Little Time Left At this time of year county and city officials are con cerned about .payment of taxes and, as usual, there are quite a few of us who have not paid their 1951 taxes. (Incidentally, there are some who still owe for other years’ taxes). At the beginning of each fiscal year both groups of officials make up a budget which is based al most entirely on payment of taxes, so that when taxes are not paid there is some difficulty in making both ends meet in county and city fiscal affairs. Then there is another angle to be considered. It just isn’t fair for some people to lay out money for their tax es while another group disregards this duty, going on for years using money which rightfully belongs to the town or county, using, in a sense, the town, and county as a borrowing agency. As provided by law, the names of all delinquent 1951 taxpayers will be published, those owing county taxes on the first Monday in May and town delinquents the sec ond Monday in May. If this does not result in. payment of taxes, the property involved will be sold the first and second Mondays in June respectively. In either event an extra charge will be made so that unnecessary money will have to be paid by the taxpayer. Officials regret to resort to this method to secure tax es, but there is always a group who hesitate to pay taxes until they are virtually compelled to do so. Names and amount of taxes due will appear in The Herald the first weeks in May and the only way to prevent this em barrassment and added expense is to pay taxes before that date. Needless to say, county and town officials need all of the taxes due. How Lucky Are You? How lucky are you? One good way to find out is by studying the 1951 story of traffic accidents in the United States just published by The Travelers Insurance Companies of Hartford, Conn. This latest edition of their annual series is called, ap propriately enough, “Lucky You.” They make the point with facts and figures that if you were not involved in a serious auto accident last year, you are indeed lucky. If you are a speeder, for example, the 1951 record will show you how lucky you are to be alive and well. Nearly 14,000 persons were killed and more than half a million were injured last year by drivers who were exceeding the speed limit. One out of every three drivers involved in 1951’s serious accidents was speeding. Last year, as in 1950 and previous years, excessive speed was far and away the most dangerous mistake in driving. How lucky will you be this year? The most satisfying thing in life is to be able to help some deserving person. NOW ‘Better Control of 1 ROOTWORM 1 ON PEANUTS -at low cost _jj Now—with oldrln— you can step aauthera corn rcut worms on peanuts before they damage your crops. This powerful worm-killer is ideal far heavy soil where root worms do the most damage. Virginia growers prove atdrin boosts peanut yields— A Surry County grower jumped his yield from 1,730 te 2,110 pounds per acre. These 380 extra pounds of better peanuts brought $65 more profit per acre! i A Nansemond County grower used aldrin and got back 973 extra pounds of peanuts per acre from heavy eoiM His yield went from 1,617 pounds on untreated land to 2,590 on aldrin-treated land. In dollars, that meant $172 more profit per acre. Just two pounds es aldrin are required per acre and aldrin’s cost is osiy a small fraction • of the increased profit it brings! f I *,A aldrin © ik • SHELL CHEMICAL CORPORATION J~*' W 500 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW VOW M, N.

Heard & Seen By “Buff” Miss Goldie Layton called my hand after she read last week’s Herald, which carried a story saying Mrs. IBommie White was the first woman to handle life insurance in this area. 'As a matter of fact, Mrs. White is the second woman, for Miss Layton has represented the Farm Bur eau Mutual Insurance Company, which handles life insur ance, automobile insurance, workmen’s compensation, burglary and robbery and fire insurance. I should have known, too, for Miss Layton occasionally jacks me up when I forget to send in an insurance premium. Harry Crummey had an odd experience the other morn ing when his place of business was stolen. Harry rushed over to Plymouth to drive a Norfolk Southern bus on a regular schedule, but upon his arrival the bloomin’ bus was missing. It developed that during the night some scudder swiped the bus and it was later found in a ditch between Plymouth and Williamston. The guy who stole the bus must have wanted plenty of room, both in the bus and on the highway. I learned the other day that Major Ted Boutwell and Lieutenant Jim Ratigan are stationed near each other in Korea. Lieut. Ratigan has been receiving his Herald regularly, but I’ve never changed' the address for Major Boutwell. As a result Major Boutwell visits liieut. Rati gan regularly once a week for the express purpose of reading what they call the “local scoop sheet.” Lieut. Ratigan was stationed in Edenton and married the form er Miss Josephine Boone, a nurse at Chowan Hospital. Major Boutwell’s wife is the former Miss Fontaine Pet tus. Incidentally, Major Boutwell says the Red Cross is doing a bang-up job in Korea and deserves the support of folks back home. So far as the Methodist Church is concerned, the front pews got a dusting-off Sunday morning, when the church ] ■was filled. Os course, the same, no doubt, was true in other churches, for some people made their annua) trip j to church on Easter morning. They should be given a ! medal or something for the weather was ideal and some j of ’em, I expect, dropped as much as a dime in the col | lection plate. What would the churches do without these once or twice a year church-goers. o ■ Members of the Degree of Pocahontas will have a cov ered dish supper Friday night when two top-ranking Po- ' cahontas officials will visit the local Council in the Red j Men’s hall. It’s a case of wondering what a guv will i get to eat, but usually there’s a variety of food and well prepared at such affairs. Here’s hoping everyone does 1 not bring baked beans. —— o i A card with some timely advice reached my desk one 1 day this week. On it was printed the title, “Sing While j You Drive,” with the following suggestions: At 45 miles per hour, sing “Highways Are Happy Ways.” At 55 miles per hour, sing “I’m But A Stranger Here, Heaven Is My Home.” At C 5 miles per hour, sing “Nearer My God To Thee.” At 75 miles per hour, sing “When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder. I’ll Be There.” At 85 miles per hour, sing “Lord, I’m Coming Home.” -- The weatherman cooperated 100 per cent on Easter, so that the fair sex had a splendid opportunity to ap- ' pear in their Easter finery. Then on Monday the weather j man also cooperated with the fishermen, for according j to the looks of things in the various creeks, everybody and his brother went fishing on Easter Monday—that is J everybody except Mrs. Harry Crummey. The only rea- i son she didn’t go was because she couldn’t get any bait. I And that’s the trouble these days when fish are biting. 1. To get maximum benefits with aldrin, spray before planting or before Jime Vi. After spraying aMbm, harrow the sod. 2. Spray after plants ara up, just prior to culti vation. Uae any standard spraying equipment— eves an ordinary weed-sprayer. The low concen tration of aldrin used means less clogging of spray nozzles. T.«nH treated with aldrin produces a better pea uat crop with highw quality. And that, of course, means more profit to you. Ask your county agent mkout this rootworm-kUting insecticide. High Pocahontas Officials Guests Os Chowanoke Council Covered Dish Supper to Be Served In Red Men Hall Friday Night Two prominent members of the De gree of Pocahontas will visit Chowa noke Council No. 54, Friday night, when Mrs. Gladys Wynn of Washing ton, Great Pocahontas of North Caro lina and Mrs. Cynthia Aldridge of Vanceboro, reservation deputy of the Great Incohonee of the United States will be special guests. Members of the local Council will stage a covered dish supper with each one attending expected to bring a dish of food. The supper will begin at 7 o’clock in the hall, after which the Council will hold its semi-monthly meeting. Mrs. Elsie Lee is Rocahontas of the Council and for this occasion asks every member to attend the meeting.
