TRUCK AND DRAG
May Be at Work on County
Roads in 80 Days-State High
way Roads to Be Worked First.


The county road board placed an or
der Tuesday for 3 1-2 ton Federal
road truck and Sway drag. The
equipment costs $4,000 at Detroit,
Mich, and the freight and war tax
will run the cost something over $4,-
OOO
Representatives of a number of
truck manufacturers appeared be,
fore the board at it's regular meeting
Monday and committee composed
of Messrs. J. I. Townsend and }.
Browne Evans, members of the board;
Mr.. Frank Wishart, road superinten
dent; and Mr.. H. E. Stacy, attorney
for the board, was appointed to de-
eide the matter, which it did at
meeting Tuesday.
It is hoped that the truck and drag
will be in operation on the roads OF
the county in about 80 days. Some
members Of the board saw one OF
these trucks and drags in operation on
the roads of Cumberland county re-
Gently and were most favorably I'M
pressed with the work. Mr.. Evans
: and Mr.. Wishart also went to Allan
ia. Ga. recently to investigate the
matter, which had been under con-
= sideration for some time by the board
This truck is also equipped with
t hydraulic dump. AS high as 81 miles
of road have been dragged in Cum.
;, berland county with a similar ou4h1
e in a day, the Robson board was ad.
y vised by Cumberland county roac
}. commissioner.
f This truck and drag will be put tt
> work on the State highway system
t which comprises in Robson the Fay

way commission and the county hav
IT been splitting the cost equally. Wit

ID Under the present law the count

or it ceases to be available for the cou1
n ty. The county's share Of this none

she could never be sure how they would

To give every woman way Of making cakes
that ai,eay5 come out wonderfully always
light and fluffy and tender r. Aunt Jemima
Pancake Flour was created.
The treasured recipe of a famous Southern
cook was adopted as the basis of the for

it. Especially ground and blended fours
were used-fours that you could not buy in
a store. And finally, since good pancakes
