He is Secretary of. the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., and is shown before the House Ways and Means Committee where he testified on Treasury plans for raising! $3,500,000,000 for national defense. Said Morgenthau! "AU classes or citizens rich and poor shall bear their fair jhwwj Mirage Durham Life Wance Co. RALEIGH, N. C, protect the family" ank Harben w Resident Agent ' vaynesville, N. C. Here is another one of those lit tle incidents which pepper the routine of existence here. The top sergeant of our Company called the company out. There was a work detail to be done which he an nounced. Then he said it was to be done entirely by volunteers. Then he proceeded to walk up and down the line and singled individuals out, saying, "You are a volunteer!" C'est la guerre! It is estimated that the soldiers in training at Fort Jackson eat 1,250,000 eggs a month. With this as a yardstick, it isn't hard to imagine the other staggering fig ures which were recently computed at the Quartermasters. The whole of the, Fort is now on Field rations (which means that all men in what ever division or regiment get the same menu) so accurate figures can be made up. The .most stagger ing to me was the fact that this W.H.F. Millar Receives Letter From England Business Associate Writes Of Conditions And Attitude Toward America W. H. F. Millar, formerly of Chicago, who now resides here, received an interesting letter dat ed April 3rd, during the week from a business associate in London. Excerpts from the letter give a vivid picture of what life is in England. The following reveals something about the nights: "Ex cept on occasions our nights have been very much quieter this last fortnight. It is rather uncanny as it is quite difficult to go to sleep without at least having heard an Alert, though I must admit that an All Clear is preferable. There is no doubt we shall soon be able to sleep through anything. I don't know whether we should be proud er of our powers to keeping awake or of going to sleep." State Revenue Collections Hit All-Time Peak Revenue fund collections through April this fiscal year exceeded the total for all of 1939-40, when a new high record was established. Revenue Commissioner A. J. Maxwell reported that returns through April 30 totaled $40,8-10,-380.78 compared with 40,147, 108.85 for all of last fiscal year. Motor vehicle collections through April have aggregated $34,540, 737.73, making total state tax col lections $75,381,118.51 or 14.20 per cent more than the July-April per iled in 1939-40. ' i Returns from car taxes through April last year were $30,711,001.85. The sharp increase was attribut ed to national defense activity. , Returns for this month totaled $ki,5u5,202.15 or 25.93 per cent high er than in Apn 1940. Car license sales are also run hing well ahead of last year, with a total of 624,052 through April 30, 'compared with 5ii8,108 tor the pe- Mrs. Roy Medf ord . Heads Crabtree Iron Duff P. T. A.

Other officers are Mrs. Gay Bradshaw, vice president and Miss Edith Long, secretary and treas urer. The program committee in com posed of B. F. Nesbitt, chairman, Miss Emily Palmer and Mrs. Hugh Noland. The committee on finance and budgett is Mrs. L. 0. Ferguson, chairman, L. G. Doston, Miss Mary Davis and Mrs. T. C. Davis. The membership committe is headed by L. O. Ferguson as chair man, with Mrs. Will Bradshaw, H. R. Caldwell and C. T. Ferguson. Miss Adeline Rogers will hand le publicity. Mrs. G. C.

Dotson, Mrs. Kate Noland, Mrs. C. J. Mor row and Mrs. Frank Medford. Mrs. Medford announced the Hens Are Doing Their Part For National Defense The long arm of the National Defense Program has now reached out and tagged every hen, says C. F. Parrish, extension poultryman of N. C. State college. The U. S. Department of Agri culture has just launched a na tionwide drive to produce every possible egg from present laying flocks this spring and summer in order to keep this country as well as others which are resisting agres sion well-supplied. It has been pointed out that this goal can be achieved partly by am ple feeding of birds on hand and partly by filling up the nation's poultry houses with laying birds this fall. Present plans call for a six per cent increase in egg pro duction or about 10,000,000 cases of 30 dozen eggs each during the next 15 months, "Every farm family should pro duce enough eggs each week of the year to supply their family needs MARRIAGES remaining committees would be named after school starts in the fall. At the recent entertainment spon sored by the organization, a net profit of $22.40 was made. Jeffrie D. Freeman to Mae Bur gess, both of Waynesville. as well as a surplus for the De fense Program," Parrish pointed out. "This can be accomplished with little trouble and expense." In his May suggestions to poul try men, the State College specialist advised producers not to sell cut their flocks but to cull out the un profitable birds instead. W'here flocks are well fed, any bird that quits laying before September. should be removed and a pullet grown to replace her. Other suggestions he issued were: use goou leeu just as regu larly as when egg prices were high er; keep the flocks coel and well supplied with fresh water; treat the roost poles with used motor oil at least once every three weeks t control or prevent red mite In festation in the hen house; plant summer green feed crops now; and dispose of or pen the male birds. North Carolina has more than LO.000,000 acres of farm wood land, or more than 60 per cent of the total farm acreage, says R. W. Graeber, extension forester of N. C. State college. Observations on the rationing riod last year. problem were as follows: "This rationing business is a problem. nurjca ,io you- You know I was never very lonu ,ar over here They are Very of foods, was I, but I am having to take a considerable interest in mine and other people's stomach's now. Our canteen arrangements have not been too good so I am taking over the job myself and on the first of July our contractors go out and Aladdin takes over." "I am very fortunate in naying "After all, life is very good, m spite of difficulties and problems, and there is no doubt that this war has drawn us all very much closer together.

"One of our latest song hits is 'Thank You, Mr. Roosevelt,' and we mean it from the bottom of our hearts, not only Mr. Roosevelt, but to all those for whom he stands for." There is no end of surprizes that continually make some of us won der what kind of an army we are going to have. It has been an nounced that an 11-week program of dancing lessons has been plan nod for the men of the 30th Di vision at Fort Jackson, in the vari ous regimental recreation halls.
