proceeds from the $200,000,000

and that the large-scale improvement
program for primary routes
financed from remilar hicrhwav
income, is largely "off-line" work.
This consists of widening hardsurfacing
and shoulders, which do
not halt the flow of traffic.
In cases where new road beds
are being built, traffic is continuPERSONALS

ing on the old road, and motorists
encounter no delays. Because
North Carolina has greatly expanded
its secondary highway
system, short detours can be arranged
where they are absolutely
necessary. The high quality of
North Carolina's farm-to-market
road system makes it possible to
keep main-line traffic traveling
continuously on good paved roads
even when detours are necessary,
Dr. Jordan said.
Some $50,000,000 of the $200,
000,000 bond issue has already
been allocated for work on farmto-market
roads. At the same time
th?? Worth Carolina Hiffhwav Pom_
mission has a $70,000,000 annual
budget for regular highway construction
and maintenance.
American Association Of
University Women Spends
Money For Community
Services
The annual rummage sale sponsored
by the American Association
of University Women is the
source of income for the branch's
community services. This year the
group voted to spend the proceeds
from the sale as follows:
$95.00 for overseas relief ($55
for CARE packages, $25 for
School Packs - for school supplies
for children in Europe and
other war devastated countries,
and $15 for the CARE Book Coupons
which make it possible for j
people in European countries to
get magazine subscriptions).
$50 for the Western North Carolina
Girl Scout Council to go toward
the salary* of a Girl Seoul
Leader-Trainer for this area.
$25.00 for books and magazines
for the Bryson City colored schoo.
$25.00 for the Swain County
high school senior trip to Wash
ington, D. C.
The group has limited funds
but makes an effort each year t(
contribute something for outstand
ing community needs. As the A
A.U.W. is a part of a larger international
organization and needs
abroad are keenly felt it has been
much interested in giving something
for overseas relief as well.
Net farm income in 1949 was
about 16 per cent lower than a
year earlier.
