TO CARD INDEX I] THE STUDENTS OF ALL ] HIGH SCHOOLS Washington, April 26—1 Cards which may do much, 1 to shape the future of fev- I ery student will be distri- I buted soon to all high sch- i ools- bf, <4ie nation. - I -—The War Department an-.: nounced yesterday the j ( cards will be filled in to 1 1 fshow in detail the educa-i tional and work-experience J record of every boy or virl i who is graduated or who leaves high school before ' graduation. Both the army and civi lian employers~wiir be able to determine from the cards the student’s acade mic standing and achieve ment, vocational training, wage-earning ex p e rience, aptitudes and significant hobbies. The army will require draftees who are in high school after the card sys tem goes into effect to pre sent the cards at its recep tion centers and will use the information in classify ing them. Civilian employ ers will be able to use the information in deciding whether to hire job appli cants and in assisting those hired to particular jobs. The War Department said it will soon distribute 5,000,000 of the cards to high schools along with in structions. The cards will be filled out and kept in the i schools and a copy given to each student upon leaving . school, whether by gradua tion or otherwise. 'U. S. Education Office . officials, who co-operated , in developing the card sys , tern, said that hitherto ; there has been no ready record .of student’s school and job histories. The cards - will show: The name, bir thdate and birthplace, soc ial security number, home address, and the name and . status of citizenship of the I parent or guardian. The student’s visual and . hearing capacity, along with a description of any physical impairment. The subjects studied, [ marks made on an “above ! average, average or below 7 average” basis, subjects . liked most and liked least, r records in aptitude and ; achievement tests, grades j completed, rank in class, and the number of the class. Special aptitudes, “signi ficant hobbies, interests !_and extracurricular activi ties, preferred peacetime occupations,” plus the “pri ncipal achievement, dura tion of interest, and evi dence of leadership.” I Vocational preparation, experience at wage-earning jobs w’hile in school, and any “post-secondary-school training.” ! It’s A People’s War We are paying more In taxes than ever before . . . and likely will pay more. But we cannot rely on taxes to finance the war. It wsuM not be fair to base a tax on the average single fam ily income when many families have more th> n one income. We could borrow ail (he money from the banks, but fur bolli economic and social reasons this Is undesirable. The gov ! eminent would then - sacrifice Its greatest dam against infla tion. This is a People’s War and the people should finance it. The people WANT to finance it. Sale of War Bonds has mounted consistently since Pearl Harbor. They give their livea .. . You lend your money. Argentina has planted 899,200 acres of cotton for the 1942-43 season, 4 J THE YANCEY RECORD NEW APPEAL IS MADE ! FOR MORE WAR CROPS ■■l. I 111 IS* The nation’s urgent heed 1 for food and fiber crops to c fill wartime requirements j c this year makes it essential j 1 that farmers plant to the j I full limit of their capacity 1 before the spring planting r G. T. Scott, chairman of i the State USDA War i Board. . “This year" is probably the most critical year, r in 1 the history of American < agriculture”, Scott said. « “Wartime needs for food 1 have grown steadily for the 1 past * two years, and it is 1 estimated ;: military and; Lend-Lease purchases, will take about one-fourth of the 1943 farm output. De mands for food vary great ly from time to time, and each new offensive by the United Nations means more food is necessary. We who grow this food must meet our production goals if w r e expect our fighters and w r ar workers to meet theirs.” fin a recent appeal for in creased plantings, Chester Davis, War Food Adminis trator, pledged efforts of that agency to organize the nation’s latent labor re sources and seek addition al machinery so farmers can harvest the crojjs plan ted, and to work for con tinued adequate price sup ports to protect farmers in 1 the market places. • “With these facts i n ' mind, it is up to us as far mers to take a greater de gree of chance this year *|and plant the full acreage Iwe can expect to handle under the most favorable 1 conditions”. j In increasing plantings, ” he said, ibrmers should not overlook the urgent need 'jfor more feed grain and ’ hay crops which are essen j tial if record livestock pro-. ’ duction is to be maintained. THE RED-SHOULDEREI) HAWK T • This Hawk has a variety of names, Red-shouldered ’ Buzzard, Hen Hawk, Chic e ken Hawk, etc. ' V s It is slightly smaller than the Red-tailed Hawk and is j probably mistaken for it at g ; times. The head, neck ,land back are deep rufous; p the chin, throat and cheeks are dull white; the under parts and shoulder are 8 light reddish; the legs and cere (the flesh at the base e of the upper mandible) are _ yellow’; the iris is brown. The nest, of sticks, is us _ ually built in the fork of a tree. The eggs, 3 to 5 in number, are dull white or ’ bluish-white spotted o r j blotched with yellow’ish-j j brown. ' The oft-repeated “kee-l yoo” and the bars on the! under sides of the wings' are helpful in identifica-' ,tion. - «^||| The diet is confined mos tly to rodents and inszets. Some of the items are mice, 1 rats, snakes, frogs, fish, grasshoppers, centipedes, crawfish, earthworms, sna ils and an occasional bird. The Red-tail very seldom bothers poultry and has been known to build . it? nest and rear its young very near a poultry yard without molesting the pou ltry. It has thp habit of sitting on its \perch for hours at a time. j This is regarded as • a I very beneficial species of Hawk and should have pro |tection.— (James Hutchins) RESOLUTION WHEREAS, Rex Ferby Ray, Pensacola, North Car olina, a Private is the Army of the United States, lost his life in the Southwest Pacific area, February 6, 1942, in defense of his cou ntry, thus rendering the fulfest measure of devotion in behalf oF liberty, justice ~ and the highest ideals of America; and WHEREAS, the Earl Horton Post of the Ameri can Legion, Number 122, and the Auxiliary, Burns ville, North Carolina, as bodies and individually, wish to express fully their admiration and highest re spect for his personal w'or th, his service and sacrifice for America and his con stant fidelity to duty; and WHEREAS, the Earl Horton Post of the Ameri can region, Number 122, and the Auxiliary w T ish to convey the expression of deepest sympathy to Mr. J.
