PAGE 2 MANY COUNTif TO SEEK RELIEF Jo Send Delegates To Conference on Property Tax Relief At Raleigh A GENERAL DISCUSSION ASHEVILLE, March 27.?More than half of North Carolina's 100 counties are expected to De represented by delegations at the conference on property tax relief, to be held in Raleigh on March 31 and April 1, according to J. Frazier Glenn of this city, general chairman of the Buncombe County Association for Property Tax Relief, which has called the meeting. The bars will be thrown down for a general discussion of the entire subject of state and local taxation, Judge Glenn said. Although the Buncombe county association has adopted resolutions favoring the financing of all public schools through state-wide funus, the adoption of some form of sales tax, and the setting up of a state board of control for municipalities, these will be regarded only as suggestions to be passed on to the state conference, Judge Glenn said. The meeting also will be asked to decide as to the advisability of asking for a special session of the general assembly to enact tax reform legislation. The conference will be held in the ballroom of the Sir Walter Hotel starting ai 11 a. m. uu March 31, and is expected to continue for two days. "The subject of property tax abatement," Judge Glenn said, "has developed widespread discussion throughout the state, and many prominent citizens are taking an active part in searching for the best forms of relief. The general purpose of the conference is to reach a common ground of agreement upon which forms the property tax relief program shall take, so that a uniform objective shall be developed and made the basis of procedure in all the counties." GRAINS OF SALT By SANDRA AN OLD WOMAN WHO KEEPS YOUNG Mrs. Brown is seventy. She looks not a day over fifty. I didn't believe her real age until I saw Bible proof. Wear the rusty black of respectable old age? I should say not. Yesterday when she called on me she wore a tan sport coat, plain sensible brown shoes, with hat and gloves to match. She has a style all her own?no aping of the younger generation either. She has had plenty of hard knocks. As a young girl she was a trained nurse. Later she married a poor man, and raised a family of seven children. Four girls; all had careers, and now are married. Three boys; one is a doctor, another a lawyer, and another is a farmer. Each is good at his job. They are all trained for something. Mrs. Brown admits she married her husband for love, and that he j was poor. She thinks she might have loved a rich man just as well had he appeared on the scene. As it was she chose the very best one who wooed her. Her husband was a farmer, and she worked shoulder to shoulder with him, boasts that she can run a good furrow. She cooked, washed, Prote The day by day given to building a swept away in hou Good will is the oi burn, but your gooc you very much if j sition to carry on. ance comes in. Be Pn CITIZENS INSUBANI R.

To each of the children's in- 1 vitation that she make a home with c them, she refused. t "But, mother," they said, "It is our duty. We owe it to you. You { have worked hard. Now let us make you comfortable for the rest of your x life." r Mrs. Brown (that is not her real name) was furious. "Owe me? Owe s me? For what? I only did my duty t in giving you an education to enable t you to make your own place in the f world. You certainly owe me nothing because I happened to be your | mother?although I am rather proud of it. But you had no choice in the matter. You were not consulted, and why should I, because I bore you, levy you with a lifetime of debt of t duty to me?" c Mrs. Brown continued to me, "I e have heard women say of their chil- 1 , dren that even though they gave c their whole lite into sei-vice of their t mother, they would never repay them for their sacrifice in bearing v them. I could never trade in that s coin, and keep my self respect. Be- t sides I had finished my duty by my ? children. They must now live their own lives. All I want is to live my own life in my own way. J She came to the city. It wasn't easy to keep pace with younger e nurses who were always studying. s But practical nurses were needed, s and gradually she worked up a clien- c tiele.

And quick t the answer came back, "When I am oW." f "Ah, I see," I replied, "You have found the fountain of Youth. If at seventy, you speak of 'when I am ^ old'. May I know the secret?" "Really, I don't know," she parried, "I have been too busy all my life to think about getting old, and I just haven't gotten the old age vantage point. My Phylosophy?

Gives Simple Rules For Healthy Chicks The essentials in growing heal - - - - . ??i i_ hy chicks may be inciuaea m lean eggs, clean incubators, disase-free stock, clean brooder louses, fresh range, clean litter, lean feed and clean managenent. "Right now is the busy season pith the Carolina poultryman," ayi: C. F. Parrish, extension poulry specialist at State College. Profits for next year are based on i-hat is done this spring, and the 'try first essential in producing lealthy chicks is to have clean ggs. If there is danger of the hell being contaminated with om3 disease, treat it with a merury solution for five minutes beore placing it in the incubator." Clean eggs then should be placd in clean incubators. This mahine needs to be disinfected with ull strength formalin and the lursery and egg trays scrubbed pith bichloride of mercury before he eggs are added. Then, the ;ggs should by all means come rom strong, disease-free stock. Ir. Parris urges growers to insist >n North Carolina accredited eggs.

Clean brooder houses are also important. Scrub them with a strong lye solution and move to new ground where chicks have not been reared. Also clean all of the equipment used in the house. Where poultry is kept as a side line on the farm it is a good idea to make all , the brooder houses portable, saj-s Mr. Parrish. It is also advisable to anticipate the fresh ra,nge and plant it in alfalfa, clovers, rye, wheat, barley or rape to supply green feed. Clean fresh straw and shavings are best for litter in the brooder house and toe right amount of feed should be given in containers that cannot be fouled by the chicks, says Mr. Parrish.

Among the lima beans, j Henderson's Bush and Fordhook art good varieties. Every garden should have some early sweet corn.
