ABC REFERENDUM
I think that a Brunswick County ABC Com
mission should be installed so that the taxes de
rived from the saie of alcoholic beverages will
benefit all of the county.
DEVELOPMENT OF RIVERS and HARBORS
I pledge to fight pollution and to work for
projects to open our inlets.
SALES TAX
I think the tax' on food should be put on the
wholesaler and not on the retailer. This will re
lieve the merchants of the burden of collections.
SURPLUS FOOD
The Surplus Food Program will be reopened.
VETERANS BONUS
I will fight for the passage of a State Bonus
for veterans.

spectacular scenery, is the first world’s fair held in this
country since 1939 and is expected to draw tourists from
all parts of the world. If a trip to the Exposition is in your

WE GET a lot of strange requests, and one of the most
unusual is the one from the woman who called the oper
ator and said, Will you please ring my telephone? My
dog is outside and won’t come in. He comes running when
‘‘Th e3pS th^ »Pu°ne‘- Ten [mgs later, she reported back
Thanks a lot she said, with the barking of a dog in the
background. He s in now.” And that’s inct
“iuiv wc auswci every ciay. Cus
tomers sometimes ask us what they should
use to clean their telephones. The answer
a damp cloth is all that’s needed to keep the
phone clean and shining! Soap-and-water
treatment is risky since the water may get
into the set and put working parts out of
