Announcements of the new occupational courses. Civil engineering Technology and Architectural Engineering lecluiology, was made this week by Dr. James J. Altendorf, dean of instruction at Sandhills College, and Henry I. Kahn, chairman of the department of technical vocational education. The two programs are being established at Sandhills tollowing an intensive study of the personnel needs of the area and state, Rahn said. According to a recently published compilation of job opportunities anticipated in , 7?.'. 2,242 engineering technicians will be needed in North Carolina. The survey was made by several state and national agencies including the Bureau of Employment Security of. the U. S. Department of Labor, the N. C. State Board of Education, the N. C. Department of Community Colleges, the Employment Security Commission of N. C. and the N. C. Bureau of Employment Security Research. Sandhills College olTioials spent several months developing the curriculum for the new programs. They have been assisted in the planning by a local advisory committee of experts in the Tield of engineering including W. Calvin Howell and John F. Faulk architects of Southern Pines: Hubert L.

Sandhills Choral Society To Present Program Sunday At Piney Grove Church "The Seven Last Words ol Christ" will be presented Sunday at 5 p. m. at Pines Grove Missionary Baptisi Church by the Sandhills Chora Society. The Rev. Thoma! Walker is pastor of the church The Society was formed ir 1961. However, one yeai earlier, Russell McAllister, Jr.. Minister of Music for the Pine) Grove Missionary Baptis Church of Reeford, ant presently director of thi Society, decided to do something out of the realm o ordinary church music. Armet with the belief that all thing are possible, he set out to dt The Seven Last Words o Christ. There was not a musiciai within the local church tha could accompany the choir Walter L. Green, Jr.. Ministe of Music for the St. Johi Baptist Chuich of Aberdeei and the Spring Branch Baptis Church of Wagram. wa contacted and he consented ti serve as accompanist. Thus wa born a partnership that ha grown stronger as the Societ; grows older. The first presentation o "The Seven Last Words o Christ" was accepted with sucl enthusiasm that the origins group decided to expand am make the presentation ai annual affair. People from th churches in the surroundin counties were invited to joir With the group no longer th Pinev Grove Baptist Churc Choir, a new name had to b found. Thus was born i January 1961 The Sandhill Choral Society. Aside from the annul presentation of the Seven Lai Words on Palm Sunday, th Society has given concerts c sacred music in many of th surrounding cities and town! They provided the music fr the dedication of buildings an grounds at the Sandlul Community College Aftc their performance there, D Raymond A. Stone, presider of the college wrote, "I ha\ heard nothing but the highe: of compliments of the superb performances of this choral group. What an asset to the community." The membership of 'the society has been as high as forty and as low as twenty. At the present time, there are twenty- three active members. The participants' ages span more than thirty years, and there occupations are a mixture of students, teachers, housewives, semi ? professional and professional personnel. Participation in the choral society is voluntary and membership is open to everyone. The director, Russell McAllister. Jr., of Raeford and the accompanist. Walter L. Green, Jr., of McCain, are both graduates of North Carolina Central University (formerly North Carolina College at Durham) but neither majored in music. Both seem to have God ? given talents in the field of music, and both seem bent on using their talents to spread God's message through the medium of music. Cuke Growers Can Choose Between 2 New Herbicides Help is available to North Carolina cucumber growers this spring in their annual battle with grasses and weeds. Two recently approved chemical materials have given good results in tests conducted by the Extension Service at North Carolina State University. Dr. Wall Skroch, extension horticulture specialist, said bensulide (Pro far) and nitralin (Planavin) "did a good job on grasses and on some of the broadleaf weeds." He added, "I think farmers can use either of these materials on cucumbers (his year with good results." However, he emphasized that neither bensulide nor nitralin provides total control. "They knock out the grasses very well, but the control is not as complete on the broadleaf weeds. Farmers will still need to use mechanical methods if they want to get all the weeds." The herbicides were tested on plantings of several cucumber varieties last year at 10 locations in the commercial cuke growing area of the state Control was commerically acceptable at all locations. The bensulide was shown ti be completely safe in that nt stunting of the cuke plant wa; noted. Nitralin resulted in some plant damage where water stood on the row. "Th< row must be raised where thi: material is used," Dr. Skroch said. Nitralin is much less expensive than bensulide. In further comparison of the two materials, nitralin is applied after the cucumbers are planted. Bensulide is used as a pre ? plant herbicide. Dr. Skroch commented that cuke growers probably will want to consider usirtg a herbicide where hand labor ~ isn't available or its cost prohibitive. "Either one of the two herbicides can help," he said. "But they should not be relied upon for complete control." County extension agents can help answer questions growers may have regarding use of herbicides on cucumbers. Rotate Corn For Billbug Control Corn growers can do the best job of controlling billbugs belmc the crop is planted. Most of the serious damage done by this pest occurs where corn follows corn in rotation. So the best way to avoid damage is to rotate corn with other crops. Billbugs are described as "snout beetles or weevils" by Dr. John Falter, extension entomologist at North Carolina State University. They resemble other common relatives like the cotton boll weevil. There are at least three species that attack corn. The primary injury to the corn seedling is caused by the adult feeding at the base of the stalk or just below the soil surface. They pierce the stalk with their beaks and feed on the tender inner tissue. This causes the bud leaves to wilt and die. On larger plants, leaf feeding becomes obvious as the leaves extend and unroll. Rows of holes across the leaf can be seen. Dr. Falter said severe bud damage causes many plants to die while others send up suckers or arc stunted. Often, these abnormal plants have billbug larvae feeding inside the stalk. However, grubs are often found in normal appearing stalks. The larval feeding within the stalk is usually not serious. Two methods of control arc suggested: 1. Rotate corn with other crops. This is the cheepest and best method of control. The billbug crawls to reach new fields from an infected field. He can crawl about a quarter mile. 2. Where crop rotation is impractical, chemical control of the adult billbug by soil application of recommended chemicals is possible. County extension agents can advise farmers on types of chemicals that can be used for this purpose and describe the most effective method of application.
