Gregg Cherry, Gastonia attorney, legislator and 1944 gubernatorial candidate, asserted in an address to the Statesville Lions Cln! to night that "it would be the ut most folly to voluntarily alter our sources of taxation on tile theory that a wai-generated sur plus will solve all our financial problems f;om now on. “There are strong indications that, if North Carolina continues in its present excellent finanitet condition, it may very probably be possible to bring about safely some tax reductions,’’ said Major Cherry. "By the same token it is also probable the State will be able to expand the services properly demanded o fit.” ''But", pointed out the Gaston ian, “it is an obvious matter of common sense that the future fis cal policies of the State must in a large measure be determined by what happens in the future. They cannot he fixed inflexibly in ad vance now on the basis of a war economy which every thinking citizen knows is bound to be ma terially changed the minute the war is over.” Warning that “we may con ceivably once again face the problem of unemployment in N. Carolina when the postwar period arrives”, Major Cherry pointed out to his listeners that “the pres ent surplus of the state was cre ated from the sources of revenue fixed in the early ISKiO’s.” "It did not come about through any tax magic, but almost entire ly from increased revenues yield ed by virtually the same tax structure we had set up before the opening of the war era.

' "It behooves us to look before we leap, it would be exceedingly unwise to lay definite plans to ra dically disturb our tax structure until we are much more certain than we are at present want the future holds for us.

The service is available to all; operators of trucks, including farmers, merchants, highway freight lines, bus and taxicab companies, according to Harvey R Roseman, ODT District Man ager. Through its maintenance spec ialists in all key cities and main-; tenauce advisory committees and, sub - committees throughout the, country, the ODT can usually lo catecritical parts or tires within a few days, Mr. Roseman said. Mrs. Roseman pointed out, how . ever, that governmental aid in lo-l eating needed parts s strictly anj emergency service and will he of-1 fend only to operators who havoj exhausted every normal means of j i locating needed items. If every ef fort has been unsuccessful, how ever, operators may enlist the ODT aid by merely contacting the nearest ODT District Office or .Maintenance Advisory Committee.: or Sub-Committee, The request should include the name and man-j I ufacturer’s description of the I needed parts and the dealer's I name through whom the part has been ordered as well as a state ment of the attempts the opera-! tor lias made to locate the wanted item through regular channels. Locating the required part or, tire seldom takes more than a few days, at which time the truck operator will be advised of the name and address of the firm' from which it may be purchased. Treat Cotto i Seed For Better Stands i Germination of cotton semi and the treatment of the planting seed with ceresan to insure a better stand are two jobs that cotton growers can do now, say Exten sion specialists at North Carolina' Stat College. Some grower- ale1 havng their seed debated. The specialist; mggest that do ing jobs ahead of schedule will be of great help in solving 1944 labor problems. In addition to getting the seed ready for plant ing at this time, they also sug gest that a good seed bed be pie pared as early as possible ami that the l'ertilzer be applied a bout a week or ten days ahead of planting to help on labor and get the crop planted on time. Many growers have - offered losses from cotton wilt but are rapidly turning to wilt-re- -t.u.t varieties. Hoke County, winner of the 15*43 award for cotton im provement in the One-Variety program, s planting Toil bushels of Coker 100 wilt resistant strain No. 3 for planting seed in 1945. Strain No. 2 of this cotton made a clean sweep of all prizes in the 1943 5-acre cotton contest in S. Carolina. State College agronomists rec ommend 00 pounds of 5-10-5 pci acre for cotton under average conditions in The Coastal Plain and 500 pounds of 4-12-4 for the Piedmont. On potash deficient soils or following legumes cut for hay, they recommend 500 pounds of 4-8-3 in the Coastal Plain and 550 pounds of 3-9-9 for the Pied mont. On soils of high fertility or followng legumes for seed or turned under, they suggest 400 pounds of 2-10-6 in the Coastal Plain and 400 pounds of 3-12-6 in the Piedmont.

How to Keep Home-made Lard — Families that make their own lard will find that it keens much better for home use if it is put in half-gallon jars or 5 to 10 pound buckets. When a large lard stand full of lard if once broken r.to for home use it begins be coming rancid before it can all be used. Lard in small contain ers are distributed one at a time while the others are left unbrok en. If glass is used, store the jars in a dark place or in car tons. Black Marks on Waxed Floors Rubber heels often make black marks on waxed floors. If you have them cleaned with a cloth dampened in tuitpentine or a clean ing fluid. Even liquid wax may work. When the spots are remov ed revvax the floor. Odors in the Kitchen l\,o not grease is the grease that gives the unpleasant frying odor. Vegetables that are cooked just long enough give no unpleas ant odor. It is the over cooked vegetables that give the odor to which we object. N. C.
