TREASURY RE EADY
FOR BOND S A L E
WIT H OU 7 HELP

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-W.D
The Treasury is set to kick off
its new savings bond campaign
without additional money from
congress, it was leaned today.
Secretary of Treasury John W.
Snyder intends to get funds for
the drive by switching to the
savings bond division some OF
the money already appropriated
to the treasury for administer
ing the public debt.
There is nothing irregular
about the transfer treasury Of
ficials said. The divisions pres
ent $2,9O00,000 budget m e
from the same source.
Nevertheless, Snyder is play
ing safe. He will seek congress
sional approval before he makes
the transfer for mis- bond sellers.
Snyder also wants to get a
clear indication of how much
congress will give him to push
the campaign after June 80, into
the next fiscal year. Bond sell
ing, he maintains, requires
continuing campaign and he
cannot hire extra help unless he
can promise some job security.
The big push, officials say,
won't get started until January
or February at the earliest, al
though new steam is being put
on already.
A survey conducted by the
Western N e wspaper union,
which sells feature material to
several thousand weekly papers,
indicated that the bond scheme
was the most popular anti-infla-
ton measure among the editors
polled.
Snyder S pinning a great deal
of hope on expanding the pay
roll deduction system, under
which employers withhold a GER
tain amount each week from the
pay check of each employee who
subscribes. He has called 2O
business and industry leaders to
a meeting in his office tomor-
row to get an early start On
national payroll deduction plan.
Rond sales to individuals the
famous "E" bonds will total
about 100000 this year,
compared to the high of SIS, $780,
100000 in 1943 and 1914.
Officials report that OF
the $40, ,447, 600, 900 worth of "E'
bonds sold since 1941, some S33,-
GIG, 100000 are still safely tucked
away, and only $1S, ,42S, 900, 600 or
81 per cent have been cashed IN.

Taken From Life

street you glance are rows of
beautiful moss-i laden trees. The
front campus Of the school was
layers deep in fall leaves nicely
colored in autumn hues.
We talked first with G. N.
Mobiles, the mayor and the vice
president of the Rotary Club.
Thenton claims a population of
five hundred. During the recent
past new stores have been con-
structed by E. S. Smith, Pom
pey Erwin and G. N. Mobiles.
The new businesses are the No
bles Supply Company, pool
room, the E. S. Smith Grocery
and Feed Store. The Quality
Food store, operated oy A. B.
Parker, and the Trenton Oil
Company operated by F. R. Pol
lock.
The Trenton Rotary Club, J.
R. Burt, president, has eighteen
members. 1t has sponsored sue
cessfully the installation of 81,
200 of flourescent lights for the
school class rooms. 1t assisted
the American Legion, j. D. Lar
kins, Jr., commander, in hold
ing a Jones County Fair. The
fair was held on the school
grounds and the gymnasium
was used as the exhibit building
ing. 1t was a highly successful
fair attr acting a large number
of interesting and Informative
exhibits. 1t paid expenses and
netted a profit, which probably
guarantees it will be an annual
event. The Rotarians are spon-
soring White Christmas for
the needy. 1t is discussing
Farmers night and a Sweet Po-
tato dehydration plant.
Trenton is served by paved
highway to the jacksonville
New Bern highway and by con-
Meeting links 10 the Klnston-U.S S.
II highway, and by the Kenans-
ville-I'renton highway. On the
latter two paving is now under
construction.
The principal of the Trenton
school is R. F. Autry. A Junior
Boys Choir is his hobby and he
has fine one composed of
twenty-five boys ranging from
nine to twelve years of age, that
has appeared in many places
other than Trenton. 1t is vested
His main ambition is member
ship in the Southern Association
OF Accredited Schools. The main
thing, practically the sole thing,
keeping the school out is the
salaries of teachers, these being
below the required minimum.
The school library more than
meets the requirements.
The school has total enroll
ment of sos. In the graduating
class are two boys and thirteen
girls. Last year the graduating
class had seven boys and five
girls. Mr.. Autry himself is
coaching the athletic teams. The
School has boys and gir's oas-
ketball, baseball, touch football,
softball. He has schedules of
eoghteen games this season for
each of his basketball teams.
j.. H. Pollock instructs the
vocational agriculture class and
the veterans training class. Mrs.
Alma Phillips teaches home eco
nomics. Mrs. Ruth Daniel tea
ches music. The faculty num-
bers seventeen. The school
needs additional men, who can
assist in athletics and the other
extra-curricular activities.
We were delighted to note in
Trenton that the business men
are keenly interested in and are
discussing and making plans a
bout making up the loss in l948
from the reduction in the to-
bacco acreage.
