Allen, Jr., Cashier of the Waccamaw Bank and Trust Company, Kenansville, is one of thousands of participants in the Sixth Annual Gulf Air Tour to Florida, an event which is bring ing into the air the largest number' of private pilots in the history of aviation, Major Al Williams, noted speed flyer, Pulitzer trophy winner and . head of the aviation depart ment of the Gulf Oil Companies, disclosed yesterday. Designed to encourage cross country flying, this unusual Air Tour was open to any pilot of a plane, of 125 horsepower or less, Several thousand private pilots from all over the country took part in the flight Pilots used the nearest of four especially worked out Gulf Airways to Florida, all of which converged at Orlando, and branching out from that city to both Florida's east and west coasts. Free oil and gasoline was provided by Gulf dealers at some 70 inter mediate refueling points along the airways. Flyers from this area se cured Air Tour applications from the local Gulf airport dealer. Pilots took off any time after Jan uary 2nd and can complete their tour by January 26th. They can fly individually or in groups of their own choosing and can visit any part of Florida they desire.

Also $10,000 Road and Bridge Bonds, due March 1, 1947; issued March 1, 1921. Register of Deeds reported a total of fee collections for the year of 1946 as $6,497.46. An Increase of $939.00 over 1945. More than covers expense of office. I. N. Henderson, Tax Collector, reports December collections as $18,110.62. Joe Wallace, Duplin's Service Oficer, assisted 134 veterans during the month of December. It was reported that a resolution was passed here asking our Repre sentative and Senator to introduce a Bill to increase fees, of Justices of the Peace and Constables to a reasonable amount. A NEED FOR NURSES None of the billions appropria ted for veterans' benefits can be spent to better advantage than in an adequate program of health and hospital care. By "adequate" we mean, of course, the very best. The Veterans administration itself has adopted the happy slogan, "A Med ical Service Second to None." , To achieve this supremacy, how ever, VA must have the help of qualified civilians. The Citizen is informed .that there is a critical need of trained nurses at the Oteen and Oteen Annex tubercular hospi tals, which together have 2,074 beds available for veterans. "To utilize all available beds,'' writes Dr. David E. Quinn, manager of these veterans'' facilities, "we need at least 250 additional nurses 'at once. We feel that there are many nurses who served during the war who are interested in the welfare and return to good health of vet erans." ,.. :vy: ;v -f'. ' In addition to its element of pa triotism, this, appeal has many at tractive features. Pay and allow ances are generous, and nurses are not subject to Civil Service regula tions except in regard to retire ment There will be ample oppor tunity for additional training in association with outstanding physi cians and surgeons. Above this, the war veteran 'is deserving of the very best which a grateful nation can provide, not only in hospitals and e"""ment but also in skilled, c '! r.'nt2on . in. the i f f V:,9 Ar--r--l n r:; Sergeant E.

WEEKS Tobacco Plant Beds As soon as weather permits, to bacco growers will begin preparing ' plant beds for their 1947 crop. Blue mold has been a severe menace to tobacco plants for several years. Many treatments have been tried " for the control . .of this disease. Most of these were either too ex- . pensive, or too complicated to be ' very practicable. - ,.v'- :-". " A new material called Termate" - was offered on the market last -year. This material has proved to be the most effective, and most practical treatment for Blue. Mold yet tried. - .' . This material can be applied either as a dust or a spray. Most ": farmers prefer using it as a spray. Two to three pounds of the mater ial is required with 100 gallons of , water. From three to 6 gallons of spray is required per 100 yards of : plant bed depending on the size of ' the plants. - Fermate is a preventive treat- -ment and therefore, it should be applied to the plants before Blue Mold becomes a problem. Last year many farmers were unable to ,' find Fermate, but I understand that insecticide dealers in practically every town in the county will have -this material in stock during this ' coming plant bed season. If tobacco growers will plan nar row beds, approximately 12 feet or less In width, spraying will be much easier. : Holes By HILDA L.
