Commodity Plan To
Be Aired By Board
The Board of County Com
missioners will consider dis
tribution of surplus commodi
ties in the county during the
early months of the year at
their December meeting.
Julian Farrar, Welfare De
partment director, discussed
the commodity program with
the commissioners on Monday
afternoon, when he appeared tu
discuss other welfare mat
ters. He said that his depart
ment would like to know the
wishes of the commissioners
as soon as possible in order
that plans for the distribution
might be completed in time to
start the program in January.
The commissioners took no
action on the matter, but post
poned action until their De
cember meeting, when the
stamp plan is also expected
to be discussed.
Commissioner Robert
Thorne presided over the
commissioners meeting in the
absence of Chairman AmosL.
Capps who was ill at his home.
Frank W. Reams, Exten
sion chairman, appeared be
fore the commissioners to
discuss plans for renovating
the Agricultural Building in
preparation for the Integra
tion of the white and colored
agricultural agencies.
Reams told the commis
sioners that the FHA office
had been moved to- the Taylor
Building in the office form
erly occupied by the Carolina
Telephone and Telegraph
Company. This office he said
would be used for the non
white agricultural agents and
a partition would be built and
the present assembly room
would be used for the non
white home economics agents.
The Grand Jury room In the
court house, he said, would
be used for an assembly room,
when the courts are not In
session.
Reams estimated the cost
of renovating the building at
$800. Half of this cost would
be taken from the expense
account of the agricultural
department, and the other half
would be provided by funds
allocated for an assistant
home agents salary. Money
was provided in the budget
for this agent's salary, but
as yet no agent has been em
ployed. Reams said that he
hoped that a new agent could
be employed in January.
The commissioners agreed
to the appropriation of funds
and later in the day passed a
resolution authorizing the
transfer of funds.

lector, reported 1966 taxes

the sale of this corn should
not only help farmers at a
