Maxwell boll weevil infestation has been causinar a ereat amount of dnm- age to the cotton fields all over the Mate. The excessive rains have had a tendency to produce a larire weed which has shaded the cotton fields and made condition ideal for increase of boll weevil infesation. Reports coverintr 77 fields from 20 of the different counties show ing a percentage all the way from zero to 98 percent. Fifty fields showed an average of mora than ten percent of infestation witn the highest average percentage in Bertie, Hoke, Lenoir, Halifax, Scotland, and Edgecombe Coun ties. The state average for last week was 21.5 per c?nt. Many of our farmers here in Carteret County also have a heavy weed growth and show a heavy infesta tion of boll weevil. If thees condi tions continue it is quite evident that our coton yields will be greas ly reduced. S ,'.;(. , , 1 V f j"" -J"jLmjii ,i.irii n . Cpl. CLARENCE FULCHER( lef, ,d Snu Daniel W.

Government, to slaughter livestock are being asked to submit by August 10, evi dence of the amount of livestock slaughtered during the period up on which their current quotas are based, it was announced today by B. J. May, Chairman of the Carter et County War Meat Committee. This requirement is in accord ance with a ruling of the War Food Administration. Purpose of the rul ing is to establish a more uniform system of permits and quotas and also to adjust those quotas already issued in such a way that they will standardized in all sections of the country. Because of the rapidity with which the permits orierinallv were issued, the policy in granting the quotas varied somewhat from section to section. ' . The new requirement is contain ed in FDO 27.3. Submission of the evidence must be made to the County War Meat Committee of the County War Board where the permit was issued. The evidence must substantiate the amount of slaughterer's 1941 slaughter, or, if he did not slaughter during the corresponding period of 1941, ho must submit evidence of his 1942 slaughter. The permit of any local slaugh terer or butcher who fails to fur nish such evidence of his 1942 slaughter. The permit of any local slaught erer or butcher who fails to fur nish such evidence on time may be revoked by the Director of FDA. The evidence, which will form the basis for any necessary adiust- LIBRARY NEEDS PRESENTED TO COUNTYBOARD Board Votes 2-2 On Appropriation County Commissioners spent two hours of their monthly session on Monday hearing petitions on behalf of Carteret Library and dis cussing and clarifying the library situation.

This plus the state aid of $1125 would make the library assured for the com ing year and give the County a dollar of value for every fifty cents invested Chairman Bonner presented the various demands made on the County treasury that would seem to prohibit such an appropriation, the ladies rebutted.

Only the amount of livestock ed ud. Tilton Davis, of Harkpra Island gave the motion his second. When brought to a vote, the com missioners divided two and two on the subject, and the matter was at a standstill. The Clerk of the Court expects to appoint a com missioner to represent the west ern part of the County in the place of the late W. Z. McCabe before the September meeting..

TAXIS RATION BOARD REORGANIZED BY MR. WOODLAND Board Expanded ' Considerably For Convenience of Citizen's Served An organizational meeting Was Callpfl last Frirlav mron ing by Stanley Woodland, newlv armnintflrl Chairmr,n ot the Carteret Countv War rnce and Rationing Board, who succeeds H. C, .Tnna re cently resigned. air. Woodland ha3 reorganized the Board into oanels for specialized attention in each re spective field. Chairmen of these panels together with Mr. Wood land constitute the new Adminia. trative Board. This divides duties formerly handled by a three man Board between eight Danels eao.h one of which will have four or five men. ew members have already been appointed, sworn in, assigned to their respective panels, and Charman Woodland expects, when a few rough places are ironed out, to have the Board serving the County more efficiently and more conveniently to the citizens than ever before. Under the' new" organization, it is planned to have many matters handled bv the offica without He- the delay of reference to the Board and certain matters will be handl ed without an applcant having to appear in person, as, for instance, renewal oi supplemental gas books will be handled on application without a personal appearance. The following is the list of mem bers already sworn and the panels on which they will serve. Addi tions are expected to be made lat er to some of these: Communiay Service: Alfonso James. Gai Panel: Alonzo Willis, Chair man, Cecil Morris, M. T. Mills, George R. Wallace. Tire Panel: J. P. Betts, Chair man, Paul Webb, D. Ira Garner. Price Panel: Mrs. M. L. Davis, Mrs. M. S. Snowden, Earl Freeman Otis Willis. Fuel Oil Panel: Clvde Jnnoa Chairman, C. M. Hill. James Davis. T. T. Potter. Food Panel: A. B. Roberts, Chairman, Paul Jones. Lcslia Moore. Hearing Panel: W. M. Webb, Chairman, R. H. Casson, Alfonso James. Section Bae: Lt. R. H. Casson, Chairman, Lt. Garrigues, Comdr. Baskett. On Monday, the general feeling of the opposition, as expressed, was fear of increase of the ta owned at the time of slaughter j rate but tne sentiment of thoso should ho nffaroA fn it was that so small amount snouia he offered for conwdera tion. Likewise, plant capacity is of little significance as evidence since very few plants operate for an ex tended period at capacity. 72 -1 o 73 Crop Rotation E. C. Blair, Extension agrono mist, Raleigh, was in the County yesterday and visited the crop ro tations being carried out in the 71 : County. Mr. Blair was well pleased 74 with the way that thi:03 rotations 77 were being followed and the con could not even make an infinitesi mal increase necessary, and that the budget as presented at the meeting contained enough latitude in it as stands to make the appro priation possible. In addition to discussion of the library situation, Board members made a few tax adjustments and recessed. ...89 ...91 ...88 ...90 ...89 91 ...89 ...89 ...88 ...89 ...89 88 ...87 ...92 89 90 76 75 74 75 71 78 79 74 73 78 80 68 71 74 75 74 75 76 77 74 dition of the crops on these farms. A wel planned crop rotation th.it is followed each year will greatly assist in the building of the soil fertility as well as help in the control of insects and diseases. ANNIVERSARY Mrs. Julia Thomas brated her first wedding anniver sary on Tuesday evening at six when with members of her familv she drank a toast to her husband, Iceland, and he n turn with a group Captain J. B Sebes. on dutv in of close friends celebrated with a toast to her nt the same moment although the clock there showed the-same time to be four hours later. , EUDY BUYS HOME Ralph Eudy, of the City Barber Shop, this week purchased the H. L. Lundquist home on Ann Street Extension. He expects to move his family into it this month. REVIVAL AT TUTTLE GROVE The annual revival meeting be gan Monday night in the Tuttle Grove Methodist Chuch with Rev. Lester Jackson of El Paso, exas assisting the pastor, Rev. C. Jer ome Huneycutt. Rev. Mr. Ja.-kson is a graduate of the Texas College or Mines and is at present study ing in the Duke Divinitv Sebonl His excellent preaching and sing ing is enjoyed by all that hear him. The Meeting will continue through Saturday nieht with Knee. ial music each evening. Beaufort taxis are oneratinw but five Morehead City taxis, companies, which also oneraho in this area, announce discontir.uanro of service "effective August 2 as a result of the gasoline shortage. service cannot be resumed until further gasoline supplies are avail able." , According to Mr. A. H. James, Community Service Chairman for the Board, all taxis in this District are ateated the same. There is an allowance of 5 gallons of gas daily. ODT rules that this provides necessary gas for essential trans portation. Travel of soldiers an ! defense workers to and from the i. i. t , , . . , .... . ucutn ana travel inciaent to US'l.! onfiirifiAA .

We have been informed. however, that thees operators ha, a reserve of gasoline and that tlu service will be available for the week-ends as formerly. Mr. Stanley Woodland, new Administrative Chairman of ths Ration Board, feels that greater effort will have to be made Oil the part of taxi men to organize on a basis that will permit them to lump their "fares" as they do in cities in order to conserve gas. In many places, taxis are not allowed to operate with one passenger but must wait until loaded to capacity. While Mr. Woodland recognizes inconveniences that such can cause, it is perhaps more conven ient to suffer some delay than to have no taxis. Capt. C. E. Case On Town Board At the monthly meeting of the Board of Town Commissi Monday evening, Capt. C. E. Case was aDDointed t n sown fin the Board in the nlaep nf Palvin Jones who resigned his seat be cause ne is serving as a Notary Public.
