-PACK FOUR THE, PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1941 liidioisLoscTvo; Sqr.vs Bnt Even Two well-played, hard-fought basketball games were witnessed at the High (School auditorium on last Thursday and Friday when the Per quimans boys and girls' teams met the teams from Hobbsville and Wil liamston. Hobbsville visited here on Thurs day and split the double header with the locals when the Indian Squaws downed the Hobbsville girls by a s-21 count. The Squaws were off to a good start and had a comfortable lead on the visotors but this lead was grad ually cut down by the Hobbsville leuui. Mayes, Gault and Harris did uie scoring for Hertford. In the boys' game, the Hertford team lost a one point verdict to the Hobbsville team alter a rough game during which three players left the game through the foul route. Final score of the boys' game was 28-27. i Williamston Wins Coming back on Friday, both the Perquimans teams met the strong teams of the Williamston High School. During the girls' game which ended in a victory for Williamston, the local team seeming ly could not cope with the fastei passing Williamston team. Most oi the Perquimans girls saw action dur ing this game and gave a good ac count of themselves, but they coulo not taflly the joints to overcome Wil liamston's early lead. The game between the Indians and Williamston boys was an exciting thirty-two minutes of basketball Williamston gained an early lead oi ten to four, but doggedly the In dians kept after the ball and lost the verdict three points. Final score was 16-13. U. S. Senators Debate Taxing Securities Now Exempt From Taxation 'iShall Federal and State securities now exempt from taxation be taxed in the future? U. S. Senators Pren tiss M. Brown, Michigan, and Warren R. Austin, Vermont, transfer their debate from the floor of the Senate to the columns of the February issue of The Rotarian magaine, as its cur rent debate-of-the-raonth. Brown was author of the "Brown Amendment," which would have taxed such securi ties, and Austin led the opposition in committee and on the floor. "The Government is losing sub stantial revenue," dlaims Senator Brown. "Until we eliminate tax ex emption, we will not approximate tax justice. The man of moderate in come obtains no tax advantages whatsoever from the ownership of a 3 percent municipal bond. To a man of exceedingly large income, the municipal bond is of great value be cause of its tax-exempt privilege. The elimination of the tax-exempt privilege would add over the years substantially to the Government in come and will tend toward tax jus tice." To which Senator Austin replies: "If these contentions were true, and if I were blind to the fundamental defects of the proposal, I could easily find myself persuaded to fa,vor the idea. But, alas, I can find no evi dence to support these claims. To be able to collect income taxes on 2Vi million dollars, the Government has pledged itself to pay out half that much in increased interest. Rela tively few of these tax-exempt secur ities are to be found, in the estates of the rich. But the fundamental fallacy of the proposal is: should we destroy the immunity of taxation of either one of our dual governments, we slip one notch nearer the sea of national socialism." Accents Costly To North Ceroiiiuais Traffic accidents cost North Car linians more money each year than it costs to operate the entire StaU supported school system, Ronald Hocutt, director of the Highway Safety Division, stated this week. "We are inclined to look upon the cost of highway accidents only in terms of human suffering, twisted limbs and horrible death, while over looking the economic aspect of the accident picture," he said, "Last year, for example, the cost of traffic accidents in North Carolina reached upwards of $25,000,000. This sum included all costs of hospitalization, doctors' bills, repairs and replace ment of damaged vehicles, working time lost by accident victims, and an estimated valuation of $5,000 placed on each life lost." Traffic accidents cost North Caro lina industries a pretty penny, tou. Hocutt said, pointing out that the average compensation costs paid to industrial workers involved in traffic accidents in connection with their work is higher than that in any other type of accident in industry, and that the average number of days lost as a result of traffic accidents in indus try is greater than that in any other type of accident. "Yes, highway accidents cost more than human suffering, tears and an guish," the safety director stated. "Accidents cost North Carolinians many millions of dollars each year. And while it may be true that much of this cost is borne by insurance companies, we all know that these companies are not in business foi their health, and the cost of these accidents ultimately must be borne by all policy-holders." Hocutt said that if North Carolina drivers are not concerned over theii safety, consideration for their pock etbooks ought to prompt them to drive more carefully. Early-Hatched Pullets Will Need Extra Care MARGARET TOWE CLASS MEETS The Margaret Towe Bible Class of Oak Grove Church held its monthly meeting Thursday jevening at the home of Miss Paulino Bundy. Tho meeting was called to order by the vice president, Mrs. Emmett Stan ings, and "Faith Of Our Fathers" was sung. A short devotional was conducted by Miss Alice Ferrell, af ter which "My Faith Looks Up to Thee" was sung. The business ses sion was followed by the minutes of the previous meeting. The class voted to donate $2 to the local In fantile Paralysis Fund. The class accepted an invitation to meet with Mrs. Otis Lane in Feb ruary. The meeting closed with the hymn, "The Old Rugged Cross." During: the social hour Mrs. Geo. W. Jaelmoft and Mrs. Stall ings, re creational leaden, conducted several interesting: contests with Misses Ber nice Ownky, Pauline Bandy and Doris Lwi winning prizes. The hostess served delicious ice cream, cake; and mints to the follow ing: Mr. 4n4 Mrs. George Jackson, Mr. and Hi. Talmadgft Lewis, Mr. sad Mrs. t Matcher: Bandy, ; Mr. and Mrs. Otis Lane, Mr. and Mrs. O. L Bundy, Mrs. Emmett Stalllngs, Mrs. Henry Ownl y, Hit.' Tim Stallings, Misses , Alice Ferrell,. Grade FerrelL Bernice Owsley, Dorothy , Bundy, Doris Lewis, Sadie Bandy, and Pau line Bandy. ',r Egg prices usually start to rise in July, and the summer and fall eggs top the market. For that reason, many farmers and poultrymen are now buying chicks to take advantage of this favorable price situation when the early-hatched pullets start lay ing in the summer. C. R. Parrish, Extension poultry specialist of N. C. State College, says this is all well and good, but he warns that extra care is required for early-hatched chicks. "Without extra care," he says, "the early hatched birds will go into molt next fall or winter and all the advantage of the summer price situation will t. lost." This extra care includes the use of lights to lengthen the laying day oi the hens and to stimulate feed con sumption. It also entails the feed ing of wet mash around noon each day. "If you do not plan to follow such practices, you'd better not buy your chicks too early," Parrish de clared. Another angle to baby chick buy ing is discussed by the Extension specialist, as follows: "Don't just buy chicks on the price basis alone. Investigate the hatchery's breeding program. "For instance, if you are buying chicks primarily for broilers, yon should be sure the hatchery or breed er you order from is taking broiler qualities into consideration in his breeding program. likewise, if the chicks are to be raised primarily foi the purpose of egg production, the breeder or hatchery you buy from should be breeding for high egg pro duction, for egg quality, and good pulet livability as well as for sat isfactory broiler qualities. Parrish says a farmer can usually tell by conversation or from the ad vertising material' just what kind of a job the hatchery is doing in the way of breed improvement. Shoe Shop, Edenton, N. C.
