TWO SECTIONS TWELVE PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY, MAY 17, 1965 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS Lions, Jaycees To Sell Light Bulbs June 6 J. R. Sanders Speaks To Liont Thursday On Bond Buying , Lions of Morehead City, in con junction with Morehead City Jay cees, will conduct a light bulb sale Monday night, June 6, in Morehead ! City. ? The bulbs will be packaged by members of both organizations at Thursday night's meeting of the Lions. Eight bulbs will be placed in each bag and the bags will sefl for $2. Included in each bag will be one bulb of 100 watts, two of 75 watts, three of 60 watts, and two 50 watts. At Thursday's meeting Walton Fulcher. adjutant of the American Legion Post in Morehead City, ask ed the Lions whether they were going to sponsor a boy at Boys State again this year. The Lions voted unanimously to send a worthy boy from a county school. Cashier Speaks J. R. Sanders, cashier at the First-Citizens Bank and Trust Co. in Morehead City, spoke to the group about the whys and where fores of buying savings bonds. He stated that saving of money through these bonds would enable United States to have a sounder money in the future, since the money collected would help get the national government out of debt, and make the dollar worth 100 cents as in 1939, instead of 52 cents as is the case today. It was his contention that accum ulated savings helped build Amer ica's great economic system. I>escribes Bonds He described the two types of bonds now available, the Series E and the Series H bonds. Mr. Sanders told the group that there was a three-fold reason to buy the bonds: 1. They are the safest invest ment, starting with 3 per cent in terest at the end of six months. 2. Either plan (Series E or H) means systematic saving. 3. It will help the government fin ante the national debt and hold down inflation. In reference' to the second point he spoke about the payroll savings plan, wherein an employee can au thorize his employer to set aside a certain amount of his paycheck weekly for the purchase of bonds. There is also the bond-a-month plan at any bank. The latter plan authohrizes the bank to take a cer tain amount from a depositor's ac count each month for the purchase of a bond. $52 Spent The county welfare office an nounced through a letter to Presi* dent Owens Frederick that $52 had been spent for glasses to aid seven cases in the county. Two of the cases were from Stacy, two from Beaufort, and one each from New port, Harkers Island and Sea Level. The Lions finance these expendi tures under their sight conserva tion program. Under the same program the group voted $25 to the county wel fare department for the purchase of a glass eye for an Atlantic youngster. Hal Shapiro, newly - accepted member in the Lions Club, will pre sent the spelling award for the club at Camp Glenn School May 26. and Ralph Albares will make a similar award at the Atlantic School on the same date. Since many of the Lions have children who will be graduating May 26. the Lions meeting that night will not be held.
