Minnesott Beach Rice Named Town Clerk The Town Board of Minnesott Beach met on August 10 at 7 p.m. Mayor Otto Peele, and board members Mrs. Gladys Harper and Laurence Tucker were present. Four applications for the job of Town Clerk were studied and discussed. A vote was taken, with an absentee ballot being opened from board member, Garvin Hardison. Bradford Rice of Minnesott Beach was appointed unanimously, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mrs. Ruth Johns. Mr. Rice is well acquainted with the work of the town government, having attended town meetings and representing the town on matters with the Neuse River Council of Governments. He has knowledge of grants-in-aid pro cess and will be able to travel on matters for the town with other agencies. The board felt that al though all were qualified as clerks, they needed someone with Mr. Rice’s talents more than a bona fide secretary. Mr. Rice will also serve as tax col lector and will keep the Town Hall open at specified times. Mr. Tucker suggested study ing the condition of the streets and making plans to have them patched in the fall. Mr. Peele announced that CETA funds for the summer employment of a town helper had run out. He requested per mission to pay this worker from town funds until school begins to help with garbage collection for four hours on Monday, Wednesday and Friday morn ings. This was approved. The board agreed to invite the Minnesott Beach policeman, Billy Roberts to its next meeting and to ask for copies of his time sheet. Bills for Mr. Roberts’ ex penses and services come through the Town Office but are paid by CETA. The board felt it should be more aware of the ex tent of services given. An information brochure glv ing the facts regarding the pur chase of the water system in Minnesott Beach from Indian Trace Company by the town was approved. The reasons given for this purchase are the placing of con trol of the system in the hands of the citizens instead of a private developer to insure adequate control of operation and future municipal growth; the income that would be received, and the eligibility to apply for grants which are not available to pri vate owners. If, in the future, Minnesott Beach should decide to install city wide sewage without own ing a water system, the town would have to pay 100% of the total cost as opposed to 15% if it owned its system. The recommendations of the FHA include the purchase of the present system, drilling a second deep well, installing central water softening equip ment, extending the water mains and distribution lines to provide water to those areas which are not served by the present system. The purchase cost for this system which has been ap praised at $283,120 will be $125,000. Implementing the recommendations of the FHA will bring the entire project cost to $275,000, financed by the FHA with a grant of $70,000 and a loan of $205,000 financed over a 40 year period with principal payments deferred for the first two years. The fact sheet, which will be sent to every home owner in Minnesott Beach, includes the monthly water rate schedule for residential and commercial users. It also states that tap-on fees will be suspended for those already having a meter but there will be a $20 fee for all additional meters. After the construction of the extension, tap-on fees will range from $300 to $600 depending on the meter size. Work Goes On by June Lane Mr. and Mrs. Earl Sadler have been working: on the Goose Creek Marina for five years. The facilities will be geared for the sportsman, with launch ing facilities, a marine store, fuel, Ice, and whatever else the sportsman's needs may be. Four hundred feet of dockage Is planned. Located at Fulford's Point on Goose Creek island, with an eight foot deep basin, this 2000 feet of water frontage is lovely. Many sail boats use the nearby waters as there Is usually a pleasant breeze. Mr. Sadler says they are pushing for an opening date In 1978. This four teen acre facility will certainly be an asset to Goose Creek Island. The vote on the purchase of the water system for Minnesott beach will be on August 23. I PUTTING THE NET AWAY UNTIL NEXT TIME — C. W. Phillips of Alliance was putting his net away until his next fishing trip when "The Pamlico County News" came along to snap this photo. Asked if he had any luck. Mr. Phillips said he caught about a half cooler full of croakers. Programs Aid Farms in Drought There is much interest among Tar Heel farmers in learning about various government programs to alleviate the effects of this summer's heat and drought, said Dr. Charles R. Pugh, ex tension economist at North Carolina State University. Two examples, he said, are the farm emergency loan program of the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) and disaster pay ments under the federal feed grain program. FmHA loans are restricted to counties declared as dis aster areas. Eligibility for disaster payments for below normal production of feed grains depends upon the situation on a given farm. The latter program is ad ministered by the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) through its county of fices. Pugh gave this information on the various programs: FmHA EMERGENCY LOANS—A total of 56 coun ties, located generally be tween Pitt and Polk counties, were initially designated on July 29 as disaster areas. Ap plications are being submit ted for other designations. Farmers within these cbunties may apply to FmHA for low-interest loans, if their expected 1977 income is at least 20 per cent below nor mal. The emergency loans are made at 5 per cent interest in amounts up to the shortage in income, repayable in up to seven years. Additional loans at 8 per cent interest are ob tainable if the farmer is still short on needed capital. The usual criterion of small family-operated farms for regular FmHA loans is waived under the emergency loan program. The extent of income loss, not farm size, determines eligibility.

Nancy Harper 745*5128 The farmer should apply by Sept. 30; provide a record of crops harvested and es timate of expected produc tion from later harvests in 1977 in comparison to normal production; and obtain a statement from the usual creditor that the needed credit will not be available from that source. FEED GRAIN DISASTER PAYMENTS-These are authorized under the feed grain provisions of the Agriculture and Consumer Protection Act of 1973. Direct payments are possible if production is less than two thirds of the established yield times planted acreage. Eligibility for this program depends on the individual farm situation, and is not restricted to farms in coun ties declared as federal dis aster areas. Farmers with drought stricken grain should ask ASCS to appraise grain production in advance to es tablish prospective pay ments. Then the crop can be salvaged by the farmer for any use—silage, baling or field gleaning. OTHER DISASTER PROGRAMS — Insurance payments to N. C. farmers from Federal Crop Insurance are expected to be high this year, especially from drought effects on insured tobacco.
