It is a 150-speaker drivein the ater and is expected to be ready for business in the next few weeks. Charles Broadway of Grain gers is owner and will be opera tor of the new theater. It will be Lenoir County’s third outdoor theater with one now in opera tion on the Goldsboro highway about thre# miles west of Kins ton and C. B. Hayworth’s Motor Park theater in Pink Hill. The A. B. .Hugg Enterprises obtained a lease more than a year ago on property at the western edge of Kinston with the intention of putting in an outdoor theater but since then the company, which owns Kins ton’s three downtown theaters, has apparently given up the idea of trying movies under the stars.

His departure from Kinston will be greatly regretted by many. extension ^®r private Ascription Last The Jones County Extension Service has politely and firmly declined the spontaneous move of its citizens to supplement its salaries $100 per month for six months, until a new fiscal budg et may be set up by its commis sioners. The support was volun teered by members of a delega tion, and the county commis sioners themselves, when the board was forced to say no to the request officially. County Agent A. V. Thomas insisted in a prepared statement that no one was asked to appear in the delegation, although the district Extension Agent and the district Home Demonstration Agent also appeared. He cited Jones as a “poor county”, al though rich agriculturally, point ing out that he had not had a pay raise since coming to the county four years ago, ,, The farm agent, speaking for the assistant agent, the home agent and the secretary, said the interest of the citizens was ap preciated more than' the money involved. He sai$ , the- county staff did not want to be obligat ed to any particular farmer or organization, but to Jones Coun ty citizens as one grouji. The money subscribkl in jthe spontaneous move of the citizen! has been returned by County Farm Bureau President R. P. Bender, ttrli volunti local board of County Commis sioners was at their own initia tive. I did not ask one farmer to appear event though the County has not given me a cent raise since coming to the County four years ago. This is about the same shape of 95% of other workers in the County also. The operation of the Extension Service is a joint operation like some other departments in the County. Operation of some oth er departments have during these' years continued to draw their proportional County share as well as money from State but not the Extension Service. The County Extension person nel did not accept one cent of the public subscription raise aft er the meeting Monday. We ap preciate the interest shown much fnore than the -money involved. It makes us feel proud that the people as a whole are back of Extension. We realize Jones County is a poor County, but it is rich agriculturally. The peo ple are paying their taxes. Where 95% of livelihood depends on ag riculture for a-living, only 8c out of a $1.90 tax rate goes to promote a better agriculture pro gram. This is the question in volved. We will try to prove our ap preciation to the citizens of Jones County by trying still harder in .all way to make Jones place in which not want to be any particular farm ization, we want to to Jones County cit __ _ up.. :. . ... . —.. •r
