The mad rush to the altar of men in the military service here has hroue-ht about some unusual happenings and considerable turn about in military and marital pro ceedings. Last week a private of the 96th Coast Artillery (AA) regiment wanted to get married in the regi mental chapel but there was no a vailable organist a Lieut. Colonel of another regiment gave his ser vices. On another occasion a serg eant was to marry his hometown sweetheart, but there was no one to give the bride away. His bat tery commander graciously obliged. Though the holiday season is generally productive of numerous weddings, the war has broug-nt on a tremendous upswing in the num ber of marriages. Chaplain Josep.i Morrison of the 96th believes, however that the f iapcees are forcing the issue. The boys, the chaplain explains, are more inclined to postpone their marriages, but the girls seem im patient about making their matri monial ties. Chaplain Morrison of ferd no explanation, but the wise acres suggested "security" and "nothing to lose" as the reasons. While a good many of the sold iers' weddings have been held at the post chapels, many have been conducted at Wilmington, N. C, and still others in small South Carolina towns. In all, nearly one hundred marriages involving per sonnel of this camp have taken place during the holiday period. One private recently invited 30 of his batterymates to his wedding. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the boys lined up to give the bride the customary congratulatory kiss later, extending their felicita tions and osculations to the bridesmaids. ANSWERS If. A 1 II U Al M To Timely Farm Questions Question: Much is being writ ten and aid about the importance of Vitamin G or riboflavin in a poultry ration. What are the chief tourcei of this important vitamin? Answer: In poultry feeds, the principal carriers of Vitamin G are milk by-products, dried liver meal, alfalfa products, succulent green feed", yeast, and alcoholic distillers' bv-nroducts. the last mentioned offering an excellent opportunity from the standpoint of Vitamin G to compensate for the loss of milk products. Roy Dearstyne, head of the college poultry department, explains thai Vitamin G is essential for growth, livability, and reproduction of the fowl. Guest House Is More Popular Since The War Began Questio.i: Is there any such disease of cattle as "hollow tail" or "hollow horn?" Answer: To many who have asked this question, Fred M. Haig, professor of animal husbandry and dairying, has answered an em phatic "no." He says some people have been known to split the tail and bore holes in the horns of a sick cow, supposed to have an imaginary disease called "hollow tail" or "hollow horn," This is superstition belonging to the Dark Ages, Professor Haig says, is ter- ribbly cruel, and should never be practiced. Outbreak of the war has great ly increased the number of people using the Camp Davis, N. C. guest house, according to a report by the Senior Hostess, Miss Ruby Sat terfield, to the Commanding Gen eral. During the month after Decem ber 7, 900 persons registered at the guest house. Most were from New England and the Middle West. Change of station for many soldiers and substitution of 72 hour leaves for ten-day furloughs brought the folks down to see the soldiers who couldn't get home. Since the guest houte was open ed last June 13, its 28 rooms have been used bv 3127 people. The average stay of each guest was two days. The guest house has a particularly important place at Camp Davis because of the absence of any nearby facilities for visi tors. Guests at the camp have been given a variety of services. The service club staff has served as an information center and has made from one to three phone calls for each guest. Camp Davis was the first camp in the country to offer supervised tours of the reservation. "GUESS AGAIN" in ANSWERS Hrr.e 1. 10 points for (d) 2. 20 Dig ones for another (d).... 3.

State's Industrial Development Gets Much Attention Two Hundred Beer Licenses Revoked RALEIGH, Jan. 14. Two hun dred retail beer licenses have been revoked or denied renewal in 68 North Carolina counties on peti tion of the Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distributors Com mittee. v This means that 200 proprietors of anti-social beer outlets have been forced by local authorities to get out of the beer business as a part of the beer industry's "clean up or close up" campaign in North Question: Will any new farm machinery be available in 1942? Answer: David S. Weaver, ag ricultural engineer, says some new farm machinery will be avail able in 1942, but the supply will not be nearly as much as the de mand. For this reason he is urging farmers to ren?ir as much of their present equipment as possible and to take good care of what they hav o nhand. Also he is urging that all scrap iron and steel he col lected and sold to junk dealeis. RALEIGH, Jan. 14. North Carolina's industrial development, aggressively fostered by the com merce and industry and state ad vertising divisions of the Depart ment of Conservation and Devel opment , is attracting widespread attention. Indication of the extent of the development was contained in the annual report of Secretary of State Thad Eure, published recent ly, and made the subject of the lead editorial in the Florida Times Union of Jacksonville on Decem ber 8. Under the heading "Tar Heel Industrial Growth," the editorial follows in full: "North Carolina is putting on a demonstration in industrial devel opment from which other South ern States can learn a good lesson. "Secretary of State Thad Eure announces that a survey of the records of his department indi cates that the year 1941 has been crowded with activity, much of Poultry Short Courses Started At State College Sam Browne Belt Is No Longer Requisite Wearing of the officers' Sam Browne leather belt, with shoulder strap, no longer is required by the War Department, according to in formation received at Camp Davis Monday. In place of the leather belt, the officer now can wear a cloth belt, without the strap, if he desires. This type of belt has been used by the Air Corps officers for sev eral years. The directive stated that officers wjho desired could continue to wear the leather belt. Seed Collections For Gardens Cost From $3.35 to $6.50 RALEIGH, Jan. 14. A garden on every farm has been proclaimed a patriotic and economic "must" in the National war effort. To this end, a "Victory Garden" cam paign is being organized through out North Carolina and Jhe rest of the nation. As an important part of the "Victory Garden" campaign, the Extension horticulturists at N. C. State College, have made up a list of garden seeds needed to feed a family of five for a full year. Seed dealers in every part of the State have agreed to offer these seed collections in special packages, at a reduced rate when bought all at the same time. H. R. Niswonger, one of the horticulturists, says the prices of the garden seed collections range from $5.35 to $6.50, as quoted by dealers. The packages contain a bout 26 pounds of garden seed, which, if planted correctly and cul tivated nronerlv. will furnish an abundant supply of fresh veget ables for a farm family of live, with a surplus for canning and storage. "If a farmer buys this special garden seed package, he will save considerable money," Niswonger declared. "A comparison of prices quoted by dealers for the 26-pound collection, with seed catalogues listing the various seeds in sepa rate packages, shows that the seed would cost from $2.65 to $12 more when bought at intervals during tha garden planting season." The State College leaders said that county farm and home agents have information on the source of these special garden seed collec tions. They will help farm people to plant them. Technicians At Camp Davis Are Identical Twins Officers of the Camp Davis station hospital are thankful the Smith Brothers, John and Luther, enlisted technicians on duty in the same ward, work on different shifts, because the soldiers are identical twins and doctors and nurses in the ward, even after eight months, can't distinguish be tween them. John Dean Smith and Luther Dean Smith Jr., sons of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Dean Smith Sr., were born April 6, 1918, at Spartan burg, S. C. Not merely twins, but identical twins, the Smith boys have had identical experience in the military service. They enlisted March 18, 1937, at Spartanburg and the following month were sent to Fort Clayton Panama, where they were assigned to the Second Field Artillery. While at Fort Clayton, the twins were made privates, first class, on the same day. Discharged on completion o1 their enlistment in March, 1939 the Smiths sailed from Panama to Charleston, S. C. and enlisted in thp Res-ular Aimv Reserve. Both PKG. FOR TONY Caroline.

Bain announced. The charges ranged from illegal sale of whis key to disorder and public nuis ance which prompted neighbor hood complaint. Director Bain warned 273 deal ers to cease obnoxious practices or face more drastic action. In some instances, the retail dealers ignor ed the warnings and were later forced out of the beer business on revocation petitions. Field Representatives of the committee, Bain said, investigated 2506 retail outlets and re-checked 209 outlets which had been pre viously warned. YOUR OLD AUTO TAGS WILL HELP THE WAR FUND DURHAM, Jan. 14. In co-operation with the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Durham chapter of the American Red Cross has launched a campaign to salvage old automobile license tags to pro vide metal for use in defense in dustries, it was announced here. Proceeds of the sale of the scrap metal will be donated to the American Red Cross war fund campaign for a minimum of $50, 000,000, Chamber officiials de clared. Notices have been placed in the hands of the Carolina Motor Club for distribution to persons making purchases of new tags requesting that their old tags be given to the Red Cross. Officials said that the 13,000 motor vehicle owners in Durham could supply old plates with an aggregate weight of 65,- 000 pounds. Stamps Blue food stamps added approx imately $8,000,000 worth of farm products to the Mets of 3,300,000 persons eligible o receive public assistance during November. charters to new business. "During the year 661 domestic corporations were chartere with an aggregate authorized capital stock structure of more than $40, 000,000 and certificates of domes tication were issued to 106 out-of-state corporations, whose aggre gate authorized capital stock structure amounts to $919,000, 000. "This exceeds all records of the department for previous years. In 1940 the total for foreign corpora tions was $115,000,000. This, the Secretary of State says, is an ex cellent index for the regard in which North Carolina is now held by foreign capital seeking new territory within which to engage in various business. "A minimum of the 'fly-by-night' type of business is indicat ed by the work of the department in its regulation of the issuance, registration and sale of securities in the State. Violations reported, investigated and prosecuted during 1941 equalled the record low, and, according to Mr. Eure, North Car olina holds first place in the Na tion with fewest securities law violations imported. "From this record he concludes, and his department claims, that in North Carolina there is less fraud being practiced upon the inevsting public than in any other state. "Viewed from any angle, the record reported from Raleigh is one that any Southern State would be glad to possess. Some others may be able to show a larger ag gregate capital stock structure, but wide diversification and spread of the new industries is in dicated by the 661 charters issued. "That is evidence of the fact that North Carolina's department of industrial development is pro ceeding along wise and sound lines and making a marked success of the program the State has been pushing in recent years. "Diversification and decentrali zation of industries is a national need that has been claiming in creasing attention, especially since the depression descended upon the country following the crash of 1929. Subsequent experience con- RALEIGH, Jan. 14. Poultry products are at the top of the list of essential war foods. To help North Carolina farm people meet their obligations in the Food-foi-Freedom program, the State Col lege Extension Service has arrang ed a series of one-day district Poultry Short Courses. The first of these "chicken and egg schools" were held this week, on Monday in Columbus County and on Tuesday in Hartnett Coun tv. Twelve more of the schools will be held between now and Feb ruary 26. C. F. Parrish, Extension poul tryman at State College, says the short courses have been scheduled at locations convenient to all farm neoDle in North Carolina. He urges that rural families plan to attend the school nearest to their home. The dates and locations of the remaining 12 short courses are as follows: January 19, in the Swain County courthouse at Bryson City; January 20, in the Cleveland Count ycourthouse at Shelby; Jan uary 26. in the Burnsville High School, Yancey County; January 27, in the Alexander County court house at Taylorsville. February 2, in the Chowan High School at Small's Cross Roads, Chowan County; February 3, in the Trenton High School, Jones County; February 9, in the Bre vard High School, Transylvania County: February 10, in Anson County (pending); February 16, in the Yadkinville Theater at Yad kinville, Yadkin County; February 17, in the Randolph County court house, Asheboro; February 24, in the American Legion Hall at Wil son; and February 26, in the Per son County courthouse, Roxboro. Parrish said that egg shows are being held at each of the short courses, and prizes are bein? of fered for the best exhibits of a dozen brown eggs and a dozen white eggs. The Camp Davis post office has proved itself to be capable of deal ing with almost any problem. But a package recently received from Milwaukee was a poser. It was ad dressed simply to "Tony." There are several hundred Tonys in camp. The Navy trains mobile hospital units staffed by two doctors and four hospital corpsmen for use in epidemics and emergencies. were called back to duty on Feb ruary 7, 1941, reporting to Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and then to Camp Davis. Upon arriving at Camp Davis, the brothers were assigned to the medical detachment, station hos pital. Although they were placed on duty in the same ward, officers had the foresight to keep the Smiths separated. John was made day technician and Luther was as signed to duty as night technician. The identical twins maintained their identical Army record recent ly when they were promoted to the rank of corporal, and on the same day! It's hard enough to distinguish between all the unrelated Smiths at Camp Davis, but it's twice as difficult to keep track of a couple of identical Smiths. It's fortunate, though, that the Smith brothers have jobs that are as different as night and day. Dried A new method of drying sweet potatoes has been developed at the Alabama Experiment Station by using cheap drying surfaces and nature instead of machinery.
