EDITOR GIVES REPORT ON MEETING HELD DY THE N. 0. PRESS INSTITDTE Last week end the editor and his wife attended the N, C. Press Institute at Chapel Hill and Duke. Here Is a hlghUghted re port: Everybody was deeply consci ous of the war and the peace. Most editors with whom we talk ed thought the war was going well In Europe and agahist Japan. It was thought that Ger many would be beaten this year, possibly by summer if the Rus sian drive was maintained and the allies were able to mount an offensive in the west. Many thought there would be no for mal surrender of Germany, that Hitler and che Nazis would fight to the last ditch not because they hoped to wta but because ■they would have that much "onger to live. It was also thought that guerrilla warfare would continue long after major hos tilities ceased. As to .Tapan, most editors thought It would take a long time to beat her land armies; that she had some 4,000,000 sea soned fighters and that we had not yet even begun to whip Japan's forces on the ground. The end of 1946 was guessed by most editors as being the near est time that Japan could be licked. Some thought Russia would declare war on Japan. The situation in China was described as one of turmoil and Inner strife ior power between the Generalissimo and the Com munists. The Chinese soldier is poorly equipped, poorly clothed and poorly fed. Given proper equipment and food, the Chi nese is, hov/ever, a good fighting man. China Is expected to emerge a great power but it will .take a long time, perhaps a hundred years, h\ the opinion of one cor respondent who was stationed in that country for a long time, Press censorship in Chhia is almost total. Incidentally, one of the bottle necks of freedom In this cock eyed world Is the lack of free and cheap communications. In many countries they are govern ment monopolies, run for the benefit of those in power. The assistant general manager pf the AP made a talk about that. He wants communications open to the public and at cheaper rates— so that the peoples of the world may keep informed to help pre serve peace, NON-DAILY MEETINGS The non-daily papers of the press association made a great step forward to improve them selves. They formed a group which will have minimum stand ards, to Include application for ABC membership by Jan. 1, 1946, ABC means Audit Bureau of Circulation. The ABC Is a na tional organization. They send an auditor to each paper who checks circulation records and those that they let the paper count must be paid In advance. The non-dallles have been worktag on this progressive move for several years, Among those who have done a lot of hard work on It are John Harris of Albemarle, AI Resch of Siler City, Roy Parker of Chapel Hill, Harvey Laffoon of Elkin, Ed Anderson of Brevard and Miss Beatrice Cobb of Morganton. Mrs, Mark Etheridge, wife of the publisher of the Louisville, Ky, Courier-Journal and author of four books, made a ' speech about what she thought news papers ought to do to Improve their product. In a word. It was to carry all of the human In terest stories possible—the little. everyday happenings, about folks in the community. Her talk rang the bell and nearly all of the publishers were ready to rush out and hire another reporter as though they could find one. Since Mrs. Etheridge said gos sipy things about people made good news. It might be well to say that she wore a well-tailored black dress, a rope of pearls around her neck and an orchid cOTsage. Mother of four, she certainly looked much younger and utterly belled that Gertrude Steln-lsh picture of her that appeared in the dally prints prior to her appearance. Husband Mark ought to do something about that for family pride’s sake, even though he can’t find his clean underwear after 23 years of lodgment in the same dresser drawer. (Well, that’s what his wife said.) Josephus Daniels Introduced Mrs. Etheridge and where do you reckon he found the language he wanted In his presentation? The Congressional Record, no less. It was a tribute some Sen ator had paid to a Georgia wo man, Mrs. Etheridge behig a na tive of that state. The Duke dinner on Friday night was a usual highlight, though saddened by the absence of Henry Dwire who passed away since the last meethig. D. Hlden Ramsey of Asheville paid tribute of the press to Mr. Dwire and the audience stood for a moment to pay Its respects. The dinner menu was prepared by an Ashe county girl. It featured broiled Jumbo squab with stuffed dress ing. The dressing with corn- bread base hit the spot, The woman wore Informal dress and the men wore last year’s suit. Miss Cobb, secretary, ran the convention with her usual fhiesse and promptness. Dr. Julian Mill er, editor of the Charlotte b- server and president, presided with his customary poise. He set the tone of the meeting throughout by references to the holocaust of war. John Harris and Harvey Laffoon presided at the weekly meetings, both doing bang-up Jobs. Harvey complahi- ed, however, that he was having considerable “female trouble.” His society editor recently mar ried and left the paper and he has been trying to replace her. He found a young lady who has not yet decided whether to go to the Elkin Tribune or the At lanta Constitution. As to the press awards the Le.xlngton Dispatch carried off top honors with two prizes and we extend our best bow to .Editor Witherspoon and general man ager, Dave Sink. Through some error on the pa' of the Judges, the Mocksvlll terprlse won minor award in the editoi^ contest. I PAGE 2 THE MOCKSVILLE (N. C.)

Makes 878 Pounds Of Lint Per Acre It was no accident that D. D. Wilkinson won the Scotland county five-acre cotton contest with 1,210 pounds of lint per acre, says Enos Blair, exten sion agronomist at State college. Wilkinson began building up the soli ot his farm in 1937 with a four-yoar rotation, the turn ing under ot cover crops, and the use ot better fertilizers. His ro tation was two years of cotton and corn or truck crops follow ed by two years of small grains and soybeans, with the beans combined and the leave and stalks turned under. In 1938 Wilkinson averaged 232 pounds ot lint per acre as compared with 878 pounds per acre last year on a crop of 77 acres. Yields of other crops have just about doubled. For cotton Wilkinson has fer tilized with 500 pounds ot 4-9-5 per acre or some similar grade but he now topdresses with 150 pounds of nitrate of soda and 50 pounds of muriate of potash per acre where he formerly used only 100 pounds of soda. He gives his grain 300 pounds of 3-12-6 at planting and a top- dresser of 100 pounds of nitrate of soda and 50 pounds of muriate of potash per acre. A unique feature of the Wil kinson farm of 225 cultivated acres Is that most of the work Is done by two large tractors, according to BiaLr. This Includes preparation, planting cultiva tion and combining. There are only two mules on the farm and they have little to do. Wilkinson also firmly believes in the live at home program for everyone on the farm. The com munity garden furnishes ail ot the families with plenty of fresh vegetables for the table and a good surplus to be canned. Plenty of méat, potatoes and other crops are also produced.

McCLELLAN Jack Booe on Dutchman’s Creek, west of Yadklnyllle road, recently approved a farm plan with the Middle Yadkin District. Mr. Booe has already done some terracing and expects ‘to do other conservation work as time goes on. R. W. Rummage, near Union Chapel, has a farm plan: He expects to sow some alfalfa, Im prove his pastures, make some meadom strips, sow some serlcea and do, some terracing. John Ijames, colored farmer near Center, recently approved a soli conservation plan. He says he realizes his soli has been slip ping away and he wants to do all he can to hold and improve what he has left. S. ^A. Koontz, near County Line, approved a farm- plan re cently. His intentions are to do drainage work on some South Yadkin river bottom land. A conservation plan with the district would be a progressive move on most farmers part. It is something to anaiy.ie the prob lems of erosion and a solution to correct them. A lot ot farmers have the wrong understanding of the district work. They can get the right information from the County Agent or J. G. Crawford, District Supervisor of Davie County. Help some child walk; give to the March of Dimes.

How Industry is Bringing Daytime Morale to thè Night Shift WARTIME industry knows no day or night. Production must go on. But eyes know the difference. And nerves know the difference. And pro* duction schedules reflect the difference. So today, America is turning to lighting as a potent weapon. Because it is a proved fact that better lighting enables a worker to See faster, work faster—with fewer mistakes—yet end up the shift with less fatigue! That’s why the newest plants are models of mod ern lighting. Many are using the new fluorescent lighting, because it gives such abundance of light with such sparing use of electricity. Among the thousands of examples of this stcp-up in efficiency and morale, here is one that speaks volumes: A manufacturer of paper board says tliat the loss of time due to headaches and fatigue has always been a serious man-hour problem. Today, after installing better light* lug, the plant dispensary reports a 30% decrease in calls for bead* ache tablets! Remember — no matter whether your business is directly concerned with war, every business today needs to conserve man-powcr . . . to help keep America’s morale at top efficiency. So why not look into your lighting noU). We will gladly send a Lighting Service Specialist to ad vise you. Arid don’t forget that good light in your home tonight can reduce eyestrain—and help keep your fcmily alert and fit for the job tomorrow. No Appliance b Better Than .

The supply probably will not meet greatly expanded demands. Data for the comprehensive report were supplied by the War Pood Administration, War Pro duction Board. Bureau of Agri cultural Economics and the Foreign Economic Administra tion. Highlights of the report fol low; ^ 1. Approximately 90 per cent of the new farm machines (ex cept tractors) rolling off assem bly lines In the United States during 1045 production year (July 1, 1944, to June 30, 1045) will be available to American farmers. Approximately 10 per cent will go abroad—approximately 7 per cent In commercial exports, and 3 per cent through Lend-Lease, according to the Foreign Eco nomic Administration. 2. For the 1945 production year, farm machinery companies have scheduled slightly more production In dollar value—a to tal of $697,000,000—of new ma chines, repair parts and attach ments for domestic and foreign use than they had In 1944, WPB reported. The 1945 production program Is divided as follows; $455,- 000,000 for new machines; $204,- 000,000 for repair parts and $38,- 000,000 for attachments. This . compares with scheduled manu facture In the previous produc tion year (1944) when the to tal was $682.00,000. The 1944 total Included; $465,000,000 for now machines; $185,000,000 for repair parts and $52,000,000 for attachments 3. As "long as the war continues, farmers will not bo able to buy as much new farm machinery as they will need in order to maintain theli- facil ities at greatest efficiency, the War Food Administration re ported. WFA said that in 1945 supplies of new farm machinery, even If manufacturing schedules are met, will not meet essential de mands. No more new tractors, side delivery raltes, combines or other haying and harvesting machinery will be available dur ing the 1945 crop year than were available during the 1044 crop year. Because emphasis is on mili tary production, no action has been talten on the supplementary farm machinery production pro gram as submitted by WFA to meet farm machinery needs that had developed among American farmers after the present pro duction schedules were set, WFA reported. Current problem.s of farm ma chinery manufacture are Indi cated by the fact that for the first quarter of the 1045 pro duction year (July, August and September, 1944) production of new farm machinery, exclusive of wheel tractors, repair parts, and attachments, was approxi mately 25 per cent behind schedule, according to the War Production Board. This lag In production was caused by manpower shortages and the difficulty In obtaining components, chiefly malleable and gray iron castings. In the Middle West, where the bulk of the American farm machines are made, the labor supply is very inadequate and is likely to remain so while urgent war production continues, WPB said. 4, Production of new farm Leath’em 0cks' 'La&''n* Lizae-d Lizard training Is a popular pastime at an advance Marine Aircraft Group base hi the Pa cific.

Dur ing the 1043-44 census year (No vember 1, 1043, to October 31, 1044), however, American man ufacturers of farm machinery nearly doubled the dollar value ot total production as compared with the 1042-43 census year. American farmers are making greater use of individual farm machines during the war. The exchange and cooperative use of some machines, such as trac tors and combines, has Increased markedly. The custom use (operation for hire) of other farm machinery, especially combines, corn pick ers and windrow pick-up balers, also has Increased. Many farm ers who bought new equipment while machinery was rationed during 1943 and the first nine months of 1044, agreed to share use of the machines with others as a condition of obtaining pur chase certificates. More intensive use of existing farm machinery is one factor that has helped to Increase war time food production in the United States. The food output reached an all-time high in 1944. More than one-third more food was produced during 1044 than in the pre-war period of 1935- 39, although farmers were han dicapped by shortages of farm machinery and labor, the War Food Administration reported. The mechanization of Amer ican farms has increased since 1941 despite the curtailed pro duction of farm machines. The number of certain key ma chines on farms has Increased. Among them, however, are ma chines that have passed their normal period of usefulness and would have been disposed of by farmers except for wartime con ditions. Approximately 7 per cent of the tractors and a com parable number of other ma chines on American farms on January 1, 1945, would have been replaced had new machinés been available, the Bureau of Agricultural Economics reported. In 1941, farmers replaced ap proximately 100,000 tractors, During the war the rate of re placement has been as low as 60,000 a year, the bureau said. There were approximately 12 per cent more tractors on farms on January 1, 1945, than there were on the same date In 1942, Percentage increases in the number of tractor cultivators and tractor row crop planters were greater than for farm trac tors. But the production of most machines for preparing and seeding of land Increased less rapidly than the output of trac tors, the Bureau of Agricultural Economics estimated. Production of manure spread ers, either horse or tractor- drawn, has not been sufficient to cover replacements. The number on farms In 1945 will be slightly less than In 1942, the bureau said. Farmers must continue to rely chiefly on their existing farm machinery In 1945 even though rationing and distribution con trols over new units have been removed, WFA emphasized. The shortage of raw materials that early in the war limited the amount of farm machinery that could be made has been follow ed by the p/esent Inadequate ness of manpowei and compo nents. Military production has priority call on both, the War Production Board said. To keep existing farm ma chines In operation, manufac ture of repair parts and attach ments has been considerably In creased. The scheduled pro duction of repair parts and at tachments in 1944 amounted to approximately 28.3 per cent of total farm machinery manufac ture, as compared to 14 per ccnt in 1940, WPB said. Production of new farm ma chinery units has been planned on the basis of farmers’ require ments. Production of certain harvesting and tilling machines has been increased to as high as 150 per cent over 1940 and 1041 levels. To aid farmers in mak ing crop shifts necessitated by war, more harvesting machines of certain types, such as peanut pickers, have been made. Man ufacturers plan production of 360 items of farm machinery for domestic distribution on a per centage basis of the shipping weight of the machines they made during 1040 or 1041, which ever year was higher. During 1940 and 1941 more farm ma chinery was made In the United States than ever before. Farm transportation is likely to be one of the farmer’s seri ous problems In 1945, the War Food Administration said.,Both motor- truck and automobile re placements have been extreme ly small since 1041.

Work Or Fight It does not seem unreasonable that if tlie govern ment can select the nation's finest and best men, and send them into battle under all the dangers and hardships of war, where hundreds of thousands are making the supreme sacrifice, tlie rest of the nation's citizens should not con- isider it infringments upon their rights for the governme nt to demand their services in some capacity. The entire citizenship of the country has as much re sponsibility to carry on this war as the soldiers at the front. It is a curiouB notion than many Amercans have that the civilians have a right to -be relieved from duties and responsibilities, and engage in wrangling over per sonal matters, demanding more money and more comforts No one should be comfortable in time of war; everyone should share in some manner the hardships and sacrifices of the soldiers. We shall never arrive at a state of peace imtil all of the country’s people shall be made to share the costs and the hardships of war. A lot of folks believe that paying tribute to the dead, and lauding the fighting men are sufficient contribution. But war cannot l>e won The time has come when we should stop sports and night by a few while the rest sit in the grandstands and cheer, clubs, and other non-essential work and draw in the nation’s man power and its resources until victory is won, All should be made to share equally the great burden of war. SOME FUN. Myron; "What does your Uncle do for a living?” Byron; "He’s a tank tester." Myron; “They run tanks over him, and if the treads don’t break, they’re okay.” The American Soldier The American soldiers In every area, service, or battle has demonstrated to the world that he Is a first class fighting man. There have been no strikes, no stoppage, no Indifference on the part of our fighting men. Every where they ha-ve distinguished themselves, won the plaudits of mankind. Their training and discipline, as well as their experience with the enemy, have given them an under standing of what is involved in this war. They are fighting for the freedom of mankind, and particularlly that America may be indeed the “land of the free and the home of the brave.” Those of us back home, at least many people, do not seem to realize that a debt we owe to them — and that that debi can only be paid by our sharing in their hardships and sufferings. " I'LL TAKE ONE LIK r THAT FaUER H A S ....WITH Director Jimmy Byrnes Jimmy Byrnes, War Mobilization Director, being one of our favorite men in public office, we would like to pass along a recent appraisal by the Charlotte Observer— with all of which we most heartily agrfee^ Says the Ob server: “Immediately after the Democratic convention, com mentators who are supposed to know about such things declared that James P. Byrnes was keenly disappointed by his failure to get the nomination for vice president. This opinion was given support by the action of Mr. Byrnes himself a few weeks aftèr the convention in offering his resignation as director of war mobilization. The president, however, persuaded Mr. Byrnes to with draw that resignation. What the President said to Mr. Byrnes on that occasion is, of course, a secret between the two men, but it now appears that Mr. Brynes’ failure to get the nomination may have been the best break of his life, 1 If he had been nominated and elected, he would prob ably have gone the way of other vice presidents into political obhvlon. After the military reverses In Belgium, however, with a series of swift and drastic orders between Christmas and New Year, Byrnes suddenly became known throughout the country as the man who knew what to do in a natioal emergency and did it declsivly. And today, when already people are beginning to think twice to remember who was elected vice president, the name of James F. Byrnes appears on nearly every page of youv newspaper. Diminutive Jimmy Byrnes becomes one of the tallest men in the administration. GEORGE WEST PASSES AWAY Oeorge L.

I can’t go that far.” Mr. Churchill was somewhat surprised, and asked the cabbie why his route was so limited. "It hain’t ordinarily, sir,” the driver said, “but ye see, sir, Mr. Churchill Is broadcasting in an hour, and I wants to get ‘some to 'ear 'Im.” Mr. Churchill was so well pleased that he pulled out a pound note and handed it to the driver, who took one quick look at it and said, “Hop in, sir. T’heck with Mr. Churchill. I am 25 cents. I am not on speaking terms with the butcher. I am too small to buy a quart of Ice cream. I am not large enough to purchase a box of candy. I am too small to buy a ticket to a movie. I am hardly fit for a tip, but, believe me, when I go to church on Sunday I am con sidered some money.

Early Repair Of Machinery Needed The vast p.-oductlon of, foods and fibers called for this year will require the efficient use of all available machinery In plant ing, cultivating and harvesting the needed crops, says David S. Weaver, in charge of Agricul tural Engineering at State Col lege. Since the quantity of new ma chinery will not bo sufficient to meet the demand and take care of the replacement of worn equipment, Weaver suggests that all usable machinery be prop erly repaired as early as pos sible and put in the best con dition for the Jobs ahead. "Present machinery needs In spection, checking, ordering of parts early, repairing, servicing, and general maintenance,” Weaver says. This includes both old and new machinery. Weaver also urges a safety program, that will include pro tection of the machinery from damage, protection of the crops themselves in the operation of the machinery, and protection oi the operator of the machine from injury. With present labor shortages on almost every farm, the shar ing of labor machinery will again be an essential part of the plan for getting farm jobs completed in 1045. ■Where farm families have work together In groups, utiliz ing all available machinery to the fullest extent, much time and labor has been saved and greater production has been ob tained. School Dental Work Over at Mocksville Dr. H. Stokes Zimmerman from the dental division of the North Carolina State Board of Health has completed his work in the Mocksville school and the report shows a total of 212 children inspected.

C ^ А О Е б THE M0CK6V1LLE (N. C.)FRTOAY, FEBRUARY 2,1045 FARM OWNERSHIP BORROWERS PAY FAR BEYOND EXPECTATIONS At the annual meeting of the Davie County Farm Ownership borrowers It was brought out by Locke Holland, FSA supervisor, that of the 19 farm ownership borrowers In this county $204 was the average annual repay ment due; that the farmers paid in an average of $617, or three times their average annual re payment. The largest repay ment made by any one borrower was seven times his Individual yearly repayment. Mr. Holland said that by these borrowers paying ahead of schedule they have enabled themselves to cross over any disaster In the way of alckness or farm crop failures without being In danger of los ing their farms. The variable payment plan under which the farm ownership borrowers can pay for their farms enables them to pay ahead of schedule aa far as they are able to In good years thus permitting them to pay less during the bad years. The average gross Income of the bor rowers buying their farms was $2,830. Of this Income, It Is very Interesting to note that 30 per cent of It came from milk, as against 26 per cent In 1943, and 23 per cent In 1942. Twenty-eight per cent of the 1944 Income was derived from the sale of tobacco as against 26 pdr cent in 194?

The summary of the 1944 Record Books also show ed that the average farm ex pense was 30 per cent of the total Income, as against 39 per cent In 1943 and 31 per cent In 1942. It is also Interesting to note that the home expense in 1944 was 18 per cent of the total Income, as against 19 per cent in 1943 and 20 per cent In 1042. Seventeen per cent of the total Income of the farm ownership borrowers went for reducing the land debt in 1942, as against 18 per cent in 1943, and 21 per cent In 1044, There Is no doubt, says the county supervisor, but what the families Intend to repay their farm loans as fast as possible during the present period of farm prosperity. Miss Estelle McElwee, home supervisor, discussed the home expenditures and really compli mented the families on their ability to hold home expenses down. Düring thlTlperldd when prices are so high for the things a housewife must buy. Miss Mc Elwee expressed the importance of using what they already had for the home rather than buy ing new furniture and household equipment unless absolutely necessary. She also brought out the Importance of home beauti fication, the neat, clean appear- th e- BURTON WILLIAMS Storage Bins for Crops IF you wore caught durini? tho harvest season this year without adequate storage for grain and other crops, you should look ahead to next season and tako steps to see that it doesa’t happen again. You may Btill be in bad shape for help in the coming year, so you’d better start early.It’s an inexpensive and relatively easy job to convert empty horse- stafls, old oat bins or other unused spfice into storage space for soy beans, grain and such crops. Tho important thins to remember when building the bins is to construct strong frames and tight walls. A good material available now for making bin walls is asbestos cement board. It provides a smooth, tight surface that will keep out rats and will not rot Made in large, semi-flexible sheets, it is easy to work with and ««aily cleaned, iince of yards, as well as the re pairs lo buildings, and keeping tools and equipment in the dry. Mr. Holland then discussed the trend in prices and income, and emphasled the fact that after each major war the prices which had risen during the war drop ped sharply to a depression level, and advised all farm owners to pay their surplus Income on the farm debt to avoid the foreclo sures which usually follow a pe riod of prosperity such as we are having now. The farm produc tion goals for 1945 were dis cussed, and each borrower was urged. In so far as possible', to Increase the production of need ed Items; Increase in the yield was urged rather than the num ber of livestock or number of acres, since they would not have any more labor in 1945 than in 1944, The Farm Security adminis tration has two main loans which are available and these are as follows: 1. Loans to en able tenant farmerr-to purchase farms, and 2.

Topdress Small Grains Early For best yields, small grains In most sections of North Car olina should be topdressed be tween February 1 and March 15, says W. H. Rankin, agrono mist of the Agricultural Experi ment Station at State College. Through the years tests have been shown 'that late applica tion of topdresslng after April have resulted in lower yields than where the same amount of topdresslng was applied at an earlier date, according to Rank in. He reports that under aver age conditions early topdresslng with 10 pounds of nitrogen per acre gave an Increase of about 8 bushels of wheat, for example, while late topdresslng gave only 3 bushels increase. _Rankin recommends from 16 to 32 pounds of nitrogen per acre and extra potash along with the nitrogen where heavy crops of legumes has been re moved. Sixteen pounds of nitrogen per acre may be obtained from 100 pounds of nitrate of soda, 80 pounds of calnltro or ANL, or 50 pounds of ammonium nitrate. Small grains which are used for grazing need extra nitrogen. Governor Cherry Warns Of Coal Shortage Gov. R. Gregg Cherry last week Issued a warning to the citizens of the State of the fuel .iliortage and asked for a re duction in fuel consumption In order that homes, places of busi ness. and the schools might have sufficient fuel with which to keep comfortable. The governor pointed out that fuel shortage had become so acute that It might become nec essary for some schools to close because of lack of coal. State officials who are charged with the responsibility of procuring coal for the public schools, the governor stated, have made and are makhig every effort to se cure coal, but the task Is be coming Increasingly dlflcult with no promise of relief for the im mediate future The governor urged that the temperature of homes, places of business, and schools be main tained at sixty-eight degrees and that every economy be effected. The superintendent and prin cipals of sciiools discussed the I'uel and heating situation last week. Some schools are having trouble maintaining satisfactory heat with an inferior grade of coal. With an early spring the schools of the coimty may be able to continue through the winter with the present supply of coal. ‘ Last 549 tons of coal were put Into the bins at the various scliools. Sixty per cent of this amount has been used to date. It was pointed out by school heads. Superintendent Hobson said a late spring would find the schools in a bad con dition, from the heating situa tion. Hobson stated that about two, thirds of the coal supply received this year was slack which does not burn readily In the type of boilers which are used In this county. It Is about the only type of coal to be ob tained In quantity. 3,000 tons of this type was sent to Winston- Salem dealers last week.

Answer the emergency call for 8,000 Medical WACS. Women from 20 to 50 are needed immediately for nbn-professional medical work in U. S. Army hospitals. 2. Help to relieve the doctor and nurse shortage by taking a Red Cross Nursing course to leam how to care for your own family. 3. Remember—1944 Income tax return forms do not provide for payment of the unforgiven portion of your 1942 tax due March 15. Separate statements are being mailed. 4. Write your servicemen cheerful, re-assuring and frè te n t letters. Use V-mail when you write overseas. Beware of complacency. When the war news Is good, redouble your efforts ón the' home front. Set an example your boy can be proud of. CIVILIAN SUPPLIES WILL BE LOW Supplies of meat, butter, sugar, canned and pack aged foods, clothing, and many durable goods will be smaller in 1945, OPA advises. Record buying and in creased military demands in 19^4 greatly reduced reserves,' which have so far helped meet demands. The present scarcity of metal household equipment and appliances wm remain acute until peacetime production can be resumed. At the same time more people will be eager to replace epuipment and household furnishings that are now more nearly worn out. Shortages always generate an urge to pay higher prices and get more. This increases the dangers of inflation. In 1945, OPA states, supplies will be large enough to meet essential civilian needs but much smaller than the amount people could buy with the money they wUl have to spend. The O P A program to meet this situation asks rigid compliance with rationing regulations and price ceilings, thus restraint In buying and a high level of savings, including war bond purchases. RATION FREE SHOE SALE COMING UP Limited quantities of men’s and women’s shoes may be sold to consumers ration free at specified price reduc tions during the two weeks period of February 19 through March 3, OPA announces. I'wo-fold purpose of the tem porary ration holiday, OPA states, is to give сопзшпета the benefit of extra shoe mileage that otherwise might re main unused on dealers’ shelves, and to help dealers clear their stocks of the normal accumulation of odds and ends and broken sizes. Before rationing, such shoes were customarily disposed of in seasonal clearance sales. OPA estimates that about 4,500,000 pairs of shoes will be sold in this special ration-free "sale.” CUT AUTOMOBILE RATION A cut of one-third will be made in the number of new Resigns passenger cars available for rationing in February, when the quantity will amount to 2,000 cars on a national basis, or 1,000 less than the preceding months. OPA reports: The action will leave about 12,000 new cars in the nation’s stockpile. ‘*WAR BONDS KEEP FARM DEBTS SAFE” “Encourage farmers to maintain a proper balance between making payments on mortgages and investing in War Bonds,” says the American Bankers Association in a bulletin addressed to the rural bankers of America. Banks are advised to “encourage farmers to main tain a proper balance between making payments on mort gages and investing in War Bonds. If a person pays a mortgage all up now, and then has to get another one after the war he may not be able to get terms as favorable as those he now has.” The bankers also call attention to the fact that “wear and tear on farm machinery and buildings must be paid for eventually, whether or not the mortgage is all paid off. A farmer will probably be in a safer position to end up the war with a moderate sized mortgage at a low in terest rate and a good nest egg In War Bonds than no mortgage, no bonds, and badly run-down buildings and equipment.” This is a part of the program of the American Bank ers Association airned at getting farmers to build up large enough War Bond reserves to give them financial protec tion in the post-war period.

C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY, 9, 1945 -------------------------------------------m---------;----------------— "All The County News For Everybody”NO. 48 RAT KILLING CAMPAIGN W ilt BE HELD IN COUNTY MARCH 6-7 A Rat Extermination cam paign will be conduct«d in Mocksville and Davie county on March 6 and 7, according to I an announcement made by coun ty agent, George Hobson. The county commissioners and town officials have enthusiastically indorsed the campaign, and urge all residents of the town and co||inty to Join in this program of getting rid of rats. Community and block lead ers are being appointed to take orders for the bait, and they will be announced next week. L. C. Whitehead, rodent conr trol agent of the U. S. depart ment of agriculture, will be in the county to personally super vise the mixing and distribu tion of the bait. Red Squill, a poison that is very destructive to rats, but relatively harmless to chickens, cats, dogs and other forms of livestock, will be used. This pois on has a distinct advantage in its use for rat killing, in that it causes domestic animals to vomit if eaten, and since mice and rats cannot vomit, it is sure death to them. It also acts fairly alow, and causes the rats to seelc water, and generally they leave buildings and will die out doors. It is estimated that a 3-pound package, enough for the aver age size farm, will cost $1. Resi dents of the town probably will not need but about half this amount, or a 50c package. It Is estimated there 1s at least one rate for every person, and head of livestock In the county. This means that we have ap proximately 30,000 rats, and each rat destroys over $2.00 worth of feed and food yearly, or $60,000 damage. It is a very common occurrence for a, far mer to go to his smoke house, and find a ham ruined by rats. On most farms It is almost Im possible to leave feed for any period of time in sacks, without them being damaged. One owner of a leading feed and grocery store In Moqksville stated this week that he would gladly give $30 if he could get rid of the rats in his store. Since iiats travel from farm to farm, and store to store, to be effective it is necessary that everybody Join at the same time in an eradication campaign. HERE AND THERE VAUCNTINB PAKTY Mn. H. B.

Three Brothers in Service Above are three sons in service of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Reynolds of Route 1. On the left is Pvt. Lester O. Reynolds who entered service on Sept. 23, IMS and Is now some where overseas. In the center is IPvt.

Reynolds is on the right. He entered service on March 16, 1943 and is now in the South Pacific. The Russians are reported across the Oder river in at least three sectors and many observers think the time is near at hand when the Germans must make their strongest counterattack to protect Berlin. Some accounts place the Russians only 30 miles from the Reich capital. While the greatest interest centers on the 73-mlle stretch of the Oder which the Russians have reached opposite Berlin, the amazing Red offensive Is really four great drives. One is the 20-mile Kustrin-Frankfurt sector on the Oder directly east of Berlin, one of the strongest parts of the German line where both cities are heavily fortified. Another is the drive in the north for the big port of Stettin at the mouth of the Oder in order to protect the flank of their thrust directly at Berlin. The third drivels in the Breslau sector of Upper Silesia. The fourth is on the extreme southern flank heading into Czechoalo- viWa. EVENTS IN THE WEST While the Allied advance in the west has not been as spectacular as the Russian campaign, General Isen- hower’s armies are making small, steady advances. Ber lin keeps saying that Isenhower is ready to begin a large offensive in the west in an effort to defeat the Germans on the Cologne plains where {^rmor and tanks can be ef fectively used. Such may be the case. Thawing the ground, both in the east and west, is re^ ported, however, to have started and it may hamper oper ations ior the present. Meanwhile the Allied air forces; in the west have been busy, dumping-bombs on industrial centers in Germany and giving Berlin its heaviest concentration of the war. MANILA IS FREED General MacArthur’s men have fiepd>Manila, although there is still some street fighting and thè Japs have put the torch to some of the business area. The capture of Manila came without as much hard fighting as was ex pected and it is attributed .^largely to the fact that the Japs were unable to bring in reinforcements and supplies because of the excellent work done by our navy and air men. More than 5,500 Allied prisoners have been rescued during the past week, mostly Americans, including those at Santo Tomas University Concentration Camp and Billi- did prison in Manila and the Cabanatuan Camp in Cen tral Luzon. A daring commando raid 25 miles behind the Jap lines rescued those in Luzon. The sòn-in-law of Col. W. G. Murchison of Davie is a prisoner of the Japs but the camp where he is located has not been taken. Lt. Col. David L. Hardee is also a prisoner but it is understood that he was moved from a camp near Manila to the mainland of Japan. While the full story of treatment by the Japs has not yet been revealed, enough has beep said to show it was, barbarious and sub-human. The names of those rescued will be released as soon as they are tabulated. BIG THREE MEETING President Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin are in con ference, and the meeting is being held in the Black Sela are. It is thought that they are discussing the mili tary finish of Germany, complete subjugation of Japan, political and economic aspects of reshaping Germany, Europe and the world. It appears that Germany will have a huge chunk of her land taken away from her. It was stated that nothing would be said about'the meeting until It was over when a simultaneous statement would be is sued from Washington, London and Moscow.

Mystery of their ori gin long has challenged science. Many theories have developed. Some say prehistoric plants were "nitrified'’ by bacteria in the soil. That’s what Pasteur’s work suggested. Others saythey are decayed vegetation. There is a belief the nitrate beds arc droppings of billions of birds. Another, that electricity formed them through centuries of violent storms. Some think tho beds are rotted rocks; some think they are a crust pushed up from underneath. ^ Perhaps the right theory com- bines parts of all of them. Who knows?

Plan Reduction In Fertilizer Grades Plans for reducing the amount of sand filler and raising the number of plant food unite in fertilizer sold in North Carolina were laid in Raleigh at a meeting attended by representatives of the Legislature, farm organiza tions, agricultural agencies, and the fertilizer industry. The group passed a resolution raising the number of plant food units from a minimum of 16 to 18 and leaving to the dis cretion of the State Board of Ag riculture and the Experiment Station the number of grades of fertilizer which may be offered for sale in this state. Ttie recommendation of the group will be drawn up as an amendment to the Fertilizer Law, according to D. S. Coltrane, who called the meeting. Coltrane, assistant to the Com missioner of Agriculture, said the amended law would elimi nate three grades of fertilizer— 3-8-5, 5-7-5, and 4-9-3,and would consequently "save the farmers of this state apporximately $4*2,- 000, which they spent for aand filler in these fertiliers last year." ■"If each dollar spent for aand In these grades In tbe 1943-44 FOR SALE AT AUCTION SATURDAY, FEB. 10 2 P M .

Agronomist Advises More Use Of Lime Although North Carolina uses more fertilizer—around $20,000,- 000 worth each year—than any oth\er state in the nation, It is far down on the list in the utili zation of lime, according to fig ures just released by the State Department of Agriculture. A report compiled in the De partment’s auditing office show ed that less-than .$500,000 is spent for commercial lime each year, thus placing the expenditure for fertilizer at about 60 times that for lime. I In the opinion of Dr. J. F. Reed associate agronomist wUh the N. C. Department of Agriculture and the Experiment Station, the fer tilizer the farmers buys “would often be a great deal more ef fective If applied on land that has been properly limed." Con sequently formers’ statements to the effect that they cannot of- ford to spend more on lime are geratly erroneous. According to -Dr. Reed, tests, recently carried out by the N. C. Experiment Station, show that where an application of phos phate was made on an acre oi landi the yield remained the same, but that when lime was applied, the yield In a pasture crop Increased from 1,300 pounds to the acre to 1,500 pounds. When lime and phosphate were used, the yield jumped from 1,500 to 2,700 pounds. While North Carolina now uses more than 140 pounds of lime to the acre of crop land and plowable pastiire, in 1940 this use was 75 pounds, and in 1935 the utilization was only IS pounds per acre.

Entered at the Post Office at Mocksville, N. C., as Second- Class Matter Under Act of Congrtss of March 8, 1879^ The Russian Offensive Ths Russian wtfMMP offensive has given comfort and cheer to the Alliey, and fear and dread to the Germans. We are not among those<Hwha fear Russian successes, as' we believe that the Allied world will find cooperation with Russia after the war will be possible, and mutually help ful. Russia has talcen a realistic attitude towards her enemies, and has conducted the war in that spirit and manner. We in America found it difficult to do this be cause it was so hard for us to be convinced of the utter corruption of the Oerman mind and the brutal practices which went with It. Riissia has had experlenoe. The old purges which the reat of the world could not understand, shocked the world. But Russia knew that Germany was then working to win and conquer Germany from within— just as she did in France. But the Russians, being wise, headed that off by liquidating the fifth column. Thus Germany failed to pcpflt by such Inside help. We have tried to conduct war along some lines of decency, and trying to observe some of the International agreements. It has t^ e n us a long time to learn that Germany respects nothing, understands nothing but force. Our. western front will have to take its own realistic at titude, and go In for an all-out war before we push back tha-t Oerman line. Russia is under no illusions about Ger many; she knows the character of the enemy and makes war in a manner suitable to a degenerate foe. Nightclubs We heartily subscribe to the. Charlotte Observer’s declaration that, “Night Clubs represent a form of diver sion that is not only inappropriate while the terrors and horrors of war are being experienced, but but of the very nature of their case;under all conditions and at all times they are inherently evil." Our knowledge' Of '‘night clubs does not arrive from experience, but reports and pictures. These, however, are quite sufficient to convince us that they are evil spots In our national life. The bare statistics on cost and wast ages alone are sufficient to condemn them. Laying aside all other aspects, a social system which permits them when millions of people are living below the line of decency is terribly wrong; and, there is something terribly, wrong with the conscience of individuals who can Indulge in them and remain indifferent to human needs. These sore spots should be cleaned up in normal times, and they should be absolutely prohibited in war times.

State Collcfe Ordinary floor wax, rubbed on sparingly after regular polish ing, helps to preserve dress or street shoes. For heavy work shoes, rub In warm tallow or wool grease, or cod, castor, or neat’s-foot oil Pay For School Teachers We fail to be able to follow' the argument against the bill to provide more adequate pay for school teachers. The rise in their pay has not kept pace with the rise in the cost of living. But this is not, after all, the primary reason for Increase in pay. No group of people in this country I . is more important to the needs of our times and our child l / ren. Thè teachers have never received pay commensurate with the service's which they render to society, and in this lack of adequate reward they have contributed millions of dollars to society, as well as the strong moral and spiritual I influence which they liiive exerted. This latter cannot be measured In terms of dollars. The character of our teach ers have been the saving Influence in a world dominated by material things and values. This lack of pay has driven many of our able and competent teachers into other professions. One among many instances which we could give is that of a man who grew tired of being a sort of political pawn And the whims of boards resigned and entered another line of busi ness. Today he recelvès about three times the salary which he received In teaching, and has become a valuable mem ber of the business in wWch he is engaged. Our teachers deserve the best which the state can give; the children are the most important asset of our present and future They should have the best, and that best should be ad equately supported.

But for either method of cook ing, It Is important to choose varieties of apples that hold their shape well In cooking. To glaze, scrub apple; well and remove cores. Cut a slit in skin all the way around the apple at right angles to the core to pre vent skin from bursting during cooking. Place apples in a sauce pan. Make a mixture of spice and sugar using a teaspoon of allspice or cinnamon to each cup of sugar. Put the sugar and spice mixture in the holes left by removing the cores. Add a fourth cup of water for each apple in the pan. Cover the pan on top of the stove over low heat. Turn apples once during cook ing. Cook until apples are ten der.

BUY WAR BONDS, STAMPS Supply Of Shipping Containers Is Short Wooden containers and fiber boxes and packages for the ship ping of fresh fruits and vege tables grown this year are short. Lumber Is a critical material Equipment and labor In the woods and In the manufactur ing plants continue to be quite a problem. J. Y. Lassiter Extension horti culturist at State College, says that the current packaging sit uation does not justify any slack ening In methods of stocking new and used containers. He urged the orders for contain ers by shippers and growers be placed as far ahead as possible when they are needed and that delivery be taken at any time the containers are available. He also suggests the salvaging of containers and the re-using of them to the utmost. The num ber of used containers available last year w a s made possible through consistent ordering throughout the season. There is no place for the storing of used containers except in the sheds of growers and shippers. Where these containers are not quickly moved Into storage, many of them are destroyed because of lack of storage space. Inventories of containers car ried over by growers sfnd ship pers of early fruits and vege tables are much smaller than last year, according to reports. Even normal production of these crops for the fresh market will put a very heavy load on container requlrementa.

Monroe Johnson, director of the Office ot Defense Trans portation, urges that schools and colleges cancel thler spring vacations this year. Col. Johnson pointed out that this year’s spring vacation will come during the existing extremely critical period in wartime transportation, when every effort must be made to avoid non-essential travel. Th^ omission of these vacations will be especially desirable bs it affects students who must travel to reach their homes, for it “will save for each student a trip home and return,” he wrote in a letter to John W. Studebaker, United States Commissioner of Education. As many as 300,000 students would normally be taking such vacation trips, Mr. Stude baker said in endorsing Col. Johnson’s recommendation. TIRE QUOTAS AGAIN REDUCED Passenger car tire quotas for the month of February have been cut by the Office of Price Admnistratlon 1,600,- 000, the lowest since last October, and are 200,000 fewer than last month and 400,000 tire below December. Quotas of tires for tractor-implement use, on the other hand, re main unchanged at 50,000. The February reduction, states Brig. Gen. Royal Lord, deputy chief of staff to General Eisènhour, “can be summed up in two words^mllltary necessity." He pointed out that tires on war equipment vwar out at an “enormous rate” and that the military “sim ^ doesn’t have enough tires.” And in the words of Max Mc Cullough, deputy OPA Administrator for Ratlonbig, “the reduced passenger car tire quotas again point up the vital importance of prompt recapping and tire repairs.” CAR OWNERS FACE “HARDEST PERIOD Owners of passenger cars, trucks and busses In 1945 will face the hardest period since the war began—^with 1,500,000 more passenger cars breaking down during the year; with gasoline and tires supplies remaining crltifcally short; and with the serious shortage of lead neccessitating greater public conservation of batteries, OWI states in a report reviewing the supply situation for civilians. Key facts of the passenger car situation: no production of new cars in 1945; a 4,000 car a day disappearance from high ways, the dwindling stock of new cars remaining in the ration pool (12,000 on February 1); estimates that it will take from two to three years to fill the pent-up postwar demand for 12,000,000 to 15,000,000 new motor cars. CONSERVATION IS WATCHED Proper care of radios, refrigerators, washing machines, stoves and electrical and mechanical appliances is more Im portant today than ever before, says the Office of Civilian Requirements of the War'Production Board. The increased i need for war production means a delay in resilming pro duction of household appliances and equipment. This fac tor, combined with the acute shortage of repair shop facilities, makes it imperative that every efforts be made to prolong the life of equipment now in use, OCR emphasized. Householders are urged to save and care for their equip ment by keeping moving parts properly oiled, taking care not to overload motors, washers and wringers, keeping all types of equipment clean and avoid careless handling. RUSSIA TO RAISE MÒRE OF OWN FOOD Russia will produce still more of her own vitally need ed food this year as a result of 20,000 tons of seeds that have been furnished by the United States for Soviet spring plant ings, according to the War Food Administration. The ton nage is the first half of a delivery agreed upon for this ‘ year, The seeds will be used in the Ukraine, for the moat jart, the richest Soviet agricultural district, which, earlier in the war, was overrun to the extent of 150,000,000 acres by the Nazis. During the German retreat in 1943 and 1944 he Nazis carried out an effective policy of destruction of nearly 60i000,000 acres. This seed help from the United States is made possible, incidentally, through the growth in this coimtry of a practically new industry In America; In pre-war days this country was primarily a seed Importer from,European nations and never produced more than a ( fraction of the seed required to sow American crops. The war has raxUcally changed this. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1945 m il«M »m L L I (N. C.) BNfBRniiSE PAoer - Q ÀuLi pfc.

M. G. TAGE в THE MOCKSVILLE (N. С.) ENTERPRISE FRTOAY, FEBRUARY 9 1945 NEWS OF FARM CONSERVATION By O. W. McCLELtAN F. R. Lakey, near Cana, sowed 1 acre of alfalfp In 1943, He made 11 big tractor trailer loads of baled hay from this field. In discussing his cows milk produc tion which is well above the ave rage, Mr. Lakey was very con fident a good bit of credit could be given to having a good quality of hay. Profitable production of milk goes hand in hand with plenty of good legume hay and ample pas tures. Deèp rooted legumes like al falfa sericea lespedeza and kudzu make more yields of half and re quires less average to mow, auto matically allowing more vege- ietion to be returned to the soil. Tills promotes sol) Improvement and conservation. Guy Gaither, 'near Sheffield, sowed a meadow strip in a natu ral draw in a field last fall. He used a mixture of grasses and clovers, ample fertilizer and lime. During this year, Mr. Gaither can empty terrace water on to this strip as well as getting hay from it. FARM QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED Question: Should 1 change to the growing of hybrid corn? Answer: "Farmers are not Jus tified In changing from a na tive variety of corn, with which tbey are familiar, to a corn hy brid unless the hybrid possesses certain characteristics that make it aupertor to the native variety," «У8 Dr. R. P. Moore of the Agri cultural Experiment Station at State college. "Not only must the bybrid be superipf, but its au- pertority must be euffielently IfM t M that the extrp expendl- tare for wih be «n inveat- ment rather than an ехрели. Many hibrida are now available that will return 1,000 per cent or more intereat on the teed In- veetment when compared aide by àid^ with varieties of corn now grown. Yes, even with certified varieties." IJAMES X ROADS Question; The windows of my brooder house are on the south side, pull in at the top, and have side shields. Why does the litter get so damp? Answer: T. T. Brown, Exten sion poultry specialist at State college, suggests that you do not have proper ventilation and that when the cold air meets the warm air, the latter, loses a part of Its water and keeps the litter damp. He also suggests that you provide air outlets on the south .side between the raft ers above the plate so as to give good ventilation. You are to be congratulated on having pull-in windows at the top and the shields on each side to prevent a draft reaching the floor. Damp litter encourages coccidiosls and other diseases. Chlclts In poor ly ventilated houses show a tendency to grow out and feather rather irregularly. Question: What Is the best way of starting kudzu on gullied land? Answer: Enos Blair, Extension agronomist at State college, sug gests that you dig holes about 20 feet apart, 18 Inches square, and about 15 Inches deep. Pill the holes with a mixture of soil, manure, and about I pound of supsrphosphate or mixed ferti lizer. Two plants should be set In each hole, using about 2 to 3 year old crowns and setting them before they have started to srow In late winter. Keep the crowns protected after they are dug. so that they will not dry out or freeae. Girdles are like the Japs—both ersep up oil ; ou and it takes a V.ink to gst them down.

C. state College Fresh raw vegetables are rich In vitamins and minerals, and If we.ate all our vegetables raw, Just as they were picked out of the garden, we wouldn’t have to worry about getting plenty of these necessary health - pro tecting nutrients. But unfortu nately some vitamins are very elusive. We need to protect them from contact with air as much as possible. Therefore cover utensils, and don’t stir while cooking Naturally a covered utensil will continue to steam on a much lower heal than an open one, so foods are actually cook ed in steam when you follow the “little water, tight cover rule,” That saves both fuel and food value. DON'T MIND THEM I THEY'RE JUST MY CAR POOL" Here are some tlmps from tex tile and clothing specialists. Be cause the shock of freezing shrinks and hardens wool, it is usually best to dry woolen wash- ables Indoors In cold weather.- A third sheet over wool bed ding makes a useful dust cover and adds warmth since it holds still air in the fluffy wool. If wool clothes . get wet or muddy, dry them slowly at room warmth, never clo.se to a stove or radiator, and brush clean when dry. When a wool garment gets a rest after a day or two of wear, the wool springs back and some wrinkles drop out, so less pre.ss- Ing is needed To "block” a new or newly- washed hand - knit garment, here is an easy method. Sprinkle two heavy bath towels slightly and spread the garment between them, pulling to desired meas urements and pinning to shape, (Before washing it Is handy to lay garment on paper or cloth and draw outline to use in re shaping,) Cover with a board or other firm, flat surface. Weight this down and leave un til the g&rment Is dry. A light steam-pressing, without washing, al.so gives knits a finished look.

ITA M n Many Communities Grow Strawberries Hundreds of communities in North Carolina will specialize in the growing of small Irults this year and the strawberry Is the lavorlte of such fruits In most of the communities.m H. R. Nlswonger, In charge of Horticultural Extension at State college, Is sponsoring this activ ity. In the countle.«; the farm and home agents are giving direct supervision, and vocational agri cultural teachers, rural neigh borhood leaders, and represen tatives ol all agricultural agen cies are cooperating. Each neighborhood conducts its own project. The neighborhood leaders, both white and Negro, select some merchant or other centrally lo cated person through whom all the orders are pooled. Every lamlly in the community is en couraged to set Irom 100 to 200 strawberry plants, where this Is the chosen lruit,*and the county and home agents supply the necessary information for fer tilizing, cultivating and conserv ing the crop. Several meethigs are held during the first year so that local problems connected with the production and han dling of the crop may be work ed out. With the rationing of fruits, Nlswonger says that the grow ing of some such small fruit as strawberries for a specialty, with all the families Iri a given area cooperating, offer.s the very best method ol meeting the situa tion and building up an ade quate diet. Many communities in all sec tions ol North Carolina already have their plans under way, ac cording to Nlswonger. Some in dividuals have expanded their growing ot strawberries Iron a lew rows in tbe garden to as much as hall an acre. Some go so tar as to predict that North Carplljda .mayvone day b«.rknomi as the «Strawberry State.” tN,000 q v n TRAOHINO The National Education elation ' reports that 980,000 teachers have abandoned the - profession since Pearl Harbor.

RAT KILLING PLANS COMPLETE; PUCES NAMED TO GET BAIT - Plans for the rat killing cam paign In Davie county have iI been completed, Oeorge Hobson, ^ountyr^agent. .states. ..The: cam paign, which has been indorsed by the county commissioners and the town officials'of Mocksville, will be conducted on March 6 and 7. The bait to be used will be Red Squill mixed with ground raw fish. It has been found that this bait is tho most attractive to rats, and is harmless to domesti cated animals, including dogs and cats. Since the bait is a perishable product it is neces sary that orders for it be se cured In advance „of the cam paign. Orders tor the bait will be taken until March 1, and only enough material will be ordered for those paying for it in ad- vance. A quart of the prepared bait will cost one dollar. This is enough materlàl for the average farmstead. Rats travel from farm to farm, and If the program is fully'suc cessful it will be necessary for all farmers to purchase a pack age of bait, and put it out the same night. Therefore, this is a county wide project, and lead ers should place their orders and encourage t.heir neighbors to do likewise. Balt for the town of Cooleemee is being bought and distributed by the Erwin mjlls. Places at which bait may be ordered throughout the county will be seen in an advertisement on page 8 of this week’s issue of the paper.

Meeting for eight days ending last Sunday at a his toric conference which will shape tomorrow’s world, Roose velt, Churchill and Stalin announced a nine-point program to conclude the war and begin to organlz^ the peace. The , meeting was held on Russian soil—In the one-time simimer palace of Czar Nicholas 11 on the Black Sea at Yalta in the Crimea. While many questions were unanswered, the confer ence showed that Germany had lost all of her efforts to ffplit the allies and that the Big Three solved world prob lems in a spirit of give-and-take. Some of the major resolves included; Final extermination of Nazism and militarism; elimi nation or control of all German industry usable for war; no softening of unconditional surrender; and no break in the Allied front. , Collaboration in peace plans to be formally drafted at a United Nations Conference at San ]b?rancisco April 25; and a settlement (its nature not yet disclosed) of the ques tion of veto power for the great nations on peace council actions. Joint action to effectuate the Atlantic Charter prin ciple of self-government for liberated peoples, with U. S. participation on a far larger scale than heretofore. On only one point that had figured strongly in prelim inary speculation did the three leaders fail to report agree ment or action. That was the question of possible Soviet participation in the war against Japan. Pointedly, Japan went unmentioned in the announcement. However, the Japanese War had 8 high place in strictly British-American Conferences at Valletta, Malta, preced ing the Crimea session. The emphasis on Japan in the Malta sessions was shown by the personnel of the parties. Prominent in the British group were Admirals who likely would have a part in a stepped-up war against the Oriental enemy. The nine points are; 1. Detailed agreement among the United States, Britain and Russia on military plans against Germany which “will result in shortening the • war.” As if speak ing to Ine German people over the hejid eft Hitler,/the com munique'warned them that Nazi Oernimy Is doomed. The German people will only make the cfpst of their defeat heavier to.themselves by attempting to'\contlnue a hope less resistance.” 2. A final decision to split Germany into zones of mil itary occupation after victory. The United States, Great Britain and Russia each will occupy a zone, and France will be invited to occupy another. If she accepts, as she Is expected to do, the control commission will be expanded to include French members. Victory is to be followed by destruction of Nazism and militarism and elimination or control of German industry capable of war production. 3. A commission will be set up in Moscow to consider the amount of German reparations, and how they should be paid. The communique spoke especially of reparations in kind—presumably labor and goods. ^ 4. A formula for settling the ranking Polish issue was agreed upon. It provides for mergihg the provisional gov ernment now recognized by Russia with certain unnamed “democratic leaders” from within Poland and from exile Poles abroad. It also provides that Churchill and Roose velt recognize Stalin’s insistence on the Curzon line as Poland's eastern boundary which gives Russia huge chunks of so-called old Poland including the cities,of Vilna and Lwow. 5. Another formula along the same lines was disclosed for Yugoslavia. The Big Three said Marshal Tito, who la. (Continued on page 8) PAGE 2 THE MOCKSVILLE (N. C.) ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16,1945 CONCORD SHE’S AGAINST "COLD FEET" —(American soldiers cim’t do their best fighting with cold feet, according to Mrs. Mollle Shore, above, of YadkinvJlle. To remedy this problem for least a few soldiers, Mrs. Shore spins the wool and knits socks Which can be depended upon to doJts much to warm the feet as any- thlng short of a nice, warm fire. Mrs. Shore, a widow for the past five years, has used this spinning v/heel for the greater part of time since the turn of the century. In her early life she spun thread for garments other than socks, but,has done none of that In recent years. "The old spinning wheel In the parlor” is not nearly as speedy as are the great factory ma chines, but Mrs. Shore regards It a great deal of pleasure to make the docks and she knows that when a soldier finally gets a pair of the handmade foot warmers he will be the. best dressed man for footwear In his outfit.

Tells Story Of Home Demonstration A human Interest story of hdw home demonstration work over came all early obstacles and grew to be one of the great education al movements of the past quarter century Is dramatically told In a new book written by Mrs, Jane S. McKlmmon and Just released by the University ot North Car* olbia Press. The book bears the unassum ing title ot ’’When We’re Green, We Grow” and In Its 3S3 pages will be found Incidents, hitherto unrevealed history, and much remarkable human Insight which tell better than statistics how the farm women of this state work ed to form the present success ful home demonstration pro gram. Mrs. McKlmmon was one of the five pioneer state home agents, beginning her work in 1911, to promote girls 'tomato clubs. The idea was based on the succe.ss- ful boys’ corn clubs which had been organized by the Farmers Cooperative Demonstration work. Mrs. McKlmmon was able to get 14 counties organized in that first year and 230 farm girls planted one-tenth acre of to matoes each and filled 35,000 cans. The.ve pioneer counties were Alamance, Catawba, Edge combe, Gates, Granville, Guil ford, Hertford, Madison, Meck lenburg, Moore, Pitt, Wake, Wayne, and Wilkes. Each of these counties put up $75 for a year’s work, with the exception of Wayne whidi was willing to risk only $50. The first ageats were supposed to work only during the canning season but, as Mrs. McKlmmon tells, they worked the whole summer, and have continued to work In that man ner since that time. The book should be in the li brary of eve.’y farm home in North Carolina. RATION REMINDER MEATS, FATS—Red Stamps Q5, R5, S5—last date for use March 31. Red Stamps—T5, Uo, V5, W5, and X5—^Aprll 28.

McCLELiiAN W. T. Spry, near Turrentlne Church, recently approved a farm plan with the Middle Yad kin Soil Conservation District. Mr. Spry says he has decided he would have to do some con servation worl? or his soil would all be gone. Ray' Lag'.e, one of Mr. Spry’s neighbors, said he icnew erosion had taken away more soil in the last five months than had been taken in a year over a pe riod of about 40 years. When more people become conscious of the seriousness of erosion, surely they will do every thing possible to keep their soil which is Davie county’s most valuable natural resource. J. F. Cope, near the Horse Shoe Bend of the Yadkin river, had the county agent and ' the writer to help him stake some terraces last August. The field was staked for Mr, Cope was badly eroded, very de pleted. He terraced it, applied lime and sowed a mixture of grain and winter legumes. Any one doui)ting the value of con servation work should visit Mr. Cope and see the results he has in a short time—then decide if "Conservation Pays.” ELECTRIC SERVICE TO BE AVAILABLE EJeetric .service will be made available to all farmers in this area under plans formulated at a meeting of the board of di rectors of the Davie Electric Membership corporation, it v/as announced today by Charles C. Smoot, president of the board. Meeting in regular session at the office of the REA coopera tive, the, board voted unanimous ly to offer service throughout the territory which Includes .the counties of Davie and Iredell the northern third of Rowan, the eastern half of Alexander, Yad kin south of Highway 421, and the southeastern part of Wilkes. While materials for construc tion of lines may, not. be avail able until .ifter the war, farm ers will be given an opportunity to apply for membership now, according to Clayton Moretz, co operative manager. “By apply ing now, farmers can be assured service several months sooner than by waiting until materials are released,” Mr. Moretz said. “We plan to be out in front with maps prepared and lines. de signed so . that construction can be started at the earliest possi ble date.” While details for signup are not complete, Mr. Moretz said that meetings would be held in all counties and that community leaders would be called on to see .that every one had an opportu nity to apply for service. “We want every rural home, regard less of how far it is off a main highway, to have the conveni ence of electricity,” Mr. Moretz said. With more than 1900 connect ed members the cooperative is taking advantage of favorable legislation enacted by the 78th congress to extend the benefits of electricity to .other farmers. In discussing these plans, Mr. Smoot said, “What is good for me and my neighbors is good for the other fellow, and we are going to do all we can to help others get electric service.” Farmers who applied for serv ice before the war but whose lines could not be built because of the material .shortage were given encouragement by H. A. Hill, representative of the Rural Electrification Administration, who attended the meeting. ''Of course“ the needs of our fighting men come first,” Mr. Hill explained, “but when ma terials -for the construction of distribution lines can be released by the War Production Board hese lines will be started. Mem bership feRS are on deposit at a local baink and maps are ap proved and on file in readiness for starting construction.” Mr, Hill pointed put that short extensions to dwellings, farms Leader Lt.

Not A Nice Page For History The eighteen thousand American soldiers in . Europe now A. W. O. L. from the army, and reported to be mfaged In the black .marketi are but a small part of the greal American army in Europe, but it is eighteen thousand too many. It seems incredible' that that number of mein could be found in the American army whose sense of duty was so lacking, and their sense of values so small that they could cast such disgrace upon the country for which they ai« presumed to be lighting for. Here is one matter oi sufficient importance to warrant some of the investigations of which Congress seenia to be so fond. These men should be properly disciplined, and certainly one part of it should Include publication of their names so that the country, and lliieir communltiei^ might know the men. who deserted their country in a time when the help of every man was needed. Much Ado About Nothing There are folks in thé world with such vindictive natures that they seiie upon any and every pretext for making life miserable for those against whom they are prejudiced. A case in point is the wide publicity given toj !the priority transportation for the Roosevelt dog. The reports were grossly exaggerated. Even if the dog had been put off, only one man, not three, or five, as reported, could have ridden the plane. Perhaps it was wrong to caTty| the dog at all when the space was needed for something else, but this was a minor infraction, and we’d wager, if we were wagering, that such things go on in other areas with out the slightest attention being paid to it. This time it gave an opportunity to disgruntled persons to attempt vengence. Such sensational reports, and unwarranted attacks by the newspapers, may account for the fact that what a man needs to be elected President is to get all the newspapers against him. After all, the mass of people in America do have a sense of fair play. The President And Congress The President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the Conferess of the United States, have not been altogether harmonious In their views and actions. There have been strange alignments In congress, both for, and against, the President. ^One of the strangest of these is the c'ooperatlon of Southern Democrats with Northern and Western Republicans. There are many things to be said in favor of both sides, and many things can be said against both sides. However, not being an expert political analyst we forego the attempt to analyze these differences. We would like to express our oponlon that In the conduct of the war the President has been far ahead of congress ' in his thinking to escape the conviction, after reading the history of events for the past four years, that our success in the war has beea due to the leadership of the President and his military advisors far more than to congress—for there have been many who have fought him on those issues from the time In which lend-lease and the calling out of the National Guard were brought up, until the present moment. Those who have opposed him have created dis unity, susplclonand delay. The latest case in point is the Work or Fight bill. The military leaders who ought to know what it takes to win a war asked for It, and the President has asked for It. But congress hesitates, debates, delays, regardless of the fact that the situation Is critical. They are showing again the disposition to wage political war fare rather than aid in winning the victory over our enemies. Comparison of the war records will result, we believe, in a decision for the President. gOME FUm -............ W U TO THT SCRAP om vrr SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAM A SUCCESS 264 CHILDREN EXAMINED IN CLINIC The district health department has been sponsoring a health program In the county this year which has reached many of the pupils in the cooleemee school. The highlight o! the program was reached Wednesday, Jan uary 31, when Health Day was observed In the local school. Dr. Hege, district health officer, and the nurses of the county spent] two days checking the children In school who. the teachers and nurses thought, needed It. Thirty-two pre-school chldren were examined and Immunized. Several of these children need corrections made before they enter school next fall. The ma- orlty of these children were ac companied by one or both par ents; they saw Dr. Hege make the examinations and will prob ably carry out his recommenda tions. All of the parents are being sent letters telling them of the recommendations of Dr. Hege. Two hundred slxty-rour child ren were examined by the phy sician. Of this number 139 had bad tonsils: 78 need dental at tention, 5 have nutrition defects, and 5 have heart defects. Two hundred iorty-three were vac cinated for smallpox and 37 were Immunized against whooping cough and diphtheria. Parents oi all school children are urged to cooperate in every way possible In an effort tp Im prove the health of the Cool eemee school children. We want to take this oppor tunity to thank C. C. Erwin, County Superintendent, who planned the program, Dr. Hege, and the county nurses, Mrs. Oreene and Mrs. Stroud, for th« splendid service to the children. EPHESUS NEWS .

The farmer insisted on swapping the butter for a pair of woolen socks. The merchant went home and report ed this to his wife. "We have a woolen bedspread,” she said, “I’ll unravel it and knit a pair of socks.” So she proceed ed to make the pair of socks and the merchant exchanged them for a pound of butter. When the merchant needed more butter, his wife would un ravel more of the bedspread to be exchanged for the butter. Fi nally, one day she had enough wool left for only one sock. The merchant took it to the farmer and asked for a half pound of butter for it. “No, I’ll give you a full pound,” said the farmer. “You se’e, 1 real ly don’t wear the socks. My wife unravels the wool and uses it for knitting a bedspread, and there’s just enough in this one sock to finish it.” The best illustration of the value of brief speech reckoned in dollars was' given by Mark Twain. His story was that when he had listened for five minutes to the pre.acher telling of the heathen, he wept, a;nd was go ing to contribute fifty dollars, after ten minute.s more of the sermon, he reduced the amount of his prospective contribution to twenty-five dollars, after half an hour more of eloquence, he cut the sum to five dollars. At the end of an hour of oratory when the plate was passed, he stole two dollars.

Questions For Each Farmer To Answer Since recently announced war goals calls for increases of prac tically all food and feed crops for 1945 and since prectically all tillable acres are already busy, the question arises as to how these goals may be reached. Enos Blair, Extension agrono mist at State College, suggests that each grower ask himself the following questions. "Am I get ting ready for 1945 crops by doing all the fall plowing I con? If not, am I ready to begin preparing the soil early in the year? “Do I realize the great import ance of turning under legumes to increase crop yields? ‘Do I have all the seed neces sary to plant my crops, and is] the seed of good quality? “Should I hot plan top use more fertilizer and lime next year, in view of the increased demand for food and feed crops? Do I know the best kind of ferti lizer to use or do I plan to take whatever my dealer happens to have? Have I placed my order for fertlllber so that I will be assured of early delivery. "Do I realize the Importance of planting all my crops on time? Is all my equipment in good con dition and am I ready for soil preparation, planting, cultivat ing, and harvesting? Will I be able to gather my crops without any unnecessary delays? “Do I ht\ve facilities to store my crops properly?

Answer: No. say agronomy specialists with the State col lege extension service. Unless you are certain that the hybrid pos sesses oertam characteristics that makes it superior to the native variety with which you are al ready familiar. Not only must the hybrid be superior, but its superiority must be sufficiently great that the extra expendi ture for seed '«flil be an Invest ment rather than an expense to you. BALTIMORE Question: What has gone with all the pork on the market? Answer: In order to meet mil itary requirements, packing plants have had to reduce sales to civilian trade, says H. L.

"We need 363 million acres of crops—an area larger than France, iOefmany, and the Brit ish isles,” .says WFA officials in speaking oi the 1945 crop pro duction goala. ter may be used advantageously for spring feeding, because a weaker solution tends to stim ulate brood rearing. Natural stores of honey and pollen, how ever, are much more desirable than artificial foods. Honey should not be fed to bees unless it is known to have come from disease - free colonies. Soybean flour and sweetened skimmed milk have also be^n used suc cessfully to supplement natural pollen in the early spring when natural stores o( pollen are ex tremely low. State College Hints To Farm Homemakers By RVTH CURRENT N. C. state College Clothing specialist offer these suggestions to make a woolen coat or suit wear longer: Give It a brush off in the alt. Brush woolen clothes often, in the di rection of the grain of the cloth, inside and out, and in and around pockets and cuffs. Hang woolen clothes outdoors when weather permits. Hang clothes straight on hang ers—zip placket.s and button the top buttons. If you do not have a trouser hanger or wooden hanger with a cross bar on It, fold a piece of heavy cardboard over aw ire hanger to hold the crease in trousers. Regular cleaning before clothes become badly soiled lengthens wear. Before pesslng clothes at home, remove spots—a war iron may "set” them so they will never come out. Steam press with a moderately hot iron, too hot an Iron may scorch even through a pressing cloth. Protect woolenà from pests. Winter is not a closed season for clothes moths or carpet beetles, so play safe by using moth balls, flakes, or crystals, and keep stored woolens sealed in paper or airtight boxes, chests or closets. Put in reinforcements. New coats or suits, or good ones taken out of moth ball.s in readiness for returning service men, can be reinforced by sewing in pro tective underarm shields, knee and seat retreads, and “wear guards” on trouser legs. Mend clothes in time. Tiny holes are easier to hide than big ones and a thin place reinforced may never break through. Repair with care. Directions for making professional-looking repah's In men’s and women’s suits and coats, mending worn collar rolls, sleeve linings, trous er cuffs or pocket edges, are in cluded In "Mending Men’s Suits,” M. P. 482, available from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington. D. C. Ths Illustrated bulletin also Includes instruc tions for making suit alterations and putting In protective shields, retreads and wear guards. WFA announces set - asides that indicate the war require ments for canned vegetables will be somewhat greater in 1945 than in 1044, while those for canned fruit will be slightly leas. There is little excuse for con tinued infestations of poultry flocks with external paraaltea as they can be quickly controlled by recognition and proper treat ment. Outlook p. W.

D. Orlnnells, veterlnanlan with the agricul tural experiment station at State college. I Flrit farmeis can Increase the ‘UvabUlty’ of this spring’s pigs by giving brood sows better ra tions ' from now until farrow ing time. Pigs weighing close to three pounds at birth are likely to live; pigs weighing only two pounds are more likely to die. Good pre-natal rations for sows make the dillerence. Second, have warm, dry, sani tary farrowing houses, with good bedding, and with guard rails to save the pigs from being In jured. Third, keep pigs away from old hog lots and buildings^where they could pick up parasites and disease germs; move them to clean, fresh pasture as soon as possible, and keep them there. Fourth, have the entire pig crop vaccinated against cholera near weaning time. Fifth, start feeding pigs as early as possible, and keep them gaining as rapidly as possible. Don’t forget that plenty of clean water is as important as feed, for both h!;alth and fast gains. Dr. Orlnnells points out that the largest share of the pork crop Is lost through baby pigs deaths which occur during the first few weeks after farrowing, and that prevention of these losses can help more thany any thing else toward reaching In creased 1B45 pork goals. A tight supply situation Is ahead In shipping containers. Including those for fruits and vegetables, and textile bags, es pecially, according to the WFA. The number of prebred ani mals brought Into the United States for breeding purposes was up by about 1900 animals last year—over the year before.

To provide continuing consultation of the Big Three the chiefs of state agreed that their Foreign secretaries should meet every three or four months, beginning In Lon don about the middle of the year. 7. rhe Big Tlvree also made up their minds on the big issue still unsettled In the Dumbarton Oaks plan for world organization and agreed that the United Nations should liold a full dress conference on this plan in San Francisco beginning April 25. The issue which had previously led to disagreement was whether a big power, if accused of ag* gression, should have a veto power on any action against itself. The formula for settling this dispute will be made known as soon as China and France have been consulted. 8. It was ^ e e d that the Big Three powers should Join In assisting any of the liberated or former Axis states of Europe in carrying out measures designed to guarantee the peoples’ right to choose their own government. This is one of the most far-reaching decisions for it means that from now on the United States may have a direct hand in every European settlement pending the proposed creation of the world security organization which wlli give it an even greater role in world affairs. 9. The Big Three summed up by predicting that vic tory and the Dumbarton Oaks plan together “will provide the greatest opportunity in all history to create a lasting peace,” with freedom from fear and want. WAR IN THE EAST Russians forces have captured Budapest after a 14- week seige and the two flanking armies in the north and south are driving ahead to straighten out the line for an other smash towards Berlin by Zhukov’s army. Berlin «ays the Russians have established some bridgeheads across the Oder but the Russians are mum about it. ADVANCES IN THE WEST The Allies continue to make advances into the Seig- Irled line in the west, although they are hampered by mud, rain, flooding of the Roer river and thaws. Both Pruem and Kleve have been taken. Correspondents were allowed this week to say that fisenhower had not committed his strongest forces In the west and many think that a huge offensive both from the east and west against Germany will come in March. This final surge may mean the doom of Berlin, although m ^y ttilnk he and other Nazi bigwigs will retreat to Bavaria jmd Austria with picked SS divisions to fight until they are dug out of mountain fastnesses. James P. Byrnes, back from Yalia, hinted that the biggest military blow against the Nazis was around the corner when he said that the Allies would have more men fighting in March than at any time during the war. CIVILIANS AT WAR Your government needs and asks its citizens in this 167th week of the war to: 1. Keep your car in good repair. Make it last., 2. Start work now on your income tax return. Pile it as soon as possible. 3. Be one of those donating 100,000 pints of blood to meet the week’s quota for wounded servicemen, FARM FIREWOOD SALES UNDER CEILINGS All firewood sold by farmers from this week on will be subject to price ceilings, the, Of flee of Price Administra tion states. Ceilings will be set at the highest prices charged by the farmer for the same type of wood In March 1942, or at otherwise determined by the General Maximum S WAYS TO FILE YOUR TAX RETURN OUTLINED Joseph D. Nunan, Jr., Commissioner of Internal Reve nue, explained today that taxpayers whose 1944 Income was less than $5,000 have a choice of three different ways of filing their 1944 income tax returns. Taxpayers whose income was $5,000 or more must all make “long-form” re turns on Form 1040. The three methods open to persons whose income was under $5,000 are as follows; 1. Fill out the Withholding Receipt, Form W-2 (Rev.), received from their employers. 2. Make a “short-form” return on Form 1040. 3. Make a “long-form’ return on Form 1040, The easiest way to file is to fill out and mail in a With holding Receipt, but this method is permitted only if the taxpayer’s income was virtually all from wages from which tax was withheld. If, In addition to his wages subject to withholding, a taxpayer had more than,$100 of dividends, interest and wages not subject to withholding, or he had any Income from any. other source, he would have to use Form 1040. If the Withholding Receipt is used, the col lector will figure the tax and give the taxpayer credit for the tax he has already paid, and send either a bill or a refund for the difference. If Form 1040 is used, the tax payer must figure his own tax. In choo.sing which form tp use (for incomes under $5,000;, Nunan said taxpayers should ask themselves this question: “Did I spend more than 10 per cent of my Income last year for decluctlble charitable contributions, interest, taxes, casually losses, medical an^ dental expenses, and other deductible Items?» If the wiiwer to thli qiieitlon i« “ye«,” the tiuliAjer should make • "long*form” return on Form 1040, so that he can Itemize and claim the actual amount of his deduc tions. If the answer is "no”, the taxpayer should consider filing on his Withholding Receipt or on a “short-form” Form 1040. Both these methods of filing give the tax payer a stwdard allowance of about 10 per cent of his Income for the type of deductions mentioned In Question 2, The 10 per cent allowance is made throujsh a tax table. This tax table is arranged according to brackets of income: for instance, one line in the table Is for incomes from $2,300 to $2,335, another line is for incomes from $2,325 to $2,350, and so, on, Ntman explained that the 10 per cent standard allowance is figured at the middle of each bracket, and therefore the allowance is somewhat less than 10 per cent below the middle of the bracket and somewhat higher than 10 per cent above the middle of the bracket. " In most cases, Nunan commented, taxpayers spend far less than 10 per cent of their income for deductible items, and therefore such taxpayers will benefit by filing either a Withholding Receipt or a short-form return on Form 1040. Nunan added that persons who had more than one job during 1944 and wish to file on a Withholding Receipt need to fill out only the last receipt received, but should be sure to attach all their other Withholding Receipts. Also, the collector explained that if wage earners file Form 1040, they need not fill out their Withholding Re ceipts but must attach their receipts to their Form 1040 returns. Price Regulation. Where specific area ceiling orders have been issued by OPA field offices, these will apply. Here tofore farm sales of firewood when valued at less than $75 in any one month have been exempt from price control. OPA states that this exemption has led to exorbitant prices in some areas. HOUSING HELD MAJOR PROSPERITY KEY The nation’s housing goals—a decent home in a good neighborhood for every American family—should be ach ieved in the ^st-yar era by maximum reliance upon pri vate enterprise and local commimities, and a full housing program can make a large contribution to an expanded peacetime economy, are thoughtis publicly expressed by John Blandford, Jr., Administrator of the National Hous ing Agency. He said that probably the biggest challenge to a broad housing market after the war is the fact that millions of self-supporting families who want new homes cannot afford them at present or past prices or under existing financial arrangements. He declared that this called for the closest sort of cooperation between labor, private business and government. RESEARCH FINDS USES FOR FARM BY-PRODUCTS Use of farm and sawmill by-products and commer cially unused fibers such as low-cost cement bonded light weight building materials, will be possible as a result of research carried oh by the Department of Engineering Researcn of the University of Michigan under contract with the Office of Production Research, and Development of the War Production Board. * A report has been filed with WPB on the development and tests of 225 different types of lightweight materials, Including farm, forest, in dustrial and home wastes, which, when combined with cement or concrete to produce hard setting aggregates or compositions. Some of the developments cover a wide variety of construction uses. Interested persons can in quire about how to obtain the information by writing to the Office of Production Research and Development, War Production Board, Washington 25, D. C. CANNED POULTRY SET ASIDE FOR MILITARY NEEDS The War Food Administration announces that effec tive this week (February 14) an order has been issued to set aside 100 per cent of the canned poultry (chickens and turkeys) in a move to supply United States military de mands for approximately 70,000,000 pounds of these prod ucts in 1945. The poultry meat is needed for hospitals, army field rations and for' shipment overseas. Prepara tion of the total quantity will require the processing of between 200 and 250 million pounds of New York style dressed chicken and turkey and practically the full use of all available poxiltry eviscerating and canning facilities in the United States. MATERIAL AID FOR FARM EQUIPMENT PLANTS To help compensate for production lags in many items of farm, machinery, plants that are not running at full capacity and have necessary labor available may apply to the War Production Board for authorization to make more then their approved quotas of farm equipment, WPB announces.

TOWN OFFICIALS BUY BAIT TO KILL RATS; PUNSCOMPLETE The Rat Killing Compaign is progressing in a satisfactory manner. There are fourteen dif ferent community centers that are taking orders for the bait. A list can be found in an ad vertisement on page 2. Oeorge Hobson, county agent, stated today that all' arrange ments had been made for the ^ materials to be used in mixing ^ the bait, and he hopes that the farmers of the county will real ize the damage being done by rats, and will join In this cam paign by placing their orders for the bait before March 1. After the orders are tabulated the fish will be ordered, and it is ex pected the bait will 1)6 prepared on March 6, and delivered to the centers on March 7. However, every farmer placing an order will be notified by mail the ex act date to go to his nearest ' place to receive the bait he has ordered. If this campaign is lo be fully successful it will be necessary that the majority oi the people having rats on their premises to join in and place their orders. and when the material is re ceived, everybody put it out the same night. The poison used in the bait is Red Squill, which is harmless to all animals, with the exception of the rodent family, of which rats’and mice belong. TOWN BUYS BAIT The town officials of Mocks ville met Monday afternoon, and decided to purchase enough bait for the entire town. A crew trained by L. C. Whitehead, Ro dent Contro'. Specialist from State college, will distribute the bait to all residents and business houses In the tfjwn. The cost of the rat drive In Mocksville Is to be paid for from town funds. In this manner, blanket coverage will be obtained, and should go a long way in decreasing the rat population in Mocksville. This foresighted movement by the town board will undoubted ly save the residents several thousand dollars of destruction caused by rats, and will also help eradicate the potential Ty phus Fever carrier.

Highlights of this week’s war news are; American invasion of Iwo Jima, strategic 8-mile square island 750 miles from Tokyo. American carrier-based attack on the Japanese home land. Mounting pressure against the Nazis in the west. Advance of Russians into Ouben 51 miles south of Berlin where German counterattacks have been encounter ed and massing of Zhukov’s men in the center in front of Berlin. Heavy air attacks by the Allies on German cities in the west. Predictions that the Germans .will launch a heavy countej offensive, perhaps the last of the war, in the east sometime this month. IWO JIMA INVADED It nas been expected for sometime that Iwo Jima would be invaded, since it was bombed for nearly 70 days. This tiny island affords the Japs two airfields from which tliey can intercept our fliers in attacks on the Jap home land, as well as our bases in the Marianas. The Japs are fighting from caves and it may be harder to take the island than it was at Tarawa. PLANES ATTACK TOKYO In a bold assault on Tokyo-Yokohoma airfields and plane factories last Friday and Saturday by carrier-based planes whicli took off only 300 miles from Tokyo, Admiral Nimitz announced that 509 Jap planes had been destroy ed or damaged and that there was much damage of plane factories in the area. The Jap navy did not come out to fight. - B-29s continued~the-attack _otL.Tokyo_jon Monday, of this week. T«kyo screamed that an American invasion of the mainland might be near. The chief of staff of the Chinese army estimates that the Japs have thrown 50 divisions, or two-fifths of their army, on the Chinese mainland to pre vent any American landing on the Chinese coast. CORREGIDOR AND BATAAN Gen, MacArthur’s men have taken most of Corregidor and Bataan and our troops are now engaged in mopping up remnants of the Jap defenders behind their own gun batteries. They have also taken Fort McKinley, one of the two forts of Manila. The Japs have made a bloody stand in Manila and have wantonly destroyed property and lives, as well as abducting Americah oflicials in the Santo Tomas internment camp before it was liberated. FIGHTING IN THE EAST Just why the German armies did not prevent the Rus sians from reaching and crossing the Oder river at cer tain points still remains to be known. Observers thinlc now,-however, that the German final stand in the east is bound to come soon, probably this month. They point out that the thaw on the eastern front will set in this month which will handicap the Russteni; in receiving sup plies and help the Germans because of the good roads and short communications. The Yalta decisions are thought to have convinced the German generals that they can have no hope of ditching Hitler and getting more favorable peace terms and consequently -will, fight to the bitter end. All Gennan broadcasters are taking- the line that the only way out is to die with honor and they warn that Hitler has not yet played his last card. Some have re vived the possibility that this may mean poison gas. FIGHTING IN THE WEST Ma.ny think that Gen, Isenhower is getting ready to mount his all-out offensive In the west Steady pressue continues, with small advances, by' Ihe Third army, U. B.

GIVE TO YOUR RED GROSS Ministers Adopt McMurray Resolution The following resolution has been adopted by the Mocksville Ministerial association: "The members of the Mocks- vllle'Ministerial association have learned with deep regret that one of our members, the Rev. John A. MuMurray. pastor of the local Presbyterian church will soon go to another charge. Dur ing his stay among us he has proved himself to be a Brother Beloved. Not only has he been interested In the work of his own church but ho has also been In terested In all phases of the work In the community. He has been cooperative In spirit and it has been a real pleasure to work with him. All of his work In the community has been helpful but that with the Boy Scouts and especially those too young to be regular Scouts, has been out standing. "While wd are sorry to lose him yet we do congratulate the church to which he is going on securing the services of such an efficient' minister and we pray Our Father’s blessings upon him in his new field of labor.” NO TROUBLE WITH RATIONING POINTS Farm Security homemakers have no trouble with rationing points since they use only a few during the year. “Llve-at-hbme” to help their boys on the fight ing front is their goal, which has been successfully reached this year. Of the seventy-two families in Davie county they have canned a total of 32,300 quarts of fruits, vegetables and meats for home use. In addition to these foods they have stored and dried ap proximately 800 buahels of vege tables. Most families have an adequate supply of hog meat and many of them for the first time have canned beef for family use. Good health through proper nutrition Is being obtained by these homemakers. Each family has approximately 453 quarts of vegetables, fruits, tomatoes and meat for the long winter months. With the help of the F8A over 45 of these families have purchased pressure cookers to aid them with their conservation program. These women have answered their government’s call for con servation on the home front and are to be congratulated on the excellent Job they have done In fighting on the home front. They not only have produced and con served the- necessary food for their families but they have been called upon to do many Jobs on the farm to replace the men who have gone to war. Miss Sarah Groce Passed Sunday Miss Sarah K. Oroce, 95, died last Sunday morning at the home of the Rev. J. M. Oroce. She had no Immediate survivors.

This Is a practice that will promote more growth. It Is Just as Important to thin trees as It Is to thin butterbeans or any other crop that Is too thick, W. H. Hobson, realtor at Sal isbury, has really Improved a poor farm he bought 13 years ago. near Greasy Corner. He built terraces first, applied lime and sowed sweet clover In 1942. Last year the crop of pain was good on this land that grew only nub bins of corn In 1941. The cotton grown on part of this farm did not have over 3 boles on any stalk. This Is another good ex ample ot how soil conservation work pays. Bud Broadway, Mr. Habson’s farmer, is making preparation to sow some pasture grasses and serlcea for grazing. He will sow the serlcea on the hillside which Is too poor and dry for grasses.

Freedom Of The Press We believe in ‘freedom of the press, but we also believe that along with that freedom goes a responsibility to print, the news without ffty» to any group, or to any persons. The printing of news should be fair to all persons, and to all groups. We are not setting out to make wholesale charges of discrimlnaitons, but there is frequently such silence in certain directions that it is difficult to escape the conviction that news from certain areas is purposely withheld. With many pronouncements and actions of or ganized labor we are not wholly in accord, but strike« and other offenses of labor have received a disproportionate publicity in the press. The failure to give due publicity to the activities of certain big business interests, whose tie-up with German business interest deeply effected our presecution of the war was an abuse of freedom of the press. Likewise, the failure to report certain activities of one great religious .communion lends credence to the fre quent charge that the A. P. is afraid to offend that par ticular Church. That those activities are of a political nature is beyond question, and as such deeply effect the thought and life of America.. Freedom of the Press in volves freedom from the influences of particular groups as well as freedom from governmental interference. SOM^ FUN! ^ S U R E .X G E T ALONG O N OUR 8 НОБ COUPONS!*^ The Work Or Fight Bill By the time this is in print the final action may betaken on the Work or Fight Bill. At the moment It seems doubtful that it will be passed. In a recent Town Hall Meeting we heard a discussion of the bill, in which proponents of both sides had the opportunity to be heard. Against a Congressman, who had opportunity to study the whole situation on the battlefield, and on the pro duction front, there was a labor leader who made strenous objections to it.. The congressman was factual; the labor leader ortortical. It is on unquestioned fact that the vast majority of workers in America have done a grand job, and have shown as much patriotism and made-as many sacrifices as any other gi'oup of Americans. But the fact remains that we are not yet producing enough, and that the army needs are critical. For many years some of us have fought against special privileges to any group,'and we, do not believe t hat Labor should ask for special privi- legse. We have drafted the flower of American manhood, and sent them to the front. They have gone on without questioning, and many have made the supreme sacrifice. The rest of the civilian population have no right to claim exemption from any service which they can render. The military leaders tell us t hat the Work or Fight Bill is a necessity in order to fully utilize our man power. Our enemies are fighting a total war, and if we want freedom from tyrany we shall have to meet our enemies with total warfare. No man, no group of persons, should claim special privileges. Each man should serve wherever he is fitted to serve.

MORE ABOUT WAR NEWS Seventh and the Scots have almost taken Ooch In the Siegfried line. Marshal Montgomery said the Allies have now brought the war against Germany to Its final stage, that the forces in the west were ready for the last round. CIVILIANS AT WAR The Government needs and asks Its citizens In this 108th week of the war to: 1. Hold series "A” bonds (the “baby bonds” that went on sale in 1935) and reinvest the proceeds when they be gin maturing March 1. War Bonds offer the same Interest $4 for every $3 invested. 2. Look for dollar-and-cents price ceilings posted in your shoe repair Shop. Such services are now under OPA price control. 3. Place specific orders now for fertilizers and insecti cides fbr farms and Victory Gardens. Transportation and manpower shortages may seriously delay deliveries. 4. Use V-Mail and help share overseas cargo apace. Ship ments of whole blood and typus vaccine urgently need the plane facilities V-Mail will save. TAX EXEMPTIONS EXPLAINED In response to numerous inquiries arising from new provisions of the individual Income tax law relating to ex emptions for husbands and wives, and the income of minors, Joseph D. Nunan, Jr., Commissioner of Internal Revenue, made the following statement today: “HUSBAND AND WIFE EXEMPTIONS—The new law requires that if a husband and wife file separate retiums, each must take his own exemptions on. his or her own return. Both exemptions can be claimed on the same re turn only if (a) they file a joint return, or (b) if one of them had no taxable income and was not the dependent of another taxpayer. In applying this rule to wives of men in the armed forces, it should be borne in mind that the tax laws exempt and disregard the first $1,500 of active вит (N OUK KRSONAL LIVINO« THI TIME TO SUILD OUR FCNCBS IS WHIN WK MM M tlU T AND OUR BARNINeS ARE HI6H.

A paratrooper on furlough was asked how many jumps he had service pay received each year by a member of the armed forces. The result is that most members of the armed forces have no taxable income, in which case their exemptions can be claimed by their wives. “INCOME OF MINORS-The new law provides that the earnings of children shall be considered to belong to the children, and not to their parents, for purposes of the federal Income tax. As a result, minors who had $500 or more income last year must file income tax returns the same as adults. Therefore, parents need no longer include in their own income tax returns the earnings of their children. ' Ф “INCOME UNDER $500—Persons whose Income last year was less than $500 are not required to file income tax returns, but frequently will find it advisable to file. In case of a single persons who had less than $500 income from which tax was withheld, the filing of a return will bring a refund of the tax which was withheld. In the case of a married person who had less than $500 income, whether or not any tax was withheld from it, the person should file a joint or combined return with her husband (or his wife) so as to get the full benefit of their exemptions.” HOUSEHOLD FATS TO RESCUE Homemakers of towns and farm again are asked by the War Food Administration to come to the rescue of a wartime program- WFA states that it is looking largely to the people in agricultural areas to increase the quantity of salvaged fats this year to the 250,000,000 pounds needed to meet United States military, industrial and civilian requirements. Last year housewives turned in 170,000,000 pounds. M. L. Wilson, director of the Extension Service, has called upon all State directors of the service to enlist the aid of their field forces in helping to speed the drive for used fats turned in from rural areas. WFA advises and asks all housewives to keep a tin can in a handy sppt in which to pour used cooking fats. ^ When the can is full the fats—can and all—sh o u ld " be taken to the local market where the butcher or grocer will pay two red points and up to four cents a pound for every pound turned in. Salvaged fats are used to help make munitions, medicines, synthetic rubber, mlUtary and civil ian soaps, liarachutes and a score of other wartime necessi ties. ' “TIME TO TIME” FOOD SHORTAGES Civilians may continue to expect food shortages, “from time to tipie” as a result of multiplying military and Lend- Lease needs, but these shortages will not be serious if farm ers repeat their record productivity and if Americans plant Victory Gardens and do as much home canning as possible, Marvin Jones, War Food Administrator, declares. “There is need for all of the meat and milk and vegetables and grains and dozens of other foods that the nation’s farmers can produce,” Jones said. ‘Farmers are being asked to plant more acires to crpps this year. Farmers and their wives as well as older people and children on farms are working to the limit of their' ability, and the help of city and townspeople will be needed in addition to meet this year’s needs.” He said the surest way to assure a full supply of fruit and vegetables for home use is to grow a garden, and do as much home canning as possible.

Pfc. and Mrs. Leroy bulln and FARM QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED Question; What kind of to bacco should I use where I had about IS to 20 per cent damage from Granville wilt last year? Answer: E G. Moss of the Tobbaco Branch Experiment sta tion at Oxford, recommends that your tobacco be planted on different land this year and that you mai'.e arrangements to get some seeii of the Oxford 26 strain for next year. At this late date all certified Oxford 20 seed have been sold. Land that show ed 15 to 20 per cent damage last year should be planted in the wilt resistant strain. Question: Should I build col umns at the entrance to the drive leading to mv home? Answer: Such evergreen trees as magnolia or American holly, with a few shrubs, will be more suitable than columns, Is a sug gestion from John Harris, horti cultural extension specialist at State college. For trees along the driveway, he suggests dogwood rather than crape myrtle, as the dogwood will be hardier and less susceptible to disease, Harris also suggests that it will be well to have eve.-y other tree an evergreen and that the native cedar can be used. This will give a more attractive avenue dur ing the winter months. Harris notes that the trees should be about 30 feet apart. Question: Is seed appearance of any value in choosing a corn hybrid? Answer; No, says Dr, R, P, Moore of the Agricultural Exper iment station at State college. The chief point in selecting corn hybrid seed Is that the strain is well adapted to local condi tions, The State Department of Agriculture requires, by law, that all corn hybrids to be sold In various sections In 1044. This testing program helps to protect growers in the purchase of their seed because there are great dif ferences in the adaptability of corn hybrids.
