Duplin County March of Dimes
campaign U underway.
Gorege Penney, County chairman,
said committee heads have been se
cured in each community through
out the County. They have start
ed solicitation in hopes that con
tributions this year will be above
What they have -been in the past.
Penney -points out that since the
Polio i Foundation ' has , been func
tioning', Over twice as much money
has been returned to Duplin Coun
ty as has been contributed by the
Duplin citizens! ' v ., I
Records show that ' Duplin' has
contributed $21,000 to the Founda

$43,000 returned to the county.
. xne ngftt-against polio is not over.
In fact it has only begun. Officials
Foint out that because of the dis
covery of the" Salk Polio Vaccine, it
is not time, for the financial assist
ance tot stop.
'Millions of ' dollars in March of
Dimes funds are needed, these offic
ials say "to - aid thousands and
thousands of polio patients for
whom 'the Salk vaccine comes too
late." Some 68,000 patients all over
the country are now on the rolls of
the National Foundation, and many
more will- be stricken before the
Salk vaccina la administered to all.
Funds are also needed to con
tinue the National . Foundation's
work in the scientific research. That
program has already produced the
Salk vaccine, which is 00-90 per
cent effective against the three typ
es of virus known to cause polio.
Additional research may turn up
still better medical weapons.
March of Dimes research goes be
yond preventive techniques, . jand
devotes a ood deal of. time . and
money to the- eearch for new me
thods of car and treatment; the po
lio fund.- also provides training for
doctors, nurses and other specialists
In rehabilitation. This latter phae
of the program aids not only polio
patients but all those who suffer
from crippling handicaps.
- The minimum need for the 198(1

"Dir. Democrat" was purchased by
Mr. Davis in Washington City last
apring Rt which time not only the

Mr. Davis says the following -poem
cornea from "Mr. Democrat":
As I look back on the year of
1959
I begin . to think and wonder
Are the Republicans still alive.
I think of Resolutions
for the year of '58, and
t wonder about the farmers
They're in a helluva fix.
We -cari't blame ft all on Benson
The truth I'm telling you
He is only a hired hand

Close; mold Resigns Inspectorship
State ASC Committee Upholds Original
Decision; Arnold and Hall Definitely Out
(From News' and Observer)
The appeals of two former mem
bers of the Agricultural Stabiliza
tion and Conservation Committee
for Duplin County have been turn
ed down by the State ASC Commit
tee, y.u-i
' Harvey D. Arnold of Rose Hill
and Coy Hall of Beulaville were re
moved from office last November
21 after an investigation revealed
irregularities In the granting of
new grower tobacco allotments. Ar
nold was chairman and Hall was
vice chairman of the committee in
Dunlin.
They appealed to the State ASC
Committee, which heard, them and
their supporters for re-ins tatement
at. a five-hour closed session here on
December 16.
The decision of the State com
mittee to uphold the suspension of
Arnold and Hall waa announced last
Friday by Horace D. Godfrey, State
ASC administrative official.
Godfrey, who said that Arnold
and Hall had been notified of the
decision, stated that removal of the
two men from the Duplin local com
mittee will be effective until the
next election for ASC committee
men in October, 1956. They would
be eligible for election then, he
said.
Godfrey stressed that the invest!,
gation of the ASC committee ac
tivities in Duplin "did not reveal
any fraud on the part of Arnold
and Hall, nor any personal gain for
them." They were, he said "just
men will put in cupboards, tables
and sinks within the next few days.
The lab has a darkroom for photog
raphy assignments, plus a supplv
room with separate sink which will
-be used for individual projects.
Basketball practice will be held
In the Calypso Elementary School
gymnasium until the North Duplin
school gvm is constructed some
time in the next few years. Since
the new school hag no cafe'eria,
students will bring their lunches.

able at the school.
Vocational agriculture classes
will be held at the new school
building, but since the shop re
mains in Cal"pso the students will
be taken by bus 'o the shop twice
a week for projects.
Tentative future plans at the new
school call for the construction of
a large auditorium - gymnasium
building with a vo ag shop on one
side and a cafeteria on the other.

Farmers' Tax
Guide Available
At Agent's Office
The Farmers' Tax Guide for 1955
is avaallable to all interested farm
ers through the county agent's (f
flce. This publication is by far the
most complete "and accurate infor
mation dealing with the reporting of
Income tax and self-employment tax
(social security tax) published to
da'e. Pages of filled in sample
forms add to the ease of under
standing the printed information.
It is very Important this year that
farm families have an understanding
of (1) how to report their income
tax and (2) how to report their self
employment earnings for 1965. It
is mandatory that avery farm op
erator report his self-employment
earnings. .- v-. ;va;S;-:
February 13, 1958, is the tiling
deadline for-most families.
All farmers Interested In secur
ing the Farmer's Tax Guide tor
1955 can obtain one . by contacting
the county agent's -office,- Those
who find It inconvenient to visit the
office may request a copy by tele
phone or letter and a copy win be
mailed. The aupply Is sufficient to
provide a copy to almost all farm
families In the county.
