BACK TAXES
COMING IN
Dec. 1st Deadline
For Tax Delinquents
Back taxes coming in this week
have kept our Sheriff's office busy
Sheriff C. G. Holland was ordered
by the Commissioners on Nov. 3rd
to use every legal means to col
lect taxes from those who are de
linquent. Since this announcement
was made, a gratifying number of
citizens have responded. The mat
ter, however, wil continue to be
pressed and after December 1st,
the Sheriff will begin to garnishee
salaries and sell property for what
ever may be due.
As it has been explained, the
Commissioners are but taking a
step in fairness to the citizens who
pay their taxes in commissioning
the Sheriff to take such perempt
ory measures. Else taxpayers will
have to be assessed for their own
part and the part of those who do
lot pay.

Schick Testing
In Schools
The County Health Department
is administering the Schick Test

who has had two doses of toxoid
will not become immune until a
third dose is given. The test is a
harmless way to find the presence i
or absence of this immunity.
The testing now being don will
not be iven to children in the
grades above the fourth, but these
children can have the test by com
ing to the Health Department Of

"Share-The-Meat
Campaign Includes
Farm Slaughter
Meat slaughtered on the farms
for home use and that which fam
ilies purchase in quantities for stor
uge should be counted in the 2 1-2
pounds weekly allowance accord
ing to J. Y. Lassiter, County Farm
Agent.
Farmers are urged to count
r.ome slaughtered meat as a part
Df the sharing alowance as well as
.he meat that they buy at local
tores. This applies to the meat
i'rom home slaughtered cows, cal
ces, hcs, and sheep because the
Share-The-Meat Program affects
ill beef, pork, veal, lamb and mut
:on. All meat, whether slaughtered
yn the farm or commercially, I
makes up the total supply to be
Available to consumers.
To avoid wastes when large sup
plies of home slaughtered meats
are temporarily available as is true
in this county at this time and for
the next few months, farmers may
find it necessary to consume a lar
ger volume but as an average their
consumption should be held to the
2 1-2 pounds per person weekly.
Carteret farmers who butcher
meat for sale locally may continue
to do so however, families who pur
chase such meat from farmers or
obtain meat from other sources
for storage are expected to con
sume it in accordance with their
sharing allowance.
