Still On War Bond Honor Roll The Weldon Building and Loan Association kept its status on the honor roll for War Bond sales for the second successive month in 1943, it is aparent from the just published list released from Washington. In order tu stay on the honor roll which is <tept by the Federal Home Loan Adminis tration on a nationwide basis, a savings and loian institution must sell war bonds each month equi valent to one per cent of its own assets. The Weldon Building and L tan has been on in both January and February, the only months for which it has so far been releas ed. L. C. Draper, Secretary of the association indicated that there were 479 associations on the Feb ruary roll, demonstrating the growing influence of their war bond advertising and other promo tion efforts in the national drive to give an impetus to bond sell ing. To date the Weldon Building and Loan has sold $92,075.00 wor th of war bonds, “The war against inflation for which these bond sales are our chief ammunition is of utmost im portance to savings and loan in stitutions, whose chief concern is to teach people to save money and always to postpone some of their spending for definite objectives of security, home ownership, pre paredness for emergencies and1 preparedness for opportunities,"! said Mr. Draper. ' .Bouquets for Montgomery ff rr : , .m* 1 HIl PEOPLE Of- GABES crowded ground to shake General Montgomery by the hand as he entered this strategic Tun.sn, port after „s recent cap ore by the hard-dr.v.ntf British Eighth Army. This picture shows "Monts ' a " n m aouquets of Mowers from French girls after he had been presented with an Address of Welcome at (hih-s In Honor Of The Boys In Service From Halifax County Funds are being- raised through out the county to pay for a Mobile Blood Doner Unit, costing ¥2350.00 ami a station wagon for the doct ors and nurses, who accompany and operate it, the price of which is $1000.00. | The unit is one of the stand ard Mobile Equipments operating, from fixed Blood Doner Centers, located in large city hosnitals in various cities over the entire U nited States. The Mobile Unit op erates in an area of approximate ly sixty miles out from a fixed center to which it is attached. It is such a unit as is now in Richmond. Stationed there from the tenth to the fourteenth of this month. They are asking at this time for over a thousand pints of blood from Richmond and vicinity. There are in the entire United States 33 fixed Blood Doner cen ters, from 30 of which the blood is pocessed into dry plasma to be sent to the battle fronts. Operat ing throughout the nation there are 27 Mobile Units, all of which have been paid for but three and it is to pay for one of these three that funds are being raised from Halifax County, So much is known of the vital importance and need of blood plasm that any thing said in that regard would be superflous, as we all know what a large percent of our hoys are able to return home, because of it that otherwise could not. Most of us can not give our blood but we have an opportunity to have a part in this magnifieant work by helping to pay for some of the equipment. The blood i- riv en, the equipment has to be paid for. Both are needed, each is use less without the other. It is an illustration of the great democratic principle upon which our country rests. .All uniting and helping for the common good, and surely our greatest good is to pre serve the splendid manhood of our country. We all can help to bring our boys hack home, who are 'it-, orally giving their life’s blood for us. We won’t fail them. Negro Home Demonstration Clubs Are Patriotic There are twelve Negro Home Demonstration Clubs that have been busy buying War Bonds and Stamps during April. They pur chased two bonds amounting to 537.50 and War St; mps worth $1*0.00, making it a total of $127, 50. This shows an excellent .spirit of cooperation in the National War Effort and a determination to help carry the burden >f fi nancing the War. LESPEDEZA S. B. Randolph of Yancey Coun ty saved enough orchard grass seed to plant his needed acreage mil threshed about 400 pounds of lespedeza seed from one medium sized stack, says County Agent V. J. Goodman. Facing the uncertainties of o quipment and supplies and labor, farmers are doing their spring planting- in the American spirit,— ‘Damn the torpedoes; go ahead” -Chester C. Davis, It’s A People’s War We are paying more in taxes tlian ever before . . . and likely will pay more. But we cannot rely on taxes to finance the war. It would not be fair to base a tax on the average single fam ily income when many families have more than one income. We could borrow all the money from the banks, but for both eeonomic and social reasons this is undesirable. The gov ernment would then sacrifice its greatest dam against infla tion. This Is a People’s War and the people should finance it. The people WANT to finance it. Sale of War Bonds has mounted consistently since Pearl Harbor. They give their lives . . . You lend your money. Farm Reports Measurements Not Required Farmers of Halifax County will not be required to give lin ear measurements in reporting their compliance with provisions of the 1943 program of the Agri cultural Adjustment Agency, ac cording to W A. Kitchin, chair man of the County AAA Commit tee. It previously had been announc ed that performance reports shou'd be accompanied by a sketch map of the fields reported with linear measurements fur each field, the chairman said. The -ketch maps still are require, , .. I i list ing of the total acreage each individual fitdd will be necessary. "It was determined that listing of the linear measurements of each field probably would be the cause of considerable confusion, and it was decided that they would not be required,” Mr. Kitchin said. "However, the farmer will be re quired to show how he determin. ed the acreage in the field, whe ther measured by chains, steps, or from previous records of AAA measurements.” The plan of reporting 1943 per formance by individual writers was adopted on a nation wide scale by the AAA in an effort to save labor which otherwise would be engaged in active production and also gasoline and tires, lie said. In former years, AAA per formance was reported by com mitteemen, reports, or others em ployed by the AAA. rhairman Kitchin said AAA community committeemen will as sist farmers in making rep >rts and must approve all reports made from their communities. In addi tion, he said, some farms in t ach community will be spot cbeckei, by the committeemen or others. Farmers carrying out late prac tices for which a payment is made under the AAA program will be required to make a supplemental report at the close of the pro gram year on December 31st.

More Students Needed For War Work Training I Raleigh, May 13th—An urgent need for more enrollments in spec ial war training courses storting at North Carolina State College June 7th., with the Federal gov ernment paying all expenses ex cept subsistence was reported to day bv Director Edward \V. Rug gles of the College Extension Di vision. Scores of applications have been received, ibut, whim divided by classes, enrollment in certain courses is not yet high enough to justify starting those particular courses. Ruggles said, lie empha sized that prospective students should apply now for admittance in order to assure the offering of those curricula. Courses with vacancies for more students are aircraft inspect ion, architectural and marine drafting, chemical testing and inspection, fabric inspection and testing, engineering drawing and engineering fundamentals. The courses are open to men and women who are high school graduates or have the equivalent in practical training. Women, es pecially, Were urged by Ruggles to apply for the courses. Those completing a short course successfully will be aided in get ting jobs in essential war work. Hundreds of men and women have completed such courses at State College and been placed in lucra tive jobs with training which will he of great value in holding jobs after the war. Ruggles said the need for stu dents is particularly acute in ar chitectural and marine drafting, I chemcial testing and1 inspection, engineering drawing and engi* neering fundamentals.
