ALL of the money we collected last year . . .
from ALL of our passenger business... i
amounted to about ONE THIRD of our total TAX BILL!

VC'hat happened to all these tax dollars? Many of them never got
very "far from home". In fact $14Vi million ended up in state, county and
local tax treasuries along the lines of the Southern. Here they went to work
for your community ? helpfrig to pay for schools and their1 maintenance
. . . police and fire protection . . . highways and streets . . . many other vital
pub! ic services.
As a taxpayer, yourself, it is personally important to you that the railroads
contribute, through their tax payments, to the support of yovjr community.
It also is important to you that the railroads pay all their own cotts of
doing business, without help from the taxpayers.
But the railroads cannot forever continue as taxpaying, self-supporting
private enterprises if they must forever continue to compete for business
with transportation agencies supported in part by your tax dollars, and
ours. No industry can! ,

Love Has Plans
For BurMil
Parent Firm
GREENSBORO, N. C., Dec, 9?
A new over-all corporate designa
tion, embracing Burlington Mills
and 'the aggregate of its subsidi
ary and affiliated companies, will
be proposed to company stock
holders, J. Spencer Love, chair
man of the board, announced to
day.
Thfe new designatiop, "Burling
ton Industries, Inc." has been rec
ommended by the Board of Direc
tors as being more descriptive -of
the company's current policy of
decentralization and Its expanded
range of diversified operations. -
It will |>e submitted for stock
holder approval at the annual
meeting on Feb. 3, 1955.
According to the announcement
the new corporate designation
would not result in any basic
change in merchandising, trade
marks or selling areas of either
Burlington Mills and its various
divisions or alf ilia ted companies.
Burlington Industries, Inc.,
would serve as a parent company
for the present Burlington family,
which includes Galey and Lord,
Burlington Hosiery, Peerless
Woolen Mills, National Malllnson,
Pacific Mills and Goodall-Sanfo'-d.
Burlington Mills, producer of
man-made fabrics and blends,
would continue as a principal di
vision of Burlington Industries.
"The name, 'Burlington Mills
Corp.' has in the past been 'gen
erally associated with develop
ment, manufacture and merchan
dising of fabrics made of m un
made fibers," the announcement
said. "But, with diversification
and the basic soundness of having
Individual areas operating on
their owp initiative, the change
Of name is now appropriate."
It was emphasized in the an
nouncement that the new designa
tion will not be placed into effect.
| until it is approved by stockhold
ers. At that time, details of the
corporate structure of Burlington
Industries, Inc., will be made
known.
Burlington, organized 31 years
ago by Mr. Love as primarily a
producer of rayon fabrics, today
is the world's leading producer of
fabrics of man-made fibers and
blends as well as a major manu
facturer of cdtton, woolen, worst
ed and plastic fabrics for the ap
parel, hosiery, home furnishings,
industrial, automotive, domestics i
and ribbon trades.
White clover plants grown a- 1
lone are good grazing for hogs
I and chickens. If grazed by cattle,
j they should be grown with grass
to help control bloat.
There are a number of timely |
garden operations that can still
he carried out 1 f you slipped up
on them earlier.
In the vegetable garden we may
plant asparagus crowns. Buy one
year old crowns of the Mary
Washington variety at the larger
seed stores. Dig a trench about
8 Inches deep and wide enough
so the fleshy roots of the aspara
gus crown can be well spread
out. Before setting the crowns
rake in about one gallon of an
8-8-8 garden fertilizer por 100 feet
of trench or make a generous ap
plication of well rotted stable
manure. Set the crowns 18 inches
apart in the trench and cover.
Fifty plants should supply enough
asparagus for the average family.
It la best not to cut any of the
spfears the first spring. Asparagus
is a perennial plant and therefore
should be planted to. one side of
the garden where it will -not in
terfere with plowing. It should
produce profitably for 10 to 15
years.

In the flower garden there is
still time to plant spring flower
ing bulbs ? tulips, daffodils, jon
quils, crocus and Dutch Iris. They
make a bright spot in the garden
in early spring and everyone
should plant some. It isn't neces

varieties. The older ones may. be
Just as beautiful and better adapt

In eastern and central North
Carolina fall is the best time to
set pansy plants. Plants set at
this time of the year become well
established for good production
of spring blooms.
Peonies are best planted In the
fall in this part of the country.
They require shallow planting.
Take care that the buds on the di
visions art? not covered more than
one to two inches deep. Establish
ed plants should not be moved un

as they are blooming satisfactori
ly do not disturb them. It is not
necessary to divide the plants

Apparently all you need
