County 4-H livestock members
will again compete for medals
in the Thomas E. Wilson Na
tional Meat Animal Contest, in
which 3400 4-H clubsters in the
United States have won the co

The medal and other awards
in the contest now in its eighth
year, have encouraged thousands
of boys to master the problems
of successful livestock produc

and elevated the business to the
high rank it should hold. Hun
dreds of young men have been
able to acquire a valuable know
ledge of animal husbandry and
own superior stock through their
participation in the contest.
Over 200 boys have won gold
watches as state prizes, 28 have
received trips to the National

SAD DAY WHEN PRO
HIBITION ENDED
To the Editor.
Enough has been written on
the liquor question to convert
every drunkard in America. But
alas, Ephrium is joined to her
idols. Only the powerful hand
of Almighty God can check this
flow of poison that is damning
our youth as well as old. Prohi
bition was never perfect. So
is no other law, but to me it
was a sad day when it sank be
hind American hills. And sad
der still when those that placed
the evil here in reach of all,
are called face to face to meet
their Judge, and asked to give
an account of their Stewardship
on Election day. God forbid that
I ever cast a single vote that
may cause my brother to stum
ble. Our Government making
and selling alcohol for gain has
not changed its effects on any
single human, it’s always the

the keeper there was a big tump

him it was because he had stop

PRAISES COOPERATION
SHOWN FESTIVAL
To the Editor:
We would like to add our con
gratulations to those already re
ceived by Mayor Harrell, our
Festival host, and hostess, the
Woman’s Club, and all who ably
planned and carried out so suc
cessfully the Strawberry Festi
val. We commend the spirit of
co-operation of Dr. Dearing, our
sister community, Penderlea,
and every one who aided. It
makes no difference how great
the ability of those who origin
ated and planned the great fete,
they could not have carried it
out without this wholehearted
co-operation.
This alone stresses what can
be accomplished by having a
purpose and all working togeth
er in perfect harmony. It was
a great fete and we congratulate
you on your success. So many

things were accomplished
through this one fete.
It was “fitting” at the close of
the strenuous work of the berry
season to lay aside cares for this
period of recreation; it staged a

realize that we are one people,

one great brotherhood, each a

Selling North Carolina
W4*4“MmHm|»A44»4hI.4n|i+*
Guy A. Cardwell,
Agricultural & Industrial Agent,
Atlantic Coast Line R. R. Co.
I recently attended a confer
ence devoted to discussing ways
and means of selling North Caro
lina.
The Director of the State De
partment of Conservation and
Development has been chosen to
do the selling. The Department
has been assigned a sum of mon
ey by the Legislature to be used
by the Director and his board of
advisors in advertising the State.
I must say that the Director and
his board seem duly impressed
with the responsibility that is
theirs. They want to get re
sults; and they are going to try
to show the people some returns
for the money expended.
In spite of wonderful advant
ages possessed by the State of
North Carolina, and regardless
of the amount of money turned
over to the Department of Con
servation and Development with
which to advertise the State, I
wish to make it clear that thei
job of selling is not theirs alone; I
it is the job of every man and I
woman, ana ot every youth re
siding in the State. We must
each do our part towards state
beautification. We must be
thoughtful of the appearance of
the home premises and the
landscape along the highways
and railroad rights-of-way. We
should avoid littering the face
of the earth with paper, tin
cans, bottles and other trash.
These do not improve the scen
ery; on the contrary they often
make an otherwise lovely road
side look like a dump.
We might, with profit to the
state and community in which
we live, display friendliness and
thoughtful courtesy towards
strangers, without burdening
them with attention. A friendly
gesture, a smile, a pleasant word,
will do much to make strangers
within our borders feel that they
are accepted as friends. They
should not be subjected to cold
scrutiny as specimens from an
alien people.
wime imiuic licto uuiie uiuuii
for North Carolina, the aspect
of some regions is Unattractive;
though progress has been made
during recent years in landscape
beautification and home im
provement. However, we still
have the forest fire “sore-spot”
with us, and burned over areas,
blackened and ugly, are too fre
quently projected into the pano
rama that unfolds before the
eyes of the stranger causing him
to shudder and hurry along in
stead of lingering where Mother
Nature intended a landscape
made beautiful by evergreen
pine trees. But this is only one
of the traveller’s disappoint
ments. Unpainted, unwhite
washed houses, ramshackle fen
ces with gates off the hinges,
broken down shacks, and the ab
sence of flowers and shrubs and
well conditioned lawns all add
to his disappointment.
There are many people who
venture South for the first time
thrilled by impression they have
received from song and story
telling of the mysterious and
altogether lovely Southern coun
try. Just imagine their impres
sions when the glamour is re
moved from their eyes and they
see the counrty in its naked ug
liness. Do you recognize the
picture, or do you think I have
exaggerated?
There are lovely spots and at
tractive homes throughout the
South that impress one as being
occupied by people taking pride
in their surroundings, but these
are far too infrequent to change
the impression already recorded.
If we want to make a good im
pression on tourists, home seek
ers, and industrialists, we must
beautify our State so that it will
be attractive when it is viewed
through New England, New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illin
ois, Indiana, Iowa and Wiscon
sin eyes.
I still recall my first impres
sions of the English and Danish
countryside; the beauty and or
derly appearance of the coun
try. Lovely flower gardens, well
cared for shrubs and vines in
orderly and attractive array, de
corated and made beautiful what
would otherwise have been hum
ble and ordinary homes. Such
loveliness is unforgetable; it
calls to us to come again.
I believe it would bring prac
tical results as well as deep sat
isfaction if a movement could
be started, and carried through
having for its purpose the im
provement and beautification of
North Carolina homes and their
surroundings, especially the
farm homes bordering on the
railroads and highways. The
planting of small grains and
winter legumes on all available
acres — a blanket of green —
would make a vast change in
the appearance of the country
in winter.
I was much impressed by an
article by a Nebraska woman
published several years ago in
an agricultural journal, the
name which I have forgotten. I
made a record of the article, and
I am giving it to you as I think
the thoughts conveyed therein
could be used to advantage in
preparing North Carolina and
other Southern States to receive
the thousands of visitors who
now make an annual trek by
train and by motor from the
North and West to the South.
The article referred to follows:
“The home ground improve
ment idea is fast taking hold in
the rural districts where beau
tiful surroundings are so impor
tant a factor in making the
youngsters proud of their farm
home. The value of beautiful
trees, shrubs, and flowers to a
home cannot be estimated. The
paint companies say ‘save the
surface and you save all’. It is
true that paint preserves wood,
and paint alone cannot give the
atmosphere of home to a set of
buildings. The plantings which
‘tie’ the buildings to the ground
and soften harsh outlines with
their natural beauty are the only
improvements that can be made
on a place which will increase
in value with age.”
great capacity, is very evident
It also gave us an opportunity
to renew our Southern hospitali
ty, causing us to realize that it
still lives through in our modern
times of mad rush, automobiles,
cafes and hotels, it seemed so
fast dying out.
We would also like to com
mend and congratulate the Edi
tor and staff of the Wallace En
terprise tor your painstaking
labor and successful edition of
the special edition and others.
It is appreciated.

COUNTY ACCOUNTANT
(Continued from Page One)
age assistance; the State one
fourth; and the County one
fourth. A separate tax levy will
be made for “Old age Assis
tance.”
It is estimated that 274 per
sons in Duplin County will be
eligible for “Old Age Assistance.”
The estimate of the maximum
average monthly grant under
“Old Age Assistance” is $12.20.
This will cost the county appro
ximately $10,000.00, and will in
crease the tax rate approximate
ly nine (9) cents on the one
hundred dollars of property val
uation. The total amount to be
expended in the county for “Old
Age Assistance” is estimated at
$40,112.00, annually.
Aid to Dependent Children
Dependent Child, under the
law, means a child under six
teen years of age who is living
with his or her father, mother,
grandfather, grandmother, bro
ther, sister, stepfather, stepmo
ther, stepbrother, stepsister, un
cle or aunt, in a place or resi
dence maintained by one or more
of such relatives as his or her
home; who has resided in the
State of North Carolina for one
year immediately preceding the
application for aid; or who was
born within the State within
one year immediately preceding
the application; if the mother
has resided in the State for one
year immediately preceding the
birth; and who has been depriv
ed of parental support or care
by reason of the death, physical
or mental incapacity or continu
ed absence from the home of a
parent, and who has no ade
quate means of support: Provid
ed that in all cases of desertion
every effort shall be made un
der the law to apprehend the
parent and charge him with the
support of the child.
Laws providing for “Mother’s
Aid” are repealed.
To be eligible to receive aid
for a dependent child or chil
dren, the home must be main
tamed safely and properly.
The maximum amount to be
allowed per month shall not ex
ceed $18 for one child and $12
additional per month for each
of the other dependent children
in the home eligible to receive
assistance: Provided, the total
amount shall not exceed $65, ex
cept in extraordinary circum
stances in which it appears to
the satisfaction of the State
Board that a total of $65, per
month would be insufficient to
secure the purpose above set
forth.
The Federal Government pays
one-third of the cost of aid to
Dependent Children; the State
one-third; and the County one
third. A separate tax levy will
be made for “Aid to Dependent
Children.”
It is estimated that 243 chil
dren under sixteen (16) years
of age will be eligible for aid
under the “And to Dependent
Children” title. The estimate
of the maximum average month
ly grant to dependent children
is $5.65. This will cost the
County approximatelv $5,000.00.
and will increase the tax rate ap
proximately five (5) cents on
the one hundred dollars of pro
perty valuation. The total
amount to be expended in the
county for aid to Dependent
children is estimated at $16,476
annually.
There is a State Equalizing
Fund for both titles of the Act,
but before the County can par
ticipate in said fund, the rate
of tax necessary to be levied
shall exceed ten cents on the
one hundred dollar valuation of
taxable property, and then the
County can only receive three
fourths of the cost in excess of
the amount produced by a levy
and collection of a tax rate of
ten cents on the one hundred
dollar valuation of taxable pro
perty.
Aid to the Blind
Direct benefits, not to exceed
$30 per month, will be paid to
the needy blind.
To be eligible for this assis
tance, a person must have been
a resdient of this State for five
out of the nine years preced
ing the application, and one year
immediately preceding the ap
plication; whose vision is 20-200
or less in th# better eye with
correcting glasses; who is un
able to provide for his subsis
tence; and who has no relatives
in the State able to provide, and
legally responsible for him.
An inmate of the County Home
or a public institution may make
application for blind assistance
and receive it if other wise eli
gible, and he is able to maintain
himself outside the institution I
upon receiving benefits. Appli
cations are made to the Board
of County Commissioners.
The Federal Government pays
pne-half of aid to the blind; the
State one-fourth; and the Coun
ty one-fourth. The tax levy for
the County’s part of aid to the
blind will be a separate one
from those for old age assistance
and aid to Dependent Children.
It is estimated that ‘Aid to the
Blind” will cost the county ap
proximately $1,025.00 annually,
and that the tax rate will be in
creased one cent
hundred dollars of
uation to supply
the total amount to be a
ed in the county for “A
Blind” Is estimated at
annually.
Summary
Summarizing, it is
that 550 persons, or one
every 68 persons in the
will receive $60,688.00 anni
in benefits from “Old Age
sistance,” “Aid to
Children," and “Aid to
Blind,” and that the county-?
tax rate will be increased a|
ximately 15 cents on the_
hundred dollars of property vjt |
uation to provide the county*# ;
