TAXICAB GROUP
PLANS MEETING
s ■ —
Wilmington Officials To At
tend Winston-Salem
Session
With John E. Wenburg of Wil
mington, their vice-president, in
attendance, officers of the North
Carolina Taxicab association will
meet in Winston-Salem Wednesday
to lay plans for the passage of
a legiilative program whose chief
plank is regulation of taxi-cab
operation by the State Utilities
commission.
Marshall C. Kurfees, secretary
of the association, in announcing
the session, said yesterday that,
if the commission were empowered
to control taxis, it would approve
all rates and regulate operation
of companies in general.
Commission control would not
necessarily mean an increase in
prevailing rates, but would give
the comission power to pass upon
rates and operating procedures
in the light of the company earn
ing;, public necessity, and other ■
factors, he said.
The association will hold a gen- j
eral meeting in the Robert E.
Lee hotel. Winston-Salem, Wednes.
day night w|.h former Governor
J. C. B. Ehringhaus as the main
speaker.
The oldest penal institution of
its kind in the United States still
in use is the 141-vear-old Massa
chusetts State Prison at Boston.

THEATRE MOURNS
LAURETTE TAYLOR
Star Of “Peg O’ My Heart”
Dies In New York After
Long Illness
NEW YORK, Dec. 8 — (IP) —
Daurette Taylor, noted actress on
the American stage for nearly
four decades, died Saturday night
at the age of 62. She ha<j been ill
periodically for 10 years.
Miss Taylor’s stage popularity be
gan in 1910 in the play “Alias Jim
my Valentine” and two years later
she achieved international star
dom for her performance in "Peg
O’ My Heart.”
Several times she deserted the
stage for a few years and then re
turned to wm new acclaim. Her
last staring role was in “The Glass
Menagerie,” which opened in
Chicago in 1944 and closed here
several months ago.
In that production she played the
role of a former Southern belle who
became a frowzy but ambitious
mother. Her performance won her
the “best actress of the year”
award last year in a poll spon
sored by Variety, theatrical publi
cation.
Native New Yorker
A native of New York, Miss
Taylor began acting in school pro
grams and at the age of 12 was
receiving $5 and $10 for semi-pro
fessional appearances. She play
ed in vaudeville briefly and in 1903,
at the age of 19 played her first
dramatic part — the title role in
“The Child Wife.”
She married Charles A. Taylor,
author of “From Rags to Riches,”
while she was playing in that pro-!
duction, her second theatrical role.
They had two children. Marguerite
and Dwight. The latter has been a
Hollywood writer since 1930.
Miss Taylor’s maiden name was
Cooney, but she became Miss
Taylor on the stage after her mar
riage. She was divorced from
Taylor in 1910. The following year
■he married J- Hartley Manners,
a Bfoadway playwright. He died
in 1923.
Private funeral services will be
held Wednesda. She will be buried
at Woodlawn cemetery here be
sides th grave of Manners.
Strike Free
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 8— (/P) —
The end of the coal walkout Sun
day gave this big industrial town
ts first strike-free day In more
than a year.
The 1946 work stoppages includ
ed walkouts by steelworkers, coal
miners, electrical workers, power
company employes, hotel service
workers, bus drivers, ship builders
and farm equipment machinery
workers. Even Pittsburgh’s be
loved Pirates almost staged the
first strike in organized baseball
history.
But, a few hours after the coal
strike ended, 450 employes of the
Equitabte Gas Co. filed a 30-day
sides the grave of Manners.
NEW FARM AGENCY
SERVICING LOANS
Farmers Home Administra
tion Replaces Former
Federal Agencies
The Farmers Home Administra
tion, as authorized by the Congress,
began operation in North Carolina,
Nov. 1, according to Clifton R.
Dillard, FSA. Supervisor for New
Hanover and Pender counties, who
recently attended a meeting at
Raleigh of personnel who will direct
1 the affairs of the new agency.
FHA replaces both the Farm
Security Administration and the
Emergency Crop and Feed Loan
section of Farm Credit Adminis
tration, and takes over the per
sonnel and assets of both agencies.
Dillard said that for the time be
ing FHA offices will be maintain
ed with the same personnel at all
points where FKA ino ECFL have
operated. Both agencies have made
loans to small farmers and the new
agency will continue to serve this
group.
Also attending the meeting at
Raleigh were Ruth Parker, home
supervisor; W. F. King, former
field supervisor with ECFL. and
W. H. Robbins, community man
ager. Discussions were led by J.
B. Slack, state director of FHA,
and other members of the State
and Regional Officers.
Types Of Loans
Two types of loans will be made
by Farmers Home Administration,
Dillard said. Farm purchase
loans will be made to tenants,
sharecroppers, farm laborers, and
veterans with agricultural exper
ience and training. Loans can be
made for the purchase, develop
ment and improvement of family
type farms. The interest rate is
three and one half perf cent and
loans are repayable over a 40-year
period. A variable repayment
plan will make it possible for bor
rowers to make larger than aver
age payments in years when farm
income is high or above normal,
and less than average payments
in years when farm income is be
low normal.
Production and subsistence loans,
the second type, will be made to
farmers and stockmen for the pur
chase of livestock, farm equipment,
seed, fertilizer and other farm
home needs. Such loans can be
made to either owners or tenants
who live on and operate family
type farms and who derive the
major portion of their income from
farming. These loans carry an in
terest rate of five per cent and are
repayable in fro mone to five years.
To be eligible for an FHA loan
an applicant bust be unable to get
adequate financing on reasonale
terms from other credit sources
available in the community where
he lives, such as banks, insurance
companies and the Federal Land
Bank. "FHA is not in competition
with any existing credit source,
private or Federal,” Dillard said.
Applicants must be certified as eli
gible by a committee of three in
dividuals residing in the county
where he Ives, at least two of
whom must be farmers.
