THE X. V. ROYS KOAI PATROL.
By J. H. RICH.)
At a meeting of the State Associa

Hoys Patrol was demonstrated out
on the lawn before the Convention.
The drag was constructed by a boy
from the country in 30 minutes out
of 25 cents worth of material. It was
a V-shaped drag. Following the dem
onstration the Association passed the
following resolution: Resolved that
we favor the Xorth Carolina Boys
Patrol which is a state law as a meas
ure for economical road maintenance
and that we urge that it be put in
operation as quickly as possible.
The principle of the Hoys Road
Patrol is such as to command it to
every community where road main
tenance is desired In an effective and
economical way. Passed by act of
legislature In 1915 the Board of Ag
riculture is charged and directed to
organize the patrol in 'the counties
of the state, the counties themselves
putting up $100 first and that
fame be organized. Ten counties
of the state have done this and yet
the Hoard of Agriculture has not aa
ted in the matter. It Is understood
that several members of the Board
desire the law carried out but on ac
count of a dilatory attitude of other
members the matter has been delayed
It is to be hoped that after the
strong resolution above which has
been passed by a body on whom the
State (Hoard of Agriculture are de
pendent on for Initial work in trie
counties in several ways that the sug
gestion contained in the resolution
will be carried out at the December
