In a letter to Mr. Irvin Davis, Secretary of the Board of County Commis soners, J. M. Neese of the Department of Institutions and Correction, Raleigh, commended the action as a forward step on the part. 0!' the Board. When the Social Security Act went into effect in 1 1'3 7, there was talk of closing the Home, but it was not practical to place all of the fourteen inmates who were in the home at that time where they PHILADELPHIA, PA. Pauline would receive proper care. Since Dunbar is pictured at the counting then, however, the number of res- macmne in we rimaueipma .... -d has dwindled f rom fourteen wlipr the new one-cent pieces art j , . ,, counted to a total of about 700,000 of the coins a day. When in full production, the plant will turn out about 3,000,000 of the solid soft steel coins daily to replace the old coppers. Beans Moving Fast First Potatoes Go Beans are going out thi week at the rate of 2000 to 2500 baskets a day from 300 to 500 baskets in each truck that passes thtough Ann Street. Growers are getting from $2 to $2 75. This is said to be about the same figure at which the season opened last year. Then, however, prices quickly dropped to $1.50 and $1.25 whereas pric es are holding better this year. The quality of beans is good, but be cause of cool weather, the crop is something like ten days to two weeks ater than last year. Beans get old in a hurry and the problem now is to get labor for picking. Lack of pickers will cause serious loss to growers within the next three weeks if they don't get some help in this respect. One grower tells us that he will lose a third o his crop if something doesn't hap pen at once to relieve the situa tion. Dick Chadwick, Lenoxville Point, shiped about 400 bushels of of po tatoes on Tuesday the first sent out from the County. END OF TANKER i .ii, I , , .f f t - ! ' j ' V 3" ?f y.

A bar becue supper will be served on the lawn of Rotarian Jack Oakley, corner Live Oak and Front Streets at the regular Rotary hour 7 pm. to seven making the per person expense increase appreciably un til it was exceeded in the State only by one county, Nash. Of the seven in the Home on the elosinsr date, all had reached age of 05. Five of these will re ceive old age assistance sufficient to maintain them in the home of a relative or friend. Of the other two, one has been entered in the State Hospital where proper insti tutional care will be given and another also needing special care has been arranged for in the home of a relative. Mrs. Bessie Hender son, Superintendent of Welfare for the County, has had the con siderable responsibility of the proper placement for each of these persons. The Countv Home was built in H13-l l. There are 10 dernrtory rooms, 8 in each wing, 4 m ire in the main part of the building, and 2 infirmary rooms. The Home has housed as many as 23 persons. Geo Lewis was Superintendent for the first three years of its existence, and he and his wife have been back again for the past ten years. The Grand Jury of the March term of Court commended theiu both for the good care given the inmates. The Lewis' are still in the home as caretakers pending ac tion of the Commissioners regard ing the disposition of the building. It has been said that it will be used as a housing unit for labor, but we understand that no action will be taken until the June meeting of the Board.

Miss Lowe was the guest of Mrs. Peggy Johnson, of Cherry Point. They were staying tempor arily at a cottage on the Beach. The story as received at this of fice is that the girls were in water about waist deep when a white cap cauught them and the undertow took them into deep water. Mrs. Adele Vaughan, also of Cherry Point a companion and a good swimmer, was able to help Mrs. Johnson, but Miss Lowe drowned before she could be reached. There seems to be reasons to believe that the struggle overtaxed her heart which was a factor in her death. Miss Lowe's father came down with the ambulance on Sunday to take the body home for burial.
