Oh, well, I really had a good time, and I guess that there’s always a little bad with the good. About 60 teens were on hand last Friday night when Nancy O’Bryan celebrated her sixteenth birthday at a dance given in her honor. The Pollocksville Com munity Building was beautifiilly decorated including a pool sur rounded by greenery and wis teria-draped trees. (After the party, the pool contained a few other things, too.) Refreshments of punch, sandwiches, potato chips, and cake were served. The party was truly a lovely one and we wish Nancy many more happy birthdays. The Pollocksville Sea Scouts took an eight day cruise begin ning on June 5 in which they traveled as far'as Wrightsville Beach. Stopping at various ports along the way, the boys visited many interesting places. Those scouts who participated in this unique cruise were .Jimmy Har M"Si ■ w' riett, David Cox, Alan Mallard, Dal Morton, Johnny Harriett, Buddy Kime, and Allen Har riett. With a holiday weekend com ing up, I know that highway traffic will be heavy, so I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe as well as a pleasant fourth of July week end. Wonder... What girl wfe know has devel oped a crush on a boy from Maysville? Who Betty Jo Hudson was talk ing to Mary Dixon about last Friday night? What certain boy has to. write two fetters every week? HEARD; Someone saying, “She’s going to wish for .Billy, and l’m going to wish for Sonia.” RETIRED SHERIFF HURT Retired Lenoir County Sheriff Sam Churchill suffered a bad ly sprained back Saturday night when his car struck a dog about 10 miles west of Kinston and went into a ditch. ; The decision to be made on July 3 by t citizens of Jones County is whether we What have we suffered in damages from poor drainage and flooding in the last six years? In the last six years we have had three comparatively dry years and three wet years. Statistics for those years on the average pound of tobacco grown per ^ acre are as follows: TOWNSHIP AVERAGE POUNDAGE PER ACRE 1959-61-62 AVERAGE POUNDAGE DIFFERENCE PER ACRE IN POUNDS 1960-63-64 PER ACRE White Oak Pollopksville Trenton Cypress Creek Tuckahoe Chinquapin Beaver Creek 1331 1525 1434 1458 1618 1411 I 1498 1904 2059 2175 2258 2283 2226 2207 573 534 741 800 665 815 709 The above figures would indicate, based on approxi mately .5200 acres of, tobacco grown in Jones County, and,ba?£d on $.60 per pound* .lyhich has beet about the market average* for the years involved, it wOUlcj^ttaw that we have in the three wet years sold oyr tobacco for approximately $6,000,000.00 less than we did in the three dry years. This does not take into consideration damages to beans, corn and other crops, nor does it take into consideration damages to property other than crops. The question is should we try /to correct this problem or let it continue to become worse. At the present time our River, streams and branches are clogged with trees, branches, and other <|ebris, and without some effort on our part, will Continue to become worse. K ' What Does A Vote For A Watershed Program Mean to Jones County 1. Your commissioners can then ask the Soil Con servation Service to make a survey of the en tire county (which means all branches and creeks) to determine what is necessary — the benefits and the costs. The survey will be at no cost to the county. 2. The survey will be made by competent engi neers and will provide us with detailed maps, flevatiofts, estimated costs, and other informa tion necessary to work out a long range pro gram for Drainage and Flood Control. If the survey shows that benefits from the pro? gram will excefd the costs, then the County Commissioner* frill have the authority to say YIL$ or NO to It he proposals. The people in Ofch area.frilli Mve the opportunity to see the phms and disc u^ with^the commissioners the proposed plan in'their'area. Changes can and will be made to meet local conditions. 4. If a project is accepted by the local people, then ^ the local cost-share will be raised by a tax not to exceed 25c per <$100 valuation. (Federal funds will pay at least 75% of the cost.) i 5. The people of Jones County will have a choice to improve their most valuable resources — soil and water, • 'i / - i 1. What Wati It mea flooded no one 2. It mear ified at 1961, a 3.
