RELIEF WORK TO
BE CURTAILED IN
COUNTY BY MAY
-®
Approve Final Allotment of
Flour; Future Course
Undecided
-®
Relief work in Washington County
will be greatly curtailed by April, as
the last and final allotment of flour
has been approved and the county will
not receive any more money for pub
lic employment, and so people who
have been living on this system had
better make preparations for secur
ing other methods of livelihood.
The Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration has issued $4 000 to this coun
ty for March, and $j, is expected
for April, and the first ^ May will
probably see the end of this system
of aid to the unemployed. Much of
this money will be used to pay those
who aid in improving the highways of
the county. This money has been a
great help so far.
It is probable that no more money
will be secured in this method for aid
and the burden will be upon the local
people and those who are unemployed
will have to look for other methods
of subsistence. This money paid to
the workers has caused business to be
fairly good, as it was paid to people
who spent it for tiling^ that they
needed.
A communication has been received
by Zeb Vance Norman, chairman of
the Plymouth chapter of the American
Red Cross, from William Carl Hunt
er, assistant manager of the eastern
area, advising that this is the final
shipment of flour and that some other
provision may be made to supply
needy families when this supply is ex
hausted.
Mr. Norman made an appeal to the
Red Cross for 220 barrels of flour on
February IS. The application was in
creased to 220 barrels and the order
was placed with the Chicago office for
- this amount as “due to a limited sup
ply of wheat available, and in order
that each chapter may receive its pro
portionate share of the remaining
wheat’ the order was increased.
So apparently this is the swan song
to the relief that has been adminis
tered here by Mr. and Mrs. W. C.
Brewer, welfare workers, from this
source, and it is not known now what
efforts will be made to take care of
the needy from now on as there is
no ready employment for the large
number. Maybe the workers can hit
upon some other scheme of aid or the
people will have to look after them
selves.
CLEAN BROODER
IS NECESSARY IN
RAISING CHICKS
♦
Preparation of the Brooder
House Most Important
Step In Production
A perfectly clean and sanitary
brooder house is needed for growing
•• out the baby chicks bought or hatch
. ed for replacement of layers in the
poultry flock.
•"Some of the leading poultry grow
ers of tilts State declare that the prep
aration of the brooder house is one
of the most important steps in the
production of healthy birds,” says C.
F. Parrish, poultry extension speci
alist at State College. “These men
have found th^ the house must be
thoroughly cleaned before beginning
with the new crop of chicks and if it
portable, the house should be moved
to fresh ground. This means soil
that has not been used by poultry for
at least three years.”
To clean the brooder house thor
oughly, Mr. Parrish advocates sweep
ing the walls, floor and ceiling; then
scraping the floor clean_ of any dirt
or droppings, and, following this by
a thorough scrubbing of the floor
‘with a hot lye-water solution. The
walls to a height of 18 inches from
the floor should also be scrubbed with
this solution. Make it by using one
can of lye to ten gallons of water. Do
not use the lye on a concrete floor,
however.
After the floor and walls are dry,
they can be sprayed with any stand
ard disinfectant or seared with a fire
gun. All the equipment used in the
house should be cleaned thoroughly.
Mr. Parrish believes it a good plan
to have a foot mat at the door of the
brooder house, especially if there
have been any outbreaks of disease
on tbe place. To make this foot mat,
he suggests saturating two sacks with
a standard disinfectant and have all
visitors and attendants wipe their
shoes carefully before entering the
building.
During the past seven years, Lin
coln County poultry growers have
sold 700,000 pounds of surplus poul
try for a total income to the farmers
of $151,000.

Movement Under Way
To Make Traps Humape
Trappers in Washington County are
urged to join in a movement that is
said to he interested in legally hu
manizing trapping customs £o thkt
animals would not suffer torture to
the extent they are subjected to un
der the old methods of trapping.
The common steel trap causes the
animal anguish by holding it a pris
oner by a crushed leg, while the pole
trap suspends the victim by a mutilat
ed limb and some forms of snares
strangle by degrees.
New devices are on the market
which capture the animal without the
usual horrors. Cage and box traps are
becoming popular, while burrowing
animals are killed by the use of calci
um cyanide or exhaust from a gas
engine.

COUNTY UNABLE
TO FINANCE TWO
EXTRA MONTHS
Six Months Term To End
March 13; Future
Uncertain
-®
Fate of the two months extended
school term in the rural system of
Washington County rests in the hands
of the North Carolina legislature, it
was decided in a meeting of the Coun
ty Board of Education here Monday.
The education officials unanimously
agreed that they would enter the first
week of the extended term that be
gins on March 14, as the six months
constitutional term officially ends or
March 13, and then they would wait
until about the last of March to see
what the legislature was going to do
about the eight-month state-wide
term.
The board decided that if by expira
tion of the first week of the extended
term the state has assumed the cost
of the entire school term for next year
then the county will make every pos
sible effort to continue for the full
two months more, but if the legisla
ture does not pass a state-wide eight
month term, it will be useless for the
county to attempt to carry on the
extended term further.
The cost of the extended term will
be $16,000 at the rate of $8,000 a
month for the two periods. This will
pay the teachers and pay the admin
istration expense as well as the con
trol and maintenance expense. The
county now has $2,000 available, and
Auditor George W. Hardison has as
serted that he thought it would be
almost impossible for Sheriff Reid to
collect enough money to pay current
county and school expenses for the
extended term.
It is possible that if the county does
not operate the schools for the re
quired academic year of eight month;
then the students will not be promot
ed, as tbe children can not do the
terms work in six months. But this
is not definite, as it may be that the
state will allow them to be promoted
this year and require extra effort next
year to maintain their promotion.
This applies to all the schools in
the county, but no decision has been
met with the Plymouth school board,
as it is possible that there may be
some pressure for eight months term
brought to bear upon the county of
ficials by the town board. They were
to meet on Tuesday night this week
and a report of this meeting will fol
low in another item to present thejr
attitude in the case.
The county officials appointed Ed
ward L. Owens a member of the Ply
mouth Chartered School District
Trustees to succeed A. H. Stier, whe
automatically lost his membership
when he became a legal resident ol
another town. Mr. Owens’ term wil
expire on April 1, 1935.
A delegation from the Chapel Hit
school district were told by the boari
that there was no appropriation avail
able to pay for the piano that was
left in the school building when the
school was closed in 1929. Persons
had forced an entrance into the schoo
building and damaged the piano, whicl
was later sold to John Carlyle for $4

SCHOOLS HERE
WILL OPERATE
EIGHT MONTHS
—*—
Full Term Assured for Ply
mouth School District
Patrons
Public white schools in Plymouth
Township will operate for the full
eight months term, it was announced
today by E. H. Hicks, superintendent
of city schools, following a meeting
of the Plymouth School Board Dis
trict trustees held last night following
a semi-mass meeting.
There is $600 available today for
this school's part in taxation, and the
teachers have agreed to teach the next
two months with their actual expenses
paid and will wait until such time as
the county or town board can secure
the funds for payment of the balance
of their salaries.
Conservative figures compiled by
Mr. Hicks reveals that the staff of 18
teachers or employees of the local sys
tem can meet their actual expenses,
including room, board, and laundry
with $521 a month and now there is
$600 available which makes the sev
enth month of the school term guar
anteed.
It is tought that this district’s part
of the taxes that can be collected by
the last of May and with a certain al
oltment to this district from the State
| Board of Equalization being available
before the end of the term, and with
small donations being made by pa
trons if necessary the eighth month
seems definite.
The school officials desired that the
Beacon take care to express "their
appreciation to the teachers for their
cooperation in the continuance of the
schools in their action of offering or
agreeing to render their services on
the basis stated above.”
It is not known what action the
icountv system will take in this mat
ter, but i' is known that perhaps some
method will be taken to keen all of
the schools open, or it may he that
the Plymouth school will be available
to those who can pay their tuition, but
this is not official.
RECENT WORK OF

| A star grading system has been in
i stalled in the classroom. And the
i best students are awarded gold stars
while those who are on the verge, if
I not failing, are given red stars. The
name of each student is on the chart
and it enables the boy to know daily
what his standing is in the course.
The class is composed of 2y stu
dents who attend very regularly and
who have taken enough interest in
the work to construct 15 tables for
their work room. This carpentry work
was done with crude tools that were
hard to use in the work and the ma
terial was gathered from several
places. They did a good job.
The department always keeps the
shelves and tables in the room filled
with literature on the subjc t to be
distributed to the people needing in
formation on any subject that can be
related to farm and the farm work.
Included in the list of bulletins are
spray calendars and bulletins on live

INFLATION SEEN
AS GOVERNMENT
STARTS PRESSES
-$
Billions of Dollars of Fed
eral Reserve Notes To
Be Issued
Following a four-day holiday for all
hanks throughout the nation, financial
activities continue at a slow pace with
no definite program so far advanced
for a return to normal business in
financial circles.
Reports recently released from the
nation's capital indicate that the gov
ernment is now busy creating suffici
ent cash to care for the shortage, and
that as soon as the several billion of
Federal Reserve greenbacks are dis
tributed throughout the country, bank
ing will again advance to normal ac
tivities.
At the present time banking insti
tutions throughout the country are
open for limited operations, the re
strictions having been placed upon
them by Federal and State banking
authorities. These operations provide
for the changing of money, the ac
ceptance of deposits to be held in
trust and at the convenience of the
depositor, and the withdrawal of mon
ey for certain emergencies, such as
for payrolls, food, and other necessi
ties determined at the discretion of
bankers.
Little scrip is expected to be issued,
but billions of dollars in Federal Re
serve notes will soon be on the way.
(In the meantime, the situation has
'caused no great alarm throughout the
country, but it has been reckoned as
ia beginning of the end of the depres
sion
] Congress convened Thursday, hut it
' is believed that the body will broaden
| the powers of the President in the
handling of the situation, and that it
will 'recess for a few weeks or until
such a time when new banking sys
' tents are formulated and made ready
for presentation to Congress by lead
ers.
| Branch Banking and Trust Com
pany officials are ready to return to
normal activities as soon as state and
federal restrictions are lifted, accord
ing to reports received here. The re
turn to normal will be gradual, it is
believed, however, and quietness will
most likely continue to surround bank
ing activities throughout the nation
for a few days yet.
HOME CURING OF
MEAT IMPORTANT
TO FAMILY DIET
State College Expert Gives
Few Simple Rules for
Saving Meat
some kind of meat aids the farm
housekeeper in preparing more pala
table meals, and this makes the home
curing of pork, lamb, and beef an im
portant item in farm life during win
ter.
Earl H. Hostetler, animal husband
man at State College, says there are
three factors to be considered in pro
viding edible and appetizing meat
. products on the home farm at a mini
mum cost. First, the meat must be
i thoroughly chilled, but not frozen be
fore curing; second; sufficient salt,
with or without other ingredients, must
be applied directly to all the exposed
i surface of the fresh meat, and, third,
I when cured, the meat must be pro
tected from flies, rats, and other pests.
While pork is the kind of meat al
j most universally cured on all North
Carolina farms, it is possible to cure
the "meaty" portions of lamb and
beef. Both of these may be cured at
home with ltitle trouble if left in cure
for the proper length of time.
Mr. Hostetler has used two formu
las for curing meat in his work at the
college and he says both of these will
give good results.
To cure by the brine method, he sug
gests 12 pounds of salt, 3 pounds of
brown sugar, 2 ounces of saltpetre, and
6 gallons of water to each 100 pounds
of the meat.
To cure by the dry method, use 8
pounds of salt, 3 pounds of brown
sugar, and 3 ounces of saltpetre to
each 100 pounds of meat.
These two formulas have been used
in a number of meat-curing demon
strations conducted over North Car
olina in the last two years by R. E.
Nance and the results have been grat
ifying to those who have used the for
mulas. Now that livestock is selling
for a low price, it might be wise to
cure more meat at home, using these
formulas, Mr. Hostetler believes.
