in a position to block similar con-

Testimony to this effect is expected

Only one witness, Superintend-

Hint of Fireworks
A hint of fireworks to come was
given early in the hearing Coil,
voicing mild objections to what he
indicated were side issues, remarked
to the commissioner that the only
question before the commission is
whether the company should be al

areas without charging consumers
for construction under the company
rule as it exists. Referring to a pre-
vious statement by Horton, dealing
with projected standby power
plant at Brawley, Coil remarked that
there were several things Horton
might clear up.

America of 1885 (Henriette Leaver

will not strip off her clothes in pub
lic-not even for Cecil B. DeMille--
unless her public demands it.
But they're already demanding
it." Miss Leaver confessed, opening
her big blue eyes very wide.
The demand came right after
her skirmish with Sculptor Frank
Vittor over whether a statue of Miss
Leaver, sans her bathing suit, should
be exposed to the public eye-a dis
pute which split Miss America fans
of the nation into hostile camps.

EROSION CONTROL
NEEDED BY SOUTH

College Station, Raleigh, July IL
The future of the South is closely
linked with erosion control and the
conservation of soil and moisture,
according to Dean 1. o. Schaub, of
State College.
In North Carolina, he said, millions
of acres of fertile topsoil constitute
the States greatest natural heritage,
the fundamental source of all wealth
But it cannot remain fertile and
productive if erosion is allowed to
continue its ravages. the dean warn
ed.
In connection with the erosion con-
troll and soil conservation program, a
pamphlet giving a graphic descrip-
ton of the destruction wrought by
the uncontrolled run-off Of rain wat
er has been placed in the hands of
cooperating farmers.
When rain falls on unprotected
soil, the pamphlet explains, the wa
ter runs off rapidly, washing away
that should be stored in the land to
supply crops between rains.
Rapid run-off of water also caus-
es floods in period Of heavy rainfall
and serious drouths when rains are
infrequent.
. Since the way in which land is
farmed has a great deal to do with
. increasing or checking erosion. the
pamphlet also discusses methods of
cropping that not only control ero-
Sion, but also conserve and build up
the soil
: The pamphlet, entitled "soil, The
Nations Basic Heritage was pub
lished by the U. S. Department of
agriculture, the IVA, and the asri-
cultural colleges Of North Carolina,

Dry Weather Has
Increased Danger
of Forest Fires

College Station, Raleigh, July II
Hot, dry weather has greatly increas-
ed the danger of forest fires over
much of North Carolina.
Ordinarily, summer is not consid-
cred a period of great fire hazard,
said r. w. Graeber, extension forest
er at State College, but drought con-
slitions have made woodlands dry
and inflamable.
To prevent and control forest fires,
Graeber lists the following precau-
tons:
Smoke only when stopping in a safe
place, clear of inflamable material
Never smoke while travelling through
the woods.
Be sure all matches are out before
throwing them away. A good policy
is to break each match in two be-
fore discarding it.
Never throw pipe ashes or cigar
and cigarette stubs into brush, leaves
or needles. be sure that all ashes and
stubs arc dead before casting them
aside.
Before building a camp fire, scrape
away all inflamable material from a
spot five feet in diameter. Dig a
hole in the center, and build the fire
in the hole. Keep the fire small and

Just like died-in-the-wool baseball
