Mr. and1 Mrs. James H. Ward
and Carl Bailey, jr., really got
their money’s worth of thrilling
basketball at the Coliesum in
Raleigh Saturday night of last
week. All Wake Forest fans, the
trio watched State’s Wolfpack
eke out a 75-73 win in overtime,
but the contest was easily one of
the best ever reeled off at the_
..Coliseum and what is more, the
Deacons led with precious little
time remaining. It remained for
Carolina to knock off State Tues
day night with Rosenbluth con
tributing a fine performance for
the winning quint.
Wage earners in Washington
County averaged $62.64 per
week in 1954, according to a
recent issue of “North Carolina
Facts,” weekly publication of
the North Carolina Research
Institute. This county was
fourth in the state, being top
ped only by Haywood with
$73.70; Transylvania with $64.44
and Mecklenburg with $63.52.
There were only 13 counties
with earnings above the state
average of $53.94. Lowest was
Pamlico County, with $25.54.
Averages for other counties in
this section were: Martin,
$44.07; Beaufort, $39.92; Tyr
rell, $31.51; Chowan, $40.05;
Bertie, $39.94.
The Plymouth High School
basketball bam is improving with
age. Under the direction of Coun
ty Superintendent Roy F. Lowry,
workmen recently installed ply
wood panels over heavy insulat
ing paper in the interior, helping
to make it a lot more comfort
able on cold nights for players
and spectators alike. Steam heat
was installed during the past
year, but the porous walls made
it impossible to retain heat in the
structure until the recent ceiling
job. Some big games -are coming
up here in the next week or two,
aindi local fans are assured the
building is much more comfort
able than heretofore.
E. E. Harrell plans to leave
Sunday for Winston-Salem where
he will undergo a physical check
up at Bowman Gray Hospital. Mr.
Harrell expects, while away, to
■attend the Southern Furniture
Market at High Point Wednesday
and Thursday of next week. He
plans to return to Plymouth the
following Monday.
VFW, American Legion and
Auxiliaries To Meet Here
A joint meeting of the local
American Legion and Veterans
of Foreign Wars posts and the
auxiliaries of each is scheduled
to be held at the Veterans Club
here Friday of this week. Time of
the meeting has been announced
as 8 p. m.
Ways and means to raise money
. with which to pay off the indebt
I edness of the building will come
in for discussion ait the meeting,
spokesmen said.
A dance was sponsored here
last week to raise money but the
post barely broke even on the
project, it was explained.
Registrants of
Board Urged To
Observe Rules
® Local Draff Board Should
Be Notified of Change of
Address, Marital or Fam
ily Status
Mrs. Lorraine Hunter, clerk to
Selective Service Boand No. 95
here, is still having her troubles.
Mrs. Hunter says the registration
certificate of one registrant has
been sent back twice with the
notation “unknown” on it, while
a questionnaire addressed to ano
ther registrant of the board was
returned lately also marked “un
known.”
^ A registration certificate was
mailed to Roger Edward Clifton,
Rt. 1, Box 110, Roper, Mrs. Hunt
er said, but the mail failed to
reach the registrant. A question
naire was mailed to Gurtha Ra
yon Barrow, Rt. 1, Box 297, Ro
per, but/came back to the board
undelivered'.
Registrants generally are prone
to neglect notifying the board of
any change of address, it was
noted by the clerk. Also, change
in marital or family status too
often is not reported promptly.
Births not reported prior to
August 24th of last year do not
entitle the registrant to a 3-A
classification, Mrs. Hunter point
ed out.
Many times in the past people
have read in The Beacon a list of
delinquents released by the board
and subsequently the board has
received important information
concerning the whereabouts of
those listed. The clerk hopes that
such will 'be the case this time.
Anyone knowing the address of
either registrant listed above will
do a service to both registrant
and board by notifying the clerk.

COUNTY HOSPITAL HERE NOW HAS INCUBATOR |
Melvin Boyd, commander of the Bosie Bateman Post, Veterans
of Foreign Wars, and Dr. Claudius McGowan are shown flanking
the new incubator which has been installed at Washington County
Hospital here, in fulfillment of a long-standing need. Raising
money with which to make the purchase was adopted as a VFW
project and at a benefit bread sale conducted here about six
weeks ago more than enough money for the incubator was se
cured. A total of $61.50 left in hand after purchase of the incuba
tor was donated to the 1954 Washington County Empty Stocking
Fund, so every penny went for a good cause.—Photo by Weaver

Farm Social Security
Discussed at Meeting
Should Turn In
Marketing Cards
All Washington County farm
ers who have marketing cards
for crops under acreage con
trol should turn them in to the
county ASC office at once, it
was announced this week.
The information on the cards
is needed at the county office
and those who have tobacco,
peanut, cotton or wheat cards
that have not been turned in
should do so right away.
Small Number at
Livestock School
About 15 farmers attended the
livestock school held in the .audi
torium of the county agriculture
building here Wednesday morn
ing of this week.
J. S. Buchanan, extension live
stock specialist in charge of beef
cattle and sheep, J. K. Butler,
extension swine specialist, and
Guy Cassel, livestock marketing
specialist, all from State College,
Raleigh, lectured and1 showed col
ored slides to the gathering.
The meeting opened at 10
o’clock and continued until noon.
Mr. Gassel pointed out that the
outlook for marketing livestock
is fully as favorable as it was a
year ago, with the outlook for
sheep more favorable than for
beef cattle or swine. He also
stated that the better grades of
beef cattle will have a more fav
orable market than a year ago,
while the poorer grades will face
a less favorable market.
It is predicted that the leaner,
meat-type hogs will come more
into the picture this year. It was
pointed out that the packers have
little market for lard and1 there
fore do not want to buy it. The
trend is definitely toward leaner
hogs, it was stated.

Sixty Persons Attend Regu
lar Meeting of Washing
ton County Farm Bureau
Here Friday Night
Gerald Johnson, social securi
ty representative from Rocky
Mount, was the principal speaker
at the meeting of the Washing
ton County Farm Bureau here
Friday night of last week.
About 60 persons attended,
County Agent W. H. Pruden re
ported.
The meeting was in charge of
the president of the county unit,
T. R. Spruill, of Roper.
Mr. Johnson listed the three
types of income as investment
income, self-employment income
and; wages. He stated that the
social security law now rovers
farmers and that they must file
social security records this year.
The question of whether or not
a sharecropping tenant will be
considered self-employed or not
was taken up. It was pointed out
that the question will likely be
determined by the control ele
ment—that is, if the landlord is
an active operator and decides
when and how the crops will be
worked, the tenant would be con
sidered an employee and not self
employed. In such case, the land
lord would be required to remit
a 2 per cent tax for the tenant
and require the tenant to match
the amount, it was stated.
Extension Farm Management
Specialists W. L. Turner and
Charlie Williams spoke briefly on
social security and income tax.
It was pointed out that in figur
ing income tax tihe farmer may
use the method of diminishing
balance or the straight line
method for figuring depreciation.
It was also strongly emphasized

The local campaign is part of
the national effort to raise $64,
000,000 which is declared badly
needed to continue the fight. The
goal in Washington County is
over $3,500.
“The possibility of a polio vac
cine serves to intensify our con
cern for the thousands still suf
fering from the effects of the
disease. We are determined to see
that there are no 'forgotten' polio
victims in our community,” Tom
Hopkins, county campaign di
rector, declared.
At present several polio pat
ients in Washington County, in
cluding two who contracted the
disease in 1954, are receiving help
from the Washington County
chapter of the National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis.
“The mending of lives continues
to be our active dedication,” Mr.
Hopkins stated.
Approximately 74,000 persons
throughout the nation received
direct financial aid from the
March of Dimes during the past
year alone, he disclosed.
“An evaluation of last sum
mer’s polio vaccine field trials
will be completed this spring,”
Hopkins continued. “Then we
will know whether future gener
ations are to be spared the
scourge of polio. But even if the
report is encouraging, we must
continue to help patients for

his late-model car, doing over
$500 damage. The wreck hap

With little over a week to go
before the deadline for display
ing old license plates, sales of
state motor vehicle licenses
continues slow at the branch
license bureau on Washington

as follows: autos, 1,085; private
trucks, 308; farm trucks, 48;

the tags here have bought them.
It is urged that those who have
yet to secure licenses act at
