RAISES PRICE OF GASOLINE New York. Following a re cent increase in crude oil prices, the Standard Oil Co. of New Jer sey advanced today the price of gasoline one-half cent a gallon in New Jersey, Maryland, North and South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia and the District of Columbia. Oil circles looked for a similar mark-up in motor fuel prices in other northern and eastern states. The boost was attributed in oil circles entirely to the higher cost of crude oil. A sleeping nation is unlike a sleeping lion. You see a lion hasn't any possessions that some body else might desire. ' THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA NEW BANK RULING POSTPONEDTOMAY -J ' Would Prevent Banks Front Absorbing Cost of Ex change on Checks PRESSURE IS BROUGHT The Federal Reserve Board, of Washington, D. C., has postponed until May 1 the effective date of section 1 of regulation Q govern ing charges on out-of-town checks which heretofore have been ab sorbed by banks, but which under the regulation were to be passed on to the bank customer. This section was to have become ef fective February 1. Chairman Steagall, of the House Banking and Currency Committee and Chairman Wag ner, of the Senate Banking and Currency Committee, appealed to the Board to order the postpone ment in the interests of the banks, many State Commissioners having asked for relief from what sever al of them declared would be "in tolerable conditions." The Board states that, "after careful consideration, it had reached the conclusion that the law and the existence of certain banking practices required the adoption of this definition. But the Board feels that the request these two chairmen have now made should be granted in view of the fact that the Board has been informed that a number of mem bers of Congress are giving con sideration to the question of the advisability of amending the law under which the Board's regula tion was issued, and desire addi tional time for that purpose."

BREED IMPORTANT IN BABY CHICKS fyorth Carolina Farmers Ex pected to Start 20,000,000 Chicks This Year ROCKS BEST FOR MEAT North Carolina poultrymen are expected to start approximately 20,000,000 baby chicks this year, according to T. T. Brown, exten sion poultryman at State College. Selecting the breed and variety is one of the important decisions which the grower must make. If he wishes to keep poultry for egg productotn, the grower will choose one of the lighter breeds such as Leghorns. However, if he wishes to market his birds as meat, he will raise one of the heavier breeds, such as Barred Rocks. Then he can use utility birds, such as Rhode Island Reds, which are good for both egg production and meat. In a broadcast on the Carolina Farm Features program Friday, January 29, Mr. Brown will give advice on the selection of breeds and varieties. Through this broad cast, he hopes to help growers de termine the exact type of poultry which they would like to raise during 1937 if they are not satis fied with their present breed. The schedule in full for the week of January 25-30 follows: Monday, L. I. Case, "Selling Mar ket Lambs;" Tuesday, L. P. Wat son, "Let's Grow Our Own Plants;" Wednesday, Robin M. Williams, "The Future of Farm Tenancy in North Carolina;" Thursday, Home Demonstration Department; Friday, T. T. Brown, "Selecting the Proper Breed and Variety of Poultry;" and Satur day, Forestry Department.

AIRY BOY DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED Mount Airy, Jan. 31.—Wounded by a blank cartridge pistol in the hands of a playmate as the two imitated mo/ie gunmen, Cecil Goins, 10, was in a critical con-! dition at the Martin Memorial hospital today. Part of a lead) slug remained in his brain and he | was given very little chance for recovery. Good Reason Henry—Are you still engaged to that homely girl? Edward—No, I'm not. Henry—Good for you, old man. Hov? did you get out of it? Edward—l married her. The FAMILY DOCTOR (By John Joseph Gaines, M. D.) A neglected church, one that is occupied by worshippers only two or three times a week and remains closed the rest of the time, may become distinctly unsantitary, if its sexton is not alert for the wel fare of his congregation. • I am not warning my readers to stay away from church no, not that. An amusement resort may be ten times as malignant, wliere all sorts of respiratory dis eases are present in all stages. But, the theater operator is, as a rule, pretty careful to keep his place in a sanitary condition. In constant operation the place is generally swept clean, and the air changed over and over again. I am sorry to say that rural houses of worship are seldom cared for as they should be. The church where I attend reg ularly may be cited here, since I am fond of "honest confessions." Our sexton—a young man—makes his living from more remunerative work. The church gets him as cheap as possible, hardly more than five dollars a week. Our in door nooks are always dusty, and the plunder in choir-rooms is lad en with dust. The mop isn't known here; the moist cloth, if ever used, has not been discovered. Our sexton is the lowest paid of ficial in the church service. It ought to be otherwise. He should be qualified to do expert sanitary work, and should be paid for the work required of him. We pay an elder about SBO a trip, to come around every three months and check us up morally and fi nancially—about $320 for the four annual visits. Our spare-time sex ton would drop dead if he were to get one dollar for a harder hour's work! Sometimes a cheap janitor or sexton costs more in health than the high-priced spiritual supervis or. Think it over. Barbarians are care free. You see there are no Joneses to keep up with or any social snobs.
