BECLAVILLE'S FIRST TOWN HALL - Citizens in Beulaville are requesting the old town hall, vacated in October of 1982, be renovated for use as a library. A committee of Beulaville town commissioners Elvis Sumner and S.A. Blizzard prepared estimates and recommended the old building not be renovated, but a new structure be constructed if a need exists for additional space. The old town hall was constructed in 1954. Renovation Of Beulaville Town Hall Cracked walls and rotting ceiling. Some Beulaville citi zens are requesting the old tojvn hall, a condemned structure, be renovated. The old town hall has been empty since October 1982. The old town hall was built in 1954. According to minutes from Beulaville Town Board meetings. Com missioner Cecil Miller made a motion to build a town hall with space to house the fire equipment. The motion was approved with the town paying for building materials atid requesting free labor from Beulaville citizens. Land for the building was purchased from Addie BO/zard. ?"The county building esaminer has said the build ing is not worth renovating," Mayor Wilbur Hussey said. "It is made of cinder block and they have cracked. The top and ceiling will have to be replaced and the wiring and it needs to be insu lated." According to Hussey, the town of Beulaville is financially able to renovate the building or rebuild, if a need is established for the structure. A two-man com mittee of Beulaville town commissioners reported $23,640 would be needed to renovate the old town hall. Commissioners Elvis Sumner and S.A. Blizzard recom mended the old town hall be torn down and replaced with a new building 24 ft. x 30 ft. if the need existed for addi tional space. Suggested uses for the renovated building include the town library and office space for the driver's license examiner. "1 can't see tearing down to build a smaller building." Beulaville Citizens' Renova tion Committee Chairman Carl Pate said. "If the new building yields the same or more space. I might recom mend a new structure. But, with the sentimental value attached to the old town hall by the people who helped build it, 1 don't see tearing down and replacing it with a smaller structure." The old town hall includes about 1,600 square feet. Pate said. The building is approxi mately 40 feet by 40 feet. "The committee is going to take a look at the town hall and see what can be done. We can use the space if we had it for a library and the drivers license examiner's office. And. some of the people who had a hand in building the old town hall have said they would hate to see it torn down." Carl Pate. Sara Bolin and Anna Guy are serving on the committee of Beulaville citi zens requesting the old town hall be renovated. "If the only use will be for a library." Mayor Hussey said, "then it will take a long time to get our money back if the old town hall is reno vated." The Beulaville library is located next to the Lighthouse Christian Book store on Highway 24. The library pays $90 rent for the building it occupies. "If the people of Beulaville want a building, then, judging from the figures turned in by the commissioners, it would be better to build a new struc ture. In terms of dollars and cents, 1 don't know if it's justified to renovate." Commissioners S.A. Blizzard and Elvis Sumner turned in the following reno vation estimates during the town board meeting in Feb ruary: trusses, $1,440; sheathing. $500; shingles, $600; gables and overhang. $800; fill in doors, $1,000; ceiling. $1,500; panel wall and strip. $2,000; insulation. $600; wiring. $1,500; bath rooms. $3,500: doors and windows. $500; paint. $700; labor. $9,000; for a total of $23,640. "Within the next month we (renovation committee) hope to come up with reno vation estimates," Carl Pate said. "The labor figure turned in by the Commis sioners looks high and maybe the bathrooms might be done at a lower cost. But it could be when we get our esti mates we will find they are in line with the figures turned in by the town commis sioners." "It's kind of a landmark," Sara Bolin, member of the citizens' renovation com mittee said. "The old town hall is one of the older buildings in town and it has served as a meeting place for the Scouts and as a fire house. It was the first town hall the town ever built and 1 think there is a lot of strong feeling about the building."

AGING Facts & Fancies The poet Robert Brown ing looked forward to old age as a time free of illness and pain, and, 25 years before his death, he wrote. 'Grow old along with me/ The best is yet to be." But if you are like most people, you probably be lieve that growing old means inevitable mental decline into senility. This is just not so. Se nility? medically called de mentia?is not a normal part of aging. Indeed, most people who survive into old age never ex perience significant memory loss, confusion, disorien tation, personality changes or other symptoms of dementia. In the past, research ers believed the primary cause of senile dementia was hardening of the ar teries and subsequent re duced blood flow to the brain. Further research sheds new light on this grey area. A decrease in function of cells in the brain may be the primary cause. For those with a con firmed diagnosis of senile dementia, there is a drug that can improve their over all mental status, particular ly such symptoms as loss of short-term memory, con fusion and dizziness. The medication is Hydergine, believed to have a direct effect on the functioning of brain cells. When given in the early stages of the disease, Hydergine, pro duced by Sandoz Pharma ceuticals, can often produce a gradual improvement of brain cell function. As a result, many patients af flicted with senile demen tia do not deteriorate as fast. Many of the elderly, coping with physical prob lems, may feel Browning's "tha best" is too optimia ?T tic. However, as the facts sho?", he was more ac curate than the common beliefs.

Br Emily KUIette The payment-in-kind (PIK) program was well received by countv farmers. Duplin County Agricultural Stabili zation director David English said 43 percent of Duplin farms have been en rolled in the corn P1K pro gram. The P1K program allowed farmers to sign up to reduce corn and grain sorghums, cotton and rice acreage and receive payment-in-kind.The sign-up program began Jan. 24 and ended March 11. Farmers in P1K agreed to participate in the regular set aside programs before en rolling in payment-in-kind. Duplin has enrolled 3,121 farms planting 90.068 acres of com, ASCS figures indi :ate. ' Through the regular set-aside and PIK programs, 31,038 acres of Duplin's corn-producing farmland will be idle. Duplin farmers will be earning 1,139.383 bushels of corn from government stored stock, English said. A smaller percentage of farmers producing wheat crops signed up for payment - in-kind. Duplin has 542 farms eligible to participate in wheat PIK and 181 signed up. The total wheat base in Duplin is 14,262 acres and only 2,400 will be idle under the PIK program, English pointed out. County wheat farmers will earn a total of 37.000 bushels from govern ment-stored stock, ASCS figures show. "PIK is a real good pro gram for farmers," ASCS director David English said. "Farmers will realize imme diate returns and more in come than from crops pro duced on the farm. At the same time, we are using up some of the surplus grain which will, hopefully, get production and market demand back into balance." Duplin had no farmers sign up for PIK in cotton or rice crops. Under the PIK program farmers must idle land on which small grain or row crops have been harvested in two out of the past three years. According to English, entire fields or areas within a large field measuring five acres or more can be idled. A cover crop can be planted on idle land, but English pointed out that no harvest ing can be done on idle lands under the PIK program. And. idle lands cannot be graze^^tjMT^^Agril September 30. Farmers from Duplin will be receiving grains from one of eleven designated PIK stations in Duplin or ad joining counties. Within Duplin. PIK stations are Murphy's in Rose Hill and Calypso. Carroll's of Warsaw and the Wallace FCX. Among the 1.344 farms en rolled in the corn PIK pro I gram, 361 designated their total corn acreage. Duplin ASCS figures show. Accord ing to English, corn prices are currently a dollar higher than at harvest tinje last fall when prices were S2.05 to S2.12. "P1K is a good program for the farmer, but it will hurt fertilizer, chemical, seed and machinerv dealers," English said. "The P1K program plus the tobacco acreage is shorter this year, which will hurt some businesses. But, hopefully this year will get us back in balance, where the price of grain will become competitive." Payment -in kind has been approved for 1984 if a need is determined for the program, English added. , Halley's Comet's spectacular tail is about 37 million miles long.
