posal February l
posal February L

Cecil county farmers will vote on
Thursday, Feb. 1,1945, on whether OF
not they are in favor of the creation
OF the proposed Cecil County Sol.
Conservation district. This district
will include Cecil county.
polling station will be opened
from a. m. to p. m. at the County
Agents Office, second floor in the
Post Office Building, Elkton.
County Agent j. q. Miller points
out that this proposed Soil Conser-
walton district will provide for To-
cally controlled organization of far
mers that will be responsible for ero-
sion control work in the county. A
fiye-man board of directors, who
must be farm owners or operators oil
land in the county, will operate the
district. They will no doubt ask fol
state and federal assistance in getting
technical aid to the farmers. This
will enable the farmers in the county
TO get strip cropping, contour farm
ing, terraces and pasture burrows
laid out without cost to the farmers.
Ballots are being mailed out t.
farmers living in Cecil county, the
proposed Soil Conservation District.
This mail ballot will permit the far
mers to vote by mail rather than
coming to the polling station. 1t has
been pointed out that these ballots
must be mailed back to the County
Agent Miller's Office by February /,
to be. counted in the vote.
Voting in the referendum will not
obligate any one, Mr.. Miller points
out. Only those farmers requesting
assistance will be given aid in the
erosion control and drainage work
that they want done on their farms.
In other words, the work will be on
strictly voluntary basis and farm
ers will take part in the program on
ly to the extent that they wish to.

Creating Kindier Feeling

Residents of other sections, in and out OF
North Carolina, have complained bitterly
when their autos have been tagged for over
parking or parking in prohibited zones. Their
complaining has not been wholly without
cause, for they do not know our traffic ordi-
nances, being strangers, and are aggrieved
when they find a red tag on the windshield.
This condition has worried the City Coun-
cil the City Manager and the Police De-
partment no end. At last a way to take the
sting out of the tagging of visitors cars has
been found. A folder has been printed explain
ing in brief the parking rules, and emphasiz-
ing the fact: I'VE want your favor-not your
fine
In addition there is a full page of infor-
nation about the city, and on the front an
invitation to visit Greenfield Park.
Altogether, it seems probable that stran-
gers will form a kindlier opinion OF the city
through use Of the folder.

Shaw takes for his subject the re.
lationship of man to his fellows,
of the individual to his COM

of the Goth century social creeds.
At the same time he tells an alb
sorbing story set in a fascinating
native setting, with characters who
ring true, you follow the quick
changes in Happy Boys fortunes
with intense interest.
The author writes unpreten-

why the translation seems so eff

Gated about the phrasing, but there
are strangely powerful and NOV
ing images. Lau Shaw fulfills the
novelist's double obligation. to have
something to say and to say it well.
This is the first novel by this
