They favor send ing most of our new tanks to Britain for the present, and Beaverbrook's mission is to clinch that argument British Need. The British need for tanks, par ticularly for the latest type, 32-ton medium tanks, is extremely urgent It was lack of these that caused the rout In Greece and prevents the British from taking the offensive in Libya and on the continent Also, without medium tanks the British would be in desperate straits should Hitler make his feared overland i move into Spain and Portugal, across the Strait of Gibraltar and down the Atlantic coast of French West Africa to Dakar. Thanks to the U. S., the British are well supplied with light 12-ton tanks. So far they have received about 500, together with spare parts. These light tanks have given a good account of themselves. They are superior to similar German and Italian types. But mounting only 50-caliber guns and lightly armored, they are no match, as Greece and Libya have proved, for medium Axis tanks. STEEL SHOWDOWN The OPM and the steel industry finally have taken drastic steps to regulate supplies and increase ca pacity, but it took all kinds of nag ging by the government to get them to do it. One of the most spectacular of these nagging sessions took place in the OPM board room recently and was attended by Eugene Grace of Bethlehem Steel; Tom Girdler of Republic; Ernest Weir of Weir ton; Irving Olds, new head of U. S. Steel, together with Ed Stettinius, the old head; Leon Henderson; Knudsen; and representatives from the army, navy and maritime com mission. The steel manufacturers immedi ately put the government represent atives on the defensive with the ques tion: "Well, what do you want us to do? Cut off all steel to the con sumer?" Price Administrator Henderson re plied that such a curtailment would be disastrous, that steel to the con sumer could not be cut off right away. Other government represent atives hemmed and hawed. So did the ship-builders. The meeting got nowhere. Finally Admiral Emory Land, rel ative of ex-Colonel Lindbergh, but no believer in his views, got up. Land, chairman of the maritime commission, is a close friend of Bethlehem's Eugene Grace. But looking at Grace and the other steel manufacturers, the admiral gave them a dressing down he might have given to his own sailors. "I've been listening to you for two hours," he said, "and I'm fed up with it. I don't know what the fault is, or whose fault it is. But I do know that the shipyards are four to six weeks behind because they haven't got steel. And I also know that if you fellows want to, you can correct that shortage. "You've been talking about ex panding your plants. Now if you mean business, instead of talking about itr expand." Next day the steel manufacturers announced their plan to build new factories and expand production. CAPITAL CHAFF White House press secretary Steve Early kept it to himself, but pri vately he was sore at the bungling of Churchill-Roosevelt press rela tions. If they had left it to him, the result would have been different. American editors resented the fact that first news of the meeting broke in London. A lot of other Ameri cans resented the idea that news about their own President had to come via the British censor. Roose velt himself, not the British, was to blame. BIKE RIDERS MEET SUDDEN DEATH IN N.C. More bicycle riders were killed in North Caroina the first seven months of this year than were killed during the entire twelve months oi last year, the Highway saf ety Division reported this week. Accident records show that 25 bicycle riders met with death on the streets and highways of this state from January through July of this year, an 80 per cent in crease over the 14 cyclists killed the first seven months of 1940 and a 25 per cent increase over the to tal of 20 cyclists killed all last, year. A majority of the riders killed were boys, and most of them were killed because of violations of the rules of safe riding. Warning that bicycles are class ed as vehicles under the State law, and that cyclists must obey the same general traffic regulation that apply to motor vehicles, Konal Hocutt,' director of the Highway Safety Division, listed the follow ing 12 rules for bicycling with com plete safety: 1. Refrain from "clever" or "stunt" riding. 2. Dismount and walk across dangerous intersections. 3. Kep to the right and close to the edge of the roadway. 4. Learners should ride in a WINCHELL (Continued from Page 1) paper. And talking of up-to-date news, the French "La Presse Prophetique" was published for the purpose of giving the news of next year. It was not a success because it was published in hieroglyphics. When the newspaper business was in its infancy, the reporter was called "an emissary," the editor "a register." "The Romios" of Athens is a daily paper published in verse. The co-ordinated German news papers have recently discarded question marks from their headlines, because one editor of Essen, Ger many, was sent to a concentration camp. By mistake the headline "Hindenburg Congratulates Hitler," was provided with a question mark instead of an exclamation point Suicides are banned from Turkish newspapers. When I used a picture of the em peror of Japan in my Believe It or Not cartoon, the Japanese ambassa dor in Washington made a very ur gent telephone call to me. He re quested that if a picture of the em peror must be used, then it was of the highest importance that this pic ture be printed on the front page of the newspaper, because it is a Jap anese law that nothing must appear over the Supreme Portrait of the Son of Heaven. I explained to him as gently as I could that this rule cannot be followed in America. His Excel lency thought for a minute, and then he suggested that I place over the cartoon a printed admonition to the American public not to set down any objects such as drinking glasses, pots and pans, etc., on the picture! He was greatly disappoint ed when I explained that the Amer ican public will not be restrained by any such printed admonition. The Japanese newspapers carry on their staff a special employee called the "prison editor." He is paid a salary for taking the rap in case the newspaper is fined or sen tenced to jail. In such a case the prison editor (whipping boy) goes to jail without interrupting the even tenor of the newspaper. The Japanese press law provides jail for the offense of "belly trea son" another word for "secret dis loyalty" of the paper. Aglalt Ulunanortut (Pages for Everybody) is the title of the Es kimo newspaper published at Nain, Labrador. It is published in the winter only, because in the summer its readers have no time to read, be ing busy with seal and fishing. The oldest newspaper was recent ly discovered in Ostia, Italy. It was published in 58 B. C, was engraved in wax upon stone and contained the following news items: (Date) 7 days before the calends of August (July 24). In the land of Cumo born 30 boys and 40 girls. Harvested 500,000 loads of wheat. Supplied 500 labor steers. Crucified the slave Mithridates for having blasphemed against the rrir its of his Master. Repaid 10,000,000 sesterces for which there is no need. The real father of newspapers was Julius Caesar, who instituted the famous "Acta Publica," which ran for six centuries. And so it is in order that Italy should be the first to modernize her newspaper business by introducing the "push-button press," which brings all Italian newspapers totally under the domination of the Italian Press and Propaganda Ministry. The Germans copied that system with its minister of propaganda and public enlightenment under the fa mous Dr. Goebbels. park or other safe place. 5. Ride without wobbling; avoid sharp turns. 6. Say "No" to anyone desiring to ride as a passenger. 7. Never hitch onto a moving vehicle. 8. At night, carry a light m front and either a light or reflect or in the rear. 9. Stop for all stop signs. 10. If parcels are carried, strap them to the frame or place in a basket carrier. 11. Avoid crowded streets and heavily traveled highways. 12. Keep yourself and your bike in good condition. "If bicycle riders will obey those simple rules this business of one bicycle fatality every week will be stopped in North Carolina," Hocutt said. Successful Mrs. George Keener of the Buck Creek community in Macon Coun ty has netted $62 from 200 chick ens thus far this year, reports County Agent S. W. Mendenhall.

Negro Selectee At Camp Davis Makes Unusual Record CAMP DAVIS, Aug. 28 Less than five months ago James D. Tis dale, colored, was inducted into the army. Today he is a master sergeant. It's enough that Tisdale climbed the ladder from buck private to master sergeant in such a short time, but rapid promotion is not his chief claim of distinction. He is only 21 years old and is believed to be the youngest mas ter sergeant in the army. Promo tion to master sergeant,, which with exception of warrant officer is the highest rank available to en. listed men, usually follows years of service. Sergeant Tisdale's home is in Austin, Tex. He was called to ser vice' March 27, 1941, made serg eant July 9, and promoted to mas ter sergeant Aug. 1. He is now regimental sergeant major of the 54th Coast Artillery regiment at Camp Davis. His meteoric rise in the army was no fluke, because Tisdale at tended Tillotson College, where he majored in economics, and has had considerable experienc in book keeping. The 54th is a young organiza tion. It was activated at Camp Wallace, Tex., last February and moved to Camp Davis a short time later. Officers learned of Tis dale's previous training, gave him a trial, and his work merited the unur.ual promotions. FARMERS URGED TO HANDLE COTTON STAMPS WITH CARE Following the unfortunate burn ing of a farm home in North Car olina and the loss in the fire of AAA cotton stamps worth $50, E. Y. Floyd, state AAA executive as sistant at State College, urged far mers to observe every precaution against the possible loss, theft, or destruction of the stamps. Stamps which are lost, stolen, or defaced beyond identification will not be replaced, Mr. Floyd said. Defaced stamps which can be iden tified as legal stickers, will be re placed, however, it was added.

North Carolina State College officials didn't realize it at the time, but when they awarded certificates of meritorious service to three out standing agriculturists, by pure co incidence they taught one of the essentials for successful farming. J. W. Kiler of Anson County was recognized for his work in corn breeding, T. J. W. Broome for his service of 30 years as farm agent in Union County and for his promotion of lespedeza, and A. O. McEachern of New Hanover coun ty for developing fine dairy cattle. The work of these three men represents a complete program and cycle for successful agricul ture, according to A. C. Kimrcy, extension service specialist of N. C. State College. Explaining, he pointed out that Mi. Kikker developed corn which is the backbone of livestock feed ing. Mr. Broome promoted the use of lespedeza in North Carolina, representing hay and grazing, bt'th highly essential for success in dairying. Finally, Mr. McEachcvn .n his Fasten Carolina farm developed fine ''airy aninir.ls to consume all of these feeds, converting them into c:'.sh and good living foi farm pe:.!e. TnU- practical lesson micht b.' put-to good use in the State's rap idly expanding daily indus'.i'y, the Stati College specialist pointed out. Nit only is it a good lesson for the large dairyman, lie added, but for the family o.vning one cow. I lenty of home-grown feeds will aid in combatting rising rices, Kimiey went on, affor.ling larger margins on the sale of m;lk and othf-.r dairy products. Marines Returning To Quantico Base A shift in training groups at Camp Mitchell, at the city-county airport near New Bern took three squadrons of marines and their 50 planes back to Quantico, Va. Wed nesday of this week, it has been an nounced by Major T. J. Walker, senior officer at the camp. A maintenance detail will be left in charge of Capt. Ferry Reynolds, camp commander. The latter part of the week an other squadron from Quantico marine base is expected at New Bern with planes to carry on train ing. Subscribe to The Beaufort News. NO TAXES TAX COLLECTOR State Gains In Race For Poultry Honors RALEIGH, Aug. 28. North Carolina has moved inot 14th place among states in the numbe of chickens raised" on farms this year, helped by a 20 per;ent in crease over the past 10-year aver age, reports C. J. Maupin, exten sion poultryman of N. C. State College. This compares with a nation wide jump over the average for the past decade of anly 9 percent, according to figures just release , by the Agricultural Marketiii;; . Service of the U. S. Departmei... of Agriculture. A part of this large increase i i production for the State is due t the growing interest in commerr ' broiler production. Federal figures show North Carolina to be one the nine states now producing 5. 000,000 or more broilers annui.i. At the came time, Maupin sair', Tar Heel hens are laying more eggs. During July, it is estimate i that production hit 61,000,000, t; i increase of 3,000,000 eggs ov.;' the same month a year ago. Sim ilarly, production for the fh.t seven months of this year soar 1 23,000,000 over the same period in 1940. Other states are marching al"' in this Government-aided drive larger poultry numbers. The ' est Federal report says "the n"' ber of chickens raised on farms 1941 will exceed all past records The number of layers in '! flocks on August 1 was the larg for the past eight years. Better feeding and manage nv practices boosted the av v.,. hen's production to an all-t;" high in July, and despite re co breaking production, egg pri have continued to be the high in 12 years. Good Unusually good growth has re sulted among all Pamlico County crops planted on land after Aus trian peas had been turned under this year, says Extension County Agent A. T. Jackson.
