Clark, District Conservationist A new booklet showing good and bad practices on construction sites and other earth ? disturbing activities has been published and is.now available through Soil Conservation Service offices in North Carolina, it was disclosed today by State Conservationist Jesse L. Hicks of Raleigh. The booklet is entitled "Knvironmental Do's and Don'ts on Construction Sites." Aimed primarily at contractors and public officials who deal with control of erosion and sedimentation, it consists mainly of sketches illustrating favorable and unfavorable practices. "This publication will be useful information for heavy equipment operators and others, even though it is rather simplified in its apprach. It can serve as a companion publication to our more detailed book on engineering practices, the Guide for Sediment Control on Construction Sites in North Carolina," Jesse Hicks commented. Some of the recommended practices illustrated include preservation of vegetation, use of sediment basins, use of mulch or hydroseeding, preservation of trees in rural areas, property protection and screening of areas where earth-disturbing activities are carried out. "A limited number of copies of this useful book-Miscellaneous Publication 1291, Soil Conservation Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture ~ have been provided to SCS offices and local soil and water conservation districts," Mr. Hicks said.

(Matthew 28:20) Jenny King sold flowers. She had her stand at the heart of a busy junction in Belfast. Though she was a simple woman, dressed in the style of the day and with a shoulder shawl, she became famous. She had been painted by a famous painter, and her flowers had been received by royalty. It was her simple philosophy of life that I remember best. One day in the midst of the city's rush, I stopped by for a chat. One of her family was soon to leave for Australia. "Ah, well," she replied, "it's the same God there as we have here. It's a low bush that the sun never shines on, and he's bad that can't mend." In her simple philosophy, she had summed up the whole gospel and given me three great truths of our religion ?God's presence everywhere *God's providence and His care for everybody ?the evangel of Christ, whose redemption is fully offered to everybody. PRAYER: 0 God, our Father, help us this day to know Thou art with us and with all whom we love everywhere. We pray that the redeeming power and love of Christ may find welcome,In the hearts of ill persons. In his name. Amen. THE THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God is never far away, but He ii always closer when we pray. - copyright - THE UPPER ROOM - T.
