A cut in the amount of 85 mm. film that the motion picture industry may use in 1943 will save enough film to stretch three times about the earth at the equotor. The manager of a Pueblo, Colo., hotel cut down the metal heads of his bedsteads and sent 8,000 pounds of scrap brass and steel to the locai salvage committee. If everybody should tell everybody the whole truth about everything everyday, soon everybody would be shunning everybody and nobody would see anybody. More than 2,300 fire department drivers, mechanices, and chiefs in 118 cities are pledged to strict tire care, gasoline saving, and systematic maintenance of motor equipment. A woman can easily find a husband that is healthy. She can sometimes find one that is wealthy, but all the old rascals will step out and every one of them is a lout. "I am not having any beaus since you fitted my glasses. What is the cause and what should I do," wrote the girl to her eye specialist. "Try Life Buoy" replied the doctor. That juvenile delinquency that is causing the whole country so much concern can be stopped by simply patting the kids on the back, just below the waistline and very hard. Since no new steel dies, used in engraving stationery, cards, etc., are now available, the industry has been polishing and using both sides of old dies. A doctor says dyschromottopia is an hereditary anomaly, is trichromatic and is incurable. One should exercise caution and not allow himself to become exposed to it. Simple Susie says she's older than she used tp be and she is thoroughly disillusioned, but she still has something to look forward to—reaching sixty-five and getting a pension. A Civilian's Prayer ___________ Help me, Almighty God, to be the only kind at hero I can ever be. Help me see how important it is that I go gladly and energetically about the humdrum business of saving my tires and my fuel fit spending leu and saving more, of eating leas and working harder, of wikti^ leas and giving more. Help me see that while the war may be won no matter what I do, the light we fight to keep alive may go oat because of what I prove myself to be. Help me to realize that Americans are fighting today, not to create freedom and opportunity for the ruthless and greedy, but to make it possible for kind men, man of integrity, responsible men, to work m peace, and to work for the common Ask your neighbor about her canning plus. If yqn do not can on the same day, you may keep an eye on her children or prepare her onedish meals—she may do the same for you. Don't let your tongue run loose. A land word in time saves the nine or ten you use patching things up. Sit down hud on the stories that come to your ears—they probably aren't true anyway. These are sins of omissSon—things you forget to do! Leaving- your room an untidy mess; letting your good looks slip by rundown heels, straggly back hair and spotty clothes; forgetting to deliver messages, run errands, or carry out jobs entrusted to you. Neglecting to thank people for favors received; to acknowledge invitations; to be thoughtful; blithely and willfully leaving things undone! It's a crime! BIRD CLUB At the Bird Club meeting, Saturday, Charles Fitzgerald read an article by C. S. Brimley, of Raleigh, relating to the Goldfinch. This bird is a resident all over the State. The male, in summer, is bright yellow and wears a crown of black. WingB and tail are black also but have white markings. The female is duller, yellow-brow above and yellowish beneath. At the fall moult the male loses his bright color and assumes the dress of the female, except for the presence of some yellow on the wing. In the spring ^he changes again to his bright summer suit, but the female simply moults from one dull dress into another. The Goldfinch is smaller than the English Sparrow but of the same build. They go in'flocks for most of the year. In late summer these flocks are simply broods of half a dozen or more. Only a comparatively small number stay to summer with us. The nesting period is usually from late June to August, which is much later than most other small birds breed. Each month brings them a tasty exciting change of fare, from the dandelion seeds of early spring, the grass seeds of early summer, and the garden flowers, such as ragged robins, corpeopsis, calliopsis, and especially sunflowers; the thistles of later summer, the zinnias and marigolds and cosmos, and the composites of fall, the goldenrods and asters. The Goldfinches are beautiful binds and few birds seem to enjoy life more. They do a great service in keeping down weeds. They also eat many insects including cankerworms, plant life and beetles. Of the two types of electric batteries used in devices to aid hearing, 66 varieties of "A" batteries have been reduced to two, and more than 175 varieties of "B" batteries have been reduced to four standard types by the War Production Board.

FINAL RITES HELD FOR AUSTIN HAMLIN Austin Hamlin, 64, a well known and highly regarded colored Farmville citizen, died at his home here January 10, after several months of infirmity and ill health. Funeral services were held from the home on Walnut street by Rev. Fred Da vies, pastor of the First Baptist Church, of Wilson, and Rev. C. B. Mashburn, pastor of the Christian Church. Interment was made in the Rountree cemetery, Wilson. Hamlin was born in Northampton County on September 2, 1878, and in 1904 was married to Miss Effie Mitchell, off Wilson. Becoming- a resident of Farmville in his early life, Hamlin, a high type | colored man, industrious and of good business ability, conducted a bUteir smith shop here for many years, which was an asset to the town, and built a nice home in the colored section.

He is survTved by his widow, a daughter, Mrs. Mary Barnes, of New York, and a granddaughter, Thelma G. Hamlin.
