PRICE TEN CENTS Board meeting in Kenansville this week. Brown has been a member of the Board since December, 1952. Ke is a native of the Beulavllle communitv. In other action, the Board voted to assist with the financing of the white fringe beetle control pro gram now underway in the Warsaw and Faison communities. Part of this program, federally sponsored, is being paid for by the landown ers. Vernon H. Reynolds, County Farm Agent, said the white fringe beetle has been in the two sec tlons for about IS years but has never been wiped out. This effort is designed to wipe out the beetle. Reynolds said that the beetle grub attacks roots of plants. On farms where the white fringe beetle is found, that farm Is under a federal quarantine. This means that certain type crops can not move freely from the farms infested. Tax Collector Harry Phillips re ported to the Board that collec tions for November were down over the corresponding month year ago. The current month col lections were $44,367.04. Novem ber, 1958 collections were $57,799.14.
