Newspaper coverage of this sensational case caused such widespread interest that Front Page Detective magazine now brings its readers all the exciting details in the August issue, on sale July 3. IN MEMORY OF TALLIE ANDERSON It's just* a year the twehty-eighth of May , Since our dear brother was tak en away It makes us so sad for he was the only brother we had; Just Apy, Jay, and me, we loved him with all our hearts And we now can sympathize with others who * With their loved ones have had to part. He left a wife and three little girls, a dear mother and dad Their hearts are aching yet for him, so many friends are sad We know not the reason for this loss We can only bring our burdeps to the Cross. 1 He had a wreck as you may know, but did not think he was hurt He tried to be brave and go on; for several days he suffered alone And then it seemed that he knew he had to go, For before he left he would sit and cry And, boys, he told his wife he wanted her to be saved And to rear their children right. I hope all the boys that read this, and a friend in Tallie had, Will give up- the things that will shorten your days And will someday make you sad. So boys, please, all take warn ing, and give your heart to Jesus, the only one who eaves, the one who never, never leaves us. Again we wish to thank our friends and neighbors, For their sympathy, kindness, cards and flowers, And we pray God's blessings up on you in all your toiling hours." BERTHA REDMOND A Sister.

There is rarely any charge for these per mits, although handy daily rec ord books are provided along with forms on which to report the acreage threshed and bushels obtained from this acreage.' Farmers and businessmen need information resulting from these records to makp their plans for better and safer farming. Also, county agricultural leaders need county totals and averages for their general program planning. The State Threshers' Law is the means for getting such informa tion on small grains. The purpose of this law Is for information and not for revenue. It Beeks cooperative aid and in terest and not compulsion or re sentment. Reliable plans must be developed from information orig inating at the farm; thus, the threshers' records provide the best basis for county grain sta tistics for program planning us age. The source and usage is within the county Itself. Opera tors must obtain from the Reg ister of Deeds: (1) Permit or license card; (2) Daily record book; and (3) Report blanks upon which to report their entire operations for the season. Pri vate and public machines, alike, are no exception or exemption, even for those outside the State if they operate inside North Car olina.

Steele Your Credit Jeweler DO YOUR FAMILY'S VITAMINS VANISH INTO THIN AIR? A check-up by our state health authorities reveals a serious Vitamin C deficiency in the diet of both children and grown-ups in our area. This vitamin is essential to vigorous health, yet it's often lost through wilting or over cooking. Our Home Service Specialists give you these suggestions to help you retain valuable Vitamin C: Be sure your leafy vegetables are stored promptly. (Vitamin vanishes in proportion as vegeta bles are allowed to wilt). Keep the outside leaves (the more color the more vitamins!) Cook closely covered, in as little water as possible.
