vaccinated 9
dogs last month, picked up 16,
destroyed 43, sold 1, (for $2.00).
Dog warden W. H. Barbour re
ported several lost dogs found and
returned to owners upon
payment of board while kept at
the pound. The rule says; dogs
must be kept a minimum of, 10
days before destruction.
"The fields of the county, farm
are leased to Thomas and Alec
Fry, it was stated.
Taxes:
Collections down 12% below
last January, as reported by Mrs.
Estelle Wicker of the county tax
bureau. She said the listing time
had been extended to Feb. 15.
Complications over a shifting
about of funds from the Vass-
Lakeview school-building bud
get, (“they aren’t ready to use it
yet”) to the High Falls building
pro^am, (“they’ve alrealy put in
the heating plant and started on
the four new classrooms and here
come the bills!”), was smoothly
resolved: the request came in a
letter from the Board of Educa
tion “They know all about it
and the best way to handle it;
j everybody agrees,” Chairman
' Gordon Cameron assures Com-
.missioner Jimmy Pleasants, agi-
Itating about his “territory.”

by five m embers of the staff, has
worn out. It will take $295 to re
place it. Discussion of how funds
could be shifted about to end up
in the almost depleted equip
ment fund resulted in general
bafflement: Situation stymied:
need remains.
The superintendent’s request
for a clothes closet, where dona
tion.- from the Junior Women’s
Club in Southern Pines and the
public, could be kept for distri
bution to needy welfare cases,
brought the promise of; “believe
we can work something out
there. There must be room in the
present space,” (now rented by
the county for the Health De
partment’s monthly clinic).
Farm Homes Work In Hand
Miss Flora McDonald, Home
Demonstration leader in the farm
extension service, made 27 club
visits this past month, besides
various council and state meet
ings, she told the commissioners.
She has a list of 392 non-club
members she wants to visit dur
ing February. Or start to visit.
Mrs. Rosetta Guye reported
much constructive activity
among Negro home demonstra
tion clubs. Highlight of the past
month was the visit of 10 club
members Mrs. Guye conducted to
the Singer- Sewing Machine Com
pany’s two-day school in Rock-
no bedding or mess.” “No bed
ding? None at all?” “No sir.”
. . . “Poor pig.” ... “Maybe in
cold weather they’d give him
bedding.”)

Mr John WilJcox of McClen
don’s Creek, and his son spoke
on the condition of their road, lo
cated between Glendon and Put
nam, around Cool Springs
Church. “Nobody’s been able to
travel it for .nigh onto six weeks
school bus, mailman, can’t
get through. . . bookmobile tried
it and got stuck, had to get the
tractor and pull her out twice.
We got in here this morning be
cause it was deep froze up; can’t
tell if well get back tonight;
bottom may have dropped _ right
out. Only a blacktop job will
really fix it.”
Com. “The road people say
there isn’t a big enough traffic
count on that road to justify
blacktoppipg it.”
Son Willcox: “How can there
be a traffic count when nobody
can get through the road?”
No conclusion. Commissioners
will request action on the part of
Messrs Hough and Cole,' Moore
