Farmers Urged To Wait And See The

Some confusion has been created through various
interpretations of the Federal-Feed Grain law now be

We would like to suggest to farmers that no de
finite impressions be formed until after both the House
of Representatives and tie U. S. Senate have agreed on
the law as it will be in effect.

Hon-with Gordon Plake, our pro

oneerned for the boys. I asked
Mr. Blake what percentage of pro
bationed people returned in trouble
as these boys had. Blake said that
reports show that only 24 return
and the other 76 are never back.
On remarking to him that this was
much lower rate than Ihad thought
he said that it is only because we
hear of the bad cases and do not
hear about the cases who do not
return. This is a great saving to the
state. It costs $1000 per year to im
prison a man, that is over and a

hand it costs the State only $100. a
year to supervise and help a pro

bral palsey, congential deformities,
residual polio, amputees, arthritie,
multiple sclerosis, -muscular dys
trophy and crippling conditions due

Duplin County Easter Seal funds
are depleted. Twelve children and
eight adults were given aid during
the past' number of months -and
since Mrs. Rivenbark has been
chairman, several individuals have
been aided in having their braces
repaired and a wheel chair has
been provided for one person in the
county.
Mrs. Rivenbark stated that 40
of all funds collected are kept in
the county and used for crippled
victims.
She urges each individual to not
lay Seals aside when they come to
you through the mail, but to use
them on' your letters, packages and
cards and send your donation hi
as soon as possible.. , .
