Years ago the merchants of
Tabor City raised funds with
which to buy streets lights that
have been erected each Xmas
since along the towns main bust
ness district.
1t became apparent several
Christmases ago that the lights
were no longer adequate and
merchants and toWnspeople have
been voicing that complaint at
frequent intervals. Yet, each
Christmas, because that was all
the lights that were available,
they were strung up for what
they were worth.
This year the board of direct
ors of the Tabor City Merchants
Association, realizing the made
quacy of the lighting, decided to
erect a large Christmas tree on
Railroad street rather than
string It's lights up and down
each SIDE of the street. The town

al and today the huge commun-
ity Christmas tree is proudly
standing in the center of the
city.
But while voting to erect the
tree, the merchants realize the
need for more and better street
lights for Tabor City. No action
has been taken by the group
relative to raising additional
funds for the purchase of lights
but this seems to be a most like
ly project before Xmas 1851 rolls
around.
Tabor City has always taken
its rightful place among the for
ward moving towns in this area.
Local businessmen now do not
want to see Tabor City's Christ.
mas lighting second to others in
the area. Christmas lights give
the town the Christmas spirit
in a way that not many other
means can accomplish.
The community Christmas tree
is a fine sight on the local streets
and perhaps it should be made
a part of the annual decorations.
Perhaps when the merchants and
town get together and buy mod
ern and adequate Christmas
street lighting equipment, they
will continue to erect an annual
Christmas tree.

STATE COLLEGE
ANSWERS

QUESTION: Large sWeetgum
trees are interfering with the
growth of better quality trees
on my farm. What steps do you
recommend?
ANSWER: John E. Ford. as.
sistant extension forester at
State College says applying am.
monium sulfamate II the form
of dry crystals is simple way
to kill large sweetgums or red,
gums. This material is sold I'm.
der the name of Animate. The
crystals should be placed in a
notch cut into the base of
the tree to be removed. The cups
are notched with an AK by max.
ing two downward chops about
an inch or two above each other
and chipping out a piece of wood.
The notches are cut into the tops
of roots or root swells at the
ground line.
One tablespoonful of the dry
crystals should be placed in each
cup or notch. These are spaced
about six inches apart all a
round the base of the tree.
Gums can be killed by this
method at any season of the
year, but best results usually are
obtained in the late summer, fall
or winter. After trees are poi
soned in this way, they should
be left standing for at least six
months to give the chemical a
chance to kill the root system
completely.

REMOVING DECALS.
From Mrs. o. S. c.,
Falls Church,
Mrs. S. r. c. requested meth
Cd of removing decals. I find
this works beautifully: Soak abb
sorbent cotton in boiling water.
Cover the decal with the cotton
and fasten with Scotch tape.
Leave it on for 20 minutes. re-
move the cotton and peel the decal
off easily with a razor.
(From Mrs. A. B. c., WashingtonJ
I remove decals from my glass
jars by laying a cloth, soaked with
very hot water on it, until they
come off and I am able to use
them again. I doubt if the hot
water would harm your cabinets,
however. I would go easy until I
saw it did not harm the surface.
Hope this will help and it only
takes a little patience to remove
them this way.

Dr.. Humphreys Leaves Farm,
Lawn and Lane to u. of Va.

DR.. William jackson Humphreys,
eminent meteorologist and physi-
cist, lived not alone for the re-
mote stars and cold equations.
His will, on file in District Court
today, showed that the humble
vegetable garden and the we'll
kept lawn also rated high among
the charms of an 87-year- lifetime.
Bequeathing his 700-acre West
Virginia farm to the University
Of Virginia, where he studied and
later taught, DR.. Humphreys spe-
Gifted that at least one garden be
maintained "for the growing of
vegetables and berries of fine home
use qualities, rather than mere
shipping or marketing values"
He asked, as well. that the uni
versity grow an orchard of "the
best Of home-use fruits" there
and that there might be an ex-
ample of inexpensive but effective
lawn and lane ornamentation" laid
out on the farm property.
DR.. Humphreys theory Is this:
THE contagious influence of a
model garden. model orchard.
model lawn as here suggested will
increase the pleasures and the
healthfulness of any community
in which they are located"
In addition to this bequest,
which also provides that the uni
versity may conduct any kind of
experimental work on the farm,
the court papers revealed total
valuation Of DR.. Humphreys
estate as $169,483. The figure
included an assessed value of all
his real estate holdings In West
Virginia. as well as $110,483 in
bonds and notes.
The scientist, for 30 years at
tached to the United States
Weather Bureau here, died in
Doctors Hospital on November 10.
He was the author of many hooks

losophy and professor emeritus
Of George Washington Univer-
sity.
After establishing trust funds
for his widow. Mrs. Margaret A.
Humphreys. OF. 1926 Fifteenth
street NV, and other relatives,
DR.. Humphreys specified that re-
naming funds also be turned
over to the University of Virginia.

called "Eads Farm" in memory

settled there in 1887 and re-

The uneasy British Labor Gov ernment squeaked through its first parliamentary test yesterday but it will be challenged again Monday by the strong Conservative oppo- sition. The Laborites stayed in power by a 14-vote margin in the Westminster tally yesterday. They were challenged on steel national ization.
 On Monday it will be even more crucial test. The Conservatives, under Winston Churchill, will move an amendment to the throne speech attacking the Governments hous- ing program. This issue cuts di- rectly to the people. Conservatives feel their criticism of Labor's hous- ing program won votes for them in the last election.
 In a special election yesterday in the Moss side contituency of Manchester a Conservative candi- date won. This cut Labor's overall parliamentary majority to a pre- cious six votes.
