Continued from front pare
, slums, and in other rooms other
' than regular class rooms. This sit
uation must be remedied.
-Up until this year the General
Assembly of North Carolina has
considered the cost of public school
buildings as a county expense. That
has meant that all school buildings
had tojte constructed from the dl
rect property tax.
The 1949 General Assembly ap
propriated $25000,000 from the
State General Fund for construc
tion of public school buildings.
This means $250,000 for Duplin
County. This money does not come
from the direct property tax, but
trom other state taxes.
The 1949 General Assembly also
provided for us to vote on a $25.-
000,000 bond issue for public school
buildings. The proceeds from this
$25,000,000 of bonds will be allo
cated to the counties on the baIs
of school enrollment. Duplin will
get nearly $350 000 out of the pro
ceeds of these school bonds.
This $25,000,000 of bonds will be
paid out of the revenues of the
oiaies uenerai fund, which are
sources bther than a direct property
tax. That is, our county taxes will
not be increased to pay these bonds,
If this $25,000,000 bond issue
does not carry, it is my opinion
More McGowen long Story .
that it may be a long time before
the General Assembly appropriates
more funds for public school build'
ings. They could probably feel that
tlieyTiave a mandate from the peo
ple not to make such appropriation
If this bond issue docs carry we
will certainly be able to do some
thing aljout the overcrowded cou
dition in our schools, and the Gen
eral Assembly will no doubt con
tinue lo appropriate funds for pub
lie school buildings. ,
Should the bond issue for rural
roads not cany in all probability
our road conditions will remain
bad for i long time.
Should this Bond Issue for pub
tic scnool buildings not carry, in
all probability Duplin County will
have to issue some school building
bonds. Should the amount that
would have to be issued be $75,000,
then let's see just what this would
mean to our County property tax
assessment. 11 Hie bonds should be
tewenty year serial bonds, and
should be sold at a 3r; interest rate
For Hie Past Twelve Kcnto
that would mean an increase of 24c
in the county tax rate over an1
above the present rate of $1.50 on
the hundred dollar of property
valuation. This increase would be
for twenty years.
A taxpayer with an assessed val
ue of $10,000 pays 'county taxes
I his year amounting to Si 50. with
the increase just mentioned, thi
same taxpayer's county tax would
e $174 annually, an increase of
Mk. in twenty years time this tax
payer would pay $480 more county
taxes.
Let's go home and contact out
neighbors and urge them to con.
tact their neighbors and. talk these
bond issues until June 4, and then
go to the poll early and cast your
vote lor the Go-Forward Program,
and see that every other register
ed voter in your community dop
the same. The registration books
are new open and will remain open
for two more Saturdays. Get my
unregistered citizens in your com
munity on the books so that they
can vote on June 4.
Thank you.

By: V. H. REYNOLDS
Assistant County, Agent .
I There are 438 boys enrolled in
the ten 4-H clubs in Duplin County
with monthly : meetings of each
club held at the school during the
school year.
4-H club officers are in charge
of the first part of the meetings
which are joint meetings of boys
and girls. They discuss any busi
ness matters that come before the
club and also present a program.
110 of these meetings were held
with 302 boys attending. After the
joint meeting, the Assistant Home
Agent meets with the girls for
demonstration and discussion of
projects. -The boys meet "with the
Assistant County Agent for dem
onstration and discussion of pro
jects.
The following is a list of meth
od demonstration meeting for the
boys:
16 meetings on How to Estimate
Corn yields with 430 .joys present;
18 meetings on Poultry Feeding
And Management with 463 boys
present;
13 meetings on Balanced Hog
Rations with 361 present;
13 meetings on Corn Production
and Corn Contest with 434 present,
6 meetings on Dairy Production
with 125 present;
6 meetings on Tobacco Projects
with 187 present;
4 meetings on Home Gardens
with 126 present;
16 meetings i-n Kcep.ng Project
Records and discussion of awards
for best projects with 425 present.
Summer activities in addition to
project work is a trip to camp and
to 4-H Short Course at State -Col
lege in Raleigh. Last summer 7
boys and 15 girls attended Camp
Millstone near Rockingham, N. C.
Another camp was scheduled at
Manteo, N. C, but had to be can
celed due to the Polio Epidemic.
The 4-H Short Course in Raleigh
was also canceled .
Plans are now being made for a
camp for Senior. Club members at
Manteo June 6-11, and a camp for
Junior Club members at Camo
Millstone, August 1-6. Boys and
t(irls who have their project work
up to date are eligible to attend.
The 4-H Short Course will be held
at State College in Raleigh from
August 1-6. Duplin County can tak
16 boys and 16 girls to this event,
where club members from all the
counties in the State will attend.
Project Work: Each boy enrolled
in 4-H Club work has a crop or
livestock project. The boy does the
work and keeps a record of expen
ses, labor and income, and -from
these records he 'can determine
which crops and livestock -are most
profitable. By following better
methods of crop and livestock pro
duction that are suggested in his
record book and recommended by
State College Extension Service,
the boys learn the best ways of do
ing things to make the most profit.

Plans SJili Asscmtly May 26lh
Montreat The 80th general
assembly of the Presbyterian
church in the U. S. (Southern Pres
byterian church) wlH convene here
May .26,; to continue, in session
probably through the following
Wednesday morning.
Dr. G. Darby Fulton, Nashville,
Tenn., moderator of the 1948 gen
eral assembly, will preside at the
opening session and will deliver
the moderatorial sermon. Dr. Ful
ton is executive secretary of the
general assembly's executive com
mittee of foreign missions. His suc
cessor as moderator will be elect
ed the opening night by ballot. No
candidates for this office are ev
announced preceding the session.
Matters of importantance to the
church are to come before this as
sembly, which will be made up of
ministers and ruling elders repre
senting the 87 Presbyteries of tie
17 synods of the church, which is
located in that area of the south
which extends from Maryland to
New Mexico and from Florida to
Missouri.
While the 1948 general assembly
placed a moratorium on the quest
ion Of reunion with the Presbyter-
Ian church USA for a oerind of
five years, it also instructed th
committee on cooperation and un
ion to explore avenues for further
ing acquaintance and cooperation
with the northern branch of the
church. In the five-year period the
"entire play of reunion" was to be
held in abeyance. V
Two reports will be presented
to this assembly, the majority re
port outlines in detail plans where
by acquaintance- and 'cooperation
(night be followed, including Joint
jneetJngs of synods, Presbyteries,
and down to local churches.
X A minority, report disapproves,
and points out that it "would be
.Wise to continue a scrupulous, ob
servance of the spirit of the agree-
ment throughout the five-year per
iod. and to abstain from anv course
of action which might be construed
in conflict with it". The minority
report recommends that the de
tailed plans proposed by the major
ity report be stricken out, and that
the permanent committee be in
structed "to make a candid and
careful study between the two de
nominations in policy and practice
at the level of congregations, Pres
byteries, synods, and general As
sembly -agencies, respectlvely.and
the nature of-the problem which
would, be involved in effecting any
plan of union, and to report its
findings to the general assembly."
' An ad interim committee, named
by the general assembly to make a
study of all the agencies of the
church to determine possible over-
ItannlnM - ... . 1 1 . .
'w's wur una reorganization
if necessary to facilitate the work
of the church, is expected to make
a report This report has not been
made available for general release,
but it has been presented, in part,
to executive committees and it is
expected the1 committee will recom
mend its study for a year in the
church before adoption.

New Method Guarantees
Uniform Baking Results
A method of baking that guaran
tees uniform results is offered to
housewives with the .introduction
of a new, improved, self-rising
flour to the Kenansville area by
International Milling Co., millers
of Robin Hood Self-Rising Flour.
Self-Rising flour possesses all
the attributes of regular phosphat
ed flour,' plus the addition of the
baking elements normally used in
baking. Absolute uniformity in ris
ing qualities which are already
scientifically mixed into the flour
insure uniform baking results, In
ternational's specialists explained.
In making biscuits, for example,
all that is needed with Robin Hood
Self-Rising Flour Is the addition
of shortening and the liquid ingre
dient. Self-rising flour, originally
developed, as a quick and easy bis-'
cuit-maker for the families of the
South, has proved itself to be an
equally excellent all-purpose flour
for use in baking rolls, pastry,
cakes and cookies, as well as bis-1
cuits. Special recipes for using self
rising flour are included in the
Robin Hood package.
Technically speaking, self-rising
flour is a normal enriched, flour
with soda, phosphate, and salt ad
ded during the milling process ir
scientifically measured quantities
based on latest laboratory baking
tests.. The standard, consistent In
clusion of these Ingredients in self-
rising flour does away with the nec
essity of adding baking powder
and seasoning, normally saving the
user considerable time and elimin
ating errors in measurement by
the Honiemaker, technicians ex
plained.
1 en women, selected by a survey
Kenansville and over Duplin Coun
ty for their reputations as good
cooks' and qualified judges of ba
king products, will be asked to
test the new flour In their own
kitchens, baking specified self
rising recipes utilizing Robin Hood
Self-Rising Flour, and report their
findings to International's Home
Economics Research Department
for study as the reactions of fine
cooks using this Improved self
rising flour for the first time.

Dear Sis:

Adim Smith says in his great

all wealth stems from the sol
When the persons operating farms
tn the State understand and apply
the best methods of land usage, it
will mean more to North Carolina
than the discovery of Gold did to
California 100 years ago.
I would like to suggest that we
establish Agricultural Institutes and
conduct same for two days each
year in the various communities of
the State, using the public school
buildings as the meeting places
These Institutes should make cop
ious use of pictures, showing re
sults obtained and give full infor
mation in regard to soil analysis,
type and quantity of fertilizer used,
and also show advantage obtained
from ample application of lime".
A prosperouh, healthy, well-fed
intelligent population is the suretr
most powerful and durable bulwark
against Communism and every otb
er form of tyranny. Not gifts and
bounties will elevate our civiliza
tion, but limitless production of all
the good things we need is the way
to a more abundant life. When an
acre of land produces 83 bushels
of corn or 36 bushels of vheat as
did Mr. Eugene Holmes of David
