Plan Ahead" Suggested In
Building Community Houses

Most North Carolina communi-
ties need to look farther into the
future when they build their COM
munity houses.
That's the belief of Selz Mayo,
rural sociologist in the North Car
olina Experiment Station after a
tour of 25 organized communities
in Is western counties.
These folks bubbled over in their
desire to build a better communi-
ty for themselves and their chill
dren. They put their skill, ingenui-
ty and ability into building the
best community houses they could.
But Mayo noticed several out
standing shortcomings in the PLAN
ming of all too many OF these COM
munity buildings. Built under the
pressure of short-run enthusiasm.
they lack several important things.
l. The main auditorium is simp-
" too small for the community.
2. No kitchen or eating facilities
were planned for in the beginning.
They were added later at high cost
and often by taking up other need
ed space.
8. Original plans made no provi-
sion for replacing the temporary
heating units.
4. Land was not available for
parking space. outdoor fire places,
a ball field or other recreational
facilities as the need for those
arose.
To avoid these unnecessary
growing pains" Mayo suggests:
think BIG, even though you
build only for the present. Plan
ahead at least for one generation.

TCP*, Shell developed additive
that overcomes the greatest cause
of power loss in the majority of the
cars on the road today, has now
been blended into regular grade
Shell Gasoline.
AS result, engines designed to
operate on regular gasoline can
benefit two ways. First, TCP addi-
tive "fireproofs" combustion
chamber deposits, effectively con-
trolling pre-ignition. Second, by
changing the deposits on the spark
plugs to non n-conductors of electric
ity, TCP additive stops misfring.
Each plug fires at the time that it
should, preventing fuel waste.
The Lincoln times., 1954-12-09

If your engine customarily runs
on regular fuel and is being robbed
of power by deposits you'll now
get performance neuer before posi-
lie with regular grade gasoline.
Shell Gasoline with TCP gives these
engines an increase in pouer and
engine snaoothness, an increase IN
spark plug life, an increase in mile
age. And you'll get these benefits
before you've finished the second
tankfI.
Because engine deposits form
constantly, continued use of Shell
Gasoline Irregular grade) with TCP
IS essential to retain it's benefits.
Now at all Shell Dealers.

Against the three-rlo-trump
contract Mr.. Masters opened his
fourth best diamond, the eight
spot. The deuce was played from
the board and Mr.. New woodenly
put up the jack.
This natural" and seemingly
harmless play actually ruined
the defenders chances of de-
feating the contract.
Mr.. Champion killed the jack
with the ace and the result was
that the guarded 10 of diamonds
on the board became a second
stopper in the suit.
Mr.. Champion had seven solid
tricks in spades and clubs in
addition to the ace of diamonds.
So all he had to do was to
set UP a winner in hearts
which was easily accomplished.
Nothing we could do about
that one" remarked Mr.. New as
the game was entered on, the
score.
Are you kidding?" Mr.. Cham
pion, sneered. st never could
have made nine tricks If you'd
made the right play at the first
trick"
Mr.. New still didn't get it and
he asked Mr.. Masters what he
had done wrong.
champion is right" said Mr..
Masters. .'You should have
played the seven of diamonds at
trick one. From my lead Of the
eight spot. you could tell there
were just thee cards higher than
the eight outside of my hand.
One of these was on the board.
One was in your hand.
Therefore, only one Of them
was in the closed hand. Now
which of the higher diamonds
could Champion have? Not the
nine spot because that would
mean had started with the ace,
king, queen and from that hold
ing would have led an honor.
not my fourth highest.
ITO sum up" continued Mr..
Masters. you should have known
that Champion had only one
diamond higher than the eight
and that it was either the ace or
the king or the queen. So why
put up the jack unnecessarily?
If you'd played your seven, moth
ing could have prevented us from
winning three diamond tricks and
two hearts,"
Mr.. New saw the logic of all
this and he admitted his error.
He shook his head sadly. These
things are so darn much easier
to see when you're sitting on the
sidelines," he muttered.

Japanese Hamper Grab Fishing of American Boats

SEATTLE, tR - Japanese fish ing vessels hampered crab fish ing operations of American boats in the Boring Sea, Capt. J. E. Shields, owner of one of the three American vessels which h rave been in the area, said today.
 Capt. Shields trawler, the Nor die Maid, is the largest trawler under the American flag.
 'The Japanese steamer Tokei Maru and her 12 fishing boats have succeeded in driving every American fishing boat from the Boring Sea banks" Captain Shields said
 ''They placed "a spy vessel alongside the Nordic Maid to watch how much were in the nets when we took in our nets. If the net had fair catch, the Japanese immediately started up their radio and inside half an hour a vessel arrived and com pletely surrounded the American vessel with tangle nets.
 "The tangle nets are about half a mile long, and the men on the Tokei Maru reported that they had 17,OOO miles of them. The American boats were thereby re- duced to merely hunting for crabs and as soon as they found any, the Japanese took them in the tangle nets.
 "The Japanese have announc- ed they are staying until the end of September, complete masters of the fishing grounds in Boring Sea.
 ''The Japanese expedition con- sists of 380 men on board the Tokei Maru, a 10,000-ton steamer, besides crews for the 12 fishing boats"

Bennington Disaster May Have Been Caused by CataDuIt Room Fire

 And the catapult room of the big ship may come under investi- gation after the Navy Board of Inquiry met for the first time yesterday at this naval air base.

MONDAY IS MEMORIAL DAY

Daniel Webster said, God grants liberty only to those who love and ready to guard and defend it.
 Memorial Day is the day set aside to honor those who have given their lives for their country and Ameri everywhere pay tribute on this day to those who gave their lives that freedom might live.
 Memorial Day in recent years has taken on more than military aspect families take this opportunity to decorate the graves of their loved in tribute of their tender devotion.
 Memorial Day is beautiful day blending the past with the hopes of the future.
 The upkeep of this last resting place should be a permanent part of civic planning, well kept through out the year and instead of being neglected all the rest of the year.
