Ga., who came home to attend; a funeral and was one of three' . companions of Satterfield in the i j coupe which struck: Chandler, I ! was quieted as saying that Chand- j ■ ler, who jumped down a bank I ! and onto the highway, appeared ■ i “suddenly, as if from mid-air.” j | Mrs. Chandler, it appears, was j ! w alking with her mother on land j I above the bank and both heard j j and saw the crash, although she 1 afterwards reportedly, ran back; to her house in a state of nerv- j ous collapse without being aware of the fact that the victim was her husband. She .was quoted qs! saying that she feared it was a: neighbor’s child. Dr. Nichols expressed the op-1 inion that the high wind blowing at the time may have kept I Chandler from hearing the ap- > J proaching automobile and that j he probably failed to see it be- j | cause his head may have been j I bent down against 1 the wind. i j Chandler had two severe blows j on each side of the head above j the eyes and one hip was frac tured. His shoe strings were ’ broken loose and the shoes bore marks indicating that toes, bent 1 backwards, were dragged along the highway. The body was in ‘ the middle of the highway, near black center mark. 1 Rites fler Chandler, who was a j j native of Person County and j 1 made his home about five miles i 1 from Roxobro, were in charge of J : Elder N.

And | mothers with children ‘ fled the I afflicted sections of the State by I hundreds, seeking to escape the j dread malady.” Mrs. Phillips Russell of Chap el Hill, who is Secretary of the State Committee for the Presi ,dent’s birthday campaign, of which Dr. Ralph McDonald is Chairman, added that the situa tion was much like the one in I war-torn Europe today. “American homes today are be- j ing opened up to refugee English • chilldren fleeing the horrors of war,” Mrs. Russell pointed out. “This is strangely parallel to the refugee American ing a poliomyelitis epidemic, children whose parents are try- C3EEQEES FOR RENT: Modern dwelling with all conveniences.

Half of the funds will be used by each county locally. While thee disease is still large ly a puzzle to medical authori ties, and the fight has really on ly begun, tremendous good has already been accomplished by the Foundation, it is s%id. The spread of the disease is under better control, and remarkable improvements have been brought about in the reclamation of chil dren stricken by the disease.

O' Bulletin Issued On Income Taxes For Farmers Uncle Sam’s income tax laws will hit many farmers for the first time this year. To aid growers in filing a re turn on their 1942 farm income, the Extension Service of N. C. State College, has just issued War Series Extension Bulletin No. 16, “The Farmer’s Inccme Tax.” Copies may be obtained without charge upon application to the Agricultural Editor, State College, Raleigh, or from the county agent’s office. The 16-page publication was prepared by R. E. L. Greene, as sociate agricultural economist of the Experiment Station, and H. B. James, farm management specialist of the Extension Ser- vice. The information in the bulle tin, presented in question-and answer style, deals with the un usual situation that will be 1 found in making an income tax ] return. I Designed to clear up questions in the farmer’s mind as to who 1 must file a return, when the re turn must be filed, deductions, exempti/bns, and others, the pub- j lication clears up many of the 1 doubts which have arisen con cerning the tax on the 1942 in come. While most of the bulletin deals J wih filing a Federal reurn, a portion is also allotted to infor mation on the State inejeme tax [ return.
