IA safekeeper bttU pen of the for tolls kept for dairy or beef Letter* To The tuaitor 2214 Ivy Road Kinston, N. C. 1 July 19515 Mr. Jack Rider The Lenoir County-News Kinston, N. C. Dear Mr. Rider: In the News this morning I note your news item in re the pro test meeting aimed at stopping the Air Base .Expansion Pro gram. I cannot help but take the time to Jot down a few re marks about this. U> My husband is an employee of SenMAir, and we have lived here now for two years. As best I can learn from the local citizens, Kinston and Lenoir County have i to be thankful for the lo the farmers have a "gripe”. Es sentially ay husband and I are fanners, as We own a farm In Tennessee, and consequently we can understand the farmer's viewpoint. But how many far mers in Lenoir County, and how many farms, hatobeen hurt by Serv-Air? is the good of the few farmers more than the good of the greater percentage of other citizens? Lenoir County is not primarily a cattle raising coun ty, and the greatest hdrm to farmers would come from that to livestock. Serv-Air has brought to this county more than just noise and nuisance value. This concern has brought into the community an influx off popula tion from which the merchants, real estate holders, churches, civic organizations, and schools have benetfitted immeasurably. The expansion of Serv-Air Is not only an assistance to that Cor poration for its own increase of gross income, but an assistance to Lenoir County and the city of Kinston as a whole to Increase Its gross income, likewise. Let me take this .opportunity to suggest that the citizens of Le noir County and Kinston stop and evaluate their attitude to ward Serv-Air. Consider its manifold contributions to the economic, social and, yes, spiri tual welfare of the community. Mixed, with the good is certainly the bad, but no thinking person will Insist that all the citizens of native origin offer only good! The problems of growth for 8erv-!Alr, Kinston and Lenoir County contain many “growing the owner. If a bull on b or 1® a pasture must possible. If you must approach a bull in a pasture on foot) be sure there Is a vehicle, nearby to af ford a barrier in case the hull should change. Bulls aren’t the only danger ous animals. Boars also poxne in this category. Tasks should be removed from boars Even an ordinarily gentle animal may strike without warning. Deaths have occurred from such acci dents. A hand hurdle will keep off a boar if he should attend to strike. Sows may be a source of dan ger, particularly before and after farrowing. A'hand hurdle should be carried when entering the pen at all such times. Leave the pen door unlatched to permit a quick escape.
