Seal lore and Thurt<lay, April 11, KI^4GS MOUNTAIN HERALD. KINGS MOUNTAIN. N. C. Phaimadsts Dangeioiis Time On IlighwaYs Hold Meeting It appears that all citizens have finally become water con scious, not only for daily needs ■ ill th(> home, but for industrial an dcconomic growth. How about tile needs of plants for water? One needs only to observe the efleets of drouth. Drive throuifh a desmt region, or just forget to water the house plants to realize the important ixile of water in plant growth. The amount of rainfall or the quantity of water available for irrigation are oftem tile limiting factors in the pro duction of certain kinds of hor ticultural plants. Kresh fruits and vegetables are very high in water content. The Irish potato as nearly SO per «!nt water; carrots about 88 per cent; pears 83 per cent; and melons about 94 per cent. Even <lty Iteans. peas and most seeds have a moisture content of about- 10 to 1.5 per cent. Calculations ,show fbat ^n ap-, pit? tree will use approximately! ten 50-gallon barrels of water to ^ro.luce one bushel of fruit. A ^irn plant loses over 50 gallons of water during a ^growing sea-i .ton, an Irish potato plant about 25 gallons, and a tomato plant about .35 gallons. Water is necessary for the ab sorption of nutrients from the soil thruogh the root system and the movement of those nutrients to all parts o€ the plant through i the vascular (circulatory) system. Water is one of the raw products o’ photosynthesis (food manu-! facture) in the leaf, upon whichl YOUR GUTNES CAN all life, as we know it today, depends. There is a tiemendous loss of water through transpiration fromi the leaf surface. This might be termed lu.vury use of water be-| cause much mon- is tianspired than is necessary for normal j growth piocesses. More water, enters the atmosphere through transpiration from leaf surfaces of p.ants, for a given area, than is lost by evapoi'ation of an equivalent area of open water. ; ’ Deficient water will cause smaller fruits, retarded root grow'th, vegetables become tough | and strhigy, onions and radishes more pungent, and lawns may cease growth and become bi-owni and dormant until the rains I come. I To(y much water may cause le- tarded root growth and wilting due to ttic inability of the plant to "get the rrecessai’y oxygen. You have seen tobacco plants wilt in tlie field due to excessive )-ain-| fall. i GREENSBORO The 8,Sth annual meeting of the North Cai'olina Phai’maeeutieal Asso ciation, it's Woman’s Auxiliary and The Traveling Men’s Auxi liary ended lieie Wednesday in a fluriy of business. Smithficld pharmacist .lames L. Creel! was installed as presi dent of the NCPhA. He suta'oeds S. D.

"The Easter period is one of the longest holiday periods we experience during the year," said Ma,1or John Daws, Patrol enforce ment cliief. "W'p have been eon- centi’ating on the weekends and we will continue on this lack, even though the holiday prudiKl may extend the weekend longer' than normal." The official Easter holiday period will begin at 6 p.m. Fri day. April 12 and continue until midnight Monday, April 15. This is a 7S-hour wv'ekend-holidayi [jeriod. "The weekends are normally the most dangerofis time on our| highways," Major Laws said.j “Couple this with an extended! holiday pei'iod and it become! doubly dangerous.” I The Patrol official stated the' long Easter period in 1967 re- akci- Moose of Mount Pleasant, pirliamentaiian; and Mi's. W. G. Fon-esl of Gastqnia and Mrs. James L. Creech of Smittifield. Advisors. Attending the meeting ?were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Blanton of Kings Mountain. I suited in 20 highway deaths and 557 Injuries In 897 accidents. Major Laws noted there will be an unusual number of young, people, lilyh school and college age, using the Irigliways .over iiie holiday period and many families traveling to see relatives and, friends. | "If the weather is summei-ish,”! he said. ”I expect heavy ti’afflc enroule to tile beach and lesort areas at oi' near the coast.” The Pati'ol has been utilizing; ’’wolfpack” or saturation patrol-' Uhg in high accident areas on fhe weekends recently. During; three vvwkonds in M.vrch the Pa trol operated in is different counties. ’’These-were hi^h accident and high fatality ai'eas,” Major Law! .said. “The saturation patrolling’ substantially reduced accidents, injuries an^ deaths in the panic-1 ular counties concerned.” I Although the number pf high ways deaths in 1968 Is rqnning aliead pf the same period for. 1967. there has been some pro-! gi-ess. The Department of Motor Ve-, hides’ Accident Records Division; reports preliminary inv'estigations indicate a decrease in the total, number of injuries during tliej first two months of 1968. | Motor Vehicle Commissioner' Ralph L. Howland says a report on the initial three months of the year should be ready soon and will show the exact jilcture of higliways deaths, injuries and accidents. The state lias suffered an un usual number of multiple-death wrecks during the early stages of 1968. In recent months tliere have been 11 wrecks claiming the lives of 47 persons. A two- car collision at Wilson snuffed out the lives of eight persons. On one weekend in March two wrecks took the lives of 12 [ler- sons. "The increasing number of young people involved in serious injury and fatal accidents is of great concern to those of us who work with this problem every day,” said Commissioner How land. “It is becoming evident that the adults must set a better ex ample of the young people to follow, and the courts mu.st make it too expensive for any person to speed, drink and drive oi- op erate a motor vehicle in a I’eck- loss manner.” Major Laws stated that during the long holiday wekend, the Pa trol will be utilizing all of it’s specialized equipment such as VASCAR. radar and speed watch es, plus routine patrols to regard the speeding driver. “We also will lie utilizing the 70 Breathalyzers at our disposal to check persons arrested on; charses of driving under the in-i AHen Member Of "leb Sluarl" U.
