SECTION TWO—: Weekly Devotional] Column By James Mackenzie The March issue of Reader’s Digest carries an interesting item on the re sults of studies conducted at Harvard University with regard to the causes of juvenile delinquency: Six out of ten juvenile delinquents have fathers who drink to excess. Many have mothers who drink to excess. Three out of four are permitted by parents to come and go as they please. Three out of five are from homes where there is discord between par ents. Seven out of ten are from homes where there is no group or family rec reation. Four out of five have parents who take no interest in the children’s friends. Four out of five delinquent boys say their mothers were indifferent to them. Three out of five delinquent boys say their fathers were indifferent to them. Many come from broiten families. Few get religious training of any kind. An indication that the situation is not getting any better comes from a survey conducted among high school students in Nassau County, New York, and reported in the March issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine. According to this survey, 79% of the youngsters in this country drink by the time they are 14, and 90% by the time they are 16 years old. About 75% of those who drink started at home, with parental blessing. Nine ty-five per cent of these parents pride themselves on their broadmindness, and permit their children to drink at home, and 84% permit them to drink elsewhere. More than half of these youngsters drink liquor while on dates. Now in these two surveys I find two facts that we might as well face: 1. Most juvenile delinquency can be! traced directly or indirectly to drink- 1 ing on the part of parents. 2. An easy majority of tomorrow’s parents already drink. Add these two facts together and you’ll get a third fact: We may look for an increase of juvenile delinquency in the future. Add these three facts together and you’ll come to this con-! elusion: It’s high time that some-1 thing was done about this perniciousj cancer that is eating away at the heart of our American system. As a student in Chicago I saw first hand what liquor can do to the human soul, 1 as I . worked among the alcoholics there. Men from fine families, col-! lege educated, reduced to sleeping in the gutter, going for days without any nourishment except that which is to; be found in liquor. I saw men who; hadn’t changed clothes nor had a bath for months; who so reeked of filth and stale whiskey that I had to hold my breath, in their presence. As a minis ter of the Gosnel I have seen, family after family broken and frustrated be cause one nr more of the parents, us ually the father, could not leave the; bottle alone. And whatever you may think of the father who drinks (and personally I feel nothing, but sym-! nathy for him), his wife and children j deserve a better chance than they are getting. Yes, it’s high time Christian peo ple became aroused, and made a united stand against the liquor traffic, that is threatening the very foundation of American society. j - t TAX COLLECTIONS Sheriff J. A. Bunch reported to the County Commissioners Monday that, 1953 taxes collected in February amounted to $7,696.77. This brought total 1953 taxes collected to date to $139,314.65. The larger the income, the harder it is to live within in. —Richard Whately. Knigl&ts of the II Round.

There are some five different ! types affecting chickens in North! Carolina. For control, first of all, 1 try to secure chicks from a source that is free or reasonably free of the di i sease. Then brood chicks away from | old hens and where there is no traffic from the old hen house to the brood er house or where traffic is not across j infected grounds and into the brooder | house. The main thing is to try to ! minimize the possibility of infection the first 12 weeks of the chick’s life, ! If this is done, leucosis will not cause [ the losses that otherwise would re rsult. Grow pullets on clean, green range. Place them in a laying house | that has been thoroughly cleaned, dis infected and rebedded with six inches !of sawdust, or preferably dry wood | i shavings. Have roosting racks en- I closed with Wire so that birds do not have ready access to droppings. Then support these measures of sanitation with a rigid culling program. The re-: moval: of all birds at the first sign l of leucosis will retard the spread of the disease in the laving house. Question: How can I recognize leu-1 | cosis in my chickens ? ■ Answer: : After birds have started to lay notice their eyes as you cull out j the non-producers. Grey eyes with an | irregular shaped pupil should be cull , ed. Do not mistake pear! eyes or i blue eyes or off-colored eyes for the ! ocular type of leucosis, but pay close attention to the shape of the pupil.

I Answer: There are many ways, hut ! you must be alert at all times. First. * sales of breeding, draft, and dairy ’ animals can he treated as sales of capital assets (land). Such sales ' should be reported on Schedule D. ' Only half of the gains (income) needi 1 be reported as Income. The require ments are that the ar.imals must have 1 been owned for one year and the ani mal must have been sold for draft, ' breeding or dairy purposes and not c primarily for sale in the ordinary ! course of the farm business. Second ly, when the sale of the farm includes ] the sale of the farmer’s residence and he buys property within one year as- i ter (or before) the sale, which he j uses as his new residence, the gain from the sale of the old residence may ,be excluded from the gross income pro vided the cost of the new residence equals or exceeds the sale price of the : old one. Also, the elderly farmer whd wants to ret’’ - , often parts with a large share of his life’s savings in in | conic taxes hv outright sale of his (farm. The installment sales method . (similar.-to-buying a ear on time) re duces taxes and maintains his invest mu.; in a safe place. The downpay ment cannot he more than 30 per cent of the selling price. The seller there after reports total yearly payment during the year received and is tax ed on only half of this amount. Question: Can I carry back and carry forward net operating losses on my farm? Answer: With lower farm prices and two dry years, many farmers have come up with a neb operating loss at the end of the year. If you show a net loss on your return for the cur rent year because of unprofitable farm operations, you can use this business loss to offset income in other years provided you do not have additional income during the year from other sources offsetting farm loss. Question: In filing my 1953 federal income tax can I deduct as an expense the food and supplies furnished hired labor? Answer: Board and food or sup plies furnished to hired labor is de ductible only to the extent that it was purchased by the farmer. This ex cludes food raised on the farm and used in boarding laborers. 125 Persons Receive Old Age Assistance According to the monthly report of Mrs. J. H. McMullan, county welfare superintendent, during February 125 persons in Chowan County received old age assistance in the amount of $3,150.

Gross revenues for January were re ported at $733,445, against $890,144 in | the first month of 1953, reflecting, it is pointed out. a decline in carloadings due to the dip in economic conditions nationally and severe weather in the territory. Operating expenses of the company, I however, were reduced from $786,752 in January 1953 to $621,749 in Janu ary 1954, which more than offset the drop in revenue.
