Hike W$ Cecils
By Paul Barwick
The Duplin County tax rate for
the 1960-61 fiscal year has been set
at $1.60 per $100 valuation, which
represents a tax ' increase oi 25
cents over the previous fiscal year.
The County Board of Commission
ers have adopted a budget for 1960
61 of $1,731,457.72.
T:ie largest single increase in
the budget is nine and one-halt cents
for County Debt service; The rea
son for this, according to County
Auditor F. W. McGowen, is that
last year a large amount of money
was on hand which was used to pay
this County Debt Service interest
on bonds and to retire some of
the principal. This year, there was
none, which made the large in
crease mandatory.
None-recurring expenses included
in the new budget are the property
evaluation and County Accountant
expenses necessary for the required
revaluation program. Four cents of
the tax dollar will go to the County
Accountant office and seven and
one-half cents for the revaluation.
Of the tax dollar in Duplin, the
biggest single item is for school im
provements. The School Capital outlay calls
for a tax levy of 54 cents of the
tax dollar. The total amount set
aside in the School Capital Outlay is

Defensive priving Could Be Your Life Saver
That ol' familiar long holiday
week end which is usually deadly
on highways, at beaches and lakes
all across the United States. . . and
in North Carolina as well.
Friday afternoon July 1, the long
July 4, holiday week end will be un
derway. It will not end until Mon
day night, July 4.
This is the kind of week end
which makes for tired drivers, care
less drivers, non-precautious swim
mers. The result is unnecessary
loss of life.
The North Carolina highway pat
rol will be out in force throughout
the week end, but the highway pat
rol points out that without the coop
eration of all motoris.s that the
highway death toll with mount.
Because the National Safety Coun
cil predicts 500 to 600 people to die
on the nation's highways, that does
n't mean it must come true. The
prediction for the coming July 4
holiday week end has not been
made public at this writing.
As a means of preventing high
way accidents, not only at holidays,'

when the program will begia.
$323,440. The 54 cents represents an
increase in Capital Outlay of three
and one-half cents.
McGowen points out this increase
is made in order that mirey can be
raised for the construction of the
proposed East Duplin Consolidated
high school, which wouM consoli
date high schools of Chinquapin,,
Beulaville and B. F. Grady.
7"hc position which is taken by
the Board of Commissioners is to
improve the school system without
having to borrow money, thus sav
ing considerable interest on borrow
ed money.
Records show that since July 1,

At Stormy Stabilization Meeting
Farmers Advised Not To Use iVlH-30
On Tobacco Until Proven In Research
By Paul Barwick
The annual meeting of the Flue
Cured Tobacco Cooperative Stabili
zation in Raleigh last Thursday was
the most stormy ever hrld in the
14 years and organization has been
in existance.
It was all over the chemical Mil
30 and its ue.
From the beginning of the meet
ing, it was obvious that the recom
mendation of the Board of Directors
of Stabilization not to use MH-30 or.
tobacco for sucker control until it
has either been proven or disproven
would create ill-tempers and harsh
statements before the m e e t i n g

HENDERSON MAKES STATEMENT
FOR DUPLIN TIMES
"As I look back over the five
months campaign, 1 am amazed as
I realize that a country boy from
(he small town of Wallace, has
been elected to the Congress of the
United States of America, the high
est law making body in our nation.
The only way I know I can fully
thank my many friends, supporters
and all of the people of the third
Congressional District is by dedica
ting my life to serving with honor
and distinction so that our people
will know their efforts are not in
vain.
"I do not beileve I could ever be
closer to the people of my hme
town of Wallace and my home coun
ty of Duplin which paid me the high
est compliment of such a tremen
dous majority, and to all of the
people of the entire third District
who received me so warmly as 1
campaigned in various communi
ties.
"I plan to spend the coming days
of this week travelling in each
county and thanking everyone that
congested areas, the speed limit is
always reduced to meet the existing
conditions. This is a phase of driv-
ing which is often ignored. Is should
be remembered that the highway
department knows where dangerous
locations are and the signs are
there for the safety of all drivers
at a highway

the boys and I will take the vaca
tion so many of you have said we
deserve. After that I will direct my
efforts toward serving tie fine
people of the third Congressional
