Despite its name the national or ganization has no official ties with the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. However, Jaycee chapters may. work closely with Chambers of Commerce ' in- some communities, but they are very seldom . subservient. Of course as all may know the Warsaw chapter would gladly work with the Cham ber of Commerce .... but again, we all know that some would rather not rock the boat. , In the first place, a Jaycee chap ter does not have occupational classifications as a determination for membership as does, for exam ple, a Rotary club. This means that there can be no quetion of man's Post Office West in Warsaw. The post office -in Warsaw has been in , its present location since 1951. The quarters are cramped and much more space Is needecL-Fred J. Baars is postmaster and Page johnson is assistant postmaster. They have 10 employees. - Carolina will make a special ef fort to attend.

FHA Loans Double Collected 100 On Duplih County farm families bor rowed $790,000 from the Farmers Home Administration during the fiscal year ending on June 30,. 1961, according to a report this week by B. A.1 Parker! Jr., the agency's county supervisor.' This was moren than double the amoun tloaned lasr fiscal year. These funds included $340,000 for operating loan used by farmers to purchase machinery. Uvestoclr, and, farm supWes. andj $450.gna for real estate Joans V fur chase jind develop farms and con struct new f homes. This amount comperes with $337,00 total bor rowed last fiscal year and points up the increased demand for agri culturalcredit and home improve ments. - APPLICATIONS This 'past year, the office receiv ed 100. operating and 130 real estate applications from new families in addition .to applications from pre sently indebted borrowers. This is almost 100 more applications than received in 1960 fiscal year. To Be Held In Duplin Monday A meeting will be held at 6:30 p m. on Monday, July 24, at tne 10 bacco Variety Demonstration on the farm of E. J. Shaw, Beulavilie Shaw's Farm' is located about 4 miles from Beulavilie, in the Cedar Fork Community. Varieties in the Demonstration are: McNair 10. McNair 12, and seven (7 . Experimental Varieties, which are disease resistant. All of these Experimental Varieties are from the N. C. Experiment Station. Everyone interested in tobacco varieties are invited to attend this meeting. Roy R. Bennett. Exten sion Tobacco Specialist, from State College, will be at the meeting to discuss the varieties. eligibility ' regardless of how he makes his living. Young men ran ging in status from presidents of corporations to service station at tendants can work side-by-side in the Jaycees A .V The unique 21-36 year age limita tion's of the Jynior Chamber also fetamps it as different. Conserva tive and fence-straddling leaders seldom gain power in a Jaycee lo cal, but even if they do they cannot stay around long enough to block progress permanently. As . young men Jaycees occassionally ' make mistakes and attempt more than they can finish. More and othen than not, however, they surprise the older leaders Of other civic clubs by actually doing what these groups were reticent to try. The reason so many Junior Chamber of Commerce chapters embark upon controversial projects, ones which other organizations pass by, is be cause Jaycees would rather rock the boat than miss the boat. In other words, .Jaycees" who really look to the future realize more of ten than other organizations that you're got to start w k by gating off your iXi-'i i : r. Duplin Courtroom To Be Renovated In Near Future; Courthouse To Be Painted The . Courtroom in the Duplin County Court House is to get a complete renovation. County Auditor F. W. McGowan said today the County Board of Commissioners have given the go ahead for architects to draw plans for the renovation. The Courtroom ceiling is to be lowered, new lights and more lights are to be installed, a new Judge's bench constructed, the bar is to be enlarged, new bar rail built, new floor 'covering and new seats in stalled. The courtroom is to be air condi tioned, in such a manner as to eli minate the noise which was caus ed by the old window air condition ers. McGowan said the old air condi tions, which have been used very little, have been taken out of the courtroom already and installed in offices in the Agriculture Buil ''n"T Under the remodeling plan of the courtroom, the baicony will be re tained. . . A contract has been awarded to In Duplin Past Year Real Estate Loans COLLECTIONS Collections this year totaled $300, 000 and Was about the same as last year. All feal estate loan payments were collected 100 and only $1300 was delinquent on two operating loans. This gives a collection re cord of 99.6. In 1958, the amount collected was 95 ; in 1959, it was 98; and in 1960 it was 99.3. The past four years, it has increased to where it is nearly 100 at present. The Farmers HorherSyM tion program has seen a large in crease in this county this year with many new families - taking advan tage of the various loans to improve or construct new homes, enlarge their farms and become more ef ficient in farming by Increasing the size and amount of labor- sav ingequipment. Many borrowers have moved on to private sources of credit and many' have paid in full. ' Farm records have shown an in crease in the size of farms being operated. Incomes have increased along with net worth. More farmers are becoming successful by incor porating record keeping and farm planning into their overall farm management program. The new administration has made available ne wloans that will made available new loans that will present type loans are ndw avail able. We believe that the loans whi ch will be available for the new fis cal year will greatly increase the money loaned over that of this past j year. It is hoped that more Duplin families will take advantage of these new loans-for the coming year . Information on the new programs will be disseminated as soon as it becomes available. Information on the present program can be obtain ed at the county office located in the Agriculture Building in Ken ansvlUe. Town Board Makes Appointments . .

He has five, 10,000 capacity brol- er houses. Right now each house has a minimum of 10,500 birds. In Eastern North Carolina, broil er houses being filled to over cap acity is reported on every farm sur veyed, some with a greater over flow than the above sample. The latest report on broiler pla cements as published by the North arolina Crop Reporting Service, Raleigh, shows that for the week of July, 8, 12.1 percent more broilers were placed during the week than a year earlier. An increase of 14.1 per cent is also reported for broiler chicks hat ched for the week of July 8, over a j year earlier. Eggs set during the week repre sented an increase over the same week in 1960 of 17.9 per cent.
