Board (Continued from Page 1) Street Methodist church, also lo cated in the same block, said that his church was in favor of the property being rezoned funeral home only or remain residential. Hie board decided to put the lots in question in the “restricted commercial area” clasnMication, zoning it for funeral home use only, and further staled that the zoning ordinance relative to use of signs shall be complied with in that area. According to town attorney Claud Wheatly, the funeral home moved there from the causeway after Donna and neighbors signed a statement saying they had no ob jection to its location there. The business area on Cedar street was widened from 110 feet to 220 feet on both the north and south side of the street. Mayor W. H. Potter, prior to the board’s action, read a statement recom mending that the proposal be sent back to the zoning commission. The commission had recommend ed that the business zone be widen ed. Mayor Potter said he was speak ing as a private citizen and felt that property owners along Cedar street would not be in a position “to pay taxes on business proper ty.” The mayor said he had no objection to widening the business zone where “business is already set to go.” Mr. Taylor said that he is a property owner on Cedar street and a business depth of 110 feet is too little to encourage business peo ple to acquire the property. He suggested that if property values are increased, people who may not be able to pay the taxes would sell and thereby open the area for business development. “The price people are asking for property on Cedar street is exorbi tant,” Mr. Taylor said, “and if you let them go on owning it for nothing, they’ll keep it and it never will be opened for development.” The town attorney commented that taxes are based on market value, not zoning. (The county tax office states that the way an area is zoned does not always af fect property valuation. If vacant property is in a business zone, it is considered business property; if a home is in an area zoned for business, it is given a residential valuation.) It was pointed out that Front street property, on the water side, is decreasing in value, and the town would do well to compensate for the tax loss in other areas, if feasible. The board went into executive session to make its decision. The decision for rezoning the area to business for 220 feet on either slfre of the street was unanimous. Attending the hearing, in addi tion to those mentioned, were town commissioners John Jones, Frank Morning, Earl Mades, W. R. Ham ilton; Manly Mason, Henry White, H. D. Paul, Gerald Woolard, B. J. May, Glenn Adair, and the Rev. Billy Mobley. A googol, in mathematics, is the figure 1 followed by 100 zeroes. I WM a eouagy-wide m Develop ment Fond campaign getting un der way, I (eel sure many people will want to know “just what 4-H is all about." For this reason, I plan to review, through this ar ticle, some fifty years of 4-H club work in North Carolina. This will take several “continued’’ articles and will require a few weeks to complete the story. The “big county-wide 4-H proj ect” mentioned above is a fund raising campaign lor the prime purpose of raising funds to build a 4-H camp in this county. A site for the proposed camp has been selected and approved by the state 4-H camp site selection committee. The site is a 125 acre tract of land bordered by Adams Creek, located near Merrimon. The proposed camp will house 150 4-H boys and girls per week for a period of at least 10 weeks each summer. A drawing of this camp was on the front page of the Nov. 24 issue of THE NEWS TIMES.

Boys and girls are warned to be good because the all-seeing Hotei osho knows everything they are doing. Powerful Amount Niagara Falls, N. Y.

Some 200,000 new residences have gone up in West Berlin since the end of World War II. Every usable scrap of rubble from Allied bomb ings went into the rebuilding. The rest, piled in huge mounds, was planted with flowers and grass to provide hilly park scenery. « HILL'S, Inc. || Known for Good Clothes JJ WISHES j Everyone Season’s H H * GREETINGS * XHXHXHXHXHXH 4-H Devctaymeat (Mid.
