I Discusses Twelfth Grade For Schools In P.-T. A Meeting J (Continued from page is of eight years in the elementary school and four years in the high school. With this, in mind, the committee-, then set about planning the courses of study that would be acceptable in such a system No new courses were : recommended but many changes i were made in the old courses Hie new grade will have as its subjects, j North Carolina history, language, science, health, music and art. math ematics. reading and spelling The introduction of the eighth year in the elementary school means that there will be no first year high school grades in any of the schools in the State next year It also means that there will be many problems re garding certification of teachers, housing, and others which will havt to be worked 4ut between the prin cipals and local boards before the organi/ation can begin to function , the next school year. An appropriation of $400,000 was made to put the new system in op eration for the year 1042-43 but be cause of the reduced number of clnl dren in high school not a great many additional teachers will be required to take care of the elementary grade. Many systems .will very likely plan to hold probably the ninth and tenth grades at the present time in school for an additional year. Any proposed organization made by the local board and county boards will have to be approved by the State De partment of Education and the State qehool Commission in Raleigh. - ? . ' ? Y ???* ? . 1 Alaska Missionary Will Sj>eak Here On Sunday morning at 11 o'clock Miss Bessie B Blacknall will speak at the Church of the Advent, and at St. Martin's, Hamilton. Miss Black nall has been stationed for the past 25 years at St. Mark's Mission, No nana, Alaska, as missionery in charge of the board school for boys and girls. The work at St. Mark's Mission is primarily with children, though the Indians for miles come to thp Mis sion. The school has a staff of five. About forty children are enrolled and are taught through the eighth grade The life at the school is a1 community affair with the staff and ! 'the students doing the work. The nearest doctor lives sixty miles away so often the school has to act in many emergencies to care for the j sick and the injured. Bishop Bentley also lives at Nenana. ( The chief problem facing the mis- i isionary in Alaska is to help the na- j , tive people become accustomed to | {by the white man, which has now ! been thrust upon them. ! Nenana is about 150 miles south of 1 the Arctic Circle, in central Alaska, I on the Tanana River It is the junc tion for the rail and river traffic, i The Alaska Railroad crossed4he riv er at Nenana and is the main means of travel and heavy traffic serving gold nd coal mines, the Matanuska farming area and the prosperous towns of Fairbanks and Anchorage. Miss Blacknall has done fine work j in Alaska and her variety of exper ience has given her many interesting things to tell of the church's work in the North Country. Everyone Is | urged to avail themselves of this opportunity to hear of the work of the church in the country that soon may play such a great part in the defense of our Nation.

Victory Book Drive Below Expectations # The Victory Book Drive, conduct id in this county last week, netted 935 books, ? drive chairman, R. H. Goodmon, announced yesterday. It was pointed out, however, that only one minister had reported and that the collection by the religious bod ies should certainly carry the total well over the 1,000 mark. Arrangements have been made to have the books moved to Washing ton where they will be grouped with others for shipment to the various camps and forts for distribution through the USO libraries. Reporting the results of the col lection. Chairman Goodmon said the Robersonville schools led the list with 301 books. The local schools contributed 139 volumes, but 220 were received by the public depos itory in front of the Virginia Elec tric and Power Company office, and eigh volumes were turned in by Rev. John Hardy for the Episcopal church. Reports from the various other schools: Jamesville, 68; Farm Life. 22; Oak City, 19; Everetts, 30; Bear Grass, 113, and Hamilton, none. It was first estimated that the peo ple of this county could spare at least 2,000 books, but it is fairly ap parent that the appeal bogged down in some sections.

Mrs. Virginia Perry Passes At Her Home Here This Morning (Continued from page one) despite any shortcomings that might have been theirs she still maintained a beautiful faith in her friends and fellowmen and women. During the long years as an invalid and despite her nearly 88 years of age she would from her rolling chair on her porch maintain a keen interest in the move ments of her friends and the pub lic. While she never affiliated with any church, she had an unwavering faith in her Maker, and the humble and unpretentious life she led was a worthy example for others to fol low. She never complained and in all her illness she was thoughtful of others, asking little attention for her self even in her affliction. No children survive the union, and she leaves only one sister, Mrs. Ad die Edwards, of High Point, and a number of nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be conduct ed at the late home tomorrow after noon at 2:30 o'clock by Dr. W. R. Burrell, acting pastor of the local Baptist Church, assisted by Rev. Z. T. Piephoff, Presbyterian minister. Interment will follow in the family plot in the local cemetery. ? Edwards Candidate For Representative Jack Edwards, Greenville attor ney, this week formally announced his candidacy for the National House j of Representatives from the First District, the announcement being accompanied by lengthy declarations and promises. - Edwards, a native Of Hertford, lo cated in Greenville the latter part of 1925 after service in the Army dur ing the World War and after com pleting his law courses. He represent ed Pitt County in the 1933 State As sembly and served as secretary to Congressman H. S. Ward during his four years in Washington. Mr. Edwards' candidacy is the third subject to the May 30 Democra tic primary in this district. Herbert Deary, Eden ton man, announced for the seat in the House but withdrew a short time ago leaving Marvin K. Blount, Greenville man, in the race for the seat now occupied by Herbert Bonner. It was rumored a few days ago that Edwards would enter the race with Blount and Bonner, but not until Tuesday did he formally { announce his candidacy. Outlook For Supply And Demand For the Year 1942 Reviewed General Increase in Supply And Upward Price Trend Are Expected The farm outlook as ifAelates to production and prices ha^been re viewed in comparison with 1941 by the United States Bureau of Agri cultural Economics, as follows: In 1942 prices received by farmers for farm products are expected to hold around parity, nveraging nei ther greatly above nor greatly below that point. In other words, prices re ceived in relation to prices paid, in terest, and taxes, are expected to av erage about the same as at the end of 1941, when the ratio was at 99 per cent of parity. In compliance with agriculture's wartime production goals, total out put of farm products is expected to be the largest on record. However, despite the record supplies expected, prices are likely to rise, partly be cause of record high consumer in comes, partly because the demands of consumers will focus sharply on food as the output of civilian manu factured goods declines, and partly because of continued Government purchases for lend-lease shipment. Under the influence of these factors, farm product prices are expected to average about 25 per cent above 1941. The result of higher prices for a larger output probably will be an in crease of at least 2 billion dollars in farm income this year as compared with 1941, when income was esti mated at 11.0 billion dollars. At the same time, costs that farmers must pya out for goods and services are expectde to rise, offsetting in part the estimated increase in income. The National income probably will be at least 10 billion dollars greater in 1942 than in 1941. Incomes of in dustrial workers will be over 15 per cent greater than in 1941, and nearly double what they were at the begin ning of the war. But increased taxes applying to individuals may hold the net increase in the money purchas ing power of consumers in 1942 over the average for 1941 to not much more than 5 per cent. Increased sales of defense bonds to the public may make the gain even smaller than this and the net result of increased mon ey incomes .taxes, and defense bonds purchases may leave the money in come of consumers available for pur chases of commodities and services no higher in 1942 than the present level. For some groups it will be even less than in 1941. Increased war pro duction, however, will substantially reduce the quantity of factory prod ucts for civilian use, probably to less than the quantity in 1940, so that consumer income in relation to avail able supplies of goods will be in creased. This should add to the con sumer demand for farm products in 1942 compared with 1941. Increased Government purchases of farm products for shipment to our Allies and for other purposes and the substitution of domestic farm prod ucts for some formerly imported, al so will add to the demand for agri cultural commodities. The net effect of the prospective changes in. these conditions should be a substantial increase in the over-all demand for farm products in 1942 over the 1941 average, although the increase from present levels may not be great. The situation by some commodi ties is as follows: Cotton: A total domestic cotton consumption of close to 11 1-2 mil lion bales for the current season is now expected on account of heavy military and civilian demand. This would exceed the record high of last season by 1 3-4 million bales. Hogs: Hog production and market ings will set a new high record in 1942. Cash farm income from hogs in 1942 is expected to be the largest in over 20 years. Beef cattle: Fat cattle prices have advanced sharply since early No vember. Fined For Operating Car With Improper Brake? Henry Stilley, colored, was fined $5 and taxed with the cost by Jus tice J. L. Hassell here this week for operating a car with improper brakes. Stilley was driving on the Hamilton Road behind a school bus. His brakes failed to hold when the bus stopped to discharge several chil dren, and he drove almost by it be fore he could stop. * Former Local Man It Injured In Accident Wood row Wilson Ray, a former local man who was Injured about two weeks ago when struck by i drunken automobile driver in New York, is getting along very well, rel atives here were notified this week Young Ray, a member of the armed forces, suffered a broken leg and other injuries, it was stated. ? % a? /"** /2j"allis> T1 nanr>La IVirS.

Japs Pushing Drive On Several Nations In the Pacific Area] ???? (Continued from page one) India thia week apparently in an effort to get permission for supplies to move through India. Russia, still carrying the winning banner for the Allies, has driven into Latvia, and British and American aid to those gallant fighters is in creasing. While the Japs continue their push in the Pacific, the outlook for this nation is not very encouraging, according to high-ranking militar ists who are even predicting that a big Axis offensive can be expected on these shores in the spring. In creased submarine activity in the | Caribbean area is being reported, and the people are being warned not to be surprised if enemy subs bob upjn the Atlantic and attack the coastal areas of North Carolina and Virginia. However, in warning of such a possibility, Secretary of War Stimson said yesterday that the sur | mi may to lose the war was to bring pressure and call for a division of our forces. The only way, according to the secretary, is to stage an offen sive and he added that one is being | prepared. President Roosevelt, confined by a cold today, is scheduled to address the American people next Monday night at 10 o'clock"when he will like ly offer a detailed report of the war. Prime Minister Churchill has shaken up his cabinet, and in the change there is hope for a more ef fective prosecution of the war. Lord Beaverbrook, Sir Howard Wood and Arthur Greenwood have been dis missed and Stafford Cripps, a real ist and former ambassador to Rus- | sia, has been added. In Bataan, General MacArthur 1 mopped up the Japs in a recent bat-1 tie, but the war is still raging. Wants WANTED ?BABY CARRIAGE IN I good condition. See Mrs. Joseph | Godard III, or call 9111.

Sentiment seems fair ly strong for a sales tax, even at re tail, and also for a salary-withhold ing levy. Proponents point to these sales tax advantages; it's easy to levy; spreads the burden widely; op erates to hold down over-buying, and starts bringing in the money immed iately upon enactment. Most of these apply to the withholding tactic, also. But they recognize there are plenty of arguments that can and will be made on the other side.
