Thursday, M«y .*/, 1951 ESTABLISHED 1899 Town Board Holds A Special Meeting Tuesday Evening [ Discuss Proposed Rudpgcl For Now Year; Sidewalk Problem Still Unsolved —--<9>——. Proposed budget figures for the 1951-52 fiscal year along with several baffling problems were discussed at a special meeting of the local town board of commis sioners Tuesday evening. No of fical action was taken and it is likely that the regular session next Monday evening will last well into the night. Two members of the board could not attend the special ses sion and final action on proposed budget figures and other prob lems was delayed until a full at tendance is present. The proposed budget figures arc similar to those set up for the current fiscal year. However, pro visions are being made for chang es in insurance coverage and spec ial sinking funds have a place in the proposed budget. It is proposed to raise $178, 293.04 to finance all town opera tions during the new year. Ac cording to estimates, the proposed $2 tax rate, based on a $4,447, 1)02.00 assessed property valuation, will raise about one-half the rev enue or $8(1,958.04. Water sales are estimated to amount to $36, 00 next year, with the remain der coming from special services ti nd fees. Petitions, see king annextion of certain propel ties just outside of the town’s western limits, were studied, and the commissioners saw a big problem staring them in the face. A petition, calling for the annexation of property from the present town limit on West Main Street to Sunset Drive ui Avenue, was received and tenta livelv approved,^garJy thjs month, but final legal action is pending in the case. It is now proposed to add a few more acres in that im mediate area. Another petition would include just about all of the old fair grounds now owned by D. M. Roberson and about two others. The petitions were well receiv ed, but the commissioners see no way just at this time to extend town serivees to all the new area with the limited funds now avail hble. It is possible to extend wa ter and sewer lines to part of the territory, but the commissioners expressed the opinion that ser vice should be made available first to all citizens within the present town limits. It was pro posed to meet with the petition ers and discuss th lines and work for an understanding of th„ con ditions. A knotty problem, the commis sioners found, is centered in a parkway on Lee Street between Liberty and Franklin. Property owners petitioned for sidewalks, but some of them want a six foot space between the four-foot walk and the curb and oth ers want only a four-foot space between the curb and walk. Proponents presented their cases and each has a point. The com missioners are expected to take final action in thematter at the meeting next week.

Qmyaged By Hail I Various field crops, especially corn and tobacco, were damaged by hail in various sections of the I county late Tuesday afternoon. Incomplete reports indicate that the major damage was centered in the islands section of Williams Township and in the Poplar Chap el and Angetown areas of James ville Township. One report maintained that corn \nd tobacco were almost winert out on the Barber and Griffins farms in Williams Township. All the hail on the Griffin farm had not melted early yesterday morn ing. Farmer Tommy Holliu the ground was covered in his community and resembled snow. Some hail was reported on the Hyman and Early farms in Goose Nest Township and hail fell in Williamston, but the damage was slight in the areas. Farmer Early was quoted as saying the hail could not find the little tobac co sprouts on his farm. With one or two exceptions, most areas in the county report ed little or no rain, but farmers declare that the cold weather has caused more crop damage than the dry season. r !

Finals Program Held Last Night In Local School —•— Dr. It. I i*c Huinbc.r Deliv ers A (ilrri* To Grailu* alow And Friends ——<* "You hold the answer to tlje world's problems in your hands," Dr, Robert Lee Humber told for ty-nine graduates last night in an address marking the last in the series of the 1951 commencement events in the local school. The speaker, a world citizen who has devoted considerable time, talent and means in behalf of World Federation, was heard by a ca pacity crowd. Pointing out to the young grad uates that they had acquired citi zenship in the Republic of Let ters, Dr. Humber, as an older brother, welcomed them into the great fraternity, adding that he was certain they were starting out with a great Inspiration to discharge the responsibilities of i life. He said thnt young graduates experience two of life's supreme emotions—-triumph and dedica tion. “1 say for the first, well | done and God speed,” he said. “Four r ears ago you held a fra gile candle. If yon continue to) cultivate that light it may become a beacon, but you can bury it un der a bushel," the speaker warn ed, ar.rl urged the graduates to ac cept tire challenge of the unachi eved, to take from their heritage the unencumbered torch that has | been handed to them and keep it burning. Declaring that they possessed an unconquerable asset in youth, he urged the graduates to treat it with indulgence and remain spir ■ dually young. He pleaded with j the young people not to let down those who had built before ! them,, and urged them to take time (uut and confer with themselves, to evaluate those things that arc right and to have courage in I meeting the inevitable. | Recalling that our ancestors had ; courage, Dr. Humber told abouf Cranmcr, archbishop of Canter bury, who with Lattimer and I others were burned at the stake as heretics in London in 1556. "They were told that if the indi vidual were allowed to interpret the Bible there would be chaos,” the speaker said, adding that they were tried but would not change their stand and were finally turn ed over to the mob to be burned | to death. "They had courage, and today there stands on that spot i a souvenir, serving as a shrine for courage and loyalty. You have inherited that courage, and I urge I you to have the courage of your convictions,” he said. The speak er also referred to courage dem onstrated by a coast guard crew. "Warned of the impending danger of their mission, the captain of the guard replied, ‘We have to go, (Continued from page seven) Jaycees Sponsor Beauty Pageant -- i The Williamston Junior Cham ber of Commerce will sponsor their Sixth Annual Beauty Pa geant this year on Wednesday June 20, and the girls pa-‘icipr»t ' ing will compete for the title of “Miss Williamston, 1951”.
