County Agent Many of the Laurens County 4-H Clubs have been working on a beautification project this summer. Approximately 15 years ago the 4-H and Exten sion Homemakers Club pur chased signs to greet drivers as they enter Laurens County. The signs were erected and have been maintained by 4-H Club members. These signs are placed on most of the main highways as you cross into Laurens County. The 4-H Clubs are in the pro cess of reworking these signs through the summer. All of the signs needed painting and sev eral required a new board or post. Some of the signs had trees or bushes growing up and hiding them. The next time you leave the county and return look for one of these signs sfxm after you cross the county line. It is hoped that persons coming into the county will get a good first impress ion when they see a freshly painted sign welcoming safe drivers. Rev.

An uncovered stair way will, in time, develop treads that are badly worn along the edges. When an edge of a tread begins to splinter away or is badly worn down, chisel out a re cess in this worn spot and glue in a new piece of hard wood. Plane the new piece flush with the original con tour of the tread and refinish to match. If the tread is too badly damaged, remove it entirely and use it as a pat tern to cut a new one. Fasten the new one in position with screws. GOT YOU BUGGED? With our new Amermac tire truing and wheel balancing equipment your wheel vi bration bugs are gone for good.
