His work with on-farm testing and demonstration plots has helped Duplin farmers have available close at home in formation that helps them as they make decisions regard ing their own production practices.

Duplin Will Help Pay For Trips Duplin County cannot afford a van and driver to transport 12 kidney patients to Wilmington three times a week for dialysis treatment, but will pay each patient S8 toward the cost of each trip, the county commissioners decided Monday. The group had asked the county board on Sept. 1 for a van and driver to replace aid from the National Kidney Foundation, which will end Nov. 1. The board decided it could not afford a new van and that it would incur too much liability if it used an old van it already owns. It will use Title 20 federal funds from the Department of Social Ser vices to pay 75 percent of travel expenses of $14,976 to the kidney patients. The board unanimously voted $3,744 for the county's share. Payments are ex pected to start about Nov. 1 after administrative details are worked out. The pay ments will be made to the patients even if they travel together. In other action, the board on first reading unanimously awarded a cable television franchise to Univision of Richlands. the only bidder for a county wide system. A second reading is required. Seven of the 10 towns in the county have voted to accept Univision. for which customers will be charged $8 95 a month. Univision. which wiH pay the county a royalty of 3 percent of its net revenues, promised to serve 75,80 percent of 14.UUU county homes within two years. . The board passed on final reading a bill which will bring building inspection into line with the state codes. After Dec. 1. the county, which now checks only elec trical work and insulation, will carry out full inspec tions. c On first reading Oct. 5. Commissioner D.J. Fussell objected that the cost level of $90,000 at which a building would be required to have an architect was too low. At today's prices, he said, not much of a building can be built for that price. The minimum should be more than $100,000, he sug gested. He made the same objection Monday but with onlv a majority required on second reading, the bill passed. The vote was the same as on Oct. 5: against, Fussell; for. W.J. Costin. Franklin Williams. Calvin Turner and Allen Nethercutt. The board adopted unani mously a resolution pre sented by Melvin Williams, chairman of the Duplin County Democratic Commit tee. The resolution asks that in -edistricting of the state, now being undertaken for a second time this year by the General Assembly, Sampson be a one-county, one-seat district and Duplin and Jones be a two-county, one-seat district. If that does not work out. the resolution called for Duplin and Sampson to be together as two-county. t4T^ seat district. Duplin now is, p a district with Pender and Brunswick counties. The commissioners appro priated $.1,500 to replace the gasoline pump used by county cars and $775 to buy a cash register so cash receipts in the register of deeds office can be centrally located. The board also passed a resolution asking Carolina Power & Light Co. not to raise rates. Gurganus To Head N.C. 2000 In Duplin County Governor Jim Hunt an nounced the appointment of 1 John H.
