to purchase livestock and, ' nt and meet other ‘ farm, j operating costs helped 100 Jones . Comity families increase their in- N come in 1963, J. E, Mewborn . Jfy county supervisor of the Farmers Home Administration reported this week. ' Mewborn said the agency made operating loans totaling $464390 to fanners in the county during 1963. The amount of operating loans made.to Jones County Farmers in 1963 increased twenty percent Ov er’that for 1964 Mewborn reported. Loans are made only to farmers who are unable to obtain credit from conventional fenders. They may be used to buy machinery and equipment livestock, feed, seed and fertiliser, to pay other farm and home costs, and to refinance debts. Interest rate is S per cent to be repaid over a period bf 1 to 7 years. ,However in 1963 Jones County farmers were eligible for emergen cy loans which carry a interest rate of 3 per cent. Mewborn reported the FHA op erating loan program in 1963 was of particular benefit to three groups of fanners in Jones Coun ty: . | (1) Fanners who need credit to make .major changes in their farm operations to do a successful job of fanning. opportunity of taking over the % m farming operations of older fann ers wanting to retire, and (3) Farmers working full or part time at another job who need op erating credit to realise the mhx imum return from their limited farming operations. He cited the 1963 record of the Harold Lee Smith family of Maple Grove Community to illustrate how an outstanding FHA borrower has used operating credit to up-grade his farming operation. FHA makes operating loans to eligible farm families who cannot obtain credit from other lenders. Borrowers also are assisted in planning and reorganising their farming operations to -produce the highest return. Applications for an FHA operat ing loan may be made at the FHA office in the Agriculture Building; The office is open from 8 g. m. to 5 p. m. Monday through Friday.

Mrs. meeting held Mracb 26 at in the Chinquapin Church. Earlier Consolidation Possibility Considered By Lenoir School Board Monday the Lenoir County School Board held another session on the thorny issue of high school consolidation and discussed at length many facets of this ancient poser. Foremost was a letter from the state board of education which took a dim view of a single con solidated high school. The state board holds the view that high schools should not have more than 1500 students, and that a single high school for Lenoir County near to this'maximum student load. The issue of whether to recom mend one or two schools had been threshed out at great length by the county board, with the final decision coming last month in fa vor of a single school, but when confronted with the attitude of the state school board which favors two schools, the county board had to go back to the "drawing boards.” Added to this disagreement between the county and state school boards is growing sentiment for immediate consolidation that could be done in time for the 1964 65 school year, and without any huge outlays of money. Proponents of this “administra tive consolidation” headed by would Open its doors dangerously Infantil loir-Greeneff* ir Sunday on Paralysis Attend ‘Wet Run’ Those attending the Polio “wet run” clinic on Sunday afternoon from Jones County were Mrs. Wil mer Mallard, Mr. Milton Hines, Mrs. Lawrence Pollock, Mrs. Carl ton I pock.

Mrs. Charlotte Fordham of 403 East Washington had only $3.14 mixed up with lottery tickets in a paper bag when police raided her home. On Tuesday Mrs. Freeman pled guilty to possession of the gambl ing devices and was given a 3 month jail term, suspended on payment of a $25 fine and the fur ther condition that she not violate any lottery laws for a 3-year period. TRUCK TANGLE ' Trucks driYen“hy Sstm Tumer of Kins tod route 5 and Johnny Davis of Kinston route 2 collided in Spruce Alley last Thursday morn ing with damage estimated at $350. faculty. On the other hand these pro ponents, including some school board members, point out that one of the four schools in the southern part fo the county and one of the three schools in the northern part of the county could be converted to a consolidated high school for their areas with no major capital outlay investments necessary. Then the move toward ultimate consolidation would also include combinjng the city and county uuuusjr uig o* mice tunics is to be held in Jones, Green and Lenoir counties in an all-out effort to wipe out infantile paralysis. Volunteer workers will man 17 clinics from Noon until 5 p. m. Sunday in t h e administering Of Sabine Oral Vaccine to all comers, regardless of age. Lenoir Clinics In Lenoir County the clinics will be in the following schools: Bynum, Sampson, Lewis, Northwest, Teach ers Memorial, Frink, Savannah, La Grange, Contentnea, Southwood, Wheat Swamp, Woodington, and Pink Hill. Jones Clinics The Jones County clinics will be held in Jones Central High School and Jones County High School. Greene Clinics The Greene County clinics will be held in Greene Central High School and Greene County Train ing School. The medical societies in the three counties are urging every one, regardless of age to take this series of three injections which are needed to protect one from all types of polio. The serum is taken orally on a lump of sugar, and it is hoped that every citizen in the three counties will take advantage of this oppor tunity to remove the fear of polio from their family. It is stressed that even though one has had the Salk vaccine it is still wise to take the Sabine since it prevents a person from being a carrier as well as protects him from infection by the polio virus. There is no charge for the serum but persons are asked to make whatever contributions they feel proper to help difray the estimated $17,000 cost of this three-county effort. It is necessary to begin the cycle of innoculations on Sunday, and to continue on Sunday April 19th and May 17th to get complete protec tion. FEMALE POLITICIAN G.
