Off Budget Work To Busy Session T. Foy Simmons of New Bern and Pollocksville was one of those last Sunday who attended' -and received his “Golden Anni versary” certificate when the annual meeting of old grads froin the University of North Carolina was held in the Carolina Inn at Chapel Hill. Simmons, a member of the class'of *98, received his “Golden Anniversary” certificate last year. This year all Surviving members of the Class of ’99 re ceived similar certificates. Up until this yearns ceremony only SUt graduates of the oldest State university in the nation had re ceived this certificate. at Comfort at Cove City but the mortgage only covers the 65 acres fit cultivation. It was agreed that the bank should pay taxes on a valuation of $2, 900, leaving a valuation of $415 for. the 191 acres of wood lands oh the farm. jm In their regular ihonthly meet ing Monday, the Jones County Board of Commissioners had contemplated reviewing the bud get for the coming fiscal year but a steady stream of visitors—-all seeking more money—caused the. budget to be put aside until a later special meeting that was to be called this week some time. Fire "Warden Elwood McDan iel was the first caller of the morning and he askeg for an additional appropriation for his department to permit the joint purchase of some fire fighting equipment with neighboring 'counties. Commissioner J. called the board’s atten to a letter he had gotten from'the Veterans’ service offi cer in Kinston in which the county was notified that the State had' appropriated* up to $1,000 which when matched with county funds could be used for the employment of a service of ficer for the county. Later ht the meeting John Larkins, Jr.^gnd Nick Nobles both made state*, ments in connection with this proposition and the final consen sus of the board seemed to be toward an appropriation of about $300, which added to $300 from the State fund would permit Ore employment pf a part time ser: vice officer from the county. pollock dp Zell Elizabeth House, head of the State’s rural library service de partment, appeared before the commissioners along, with Home Agent Helen Loftin to explain the benefits available to the county under present appropria tions. Miss House said $3,240 was allotted to each county for maintenance of a bookmobile which carries library service to fidoor of rural people. She ited out that with this alloca and a $900 appropriation un Jones County the service >uld be started with the coop eration of either Onslow or Le noir County. The budget of the Welfare De partment was approved and it calls for $90 more than last year’s. Members of the Welfare Board and Superintendent Joe Koonce presented the budget Denford Eubanks presented a petition asking the opening up of a road on Harry Waller’s farm in PoHbcksvjUe Township that would connect tyro dead end' roads which now cause property owners and school bus drivers a lot ■ of inconvenience. This was favorably acted upon. After hearing the report of Miss House and recommenda tions "of Mrs. Loftin and Larkins and Noble on the rural library service the board adjourned un til a called meeting when the budget^ will have top priority. * Cotton, still far ip thd lead nong textile fibers, supplied . 14 per cent of'the nation’s.tex tile nee«ls in 1948, coinpared to SM per cent in 1947,# 6S.8 per n&KUWHtes ffipwz •, |pgf| n Although rain caused a small vote to be east in practically every precinct in the county two of the 892 who ventured forth were caught here as they went through the Voting mill at the court house in Trenton Saturday morning.

Eleanor Grace ' Jenkins, 12 year-old daughter of Mr. an* Mrs. L. T. Jenkins el Treqton '' ■ ^ recov stof>ped in the yard of her home to play with a smaller sister and while playing she||tepped on the deadly snake. Her leg began swelling imme diately and h^r-parents rushed her to Parrott ^Memorial Hospit al in Kinston where Dr. B. C. West administered snake bite serum. She remained in the hospital overnight for observa tion and returned home tb$ next day. ' Seven days later she broke out in a rash" and her jjferents again returned her to the Kinston hos pital but Dr. West could nobrbe contacted so she was taken to Memorial General Hospital, also in Kinston, where the rash was diagnosed as a reaction to appen dicitis. Mr. Jenkins was not satisfied with this diagnosis and returned her to Parrott Memorial Hospit al where Dr. West was finally contacted. He said the rash was a reaction to the snake bite ser um. The unlucky little girl is now recovering satisfactorily from her encounter with the deadly reptile. CROPS IMPROVING In spile of the heavy hail two weeks ago Thursday, most of the tobacco fields of Lenoir and Jones County that were damaged are now coming out and are looking as if they will produce a fair -to good crop with good luck and good wea ther from here until housing time. In the Wyse Fork-Vine Swamp section where concen tration of the icy- pellets seemed to be heaviest the crops are beginning to pick up their head and are growing fast and are g&wing fast again. About 30 par cent damage is the heaviest claim that any of tlw insurance cmbduiSm paid oft on from thi* icy storm.
