Bunn Sets
80-Cent Rate
The Town of Bunn has set its new
tax levy at 80 cents on the $100
valuation with increases shown in ail
budget items except lights and power.
Its estimated income includes an in
crease in ABC Store profits and slight
ly less than $200 rise in ad valorem
taxes.
Administration and Powell Bill Sur
vey take the biggest bite out of the
new increases. Administration climbs
to $3,178.15 or $593.15 over last
year's $2,585.00. The Mayor and
Town Council salaries remain the same
but the clerk rises from $400 to $600.
Office supplies and insurance, legal
and auditing take the balance of the
increases in this department.
The Powell Bill Survey, budgeted
last year for $25, is included in the
1969-70 budget at $525. Sanitation
climbs from $1,250 to $1,400 and
Cemetery upkeep jumps from $150 to
$300. Repairs to the ABC Store build
ing remained at the $500 set last year.
Emergency and Contingency is raised
from last year's $1,500 to $2,193.49
or an increase of $693.49.
The total budget is $16,216.64 and
last year's budget was $14,210.00. ?

thank us for the training we give their
sons". He adds, however, 'There are
those who are unhappy with us be
cause we don't let Johnny go running
home when little sister has a birth
day." He says that when an emergency
arises in an immediate family, liberty
regulations may be relaxed.
Cadets are allowed weekend liberty
only once a month ordinarily, he says
and those with a below C average are
restricted to their dormitories when
on-campus events are taking place.
Jerry Inscoe received his early reli
gious training from his parents, one of
the most respected couple* in this
section of the state. His own ability,
drive and determination combined
with a background of life's true values
has led this Franklin native to a
position of leadership and one which is
giving worthy guidance to some 400
young men each year.
How To Have A Safer Summer
New York (NAPS) -- Sum

otherwise happy holidays are
ruined by highway hazards.

What causes the accidents?
Surprisingly, statistics on
"injury acciu 'ts" reveal that
the chief factor is not speed
but failure to yield the right
of way. Following closely be
hind another car is the second
biggest cause of "injury acci
dents" in urban areas, third in
rural area? In the area of
auto deaths, recent investiga
tions have*shown that, next
to speed, driving left of cen
ter kills more people than
anything else.
Certainly the best way to
ensure a safer summer is to
wear seat belts, either the
conventional lap design, or,
better yet, the improved lap
and shoulder type.
Safety experts at the Uni
on Carbide Corporation have
sent in a number of other
suggestions to promote safe
summer driving.
Be alert to psychological
as well as physical causes of
accidents. Impatience with
the slowpoke or righteoiis an
ger at the roadhog . . . failure
to realize the potential seri
ousness of "little" acci
dents . . assuming that an
experienced driver "automati
cally" does the right thing in
an emergency-these are some
of the most common and
deadly psychological driving
hazards.
Hot, dry conditions and
wide open spaces induce
drowsiness, and long flat
stretches play tricks on the
eyes. Moderate speed, addi

To prevent an engine from

keep a close watch on the

Make sure, before setting out,
that your serviceman adds an

"Prestone" anti-leak formula,
which is particularly effective
in air-conditioned cars. Auto
mobile makers, by the way,
do not recommend frequent
coolant level checks for their
newer models, since removing
the radiator cap from a hot

is spewed over the person

over the front of the car.

Franklin Gets EDA Designation
S. Kenneth Schubart, Industrial De
velopment Director, announced today
that Franklin County has been de
signated a county eligible for the
Economic Development Administra
tion programs. Schubart said that un
der a similar designation last year, the
Town of Bunn qualified for a 50
percent grant for a water project and
also came under a provision whereby
the federal government will buy the
municipal bonds to be sold by the
town should private agencies declined
the offering.
First Bloom
The first white cotton bloom has
been brought in to The Times office.
This year, the first came from the R.
Melvin Inscoe farm on Route 1, Casta
lia. The delivery of the first bloom on
July 1 follows an annual practice
among cotton growets to see which
can be first to deliver a bloom to The
Times.
Patronize
The ID Director explained that a,
county, to qualify, mutt have (1)
Unemployment ilot below 6 percent
of the work force during the imme
diate proceeding calendar year or (2)
have a median family income not in
excess of $2,264.00 annually.
He explained that Franklin quali
fied last year under the second provi
sion and that the median family In
come in the county at that time was
$2,366 or $102 more than the na
tional figure.
"This does not mean that they will
automatically approve any applica
tion," Schubart said. "It means that If
the matter had credence and falls in
line with the overall economic deve
lopment plan, the EDA will give con
sideration and it is likely to be appro
ved."
He said no county is forced to
accept the designation but he added,
"This is very important to this coun
ty". Questioned about any immediate
benefits, he stated, "I dont have
anything on the hook as far u a water
project goes right now, but I very
definitely have another matter on the
hook."
