FARMERS URGED TO
BUY BONDS
Washington, D. C. More
than 6,000,000 farmers, re
cipients of Agricultural
Adjustment Agency checks
are receiving a leaflet
from the Treasury Depart
ment urging them to con-
part or all of the
payment into War Savings
Bonds. Mailing of the
leaflets began late in Oct
ober and is to continue un
til late winter.
State and county AAA
workers and state repre
sentatives of the War Sav
ings Staff are also to re
ceive copies of the leaflet.
The leaflet, in addition
to pointing out the benefits
to purchasers of war bonds
contains an order- form on
its back to facilitate the
conversion of AAA checks
into War Bonds. It espec
ially emphasizes that far
mers will get $4 for every
$3 invested if they hold
their Bonds until they
mature.
“Lay ’Em on the Fight
ing Line,” is the title of the
folder, which outlines"”al
three-fold financial plan,
for farmers. It recom
mends that farmers “Pro
duce all you can on your
farm,” “Get your debts, in
shape,’ and “Invest to the
full limit of your ability
in War Savings Bonds both
to help your country and:
safeguard your own fu
ture.”
Four reasons are given
to illustrate that it is both
patriotic andr profitable
for farmers to convert a
portion of their income in
to War Bonds. They are:
“You will be helping to
buy the fighting equip
ment needed by your sons.”
“You will be making £he
safest investment in the
world.” “You will be get
ting a profitable return
on your money,” and “You
will be doing your part to
stave off inflation.”
“After the war,” the
leaflet emphasizes, “your
savings will enable you to
buy the necessities and lux
uries you perhaps need
now but can’t get until
then.
“Your savings will pro
vide you with funds for
adjustments' on your farm,
education, travel, recrea
tion and retirement.”
It further stresses that
“War Bonds are the best
form of financial reserve
ever offered to United
States farmers,” and urges
these producers to “Make
Every Market Day Bond
Day.”

from Durham for a few
days visit with home folks.

NAVY
Y
North Carolina boys ser
ving in the Navy are going
!to get help—and their
parents are going to help
send it.
Instead of colorful para
des and flying banners, a
new kind of activity will
mark North Carolina’s ob
servance of Pearl Harbor
Day on December 7—and
| the observance will be one
of great distaste to the
Japanese who a little over
111 months ago fostered one
of the most dastardly at
tacks in history.
Parents of Noyth Caro
lina men ; n action' with the
Navy have been designat
ed as Volunteer Navy Re
cruiters from December 1
to December 7, and oh
Pearl Harbor Day, a brief
and simple ceremony will
take place in eight North
Carolina cities.
At Charlotte, Raleigh,
Asheville, Greensboro,
Winston-Salem, New Bern,
Salisbury and Wilmington
{ those parents have been
asked to gather on Pearl
Harbor Day with the re
gular recruiters and with
the men who have been
accepted for enlistment
through the efforts of the
mothers and fathers.
"Pull information o n
| Navy recruiting will be
{sent each of the volunteer
! parent recruiters, and each
will be awarded a certifi
; cate and commendation
from the Navy Depart
ment.
Although invaluable, the
volunteer purent recruit
ers will not be faced with
a large task. However,
they will figure in acquain
ting young North Caro
lipians with the Navy.
A COUPONS GOOD
FOR 3 GALLONS
Car owners with A cou
pon books will have to get
along on even less gasoline,
according to the latest ra
tion order. After Nov. 22
each coupon will be good
for the purchase of only
3 instead of 4 gallons of
gas.

The bulk of Christinas
mail must be in the post of
fices by December 1 this
year if deliveries -on time
are to be assured, accord
ing to Smith W. Purdum,
Second Assistant Postmas
ter General. Mr. Purdum
is responsible to Postmas
ter General Frank C. Wal
ker for smooth and effi
cient air and railway mail
jprvice.
Unprecedented wartime
demands on the postal and
transportation systems,
plus a prospective record
volume of Christmas mail
ings, were cited by Mr.
Purdum as necessitating
earlier mailings than ever
before. “It is physically
impossible for the railroads
and air lines, burdened
with vitally important war
materials, to handle Chris
tmas mailings as rapidly
as in normal times”, Mr.
Purdum said. “If the bulk
of parcels and greeting
cards are held back until
the usual time—the period
of about December 15 to 23
—they simply cannot be
distributed in time, and
thousands of gifts will
reach their destinations
after Christmas.”
In 1941, about 21,950
mail cars were required be
tween December 12 and 24
to deliver Christmas mails
—enough cars to make a
train 270 miles long. This
year, the extra cars need
ed to move holiday mails
are largely being used by
the armed services, and a
severe shortage is in pros
pect.
The postal service usu
ally borrows about 2,500
i trucks from the Army and
other Government agen
cies, and rents about 10,000
from private owners, to
handle the Christmas
mails. This year, it will be
extremely difficult to ob
tain enough of these vehi
cles to meet even a sub
stantial part of the need.
The Army needs its own
trucks and private owners
are reluctant to let some
one else use their tires.
Mr. Purdum called at-
NEW AUTO TAG IS
1-10TH AS LARGE—BUT
TWICE AS HARD TO r .
BUY THIS YEAR
Raleigh, N. C.. Nov. 1942.
Although Tar Heel auto
owners will get only one
tiny slip of precious metal
for an auto tag—instead
of the formidable two lar
ge tags of previous years—
they will go to twice as
much trouble and spend
three times as much time
in getting them. And
they’ll cost just as much.
Consequently, it is anti
cipated that tens of thou
sands of last-minute appli
cants may be earless as
well as gasless January Ist,
according to the N, C. Mo
tor Vehicle Department,
which is rather frantically
trying to warn motorists
to start buying their tags
on Dec. 1, first day of sales
Must Have Old Card
In the first place, no
1943 tags will be issued un
til the motorist has turned
in his 1942 registration
card. If the motorist has
lost his 1942 card, there is
only one way to get it re
placed—via the Motor Ve
hicle office in Raleigh.
Branch offices of the Car
olina Motor Club, which is
handling sales in about 60
cities, are forbidden to is
sue replacements for lost
) j 1942 cards.

WAGES RECEIVED
FROM FARM WORK
WILL NOT AFFECT
PAYMENT OF OLD AGE
AND SURVIVORS IN
SURANCE
D. W. Lambert, manager
.of the Asheville office of
, the Social Security Board,
said today that persons
, who are receiving old-age
and survivors insurant .3
, benefits may continue to
receive such benefits and
. at the same time earn max
imum wages in agricultur
al work.
Mr. Lambert sai l that
j although the Social Secur-
I ity Act prohibits the pay
» ments of benefits to anv
, one who receives wages of
j sls or more per month, in
I a job that is covered by
, the act, this ruling does
not apply to farm labor,
because agricultural work
is not covered by the act.*
' Beneficiaries under the
; old-age and survivors in
surance system, who re
| ceive checks from the gov
’ ernment every month,
{ found a leaflet w’ith their
’ November checks which
points out these facts:
1 “Farm labor is urgently
needed. You can help
your government win the
’ war if you will accept farm
* work. The extra money
I you earn will fiot stop your
■ monthly old-age and sur
* vivors insurance payments,
> because agricultural work
! is not covered by the Soc
■ ial Security Act.
“Boys and girls who are
' 16 or 17 years old who wish
'to extend their summer
* vacations in order to work
l on a farm may continue
’to receive their monthly
■ insurance benefits while
so working. However, they
■ must notify the Social Sec
urity Board office of the
1 date they expect to returr
to school.
“Your local United stat
es employment service of
fice will give you full in
( formation about available
jobs. If you can give a
I helping hand, visit your lo-
I cal Employment Office
now.” i _
tention to the task of the
j Post Office Department in
* moving millions of pieces
j of mail every day to and
' from soldiers, sailors and
marines throughout the
world. This extraordinary
job must be kept current,
even while the holiday rush
' of mailings is handled.
» Also, he pointed out, the
' postal establishment is op
> erating with many thous
ands of inexperienced per
s sonnel, employed to take
* the place of men called to
s the armed services. TII2
new employees naturally
l cannot handle the holiday
’ mail jam with the smooth
ness and speed of the pos
-1 tal veterans whom they re
-3 place.
_ view of all these han
dicaps to the service, Mr.
Purdum added, postal pa
’ trons should mail their
? gifts by December 1 if they
. wish to insure that their
friends'will not be disap
, pointed at Christmas.

THE LEAST
FLYCATCHER
The Least Flycatcher, as
the name implies, is the
smallest of a very notable
, and beneficial species of.
birds. This family derives 1
its name from the habit of!
catching winged insects'
{in the air, However, the
| Least Flycatcher does not
feed exclusively in this
1 manner.
This dainty bird is dull
‘ olive-green above, has two
' whitish wing bars, white
. breast, and a posterior yel
■ lowish tinge. The eyering
• is white,
Its habits are interesting
!It likes to dwell iin hedges,
' thickets around fields, and
? especially in orchards. It
builds its nest, composed of
fine bark, root fibers, hair, I
r feathers, and grasses, at a'
r height of from five to
■ twenty feet, and usually in
)ithe crotch cr upper side of
. a limb. From three to six,
’ usually * four, white eggs
-jare laid. In about twelve
r days the young are hatch
-1 ed and in eleven more they
f are fuH v feathered. In de
fense of its home, it is a
; most pugnacious fighter'
s 1 often chasing English Spa
c rrows and occasionally the
- Oriole.
The food habits of this
- bird render it a useful spe
i, ties. It consumes a great
- variety cf insects, some of
l which are the cotton-boll
? weevils, squash beetles,
- clover weevils, plum cur
