Board To Vote On Secondary Road Funds This month's meeting of the North Carolina Board of Trans portation is set for Thursday at 2 p.m. at Fontana Dam. During the meeting, the board will be asked to approve $40 million on a county-by-county basis for secondary road construction im provements for the next 12 months. This appropriation was allocated by the 1982 General Assembly and will be expended according to legislative formula. According to State Secretary of Transportation William R. Rober son, Jr., "Without the 1981 Gen eral Assembly's passage of Gov ernor Jim Hunt's 'Good Roads' program, this funding to improve our secondary roads system would not have been available. We are, indeed, appreciative of the General Assembly's decision enabling us to improve and maintain an all weather secondary road network." In another action, board mem bers will consider 16 highway improvement contracts totaling 55. 4 million. Eleven of these calls for resurfacing nearly 175 miles of highway across North Carolina. "Again," Roberson said, "were it not for the Governor's "Good Roads' program, we would not have the necessary funding to implement much-needed resur facing projects across the state." "Almost $80 million is being generated by the 'Good Roads' program specifically for main tenance resurfacing. As a direct result, we anticipate being able to A.A. Meetings Wed. 8 p.m. Nursing Home Dining Room re-pave an estimated 3,300 miles this current fiscal year. This sur passes our original goal of resur facing 2900 miles. To date, our board has awarded contracts to resurface approximately 3,327 miles at a cost of $81.1 million", he said. The transportation board will also vote on several public trans portation projects. One calls for the purchase of buses and benches for Chapel Hill and involves $14,910 in state funds; $14,910 in local monies and $119,280 in federal funding. Another project specifies funding in the amount of $17,521 ($15,769 in state monies and $1,752 in local funds) to hire a transportation coordinator for Transylvania Coun ty Members of the board include: T.G.

Hoke Agricultural Extension News by Willie Featherstone, Jr.. Agricultural Extension Agent PREVENTING WOOD ROT IN HOMES Warm, wet weather makes a lot of things grow faster. One that most people don't think about until it's too late is wood rot. Most homeowners are quite familiar with termites and the damage they cause. However, wood rotting fungi are more likely to damage homes in Hoke County than termites. Fungi can occur in any part of the house that stays moist, and especially in floors, door frames, porches, roof trim and decks. To control rot, a person must get rid of the moisture and allow the wood to dry. Pressure treated wood should be used where moisture can't be eliminated, such as on deck or fence. Spraying wood with preservative chemicals will not control rot when the wood stays moist. Rot commonly occurs when the crawl space under the house is poorly drained and ventilated. A lot of people don't realize the im portance of the small vents around the house at ground level. They must be open from spring through fall, otherwise water can condense on the wood joists causing rot. In addition to good ventilation, a plastic sheet placed on the soil is a relatively cheap and effective way of keeping moisture in the soil and out of the house. Four mil polyethylene can be used to cover about 70 percent of the soil. Check the plastic after a heavy rain to make sure that water doesn't drain on top of the plastic. If that happens, you may have to improve drainage around the house. With polyethene on the soil, you should have at least one vent about every 15 feet around the house. Without the polyethy lene. there should be a vent about every 8 ft. The exact spacing depends on the size of the house and the free air space through the vents.

According to NCSU specialists these are a convenience because you don't have to worry about opening and closing the vents. However, regular vents will do just as good a job providing they are opened. Other suggestions are that you keep gutters and downspouts clear, inspect your house at least once a year for plumbing leaks, evidence of rot, as well as for termites and other insects. In a well built and maintained home, rot will not be a problem. Unfortunately, there seem to be an increasing number of homes that have been either poorly built or poorly maintained. Lack of good building sites and the tightening up of houses for energy conservation are adding to the problem. It's relatively cheap and easy to avoid rot problems if you know what to look for.
