MAN MADE Fire is the forest’s most deadly enemy: It is particularly destruc tive in' the South. 81 of every 100; acres of forest land burned in the United States are in the South. In fire. ag{l. its after effects destroyed almost as,much pulpwoud as [was used by all the Strut hern pulp and paper mills combined. Such tremendous los ses of this great natural resource not only affect, the landowner; . they also strike at the welfare of many communities. ' It is difficult to believe, but nigst. Southern forest fires are started intentionally — some ev en maliciously. More than 60rf of all 'fires arp deliberately nset— The incendiaries — and these in clude those fires maliciously- set in someone rise's woods —'caus ed almost 40'I of all forest fires.

Kraft Dir.. Tnic. Paper Co. ~ r~~~~ Tar Heel PEOPLE & ISSUES By Cliff Blue IN RETROSPECT.. .With 1955 cbtnjflg to a. fast close, it should /lot be'amiss to take, a brief gla.ncc at the year’s political high lights as it fades into history. When the year yyas dBWHtnc HoCTuno: Hodges Was the . popu lar.-new Govcrndr with the well wishes of most everybody in Tar hfcelia, but who fayed an uncer-. tain, future with the .General As sembly. new taxes.- segregalibn and water legislation. Refusing to ;;ll"inpt t i dictate to the General Assembly,'lie hit it OH well >yith , t.l.W lawmakers Unprecedented prosperity, has been a major fac; tor in making his administration popular and his job as- governor easier. With almost perfect bal ance: he his walked the tight rope of school " segrega tion in a manner which appears' to he supported to this point, at least, by a goodly majority of the Tar-IIecl citizens. He got his wat er legislation but mother nature -stepped' in with moreriains in. Tin to ease the need for its ap plication. • ^ ' ' Senator Sam Ervin. Jr., with the.hTessings of his colleague Kerr Scott, appears4- tp - have hit it off in his new role in Washhtg-’ Hodges in Raleigh. Kerr Scott ap pears to have mellowed a little, but can still kiek-up his heels when he feels the occasion arises. He tame forth with one of the idUif^tfale&inan-Iike suggestions as to farm relief legislation yet to be offered in his plan to' pro vide full parity for the little farm ers ' • ., "MAJOR ISSUE . . . Despite the fact that ‘Governor Hodges and, many of the party leaders in the state hope to prevent school seg regation from becoming a burn ing ISsue'in the ’3tt gubernatorial race, our preditcion is that in the final lap of t ie campaign it will . hold*-the center of attention and. for this Reason the candidates should grve serious thought in, the beginning to their approach and position on ‘ the explosive is sue. ' ' ,7 • ■—*__v >§ if ' ■ GUBERNATORIAL. . We think the possibility is growing that Terry Sanford of Fayetteville will run.for governor in 1&56. W hile' he is certainly not expect-' ed to run hf Henry Jordan be comes a candidate, Governor Hodges is following tie course Jordan would normally be ex pected to follow regarding schoof segtegation and policies in gen eral, which lessens.the pull for Jordan to makefile race. SanfdVct would be expected to follow a more liberal coursj&rsuch as might be Mvdeated by Frank —firahamr Jnntrthnn Daniels apd a goodly number of educational, leaders over the State. With a good organization- they might weH corral a sizeable vote which could seriously threaten the suc cess of the Hodges candidacy. To lead a campaign based on a UBetal program, Sanford might weH be considered a more logical _candidateythan Jordan. * MAY COME BACK ... The .po sition taken by (Jovernor Hodge, on l ie sale of the old Piedmont Test Farm, which Stag Ballentine opposed, arid his attitude follow ing the SBI -investigation- report, on the filing of Beer Inspector Hubert Harrell in Jacksonville, may come bac|c to haunt him dur ing. the gubernatorial' campaign next spring. Li. GOVERNOR ’ Kidd B:ew er and- Rep. Lon-Edwards appear to be definitely in the running for lieut. governor. One of the three, Edwin Pate, Oscar Richard son or Ben Douglas, is regarded ^as almost cfetairi tp run; fn this trio it appears to be up to Pate fo run. and ;if he decides against it,‘Douglas is . regarded as the most likely to g<r forth as the-re p resentative of the conservative * Trtrre ' nf the -party.- Arth we -K+rk man of ftigh Point aftd Edwards of Greerfe County are regarded as more representative, of the “go forward-’' w-|ng of the party. HOKE RACE ... Word coming to this ^column is that Charles Hostestler, former deputy insur ance commissioner and now prac ticing- aitorney~~in Raelord will run for the House in_Hoke Coun ty in the 1956 Democratic pri mary./ Hostestler practiced law in Raeford before serving as deputy insurance commissioner. Harry A. Greene'who has represented Hake County in The House during the past five sessions is expected to jpn again; at least we have heard noting to' the contrary: Greene who w'as first nominated in a three-way race in 1946. has not had opposition for his subse quent terms. JJpke Jind RandiTlph will furnish the two sehatorsTrSm the twelfth -distrief in-4956, and it could be. that Greene will try for the. Senate rather than offer for the House again. J. Benton —Thomas—served—rrr the—Sen a te from Hoke In the 1949, and 1953 sessions of the General Assem bly, and may run again. * AUTO SALES ...’'Automobile registrations in North Carolina during the. month of November were: Cars—Ford 2946.

Garden Time <>.■ Robert, Schmidt The' ,poinsett\n--bas. lortS been a ■ popular Christmas plant but probab^-Wiwople hav'e given much thought to the fact that it does come into. bloom each year onlv at this season. The so-called blooms are, really Italy bracts which color up a bnHiantJgd. The true flowers a o the small insignificant vellovvish cups found in the center of the, whorl of red bracts. The poinsettia.'is one, of group Ol plants known :is short day plants because it will-bloom only in the-* season of/the year with short day length periods, preferably.TO hours or less. That is why it is always .in bloom dur - ing thp Christmas season, and not du ihg the summer It could be prevented from blooming now by lengthening. the day Jight period to 15.hours by mafcns of artificial lights . Flower growers have learn ed how to bring garden chysan themums into bloom ^ny month of the year by using shading cjoth to shorten the days and artificial lights to lengthen the days. The chrysanthemum is also a short day'plant. How can one keep^a jjoinsettia plant until next season?' After its usefulness is over, place it in the basement or sftme dry place where it will not freeze. Do not it/” nr; at least vWv/lltllt!, and let the soil dry up. Next May bring the plant out, cut the stem back about two-thirds, wash the old soil oft the roots' and re-pet in new. sorl. From then an handle eous- 14. t’rosley, Henry J ««eTid, Kaiser .sold none.
