The oofored people all attend ed their association at Poplar Springs last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They said there was a huge crowd, including darkles from as far away as New Yo^k and Indiana.

A revival was held last week at White Plains church, near Roar ing River. A good many from this section, including Mrs. Fish er Joynftr, attended some of the services.

The board of alderman of the town of Wilkesboro/ North Carolina are taking this opportunity of informing the taxpayer.^ of the town’s financial condition as of June 30, 1941, and also to .show the necessity of rai.sing the tax rate for the year 1941. We submit, herewith, a summary of the Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1941, which is copied from an audit report prepared by E. W. Smith, C. P. A., of Lenoir, North Carolina. ASSETS: Cash in Bank .’ ? 1,992.96 Uncollected Taxes .. 3,478.38 Uncollected Water Rents 509.90 Fixed Properties of all Kind 95,935.62 Total Assets ..$101,916.86 LIABILITIES AND SURPLUS: Prepaid 1941 Taxes (Deferred Income) $ 400.47 Notes Payable 4,100.CO Bonds Payable 87,000.00 Accounts payable (Judgments) ' 5,997.19 Reserve for Uncollected Taxes 3,478.38 Surplus 940.82 Total Liabilities and Surplus $101,916.86 The estimated revenue and expenditures for the year beginning July follows: 1, 1941 and ending June 30, 194?, is as Estimated Expenditures: ' Bonds, Notes, Interest Coupons, Interest on Judgments and Interest on Notes .._...$ 7,689.00 Administrative expenses, which include Water Department, Street and Police Department, based on previous year expenditures 4,800.00 Total $12,489.00 Estimated Revenue: Water Rents $ 3,200.00 Privilege License Miscellaneous Revenue State Intangible Tax 1941 Tax levy based on property valuation of $500,000.00 at a rate of $1.70 per $100.00 valuation .... 500.00 100.00 100.00 8,589.00 Total ...^ $12,489.00 Your attention is called to the fact that there will be a reduction in revenue from the rent of the Town Hall for the current year in amount of annroximately $1,000.00. It would require an increase in the tax rate of twenty-cents to take care of this los.s alone. There are judgments recorded airaiust the Town of Wilkesboro in amount of $5,997.19 with accrued inte>- and also other disputes concerning the property involved in the water shed, which will require additional cost. It is not the intention of your board to retire all of the judgments and accrued interest against the town during the current year, for it would be impossible to do so from the above ariticipitated revenue, but we do plan to curtail the outstanding indebtedness as much as possible with the funds received, and we also pledge to' cut the operating lost of the city government to a minimum.

C. G. Poindexter, CouQty Accountant GAS, ICKES, MORE GAS / If It were not for the fact that It would take from now on, we would favor a congressional In vestigation of the Impending gas oline sbortage. Congressional Investigations, like the WPA and the river, go On forever. But there are some very pecul- )iar aspects about the gasoline shortage. We haven’t measured the gas available and haven’t ev en had the Job done by our ope ratives, because they smoke and that is dangerous. So, you see. we can’t 'be called any authority on the subject. But the threatened gasoline shortage has been threatened now for several months, ever since .4ome tankers were transferred to Great Britain. \ In spite of that, only this week did the matter of building a pipe line from Louisiana to Greens boro get authorization from the president. Why couldn’t they have start ed the pipe line six months ago and by this time it would have been half completed? Or, has the administration tackled the problem like many others —■ through the economic philosophy of scarcity? The railroads came out with a statement about tw'o months, ago that they had 19,500 idle tank cars. On Tuesday Stanley Winhourne, North Carolina imiities commis sioner. said the three principal railroads in North Carolina had enough tank cars to supply the entire state. Why are tank cars not put to work hfiiling gasoline into the area where the shortage is threatened? We have been informed that the gasoline would be slightly higher hecauhe of increased cost of transportation by railroad tank cars. But who would not pry a very little more for gasoline rather than not get enough? Seems that the only way Har old the lek has hit upon to solve the problem is by scarcity. Has he forgotten that gasoline Is a wonderful source of revenue, which is badly needed with the debt around fifty some odd hll- ions? Has he forgotten that millions of people’s income in this nation depend upon keeping the wheels rolling and that the gasoline scarcity which he seems to enjoy so much would curtail the in comes of many people? Has he forgotten that a na tion becomes .strong h'y produc tion and that .scarcity *s a nega tive economy? Has he forgotten that incomes are the principal source of tax ation and that with smaller in comes people can’t very well pay ta.xes to finr.nce the defense pro gram? It was his bright (?) idea to close service station,= at seven p. m. to conserve gas. The effect was the opposite. It increased .gasoline consumption as much as ten per cent. It worked this way. A man going home in the afternoon would look rt his gas guage. It was low. He had enough provided it was not necessary to make an emergency trip that night, hut he filled up just in case. Later the wife saw the gas guage and suggested since they had a tenk full of gas that they ride around. Next day the same proceedure was followed through. Another thing that increased use of gasoline was the threat of rationing. Everybody has been trying to go everywhere because they feared they might • not be phle to travel later because of the lack of- gas. AND C'ENTS A big silver dollar and a little brown cent. Rolling along together they went. Rolling along the smooth side walk. When ihe dollar remarked (for the dollar can talk): You poor little cent, you cheap little mite. I’m bigger and more than twice as bright; I’m worth more than a hundred^- fold. And written on me in letters bold 's the motto drawn from the pious creed; Tn God We Trust,” which aU can read. "Yes, I know,” said the cent, a cheap little mite, and I know I’m not big nor good nor bright.’’ ‘And yet,” said the cent with a meek Ittle sigh, “You don’t go to church as often as I.” Have you paid your 1940 County Tax?"'

State College officials didn’t realize it at the time, hut Merit Awards Teach when they awarded certifier tes of meritorious service to three outstanding agriculturists. by pure coincidence they taught one of the essentials for .-.uccesstul farming. J. W. Kiker of Anson County was recognized for his work in corn breeding, ’T. J. W. Broome for his service of 20 years as farm agent in Union county and for his promotion of lespedeza, and A. O. McEachern of New Hanover county for developing fine dairy cattle. The work of these three men represents a complete program and cycle for successful agricul ture, according to A. G. Kjmrey, extension dairy specialist of N. C. State College. Explaining, he pionted out that Mr. Kiker developed corn which is the backbone of livestock feed ing. Mr. Broom promoted the use of lespedeza in North Carolina, representing hay and grazing, both highly essential for success In dairying. Finally, Mr. McEachern on his Eastern Carolina farm developed This .practical lesson might be put to good use in the State’s rapidly expanding dairy industry. I the State College specialist point ed out. Not only is it a good les son for the large dairyman, he added, but for the family owning just one cow. Plenty of home-grown feeds will aid In combatting rising pric es, Kimrey went on, affording larger mar.gins on the sale of milk and other dairy products.
