State College, Raleigh, September 5 thru 9. /--CAPITAL REPORTER North Carolina’s famed 30th Di vision of the National Guard can expect a tap on the shoulder from Uncle Sam oy October 1. accord ing to a report here. Most of the Guardsmen here about had breathed a little easier when they heard a Tennessee com bat team of the 30th had been call ed up.

The Murphy and Wolcott are being introduced as a result of breeding work conducted coopera tively by the Station and the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Both varieties have a high degree of resistance to canker disease. The new varieties resulted from a cross of Weymouth and F-6. F-6 was obtained from a cross of Stan ley and Crabbe 4. The latter, a selection from the wild in eastern North Carolina, has been valuable in the breeding program chiefly as a carrier of canker resistance. The cross from which Murphy and Wolcott were obtained was made by the late Frederick V. Co ville of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The 900 seedlings will soon end. The entire defer ment policy will be spelled out more clearly w’hen government leaders set the balance between industrial and military needs for skilled personnel. • Federal income tax will be up ped on individuals by 10 to 15 per cent, effective in the last three months of 1950 and for all of 1951.

Huntington of Atkinson. The selections were made in 1940 by H H. Moon and E. B. Morrow. The circular was prepared by Morrow, who is research asso ciate professor of horticulture at State College, and George M. Dar row’, principal horticulturist, US DA. The authors say that both Murphy and Wolcott are as pro ductive as the Weymouth and both rank with Weymouth in berry size. The Wolcott is as early as the Weymouth and the Murphy is earlier than the June or Stanley. In addition, the Murphy has an excellent cluster type. Single copies of the eight-page illustrated publication, issued as Special Circular No. 10 of the Ex periment Station, may be obtain ed from the local county agent or by writing the Agricultural Edi tor, State College Station, Raleigh. Zebulon, N. C., Tuesday, August 29, 1950 Battery A Adds Over SII,OOO To Zebulon Payroll Over SI 1,000 has been added to the payroll of Zebulon in the past year by the National Guard, WO Clifford Gilliam said yesterday.

Edgar B. Fish er, who is pastor of Trinity Metho dist Church in Wilmington. Mr. Fisher is a member of a family long interested in the progress of the local Church, and it is con sidered very appropriate and for tunate that Mr. Fisher is to be the first revival preacher in the sanc tuary of the new Church. Services will be held at 8 p. m. from Sunday night through Friday night. All interested people from the churches of the community are most cordially invited to attend and participate in the services. A special invitation is given to the singers of the community to at tend and assist in the music. none of these were missing. The carpenter’s tools he feared were lost were all found safe in the trunk of his car, and none of the papers which were laying on the front seat had been disturbed. So far as officers could discov er, the car had not been driven, since Sawyer had the key and no evidences of it being “straight-wir ed” were found. Officers said it looked as though it had been push ed from town to the path. Investigation is continuing, but Police Chief Willie B. Hopkins said they had no leads to the iden ty of the thief yet.
