two others for additions to exist
ing homes.
The remaining two permits
valued together at $26, 900, cover
ed commercial work One was
issued to Brickert Oil Company
for construction of a building on
North Main street. The other
was secured by Howard Enter
prises for completion of another

on High street, near Main.
The total value of new dwell

April Was A Month OF Weather
Variety: Hot, Cold, Wet, Dry

good year, Such frostnipping is
not unusual for April.
Striplln also pointed out that
we had frost three mornings this
week. which is unusual for May
This frost was not too heavy and
damage has been held to a mini
mum. The coolest day of April
was the 18th with a reading of
10 degrees.
With plenty Of water in the
ground. the outlook for crops is
good. Some growers have COM
planned of spotty tobacco plants,
but the overall outlook is for suf-
ficient plants. Striplin estimated.
Pine Sawfly
The pine saWfly larVa is still
working at its insidious sob of
eating all the pine needles in the
county. Entomologists are work
ing with several strains of virus
diseases to help combat the saw
fly. and The advice from all quar-
ters is not TO panic and sell pines
at a loss but to hold on and hope
for the best,
Some estimate that defollated
trees will have rev needles out
by mud summer and it will be
hard to tell that the attacked
trees were ever eaten. In some
cases of severely denuded tres.
case histories show they are apt
to succumb later to attacks by
secondary enemies that swoop
down on the weakened trees.
Spraying with arsenate of lead
or DOT is highly effective on the
saWfly. but this is not very prac-
teal on large timber stands. The
advice is still "Sit tight, wait
and see."

April. And on top of that the

April rainfall followed a pat

That is a pattern of above aver

weather reporter, totaled 429
inches compared with a normal

Rain came in crowds, with a
mild dry spell sandwiched in be-

Then began a dry spell that was
broken by the traditional April
showers beginning April %.

LCCets Good
Deal On Tearing
Down Old Homes
New Rotunda
Project Stands
Near Completion

The current demolition project
at Longwood College represents
one Of the best sealed bids the
college has received on a job
To get two buildings, one or
High and one on Ely street, torn
down cost the college nothing
AS a matter of record. Alfred
Scott, a local Negro citizen, is
paving the college $500 for the
privilege of tearing down the
two houses in exchange for the
materials in them.
No Plans For Sites
j. H. Wamsley, business man
ager of the college, said today
there were no immediate plans
for use of the two lots being
cleared. He said the High street
area would probably be graded
VIXEN grading around tn e
Wheeler dormitory is begun. The
next dormitory will be located
some 40 feet back from High
street where the old Booker
property is being demolished.
However, the business man
ager pointed out that the San
ford house, which is located near
the one being torn down on High
street. would not be torn down
until nearer the time the site
is needed for the new dormitory
EyesOre Removal
The tearing down of house
ON Ely street between Madison
and Chambers is being done
solely to remove an 'eyesore,
according to the business man
ager.
Demolition of the buildings be-
gan last week, the bids being
accepted on the 26th T h G
project must be completed with
in 80 days.
Elsewhere on the campus,
the detours around the Rotunda
will cease this Saturday, al
though the renovation project
there is not complete. The con-
struction firm of Andrews Large
and Whidden have completed the
obligations of a $14.21l contract,
which was primarily for re-
placement of flooring in the
Rotunda.
All that remains for the face
uplifting is the completion of
painting and installation of light
fixtures by college maintenance
forces. That phase of the prof.
ect is expected to be ended by
next week end, although tn e
area will be cleaned up to pro-
vide for its use in connection
with the May Day dance this
week end.
Carpets and new furniture will
be placed in the Rotunda to
complete the project. The bust
ness manager is hopeful t h
both may be placed before
graduation, but is not certain
because of a delay in obtaining
the carpet ordered.
