Federal Courts Refuse To Crack
Down On Crime
WASHINGTON - C ime con
tinues to rise because federal
courts refuse tj crack down on
it, U. S. Rep. Roy A. Tayl r
charged in a House s peech June
26 in supp rt of stiffer legisla
tion to c ntrol rampaging c.ime
in Washingt n, D. C.
“It gives me no pleasure to
say it is my sincere belief that
one basic reas n we have so
much c ime in the c untry to
day is the failure of the federal
c urts to protect the life and
property rs the average Ameri
can citizen”, the Congressman
declared.
While economic and sociol gi
cal reas ns may be used to ex
pla n part of the p- blem Taylor
observed that in their z-al to
protect individual rights, fede-al
courts have handcuffed law en
forcement rffcers.
Taylor said:
“The cr'minal has I ng since
received all of the protection to
wh : ch he is entitled under the
Conrtituti n. Now is the time to
pr tect the c nstitutional rights
of the law-abiding citizen.
“In decision after decision
since World War II the federal
courts have seriously weakened
the whole structure (f Ameri
can criminal law in an attempt
to protect the const'tutional
rights of the person accused of
crime.
“Federal c'urt decisions have
shattered legal precedents, have
annulled state laws, and have
declared void state court decis
ions. What has resulted is a
legal jungle wherein. lawy°rs and

Europeans, a red floribunda;
Miss All-American Beauty, a
pink hybrid tea; and Scarlet
Knight, a scarlet grandiflora,
are the All-America Rose Selec
tions for 1968.
Europeans has excellent flow
er color and form, vigorous
plant growth and blooms almost
continually throughout the grow
ing season. The plant is low,
compact and well-shaped. The
flowers are borne in large clus
ters of clear, satiny red and
hold their color well in virtually
all kinds of weather. This vari
ety id reported to be especially
well adapted for landscaping
and bedding. As a cut flower
-pray, it lasts well when placed
in the heme.
In addition to winning the All-
America award for 1968, it has
also won seven other awards,
including four gold medals in
international competition.
Miss All-American Beauty
features a vibrant pink color
which is reported to be espec
ially attractive and a new shade
in pink types. The flowers are
fully double and are of excellent
substance. The stems are med
ium long and sturdy, pro ducing
flowers up to five inches across.
The plant has good vigor and
grows to a height of approxima
tely four feet under good condi
tions. In addition to good growth
habit and bloom quality, the
flowers have a rich, heady tea
fragrance.
Scarlet" “Knight is an eye-cat
ching, velvety scarlet red that
does not “blue” as it ages.
“The well-shaped buds open
from a deep, black-red to blooms
of classic high centered form,
four to five inches across and
of great brilliance.”
The blossoms are usually
borne |wo or three to a stem,
with an occasional solitary
bloom. It is reported to be a
prolific bloomer.
The plant is medium tall with
good upright growth habit, at
tractive bronze-green foliage
and rugged disease resistance.

THE YANCEY RECORD
Vietnam
Veterans To
Receive College
Checks
Checks for more than 200,000
veterans who will attend college
next fall under the new GI Bill
for Vietnam veterans will arrive
about ten days earlier each mon
th because of an improved sys
tem adopted by the Veterans
Administration.
W. R. Phillips, Manager of the
Winston Salem VA Regional Of
fice, said that under the previous
system, recipients of the checks
had to tell the Veterans Admin
traticn each month of their en
rollment status, changes in their
studies and number of hours at
tended. A card for this purpose
was enclosed with each check
with instructions for the veteran
student to complete it and re
turn it to the appropriate VA
office at the end of the month.
The need to process the cards
before the next check was mail
ed caused the checks to arrive
about the 20th of the month.
Phillips said future checks
will normally arrive about the
10th of the month. The 10-day
speed-up results from dropping
the requirement for monthly
certification.
Now a veteran who is attend
ing a regular course at an ap
proved college or university cer
tifies his attendance at the be
ginning of the school year.
Checks continue as long as he
continues in regular attendance
or until his eligibility expires.
The additional certifications re
quired are handled independ
ently of the checks.

Poor Lawn /Nay
Stem From Lack
Os Fertiliser
How does y.ur lawn “measure
up”? Does it enhance, or de
tract from the general appear
ance of y.ur h me? If you do
not have an att. active, thick
lawn the trouble may stem from
lack of lime and fertilizer.
Lawns, just as field crops, have
definite lime and fertilzsr re
qu rements and these needs are
n t supp’ied by the natural abi
lity of our soils, accord ng to Mr.
E. L. Dil ingham, County Ex
tension Chairman.
Acid soils, or soils low in pH,
are a major contributing factor
to poor lawn growth. Many of
the difficulties encountered in
attempting to establish a satis
factory lawn result directly or
indirectly from soil acidity. The
low pH can cause an essential
nutrient such as phosphorus to
become “unavailable" to the
grass, and at the same time an
element such as aluminum may
become toxic. Acid soils also
provide a more favorable en
vironment for disease organisms
and weaken the "resistance" of
the grass to disease
In addition to lime, nitrogen
phosphorus, and potassium are
required in adequate amounts
in order to establish a good
lawn cover. Neglect of the lime
and fertilizzer requirements of
lawn areas leads to sparse and
slow-growing grass, the encroa
chment of undesirable grasses
and weeds, and poor color. Prv-v-"'
per lime and fertilization care
of lawns is based on a soil test.
A soil test will indicate the pre
sent lime and fertility levels of
your soil. Suggested amounts of
lime and fertilizer are given on
the soil test report returned to
you, as well as aoproximate
dates to apply the fertilizer. The
soil test report also provides in
formation on how to apply the
lime and fertilizer for establish
ing lawns and for maintenance
of lawns.
Now is a good time to have
your lawn soil tested if you are
planning to seed a cool season
grass in the fall or if you are
experiencing difficulty with get
ting a satisfactory lawn estab
lished now.
