MR. LEE ANNOUNCES
METHODIST SERVICES
1. The young people of the
Methodist Church have requested
their paitor to bring a Sunday
night series of messages to them.
They have asked for a discussion
of the actual sins that put Jesus
to death. The first of these mess
ages will be given Sunday night
at the home of Mrs; H. A. Cam
eron at 6 o’clock. Indifference of
the good ’people toward Jesus
is the sin that drove the first nail
in his hand. Parents as well as the
young are invited to dron in for
the service.
2. Sunday, morning St 11 Ol-
clock the Minister will discuss a
subject that has been discarded
by the church. Yet it is as vital
today as in the olden days—the
subject is “The Judgments of
God.” So many people do not ibe-
lieve in either God or his Judg
ments. Judgment is a present fact.

Patrol To Mark
Scenes Of Deaths
On N. C. Highways
Raleigh,—Beginning March 13,
red numerals in red circles will
be used on the highways of the
State to mark scenes of fatal ac
cidents, Col. C. R. Tolar, com
mander of the Highway Patrol,
reported today. The numerals
will be three feet high.
The new project was conceived
in line with the Department of
Motor Vehicles’ continuing pro
gram to combat highway fatali
ties.
“Soinething has got to be done
about this senseless slaughter on
the highways,” Col. Tolar stated,
after 15 persons were killed over
the past week end in traffic acci
dents.
Following approval of the idea
by Dr. H. W. Jordan, chairman
'bf the Highway and Public Works
Commission. Col. Tolar sent out
instructions to Patrol sergeants
to have red circles with numerals,,
ifepresenting lives lost, stenciled
on the highways in their districts
at the point of each . fatal acci
dent. Where fatal accidents oc
cur in a curve, the red circles will
be placed oii the approaches to
the cur\e with an arrow pointing
to the accident spot.
Some plan for marking sites of
fatal accidents on dirt roads will
be worked out at a later date.
Col. Tolar said.
The circled numerals will be
used on the open highways only,
but Col. Tolar was hopeful that
cities will cooperate in the plan
by using the same system for
marking places of traffic deaths
in municipalities.

Pascal String Quartet
To Appear At FMC
Thursday, March 16
The famous Pascal String
Quartet, which is the official
quartet of the French National
Radio, will be presented , in
concert at Flora Macdonald col
lege on ’Thursday evening. March
16, at 8:15, as the fourth number
of the year’s concert-lecture ser
ies.
Olin Downes, distinguished mu
sic critic of the New York Times,
wrote of this delightful group, on
its first tour of the United States
last year. “The Pascal String
Quartet gave a concert with as
tonishing results, last night in
Town Hall — the exquisite ba
lances between the instruments,
and the perfect matching of son
orities and tone-colors, when a
phrase passed from one instru
ment to another, were beyond
praise — in the Ravel Quartet,
the composer is a marvelous tone-
painter. a veritable wizard in the
exploitation of the unsuspected
toen colors of which the four
stringed instruments are capable.
These effects were realized last
night as in no other performance
of the Ravel that we had heard.”
ei the four performers
was bom In France, and each be
longs to an old French family.
But the really interesting point is
that they all come from different
French citijes, so they represent all
France. Before the second world
war, they all held high positions
in the musical world, as virtuoso
soloists, or members of the na
tional orchestras or chamber or-,
ganizations. It was after the fall
of France that, fleeing German
domination, the four musicians
met in Marseilles and there formr
ed what’ has become one of the
world’s greatest string quartets.

farm of C. H. Tyner.
From our .experience last year
blue mold control is certai-nly
worth our attention and- efforts.
By proper application of the cor
rect chemicals this disease can
be prevented.
It is recommended that either
dust or spray treatments be start
ed when the plants are the size
of a dime and continued until
transplanting. Repeat either treat
ment twice each week and after
every rain.
Dust % Treatment
Several chemicals are effective
in the control of . this disease.
Either loG- Fermate, 10% Dith-
ane, or 10% Parzate Dust should
be used twice each week, start
ing when plants are the size of a
dime, as follows:
1st to 4th application, M'c lbs.
per 100 sq. yds. per application;
5th to 6th application. 2 4 to 3
lbs. per 100 sq. yds. per applica
tion; All additional applications.
3 4 to 4 I’os. per 100 sq. yds. per
application.
(1) Do not use dust mixtures
in sprays.
(2) Apply early in the morn
ing or in evening when air is
quiet-preferably when plants are
moist with dew.
(3) Do not fill hopber more
than 2-3 full at any time.
(4) Be sure all' leaves show
uniform coating of dust.
(5) It is best to remove cover
before treating. The hand power
ed crank type duster is best type
duster to use.
Spray Treatment
Use 764 Fermate. 65% Dithane
or 65% Parzate at the rate of 1
pound to 25 gallons of water (5
level tablespoonfuls per gallon.)
Amount needed to cover plants;
1st to 4th application, 3 to 3% gal
lons per 100 sq. yards per appli
cation; 5th to 6th application, 4
gallons per 100 sq. yards per ap
