TALL TALES
Rv ELIZABETH WRITTEN

Yesterday was bad day. It was
one of those days when you can't
put your finger on anything that's
wrong, but altogether things just
don't move along like they should.
So it was all the more notice
able when there was one bright
spot in the glooNr A woman who
dropped in to put news story in
the paper probably didn't realize
that a casual remark she made was
more newsy to me than the story
she brought.
Just before leaving she said,
lyon know 1 like my work." For a
moment time stood still. Just one
fleeting instant didn't even see
the stack of papers on the desk, nor
hear the phone ringing. It's the first
time I've heard anyone say that
since the depression. Orchids to
YOU dear school teacher. Maybe
that explains why you're one of the
best Mcdowell county ever had.
People who would like to make
liberal contributions to c u S
but gifts to the unfortunate or in
any way use money to benefit man
kind, but just haven't the money
might find some compensation by
handing out few sincere compli-
ments Perhaps they might even do
more that way than with the money,
An office worker talking with me
recently said there was one woman
patron she always looked forward
to serving.
"Sometimes when I've given her
only the service it's my duty to
give, she will make a special phone
call to thank me and it's helped me
through many a dreary day." the
worker said.

LET'S SAVE LIVES ON THE ROAD

Now that the summer vacation season is a
bout over and you have escaped death on the
highway, it might not be amiss to repeat again
the old warning that careful driving is what
the nation needs if it is to reduce the horrible
cost of speed on our highways.
One hundred Americans day is too high
a price to pay for modern transportation. 1t is
remarkable that the public is so apathetic to
the loss of life and that the injured are hardly
noticed by the public. If some strange, un-
known disease taking a hundred victims
a day in the United States, there would be a
hysterical reign Of terror throughout the land.
Marion, like every other community, furn-
ishes it's quota of victims of the automobile
highway toll every year. With the best inten-
tions we continue to permit drunken drivers
to operate cars and get off free when appre-
hended. We like to think that we can violate
traffic regulations without having to pay the
penalty. It is time, however, that we lost this
foolish notion.
Rigid enforcement of every traffic regula-
ton, with stiff fines imposed for minor viola
tions would do much to make the average au-
tomobile driver safety conscious. Let's support
the work of the traffic policemen and give
them the satisfaction of knowing that we are
behind them when they arrest careless and
reckless drivers.

CHANCE is NEEDED

National Employ The Physically Handi-
capped Week." begins October 2 and will di-
rect attention to the advisability of seeking to
give employment to those able to work but not
usually considered readily employable.
The special week has been authorized by
Congress to call attentionsfto the plight of the
physically Handicapped, ,zzWhe@ne the oppor-
tunity to be self-supporting. Many individuals,
suffering physical disabilities, are we'll able to
earn their living if they can find sympathetic
employers ready to give them chance.

TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS

The mileage death rate for the
nations traffic accidents in the
first half of 1949 hit an all-time low
Of 6.8, according to the National
Safety Council. This was the first
time in the history Of such record
keeping that the half-year rate has
been less than seven deaths for
each 1OO,O00,000 miles Of vehicular
travel. At the end Of seven months
of 1949, the 1910 death total was
16,540, still one per cent under the
16,700 count at the end of July,
1948.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

After about ten months of more
or less setbacks, business is show
ing signs of picking up again, with
a more than seasonal rise being re-
ported. Production is increasing,
with resulting increases in retail
trade and employment. Most econo-
mic experts discount the prospect
of another downturn in the busi-
ness curve, expecting a gradual rise
in general activity.

National Guard Heads
To Discuss Lack Of
Armories Here Jan. 6

Lack of armories for efficient
training of the National Guard
will be one of the primary dis
cussions before the Executive
Council of the National Guard
Association of the United States
to be held here January s, Z
and 8.
This meeting, which also will
include members Of the special
and standing committees Of the
association, will decide on action
to make effective the 81 resolu-
tions adopted at the recent an
nual conference. Most OF them
are matters to be presented be-
fore the committees Of Congress.
Controversy to Be Discussed.
The Air Force - Air National
Guard controversy is expected to
be foremost in the discussions.
Guard officials contend the Air
Force is trying to strangle the Air
National Guard and has failed
to provide it with program OF
training toward the objectives
which it would be. expected to
carry out in time Of war.
The armory problem is expected
to be taken up with respect to
the recruiting drives constantly
being pressed by the National
Guard Bureau. Guard officials
from various parts of the country
point out that there is little use
of attempting to recruit up to
the postwar objective Of 682, 900
officers and men when there is
no place to house or train them.
The current years objective,
limited by the extent of appropria-
tions, is 399, 500 officers and men.
This is expected to be reached by
June of next year. However,
Guard officers say that there are
not even enough armories now to
provide housing for this number.
Program Before Congress.
Pending before the Congress
committees now Is a $500, ,000, 900
armory building program to cover
q period of 10 years. Officers point
out that with economy for the de-
fense establishment in the air,
there is little prospect Of getting
any money for the program.
Therefore, it was explained. the
only answer is to halt recruiting.
Mai. Gen. E. A. Walsh, president
Of the association, will head the
committee on legislation, which
was directed for more than a quar-
ter of century b yMaj. Gen. Mil
ter Of a century by Maj. Gen. Mil
of Maryland. Gen. Walsh said
that Gen. Rockford, who resigned
rs chairman, has agreed to serve
rs q member of the group.

propyl" and labeled 1884 pounds of
acid equivalent per gallon" then
column 4 indicates that 2 gallons
and 4 quarts should be added to
enough water to make up 100 gal
Ions of spray solution. With this
solution in the tank, the spray rig
will apply one pound of 2,4-D acid
equivalent per acre. If a stronger ap-
p~lication of acid equivalent is de-
sired, the quantity of herbicide can
be increased. In our example, an
acid equivalent rate of 2 pounds per
acre would require 5 gallons and 4
quarts or 6 gallons of manufacturers
solution.
CThe recommended rates in Mon
tana for annual weeds in growing
grain vary from 8 to rs pounds of
acid equivalent per acre. So if, for
example, a II pound per acre rate
was needed it would be necessary to
take half of the result given in the
one pound example mentioned be-
fore.)
Tt is good practice to partly fill
the spray or measuring tank before
adding the herbicide and then add
water to make the required spray
solution.

New Developments
I'm Weed Control

NEW CHEMICALS for weeds not
susceptible to 2,4-D and new meth
DDS of application are the two most
recent developments in weed con-
troll, according to L. w. Kephart and
L. S. Evans, weed control specialist,
bureau of plant industry, soils, and
agricultural engineering of Belts
vile, Md.
High on the list of the new com-
pounds are those that kill grasses.
They include TEA (trichloroacetic
acid) aromatic oils, mercury COM
pounds, and potassium cyanate. The
aromatic oils, SO far manufactured
only in the west, are in wide use
there to control Johnson grass and
Burmuda grass. The mercury COM
pounds and potassium cyanate, COM
ing on the market under various
trade names, are the first of the
chemicals found to be effective in
the control of crab grass.
One of the most promising of the
new compounds is 2,4,5-T which on
trolls many of the brushy weeds un-
affected by 2,4-D. These include
Usage orange, formerly widely
planted for hedge fences, Cherokee
rose in the south, and wild black
berries in the west. A combination of
2,4,5-T and 2,4-D is being sold for
general brush-killing.
Solvent napthas or aromatic sol
vents are giving excellent control
of aquatic weeds, one of the serious
problems in western irrigation
bitches.
