Lifting Of Fox
Ear Bounty May
Save SI,OOO Year
Curtailment of the bounty on fox
ears by the Eutts County Commis
sioners will save the county approxi
mately SI,OOO a year, former County
Treasurer W. M. Redman estimated
this week.
Lifting of the bounty, described
as an economy move, was one of the
first official acts of the County Com
missioners in the New Year.
The bounty on fox ears was set
up several years ago when foxes
were prevalent throughout the coun
ty and the threat of a rabid fox was
real to both human and animal life.
For the past few years, a bounty
of $2.50 for a pair of fox ears has
been paid by the Commissioners.
Benefit Show
To Aid Local
Polio Drive
The local March of Dimes fund
drive will receive a boost on Wednes
day, January 30, when a benefit
show will be given at The Town
Theater.
Charles Fain, 1957 fund drive
chairman, announced that arrange
ments have been made with theater
owner Windell McCoy, Jr., and that
the picture “Hilda Crane’’, starring
Jean Simmons and Guy Madison will
be shown. The picture is in cinemas
cope and technicolor.
Admission to the benefit show will
bd 20 and 40c, Fain said, and tickets
are already being sold for the per
formance.
In addition to the benefit film,
blue crutches are being sold and coin
collectors have been placed through
out the county in retail stores. Fain
described the drive as progressing
satisfactorily.
Although the incident of paralytic
polio fell considerably last year -\yhen
the Salk polio vaccine was widely
administered, there i’s still a great
need for funds to carry out treat
ment and rehabilitation programs for
polio patients.

JM.uo PER YEAR IN ADVANCE
Jan. 29 Vote To
Decide Meters,
Center’s Future
; > •• •j i I *. -
Residents of the City of Jackson
will get another opportunity January
29 to express their opinion on the
question of parking meters, and in
directly, the operation of the Youth
Center program in Jackson.
The two were tied together when
a committee of parents appeared be
fore the City Council Monday night
with the request that the Council set
another referendum on parking me
ters. Under their proposal, if parking
meters were favored by a majority
of the citizens and installed, the
Youth Center would receive suffi
cient revenue from the meters to op
erate a full-time program.
Members of the citizens committee
appearing before the Council, and
who were appointed at a recent mass
meeting of parents interested in the
Youth Center’s operation, were Vin
cent Jones, Mrs. Lou Moelchert, Mrs.
Roy Prosser, James Wallace, James
Wise and Guy Bearden.
Mayor W. M. Redman reported
that the Cohncil was unanimous in
their approval of the plan.
In a referendum on parking me
ters last year, the result was a 58-58
tie vote.
All residents of the City who are
qualified to vote are entitled to ex
press their opinions in the Tuesday,
January 29, referendum. The refer
endum is not binding on the Council
members, as it is but a sampling of
I the people’s preference in regards to
parking meters.
