SEPTEMBER 4, 1947 LET THERE BE A REAL APPRAISAL In talk^ with Tax Supor\'isor Berios Johnson and his assistants wiio are to do the rc-appralsing of property In Harnett county begin ning this month, The News learns that value.s placed on property for taxation lange from 30 to 70 per cent of the real worth. That i.s a wide range—entirely too wide to permit of any equalization of tlie tax burden. It seems that when some property owuer.s list their holdings they are allowed to place the value at a fig ure of their own choosing, while In other ca.ses property of like value Is listed much higher. That much may be presumed In view of the revelations of the Tax Supervisor and his assistants. What is the purpose of the re appraisals? It is stated that the aim is to get all property on the books at a fair value. What is a fair value? That must be determined by the ap praisers. Can these appraisers go over the entire county and fix the 'values as they sliould be within the given time for their work—the first of next January? The answer is No. After they have completed their work, after conscien tiously doing the very best they know how, there will still be com plaints, many of th'em no doubt just, to come before the Commissioners. What Harnett county needs, as The News has emphasized, is an all- time Tax Commission to ferret out the inequalities and make adjust ments wherever necessary, and inci dentally placing all property that has been escaping its share of the tax burden on the books. The Supervisor has told us he has found Instances of this kind. HIGH QUALITY MEN FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT The beating of the man who escap ed from the Halifax prison camp Is one of the most disgraceful affairs that has happened In this State In recent years. There should be no let up in the investigation and the clear ing of the mess till the last one of those officers in any way guilty of participating in it is relieved of fur ther service. One officer Is said to have ad mitted that when the man “called me a story I popped him." No mat ter how aggravating the insulting language used by convicts maiy be come, it is to be presumed that our officers will not allow themselves to become so incensed .that they drop into the roughneck class and abuse the' prisoners. Convicts, it must be remembered, are not supposed to be the type of persons who will bo nice to the guards over them. It can bo expected that a person “serving time" for wrongdoing may resent even his oontinement. But those who are entrusted with the care of prisons, as well as all who are assuming the responsibility of enforcing and upholding the law, .re expected to be men whose tem perament is equal to that of the Judge who passes out the sentenc.o. A guard or any other officer who beats a prisoner simply because of nasty language Is not tit to serve in the capacity to which he has been placed. red wherever cotton grows. "Sow about u month before the time the first killing frost is expected in your section," our experiment stations ad'vlso. CLARENCE POE, Editor The Progresive Parmer, Raleigh, N. C. BARBECUE COMMUNITY NEWS SEVERELY REDUCED RATIONS FOR BRITAIN No matter how much the people of a proud nation may strut, sooner or later there comes a time when, short of change, they must still use something for money. And that seems to be what Great iBritaln—if we can still refer to her as Groat— is most short of. Already facing hard times 'by rea son of the economic crisis, our cou sins across the water have now reached the point whore they must "do on less”—leas, that is, than most people will agree it is nice to get along on. The people of Britain are now told they must actually go without many of the things which folks in a highly civilized country have always re garded as matter of course In the run of human necessities. Besides food, there are many items that'are cut to the point where they cun bo regarded as luxuries, and as for the actual luxuries there mustn’t be any, The Old Empire must save H.h dollars for ever harder times. The Socialist Labor Government which the British folks thought would prove to be a humdinger In bringing about better conditions for the masses lias fallen down com pletely, III pain terms, the unhappy nation is bankrupt. Auto rides for pleasure are ban ned. Clothing, housing, and all the rest arc fast dwindling out of the picture, if the coming winter proves ■ to be half as severe as last, there Is going to be suffering in Great Bri tain such as we’'ve heard about since the war in the countries that were overriden by Hitler and his gang. Britain not only wants Uncle Sam to loosen up on terms of the three and three-quarter billions we loaned her; she intimates that unless we let her have some more money she is likely to collapse. The drawing of that picture is not overdone, either. What to do about it? Well, let’s ask the. soldiers and sailors who saved us from being swamped in the great tonfUct, What would you do. Soldier, if your Buddy was In dis tress? Sure, you'd come to his aid with the last dollar you had in your pocket. That’s what we must do. We dare not let Britain go down. She ^has been such a buliyark to our Four Freedoms In the past. She CAN be again. And who will say we will never need her? Antioch Revival A series of ser,vices will begin at Antioch Church Sunday morning. Sept. 7, at 11 o'clock and continue each day for a week. After Sunday the services will be at 4:00 in the afternoon and 8:00 in the evening. Rev. J, Forrest Maxwell, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Erwin, will be the visiting preacher. The public is cordially Invited to attend th'ese services. Broadway Ramblings By BLANCHE JOHNSON WHAT DID ANCIENTS HAVE THAT WE HAVEN'T Our very good friend "Red" Pope, advertising manager of the Carolina Power & Light Company, comes up with some' of the most interesting stuff ^^o’vo ever read In advertise ments—and that’s saying something because perforce as well as without force we’ve read a lot of them. Mr. Pope tells us many things we'd never known, and probably would never learn if It wore not for his genius (and real knowledge and cleverness) in compiling Information that all users of electricity should learn, and which, even those who still Indulge In slave labor without the “quick juico" could be material ly benefited by learning. Well, this genius for pointing up facts and things and applying them to the good for what ails us all has related in one of his ads that poor old Pharaoh (we understand there wore several of them) got a load of horror when his favorite dish, of fish turned up smelly. If this court knows its fish,/‘and It think It do," a whale of a loti of the finny tribe are still turning up In a severe odoriferous condition. iBut the tale is. that old Pharaoh had spoiled fish because he had no refrigerator. These magnificent ma chines were not rationed In ancient days-^they just weren’t, period. At least so goes the story. But what we’d like to know is: how do we know the ancients had no means of refrigeration? We’ll grant that the likelihood Is they had no oloctrlclty, and that was bad. But that they did have some very cun ning scientists and artificers in those days is, we admit, beyond dispute. The ancients accomplished feats that cause us to stare In wonder ment. How they managed It is some thing we might well bo benefited by if we could only got on to it. For in stance: They concocted a poison so deadly and so lusting that it was smeared on kings’ tombs to serve as a “curse" upon those who violated them. When old King Tutankahmen’s grave was gone into and his personal effects were rifled, every last one of the grave robbers died, didn’t they? , When the rulers decided to build the pyramids (what for?) they put together the weird piles that have lasted to this day, and will probably last till the end of time. JBow? And at the building of King Solo mon’s Temple, the cunning artificers and v/orkers In fine metals and wood did such a perfect Job that when the pieces were put together there was not the sound of a hammer to bo heard. (It may be moan to say it, but we don’t seem to be able to get enough needed housing these days!) However, the story about the Pha raoh having to eat spoiled fish is so intriguing that this department here and now, as indeed is has done be fore, truly recommends to all keep ers of household and other places for refreshment that they adopt fully and completely the electric plan for preserving food in an edible condt- tlon.

If any thing, help gets “scarcer" every year. That’s why many people who had retired from tobacco work (so they thought) have 'become "unretlred."

I. home loans were answer ed recently by Veterans Administra tion. VA compiled the queries in a sur vey it conducted recently to learp how much veteians know about their Federal benefits. The questions and answers follow: Q. Where should a veteran go to get a G. I. home loan? A. He first must find a bank or savings and loan association or other private lenders willing to make the loan. Q. Where does the Veterans. Ad ministration come in? A. VA guarantees up to $4,000, but no more than half the loan, made by the private lender to the veteran. This guaranty helps protect the lender from KJss. VA does not lend money to the veteran. Q. How much can the veteran bor row? A. As much as the lender is will ing to lend, but the maximum VA guarantee will be $4,000. Q. What are some of the advan tages of a G. I. home loan to the vet eran ? A. (1) Because of the VA guaran ty, the lender is more willing to make a loan; (2) the VA guaranty encourages the lender to make the loan without requiring a down pay ment, and (3) the interest rate' (4 per cent maximum) Is low, Q. Doesn’t the veteran also get a gratuity payment of some kind? A. Yes, VA pa'j’s to the lender, for served refreshments consisting of cakes, candy and grape juice. * « • Entertains Sunday Btlmol Class On Saturday afternoon Miss Cleta 1 NOW . . . WHAT DO YOU THINK?

DELINQUENCY OF JUVENILES TIED TO LAX FAMILIES .lUDGE HAMILI’ON POIN’TS DIRECT TO FAIliURE OF PARBNT.S IN TRACING CAUSE OP SO MANY YOUNG.STER CRUMES Judge Luther Hamilton of More- head City did not deliver any sensa tional charge to the Grand Jury when Harnett Superior Court con vened for its September criminal term Tuesday morning. But -the judge, who has old-fashioned ideas of propriety, gave the jury a mes sage on a subject that Is now weigh ing heavily upon the minds and hearts of those who hold steadfast to the rigid rules uuder which men and women of honor and integrity have been brought lup. Judge Hamilton pointed directly credit to Jthe veteran’s loan, an ’ to tlie home as the place where ju- amount equal to 4 per cent of the guaranteed portion of the loan. For example, if the guaranteed portion is $3,000, the lender will receive $120 from VA to credit to the debt of file veteran. Q. Must the veteran have cash to make a down payment? A. No. But if a down payment is required by the lender, it will not prevent the veteran from obtaining a guaranteed loan. Q. Who pays the appraiser’s fee? A, The veteran. This fee usually is about $15 or $20. Q. Can a veteran join with a non- venile delinquency can be prevented, should be, and would be, if only pa rents would carry out their simple duty in setting examples for their children to emulate. The Judge de plored the tendency,, of mothers to forsake the home in order to* gain a place In the spotlight. He never did think much of women serving on Juries. ' The crime list has been swelled, he emphasized, not by a general de cline in public morals on the part of older people, but more especially by the hordes of youngsters who have fallen into evil ways. Cause of this LOCAL BANK WAS BUSY PLACE AS VETS CASH BONDS ALM08T ALL OF THEM ASK FOR CASH; ONLY FEW REJECTED BECAUSE OF DISCREPANCIES IX RECORD PAPERS The Bank of Lillington was the busiest place In town Tuesday, as the first day arrived on which vet erans of World War 11 could get their terminal leave bonds turned into casta.

I can point them out to anyone who cares to know. I remember how It was following the first World War. At the begin ning w'hen Ihe boys were going off" to Europe there was nothing too good for them, either then or when they should come home.
