The white-fringed beetle, a “new and serious insect pest,” has been found near Wilming ton and in Pender and Wayne couties, according to J. A. Har ris of the Division of Entom ology of the State Department of Agriculture. A Federal quarantine against . this insect went into effect on December 28, 1942, and a sim ular State quarantine will be put into effect immediately. “This beetle is another insect enemy which has gained en trance from a foreign country. The adult is almost one-half inch in length. Its color is a dark gray, with a lighter band around its body. No males are known, the insect reproducing without fertilization. “Most of the damage is caus ed by the grubs which feed on the roots of a large number of plants including cotton, corn, cowpeas, velvet beans sweet po tatoes, peanuts and Irish pota toes. The North Carolina in festation is probably the result of a direct importation from South America at the port at Wilmington,” said Harris.

RED TAPE vs. BED INK The city council of Reno, Nev. looked at last month's bill of 3500 for feeding jail prisoners— and asked the judge to see if the inmates couldn't be hurried through a bit faster.

That it was time for the State to provide a nine months school term for every child in every county in the State. .He said: “The capac ity to pay is not the test The supplemental local tax is not the answer. We operate on a state basis, and there can be no real justification for difference in school term or quality of teach ing in various sections of the State." Other recommendations in cluded improvements at State institutions, welfare work in the stUte, the Historical Commis sion, and the agricultural ex tension service be continued on the same basis as heretofore. Farmers— (Continued from Page 1) farmers who are not now land owners. The regulations covering this loan are practically the same as those that have been used in the past for making tenant pur chase loans. The farm must be a family-type unit; that is of the proper size to utilize the family labor to the best advan tage. and §till not so large that they need to employ much out side labor. A purchase price limitation in each coupty puts a top limit on the dollar value of each farming unit and this must include the value of the small farm which the family now owns. It is possible through this pro gram to secure money with which to make needed repairs in addition to the purchase cost. The present improvements and repairs' must be within the lim itations of the War Board Order L-41. which at the present time limits and new construction to the dwelling to $200 and $1000 on agricultural buildings. If there is a mortgage on the pres ent small farm, it is possible to have this refinanced providing no other federal agency is' now financing the applicant, and pro viding the refinancing will be less than fifty per cent of the total loan. Farmers who have small farms and are interested in se curing funds with which to pur chase additional land should get in touch with County Farm Se curity Administration Super visor, W. C.

One of the most important being the rubber problem. The report has the following explanation to the nation on the rubtfer situation: “1943 is the crucial year in the rubber situation. Military demands for rubber are still growing, and will increase stead ily in 1943. America has 30 million tire replacements the majority of them old tires, re Norfolk, Va., (Ian. 7v—Maids are being added to the crews of Seaboard Railway trains as quickly as they Can be trained for the positions. At Seaboard headquarters here, it was said they are to augment the porter service now provided, and are required, due to increased traf fic, to care for the comfort of passengers. treads and tires made of re claimed rubber, to take the place of the 90 million new tires which would nornjally have been consumed during the past year and the next.’’ “If all goes well, 50,000 tons of synthetic rubber Will be pro duced in the first half of 1943. After that date, production will climb rapidly, and the nations rubber inventory should begin to climb in the fall of 1943. Ev ery pound of synthetic rubber produced in 1943 will have to go to the armed forces.” “If the vast and ambitious synthetic rubber program is completely successful and if the tires now on the road are carefully preserved, the United States will have defeated the rubber shortage by. this time next year.” The report goes on and states that America grimly enters its second year of war. In the sec ond year of the war every man, woman and child as well as every pound of critical mate rials must count. And finally, tjiat we will win the. war by. dut-producing the Axis'Three'to one in aircraft, bombers, fight ers and transports, as well as in guns and munitions.

Picture, if you will, the en tertainment dish that is served. Tyrone Power, in our book one of the finest of screen actors by virtue of his ability to do any thing and everything extremely well, is in a role that is hand tailored for him. As Pirate Captain “Jamey” Waring, he gets every opportunity to dis play those qualities that have kept nim at the top of the heap for the last five years. Paired with him in the romance that is smoothly superimposed over the basic adventure story is creamy complexioned, gorgeous ly apportioned Maureen O’Hara. Maureen’s a spirited damself in the film, and it takes a great deal of masterful wooing by the dashing buccaneer before she’s won over. This is in addition to the com pelling action that dominates the film. The settings are mag nificent, replete with sailing vessels whose grace and beauty strikes a responsive chord in everyone’s heart. * Events and Eventualities By Vivian Whitfield -....-.+ Thirty-One Million For a state that is primarily agricultural, thirty-one million dollars is still a large sum of money, regardless of the fact that we have become too accust amed to thinking a billion is much smaller than it used to be. However, the fact that the state does have a surplus of thirty-one million dollars is proof that the finances of our commonwealth are soundly ad ministered. I have been quite amused re cently to hear from various cit izens that just as soon 1 as the Legislature can convene there will be various schemes, in the form of. bills, concocted to spend the surplus—all of it. I do not share the opinion of these citr izens. I do not share their opin ion because the financial polity of our state is sound just as much because of our legislators as because of our able state ad ministrative officials. It is my opinion that the legislators will follow the leadership of Gover nor Broughton, Treasurer John son and other members of the Council of State, and set aside as much as possible for the in evitable “rainy day” post-war problems. This fact must be borne in mind—the legislators are going to be faced with an increased biennial budget. The cost of every commodity has risen. That calls for increased costs in op tffly&suhe >u#ness of the stria! Naturally, the budget cornnub tee should, and no doubt will, scrutinize every increase asked for by each department and de cide each on its merit. It seems to me that one of the' most needed expenditures Is an increase of " *“*— per cent, ,more if the salaries of our teachers and amoi bracketed employ* departments.
