The general drive to raise funds for the 1956 budget of the East Carolina Council, Boy Scouts of America, will get underway Oc tober 4. The goal for the 1951 operating budget of the Council is $112,000. Mr. Blackburn has been actively associated with the Boy Scout pro gram, having served as membei of the board of directors. All boys, eight years of age anc older are eligible to receive th( benefits of the program offered by the Boy Scouts of America. The Cub Scout program, for boys cigh through 10 years of age, is home centered, and the Cub pursues ac tivities primarily in his own home under the close guidance of hi: parents. The Cub Pack operates its program from material providec through the East Carolina Council Elementary citizenship responsi bilities such as courtesy to the flag and duty to God and Country are developed. Fun and crafts are the main features of this program. From 11 through 13, Boy Scout ing widens the boys’ range of in terests to include the out-of-door: —hiking, campaign, woodcraft, anc nature lore. It is in the Boy Scou program that boys learn the skill: necessary for self-reliance. The Boy Scout program begins by teaching a boy to take care of him self. As the Scout progresses he learns also to take care of others At the age of 14, the program oi Exploring begins. In this advanced phase of Scouting, the young man expands his outdoor activities, ex plores vocational interests, social relationships, service opportunities and develops skill in working with other young men on a democratic basis. All phases of the Boy Seoul movement emphasize participation in citizenship activities through service to home, friends, church, community and nation. Every Scout is inspired to become a re sponsible, participating citizen. Scouting seeks to develop in boys of all ages a real “Scout spirit.” This is done not only through the active program but also by setting up pledges and promises for the boys to follow. -® North Carolina coast is 320 mile: long. COMMITTEE (Continued From Page 1) For Washington County Union, new 10-classroom addition to re place old frame classroom building; For Plymouth, major expansion to eliminate old Hampton Academy building, to relieve present conges tion at the Plymouth plant and make possible a desired high school program. “As a matter of fact, the entire Plymouth plant is needed by the elementary school to elimi nate use of the old Academy build ing, to relieve congestion and for enlargement and enrichment of the elementary program. The commit tee recommends that a new high school plant be constructed on the new site recently acquired by the board of education. Substantial ad ditional acreage should be acquir ed for enlargement of this site. The present limited site is already saturated with buildings. Within a relatively few years, at the most, it will be necessary to build a new school on a new site to relieve this plant. It appears to the committee that now is the opportune time both economically and otherwise to go to a new site for building ex pansion required for the needs o! this school. “It is recommended that a bone issue in the amount necessary te finance these recommended pro jects be submitted to the voter: of the county as, perhaps, the onlj means of obtaining sufficient fund: with which to finance the projects.’ The committee does not recom 1 mend further expansion of th< Plymouth plant on the present site As indicated elsewhere in this re port, it is our opinion that to at tempt to provide adequately foi the needs of this school at the pres ent site would not, in the long run be productive of economy or of ; good school program.” Named to the school improve ment committee were: P.

Safely Warning j Given by Chief j “Our children are our dearest property,” stated Chief of Police P. W. Brown this week, in calling attention to the fact that schools are now open for the new school year. Motorists arc urged to exercise the greatest care, the local police chief went on, since pedestrian, bicycle and automobile traffic in the school zones is stepped up during the time of year when schools are in session. ‘Don’t for get to watch out for them,” the chief warned, “because they may forget to watch out for you.” TOPICS (Continued From Page 1) you are now a super-charged insur anceman. I always knew you were a live wire, but I think you could now be classified as a hot-shot. I understand through your efforts Luther Nobles was saved, and now after remembering the kind of food he serves in his cafe, I am wonedr ing if you did the right thing.” C.

Early Deadline For Tax Refund The North Carolina Farm Bureau reminded farmers this week to file their federal tax refunds on farm used gasoline. The deadline is Oc tober 1. Farm Bureau Executive Vice President R. Flake Shaw said many farmers eligible for this refund have not made application for it. A charge of three cents in fed eral tax is made on each gallon of gasoline. This is the first year that farmers who use gasoline in farm machinery have been exempt from it. Farmers should file for the re fund through the office of P. K. Sanders, Greensboro, director of internal revenue for the North Carolina district. The exemption of non-highway used gasoline from federal tax came after extended debates in Congress over whether to increase the gasoline tax to finance a new nationwide highway construction program. But the Farm Bureau has for several years urged exemption for farmers from the tax, maintaining that gasoline used on the farm is source of production supply, much as is electricity in making alumi num or as is diesel fuel in other types of manufacture. The exemption means savings of $2J million annually to North Car olina farmers: “Since it means so much to the average farmer, re fund applications should be filed immediately,” said Shaw. -® Forest Plantations North Carolina has 80,900 acres of acceptable forest plantations, ac cording to recent Timber Resource Review statistics. That is 1.6 per cent of the nation’s total and 4.2% of the 1,943,600 forest plantation acres in the Southern Region. On the other hand, North Carolina has 970,000 acres that need planting to forest tree seedlings—4.8 per cent of the total need in the South. COURT (Continued From Page 1) Davenport.
