ed officials in charge of the Kin
ston airport that electric ser
vice from the city would be cut
off on the 20th of September un
less the past due bill of some
thing over $1300 is paid.
Airport Commission Chairman
Carlton Pollock says his com
mission has tried and still wants
to pay, this bill and does not
want the aviation cadet school
officials to be bothered or em
barrassed by this past-due bill
which resulted from the failure
of the county to pay the airport

, Pollock appeared before the

farmers to go to the polls on
November 3rd and vote In favor
of tHe “NlctSes for Know-How”
program.
Turning to the second phase
of the meeting the Jones Coun
ty Farm Bureau “kick off"
drive for membership, Shaw re
lated to the .group how the Farm
Bureau had grown from a few
hundred member? a few years
ago to a niefmt>terahlp of 74,000
in 1950. He jpblnted out how the
Farm Bureau had fought to ob
. tain a fair share of the nations
wealth for farmers.
ShdWteftjded that never before
have farmers needed a strong
Farm Bureau as now,with every
thing the farthers have to buy
going up and everything the
farmers have to sell going down.

' The commissioners talked ov-'
er Pollock’s request for a few
minutes and although several
members of the board have ex
pressed a willingness to pay the
money to the airport, including
Chairman Ike Whitfield and
Commissioner Cameron Lang
ston, no formal action was taken
on the matter and the airport is
still in debt to the city for the
$1380-plus electricity bill.
In the 1950-51 budget the city
and the county agreed to pay
equal amounts to the airport
commission for maintenance of
the field. The city .paid its part
but after January the county re
fused to continue its monthly
payments and that’s when the
bills started getting behind.

this week that Dorothy Nobles,
daughter of Mrs. Fred Nobles,
would become his new office as
sistant on Monday replacing
Mrs. Charles Cronebaugh, the
former Alice Moore, who is mov

Chairman Whitfield says that
his board should agree to pay
the money at once. Other inter
ested officials point out that at
one time' it was agreed by prac
tically everyone that the money
spent on the airport was money
wasted but now, largely due to
the fact that the airport has
been kept in reasonably good
condition with these County and
city funds, a large school with
atone than a three and a half
million dollar payroll is coming
to town. This payroll will quick
