MARRUS Aliens An alien who is employed by a manufacturer of airplanes or air plane parts or accessories may not have access to the plans, specifica tion or work under construction with out the written permission of the Secretary of War or of the Navy. 'That has been the law since 1926.... In 1940, the National Defense Act went even further in providing this restriction for aliens employed by manufacturers of any article ordered under secret, confidential government contracts.... An Arizona law forbid ding the employment of aliens in pri vate industry has been held uncon stitutional. Shoulder Arms Naturalization has been refused a number of aliens (including a Men- nonite preacher) who refused to pro mise that they would bear arms for this country in time of war This recalls the famous case of Mme. Eosika Schwimmer, who, in 1929, re fused to answer “Yes” to Question 24 of the Naturalization application which reads: “If necessary are you willing to take up arms in defense of the country?”, and was therefore de nied citizenship In 1937, a 72 year old resident of Florida, Ameri can-born, who had lost her citizenship by marriage to a German, 24 years before, was also ' refused citizenship because she would not promise to bear arms, though she was willing to agree to perform non-combatant serv ice!

The high taritt passm during Andrew Jackson’s administration was almost the cause oi a civil war. It was known as the “Tariff of Abominations. Sout Carolina passed an “Ordinance of Nullification,” saying that sne would not enforce the federal government’s tariff law. There was a crisis much like the secession crisis of 1860. ^ South Carolina took the lead* in rejecting an act of Congress B/(S /NPUSTRIAL PRODUCTION JOB.. 16.000 POUNDS OF ALUMINUM are FOR A MOPFRN 4-‘M0T0R"fLyi^y FORTRESS* Fun Mrs. Harold McWilliams of Salem, Mass, claimed in a divorce suit that her husband brought home four cho rus girls in bathing suits and chased them about the yard. P. S. Does she get that divorce? Case Dismissed Frances Headley, 15, was playing truant from high school in Plainfield, N. J. When the truant officer brought her to court, she announced: “Your Honor, I am a married wo man.” It seems that she had been married the week before. The Judge dismis sed the complaint because he felt that it might be unseemly to have a married woman going to high school. Court ruled that Dr. Welch was mar- reid and that the former Mrs. Tre maine had the right to call herself Mrs. Welch.

When he had finished, he asked: “1 hope I have not bothered you with ail these ques tions?” The woman: “Of course not. I have a seven year old son at home.” FARM Questions - Answers QUESTION :Can the condition of gin equipment affect the quality of cotton ANSWER: Yes. According to J. A. Shanklin, Extension cotton specialist at State College, good ginning and poor ginning show up noticeably in the preparation and grade of cotton. It is imperative therefore that gin- rs “make ready” their gins during the growing season so that they will be in position to offer growers a good job in the fall. July is the usual ‘make ready” month and during that period ginners should be careful to put all machinery and equipment in tip-top shape. Taxes Only seven million people in this country pay federal income taxes... The federal debt is 11 times that of 1914 Interest on the federal debt costs the American people more than g'et next year will be 19 million dol lars It is estimated that at least one-third of a family’s rent check goes to pay property taxes The speeches of Congressmen during the V6th Congress cost $1,795,000. to print in the Con.gressional record— or $45. a page (Talk is not so cheap) ... .A bill has been introduced into Congress asking for $15,000 to im prove the strength of onions. .. .Ano ther calls for $1,000,000 to buy sur plus oysters.... New cork City ex pects to save approximately $60,000 a year by maintaining its own type writer repair shop... Prime Minister Churchill actually receives less than one-third of his salary because of the lieavy British income taxes (about $12,672 out of $40,000.) Haste Makes Waste A Western Union messenger was in such a hurry to deliver a telegram that his services cost the company $300. As the boy was about to enter an office, he collided head-on with a passerby. The latter’s glasses broke and cut his face so severely that four stitches were required. The man sued and recovered a judgement of $300. because the messenger was “negli gent in walking without due regard for the safety of others.” the Judge. Small Fortune Archduke Otto, claimant to the throne of the former Austro-Hun garian Empire is being sued in the New York Supreme Court by Arch duke Leopold of Austria, who is at present in Connecticut. Leopold, a 6th cousin of Otto (who resides in New York City) seeks to compel Otto to pay him what he claims is a just share of the Hapsburg family fortune. This fortune, according to Leopold, in cludes the Hapsburg Fund (estimated in 1937 at $120,000,000) which was set up in the eighteenth century by Empress Maria Theresa. The suit is still pending. Matrimonial Troubles The Home Owners Loan Corpora tion, the federal agency which lends money on real estate, is having ma trimonial troubles. It seems that new marriages and divorces have a defi nite bearing on their loans. In case of a divorce, it is sometimes a problem to decide whether the husband or wife gets the property on which the HOLC has a mortgage, and also who will continue to make the monthly pay ments. Second marriages also com plicate their business — if Madam X 2 does not happen to care for Mad am X I’s choice of a home. QUESTION: What opportunity will farmers have to cooperate in the na tional defense effort aside from an adequate production of food-feed- ANSWER: Since farmers of the state this year expect to have more income than last, but may not be able to buy some of the things which they need or want because of defense priorities, they may well invest some of the increased income in defense bonds or stamps. That is the advice of Tom Cornwell, Cleveland county cotton farmer and member of the state AAA committee, which main tains offices at State College. So ruled Blackjack New Jersey seems to be having* blackjack troubles. Its Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, Arth'ur E. Magee, has announced that a number of home made blackjacks had been confiscated by his agents from cars passing in spection stations. The Commissioner warned that the carrying of such weapons is a misdemeanor unless a permit is secured first. The Legal Galerdar The following were actual legal cases — Halligan vs. Westmont Lov ing Service (a dissatisfied customer?) St. Peter & Sons vs. St Peter Remember Dr. Harry L. Welch of Bridgetown, N. J. is married, even though he does not remember going through the cere mony. The doctor, 68, had sued Mrs. Ida Tremaine, 54 to stop her from calling herself his wife. She testified that the doctor and she had been mar ried at Ellicott City, Md., on Feb- uary 8, 1940, while sitting in the back seat of Dr. Welch’s automobile. The physician swore that he did not re member any such ceremony, and that he had slept all that day m Bridge port. In spite of his bad memory, the QUESTION: How have state far mers responded to the plea of Govern or .1. M. Broughton for increased production of eggs in North Caro lina ? ANSWER: The response has been unusually good, reports C. F. Parrish, Extension poultryman at State Col lege, but “too' many” producers are marketing their pullets as broilers instead of holding them as layers. At the present time there is no egg shortage, but this condition may be changed in the near future unless egg production is stepped up even higher. People are eating more eggs at home, the Army needs tremendous quanti ties and still more are scheduled for shipment overseas. that was unpopular in the South and called on her sister states for “aid and comfort.” North Carolina opposed the adop tion of the “Tariff of Abominations.” The General Assembly adopted a re port which stated that such action was a direct violation of the spirit of the constitution and was “repug nant to the objects for which it was formed.” The state’s legislative protest first expressed the idea that no “portion of the American people” was “more attached to the Union.” Such strong questions were advanced as “whether the benefits of the Union are not more than counterbalanced by the evils.” North Carolina’s protest expres sed two main reasons for opposing the “Tariff of Abominations.” Con gressional power to tax imports was given by the constitution for the purpose of revenue. Legislation for manufactures in the United States should not be by the federal govern ment because they “are not an ob ject of general, but of local interest.” Further words of opposition were stated because the high tariff was “calculated to produce an enormous tax on the .agriculture of the South.” The committee which prepared the legislative report believed the tariff “fatal to the happiness, the morals, and the rights of a large portion of our common country; for it has its foundation in avarice, and consumes every patriotic feeling.” When South Carolina called upon North Carolina and other Southern States to resist the federal govern ment, the “Old North State” took a stand mid-way between her southern sister and the act of Congress. The tariff was labeled “impolitic, unjust and oppressive;” yet there was “a warm attachment to the Constitution of the United States.” South Caro lina’s nullification was considered PRUNOL, A MILDER Children’s LAXATIVE ‘revolutionary in its character. North Carolina took the “mid way” path. It thought the tariff bad but would not resist the federal gov ernment. It urged and supported “all constitutional means” for adjusting the “controversy between the State of South Carolina and the federal government.” Fort Bragg, July of the 94th Bakery Battalion (Q.M.C.), stationed at Fort Bragg is rolling in dough' The 72 men at work m the new bakery here, in three eight-hour shifts, turn out 28,000 pounds of bread each day. Additional figures, compiled upon investigation of just what materials go into the average eight-ounces-per- man ration, revealed the daily use of 18,800 pounds of flour, 520 pounds of lard, 520 pounds of powdered milk, 520 pounds of sugar, 330 pounds of yeasL 384 pounds of salt, 192 pounds of malt syrup, and 48 pounds of vine o-ar. The six huge Universal baking ovens are capable of making 600 pounds of bread each, through every 80 minutes. rush Rush orders for immediate delivery of cotton are piling up throughout the nation now but none of the na tion’s agricultural experts are prepar ed to estimate to what heights this emergency consumption may go. SECRET The U. S. Department of Commerce has ceased publication of statistical information on exports of American farm produce and will keep such in formation secret because of the war. Total noil-agricultural unemploy ment in this country has increased by 3,260,000 persons since May, 1940. ’iL ask for MENTHO •HULSIOH ^FOR COUGHS FROM COLDS that WON I TURN LOOSE ^ TAKE ONE SIP OF MENTHO-MULSION WAIT FIVE MINUTES IF YOU FAIL TO GET EXPECTED RELIEF K for your money BACK^ At Leading Druggists Everywhere (both parties were funeral directors) . . . .Bologna vs. Weiner (a meaty le gal problem?) ...Mr. John Sapp ap plied to a Court to change his name, claiming that his cognomen was de trimental to hjs business.

NEWS and FACTS... of Statewide Interest YOU CAN HELP! North Carolina’s legalized brewing industry wants no law-violating ele ment within its ranks. It wants no beer outlets that use their licenses to mask anti-social activities. Hence the consistent effort under the; “clean up or close up” campaign to eliminate the comparatively few beer retailers who do not respect the privilege of their licenses. In cooperation with law enforce ment agencies, our CJommittee has made progress. But our goal is a 100% law-abiding business and we insist that all retail beer outlets be able to withstand the searchlight of public scrutiny. You can help us attain this objective by patronizing the orderly outlets in your community and reporting any unlawful conditions to officials or to this Committee.
