Biz Increase In Highway
Patrol Will Be Sought In.
Assembly AueriH States

something like 25v, number which
might conceivably be granted in view
of the current emergency and the
fact that the States entire National
Guard will be in South Carolina I'M
dergoing its year Of training. Oh
course, if a Home Guard has been
authorized before the legislature
meets in January, it might nave All
adverse effect on any increase IN pa
trCl personnel, but that's something
nobody can do any safe predicting
about at this time.
Coupled with the request for in
creased personnel will be some
what novel idea that there should be
in the bill a provision for further au-
tomato increases should registration
of vehicles continue TO 60 upward IN
North Carolina.
No figures on the additional regis
trations to be required for additional
patrolmen have been indicated; but
one for every $4,000 in round num-
bers would appear probable, based
on the present registration.
This years registration is likely
to 90 above 100000, which on basis
of a normal patrol of $50 men (prob-
ably the top for which there IS any
expectation would be in ratio OF one
patrolmen to $4,000 vehicles, in round
numbers. Hence it is likely that the
bill! for increasing the patrol would
provide that for every increase Of
$4,000 in registrations another pa
trolman could be added.
There is no definite limitation in
the present law on the number Of
patrolmen, but the same result is at
tanned by the fixed appropriation Tor
salaries above which the patrol can
not 90. Hence when the salary money
has been apportioned for $50 patrol
men, there Just isn't any more avail
able for more officers or men.
Major Armstrong said that he does
not know exactly how the 10 men
added to the force by guDcrndlorIai
decree will be paid; but he assumed
that money for their salaries Will be
made available from the emergency
and contingent fund under control Of
the governor.
The patrol boss now plans to add
only IA members TO The patrol i'm
mcdately. Troops A (Greenville) and
c (Greensboro) will each be given
-lour additional patroimen while three
each will be added to Troops B Gay
etteville) and D (Asheville). That
will equalize the number authorized
for each troop, as p and D now have
40 men on duty as compared with
AZ in Troops A and c.

Rules Given for Control
Of Poison Ivy

Poison ivy can be serious menace
to the suburban home owner and
its removal may constitute a definite
home mprovement-especially if the
members of the family are sensitive
to the plant. Some general sug-
gestions on poison ivy control follow:
l. Grubbing up the root is the
surest way to get rid of poison ivy,
but people who are not immune
should take precautions to protect
themselves before undertaking the
job.
2. Poison of the plants is trans
mitted to anything that is touched:
Clothes, gloves, shoes, tools, ETC.
3. Vines that are cut off from the
roots and remain clinging to tree
or fence retain their poisonous
quality.
4. Leaves and green shoots of the
plant can be shriveled by strong
solution of rock salt in water with
soap added. This solution, how
ever, will kill other vegetation.
S. Care should be exercised in
burning brush containing poison ivy
leaves or vines, as the smoke fumes
may poison sensitive persons.
6. Poison ivy is poisonous through
out the entire year.

Competent Planning
OF Home Eliminates
Potent Heartaches
Booklet Is Offered to
Remind Prospective
Builders of Details

The ultimate satisfaction Of every
home-building family is predeter-
mined by their ability to recognize
their problems of personal plan-
ming and then to solve them.
The architectural man can fromu-
late a family's home requirements
in a set of plans and specifica-
tions but the completeness Of his
work is dependent entirely upon the
family's individual expressions OF
details to be built into the house.
True, he often saves the day by dis
covering and correcting che most
noticeable omissions, or drawing on
his experiences for worthwhile sug-
gestions. However, his only human
facilities cannot pry loose unex-
pressed and entirely personal ideas.
Disappointment Follows.
The obvious consequence of loose
planning Is disappointment. Then
the home owner has to choose be-
tween resigning himself to accept
ing the situation or making costly
changes to secure the convenience
of otherwise economical features.
The latter is always a bitter dose"
Ironically. the home-planning
family is not responsible for the
unfortunate situation revolving
around them. They aren't trained
for such highly specialized job
as doing the part of home planning
that is required of them. 1t is
probably their first and last expert
ence of that kind. Some can think
only about the house -to-be in the
broadest terms, devoid of details;
others consider every little detail
that comes TO their attention, down
to the design on the hinges for
the kitchen cabinets. But. after all
there still remains the question,
Have we thought of everything?"
They don't know and probably won't
know until after the house warming.

private funds were in cities having

while IS per cent of the u. S. H. A.

All geographic divisions except
the Middle Atlantic showed in
creases in the number of dwelling

South Atlantic provided the second
highest number of dwelling units,
followed in order by the East North

All of us have A hours every day. About third of that time should be spent in sleep, If we are to maintain robust health.
 Possibly half our 16 waking hours is spent in work. No one should ex- pect to be able to do things for his personal health or enjoyment dur ing that time, but he should be able to control his own distiny during the hours when he is not working. Everyone should regulate those hours by three urges-to increase physical fitness, to deepen friend- ships, and to acquire cultural and refining interests.
 If physical fitness is a goal, one will eat properly but simply. try to take care of all defects, and seek recreational and invigorating exer- else. If extending friendships is goal, one will guard his speech and his temper, try to become interested in matters that concern others, and choose recreations which can in- clude his acquaintanceS and friends. If the acquiring of cultural and re- fining interests is a goal, one will frequent libraries, become interested in the arts, and cultivate hobbies which will give him an opportunity to make beautiful things.
