Space Savers In Kitchen
Ever wonder how your
measuring spoons find their
way in the drawer that also
contains spatulas, last
week's mail, and the birth
day candles? It rqay be
disorganization, or it may be
lack of space.
So find out. first, if you
need more space in the
kitchen. Clean out closets,
the pantry and other storage
areas. Discard or give away
those utensils and supplies
that you don't use.
Then wash 'he remaining
contents, if the items need a
washing. And wash the
shelves and interior cabinets.
Replace those often-used
supplies. Then, if more room
is still needed, try some
space-savers.
One idea is to use peg
board. which can hold any-,
thing from the measuring
spoons to pots and pans,
laslcs graters and salad
tongs.
it s easy to nang mat
pcgboard on walls above the
work areas, or cut it to fit
inside cabinets of doors. An
alternative would be decora
tive hooks.
To further alleviate clutter,
there arc pot and pan. and
pot cover racks--and racks to
hold pie. cake and muffin
pans as well as platters.
Stacking dinnerware and
cup keepers, and single or
twin turntables can also aid
in cabinet cleanup. A trash
bag and cleanup caddy--or
feud wrap and broom and
mop holder can be attached
to doors. And you can use
drawer dividers to organize
ptensils and silverware.
Step-up shelves, which
save spac e and work, allow
storage at a glance. Smaller
packages and bottles can be
placed on bottom shelves and
graduated sized put on top
shelves.

Budget Vote Will Increase Taxes I
Duplin Count} residents
will fate a property tax
increase of 5 cents per $100
assessed valuation for the
next fiscal year. The new rate
will be 75 cents.
While the county commis
sioners failed to vote on a tax
resolution as they have done
in previous years, the in
crease was mandated in the
1083-84 fiscal year budget,
which the board approved in
a split vote late Tuesday
night.
Minutes of the budget
meetings of recent years
show the board has usually
first approved a tax rate
resolution and then a separ
ate budget resolution.
Making the budget motion
was Chairman W.J. Costin of
Warsaw. Dovie Penney of
Wallace seconded it. Others
voting for the resolution were
Allen Nethercutt of Chinqua
pin and Calvin Turner of
eastern Duplin.
Opposing the budget was
D.J. Fussell of Rose Hill.
"I'm opposed to the tax rate
increase," Fussell said. "If
we cut the fat out. we won't
need a tax increase."
The increase will bring in
about $320,000 next year.
The full levy will fund i4.84
million of the $8.3 million
budget, based ona 95 percent
collection rate and an as
sessed property valuation of
about $674 million.
If 100 percent of the levy
were collected, revenues
would total $5,055 million.
Each penny of tax levy will
bring in $64,000 at the 95
percent collection rate.
The county usually collects
more than 95 percent of its
levy, with anything above
average going into a reserve
fund.
Under the new rate, a ,
person with $50,000 worth of
real and personal property
will be billed $375 thlc fal! in
county taxes, up from $350
last year.
The new . budget is about
$200,000 less than the bud
get approved a year ago for
the current fiscal year, but
that budget included reven
ue-sharing money. Because
of the uncertainty surround
ing the federal revenue-shar
ing program, no funds from
that source were included in
the new budget.
If - ? -
ii congress appropriates
new revenue-sharing money,
some will go to the school
system and to James Sprunt
Technical College in
Kenansville. The county
expects to receive $431,000
in the current fiscal year,
which ends June 30.
County officials try to
maintain a cash reserve of
$500,000. The reserve has
been depleted to just under
half that amount.
The new budget provides
no money for Duplin General
Hospital, although the
county will have money avail
able in reserve funds and
through an intensified effort
to collect delinquent taxes.
"We need to see what
develops (at the hospital)
over the next few months,"
Costin said. "We need to see
what support the physicians
will give the hospital. The
new physicians will support
it if they stay any length of
time. The lease is up in
September and it's hard to
make any decision right
now."
Mrs. Penney said, "We
spent tax money to get the
consultant's report and we
should follow that report as
closely as possible."
County Manager Ralph
Cottle said the budget pro
vides a pay increase only for
employees who ha\c served
for four years without an
increase. It provides $5,000
for an employee reclassifica
tion project to be undertaken
in January by the N.C.
Institute of Government.
The board rejected the
Sheriff's Department's
i
request for six new automo
biles and the county indus
trial development commis- ,
sion's request for one car. It
reduced a $5,000 budget
increase request for the
Mental Health Department
to $1,500, providing the de
partment with $96,500 for
next year.
The Sheriff's Department
will be authorized to replace
some failing television
cameras and monitors at the
county jail.
The county school system I
will receive $1,890,586 for'
operating expenses, the
same as in 1982-83. The
system's capital budget will
be reduced to $200,000 from
$235,664 requested.
James Sprunt Technical
College will receive $282,550
for operations and $46,364
for capital projects.
Time To Control Suckers
J. Michael Moore, Duplin J
tobacco agent, advises that
"timeliness is the key to ^
good sucker control."
More said. "Research
shows that we lose 27 pounds .
of tobacco per acre per day
for each day's delay in
applying sucker controls."
The first application of a (
:ontact sucker control
:hemical should be applied
Ahen 35-50% of plants in a
field reach the button or ball
stage.
Use 2 gallons of chemical
n 48 gallons of water per
icre. The spray should be
directed at the button or ball
so it will collect and run down
[he stalk killing suckers all
[he way down.
Top those plants which are
readv and sorav aeain in 5 to
7 days. Top those plants
which are ready and delay
application of MH for seven
days. In order for the sucker
control to work as desired, it
is important to start early
and use the right combina
tion of chemical and water.
Moore commented that the
tobacco crop is very irregular
and many growers may need
to start application of con
tacts earlier than they realize
in order to obtain control.
Moore is available to talk
with farmers as they make
decisions on sucker control
by calling the Duplin County
AES at 296-1996.
