Commissioners: completed my twelth commissioner of Hali without missniir a sin on the first Monday ,,,th. May 1 say that Inivo been a (treat joy ,ni that I'll neve:- for- \ e you that it has been j a great honor and privilege to serve as a commissioner and i have enjoyed to the fullest extent the execution of my duties. My first remarks would he ones of commendation. The present Board is a group of splendid men headed in the right direction. It will grow greater than ever in service to the community, with the ! continued friendliness and aid of I the wonderful people of this coun ' ty. This Board is also to be com mended for its advancement of worthwhile projects and best in terests and welfare of the citizens it represents. Your zealousness and many other acts of service have shown that you are endeavoring to do a good job. Might I say this to you newer members of the Board: A member has various opportunities open to him. There is first, the leadership I that he acquires, which is a vital the old judge says ... “I wish you had been there to explain it. I didn’t hive the facts I needed to convince her, Judge.” "I know, Bob. I’ll drop in on my way home this afternoon and get it straightened out. Hilary’s reasonable when she hears the real truth on something she’s con cerned about.” ‘'What should I have told her, Judge?” “Simply this, Bob. It’s not fair to penalize the many for the actions of the few. Authori ties who have made an exhaustive study of the subject rejiort that only about 5% of those who drink abuse the privilege occa sionally. 95% drink sensibly. “Taking the privilege away from Lire 95% isn’t the answer. It’s not that simple. The real answer is education and better control. The responsible members of the distilling industry are working constantly toward that end. They don’t want anybody to abuse the use of their product any more than we do.’’ “That’s certainly a sensible solution. Judge. And it will work, if everybody co operates. We found out definitely that pro hibition wasn’t the answer, didn’t we?” This advertisement sponsored by Conference of Alcoholic Beverage Industries, Inc. BUT BONDS WILL HELP YOUR BOYS DO IT! * Your fighting men are paying back the Japs for Pearl Harbor, that "deed that will live in in famy.” But it’s a long way yet to Tokyo—where the final install ment will be collected.

And remember, when you buy Bonds you are saving for your future and the future of your country. Don’t put it off buy that extra Bond today. BUY AT LEAST AN EXTRA $100 WAR BOND TODAY! THIS AD SPONSORED BY The LEADER “Outfitters To The Entire Family" WELDON, NORTH CAROLINA_ and most important part of our' government, if we expect to carry! on the good work. Second, lie be gins to learn more about, his county, its ways, pe pie. etc. He realizes that some m., lie will pass on the job to someone else and that here is an opportunity to set the example. Third, he learns to be tolerant, expressing his own views and opinions and listening to othars. He learns to take part in his countys programs and to make himself master of various situations. The commissioners have a great task ahea, and I feel confident that you will find the way to march ahead with great strides towards the goal of making all people, both young and old, to be active, interested, loyal and faith ful members of their county, and by showing them how they can be of service, by giving them the chance to become interested, to study about, and learn about their governing body. In this way. you provide for the finest, most whole some fellowship that any county or local government can offer. Finally, I wish to take this op portunity to thank all the mem bers of the Board, both past and present, every person holding ol fice anil working for Half ax County, and my many othei friends for their whole hearted support and kindnesses to me dur ing my tenure of office. I do not believe that any county in the state of North Carolina has a more capable and efficient group of people working for its welfare. With such leaders, success is as sured even before the new term of office begins. i It has been a great experience and pleasure to work with you all and to leave you without a regret —but with the personal satisfaction that you will continue to make Halifax County one of the fore most and most progressive in this state. I wish you a continued and greater success than ever before. My Fellow Commissioners: Many things done over and. over again become habits and this meet ing has thus become habitual with me. I am sure that when the next meeting time rolls around, I shall find myself with you in thought if not reality. These have been happy years and our work has been most enjoyable. Perhaps some of the things we strove for went' undone, but when thinking of those things, I always am reminded of the poem; Before Gods footstool to confess A poor soul knelt and bowed his head; “ failed; he cried. The Master said, “Thou didst thy best— That is success.” I do not want to say goodbye for although I will not be a com missioner will still be a citizen of the community. I am sure that my successor will fill his office willingly and to the best of his ability and that our Board will be the best ever had. W. J. COLLIER. Woolen Clothes Need Extra Good Care Woolen clothing should be giv en especially good care under pre sent war time conditions so as to make it last as long as possible and remain in good condition, says Willie Hunter, Extension clothing specialist at State College. She suggests a soft brush as a good aid in keeping a suit or coat looking its best and that the brush be used after every wearing of the garment. Tiny, unseen particles of dust combine with the natural oils that wool absorbs from the skin and this combination makes the garment look shabby at a relative ly early date. “If a napped fabric gets wet, wait until it dries before brush ing it,” Miss Hunter says. “Brush gently in the direction otf the pile. However, around the collai and pockets, a stiffer brush will be needed.” When driving or sitting in a coat, it is well to unbutton the coat all the way, is another practi cal suggestion of Miss Hunter This is to relieve the strain on the seams and buttons, and prevent stretching the bacy. Overloading will stretch and strain pockets and often tear their corners. To prevent pencils and pens from jabbing holes in the garment, Miss Hunter suggests clips and well fitted caps. Throwing clothing around and laying it carelessly over a chair is bad practice, according to the clothing specialist. The coat or suit should be placed squarely on a hanger as soon as possible after being worn, is her suggestion.

November 10th—Fluct uations in local market prices re ceived by North Carolina farmers during the 30 day period ending October 15, were reported by I Clyde Willis, economist for the | State Department of Agriculture. | Although declines were noted in the index of prices received for grains, cotton and cottonseed, meal animals and miscellaneous crops, thees declines were more than off j set by increases in the dairy and ! dairy product indices and the heav ily weighted tobacco index, Willis said. The all crop index of prices received was higher on October 15 than that of a month earlier and was one point above that of the corresponding period ot last ; year. Prices received for cottonseed remained unchanged—at$50 per i ton during the period, the repot11 I shows. Lint cotton prices, howev er, declined from 21.4 to 21.2 cents per pound during the month, re sulting in a one point decline in the price index tor these commodi ties. The increase in prices received for oats and barley during the month was not enough to counter act declines in prices received for corn and rye, the report stated, so that the grain price index declined between September 15 and Octobor 15. Prices received per bushel on October 15, with changes from September 15 were as follows: Oats] up-four cents to $1.02; barley up two cents to $1.48; corn, off two! cents to $1.62; rye, off two cents, $1.86; and wheat, no change. Prices received by North Caro | lina farmers for chickens and eggs | continue to run lower than those | received on the same date last year, a trend that has been in ev idence since March. Increases shown over last months prices may be regarded as strictly seasonal. Prices received for eggs on Oct-1 ober 15 averaged 45.4 cents per I dozen, compared with 47.6 cents on ; October 15, of last year. Chickens averaged 25.3 cents per pound, compared with 26.8 cents for the same period last year._ WHEAT STOCKS LOWER Raleigh, November 16th—Wheat stocks in interior mills, elevators and warehouses are now 202,585, 000 bushels, four per cent lower than the 210,751,000 bushels at this time last year and about three fourths as large as in 1942, it was revealed by D. S. Coltrane, assist ant to the Commissioner of Agri culture.
