High School Band To Present Annual Concert Program for Eveni March 18 Released! Today by Director Activities of Band During Next Few Weeks Are Also Outlined The Plymouth High School Band of 42 pieces will present its spring concert in the Washington County courthouse here next Wednesday. March 18. at 3 o'clock in the evening, according to Director L. W Zeigler, who said that the admission price would be 25 cents for adults and 10 cents for children. Tire purpose of the concert, accord ing to the director, is to show the parents of the band members and the general public just what has been accomplished during the school year. The band has concentrated this semester on improved technique in concert playing, giving attention to volume and other phases of band improvement. Mr. Zeigler said it was hoped to make enough money at the concert to help pay for a new blue and silver lacquered bass drum recently ac quired. The old bass drum has been identified as the "firemen's band" bass drum, which was used by fire department musicians years ago. and it has seen its best days. The new drum Is the only piece of equipment acquired by the band this year. Other Activities Three members of the local band, including Mary Lillian Campbell, clarinetist: Skiner Ayers, trumpeteer: and Shelton McNair, drummer, went to Fayetteville recently and partici pated in the Eastern All-Star Band Concert at Fayetteville and Fort Bragg. Tomorrow' night, the following members of the band will take part in the All-Albemarle Band Concert at Cresw'ell school at 8 o'clock: Harry McLean Charles Brown. Helen Dar den. Zeb Norman, jr.. Fanny Lou Winslow. Carl Bailey, jr.. Jack Hor ton, Felton Magee. Mary Lillian Campbell. Gertrude Woolard, and Roy Manning. A number of the best players will graduate this year but, new entrants are already training to take their places and all vacancies are already filled with the exception of two school-owmed bass borns. which are now available for rent, and instruc tion will be given to any responsible and conscientious students. With study, these two persons can be ready to enter the playing band when school starts this fall. As soon as the weather shows signs of continued improvement, a public open-air concert will be given in front of the Legion Hall. This date will be announced later, accord ing to Director Zeigler, who says that band activities will pick up when the weather gets warmer. Parade Planned Sometime in the next few days the band will perform drills and marches in a parade on the streets down town.

WASHINGTON COUNTY Commissioneis "FOREST PRODUCTION WEEK" TO BE OBSERVED IN STATE DURING PERIOD RETWEEN MARCH 15 AND 21 Governor to Speak; Schools And Organizations To Cooperate In Event Raleigh, March 11.—Importance of the forests as sources of raw mater ials for defense purposes and for oth er vital needs will be stressed during ‘ Forest Protection Week” in North Carolina which has been proclaimed by Governor J. Melville Broughton for the period March 15-21. Especially emphasized during the week will be the necessity of protect ing the forest lands of the State aginst fires, their worst enemy, which burned over some 728,947 acres of privately owned lands in 1941. Fires. , officials of the Department of Con | servation & Development point out, accounted for about 13 percent of the total drain on North Carolina's for ests last year. Almost all of these could have been prevented by the ex ercise of proper precautions. Had the timber represented by Are waste been saved, a sufficient amout would have been preserved to supply lumber sufficient to build more than 5.000 regulation army barracks capa ble of housing almost 400,000 soldiers. Another source of waste of timber to which attention is being called are the cull trees, tops, and limbs four inches and larger wdiich were left in the forests each year. It is estimated that this waste amounts to approxi mately 1,000,000 cords of wood an jnually in North Carolina. Much of this, according to foresters, could be saved for pulpwood and fuelwood. Wood in various forms is essential to the prosecution of the war and the demand is increasing. It is estimated that pulpwood production will be about 15 percent higher In 1942 than for 1941; a 20 percent increase in lumber production is forecast; and the naval stores program calls for a 50 percent increase in turpentine and allied products. In the face of these and other increasing demands for forest products, an extensive paper salvage program has been organized: and foresters declare that it will be necessary to protect the forests in jvery way possible in order to pre serve this source of raw materials for iefense and for use after the present emergency. "Fores Protection Week’’ will be of ficially opened by a radio address Monday, March 16th, from 8:30 to 8:45 p. m.. by Governor Broughton, who will also speak on “Arbor Day,” March 20th from 1:30 to 1:15 p. m. Since "Arbor Day” falls within “For est Protection Week,” its general ob sesrvance is being used. Pruning Pines New O r Forestry Practice; Pruning shrubs and fruit trees has long been recognized as a valuable practice, and now comes the sugges tion from R. W. Graeber. extension forester of N. C. State College, that North Carolina farmers prune their pine trees. The idea has been tried out for the past two years, but now it is beyond the experimental stage, says Graeber. The extension forester has obtain ed a supply of a new U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture publication, en titled “Pruning Southern Pines.” He has placed a quantity of these book lets in the hands of county farm agents of the extension service. They are free upon request for Farmers’ Bulletin No. 1892. Copies also will be sent free from the Extension Forest er's office at State College. “The growing of pines as a crop on the farm is well on its way as one of the South's most profitable devel opments,” Graeber stated. The only drawback, he says, is that the bulk of the pine timber in the South is j growing in understocked stands,! where there are too few trees per acre. —--« CONTAINERS Paper bags will apparently come into wide use as containers for fer tilizer and other supplies as the bur lap situation becomes one of agricu ture’s immediate problems.
