unty tobacco, tomato and corn
growers suffer a big loss each
year form wlraworms and cut
worms. For leas thsn six
dollars per acre this damage
can be nearly eliminated. To
save this much In the crop
would only require five
bushels of corn or two
bushels of tomfttoei or aim
pounds of Bur ley tobacco.
Aidrtn Is one of the chon
lcals that controls wlraworms
sod cutworms. The wire
worm can be controlled for
at least two years wlthaldrln.
Tow poinds of actual
aldrln Is used per sere. To
apply this amount, 40 pounds of
6 percent grsnular al-'rln Is
brosdesst per acre. For best
results the chemical la broad
cast with a cyclone seeder snd
disked in to the soil at least
10 days before planting. The
reason for doing this is to
kill the Insects prior to plant

Let roe begin by saylnt ?
I sincerely hope that each of
you hu had a Happy Easter.
The i usitiar hu been beautif
ul and I have been very happy
to have spent (his war ken d in
my home sod among my
people. I saw and chatted with
many of you In Murphy and
Andrews on Saturday. Altoug
gh the people In Raleigh are
gracious and kind to me, It
was wonderful to be here.
First. I should like to speak
to you concerning the "Special
Message On Traffic Safety"
which Governor Moore del
ivered to the General Assem
bly on Wectaesday, April M.
He pointed out his grave con
cern that during the year just
past that one thousand, five
hundred, seventy six human
beings were killed on our
highways. There were forty
nine thousand people injured.
Besides the tragedy of all
this, the economic loss was
about eltht hundred thousand
dollars a day.
Our highway deaths have
increased twenty five per cent
within the past four years
with only eighteen per cent
more cars on the raod. Now,
I do think the picture he pain
ted to us is both tragic and
shocking. In order to cut down
on the deaths and injuries on
our highways - Governor
Moore proposed a seven pro
nged program. Let me list
these seven phases: (1) Co
operative action of highway
engineering, (2) driver lices
slng and examination, (3) law
enforcement, (4) driver ed
ucation, (5) driver im
provement, (6) motor vehicle
inspection, and (7) research
and the administration of
justice.
I am certainly concerned
with reducing accidents and
deaths on our highways as I
know each of you are. Need
less to say, I have studied
Governor Moore's speech
carefully which contained a
great deal more than I have
been able to give you in this
brief period. However, in
studying each of the seven
steps in his program, I am
a little concerned with his
auto inspection plan. The bill
provides for inspection of
brakes, lights, steering mech
anism, horn, windshield
wipers, tires and directional
signals. The Inspection stat
ions would be checked on a
regular basis and complaints
from car owners would be
| investigated and corrected
promptly.
Cars falling to meet the
standards could be repaired
at the firm of the owners
choice and would be re-in
spected free of charge. Cost
of inspection would be 11.50
with 26* going to the Sute
to make the program pay for
Itself. There would be one
inspection of your car each
and inspection dates will
itaggered throughout six
months so that only one sixth
of the sates vehicles would
be inspected in any one month.
Now friends, ftopresentat
vle Wiley McGlamery of Clay
County and I would like you
help. Please, study these pro
posals carefully and then let
the Cherokee Scout know how

you feel, for Representative
McGlamery of Clay and I as
Representative of Cherokee
want to do the right thing and
the best thing so far as this
vehicle inspection bill Is con
cerned. After you have studied
It and thought it over care
fully, If you are still opposed
to It please let me know. If
you would like to give it a
try say so, for this bill will
affect us all and I thiiA you
should have the opportunity to
express your honest opinion
on it.
Governor Moore also sugg
ests using Reflectorized
Plates, outside mirrors, and
seat belts in both seats which
1 believe will help. I also
think the three hundred thirty
three additional patrol men
which he says we need now
will help a great deal. He
suggests we add fifty patrol
men each year for the next
four years. ,
To my way of thinking if
we can get more patrolmen
out on the highways, this one
thing will do more to cut
down fast driving, drunken
and careless driving than any
thing else.
There are two other bills
which I want to bring to your
attention. One is a bill which
I Introduced in the House about
a week ago. This bill asks
for an appropiation for 96,000
for Archeologlcal research,
study and planning in prep
aration for the restoration of
Fort Butler right here In
Murphy. As many of you know,
Fort Butler is an historic
site of great significance to
our area. If we can obtain
the necessary funds for our
research and planning, I feel
sure we can finally get this
Fort restored. Not only would
it preserve a part of our
history for present and future
generations but would serve
as the first step in a long
range plan to draw tourists
to our county and hold them
for a few days. A musuem of
Indian Arts and a collection
of items used by them and
Polneers of this area would,
no doubt, serve to bring in
quite a bit of revenue for our
citizens. I think a few craft
shops or stalls located in this
area would also add to the
Interest as well as the revenue
of the project.
I appeared Friday afternoon
before the Historic Sites Com
mittee to ask approval of Fort
Butler as an historic site;
for it must be approved by
them before the Genreal
Assembly Acts. I shall await
their anewer with interest.
They seemed interested and
appeared to like my presen
tation. I shall keep you In
formed of the progress of
this bill.
Another bill which I co
signed is known as the Pulp
wood or Wood haulers Bill.
It was introduced in the House
this week by Representative
Greenwood of Buncombe Co
unty. I was happy to be able
to Co-sign this bill and will
work for its passage.
Briefly, it would reduce the
liceane plate charges for wood
haulers by fifty per cent with
a limit of one such wood
hauler tag to any one indiv
idual. For trucks 19 to thirty
thousand pounds gross weight
the charge is four hundred
twenty dollars per year now. A
vehicle weighing twenty tho
usand pounds gross weight
requires a plate costing two
hundred dollars. Most of the
wood haulers travel over the
roughtest kind of roads -many
of them on private lands. Con
sequently these trucks wear
out quickly. The high cost of
the trucks and the excessive
cost of the tags works a real
hardship on the woodhaulers
who work so hard to make a
living. If we could get this
bill passed it would give the
mountain people some much
needed relief.

FOR WANT OF A SPRING
There's in old saying that
begins, "For want of a nail
the shoe was lost . . .** and
ends with the loss of an entire
kingdom. It serves to point
up the Importance of a single
horsehoes nail, and It under
scores the importance of
thoroughness in checking your
boat over before the season
begins, and at regualr inter
vals during the season.
A good example of how a
seemingly unimportant part
oa a complex machine, or even
of a simple piece of equip -
'ment, can become important
can be seen in the aluminum
Hustler, the jet speedboat that
Is being readied for a crack
at the world water speed title.
The Hustler, you'll recall,
crashed last April on the
Colorado River with Lee
Taylor aboard. The mishap
put Taylor on the critical
list for a long time. Both are
mending nicely and Taylor
comments: "I'm in the home
stretch and I'd like to be
back at the controls as soon
as possible."
Taylor and the aluminum
riustelr, designed by Rich
Hallett oi the West Coast, were
scheduled to test (he boat at
speed of about 126 mph a year
ago. Experts watching these
first speed trials noted that
when Taylor turned on too
much power and began plan
3;, there was no running room
t after he shut down the
powerful J -46 turbojet engine.
The boat hit the beach at
something in the neighborhood
of 300 mph.
In disassembling the boat
during the technical inspection
after the cradt, engineers dis
covered one possible reason
for the crash. As Imply 49
cent spring in the throttle
linkage failed, resulting In a
delayed shut-down of the
engine power after the thro
ttle had been returned
manually by Taylor to the
"off" position. A simple hard
ware store type spring had
nearly cost the life of Lee
Taylor.
Now, to be sure, none of
us expects to be pushing his
runabout into the 200 -mph
class. That's not the point.
Even at 25 mph, the failure

of one small part can put
you or any boat operator in
a rather sticky postionltmay
be only a 49-cent spring, but
the results could be costly.
Just ask Lee Taylor.
A reminder for all boat
owners: If you haven't obtained
a capacity plate from your
dealer for your boar, be sure
you do before you start haul
ing people around this season.
These are small metal plates
that clearly states the capacity
of your boat in terms of num
bers of average weight
persons, total weight including
gear, and the maximum horse
power of your boat. It helps
to convince people that one
more person aboard, even
though there is room , would
make the craft unsafe. Most
dealers are making them ava
ilable to their customers, and
the dealer has the Information
about rating your boat if you
don't have the manufacturer's
data anymore. Why not get one
today?
