Pleas M. Sawyer, Revenue Agent in Charge, Guilford Building, Greens boro, North Carolina, announced to day. This drive is being conducted in co operation with the United States Civil Service Commission. Preference will be given discharged servicemen in all cases. Others'will be employed to the extent that qualified service men cannot be obtained. The revenue agents’ positions will pay $2,980, $3,640, $4,300 and $5,180 a year, depending upon education and experience. For the lowest grade position, completion of an acceptable accounting course can qualify an ap plicant. For the higher positions re sponsible experience in accounting is required. So far as possible, agents will be given work in their home areas. There are also openings for special agents and for deputy collectors. Special agents are being recruited at starting salaries of $2,980 and $3,640. The qualifications required for spec ial agents are similar to those requir ed for revenue agents, except that investigative and legal training and experience can be substituted for ac counting. Positions for deputy collec tors, at $2,320 per year, are available for applicants whose business exper ience or training does not qualify them for revenue agent or special agent. The new personnel is required to carry on the Treasury Department’s intensified campaign against tax evasion. j Secretary of the [Treasury Fred M. Vinson hasi directe|,,vigorous steps to recruitment drive his express appro val, stating-; “I am thoroughly in sympathy .with the plan to enlarge the Bureau of In ternal Revenue forces to whatever ex tent is required to insure full com pliance with the law.” Secretary Vinson has impressed upon the Bureau of Internal Revenue Agents the importance of obtaining men of good character in building up the investigative force. In this con nection he said recently: “This will be no gestapo. It will be a taxpayers’ law enforcement group, protecting the government’s interest in taxes, and at the same time pro tecting the honest taxpayer against the black market operator, the racket- er and every other kind of tax eva der. And it will be good business too. We expect to collect twenty dollars for every one spent.” Applications for positions may be made to any office of the Ci-vil Serv ice Commission, to any Bureau of In ternal Revenue office, or to the Di rector of Personnel, Treasury De partment, Washington, 25, D. C. Spe cial arrangements are available for giving information to sendcemen at discharge centers. Cherry Comments On Institute “In a desire to call attention to the usefulness of the current issue of Popular Government, Published at Chapel Hill by the Institute of Gov ernment, Albert Coates, Director, I wish to point out that this publication is rendering a splendid type of pub lic service to the state and its people. This is in keeping with the fine rec ord of the organzation. “The current issue, containing 64 pages, presents a comprehensive and careful study of all the bills and reso lutions of the 1945 North Carolina Legislature. 'The arrangement of this material makes the information read ily available to those who wish to use it. The Institute staff, under Director Coates, has done such a complete job that I feel moved to express my per sonal and official appreciation. “I understand that each city and county official in North Carolina—to taling some 7,600—has been mailed a copy of this issue of Popular Govern ment. I urge that these local govern ment officials use the magazine to ac quaint themselves with legislative changes affecting their powers and duties. I would also like to suggest that this copy of the magazine be pre served for use during the coming months as a ready: reference and guide to the session laws " Joseph G. Wiggs Returning With 17th Airhome Division 'With the 17th Airborne Division, ^2. — S-Sgt. Joseph G. Wiggs, a«ive in the United States shortly with the 17th Airborne Division when the division, representing the Airborne veterans of the European Theater of operations, returns home for deactivation. S-Sgt. Wiggs is a member'of the 607th Para-Reg’t. He ser’/ed as a Communication sergeant in the 507th Para-Reg’t. and is qualified parachu tist. He participated in the following campaigns: Normandy, Central Ger many, Ardennes, Rhineland, and wears the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Combat Infantryman’s Badge, Presi dential Citation and Invasion Arrow head. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. O. Wiggs live at Pine Level, N. C. The 17th Airborne Division is now composed of high point men from all the fighting airborne units in the European Theater. Although no one unit nor any idividual took part in all the airborne operations the composite membership of the present 17th h«# taken part in each one, including those of North Africa, Sicily, Italy, Southern France, Normandy, Holland and across the Rhine in Germany. The original 17th, which wears the golden eagle claw insignia and is commanded by Major General Wil liam M. Miley, trained at Camp Mackall, N. C., and Camp Forrest, Tenn., and arrived in England last summer. It was rushed by air to the continent last winter to help stop the German drive in the Battle of Bulge later helped push the Nazis back to their Siegfried Line defenses. After the Ardennes and Rhihland Cam paigns, the 17th spearheaded the Battle of Central Europe b.y dropping! across the Rhine and later helping clear out the Ruhr pocket. During this campaign it captured Franz 'Von Papen, German diplomat now await ing trial as a war criminal. ®1uch Wilt Found In Sweet Potato Fields A large amount of wilt is being found in sweet potato fields this year, says Dr. Landis Bennett, in charge of seed certification at State College and secreta'ry of the N. C. Crop Im provement Association. Wilt occurs in the sweet potato seed stocks. It can also be produced by planting potatoes in soil that is infected with wilt. This wilt has been known to live for 10 to 15 years in the soil. Disease-free seed planted in disease-free soil is the answer to this problem, says Howard Garriss, Ex tension plant pathologist at State College. This fall Dr. Bennett will examine certified stocks in storage for any signs of black rot, scurf, soft rot, and other such diseases. Black rot gives the potato a bitter taste. Gar riss recommends seed treatment and rotation of soils. For scurf, treat seed and don’t use any stable manure in the fertilization of the crop. For soft rot, clean and disinfect the gweet potato curing house and the forage house. Handle potatoes care fully so as not to skin them. Cure as quickly as possible. J. Y. Lassiter, Extension horti culturist, and Hazel Meacham, mar keting specialist, say that as compe tition becomes keener in the sweet potato markets, growers must be mpre careful in growing the right kind of potatoes; properly grade, cure and store them; and reduce produc tion costs. Presbyterian Auxiliary Holds Meeting The Auxiliary of the Presbyterian church met Monday afternoon, Sep tember 3rd in the home of Mrs. Alice Hood with Mrs. Hattie McMillan as joint hostess.
