Land Owners Improving We are fortunate in Nor theastern North Carolina that our forest soils are well-suited for toe production of timber. However, due to past cutting practices most of our woodlands are not satisfactorily stocked with desirable trees. Neither the "high pine sites" or the "low, moist hardwood sites" can be repeatly high-graded and still produce periodic crops of timber. High-grading and diameter-limit cutting allows the cull trees or shade tolerant underbrush to dominate when the timber is harvested. One method of reforesting poor stocked woodlands is by crushing the cull trees and Students Invited To Open House At N.CJS.U.

Know Your Social Security "The Social Security Ad ministration wants to keep the public informed and up to date about all of the provisions of the Social Security Law," stated Robert W. Alford. Manager of the Elizabeth City Social Security Office. One of the ways of informing the public is by providing social security speakers at civic clubs and organization meetings. Usually a telephone call to the social security office to request a speaker is all that is necessary. "What we are in terested in at present Is making the availability of this service more widely known,'; Alford stated. . Alford adds that perhaps the most important function of toe Social Security Administration is to protect the rights of persons under the Social Security and Medicare Law. Alford invites all interested dubs and organizations to call the social security office at 338 3931 and take advantage of this free service. Woodlands this year are: Jacob Spivey, Hobbsville; N.D. Chappell, Hobbsville: Mary Winslow, Belvidere; Henry Stokes, Hertford; Carlton Davenport, Hertford; and Elijah White, Winfall. To realize the full potential of our forest and to meet the future demands for timber we must keep our woodlands productive. Contact the North Carolina Forest Service for additional advice. Cost-sharing assistance is usually available from the County A.S.C.S. office and reduces the out-of-pocket costs per acre to a very reasonable amount. Drugs Taken In Burglary HERTFORD "Hard nar cotics" valued at $l,500-$2,000 were taken in a burglary of Harmon's Pharmacy, making it the largest drug theft in the town's history, Police Chief Benjamin Gibbs reported. In addition, thieves took two electric razors and 23 watches, according to Proprietor J.E. Sparks who discovered the theft at 8 a.m. Friday. Gibbs told The Daily Advance "It, (burglary) occurred sometime between 7 p.m. Thursday when the store was closed and 8 a.m. Friday when Sparks arrived to open for the day. But we're not sure when." The chief said he Is being aided in the investigation by three State Bureau of Investigation agents, adding that, "we are working on it as hard as we can." He described the missing pills, and capsules, and said they were taken from a cabinet behind the pharmacist's counter. "None of the doors to the store were touched during the night," said Gibbs. Because his department makes regular checks on the door throughout toe night Gibbs feels thatentry to the store must have been via the roof. "I think they got in from a window up there and then came down into the store through an elevator shaft and went out that way too," he said. "Whoever these people were they were real pros and knew exactly what they wanted," Gibbs said. 1 Sales Tax For August $6,335.88 In Perquimans the 1 per cent Sales and Use tax collection for the month of August amounted to $6,335.88 it was announced today by I.L.
