Both the Short Course and the 4-year scholar ship to the State College of Ag riculture are offered by the Edu cational Bureau of the Chilean Nitrate Company. While in Raleigh attending the State meeting these club members will have an opportunity to visit the State Capitol and other points of interest in and near Raleigh. In addition to the recreation-1 al features of the Short Course, special courses are offered in crops, live stock, recreation, ag ricultural engineering, poultry, parliamentary procedure, per sonal improvement, and various subjects of general interest. Robert’s record was conduct ed in accordance with instruc tion from the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service and under the supervision of j G. E. Jones, Assistant County Farm Agent.

CLUB BOYS AND GIRLS (Continued from Page One) musical talent can be found among the group to devote a part of the program to entertain ment. Last year, the Johnston County 4-H string band, com posed of club boys from that county, made quite an impres sion with their arrangements of oldtime ballads. L. R. Harrill and Miss Frances MacGregor, State club leader and assistant club leader, res pectively, are in charge of the week’s activities, which include classroom work, addresses by outstanding men and women, sight-seeing, and organized re creation. Last year nearly 750 club mem bers from practically every county in the State attended the Short Course. An even larger number is expected this year, since the program is, according to those in charge, “the biggest and best ever planned.” TWO DIE IN ACCIDENTS (Continued from Page One) turned over several times and was badly damaged. Branch did not lose control of his car and it was slightly damaged. Young Kennedy at first was not thought to have been seriously injured and was taken to his home fol lowing first aid treatment but his condition became suddenly worse early Sunday afternoon and he died within a short time.

FREE TEXTBOOKS (Continued from Page One) .plan yesterday County Superin J tendent Johnson stated that the I maximum number of supple j mentary readers required for each pupil could now be rented for as little as 70 cents for the year. This plan particularly ap peals to the counties since the heavy outlay for this type of instructional equipment can now be eliminated and pupils get the latest material. Under the old plan of mass purchasing, a con siderable number of the books soon became obsolete and had to be replaced. In discussing school opening dates in this Counfy yesterday, I Superintendent Johnson stated | that he had suggested that schools open either on August 26th or 30th. However, only two schools have announced their opening dates, Calypso plans to open on August 26th while Ken ansville will observe August 31st as their opening date. Last year the earliest openings were on August 24th and some did not open until the second Mon day in September. The Wallace school opened last year on August 27th. TRANING CAMP QUOTA (Continued from Page One) Closkey, Commanding General Fort Bragg, is most anxious to see that the young men of North ! Carolina and South Carolina a 'vail themselves of the opportun ity to secure Uncle Sam’s prize 'one month summer vacation at the Citizen’s Military Camp, ! which is to be held at Fort I Bragg, the largest Artillery Post !in the United States, from Aug ust 3 to September 1. This op portunity will be lost to boys of | this County unless they enroll I quickly, according to informa i tion received from General Man us McCloskey, the Commanding General of Fort Bragg. Camp life featured by military drill under experienced regular army instructors is the main attraction in the mornings, while the afternoons are devoted to athletics and swimming.

An increase in the tax rate has been looming as a certainty foi* several years and only a close paring of the budget pre vented it from going well above the $1.50 mark this year. A tentative budget prepared by A. M. Pullen & Company, certified public accountants, provided for a rate of $195 for this fiscal year but by depleting certain items and reducing appropriations for others it was found possible to operate on the $1.50 rate. Items provided for in the new budget and the amount actually spent for^gach during the past fiscal year include: Police de partment, 1936-37, $1,938.26; 1937 38, $1,772.00. Fire department, 1936-37, $916.06; 1937-38, $425.00. Water department, 1936-37, $3, 366.29; 1937-38, $2,580.00. Street department, 1936-37, $2,710.00; 1937-38, $2,850.00. General gov ernment, 1936-37, $2,122.67; 193.7 38, $2,510.00. Miscellaneous, 1936 37, $86.75; 1937-38, $100.00. Debt service, 1936-37, $5,600.00; 1937 38, $6,905.00.

DIRECTOR PLEASED (Continued from Page One) Mrs. John Wells was recently appointed WPA librarian here and she, together with two as sistants, are now engaged in classifying the books which are available to the public. An aver age of 30 books daily are now being taken out and this num ber is expected to show a healthy increase since a full time libra rian is now on duty from 2 to 4:30 each day. As soon as work of classifying the books has been completed it is probable that morning hours will also be ob served. SET DATE FOR FIELD (Continued from Page One) mer years.

Gov ernor Hoey is scheduled to de liver the principal speech of the day. W. Kerr Scott, Commis sioner of Agriculture, will also be present and speak in addi tion to others whose names have not yet been revealed. The Field Day this year will be the 21st annual event of its kind staged at the Station, and like those of former years is expected to draw several thou sand visitors to this section.

Since farmers have until Oc tober 31 to plant certain con serving crops and start soil building practices under the 1937 program, the task of checking compliance cannot be fully com pleted until after that date. Supervisors in this County will be required to visit more than 2,000 farms, according to County Agent W. D. Reynolds. ALDERMAN GATHER (Continued from Page One) added interest to the day. Clyde King, Superintendent of Moore’s Creek National Military Park and research worker in this sec tion’s history, related the origin of Nigger Head Road from 1776, when an outlaw was captured, killed and his head was stuck up on the road near Wilming ton.
