LOCAL DRAFT BOARD 1 INSTRUCTED ON FATE OF DESERTERS The local draft; board re ceived a communication ; this week from General J. , Van Metts, state director j of selective service, stat- , ing that all persons who desert the military service ( in time of war are deemed to have voluntarily relin quished and forfeited their' rights to citizenship, as well as their rights to be come citizens. Such deserters are for ever incapable of holding any office of trust or pro fit under the United Stat es or exercising any rights of citizens thereof. , General Metts further stated that in view of the serious consequences o f - desertion in time of war, it is to be hoped that all selectees on leave from their organization wi 11 not let anything whatever; interfere with their re porting back for duty on the day required. LEAF GROWERS FACE SHORTAGE OF CANVAS Faced with a general shortage of plant bed can vas, tobacco farmers are being urged to use every method possible for the more efficient production of plants. Realizing the* serious ness of the present plight - J 1 fc> of leaf growers, a commit tee of N. C. State College specialists has formulated a list of practices which will help to some extent in relieving the emergency. First, the group recom mended that the plant bed be located under the most favorable conditions av ailable. A southeastern exposure in a well-drained soil is preferable, as is the selection of a site as free of weeds and stumps as possible. The use of one pound of a 6-9-3 or l to 2 pounds of a 4-9-3 fertili zer per square yard of plant bed is recommended. Because of the shortage of new canvas, some far mers will be forced to use old plant bed covers. In certain instances, these old covers may not be strong enough to use o n the usual type of board sidewall plant bed. While not a good prac tice from an insect control standpoint, the most effi cient use of old weak can vas can be had. in combi nation with the straw me thod. An even distribu- not in excess of 20 to 25 pounds of well-thres hed wheat, oat; or rye straw should be used per 100 square yards of plant bed area. The covers should be placed directly on the straw and anchored to the ground by means of pegs, not using poles or boards as side walls. Since such beds are-Sus ceptable to attack by in sects, especially flea beet les, a close watch should be kept and proper control measures taken at the first signs of infestation. Measures, should also be employed to control any outbreaks of blue mold. FARM BOYS AND GIRLS LAUNCH VICTORY DRIVE 'North Carolina’s 60,000 4-H Club members are ready to embark on a seven-point Victory Pro gram, according to L. R. Harrill, 4-H Club leader of the N. C. State College Extension Service. The basis for the pro gram was laid down in a discussion of civilian de fense at a recent confer ence in Washington be tween 4-H Club leaders and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. The program calls for: *♦••11 interpreting to the community the'four free donfs: Freedom of Speech Freedom of Worship, Free dom from Want, and Free dom from Fear; »2> mak ing every effort to produce and conserve needed foods in 4-H Club projects; <3 * j saving . for victory—pre vention of waste, collect ing scrap metals, burlap, old paper, etc. i4i Developing indivi dual and community heal th; (5i learning useful te chnical and mechanical skills and volunteering for civilian -defense work; »<5• practicing the democratic procedure; and <7♦ under standing the social and economic forces at work in this country through discussion groups and oth er organized activities. Harrill explained that the seven-point program is a wartime revision of a program which North Car olina club members and their local leaders have been carrying forward for the past year and a half.

I PRIORITY RATING FOR SOME SCHOOL SUPPLIES ’ Preference order P-22, amended, grants to educa tional institutions an A-10 • priority rating on supplies for repairs, maintenance > and operation of the edu cational program. This order greatly widens the scope of the original P-22 order and grants priority on all needed items except equipment. Schools are de fined as producers iof edu cation) and all items need ed to carry out their pro gram arg included-, - with the restriction that the order shall not be used for the expansion of facilities. ‘ Operating expenses” is defined —as any material which is essential to the operation of the producer’s business and which is con sumed in thecourse of such business. For a school’ system this includes ins tructional supplies. “Maintenance” refers to up-keep of property and equipment. ‘Repair is defined as the restoration of a producer’s property and equipment to a sound working condition^ The application of the preference rating is very simple—an endorsement on the purchase order of the following statement: “Ma terial for Maintenance, Re pail's, or Operating Sup plies, Rating No. A-10 un der Preference Rating Order P-22 amended, with the terms of which I am familiar.” _ ■ ,«The rating must not be used if material can be ob tained without a rating* Neither shall the rating ' be used to pile up inven -1 tories in violation of Pri : orities Regulation No. 1. 1 All orders using the rating ' must be segregated and preserved for audit bv tb_e Office of Production Man agement. A thorough understand ing of the priorities order is necessary before use can be made of its provi sions. School officials who find it necessary to make use of the A-10 rating should write W. Z. Betts, Director of the Division of Purchase and Con tr a ct, Raleigh, for a copy of the order. Mrs. Luther Ayers and Miss Ruby Hughes spent the week end in Asheville i with relatives. i | 7 AMONG THE HILLS OF ’ ' WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA 'Julia Robinson, Hamrick, N.
