IN Bl.OOM - The unseasonable warm weather and sunnv days have brought spring color into Raeford yards, as. trees are in bloom, along with bright daffodils. FOREST FIRE? North Raeford firemen were called out last Wednesday shortly after noon to battle a timherland blaze about five miles west on Hwy. 211. The low humidity and near-NO degree temperature combined to fan the blaze over several acres. EXPANSION The Hwy 401 side of the high school is taking on a new bok as the expansion to the vocational shops and classrooms is rapidly nearing completion. SHOW ENTR Y - ? Raeford artist Lynn Padrick will have this acrylic shown here, "My Grandmother 's House'. along with two other works in the 14th Annual Lower Cape Fear A rt Exhibition at UNC- Wilmington. ' Key To Successful Painting By Willie Fcatbenlooc, Jr. Ant. Agricultural Agent With the beginning of Spring only a few days away many families will be repainting exterior portions of their homes. The key to a successful finish is proper prepa ration and the use of quality paint and brushes. Clean Surface -? The basic requirements of a surface to be painted are that it must be clean, dry and free of all loose or sealing paint, heavy chalk or crumbling masonry surface by wire brushing. To Remove MiWew Apply a mixture of bleach detergent (H cup of trisodium phosphate, such as Soilex '/i cup of non - ammoiniated heavy duty washing machine de tergent, one quart of household bleach and enough water to make a gallon) until discoloration dis appears and then rinse thoroughly. Moisture Problems -? If paint is peeling because of moisture, merely scaping or removing the paint is not sufficient preparation for painting. Find the cause, cure it and then prepare the surface. Replace win dow putty. Caulk all cracks and repair leaking gutters, flashing and drip caps, wnerever moisture may be entering the structure. It'there is general peeling near the ground, the siding is probably in contact with the soil. The first step in correcting this is to get the water away from the house by grading, so the ground slopes away from the house or by installation of drain tile. Be sure that the paint is applied to edges. This is only 3 general over view of some of the things to be done in preparation for exterior painting. For any question you may have in regard to your particular problems, contact your County Extension Service - phone 875-3461. TOUeUife % I ^ ;vi . WivmM,,., By Jim Dean N C WMlif* RMOurcn Commwion The novelist John Buchan cap tured at least part of the essence of fishing when he wrote that "The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope." Perhaps one could say the same thing about shooting craps or playing serious five - card stud with unsmiling strangers. The fishermen is, after all, something of a gambler. Each trip, the angler faces uncertain odds as fate shuffles such factors as weather, water conditions, feeding intervals and myriad other inscrutable causes of success or failure. And yet, with each deal of the cards, each trip to the water, the payoff is "elusive but attainable." It is no accident. I suspect, that poker is often played on the kitchen table on weekend fishing trips after the supper dishes are stacked in the sink and the rods are leaning in the corner. But to simply say that gambling is the basic appeal to fishing leaves many questions unanswered. Why spend a fortune for fishing tackle if gambling is all you're after? No. obviously there is more. At least two other elements are important. One is that fishing is a form of escape. It gives you a rare opportunity to break out of a rut ? however briefly - and pursue something that has little or no social or economic significance. But. you might say, what about people who fish to catch something to eat? And what about pro fessional bass fishermen who fish for money? Quite frankly. I doubt if people can afford to fish for their supper anymore, if in fact they ever could. Even using a cane pole and worms, you won't come out ahead if you consider the time spent at so many dollars per hour. Fishing for food is largely an excuse to fish for fun. It's a form of escape. The pro bass fisherman is another matter, and yet even he is not likely to tell you that he wins enough money to break even when all things are considered. We may call him a commercial fisherman, but 1 suspect the gambling and competition aspects are more im portant than the cash. And for some, tournament fishing is fun. For all. it's a form of escape. There is another important factor, it seems to me, and it bites deep into the psyche of man the animal. Fishing for sport or fun - as opposed to pure commercial fishing - did not begin to win converts until mankind began to back away from nature/He became more civilized, had more leisure time, became involved in lite that had no relation to his basic animal instincts. One of the strongest instincts of all animals, including man. is to hunt, and fishing is a form of hunting. Once man had neglected his instincts by necessity, he began to pursue them in many types of games. The more removed from nature man became, the stronger his urge to return in some capacity. While I could very well be wrong, 1 believe that the reason fishing and hunting for sport have grown in popularity so much over the past several hundred years can be traced to the increasing separation of man the animal from his true native habitat - the woods, fields and streams. Instinct calls him back, and he goes with a fishing rod. a gun, a camera or a butterfly net. And while there, he renews the ancient bond with wilderness, rejoices in his momentary escape and takes delight in "a perpetual series of occasions for hope."
