Southern Pines is due to get $29,856 and Pinehurst, $19,380.

Garrison, and the Welfare Department, officials of the two services going into con siderable details with, chickens, cows, dewberry prospects figuring prominently in the first report and the ills nf the aged and the orphaned in the second. “What can we do about egg prices? How can we regulate them? What can be done about the surpluses?” were questions put by Commissioner John Currie to J. D. Allen, the department’s chicken expert. Drying and preserving the eggs seemed to be the only answer to a situation that is .admittedly a stumper: “After all,” said the agent, “Everything that has feath ers on it is just going to lay more eggs in the spring.” Reports of 4-H work were given by J. A. Dinan, of the Extension Service, and Mrs. Muse, assistant to Miss Flora McDonald. The former stressed the growing inter est in sheep raising among the young people. Mr. Dinan also de scribed a new type of hay shed being built near West End under the guidance of James Parker of the state agriculture department and spoke highly of the help giv en the county service by the state official. Miss McDonald followed with word of hep Home Demonstration Club’s activities. She put in a strong plea for the development of another market, this one to be lo cated in Aberdeen. Miss Freda McNeil, agent\ for the Negro clubs, spoke with en thusiasm of the fine cooperation she is getting from leaders and members. The nine 4-H clubs al ready established are going ahead full steam, she said. There have also been 11 Home Demonstration club meetings with as many as 80 attending a recent one on garden ing, addressed by a state speaker. A plea for a Negro farm agent was made by Charles of Carthage, who pointed out how successfully Miss McNeil was car rying on her wprk. He was back ed up by others present who agreed that farm work with the boys should be encouraged. “Our boys need the 4-H clubs, too,” they said and expressed the belief that “people would not mind paying the taxes to get such help, if they got the help.” Mrs. W. B. Cole presented the report of the Welfare Department port of the Welfare Department which she heads. She said that, though the load of relief cases might have lightened a little since her last report, unemployment seemed to be still on the increase. bringing many calls for help. Individual cases on the relief roll were discussed, and the large amount — approximately $3,000— spent for hospitalization during the past two months; also the number of cases that must be tak en care of at nursing homes out of the county because of lack of county facilities. Worker for ihe Blind Acquisition by her department of a new case worker for the blind was announced by Mrs. Cole, in Miss Gladys Tatley of Statesville. Miss Tatley, who is partially blind herself, has been working in ^01' JTqi* SllTlfirlV Richmond County and will now J work, he explained, was being done entirely by the students themselves. The commissioners voted to allow the board the use of district funds, to be replaced later from the capital outlay for school construction.. The balance^of the meeting was taken up with passing on county bills as presented by Miss Maida Jenkins, of the auditing depart ment. lie to attend. Soloists will be Wesley Stoltz of Sanford, Joe Cameron of Man ly, Miss Ross Maples of Raleigh, and, from Southern Pines, Miss Carolyn Hoskins, Dr. David Whitehead and'^^rs. Bryan Poe. Vesper Service spend three days a week in Moore. The new worker’s salary , was al ready included in the present budget. Mrs. Cole closed her report with a repetition of the plea often made before, for a county child welfare worker. She asked that the com missioners consider this serious need now, in order that the state might aid in locating applicants for this position for the coming year. However, even though it was explained that, for the first year, at least, the county would have to pay nothing, with the state carrying the full salary for this position, little hope was held out by the commissioners for this addition to the staff. Following adjournment for lunch, and a meeting with the ABC board (reported elsewhere) the commissioners heard reports of the health officer. Dr. J. W. Wilcox on the rabies situation, and his earnest plea that the com missioners do something about the stray dog situation, seconded by your reporter, who spoke of the increase in stray dogs in this vi cinity with much criticism being voiced of this danger and nui sance. Mr. J. C. Muse, county auditor, who was present, stated that 3000 dogs were on pe tax list. Dr. Willcox also described the recent county X-ray tests, at which 14,346 small plates were made and 400 individuals referred for larger X-rays. No figures of results of the countywide survey were yet available. Praise was given to Drs. Neal and McLean for their efficient service in inoculating dogs for rabies. Chairman Cameron stat ed that he believed the good rec ord of the county to date might well be due to the excellence of their efforts. Mr. John Taylor, chairman of the Pinehurst school board, ap peared with School Principal Lewis S. Cannon to explain how district funds had been used by the board to buy materials used by Negro students in building at the Academy Heights school. Tl^e construction included a shop building, extra rooms and fire proofing the basement. It was hoped also to add a cafeteria even tually, Mr. Taylor said. The A vesper candlelight service of music by the combined adult, youth and junior choirs, directed by Mrs. L. D. McDonald, will be held at the Church of Wide Fel lowship at 4:30 p. m.
