Birds were orphaned at a few

Hungry baby birds, anxiously

ta bits of bread soaked In milk.
Berries and seeds were added later.
At first, feedings were made punc

bites.

piilg $390,045.37 budget
which breads all records
for municipal spending here
ai>d jceeps the tax rate at
its legal limit of $1.65 per
hundred.
Under the law, the officials
could not have spent another

the town’s tax rate another pen
ny.
.Mayor Ralph K. Hanna presld

tag, which reaffirmed the agree
ment of the board at i£s meeting
M Cotaml»ioner J. V. Baas .made
the motion for adoption of the
budget and it was seconded by
Commissioner Bill Bryan. The vote
was unanimous.
Mayor Hanna, who two years

high tax rate, did not have to vote
today.
REMAINS Of£N 26 DAYS
Under the law the budget will
remain open for public inspection
for 90 days.
Os the total $343,763 budget a

At the meeting Monday qight,
the council agreed to give town
employees a two and a half per
cent across-the-board raise ta sa
lary rather than cut the tax rate
three cents.
Since citizens defeated by an

11 cents per SIOO valuation, the;
had expected a reduction ta taxes
of that amount.

Two Lilltagton teen age boys to

who helped them went free.
Gene Colville, 18, and his brother.
Floyd Colville, 17, were convicted
Tuesday In Harnett Recorder’s
Court of the possession of literal
whiskey making apparatus. Both
entered guilty pleas.
The court was Informed that ru
ral policemen surprised the boys
on Daad End Read near the LffiTOg
ton prison camp as the two pre
pared to load a tin stm on a mule
drawn wagon-
Blame for the arrest could not be
placed on the old fashion method
of transportation, but because the
boys went bested in a foot race by
Policeman C. K Moore.

Moore ignored the mule, ran after

led over rough ground, ta and out

WASHINGTON (IP) Pre
i sident Eisenhower said to
| day that despite differences
j with both North Korean
Communists and South Ko
rea he still is hopeful and
reasonably confident an ar
mistice can be signed soon.
The President said at his news
conference that there was very
little he could add because the
armistice talks at Panmnnjom are
, being conducted in secret sessions.
| He said, he would not say any
’ thing thafcsmight he taken as a vio
lation of Jthe official secrecy sur
rouadtag.lho6e negotiations.
AgptyflEspell out what he meant
bv dlfWibces with both South and
North mOrea, Mr. Eisenhower said
the RGK problems had been fully
eported in the newspaoers and thSt
the secrecy rule armlles to dif
ferences remaining with the Com
munist negotiations.
Nevertheless, the President
| added, he is still very hopeful and
reasonably confident an armistice
can be signed soon.
He said it would be foolish, how
ever, to try to estimate the exact
Ldate when it could happen.
c*' Yhe State Department, mean

a zfihr Aote th flte '
phope of allaylnv last-minute fetus

11.000 attacking Chinese today while
United Nations ftflhtct- bombers
dropped half a million pounds ,of
[ bombs on the Kumeong bulge.
The unsuccessful Red drive ta the
central front bulge was the only
major action along the “compara
tively quiet*’ battlefront,’ which
truce officers were attempting to
reduce to a 2 1.2 mile buffet zone.
One company after another at
tacked South Korean positions on
the Allies’ new defense line along
the Kumsong River, but the ROKs
threw them back, one at a time.
After an hour-long lull, a com
pany of Chinese staged a sneak at
. tack, driving the ROKs from one
I position. But the ROKs regrouped
and counterattacked before dayn,
I rooting the Reds from tlfe trenches.
