PAG3 TWO THE PESQTJEXA.N3 V7I n.". ;?J), N. C, IT" - nodCci.7.:3:::n OnlllglivsySip The State Highway Commission re cently served notice on sign posters, and all other persons who own, put up or control roadside advertising signs on the highway right of way. In a resolution adopted at the Janu ary meeting of the Commission, any adjacent land-owner who allows or permits an advertising sign to be erected on the highway right of way is now just as responsible as the firm or person who erects the sign. : . The Commission stressed it plans to chase all signs, buildings, and oth er unauthorized intruders off its right of way. Under the new ruling, the owner of a roadside business can be prosecuted when an advertising sign is placed outside his place on highway property, even though he may claim he doesn't own the sign. Formerly, only the advertising firm or the sign board company which own ed and erected the sign was guilty. The Commission already has laws un der which owners of offending signs, gas Dumps and the like can be nrose- cuted for trespassing en its highway right of way. Before the recent ruling making the land-owner jointly responsible was made, the penalty Was limited to $10. Now, that may run as high as the judge thinks wise. Senarate penal ties may be imposed for each day the sign is allowed to stand after it is ordered removed. Also, the Commission said many a Tar Heel has found himself in a hope less situation because he neglected to buy or build on the kind of road he wants. Many people have bought low cost homes in poorly engineered housing developments. They are told that ar rangements have been made for keep ing up the streets. Only later, to the new home-owners learn that the streets are nobody's responsibility. When they come to the nearest high way office with requests that their streets or roads be added to the high way system, all too often their re quests have to be denied. Why? Us ually, because the streets are not binlt to State Highway Commission standards or because at least 60 feet hM nt been set aside for street right v a,. Alien me commission can't take over the streets, even ' if they wished to, because the right of way may be half the width the Commission requires. Lest other Tar Heels stumble into! a onuiiar preaictament, the Commis- sion urgea prospective homo.nan to remember: 1.

' The Commission says the problem could be checked if counties and cities would establish really workable plan ning and development boards. It Is Good Business To Stay In Good Health It's much less expensive to stay- well than to get well. Illness and poor health are expensive for the family, says Virginia Wilson and Jewell Fes senden, State College extension nutri tionists. , Keeping well is no mystery or se cret. It is mostly a matter of good planning, management and practicing a tew common sense rules of health. The ' extension specialists suggest these: Eat three well-balanced meals each day. Wear comfortable and appro priate clothing; practice sanitation; take time for relaxation and recrea tion; avoid strain, fatigue, fear and worry; get the necessary sleep and rest; take advantage of immuniza tions; avoid contacts with contagious diseases; see your dentist twice a year, your physician once a year. "Actually the. health of your fami ly and your community is a national affair. The health of a nation is no stronger than the health of its indi vidual citizens. Good health is one of our nation's greatest assets," accord ing to the specialists. "Since it's so expensive physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially to be in poor health, few of us can afford to be sick. Good health is more than freedom from disease or simply not being sick. It is a condition of the mind and body which permits one to live most and serve best It is your duty every day to keep' well and fit for your job, whatever it may be. "Keep a watchful eye on your health get fit and then stay fit" advise Miss Wilson and Mrs. Fessenden. Bisr Denomination E. H Bonds Pace Upturn Increasing investment purchases by buyers of large denomination bonds played a substantial part in the up turn in sales of U. S. Savings bonds last year. Figures compiled by the IT. S. Treasury Department show that pur chases of E and H bonds of $500 de nomination and over came to $1.8 bil lions for the fiscal year ended last June 30, or 50 per cent above the fig ure for the year before. . Purchases of the small denomina tion bonds also increases, the combin ed total for the $25 and $50 issues rising to $1.6 billions for the 1953 fis cal year as compared with $1.4 billions in the previous year.

Many of the farmers are taking ad vantage of the high price of pork and get rid of their market weight hogs.
