During this war the conservation and selling of timber is vital to a victorious end. After the wai timber will continue to be vital to both prosperity and health. One cannot learn too much about the southern pine woods. The exhibits and moving pictures being put on at Shallotte are for one purpose only, to be educational to the public. The pulpwood interests are providing the pictures and exhibits for the benefit of the folks .vho grow the timber. Admittance costs you nothing, if you can get there you owe it to yout-self to be at the Shallotte school Thursday night and you should urge your neighboring timber owner to go with y#U. Conservation District Important After The War The last of this month hearings will be held throughout this county on the subject of organizing the Lower Cape Fear Conservation District. Much of western and Piedmont North Carolina has already felt the tremendous benefit of such districts. The work to be done here is nothing new, although it will be different from that carried on in Western North Carolina. There it was mostly terracing and other work to prevent erosion of soil. The low coastal country does not need terracing, it needs drainage and drainage is the purpose aimed at in the organization of the Lower Cape Fear Soil Conservation District. Drainage in this county to permit of the escape of flood waters and to permit the regular standing water to escape from the swamps and marsh lands will open up a vast amount of new, and extremely fertile, farming lands. It should also contribute greatly to the general health conrUttAMB it - vuvtvtu cinuugii uil" eiiminanon of sources of wholesale mosquito production. As the county agent recently said: "The work that is planned for the Lower Cape Feat Soil Conservation District will be the most important post-wai work we can do." No Time Now For Political Bickering Speaking of candidates for Governor and not losing sight ol those who will be out for lessei offices this year, Carl Goerch publisher of the State Magazine at Raleigh, came out last week with some remarks to which all politically minded people shoulc take heed. In brief, Mr. Goercl suggested that candidates cut out the fanfare and ballyhoo, the us( of personalities, spite, etc. Hi! editorial appears so timely ant to the point it is reproduced ii full below: "Within a week or two, th< candidates for political office wil begin to campaign throughou various sections of Norah Caro Una. Outstanding among the candi dates are Clyde R. Hoey, Cam eron Morrison and Marvin Ritcl for the U. S. Senate; and Gregf Cherry and Ralph McDonald foi the Governoship. In due course o time, we'll undoubtedly havi other interesting announcements "We believe that the people o North Carolina are keenly inter ested as to who shall represen them in public office, but we d< not believe that the general pub lie is going to be particularly in terested in the old-time politica campaign. We have somethinj much more important to occup; our minds at the present time.

I mere is strung fviucnw unit the United States is abreast of Great Britain in the struggle to j pay the cost of the war so far 1 as possible from tax revenues. In j this countiy, latest estimates place total Federal revenues for I the current fiscal year at approximately $15,000.000,000. Total federal expenditures will be around $90,000,000,000. This is about the same revenue-cost ratio maintained by Britain, and is apparently the practical maxii mum. However, before we begin to ' brag about the sacrifice we are making in this country, we should consider just who is paying the taxes. Unfortunately, the burden is not distributed evenly. Politics has guided the enactment of our laws, with the result that large segments of tie voting population have been let off comparatively easy, while other groups, corporate enterprise in particular, have been subjected to a crushing burden. This is perhaps the main reason why we have so far not controlled inflation. The time has come to equalize the tax burden, not pass more punitive tax lavs. Once taxes are distributed fairly, problems of economy and inflation can be solved. Washington Mania The somewhat smug claim that : the "price and rationing svstem ' I is a success because everyone has! [been able to acquire the necessi' j ties of life," sounds a little ridi| culous. In a comparatively spar! sely settled, highly fertile land of I some three million square miles, | the people should be able to eat ?especially when they ore as intelligent and progressive as the | average American. That the country is eating in spite of and not because of mis' managed bureaus, is evidenced by ; [ the fact that in three years time j farm wages have increased 132 (, per cent, feed grains 113 per icent, while fluid milk pieces have increased 40 per cent. Livestock prices are also caught in the 'deadly squeeze. I: As once before, when farmers ; were forced to slaughter pigs while many people were going v hungry in the depression, they I again have to get rid of animals j t for causes beyond their control, and the public cannot buy the meat. And again, it is because of the Washington mania for overI regulation. ; SHEARS & PASTE f | j j i i INVASION SECRECY (Christian Science Monitor) J t! Berlin forecasts of a cross5 Channel invasion within two . weeks can be put down as Nazi . propaganda. Even if the Germans 1 had information that Britishy American preparations were comy plete, they could not be sure how long General Eisenhower might ,Jchoose to wait for the propitious 5 moment. s The object in predicting an eare ly invasion may be to arouse prei t ' mature hopes in the occupied countries and thus cause discouragement when the Allies fail to keep the schedule Berlin has-- so helpfully announced. If so. it is a ; plan that can cut two ways. The Allies by repeated feints, can keep the Germans alerted and under tension until they let down. Recent Commando raids and the bombing of coastal installations cannot have eased the anxiety of German commanders. Those who had thought that' the invasion would be signaled by a cessation of bombing in the interior in order to intensify the pornding of coastal defenses and communications have recently ] seen 'he Allied air forces showing strength enough to do both jobs. Moreover, possible spots for landings are so numerous that the Germans can read almost any raid as part of an invasion plan. The greatly increased range of Allied fighter planes which will provide the air umbrella has vastly increased the possibilities. With control of the sea, bold i sorties against the coast of Ger-1 many itself are not out of the question. Indeed, where the invasion will come must be even a 1 bigger worry for Berlin than1 when. OLD CHRISTMAS (News & Observer) There are still some people in North Carolina who from tradi-1 tion celebrate Old Christmas on j the 7th of January. In Rodanthe, the eastei-n-most village in the J State, the people observe January 6th, and at St. Helena, near Wilmine-ton. the Russian colony cele brabes on the 7th. It was the fourth century before the Gregorian calender fixed December 25th as the birth of the Christ. It was adopted later j by most countries, but there are still people in many places who hold that January 7th as the proper date. In an article in State. Willis G. Brigg says: My forefathers were living in the Camden and Currituck sections of North Carolina at that time (1752. the year England adopted December 25th) and my grandparents were born there j early in the last century. My j grandfather. Willis Grandy (18211899) never failed to remind the household on January 6 that this was "Old Christmas." In my childhood, Phyllis, Jane and other I faithful Negro servants and friends of the family never forgot that! "real Christmas" came 12 days after December 25. There's many a child who would love to have one parent who held to December 25th, and another to January 7th, so they J could hang' up their stockings i twice near the New Year and be able to sing on both observances: "I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to * men!" Beer Tax Revenue At All-Time High RALEIGH, Jan. 10.?The state collected $2,773,963.66 in beer taxes for the calendar year 1943, according to figures compiled by the Brewing Industry Foundation's North Carolina Committee. Despite wartime shortages, the 1943 total was an all-time peak. The state collected $2,688,7'*1.381 in 1942: $2,111,371.59 in 1941 and j $1,321,024.37 in 1940. ? MULES !( !!
