An extensive re-signing OF
the States speed zones on paved
primary highways and second
airy roads in rural areas is near
ing completion, Traffic Engineer
Robert Burch said today.
More than 1000 speed zone
locations have been studied and
reclassified. A thorough engin-
eering investigation was made
on the location Of each speed
zone. AS a result. a total Of 49,
90 posts and signs have been
erected across the State.
ITO maintain a free flow OF
traffic, we did away with many
Unnecessary and obsolete speed
zones. We wanted to be fair to
the through motorist and not
impose any undue restriction.
Some zones were abolished, 9TH
ers were increased, some reduc-
ed and many new ones were put
in after our engineering survey"
he said.
Burch stressed that the speed
zones mean just what they say
We've tried to post the speed
zones with the maximum safe
driving speed. Our new signs
have taken out the former toler-
ance. Instead of posting a 25
m.p.h. sign and hoping that a
driver will slow down to 80 or
IS m.p.h. which might be the
true safe maximum speed, we've
posted such an area with n s.
m.p.h. sign which means 35 and
no higher. The new signs make
no allowance for the driver who
merely slows down and doesn't
comply with the exact posted
speed. The wise driver will 60

Motorists are urged by Burch
to cooperate by observing the
speed zones. He emphasized that
the speed zones have a definite
reason for being there based on
thorough engineering survey.
please observe the signs" he
said. "when driving through al
restricted speed zone. Watch
driveway entrances, intersec-

That way, the area will be safe
for other highway users as we'll

Two new signs have been add
ed to speed zones, one at its be-
ginning, the other at its end. The
old Speed Zone Ahead" has
been replaced by a new Reduce
Speed Ahead" which must be
posted 600 feet in advance of a

Carolina Legislature passed a !
law requiring any governmental

Federal loans totaling $780,
$50, made under the u. S. Farm
ers Home Administration, an
agency of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, were made in
columbus County during the
lpast year, according TO Ivey c.
Brown, county supervisor for
the agency.
The credit was advanced to
farmers to buy equipment and
livestock, thus putting their
small farms on an efficient OPP
erating basis. Some of the money
was loaned for soil and water
conservation purposes and to
meet emergency needs.
Loan applications are approx
ed or disapproved by the FILA
County these committee memb-
erS are: Evander c. Annette, Jr.,
Chadbourn; Robert c. Gibson,
Bolton; and Ralph Price, Clar-
endon.
Price was only recently ap-
pointed to the committee, sue
ceSSding NJ. Kenzie Long of Ma
kina, whose thrcc-year term ex-
pired few weeks ago.
Under the loan program, no
monies are put out 10 Il farmer
who can obtain adequate credit
at reasonable rates and terms
elsewhere.
Too, borrowers are expected
10 rcfinanCc their loans with
other lenders as soon as they are
in a position to do SC.
Brown says the assistance Dor
rows receive in record keeping,
budgetlng and preparation OF
financial statements helps in de-
veloping their ability to handle
and make good use of credit.
Further, the equipment. live
stock and improved land ana
buildings farmers acquire thro-
ugh loans from the FILA help
them in obtaining loans later on
from private sources.
Throughout Columbus County,
there are farmers now operating
successful farms who started
with rundownS and improbable
and holdings.
Among them is Roger w.
HARDWOOD who operates a small
farm near Whiteville. Before
getting a loan from FILA he
lived in a house that was so
years old. His barn was just as
old. And he had little cleared
land to cultivate.
Now. after getting assistance
from the FILA, Harwood has

Negotiators met until late yes
terday with a representative of
the Federal Mediation and Con-
Citation Service in an effort to
reach agreement on a new con-
tract. The talks were recessed
until 10 am, Tuesday.
Issues Listed
Involved in the dispute are
these factors;
The union has demanded a
wage raise in a two-year contract
comparable to the 221a cents an
hour won by carpenters. cement
masons and operating engineers.
Part of the raise would begin this
year and the remainder would
become effective May next
year. The employers have offered
five cents an hour increase now
and an additional five cents an
hour next year.
The union wants a clause in
serted in the contract banning
contractors from having any
financial interest in any con-
tracing firm employing non-
union workers. The employers
have said they cannot sign such
a contract without violating pro-
visions Of the Sherman Anti
Trust Law.
Modification of the shop stew
ard clause. An employer spokes-
man said the union has de-
manded a clause preventing con-
tractors from releasing a steward
on job for any reason what
ever. A union spokesman said
the contractors proposal on this
point would take away from the
union its traditional right to des-
Iignate shop stewards.

For U.N. Session

SAN FRANCISCO, June IL
tP.-Russia's v. M. Molotov ar
rives here today for a week of
diplomatic activity which may
well overshadow the scheduled
program Of the U. Ms 10th an
niversary session.
Although the Soviet Foreign
Minister ostensibly was coming
to San Francisco primarily to
address the June 1925 session.
he brought with him delega-
ton Of so aides and advisors.
many of them coming all the
way from Moscow.
Western diplomats are con-
vinced that Mr. Molotov is de-
termined to use his visit in ev-
cry possible way to push the
new Soviet friendship" line.
This may include a number Of
bilaterai talks with foreign min
iSterS OF small nations.
Dulles Due Tomorrow
The big diplomatic event is
expected to be the talks between
Mr.. Molotov and the Big Three
Western foreign ministers on
plans for the top-leyel meeting
of the chiefs of government in
Geneva July 18. The four-power
talks will open here Monday.
Secretary of State Dulles. Brit
ish Foreign Secretary Harold
Macmillan and French Foreign
Minister Antoine Pinay viii ar
rive by plane tomorrow from
their strategy meetings in New
York.
If the Soviet Foreign Minister
follows the recent friendly pat
tern. there should not be too
much difficulty in arranging an
agenda for the Geneva confer
: ence. The controlled Soviet
press, however. has indicated
strong opposition to United
States demands that the future
of the satellite countries should
be discussed. If this question
is pushed. it may prove a tough
one.
" Will Go on TV Show
However. other bits of eVi-
, dence support the view that the
Russians are ready to push hard
to create a good public impress
, sion. One is Mr.. Molotov's de-
! cision to go on a Nationwide
television show (CBS Face the
