Jan. 4. on WUNC-TV, Channel 4. World War I became a reality to Great Britain. The Bellamy family on Masterpiece Theater's new series of "Upstairs-Downstairs" programs sheltered a family of Belgian refugees who had fled across the English Channel to escape the German army. People who were watching the program were caught up in what war can actually mean to a populace experiencing it on their home territory. The United States, of course, is the only one of the great powers which has never had to face a foreign invasion on its own soil since its separation from Great Britain two hundred years ago. What would we do today if war struck our country? The first tendency would be to panic, and many unnecessary lives would be lost. Many people in Hoke County and across the nation have long been working hard to make real istic plans to avert as much tragedy as possible. A manual entitled HOKE COUNTY CIVIL PREPARED NESS EMERGENCY OPERA TIONS PLAN FOR WAR was updated and reissued in December of 1975. Publicity on this new version has recently appeared in The News-Journal. The purpose of this article is to announce that copies of this plan have been brought to the Hoke County Public Library by William T. Niven, Civil Preparedness Co ordinator, in hopes that informa tion contained in it can be made available to as many citizens as possible. Among the many items outlined are medical and health plans, locations of fallout shelters which have been set up and equipped. and an explanation of the laws and ordinances enacted by the state, county and city to define such activities. Also bound as a part ot the manual is the 1971 special t supplement to The News-Journal in which a short, concise article describes what each individual should plan to take to a fallout shelter. Long-range plans for after attack conditions are also a part of the manual, which takes all county agencies into consideration from the local volunteer fire departments to the county Department of Social Services. This is not a morbid effort intended to scare. To take the possibility of this great tragedy in hand, to decide logically what can be done to alleviate as much of the harm as possible, and to lay realistic plans of action: all are intended and accomplished. Check it out at your Hoke County Public Library. BOOKMOBILE SCHEDULE Wayside - Jan. 27 Mrs. Alona McNeill. Mrs. Cleva Newton. Mrs. Lois Woodring, Mrs. Louise Plummer.

GRAPEFRUIT SPECIALS Just when winter appetites long for the taste of fresh fruits - the grapefruit comes in market in its prime. So next time you're in the produce section of your favorite store, browse around - and you're sure to find grapefruit galore -- in white and in pink and in red. And you'll find in labeled "seedless" and "seeded." Although grapefruit is in good supply, you'll still want to select fruit that will taste tangy and juicy. So here are some shopping hints. Look for firm, well-shaped grapefruits. Thin-skinned ones have more juice than coarse skinned grapefruits. Keep in mind that a grapefruit that is pointed at the stem end is likely to thick-skinned. Also, a rough, ridged or- wrinkled skin might be an indication of thick skin, pulpiness and lack of juice. Skin discolorations -- such as scales, scars, thorn scratches or discoloration -- seldom affect eating quality of a grapefruit. But you will want to steer clear of grapefruit that show signs of decay - such as soft and discolored areas, water soaked areas, loss of bright color, or a soft and tender peel that breaks easily with finger pressure. There's at least one other good thing I can say about grapefruit. Since it's picked tree ripe, it's ready to eat as soon as you get it home. STORING NUTS Last year was a good year for many crops -? including nuts. So as you shop, you should find many good sales on nuts. Now if you happen to over-buy. here's a reminder. Nuts store well -- if you can keep them in a place that's dark, cold, and fairly dry. That could mean the freeeer. refrigerator, or even a cupboard that's cool from being on an outside wall. However, if you have a choice -? the freezer is probably the best place to store nuts -- especially if you're going to hold them for a long period of time. And the good news is that nuts do freeze well. Of course, nuts that are left in the shell will store better than shelled nuts. But many processors do treat shelled nuts with an anti oxident - that will help keep them from turning rancid. If you do freeze nuts for future use -- be sure to store them in air tight containers. Otherwise, they might lose their quality -- and you wouldn't want that to happen. OIJJLST STOCKHOLDER - Chairman of the Hoard of The Bank ofRacford, J.I.. McNeill and G.B. Rowland. the oldest stockholder at The Bank ofRacford are shown at a stockholder's meeting Tuesday. Farm Items B) Hoke County Agricultural Extension Agents A Landscape Maintenance Short Course has been planned for Feb. 3 and 4, 197b at the Wayne Agricultural Center in Goldsboro. N.C. This course will be beneficial for people employed for landscape maintenance in parks, city streets and around buildings. These people may be employed by city, county, state or federal agencies, golf courses, apartment complexes, memorial gardens, industrial com panies. individuals privately em ployed in the landscape mainte nance business. Subjects will include irrigation, soils, use of chemicals, pruning and maintenance of trees and shrubs, plant selection and use, equipment maintenance and safety and insect and disease control. Registration will start at 9:30 A.M. on the first day and the conference w ill conclude at noon on the second day. Weeds in small grain reduce the yield and quality. Now is the time to plan your program to insure weed free small grain fields. The grain should be treated in the fully tillered stage but before it begins to joint. The grain is usually four to eight inches tall and late February is ideal. Banvel K. or 2-4.D Amine are two chemicals that give good results and can be mixed with liquid nitrogen. Best results are obtained when the day temperature is above 50 degrees F. Banvel is noi registered for use on rye. Wild garlic and onions are best con trolled bv the use of Low-Volatile esters of 2.4-D. You must be very careful with its use. To date no satisfactory method of controlling ryegrass in small grains has been developed for North Carolina. Recently some small grain production leaflets have been published and they are available from the Extension office. If you are planning to build something, there is a good chance that the Extension Service has a plan that might help you. These plans are free if they are useful to you. I hey include livestock facili ties. general purpose sheds and barns, many other types of plans and also most any type of house plans. Extension personnel have had some training in the use of these plans and also are able to secure Engineering Specialists, if additional help is needed. Weather stripping around doors and windows that rattle on windy days will not only make your house more comfortable, it can prevent as much as 25% of your current heat loss. It will reduce the drafts to a minimum. Are your roof shingles dry and beginning to curl? Curled com position shingles can be cemented and nailed down. Any holes should be filled with asphalt cement. If some of the shingles are torn or gone, they must be replaced. Constant maintenance of gutters and dow nspouts can prevent w ater damage to walls. Water repellent flashing will add years to the life of the roof. Keep gutters, downspouts and drains unclogged so water can run off the house. Wake Up A LRicher Every Pay IT'S EASY TO DO. ..
