ON A RECENT AFTERNOON, when Mrs. Ruth Berbes, Chicago, was told that a pound of butter would cost S) .04, she decided it was time to do something about it Recalling the various fasts of the late Slohandas Candhi, a .hunger strike appeared to be an effective weapon.

(International) Vacation Travel Decline Is Predicted This Year The touri t reason in North Caro lina in l!H;i ina exceed that of 111-17 or ol l!l4(i but is not likely to do -o. in the opinion of the Slate ih i 1 1 i-im; Divi-ion. w hich is-ued .in a 1 1 a I i - ot reports it has re i eied in the past few months. ' We Hunk our only chance to exceed la I car's volume is to net a l.ii i.er -hare of the dollar w liieb will be tiawliiie, thi.s year," said -tatemeiil i-sueil by the division. "llouier, some aueneii's. such a the AAA. are prt dieting a larger I i a el ear " Dei line in vacationing was noted la-l summer. aii'iirdiiiM to the slate uii nl. It was variously blamed on a late -piini; and rising prices with 1 1 1 1 i-.i-i in-1 1 1 resistance on the part nl vacationists. "While rates in North Carolina probably are in line with other prices," said the laieiiii nl, "l he general high cosl of I iv in:', lias forced many Ameri cans to curtail pleasure spending and travel is one of the items to sti II er." The ciirlailment has taken I he form of shorter stays in many in--l.ince "Two week vacation faip ilic. cut down to a week, and some people substituted lii week-end trips for their traditional vacation There is at present no indication that the causes hack of this cur tailment have been ameriolraled. and 1 In ri fin there is no reason tor lis to believe that the rolise 1 1 1 if mi - w ill not continue." The division believes the dollar volume of travel business in North Carolina la-1 vear was as large as in the previous year, but attrib uted (lii to higher rates. "There weie nine contradictory elements in the reports we received," it con tinued "For instance, trallie into the Smokies equaled the prev ious vear, and traffic on the Parkway was greater, as it was also into the National Forest area. However, a very substantial part of this lialTic apparently was local, anil obviously of the day-use variet.v. Likewise, both the Grand-1 father and Chimney Hock toll roads j showed increased Iralfic over the previous year, while hotels nenrbv showed decreased registrations ' The 1 947 season in the moun tains actually did suffer from a late spring. The beaches did very well : in May and June, partly because of conventions. July started oil wilh ;. hung-up 4th of July wook j end for both sections. Thereafter came an inexplicable slump which lasted until the last week in the month. From then until Labor j Day, capacity business was enjoyed. I This same condition seems to have j prevailed throughout the country "The 1H48 season has started with rather light business in the Sandhills throughout the winter so far. Reports from Florida indicate a decline of around 25 to ;i(l per cent in registrations, though the severe weather in late January and February stimulated business some what. It should he remembered that in the past few yeais Norlh Carolina's i accommodations have Increased rapidly, and it is quite possible that complaints of poor business reflect, to some extent, this expansion Nags Head, for instance, has four new hotels, and patronage which in l!)3f might have overflowed tlu place can now he handled easily. The same is true of Atlantic lieach and many of the western resorts. Servicemen Have Some Special Tax Exemptions With the deadline for filing 1947 income tax returns drawing near, W. B. Bell, olTicer-in-charge of the Asheville Veterans Administration office reminded veterans today that some of them have tax exemp tions which do not apply to other civilians. Veterans, he said, do not have to pay Federal income tax on 1947 income received lor active military service below tile grade of commis sioned otficer. The first $1,500 of base pav received for active .serv ice as a commissioned officer Is ex empt also, he added. This applies equally, he continued, in cases where a veteran was released lrom active military duty during; the .vear or in instances where li was called back to duty, -it her jcrm aneiitly or for a temporary iteriod. The principle applies also to veteran-, drilling regularly as ivserv- ists. Mustei ing-iiul pav is tax exempt, asserted Mr. Hell, as well as con tributions by the (lovernnient to family allowances. The latter in clude not only pav. incuts to families of enlisted men in service but also subsistence payments to students training under either the C. I. Rill or Public Law Hi lor disabled vet erans. Also excluded from taxes are pensions and disability compensa tion to war veterans and their families, the VA representative de clared Hut while disability retire ment pav is tax tree, retirement pav other than that for disability is taxable and must be reported, he explained Veterans who want special help in preparing 11)47 lax returns should visit their nearest II.

I'a. ilT The local Woman's Club has organized a baby-sitters bureau to establish uniform procedure and wage rates plus a doctrine that forbids indis criminate "icebox raiding." The club bureau, which registers all high school girls seeking em ployment as baby-sit (ers, also frowns on tin- entertaining of com pany while on the job. The club members agree, how ever, that evening sitters should be taken home and some refresh ivtents provided. liasie wage rates are ,c cents an hour for day work, 25 cents an hour lor night duty up to midnight and 50 cents an hour thereafter.
