Clam Digging ( Major Ind The North Carolina coastal fishermen are now gathering and shipping a big weekly tonnage of clams that are destined to be made into soups and chowder for the armed forces. With the work just beginning. Brunswick county gathered and shipped 12 tons of the product last week. Sixty pounds of clams make a bushel. They have heretofore always been spoken of in terms of bushel, half bushel and peck. The government calls for poundage instead of measure; hence they arc digging them by the tons. One big soup company is said to be the biggest buyer and to want all they" can get for the army and navy.

Cranmer was presented by his family on Tuesday afternoon during suitable ceremonies at the Brunswick county courthouse. John A. Stevens, wellknown attorney from Wilmington. presented the portrait for the family and Judge John J. Burney. presiding Superior Court judge, accepted in behalf of the court. The portrait was hung in a prominent place in the court room. Before members of the family and many friends who came for the presentation, Mr. Stevens gave a biographical sketch of Judge Cranmer. He was born in 1871 and even in his early years showed the traits which later were to distinguish him as an able jurist, declared Mr. Stevens. Admitted to the bar in the turn of the century, he formed a law partnership with the late R. W. Davis, Jr. This partnership was marked by mutual conifednce and real affection, said Mr. Stevens, in spite of the fact the one was Democrat and the other Republican. In 1917 he was elected to tne stale senate ana in lyzu was chosen by Governor Thos. W. Bickett over a great number of other able men tq fill the unexpired term of W. P. Stacy as judge of the eighth judical district. He was elected in 1922 and again in 1930.

Another woman who gave her name as Mrs. Haskell was arrested on charges of vagrancy. In another raid at about the same time James Robbins was arrested for selling whiskey at Robbins' Service Station.

Davis, assistant fisheries commissioner who . was here this week, said that the work was just starting out all along the coast. The clams are being dug at all points where fishermen can be found who wilj dig and sell them. On account of much labor being re- t quired to grade and pack the product, the buyers are moving them by truck and boat to points where labor grading and : packing, is available. . ATE I News paper I Southport, N. CM We Permit Farmers To Sell Excess Peas For Seed C. O. Bennett, Chairman Of A.A.A. Committee For Brunswick, Says Excess Production From 1942 Crop Can Be Sold As Seed THIS IS CHANGE FROM OLD PRACTICE This Provision Is Made In Anticipation Of Increase In Acreage Of Peanuts To Be Planted In 1943 Peanut producers of Brunswick county will be permitted to sell excess peanuts from the 1942 crop to other producers for use as seed in meeting 1943 production goals, it- was announced today by C. O. Bennett, chairman of the County AAA Committee. In the past, producers have been requir&l to divert excess I peanuts into oil channels or use them on their own farms. "Excess" peanuts are those produced over and above the acreage allotments for individual farms. Sale of excess nuts, the chairman said, is provided in an amendment to the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, and is designed to increase production of peanuts next year. The State's goal for 1943 has been set at 405,000 acres, including the allotment for edible trade nuts. Transfers of excess peanuts for seed are subject to approval of - . . > n 2 4A ~ 1 cne UOUni.y AAA anu producers must obtain certificates authorizing the sales before making transfers. Prices for sales under this provision are established at the applicable price for oil peanuts, plus a reasonable charge for handling the nuts. Chairman Bennett said the County AAA Committee would cooperate in every way possible with peanut producers who have excess peanuts thev wish Jo sell to other producers to be used for seed. More Information About Income Tax Official Information Contained In This Release Comes From U. S. Treasurery Department Every individual is allowed a credit against his net income which varies with his domestic status, that is, whether he is (a) a single person, (b) a married person living with husband or wife, or (c) a head of family. This credit is, known as personal exemption, and is shown on line 21 of the return Form 1040. The amount of the personal exemption also varies depending upon the period during which the taxpayer occupied the particular exemption status. The; personal exemption for a single persoh is $500 for the year; for a married person living wi^h< husband or wife, $1200; and for a "head of family," $1200. (Personal exemption as head of a family has1 no effect on liability to file a returnJ For Federal income tax purposes, widows widowers, divorcees, and married persons separated \by mutual consent, as well as persons who have never been married, are classed as single persons. A head of family is defined as "an individual who actually supports and maintains in one household one or more individuals who are closely connected with him by blood relationship, relationship by marriage or by adoption, and whose right to exercise family control and provide for these dependent individuals is based upon some moral or legal obligation." A single person, or a married person not living with husband or wife, may, therefore, enjoy a head of family exemption under certain conditions. Taxpayers using a Simplified Return (which is permitted if the gross income, for the year is $3,000 or less and derived solely from earnings from' employment and or from dividends, interest and annuities) obtain personal exemption based on their status as of July 1 of the year. Thus, a taxpayer married and living with husband or wife on July 1 is entitled to $1200 personal exemption on Form 1040A; if he were a widower on July 1, his exemption would be $500, irrespective of the date on. which he became a widower. The amount of the exemption, is not deductible from the income . but is reflected in the aihount of. tax shown in the tabli on the/ reverse side at the form..

The | meeting will be held at the Wacj camaw School House, near Ash, in Brunswick County, January 29. | In addition to the transaction j of regular business such as the | reports of officers and election of I the board of directors, Mr. Bishop [said, there will be appropriate enI tertainment and Gwyn B. Price, [ chairman of the N. C. Rural Electrification Authority, Raleigh, will address the meeting on the subject "North Carolina and Rural Electrification." Mr. Bishop stated that one of the highlights of the occasion will be the drawing of prizes by attending members at which time ten U. S. War Bonds will be awarded to the winners. The war will be a vivid background for the meeting, Mr. Bishop declared, "because a number of sons and husbands from among our membership are out there fighting ? and also because the nation looks to groups like ours for leadership in one of the biggest jobs on the home front ? producing food for victory." Members of the cooperative, numbering 1485 in the counties of Brunswick Columbus, Bladen and Robeson are aware of the tremendous help afforded by electricity '? fawn* Anaratinna ha rnnHniiari | Jn laiut wpviuwv/uu, ?.w wv. and in view of the critical food situation they have found new re- I solve in their efforts to produce j every possible ounce of food. They may count themselves fortunate in having electric service at a time when farm labor is scarce, he added, because thousands of farmers throughout the country weren't able to get the servict connections they wanted since shortages of copper, aluminum, steel and other materials necessitated restrictions on line construction. "The big problem now is to get service to farms located along existing lines and to find some way to supply the necessary appliances," Mr. Bishop said. "Electricity happens to be best fitted for processes that contribute' to the supplies of milk, poultry, eggs, meats and vegetables, so the more appliances we can place in productive service the more time we'll save, the more food we'll produce and (continued on page four) Tax Collector Matter Closed No Action Will Be Taken In Appointment Of Collector For 1943 Levy Until Near The End Of 1 Present Collector's Term Agitation over the office of Brunswick county tax collector 1 was ended here Monday when ; Commissioner O.

Jorgensen, or until the present tax collector is called to service; at that time, the commissioners to appoint the same officer for the 1943 levy, or make other arrangements. This motion was seconded by A. P. Russ. Upon motion by A. P. Russ, seconded by Chairman Mintz, one case of the whiskey recently confiscated by Brunswick county officers following the conviction of Charlie Hattem was ordered delivered to the Dosher Memorial Hospital for medicinal purposes; Other cases to be sold to the proper representative of the ABC board. A dissenting vote was cast by Bellamy. The report of County Auditor R. S. St. George was read and accepted. Save for the decision of members of the board to sell an old county building to A. W.
