Brooks of Warsaw and was a Country Library , i Plan Grows By Lynn Nisbet Raleigh. Continued and more rapid expansion of library service io rural communities was indicated at a meeting of the State Library Commission here. One of the principal factors . looking to improved service was employment of Miss Helen Bex to be supervisor of rural libraries in the western part of the state, thus releasing Miss Elizabeth House for full time attention in the east. Miss Rex is from Marshalltown, Iowa, a former president of the Iowa State Library Association. The commission redistributed the funds available under legislative appropriation for state aid to coun ty and municipal libra es. Original allocation had been made on basis of 100 counties participating in the $275,000 annual state fund. Ten counties did not cooperate leaving about $450 additional for each of the other ninety. student at the University of North Carolina. (Cut courtesy of the News and Observer). In some counties not participa ting they could not match state funds, and in others the local au thorities preferred to use available money for projects other than those specified in state regulations. Through .encouragement of rnib- lic libraries, bookmobiles and other ways, the state commission hopes to reach within two or three years the goal of one book available for each two persons. This will be less than half the present national ave rage and one fourth the national goal. o o o o o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o o O If f . -Ti 2 17 TO KENANSVILLE An added attraction WE CONGRATULATE YOU AND SEND BEST WISHES TO SERVICE MOTOR CO.

An ail spray is best. It should be a residual pray rather I than one of the so-called aerosol bombs. Aerosol sprays kill flying insects but are without lasting ef fect as they leave little or no resi due. DDT spraying is useful for protecting clothes hanging in clos ets while moth flakes are advised for clothes stored in tight bags Negro Extension News Items By R. E.

Beer Taxes Increase Local Benefits Beer -taxes collected by the State in May totaled $381,057.51, i sizeable increase over the $347.- 639.36 coljected in May of 1947. These figures do not' include beer taxes collected by local and Federal government 'units. Half of. the beer revenue col lected bv the State is heine set aside for distribution on a per cap ita basis to counties and municipal ities in which beer is licensed to be sold. The local government units will receive their share of the mon ey next fall for the year ending September 31. The year's share eoing to local governments is expected to total over $3,000,000. None of the money goes to counties or municipalities in which beer is not licened to be sold. The new beer money was made available to local government units when the 1947 General Assembly doubled the crown tax on beer, ef fective last July 1. Many local units used their first quarter's share to According to a recent survey the Jersev heifers imDorted in the ' county in 1943, shows that 19 traoe J able cows have paid heavy divi ! dends to Duplin county farmers. These 19 dairy animals now have 100 descendants which brought their owners $4,035, not including the family supply of milk and but ter. The Initial onst of the animate was $1,140 which leaves a cash in come of $3.53 for each dollar in vested. In spite of the poor milking practices of railking once a day on some farms, the cows averaged more than 2 gallons of milk per day. All purchasers seem proud of their investments. Mrs. Penny Jane Southerland of Smith Chape! com munity said "It's the best cow I've ever awned." This report should further con vince the farmers of the profit, the necessity, and the convenience of having a cow for every farm family.
