C. ten cents per copy $2M PER YEAB Weekly Weevil Survey Shows Value Of Dust Percentages Indicates That Repeated Poisoning Reduces Number Of Punctures / The weekly cotton insect sur- ' vey made June (25) Monday shows that the boll weevil is well , under control in fields which * have been poisoned. Untreated fields vary with infestation quite high in some and not so high in others, according to E. M. Stall ings, County Agent. The agent reports the follow ing finding.*; this week: Four fields which were check ed had been poisoned twice each and showed 3, ^ zero and zero percent squares punctured re^ spectively. One field which had been poisoned once had 9% punc tured. Three untreated fields, each ad joining one of the above treat ed fields, showed 25, 27 and 6% of squares punctured respectively. All fields checked show an av erage of 1% punctured squares in fields treated twice, 9% in the fields treated once and 19 in un treated fields. The agent makes the following observation and recommendations: X From this weeks survey „ it \ seems that two or thn^lhreai aments 6-7 days apart will brinj: ihe average field under good con^ irol. For fields untreate4 to date these treatments should be started as as the percent of ,MUares puni^ed:;jreatdies 10% a?^ con tinue^ uiatiltt^ % goes Iglow 5 plication should’ be made ea time the count reaches 10% or more. It is advisable for each farmer to make counts of , his fields each , week to determine the percent of punctured squares, so he wil know whether to treat or not that week. Notice These counts are made by walk ing . diagonally across the entire field pulling 100 squares. One third of the squares should be pull ed from the top third ojL thej plants, one third from the middle and one third from near the bot tom of the plants. The number showing boll weevil punctures is the percent. • The News - Journal, for once, will take a holiday.

Herbert, Manager of the Fayetteville Social Security office, pointed out today that World War II veterans who served in active military or naval service on or after September 16, 1940 and be fore July 25, 1947 now receive credits in the' social security re cords for wages of $160 for each month of war service. Since these credits may be given whether or not the veteran died in service or after discharge, survivors in many cases where payments were not possible under the old law, will now be eligible for monthly bene fits because of these new service- connected wage credits. Mr. Herbert stated that depen dent parents of World War II veterans in cases where the $160 military service wage credits pro vision is applicable must file proof of dependency and support before July 1, 1951, or within two years after the veteran’s death, which ever is later. Exan{ple: Victor was killed in 1944 while in active service. His wage credits for World War II service gave him a fully insurec Status. His father and mother, who are *55 and 5® r^ectively chiefly supported by 'Victor at itlnii isrf "^bis deallri' havb through JUNE 30, 1951 to file proof of suport. Mr. Herbert emphasized the importance of parents who receiv ed at least one-half of their sup port from World Wkr II veteran at time of his death contacting his office immediately to file proof of support prior to July 1, 1951 This applies regardless of par ent’s age, as monthly benefits at age 64 cannot be paid to a de pendent parent who failed to file 'proof of support not later than June 30,1951, or within two years ity Policemen (aid Bolton’s And ’ind 21 Pints Police Chief Harry Dees and Policeman Clifford McJ^eill and Walker Stanton armed themselves with a search warrant from the mayor last Wednesday and paid a visit to Bolton’s place, a filling station in the south edge of town on the Laurinburg road. They ar rived at about four o’clock in the afternoon. They report that they found 21 pints of tax-paid liquor under a loose board in the floor behind the counter. They indicted William C. Lewis, white, who works there, and Robert Bolton, with violating the prohibition laws by having a quantity of liquor for purpose of sale.

Mc Nair Smith, attorney for the de fendants, asked for a dismissal on the grounds that the place be longed to Mrs. Robert Bolton.

The following letter was re ceived from one of the colored schools in the county: Shannon, N. June 5, 1951 Dear Mr. MacDonald, We, as teachers and pupils of the Shady Grove School would like to e.xpress our appreciation for the service that the Bookmo bile gave us.

Universal Training Act Gives Students Until Year’s End The provisions permitting stur dents to attend college under^ the Universal Xrgjjlnuig, -and. S^vice Act signed by resident Truman on Jtme 19, have been forwarded to Presbyterian Junior College by United States Commissioner of Education Earl J. McGrath. The new law states that “Any person who, while satisfactorily pursuing a full-time course of instruction at a college, university or similar institution is ordered to report for induction under this title, ihi]], upon ttie facts being presented to the local board, be deferred (a) until the end of such academic year, or (b) imtil he ceases satisfactorily to pursue such course of instruction, which- evOT is the earlier.** Although the term “such aca demic year’* is used in both the old and new laws, the legislative history of the two laws changes its meaning. Under the ol3 law, a college student, when called up for service while he was satis factorily pursuing a full-time course of. instruction, would nor mally have his induction post poned until the end of his insti tution’s academic year, which nor mally meant in May or June. Under the new law, according to the Conference Report on the Act, “College students may be deferred until they complete their academic year.” (“Their” is not underlined in the Conference Re port.) This would mean that a student entering in mid-year will, so long as he fulfills the requirements of the law, be de ferred until the following mid year rather than until the end of the institution’s academic year. A student entering in the summer session or at any other time dur ing the calendar year will pre sumably be deferable until he has completed his academic year. It will be noted, however, that he must pusue a full-time course of instruction throughout his academ ic year to be eligible for deferment The new law further states that any person who is or has been deferred to complete an academic year “shall not be further defer red by reason of pursuit of a course of instruction at a college, university, or similar institution of learning except as may be pro- vded by regulations prescribed by the President . . .” However, it should be noted that a student who has been deferred under this statutory provision may obtain de- (Continued oh back page) ‘ J.

The Raeford Fire Department really got the runaround Tuesday night during the electrical and rain storm. The fire alarm went off three times during the early even ing and each time the volunteers faithfully ran to their posts and charged out with the equipment, each time to find no fire.

The Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company is spending more than $60,000 to improve and expand its facilities in Rae ford, it was learned today from W. E. Marshall, Fayetteville Me ager for the Company. Included in the extension pro ject will be enlargement of the central office installation of much new central office equipment, ex tension of cable facilities in sev eral sections of town, and redis tribution of existing faciljties. In the central office, where ad ditional space has been obtained, old and worn dial equipment wiR be replaced by modern types, and additional modem equipment wUl be added to increase the capacity of the office by about 25%. The expansion of outside facilities, cable and open wire,.will furnish line! frcsni the central office to both North and South Raeford where recent extensive growth has greatly increased the need for telephone service. Redistribution of outside facilities in other sec tions of town will provide more and better service also. It is es timated by the Company that the cost of this outside work alone will exceed $43,000. It was pointed out by Mr. Mar shall, the Fayetteville Manager, that the need for this expaosibo was brought about by the growth of the town. Since "World War U, he stated, the number of tele phones in Raeford has nearly doubled and the demand for ser vice is stiU growing. , “The Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company has 583 tele phones in Raeford today where in 1945 there were only 298. We are making every effort to meet the full telephone service needs as soon as possible. The current im provement and expansion program is a major step in that direction,” Mr. MarshaU said. Mr. Marshall also explained that some of the trouble and de lay recently experienced by Rae ford subscribers in making long distance calls bad been due-to- the changeover to the new building and new long distance facilities in Fayetteville. He said that ope rators had had to start using a new system which would gra dually greatly improve the service, but which at first while they were unfamiliar with it was causing some dfficulty.
