Nunan Jr., of Greensboro has annunoced that auto use tax stamps in the denom ination of $5.00 were placed on sale in all postoflices and offices of Col lectors of Internal Revenue on Saturday, June 10. The stamps will evidence payment of the tax for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1944, and must be purchased on or before that date. The stamps will be serially numbered, will be gummed on the face, and will have pi'ovision on the back for en try of the make, model, serial number and license number of the vehicle. Mr. Nunan said that, to guard against loss or theft, it has been suggested that, when affixing the stamps, the vehicle owner should dampen the windshield rather than the adhesive side of the stump. This method has been recommend ed to keep the stamp intact upon the windshield. As an additional precaution, it has also been sug gested that each motor vehicle owner should make a record of the serial number which appears on the use tax stamp for protection in event the stamp should become lost. v. . r j - , vv -s v i, -,ir-i r f&.$F ' -V-V.;.. fUMiJd life, tt-fc1 r" v .SDaiiHw .-irs. -J 7,180 POUNDS Or CLOTHING SHIPPED FOR RUSSIAN RELIEF Another Drive Planned For Fall tent.

MAYOR PAUL RESIGNS AS OFJULJMST.. Mayor Pro-Tem Bayard Taylor To Take Over 5TH WAR DRIVE GETS OFF TO SLOW START Carteret's Quota Of $388,000 Hardly Nicked The 5th War Loan Drive open ed June 12 at a time when the necessity for cooperation of folks back home was so evident that it would seem that fanfare ami in genious devices to arouse interest in participation woul i be super fluous. Carteret's quota is $388,000 of which we are asked to make $217, 000 worth E bonds. All E, F, and G, bonds during June and July will be applied to the Loan quota, ac cording to Chairman I. E. Pit-.man, of Morehead City, but the bigger issues may be applied only during the period from June 12 to July 8 designated as the Drive period. Mr. Pittman says that contrary to the spirit of urgency which he expected, the drive has gotten off to a slow start with considerablo less than the first $50,000 worth sold to date. He makes an appeal to the people of the County to co operate by buying from one of the issuing offices, the Morehead Bank and Post Office, the Beaufort Bank and Post Office, Newport Post Office and Atlantic Post Office because their conscience tells them to without waiting for a per sonal appeal to be made. As with other business men today, there are a tremendous number of unu sual demands being made on hii'i which prohibit him from going out through the County to present the matter personally as he would like to do. Mayor Grayden M. Paul hand ed in his resignation as Mayor of the town of Beaufort at the month ly meeting of the city fathers on last Monday evening. Mayor Paul gave as his reason the increasing demands made on him by his bus iness which suffers from neglect when he carries the responsibili ties of Mayor at the same time. The Board accepted his resigna tion with extreme regret. BayarJ Taylor, member of the Board, wili assume the duties of Mayor be ginning July 1st. The Board gave Jack Glover per mission to move his house down Turner Street to another lot about a block from where it is now locat ed. At the request of the State Highway Commission, an ordi nance was passed allowing parking only on the north side of Ann Street in that section between Queen Street westward to the Highway Bridge. , A raise of $200.00 a year was granted Officer Peterson as assist ant to Chief Longest in the Street Department. This action was tak en because Chief Longest's health prohibits him from doing any strenuous work. The sign at the corner of Crav en and Ann Streets was ordered replaced to indicate a one way block between Ann and Front. The matter of no parking in this block north of Herring's Radio Shop Craven Street was discussed but no action was taken. To the People cf this Community This is a home front communi que on the most vital war action now in progress in every com munity of the landthe Fifth " War Loan. we are ad vancing on ouf obje'e tive. How ever, we must make certain that we reach and pass our goal by July 8. This can bs done if every one of us puts something extra of ourselves into the fight. No one needs to remind you that it is an American trait to go into a sprint with the goal in sigM. - We started this push June 12. Reports from every city and town in America tell us that the num ber of individual buyers of extra War Bonds today has reached an unprecedented total. We all know that in addition to numbers we need fire power. Your extra War Bond is absolutely essential. The greater the stockpile of War Bonds, the easier it will be for us to get this war over. This very moment our boys are waging a life-and-death struggle. Every additional War Bond you buy will play its part in the out come. Last month's War Bond, last week's War Bond, yester day's War Bond are already in the embattled foxholes. Today is another day for the home front just as today is another day for the boys on the battlefronts. THE EDITOR. Candidate The Budget for read and adopted.

Some fifty or seventy-five gathered between 10:30 and 11:00 but when noon approached and Court had not op ened there was a general exit for lunch. Five minutes later when Jud.e Clawson Williams arrived and Sheriff Holland formally op ened Court with the official "Oyez, oyez, the honorable Court of Car teret County," etc., few were pres ent except jurymen and Court officials.

Whitehurst, Wilson Golden, J. A. L. Murdoch excused. In his charge to the jury, Judge Williams reviewed the history of the jury system from its ancient origin to the present. He explained the terms of the oath which the men had taken no one to be pre sented through malice, on one to go free through hope of reward, and emphasized the necessity of secrecy regarding proceedings. Judge Williams lamented espec ially the abandonment of patental discipline in the world today "not the sort that beats children, but the sort that teaches children to want to do the rgiht thinjj discipline that can never bo im proved upon. With more of it there would not be the crime wave that we iiave among juve niles." Court opened a little on the dressy side, but by the time the af ternoon arrived coats began to come off. Between the luncheon recess and 5:30 the mill ground out divorces at the rate of one ev ery ten or fifteen minutes.

RALEIGH, June 14 The state today offered to lease river and sound bottom in northeastern North Carolina to the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey for oil drillings. It retained for itself a block stretching west from a line run ning from Hatteras to Ocracoke and agreed to lease its bottoms in southeastern North Carolina to the Coastal Plains company, a co partnership of North Carolinians, which first approached the state last March. The proposed boundaries were announced today after a closed session attended by the board of conservation and development, representatives of the state board of education and the attorney general's office. Representatives of the oil company and Constat Plains also were heard but they did not immediately signify wheth er they would meet the state -specified boundaries. Under the proposed leases, the state would get one-eighth of re turns from oil found on those properties. Both outfits would drill on pri vate property under other leases or options. ? Roughly, the area offered to Standard Oil, containing about 1,250,00 acres, runs from Cape Hatteras due west to the inter section of the 77th meridian, near Washington, N. C, thence north along the same meridian to the Virginia line. " The Coastal Plains area would center at Ocracoke Inlet, run to near New Bern, and down to the ocean along the 77th meridian, Undeeded properties in North Carolina some years ago were given under statute .to the board of education. River and sound bottom rights are those of the board of conservation, under stat ute, unless individuals own them under the old lord proprietor grants. The board of education, in turn, had turned over some of its properties to the department of conservation and development, to be used as game refuges, but the transaction carried a reversion clause. The Coastal Plains company had already leased the Great Hol ly shelter and Angola pocosins and other properties under a pre vious agreement.
