Duplin Court House Bell Tolls on Though Tree, Which has been its Home for Many Years is Cut away The Duplin county court house bell continues to toll... for. courts andother Important county doings though it no longer hangs in the tree on the north side of the court house, which was -its home for many years. Recently the tree was found to be so badly decayed that it was not thought safe. The bell, which weighs .211 pounds, was taken from the tree and has been mounted on a standard by the door on the north :-side, of the court house. In the old Duplin county court house, which was torn down In 19U for the erection of the pres ent structure, there was a bell cup ola, in which a brass bell, which tolled out calls to court for many years," was hung. When the , old court house equipment was sold the bell was sold along with the other equipment to a fanner some where in the county. (It might be interesting to know Just -where the bell is now.- -. No plans were made for instat ing a bell in the new court house but a bell was purchased to hang at the post office, to ring when the mail was brought in. Gradual ly the use of this bell was discon tinued, and the county, in need of a Bell, this bell was brought to the court house, and hung in the tree, where it has served its pur pose for the past 15 or. 20 years.

In Duplin dounty, under the direc tion of the farm agent, is organ ized to grow and harvest this . year's crops in the face of war time difficulties and shortages of labor. Three new farm labor as sistants have been employed to aid the farm agent's staff. They are Ralph Carlton of Kenansville, ' and Richard Pickett of Beula villa. - Miss Martha Jones has been em- !I)loyed as a clerical worker, The county has been fortunate in securing the aid of 337 migrant workers, who are now employed in the secti&n aound Mt. Ohva, ' mostly in harvesting the bean and . fiptato crops. These workers are Helping in both Duplin and Wayne Mr. Jones said this week that he felt this county "was fortunate in securing this many workers. : Emphasis has been placed on the farm labor swap program in order to get crops planted, grown and harvested. Under the law passed by Con gress placing the farm labor pro gram with extension service the county agent directs the farm labor program. Congress set up . appropriations and machinery for the farm labor program, but did not create a labor pool. . G. E. Jones, Duplin farm agent says that approximately 95 per cent of farm labor problems will have to, of necessity, be solved by swapping labor and machinery with neighbor farmers. Neighborhood and community leaders are expected to render val uable service to their county by providing information about their neighbors and assisting in devel oping swap labor programs. A Farm Labor Advisory com mittee has been set up with an executive committee. This ' com- ' mittee comprises civic and agri- cultural organizations in the coun- ty, who can be of much value to j the farm agent in carrying out the labor program. . . The Fain (security administra tion. United States Employment, Service and the Extension Service are-all cooperating in securing and keeping farm labor. ; . Under the new employment sta bilization plan, farm workers' in Duplin couniy can not leave the county for work elsewhere with out securing from the farm agent a statement of availability. In or der to issue this the farm agent must lirst ascertain If the worker . can be released from the farm on liicU he employed. Crops in tne county generally are in good condition, tne farm agent said, and though in some ' cases grass has grown rapidly, n. is mostly well under control, v So far, very little of this year's food crops have been lost. In the town of Beulaville a num ber of women have volunteered to lelp harvest crops, but tn only one instance was their help needed. J. C. Chestnut Dies Suddenly From Heart Attack .
