It was expected that the per cent of positive reactions to the preliminary testa given to deter mine suspects would be much- higher, possibly as high aa 15 to 20 per cent and naturally the county health officer is pleased to know that ao few children show positive reactions and that cases of tuberculosis are scarce in comparison with tests a few years ago and with reports from other counties. The results of the tests would seem to indicate that the chil dren, generally speaking, are properly fed and clothed and that climatic conditions are quite healthful. The clinic is going forward with teSls to all children in the larger schools and children from the smaller units which cannot be visited during the clinic are gathering at the central schools to be tested and, If need be, ex amined.

At this meeting a very import ant resolution was adopted by the stockholders in which they di rected and ordered the directors to rpduce dividends on full paid stock from 5 per cent to 4 per cent, effective as of July 1, 1936. In other words, the old dividend rate of 5 per cent will prevail un til July 1, 1936, and the directors were also instructed to notify all full paid stockholders by letter of this action. The reason for this reduction in dividends on this class of stock was due to the fact that all money loaning in- .stitntioiiH of this country were not paying any more than 4 per (Continued on page sixi by Sheriff Somers and deputies one (lay last week in the Fair- plains community he was indus triously enga.ged in a game of i — poker and his three playmates in!Name Postmastd* the game were jailed on a charge I a. of gambiin.g. n,o ,rrn..r,i At Mouavian rails sighted t. h e New Hans Liclade] Four To Be U»iA Bf ficen; Acriemtwril : tert' SAVING IS County Would ^ Able |To Secure Addiiioa At Cow Cost Through WPA Instead of a separate a^rfcnl-' tural building for Wilkes (Xidaty an engineer of the extension.serv ice is making plans for a story addition to the courthouse in 'Wilkesboro. Under a proposal worked put by the Works Progress Adminis tration and the extension service the WPA will furnish $7,812 of the cost of erecting a building tor agricultural offices and an assembly . room provided the county supplement the sum suf ficiently to make the total a- mount slightly over $9,000, in cluding a building site. It was first considered tiiat a portion of the courthouse lot could be used as a building site, thus resulting in a saving to the county, and then the plan to ex tend the courthouse in the rear was brought up. Engineer Raney, of the extension service, was in the county yesterday and drew plans for the extension, which are to be forwarded to district and state headquarters of the Works Progress administration. The extension would be the same width as the courthouse and would be 34 feet In length, allow ing for four spacious office rooms mSOtianmJ dfflee'sp(kce for' the various county and court offlcaa and the second floor would con tain the offices for the cou ity a- gent, clerical help and an assemb ly room for meetings of fanners. This plan is expected to meet with the approval of all concern ed and enable the county to ac quire additional courthouse space at lower cost, due to the grant of $7,812 from the WPA for the construction of the agricultural building and at the same time would provide facilities as good as if the agricultural building were a separate edifice.
