Tours will start at 9 a.m. through the Spin ning and Weaving Plant, the Full Fashioned Hosiery Plant, and the Tricot Knitting Plant. Although the canvas we use in our awnings is sold to us by John Boyle & Co., of New York, the actual manufacture of this canvas is done by Glen Raven Mills, at Glen Raven, just outside of Bur lington. Glen Raven Mills are one of the major producers of canvas in the United States, and their products are handled by practical ly every canvas supplier in the country. Roger Gantt. Jr., by the way. has one of the largest summer homes on Atlantic Bcach. and has many friends in this section. On Saturday of this week ? the day following Glen Raven Mills Open House ? we will attend the meeting of the Virginia-Carolina's Canvas Goods Manufacturers Asso ciation. which will be held at the King Cotton Hotel, in Greensboro. We now have four Clearview Louvered Glass Porch Enclosures going up within the next couple of weeks in Beaufort, Morehead City and Atlantic Beach.

Now is the time to get your porch or breezeway measured up for an enclosure, then when Spring really "breaks" we can get the installa tion for you in a h-u-r-r-y-. We have just finished installing the Venetian Blinds in the beauti ful new building of the Carteret Craven Electric Membership Corp., which has recently been completed here in Morehcad City. That, friends, is a building that would do credit to any community. The Marinos of the Rex Res taurant here at Morehead City are getting ready to open another res taurant at Jacksonville, in the same building they did business in be fore they came to Morehead City. The Jacksonville REX has been completely remodeled and re equipped under the daily super vision *of Daddy Marino. We in stalled the Venetian Blinds last Friday, and the re-opening is sched uled for the near future. Within the next couple of weeks ?e will be manufacturing Vene tian Blinds with WOVEN plastic tape, something very new. The Htissell Manufacturing Company, the largest manufacturer of Vene tian Blind tape, is now weaving tape from plastic yam ? the moat beautiful tape we have ever seen. The tape is now available in White. Duke and Mingled -the only Min gled plastic tape made . . . and in about sixty days we will have the other colors available. In this new plastic tape, the ladders (that part of the tape that holds the blind stats) will be woven in. not stuck on. as in other plastic tapes. Other features of the Russell WOVEN Plastic Tape are: tapes will not wrinkle, blind will raise and lower as easily as with cotton tapes, and tapes will be easy to clean with damp cloth.

WHITIHURST Awning and Hind Co. _? MmM City. N. C Revenue Commissioner Explains Use of Short Form for State Tax I "North Carolina taxpayers may take a blanket deduction of 10 per cent on 1063 return* if they are qualified to use the convenient new ahort form D-400A," State Rev enue Commlaaioner Eugene Shaw pointed out today. Thia new condensed form for filing State income tax was provid ed by the 19S3 General Asaembly. It may be used only by those tax payers whose income conaiats of salariea, wages, commissions, and interest or dividends. Soil Tests Are Needed For Assistance "Take you soil samples early and ivoid the rush" -sounds like a Christmas slogan, but it isn't. Soil samples become a serious matter this year for thousands of Tar Heel farmers. In order to obtain financial assistance for soil conser vation practices through the Ag ricultural Stabilization and Conser vation program (formerly PMA), farmers must first have their soil tested for lime and fertilizer needs. In Western North Carolina some 20,000 farmers have already re ceived approval for carrying out conservation practices under the 1954 Agricultural Conservation Program, which requires the soil sample. These 20,000 farmers, according to H. D. Godfrey, state administrative officer, are expect ing to carry out their conservation measures this spring. But in most cases they cannot even begin until after they have received their soil analysis. In no case will the farmer be eligible for federal cost-sharing for practices involving the establish ment of a permanent cover of per ennial legumes or grasses, the ini tial treatment of cropland to per mit the use of legumes and grasses, or the initial improvement of an established permanent grass or grasslegumc cover until a soil sample has been submitted and the amount of limestone needed shown on the analysis sheet, says Godfrey. Even before the ASC's Agricul tural Conservation Program requir ed soil samples in connection with certain practices, it was recognized by many farmers that soil sampling and liming and fertilizing accord ing to the soil laboratory's recom mendations ar<j good farming prac tices. Now, as well as being good farming practice, Godfrey reminds North Carolina farmers tbat fedcr al cost-sharing on some practices is dependent upon a soil sample. The State Soil Testing Labora tory in Raleigh is keeping up with the flood of samples that are com ing in now. The peak season for tKe Soil Testing Laboratory, howev er, will begin the last of January or the first of February so be sure to get your samples in before then. They should be mailed directly to the Soil Testing Laboratory. State Agricultural Building, Raleigh, of bring them to your County ASC Of fice for mailing. Don't wait; you might be too late. Grasshoppers' Night Shift Cleans Farmer's Fields Jefferson City, Mo. (AP) ? A farmer near here was appalled at the sight of hungry grasshoppers invading hit field of corn one even ing. He hustled back to the house ind phoned a company that docs aerial spraying. They promised to get right on the job in the morning. But bright and early the farm er took another look at the field' and canceled the spray job. The grasshoppers' night shift had clean ed the field. If the taxpayer's income was re ceived from sources other than these, he must use the regular long form, D-400, which has been in use since the State levy was made on income, back in 1921. If the taxpayer bad sources of income other than those described above and he uses the long form, he must follow the same pattern as in years past. Both husband and wife must qualify for the use of the short form before either can file on it; otherwise both must use long forms. Joint returns of husband and wife may be filed only if their joint income is derived from the same source or sources, and such income cannot be separated. Some examples of income which CANNOT be filed on the short form include: Income from rent als, profit from sale of real prop erty, profit from the sale of stocks and bonds, annuities, professional occupations, income from owner ship and/or operation of a business or farm. This is the case even though the taxpayer may also have WM boat Set for Heart Fund Campaign Chapel Hill ? With emphasis on the hope that contributions may , speed solutions of the problems of heart disease, the North Carolina Heart Association today announced that a goal of $125,000, the same as last year, has been set for the State of North Carolina in the 1954 Heart Fund campaign this month. Col. Lawrence L. Simpson, U.S.A. ret., Charlotte, state campaign chairman, issued the following statement at State headquarters here today in announcing the goal: "Money we contribute to the Heart Fund must be viewed more in the light of an investment than a donation. "We are investing in research with the hope of ultimately finding the causes and then establishing controls over diseases of the heart | and circulation- diseases now re sponsible for about half the deaths in our state. "We are investing in education looking toward a broader under standing of the heart problem and the destruction of harmful miscon ceptions, and looking as well to ward the speediest possible traas mission of new research findings to physicians." Finally, "we arc investing in community services designed not only for protection of healthy hearts but also to help restore heart disease sufferers to positions of usefulness," he said. The Association's program is aimed at discovering causes and new treatments for heart disease and improving facilities for pa tient care, Colonel Simpson ex plained. School Closes From Lack Of Pupils in Pennsylvania Waterville, Pa. (AP) ? With schools all over the nation jammed packed with a bumper crop of pu pils, the one-room school house in this Central Pennsylvania commun ity is closed this year. Reason: No pupils. At one time the community of ISO persons had 60 pupils enrolled in the elementary school. That fig ure dropped continually until at the beginning of the present term there were only eight eligible chil dren. So, the school board decided that it would be much cheaper to send the eight remaining pupils by bus to Jersey Shore eight miles away, rather than keep the 60-year-old building open. ??

If the long form must be used, the taxpayer is entitled to deduct all of his professional or business expenses, and may deduct such per sonal expenses as contributions to religious and charitable organiza tions, certain personal taxes, per sonal interest charges paid, medi cal expenses which exceed S per cent of his net income, and other personal expenses deductible un der law. "A taxpayer cannot claim the standard 10 per cent deduction if required to file on the long form," the Commissioner assert ed. Commissioner Shaw commented on the action of the General As sembly in providing for the simpler short form: "It was the intention of this leg islation to eliminate the necessity of non-business persons' keeping books and records on their income and allowable deductions, and thus making easier the filing of their State income tax returns." 111 ?

Uae of chilled hi water in place of ice to trans port fish lui produced favorable results here. Pacific Fisheries Ex perimental Station officials say the new method may prove of major importance to the fishing industry. Scientists stored freshly-caught fish at a temperature of 30 degrees P., in sea water chilled by a con dentine unit The hi ayitcai Ma be installed in wooden fishing craft without insulating the hull. It also eliminates carrying and handling of Ice. When the first lot was landed, the plump, wholesome, fresh-look ing appearance of the spring sal mon from the sea water tank could scarcely be distinguished from freshly-caught fish. The skin was without bruises, which often are present when ice is used.
