This week we honor the gra-
duates of Lexington High
School who will receive their
diplomas Friday evening in the
first commencement exercise to
be held in the new w. B. Ken
Ma auditorium.
The Rev. Frederick c. Fowler,
pastor of the Lexington Pres
byterian Church, delivered the
in%spirational baccalaureate SER
mon on Sunday in the tradi-
tional community service held
at the First Baptist Church.
God has created you and put
you here on earth for a task"
Mr.. Fowler told, the seniors and
the large aSSemblage.
Using as his text What Is
That in. Thine Hand?" the
young minister urged the SEN
Tors to surrender their lives to
God. He said the only perma-
nent things we have are those
we have given to God and get
back from Him; that God calls
each of us today to holy living,
Christian testimony and service
and to work in His vineyard.
He pointed to many. great
characters in the Bible and
world history who earned their
places because they surrender
ed what they had to God.
Each of us has in our hands
our own life which we can use
as we see fit, he said, and what
we do with it depends upon
the individual.
God has created you for a
purpose and only you can do
the task He has selected fol
you.
at is not what can l do?'
but is what l have dedicated
to God?' that counts" he said,

Supervisors Will Issue $L,|35,0OO In Bonds

at any time within a period Of
two years.
The action of the board on
the matter was unanimous with
Supervisor L. G. (Clower) john
son of Lexington offering and
moving the adoption Of tn e
resolution on the matter anC
Supervisor 0. R. (Ray) Camp
bell of Durant seconding the
motion.
Funds to be expended by the
supervisors may be allocated to
each of the five districts based
upon the mileage in each dis
trict, although this is not a GER
tainty.
The bonds will be retired
with state-aid funds obtained
from the STATE in the future as
the county receives them over
a period of the next 20 years.
State-aid tax money is de
rived from gasoline tax and
sales tax money.
Districts one, two and three
have about 800 miles of road
in each while districts four and
five have approximately half as
many.
There is no plan on record
as to how many miles of road
will be built or which roads
in the county will be built, one
of the supervisors told The Ad-
vertiser. 1t will not necessitate
a tax increase, the supervisor
said, all funds coming from the
state.
Work plans will be made al
ter the bonds have been issued
in the maximum full amour
otainable.
The Hon. H. H. Johnson, at
torney for the Board of Super
viscrs, told The Advertiser tina
he idea of issuing the full
81, 1875, 000.O0 in bonds i'm
mediately is to make it pos
sible to build the roads all at
once instead of piece-meal.
Holmes County received
about $3.50, 10000 in state-aie
funds last year.
To date no road bonds have
been issued in Holmes County
under the state-aid program.

Engineers would object because
of navigational hazards.
Furthermore, the bottom of
Chesapeake Bay raises peculiar
problems. There are few rocks
except oyster rock, and all the
we'll known fishing spots such
as the Gooses or The Hill are
merely hard oyster grounds.
Failure in MagOthy
Adding more oyster shells to
form an artificial reef failed
to improve the fishing in the
Magothy River last summer
On the other hand, it did i'm
prove it in an experiment in
Chincoteague Bay.
Because of these opposite
findings, biologists want q
more thorough test before ad-
vocating any reefs for Chesa-
peake Bay.
Meantime, artificial reef
building continues up and
down the coast and because OF
the many questions over meth
ods and materials, the matter
was discussed at a recent meet
ing of the Atlantic States
Fisheries Commission.
There it was decided to move
for a conference to decide upon
some real standards.

Speedboat racing drivers have
always been conscious of deli
cate boat balance. They know
that a shift of their body
weight only a few inches fore
and aft can cause an increase
or decrease in boat speed. A
shift in weight, too, will change
the trim Of a boat and will
alter it's riding characteristics.
I know of one marathon
4Acer who had his 20-gallon
fuel tank mounted on rails so
that as the Six-pounds-per-
gallon load was consumed the
tank could be shifted to main
tain boat trim. Other marathon
racers have used ingenious
lash-ups of scoops, valves and
hoses to fill water ballast tanks
or release ballast underway to
compensate for altered surface
conditions during a race.
Boat balance isn't limited to
the racer. Proper trim is vital
to efficient performance of any
small craft. The typical small
boat that weighs, including its
power installation, 1000 pounds
or less is far more sensitive to
weight balance than many boat
operators realize.
\
I recently helmed a 17-toot
rundbout powered by an 30
horse poWer inbodrd-out-
board installation. At q
com Portable cruising speed of
IS miles per hour, a differ
ence in mater speed indicator
reading of one and one halt
miles an hour occurred tDhen
my passenger shifted from
the front seat to the aft
cockpit seat. Naturally not
all bodtmen are interested
in speed and the difference
of one and one halt miles
per hour at a 25-nile per
hour pace may seem of little
importance.
Yet, the shift in Weight
balance to a more efficient
trim completely changed the
boats steering character
istics. We Uere operating on
mater NTH mired choppy

Ueioht to the rear, the boat
