It might be better to speak of re treats, for if there have been with drawals they have been forced and have failed to "disengage" large bodies of troops and supplies from the Red Army's own variety of blitz. You don't lose generals by the dozen when you are "withdrawing accord ing to plan." ActunJlv RiiRRinn iroriAmlahin haa I surprised some of the experts. Such exploits as the "Commando" landing on the Taman Peninsula to cut off Germans who expected to' retreat in to the Crimea by way of the Kerch Strait must have upset "withdrawal" plans more than a little. Of course, the German line now is greatly shortened and the Russians have still to prove that they can take newly fortified places like Rostov before! large-scale movements are mired by the spring thaw. But at the present rate they promise to sweep far be yond such points as they have in the last six weeks around the Nazis holding part of Stalingrad. They may have- time to "gather their feet" for another spring that will carry them to the Dnieper. In any case, the Nazis have suffered their biggest defeat of the war and the effects on the German home front cannot be small. We should hear more about them soon. Christian Science Monitor.

International Sunday School Lesson for February 14, 1943 GOLDEN TEXT: "One thing 1 know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see." John 9:25. (Lesson Text: John 9:18-38). Get Ready To Pay The careless reader, who thinks that the Ruml plan, which proposes to "forgive 1942 taxes, will ease his income tax payment in March, may be interested in the following warn ing: , "Nobody is going to go tax-free. I'eople might as well go ahead and prepare to make the March 15th pay ment. If they haven't the money, they had better begin preparations to get it A rude shock awaits people who think they will not have to pay heavy taxes." This is the solemn truth, ine Ruml plan will not affect payments of any American unless his 1942 in come was larger than his 1943 1 in come will be. Even so, the effect 1 1 - 4.1. n O V 1 will not be apparent me payer until the end of 1943, when he will get a credit on the income taxes due to be paid in 1944. It is important for individuals to understand this. Much of the ap plause for the Ruml plan springs from those who think that it will ease tneir tax payment ... This is not the case. If a man made $2,500 in 1942 and makes the same $2,500 in 1943 there will be no change whatever in the income tax that he will be required to pay on March 15th, regardless of whether the Ruml plan is adopted or not. Nyr will there De a cnange m the total' amount of the tax tht he will have to pay in the year 1943. Kntox's Visit To The souin Pacific Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox recently took a two-weeks' aerial tour of the Pacific, visited key Ameri can bases and the Guadalcanal battle front. He concludes that "the whole war situation looks much better than it did ninety days ago." Mr. Knox emphasized that there in no disposition "from the President on down to slight the Pacific area." He points out that "the fighting in this area is being done by Americans almost exclusively." This observation emphasizes that while the United States is devoting the major portion of its tremendous wiwpr tn Hestrov the Axis Dowers in Europe, the war'in the Pacific against i f"1 cautious. No one can violate Janan is nrimarilv an American af-i(;d's laws, including any natural Our lesson this week embraces the entire ninth chapter and all of it i should be read. It pictures very vividly one of the most striking epi sodes in the career of Jesus and re ' veals human nature working in the same channels of thought and action so often experienced in subsequent history. Jesus and his disciples passed by a man who had been blind from birth, very probably a beggar. Jesus evi dently paused and considered the hu man misery herein presented. His disciples believing that the blindness represented pnishroent for wrong doing, inquired of Jesus whether the man or his parents had been guilty. Jesus answered that neither and pro ceeded to lay the foundations for a miraculous restoration of sight, if the blind man had sufficient faith. In our modern day many ponder' the same problem of human suffer- J ing. Job sought for the answer. I There are some people who believe ' that God sends human affliction to I punish or test the faith of human be-i ings. We do not. God desires hap-: piness for every person. Suffering' and pain come from violation of the: unchanging laws of creation, not necessarily by the sufferer, but somewhere in the humai chain con necting him with the past. The realization that all wrong do i ti-r eventually exacts its penalty should make every one more thought-, a rather serious puhishment, forbid ding all other Jews to have any re lations with him. To the formerly blind man in his distress Jesus came, completing the revelation of himself. As he had previously relieved him of the dark ness of blindness, he now opened his spiritual eyes and brought him into a spiritual light even more beneficent than the material vision which had been given. Then, Jesus had a part ing interchange with some of the Pharisees, who in satire asked if they were blind also. Jesus said: "If ye are blind, ye should have no sin but now ye say, we see, there fore your sin remaineth." There is much in this for us to digest. fair. This is realized by the Jap anese. The condition will be altered only when the defeat of Germany in Europe enables Great Britain to throw her resources into the Pacific smuggle. " Mr. Knox talked of the amazing facilities for the care of the wounded that have been built at or near the South Seas battlefronts. He pointed out that a man, wounded on Guadal canal, would be flown to a hospital and be in the operating room "just twenty-four hours after he was hit." The hospital unit is staffed by "the best surgeons in the world, many! specialists." Mr. Knox says that one of the great enemies is malaria but that the Army and Navy are thoroughly aware of the danger. Steps have been taken to combat this menace and the folks at home are advised that is "a son gets malaria, he will get better attention where he is than 1 he would at home." , Everywhere the Secretary was im pressed with the spirit of American law , and escape the effects of his own action, which takes the form of some punishment. A wild and dissolute i life invariably means a shorter life,1 because it violates the health princi-! pies of life. If a child touches a hot stove, even in ignorance, the finger is burn ed. If a blind man walks unknow ingly off a precipice the law of gravi tation causes his death. Even to res cue the innnocent these fundamental laws cannot be altered because if they were flexible more harm would re sult to humanity. God has establish ed certain rules for the conduct of the world and if a man runs counter to these he is out of harmony and cannot receive the benefits which, otherwise would be available. When the blind man returned to his home he created considerable inter est. There was some doubt in the minds of his neighbors but none in his! own. However, he was carried to the Pharisees because Jesus had healed him on the Sabbath, which the strict ritualists considered a violation tail I fighteinir men who are anxious "to!AmonK' these rulers, however, there come to grips with the enemy and was. a difference of opinion, some hes- end the war as soon as possible and """"K u) punusn a man as a sinner have an abounding confidence their ability to do it." Blitz a la Russe Military experts are rapidly re vising their estimates of Russia's of fensive capabilities, but hardly fast enough to keep up with the amazing progress of half a dozen Red Army advances. The belief that Russian forces could not drive back past the 1941 line based on strong points like Rostov, Kharkov and Kursk is now difficult to defend. The latest Russian gains apparent ly cutting off retreat of some 200,000 Germans from the pocket in the western Caucasus and large encircl ing movements in the Voronezh area who was gifted with such miraculous power. Some doubting Jews sent for the parents of the man but they teS' tified that this was their son who had formerly been blind, but declined to run the risk of punishment by ex pressing any opinion regarding Jesus. The jealous religious leaders then sought to disparage Jesus, telling him that they were the followers of Moses and expressed doubt concern ing Jesus. The man who could now see as a result of the miracle grew bolder, however, and expressed his surprise that Jesus could perform such a miraculous act, indicating di vine approval, and yet the religious leaders of the day were unable to ap prove or testify concerning him. At length the man was excommunicated, Moving Farm Labor Aids East Shortage One hundred unC eight families, moving from small farms in western North Carolina during the month of January to larger family-type farms in the eastern part of the State will increase their cultivated acres ap proximately five-fold, according to a report by the U. S. Department of Agriculture,- t "On their new farms, these 'fami lies who have answered their Coun try's call for increased food produc tion will cultivate 5,000 acres in their new locations as compared with ap proximately 1,000 acres where thev farmed last year," said Howard H. Gordon of Raleigh, Regional Director for the Farm Security Administra tion. -These families were among the ! first to volunteer in this State when I the program for fuller utilization of farm labor was started through Farm Security Administration .Supervisors -some six weeks ago, following direc tives of the War Manpower Commis sion and the Secretary of Agricul ture. Thirty-three additional' fanners, re cruited by the l S. Employment Kerv.ce and Farm Security Supervis ors are now taking a practical train ing course in dairy farming at State College. The Division of Vocational Education and the instruction. At the end of their three-weeks' train ing period, they will be available for year-round employment vu dairy farms of the State. Prior to the war emergency there were more farm families in some areas than there was productive land to tend. Many families were on fTif t0, !maH for the fullest us of their labor. Under war condi tions some of these underemployed families are being encouraged and as sisted in relocating on larger or more productive farms, where thev will be fully employed and can contribute the maximum to the Nation's food supply. The farms they leave be hind become available to neighbor farmers who need more land for con solidation into larger farms and pastures. The 100 families, mostly former tenants and sharecroppers, ' moved to Roanoke Farms in Ralifax County, Scuppernong Farms in Washington and Tyrrell Counties and Penderlea 'arms in Pender Cniintv ti -j. nicy arc located on family-type farms averag-l o u acres, ine families came from Avery, McDowell, Macon Wilkes, Jackson, Polk, Haywood, Transylvania, Yancey, Ashe, Bun combe, Watauga, Madison and Alex ander Counties. The families moved m groups by bus and their belong ings were shipped by rail and trucks. the garden, listing those vegetables best suited to this section, and giving other timely information such as the preparation of the soil, planting schedule, amount f seed to be sown, pointers on disease control, and in formation on common garden insects. It suggests the following canning budget for a family of five: string beans 20 quarts, lima beans 5; beets 10, carrots 5, corn 5, greens 5, okra 5, garden peas 10, soup mixtures 80, tomatoes 60 dried vegetables 50 pounds and dried fruits 40 pounds. Advanced gardeners should request "The Farm and Home Garden Man ual," Extension Circular No. 122 and also "Canning Fruits and Vegeta bles", Extension Circular No. 223. All of these may be obtained free of ! charge as long as the supply lasts on application to the Agricultural Edi tor at State College, Raleigh. "You need a Victory Garden be cause increasing amounts of commer cially canned goods will have to be sent to the fighting fronts and to our Allies, because the rationing of meats will require the use of more vege tables for a balanced diet, and be cause your family may not be proper ly fed unless you grow your food supply at home," Extension Horticul turist H. S. Niswonger says. LEGAL NOTICE Amendments of Rules and Regulations Governing the Sanitation and Op eration of Trailers and Trailer Camps: Hertford, North Carolina.

FOR TAXI SERVICE CALL 3101 SMELL BROS. CABS Hertford, N.C. Corner Market and Church Streets "PROMPT SERVICE" JUST ARRIVED We Have Just Received a Shipment of THOMAS LAXTON MAY PEAS LET US SUPPLY YOUR NEEDS t ' More Gardens Needed For Food Every .grower, of a Victory Garden should have a copy of War Series Bulletin No. 14, recently issued by N. C. State College. It is short and practical,, covering the planning .of Congressmen Seek Better Potato Price Congressmen Clark, Harden and Bonner have conferred at length with Hon. Prentiss Brown, Administrator Office of Price Production, relative to the ceiling price on white potatoes for the 1943 crop. Congressman Bonner pointed out to Mr. Brown that the white potato grower had not received the benefit under the various agriculture acts in comparison with tobacco, cotton and other farm products, and that in the face of increased cost of materials and labor they could not produce this year's crop of potatoes under the tentatively proposed ceiling price of $2.40 per hundred, which would have ly bring the Irish potato grower a net return after paying all cost of $20 to $25 per acre. This net does not take into consideration the haz ard of crop failure and other things with which the farmer has to contend, including labor shortages caused by national defense developments. The Congressmen contended for minimum ceiling price of $3.00 pe hundred. At the end of the inter view Administrator Brown stated he had been greatly impressed with the oresentation, and that he would care fully weigh and take into considera tion the facts presented, in setting the ceiling price. Supply Of Nitrogen Is Short This Year Interruptions of imports of nitrate of soda from Chile, greatly increased demands for nitrogen in munitions! and for industrial purposes, and the necessity for accumulating larger and larger stocks of nitrates to meet war demands, are the three principal reasoncs for the present nitrogen shortage as applied to fertilizers, says Dr. Ralph W. Cummings, head of the Department of Agronomy, N. C. State College. No one questions the absolute ne cessity of these limitations, said Dr. Cummings, but coming late as they did, has caused a considerable amount of confusion. Farmers are now re quired to make a written application for fertilizers with the amount per acre to be determined by past prac tices and the recommendations of the Experiment Station for each giv en crop. Many farmers placed fer tilizer orders some time ago but these will have to be revised based spon the latest orders and regulations of the Secretary of Agriculture.
