here from all parts of the state.
The big event was held on Christ

rattling good shoot was held. The
prize was for a twenty-five pound
turkey and the winner was Ed

they had a cordwood fire and all

whole question. So he rugged up

public quickly. He fastened emp

to farm wagon and this outfit
drawn by ten or twelve horses

drag and in short time the road
from Colt to Townsend was open

VETS CAN MAKE EXTRA
PAYMENTS ON LOANS

Veterans having Gil loans on
their homes, farms or businesses
can make extra payments to the
lenders at any time, or can pay
off the entire loan without a
penalty charge. Veterans Admin
iStration announced in response
to numerous inquiries.
The minimum extra payment a
veteran may make on his loan,
VA said. is at least the amount
of one months payment. or flat
Sl0O.
If a veteran who makes eX-
ira payments in accordance with
this proviso wishes to, he may
have the extra principal reap
piled later to regular payments,
provided the lender agrees. The
purpose of this arrangement
would be TO prevent the loan
! from going into default at some
/ future time, should the veteran
later become hard pressed for
money to meet future regular
payments.
About 100000 GI loans have
already been repaid in full since
| the beginning of the VA loan pro
gram in 1916. This represents a
bout one out of every five loans
guaranteed or insured by VA.
Q-IS it possible to collect CT
unemployment pay at the same
time I am enrolled in school un-
der the Korean GI Bill? Since l
am in school, l am not working.
A-No. it is not possible, under
the law. to obtain CT unemploy-
nent allowances while you are
enrolled in training under the
Korean GI Bill. Although you
may not be working, you are
drawing monthly GI training al
lowances from the Government.

somehow failed to send VA his
annual income QUESTIONABLE. AS
result. his pension has been
stopped. II he now sends the
queStionnaire to VA. and if his
income is below the legal maxi
mum, will the payments be re-
Sumed?
Aft he returns the question:
naire within one year from the
date it was originally sent to him,
he will receive his pension pay
ments all the way back to the
date they were cut off. If he
waits longer than one year. the
payments will begin as of the date
of receipt of the questionable
OF the date a new claim is filed
All this presupposes that the
veterans income is below the le-
cal maximum for a pension.
Q-I am entitled to increased
disability compensation pay by
reason of my dependents. What
does VA consider as the effective
date of those increased pay
mentS?
A-T'he effective date of in
creased payments because of de-
pendents is the date on which
VA receives evidence establishing
entitlement to the extra pay.

Flot Groin Hybrid
Shortage Is Cited

Experimental data collected by
the North Carolina Agricultural
Experiment Station show that
round grains of hybrid corn may
be expected to yield as much as
flat grains, according to A. D.
Stuart, extension agronomy spe-
cialiSt at State College.
Stuart says that it is quite pos
sible that there will not be enough
flat grades to go around this sea-
son because of the severe drought
in many corn growing areas last
summer. In that event. farmers
should not hesitate to use the
round-grained hybrid corn.
Round grade corn usually sells
for one to two dollars per bushel
less than flat grades This differ
ence in cost per bushel will buy
The planting plate, that will be
necessary to plant the round
grades of corn, Stuart said.
He added that these plates can
be purchased locally. They will
plant the round just as accurately
as the usual plates plant the flat
kernels. If necessary, the cells of a
plate may be filed lightly to i'm
prove the drop of seed corn.
Stuart pointed out that recon-
mended lists of hybrids for North
Carolina can be secured at county
agents office or by writing the
Agricultural Extension Service,

To Drive Automobile?

you knowingly place a keg Of
dynamite in the hands of your
teen-age sons and daughterS?"
The question was put to the
parents of North Carolina this
week by Joe w. Garrett. assistant
motor vehicles commissioner.
There isn't a parent in the
state who wouldn't Indignantly
answer MOI to this question, y
Garrett said. Yet many parents
turn over to their children the
keys to the family car, weapon
as potentially destructive as a
quantity of high explosive, with
out giving a thought to the
youngsters fitness to drive"
Garrett made it clear he is not
opposed to the driving of cars by
teen-agerS in general. What he
deploreS is the practice of allow
ing irresponsible or poorly in
Structed young people to drive as
they choose, jeopardizing their
own lives an dthe lives of others.
The youthful driver who is ma
ture in his Judgment. we'll in

Cally safe car is Just as safe a
driver as an older person similar
ly equipped Garrett pointed out.
He emphasized that the reSpon-
Sibility for molding the child
into such driver rests largely
with the parents.
Safe driving education is COM
pounded of one part instruction
and one part example," Garrett
said. Parents should be con-
scious that they are educating
for safe or unsafe driving every
time they take the wheel in their
children'S presence"
Garrett warned parents to sat
isfy themselves on the following
points before allowing a teen
aged boy or girl to drive alone
l. The young person should be
mentally and emotionally mature
enough to handle a car.
2. He should have received
competent driver training and
fully understand the traffic laws
and regulations of the locality.
3. The car he drives (either his
own or the family carr should be
in perfect mechanical condition.

Roadside Parks
In Nc Ready For
Tourist Season

RALEIGH - In readiness for
the widespread use this summer
of h e states twenty roadside
parks. work has started on re-
novating three of them. Highway
Chairman A. H. Graham said to
day.
Permanent. modern restroom
facilities are being installed at
three parks: the one on US II in
Craven County between Vance
boro and New Bern: the one on
US 42l in Sampson County, north
of Delway: and the other on
Us 10 in Jackson County, west
of Soco Gap. The work should
be completed in time for use of
the parks this summer.
Graham said a beautiful road
side park had Just been built on
the new four-laned mountain
highway tUS TO- between Old
Fort and RidgecreSt. 1t is located
in cool wooded cove adjacent
to the highway.
Motorists who stop and use the
parks were urged by Graham to
leave the parks as clean and neat
as they find them. There are
covered metal garbage cans for
disposal of refuse. He said there
was some vandalism and deStruc-
ton of the park facilities last
summer and he hoped it would
not be repeated this year. He
stressed that the parks are for the
pleasure and convenience of
everyone. not just few care
less individuals.

The recent freeze has done un-

fruits and ornamental shrubs. In
many cases, as for example in the
case of shrubs and trees, it will be
difficult to estimate the full eX-
tent of the damage until warm
weather returns and new growth
is put out. Then we may get busy
and prune out all the wood that
has been killed or so badly dam
aged that it Will not recover. The

ON MAIN HIGHWAY

All twenty of the roadside parks
IN the state are located on main
highways which carry heavy traf-
flc. Each is usually located in a
wooded grove and has a protected
drinking water supply, reStroomS,
picnic tables and benches. and
outdoor fireplaceS.
Back in 1949. tie Highway
Commission recognized that the
recreation-trav industry was
greatly dependent on the states
$1,000 mile road system. A Joint
Highway Commission ConServa-
ton and Development Board
Committee made thorough
study of roadside development.
-Four experimental parks set up
in Bladen. Camden. Sampson and
Cumberland Counties immediate
ly proved popular. Then in 1851,
the General Assembly passed en-
abling legislation for the estab-
hshment of roadside parks
throughout the state.
Since then, the Highway Com
missions Landscape Engineering
Department under the capable di-
lection Of F. H Brant. has stud
led. determined the best locations
and set up roadside parks. scenic
tmnouts and picnic tables.
All the roadside parks are built

must be located within two to five
miles from the limits of a city or
town. As safety measure, the
entire roadside park area must
be opened to view from the high
way, with no low branch trees
or tall shrubs to block vision As
a rule. there is a 9raSSed strip
separating the highway from the
park driveway and parking lot.
Graham said the parks are To-
