Library News
How many questions would
you guess the Reference li
brarians at Davie County Pub
lic Library have received since
moving? It is hard to believe
that we have helped with a
good many questions from stu
dents, plus 235 others as of
April 29. Most of these are
from patrons in the library,
but some are taken by tele
phone, and the call is returned
after the necessary research.
We are glad now that we
have kept a day-by-day record
of reference questions which
have come in to us since Feb
ruary 21!
This work is done between
many other duties and the
questions require varying
amounts of time, according to
type of question and material
available. We are glad to give
any help we can. If you want
to use the reference books,
they are to be used in the
library.

Farners Should
Inquire lata
Opportaaities
Davie County farmers look
ing for an excellent invest
ment in farm production
shou'd inquire into the oppor
tunities now available through
the Davie County Forester's
Office under two new prog
rams" now in effect.
Davie County Forester Paul
J Bonardi, quoted a recent
CONSERVATION NEED
SURVEY showing that "ap
proximately 45 per cent of
the land area of Davie County
is in woodland. Generally, this
area is not in condition to
produce wood products to fill
the demand expected by the
year 1975. An expected 30
per cent increase in demand
for forest products will have
to be met by the same, or
slightly less, woodland acre
age. The present woodland ac
reage of Davie County will
have to be improved to pro
duce this additional wood."
After this survey was made,
the Southern Pine Beetle epi
demic hit Davie County. Now
our timber shortage is more
acute than ever.
To replenish our pine re
sources, the North Carolina
Forest Service is operating a
custom planting and hard
wood control crew. This crew
is comprised of a crew fore
man, with five honor grade
inmates from the North Car
olina Prison Department. This
system enables a landowner
to establish forest plantati
ons at much less expense
than would normally be incur
red using other hired labor.
Loblolly pine is being rec
ommended to plant on dryer
sites, which may be old
fields, catover areas, or cull
hardwood areas. Suitable
hardwood species may be
planted on sites with good
soil, however. Loblolly Pine is
a very desirable tree species
for reforestration, both from
the standpoint of timber pro
duction and farm beautifica
tion. It is relatively fast
growing and relatively beetle
resistant. Federal cost-shar
ing assistance is available
through the A. C. P. program
at the Mocksville A. S.C.S. Of
fice. Under this program, the
landowner is paid $14.00 per
acre as the Federal Govern
ment's share of the cost in
planting trees. Up to $15.00
per acre is paid for cull
hardwood control. In addi
tion of the AC.P. Funds, spe
cial funds are available
through the Appalachian Land
Stabilization and Conserva
tion Program, for those whose
land is is the Dutchman Creek
watershed area. The A.LS.C.
program will finance up to
80 per cent of the cost of
preparing land for planting
and for planting tree seed
lings. Anyone interested in
getting their woodland or
open land back into timber
production may obtain addi
tional information from the
County Forester at his office
in the Davie County Office
Building.

REV. GEORGE W. BOWMAN
"God k Alive"
God is alive! This is a very radical statement in our con
temporary world. The God is dead movement has flourished
with many speeches and articles on this theology. One theo
logian states, "God died with Christ on the Cross."
The deciding point not given is that though Christ died he
was resurrected, and this is the basis of Christianity. Instead at
God being dead in Christ, he is alive through Christ.
Starting with the evening services of Sunday, May 8, 1966,
at 7:30 p.m. and concluding May 15. 1966 at Jerusalem Baptist
Church the idea of a living God will be explored through the
week by Rev. George Bowman. Rev. Bowman is now serving
as Assoc. Director of the Pastoral Care Department of North
Carolina Baptist Hospital, Winston-Salem. He is the former
pastor of Faith Baptist Church, South Boston, Virginia. He
received his B. A. degree from the University of Richmond and
his B. D. degree from Union Theological Seminary at Richmond.
"God is alive." No one realizes this more than Reverend
Bowman in his work at the hospital. The alive God lets mir
acles be preformed through medicine as well as in our live*.
This transformation of our lives will take place next week in
the revival services.
The Rev. Dick Denson is pastor of Jerusalem RapHjf
Church.
