' Farm Agent Asks Farmers' Aid j In Annual Census j R. M. Williams, county farm agent. urges all farmers to co operate in the annual collection of farm data to be carried out during January when taxes are listed. "In the present national emer gency," he states, "with allotments and controls in effect on many pro duction materials, the farm infor , mation will be used to prove and support farmers' needs for more ' farm machines such as tractors, cultivators and other farm equip ment. During world war II farm census data was used as a basis in allocation of badly-needed farm gasoline and farm machinery." Soon, he continues, every farmer in the county will receive trom the County Production Marketing asso ciation a letter containing a small . form for the recording of the data. This form, he points out, will call for the same information as that desired by the farm census enum erator. "The purpose of furnishing ?ach farmer with one of these forms is to enable him to make a more accurate report when this informa tion is given in to the farm census enumerator who is the regular tax lister in each township." So that the work of the tax lister may be speeded up, Williams asks all farmers to fill out the form and take it with them at the time they list their taxes in January. "If this procedure is followed, the enumerator can copy the infor mation on his report without de lay," said the farm agent. Kveryone realizes, continues Wil liams. that the greatest handicap of all has been the lack of under standing in regard to the purpose, need, use. and value of these an nual farm inventorial figures. "The annual collection of farm facts enables agricultural workers at all levels to prepare effective farm programs in the interest of all farmers. Certainly if agricul ture is to proceed in a business like manner, it must have figures . on which to base its planning. There are many material advan r tages in having up-to-date, accurate and adequate information. "Our state farm census provides the only satisfactory basis for com piling reliable annual county esti mates of crop acreages and other farm facts. It is the best indica tion of changes in crop acreages and livestock production. Jt pro vides valuable data on the number of brood sows, milch cows and hens, farm machinery, grain, and hay crops as well as the rural farm population," the farm agent con cluded.

For these services, from these very wonderful friends, I have never been charged, and I am so very grateful. "Although I am isolated in a way, from my community, and can only see a small part of it from my window. I know the people out there are good. I believe that they will all join hands and help in this fight against tuberculosis. Had I known as you must know now, that a chest X-ray each year in an adult is a MUST, then my trouble could have been found In its early stages and I could have been well now. "Yes, Mrs. Spivey, I will help in this fight against tuberculosis, I know that you can count on all my neighbors, too. If there is anyone in Carteret county who does not believe that tuberculosis can get a man down and keep him there, tell them to write me. My beloved wife Laila takes care of me and each Christmas I hope and hope that by next Christmas I will be able to attend Christmas services at our church. It is a long ways to travel though, when you have tu berculosis, now I can only watch my family and friends from my door and my windows and can only dream of the time when I can move freely among those in my commun ity. All that I ask of life is the op portunity to work, love and serve my family and my community. "They tell me that according to present statistics that next year 100,000 people will have tuberculo sis who don't have it this year. I sincerely hope that this does nof happen, because I know what it means. I want to tell all of the people to guard their lives care fully. -get that examination, get that chest X-ray. I think it is nice for us to have an organization like the Carteret County TB associa tion to help us in securing our X rays. In my own family we have to have from six to eight a year, this is rather expensive for farmers. "I appreciate the fact that some one thought I might help and I will keep the little box with the double barred-cross just outside my door and will buy Christmas Seals with its contents. 1 hope that there will be enough in my box to pay for at least one X-ray and I would be glad to know that that X-ray would keep someone from having to spend years in bed as I have had to do."

Amphiirile, Death Yackl, I Fueled al Norehead City | It was reported in Tuesday's paper that nobody in Beaufort or Morehead City had a record of or had seen the yacht, Amphitrite. Now everybody seems to have seen it. y The yacht, a 96-foot craft, found ered off Cape Fear Monday. Nov. 26, and as a result, eight persons died. It was reported then that the yacht was bonnd for Charleston from Morehead City. Later it was stated that the yacht had departed from Beaufort. It has finally been established that the Amphitrite left Morehead City where it was tied up for three days at port terminal. It arrived in Morehead City Saturday, Nov. 24. and after fueling and lying at dock over the weekend, it left Mon day the 26th for Charleston, S. C? its final destination being the Vir gin Islands, according to Bob Hicks, manager of the Esso ter minal. Hicks said that the yacht was in "terrible shape" and not sea worthy but its sailing could not be prevented because it was not of United States registry. It was registered at Costa Rica. For that reason the yacht owner was not re quired to comply with United States safety regulations. THE NEWS-TIMES also received reports Wednesday to the effect that the Amphitrite had also been tied up in Beaufort, but these were found to be incorrect. Newport (Continued from page one) that J. F. Gillespie, a Jacksonville contractor, had expressed interest in erecting the tank. Town Pays $125 The board agreed to pay $125. its share of the firemen's dues, and authorized the sale ot the town Chevrolet truck to Ivy Haskett for $25. unless another man who of fered $35 pays the $35 within 10 days. Commissioner Ormsliy Mann re ported that two new oil-burning space heaters had been installed, one to heat the town hall and the other to heat the fire station. It was suggested that Police Chief Charles Garner look after the heaters and that Wheeler Smith, who lives across from the town hall and fire station, see that the tanks are kept full. Since only one person showed up to pay his taxes during the four Saturday afternoons the town clerk spent at the town hall, taxes will continue to be collected at ihe W. II. Bell residence. The mayor stated thai blinkdLs have not been put up at either end of town on highway 70 because only one blinker is on hand at present. He said that the state will be asked to put large red re flector signs on the sharp curve on the prison camp road. The commissioners discussed building a jail but dismissed the idea and they paid the bills for November. X SAV, > STOP IN AT ?? 6UTNUE-J0NIS 1 DRU6C9 I .
