SIGN YOUR PLEDGE Uncle Sam, 1b this War effort, most know from every production plant Just how many guns, tanks, plaoea and ships he can expect to receive within the next few months as that he can lay his battle plans accordingly. By the same token h* most know from the people of thr> nation just how many dollars he can expect to receive voluntarily in the purchase of U. S. Savings Bonds, so that he can lay his tax plans accordingly, to pay for the War cost. The more dollars voluntarily pledged for the purchase of Bonds, the less will be the tax load. With this in jiiind, the Treasury Department is conducting a nationwide inventory by states wherein every income earner is being asked to sign a Pledge indicating how much ' he will lend from that income to buy Savings Bonds. The pledge campaign in North Carolina is to be conducted next week—May 4-9. This community is a local sector of the state and nation-wide battle front. The voluntary workers in the campaign are civilian soldiers serving without pay, glory or thanks, and are as surely fighting a battle for freedom as the soldiers on the battle fronts. They are conducting a campaign which we a-. a nation cannot afford to lose. Their only weapon is a Pledge Card and a cheery word. They will offer every income earner the privilege and opportunity to pledge an investment in the safest ride in the world, the United States Government Every person who is financially able should sop port this Pledge Campaign to his or her utmost financial ability. The-Fledge is entirely voluntary on your part, but upon the success of this campaign will depend the freedom of America, for without the tanks and guns and supplies to be purchased by your investment, your Pledge, we cannot win this war. So join willingly, cheerfully, in this mobilization of American dollars, so that America will continue to be free. Sign the Pledge and do YOUR Drying Of Vegetables, Fruits Has Advantages Home drying is * satisfactory method of prseeriliig certain fruit* and vegetables, says Was Ruby Seholx, Extension conservationist of N. C. State College. Used as a supplement to canning said storage, it will reduce the cost of tin food budget and provide an adequate variety of foo* tor winter use, she pointed out Seme «f the advantages of drytag, or dehydration, listed by Miss Scholz are: The product's weight is only one-fourth to one-ninth of the weight of the frash materials; these te a considerable reduction hi bulk; stor As America goes into foil awing in her fight against aggression, wheat bins already are bulging with the largest supplies on record sad transportation facilities are overburdened with movements of war materials and troops, according to W.Herbert White of Caswell County, member of the State AAA Committee. This is in marked contrast to the situation which existed when America entered the first World War. Wheat supplies on hand an July X, 1942, are estimated at 1,423,000,000 bushels, enough for two years domestic use and exports, Mr. White said. This estimate is Dasea on a carryover or 630,000^00 bushels and a 1942 yield of 798,000,000 bushels. In 1917, the wheat supply was approximately 700,000,000 bushels, or about half what ft is now. North Carolina wheat growers will join with those of other states on' Saturday, May 2, in a national referendum on wheat marketing quotas on the 1942 crop. "This referendum, the 1942 crop. "This referendum," Mr. White declared, "gives American farmers an. opportunity to decide an issue vital to them in the democratic manner.!

Housewives Are 1 Told How To Outwit Clothes Moth "Thorn winter woolens you are putting away this spring are going to be more valuable than ever next fall," points out Miss Willie N. Hunter, clothing specialist of the N. 6. State College Extension Service. "War-time needs for wool emphasise the importance of protecting garments and-blankets from moth damage," she declared. Miss Hunter says that moths are likely to be in almost any house at any time of the year. "So eliminate all breeding places for moths," she advises, "and keep all floors and rugs well swept. % Never leave wool rags or old woo) clothes lying carelessly around the house. Don't let lint or hair accumulate in floor cracks or under baseboards—or dog or cat hairs remain in the basement. M6ths like hair, feathers, and fur as well as wool." Continuing, the Extension specialist said: "Before yon store wool garments, rid them of moths, larvae, or moth eggs.' Dry cleaning, washing with a strong solution of neutral soap, or sunning* airing and brushing combined will kill moths — destroy their eggs and larvae. "Pot clothing away in paper bags, in paper packages, i a boxes, or itore in trunks, cheats and tight slosets. Seel all paper bundles, bags and boxes so the moths have no ac-1 :ess. They wont eat through the paper, but they will crawl through the holes. ' , » "For extra protection, use napthilene or paradiehlorobensene, or noth balls which contain, one or both >f these chemicals. About one pound jf flake napthalene or paradichkmolenzene is a safe amount for a small Aest, trunk or wooden box. FV>r a I large closet or storeroom, u«* a pound of crystals to every 100 cubic feet." ■ ; <■ LEATHER Despite the Government's ahoejuying program which will be expanded three or four-fold thin year, 10 shortage of civilian footwear is < ^ It wouldn't help any If aieopefjd :ouid change hi^ spots.
