After 40 years from his native
Waynesville, Lynn Corzine revisits
here to find that his stay In the
higher mountains of the State of

hills have gone down," he said.

home.
Mr. Corzine works for the Wal

valley and in the heart of the tall
timber country. He tells of one
huge fir tree cut there in February
that stood 256 feet high and furn
ished 71 .541 board feet of lumber.
Its growth was estimated by a
count of the rings to have begun
in 1265 A. D. 227 years before
Columbus discovered America.
Within sight of his Washington
home, Mr. Corzine sees the snow
capped peaks of Mount Ranier
and Mount Baker. "It never gets
very cold there, cither," he stated,

Surplus Airplanes Are
Bought By Veterans
WASHINGTON Air conscious
veterans are buying up most of the
Government's surplus airplanes,
now that they have a high priority.
Under an amendment to the Sur
plus Property Act signed by Presi
dent Truman last month, veterans
were given a priority second only
to Government agencies.
In two sales of aircraft since
then, the War Assets Administra
tion says, veterans snapped up most
of the desirable planes.

34 YEARS
To Stabilization
Of Rural Roads
Western Counties
Not Considered
In Bad Need Rural
Road Repairs
RALEIGH The special $10,000,
000 appropriation promised the
State Highway Commission by Gov
ernor Cherry for rural road stabi
lization will be used solely for
weatheroroofing unpaved farm
roads. Highway Commission offi
cials said yesterday. The grant was
made contingent on the condition
of highway revenue at the end of
the current fiscal year and it is ap
parent the surplus will be available.
Chairman A. H. Graham's office
pointed out that income from gaso
oline and motor vehicle taxes is
running far ahead of earlier esti
mates, providing ample funds for
the proposed road repairs.
Stabilization Only.
Unlike the $10,000,000 appropria
tion already in use for secondary
road projects, the special fund can
be applied only to stabilization and
not to hard surfacing or new build
ing.
By limiting expenditure of the
funds to the neediest sections of
rural road, highway engineers pre
dicted they may be able to "make
some improvements" on dirt roads
in every county.
The largest amount of work
however, is planned for county
roads in the area west of the costal
fringe and east of Hickory.
"Roads in the western counties
have been gravelled and graded
with crushed rock and stone easily
available in the area and will not
need retreatment on a large scale,"
commission officals reported
"To try to stabilize the roads in
some sandy sections at the coast
would be a waste of gravel and ma
tcrials," it added. "The only logi
cal treatment for roads in that sec
tion is to install an expensive drain
age system and to construct road
beds, which will also be expensive,
"Materials for this work won't
become available for at least an
other year, and the $10,000,000 ap
propriation lor stabilization may
not be applied to such projects.'
Under Division Supervision.
The work will be conducted und
cr the supervision ot the various
division highway commissioners
and engineers, the commission ex
plained, and will include gravel
ing, top-soiling and draining.
The aim of the program is to give
rural residents a road surface
which will stand up under winter
rains and thaws until the commis
sion is able to begin h' more
permanent hardsurfacing projects
Graham has recommended.
In practically every case, the
commission said, the work will be
done by the regular highway work
crews, using their own equipment
The commission reported that it
did not plan to grant contracts for
the improvements, except to obtain
or rent trucks to haul stone and
sand.
Pepper Shortage
I By Government
BALTIMORE John N. Curlett
vice-president of McCormick and
Co., Inc., in a statement blamed the
shortage of black pepper in Ame-
ca on "Government agencies charg
ed with handling it during the
war."
He declared much "misinforma
tion" has been disseminated as to
the reason for the scarcity, adding,
the commodity has been very
poorly handled by Government
agencies."
He stated the agencies have
missed opportunity after oppor
tunity to bring black pepper into
this country, using as an alibi the
war and price control," and "ig
noring suggestions" offered by the
spice industry, regaraing peppei
imports.
Mr. Curlett said all other coun
tries enjoy free trading in pepper,
enabling them to purchase and
sell the spice at world price with
out restriction, while the com
modity is rigidly controlled
under subsidy in America.
Because of this, he said,
consumers have no pepper.'
TO CANCEL OLD DEBT
ATLANTA Georgia is prepar
ing to cancel an 108-year-old debt
Monday that has cost it $25,000,000
in interest.
The debt will be wiped out Julv

$863,702 of the $5,000,000 Western
& Atlantic Railroad issue mature.
State Auditor B. E. Thrasher, Jr.
said the $25,000,000 total interest
cost is approximate, since the debt
is so old some of the records have

there seemed little chance that the
celebration would be other than
safe and full of enjoyment for all
who attended.
