SECTION TWO Thel^oaridu^ s^^ Ik Bf WILBORNE HARRELL It is this writer’s impression that the principal reason for the use of parking meters, is to reg ulate parking and thereby ease the traffic situation —which is a constant problem today. They were not intended as a source of municipal revenue, or an un due tax or burden on the motor ist, although many motorists do abuse the privilege. But park ing meters are a privilege, and should so be considered by any thinking car owner. Yet the meter situation is viewed with a jaundiced eye by the motorist, who resents the necessity for paying for parking privileges; and the town officers zealously overdo their job of policing the meters, which aggravates the overall situation. It seems to me that if both police and motorist were more tolerant of one an other, and there were more give and take between the two, the meter situation would be better and smoother operated to the best advantage of all concerned. PHIL OSOPHER SAYS: We New, Free Publication Gives 10 Points For Cotton Production An increasing number of North Carolina cotton growers are set ting their sights on two bales or more per acre. To produce this higher yield, however, grow ers* know that they must follow a complete cotton production program. To help growers get their maximum yield, extension work ers at North Carolina State Col lege have outlined 10 points thatj they believe are essential for top cotton production. These points cover land, seed, planting, fertilization, weed con trol, cultivation, disease and' in- ■ sect control, defoliation, harvest Householders Must ! Report Wages Paid Householders, do you employ a maid, a baby-sitter (either arv adult or a teenager), a cook, I handyman, or other household ( help? Do you pay your help as pnugh as SSO in cash wages in; a .calendar quarter? As little as | $4.00 each week may amount to i $50.00 a quarter. If so, you arej required to report these wages for social security tax purposes, John T. Grooms, field represen tative of the Norfolk Social Se curitf office advises. Let’s take an example. Mrs. Brown employs Mary Smith to DON'T SCRATCH THAT ITCHI IN JUST 15 MINUTES. If the Itch needs scratching, your 48r bach at any drug store.

You no doubt saw our brand new flag flying in front of the neiald office on the Fourth. It was a much-needed replacement of the tattered but faithful Old Glory that had served us well for many years, but had become so worn and wind-whipped it had to be retired. “Old Oki nawa” I called ’er, because for some reason I can’t explain the flag reminded me of the famous Marine flag-raising on the island of Okinawa, during World War ll.' This historic episode is only one of the many incidents that have made our flag the well loved emblem of liberty and America—and our country great. So, when you see Old Glory whipping in the wind, give a thought, not so much for the flag itself, but for what it stands. What has happened to the ing and marketing. Essential information about each of the points has been summarized in a new publica tion titled “Cotton Production in North Carolina.” Free copies may be obtained from your county agricultural agent or by writing to the Department of Agricultural Information at State College, Raleigh. Although cotton is well into its growing season, the infor mation on such points as culti vation, disease and insect con trol, defoliation, harvesting and marketing can *sti(J be-‘ put to profitable use this year. come in and clean the house, two days each week and pays her $3.00 each day. This easily comes to $50.00 a calendar quar ter. Mrs. Brown should deduct three per cent from Miss Smith’s wages, add a like amount, and every three months send it to the nearest District Director of Internal Revenue with a report of the cash wages paid. Mr. Grooms explained that the Social Security Act states that the employer is responsible for reporting these wages for social security tax purposes if they to tal $50.00 or more in a calendar quarter. A calendar quarter is any three-mpnth period begin ning January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1 of each year. A penalty is required by the law for failure to make a timely re port when one is required, Mr. Grooms said. If you employ a household worker, contact your Social Se- great national game, baseball, on the local scene? Apparently it is the victim of decline in the same manner we saw the passing of the circus, the road show, vaude ville, traveling tent and stage shows. And now movies, the old standby of the entertainment world is in a sort of twilight zone, and is making a desperate stand for audience support. There is a reason for this enter tainment change, the greatest of which is the mass appeal TV has for the general public. With a flip of a switch, we have piped into our living rooms a diversity of programs—you just take your pick. And the lazi ness and lethargy of the aver age human is playing no small part in this show-biz revolution. Why bother to go out to a ball game, a movie, a play or a con cert, when we can get the same thing maybe better without leaving our easy chair? No compromise with communism! curity Office or the local office of the Internal Revnue Service.
