Sims, Washington Correspondent tlantic PatrwL1 Based Qa " Iceland. r-M3r;Lewl To CUt. ' :' It The occupation of Iceland, to gether with orders issued by the President to American naval forces ;io "take all necessary steps" to in sure safety of communications be tween the United States and strate gic outposts, seems to indicate that ,the Government is following the pol icy enunciated by Secretary Knox, who recently told the Governors' conference that the time had come to use our Navy to clear the Atlantic of the German menace. ; Secretary Knox pointed to our pledge to deliver material to Great Britain and insisted that the time had come to fulfill our obligations. He argued that while Hitler is as saulting Stalin, this country can clear the Atlantic and deliver, in "safety, weapons our factories are producing, which will make certain the ultimate defeat of Nazi Germany. It should not be overlooked that the waters around Iceland have been declared a war zone by German pro clamation. Neither should we for get that authorized German spokes men have insisted that German naval and aerial forces will sink all ships attempting to carry supplies to Great Britain. Thus, the policy of this country to give all necessary assist ance to- the British and the German declaration to sink such cargoes comes to a focus around the waters of Iceland. The occupation of this Island, some 700 miles from Great Britain and about 800 miles from Norway, together with naval action to insure safety of communications with con tinental America, will probably greatly decrease the burden the British Fleet is now carrying. Cer tainly, if cargo vessels can leave the United States and travel the 2,900 miles to Iceland under the protection of American naval patrols, the Brit ish will be able to concentrate their effective forces on the last leg of the dangerous trip, which will give increased protection to convoys bound for the British Isles. : In connection with the extension of the American naval patrol, one notes that an increasing number of newspaper columnists are taking it for granted that there has been an rU" ? f ' "HTH"', """ " f SEI DEMONSTRATION "I can't tell you bow thrilled I am with the performance, 1-bor saving feature, and beauty of my new NESCO Kcroaene Range.

Presumably, somti ships have been transferred from the "' Pacific Fleet in order to strengthen the Atlantic Fleet. There '.8 little chance that the Pacific has been reduced to a degree to invite Japanese aggression in the Southern Pacific, but the "widened patrol of the Atlantic will probably increase the likelihood of a clash between our naval vessels and German warships. Anticipate Taxes. Buy New Ships. Save And Help. The sale of defense bonds and stamps is underway at postoffices, banks and other institutions, but the Treasury Department will inaugurate a plan, on the first of next month, to permit taxpayers to meet the "unprecedented" 1942 tax bill through systematic savings" over a period of months. Recognizing that some citizens might hesitate to invest in defense bonds or stamps because of their ex pectation that the tax increases of next year will require all available funds, the Secretary of the Treas ury has announced a "lay-away' plan, .under which taxpayers may purchase interest-bearing tax antici pating notes from Federal Reserve Banks or .by applications through their private banks. When income tax payments are due next year, the taxpayer may at tach the note, or notes, to his return and send them to the Collector of In ternal Revenue. They will be count ed as cash. In fact, the anticipation notes will bear interest. The plan will not only serve the convenience of taxpayers, but will bring revenue into the Treasury as much as a year ahead of time. The notes will be in two series, ranging in denominations from $25 to $100, 000, with interest payments at the rate of 1.92 to .48 per cent a year. By means of these notes, taxpay ers who anticipate that income tax payments will strain their current financial resources, will be able to effectively cooperate with the Gov ernment in the defense program. By the purchase of these anticipation notes, the taxpayer will pay his money to the Government long before the income taxes become due and will receive for his early payment some interest on the money advanced. The anticipation notes apparently meet the suggestion that a plan be devised under which the taxpayer will be able to pay his taxes in in stallments. .Instead of waiting until the total tax is due and then making deferred payments, subject to inter est, the taxpayer is encouraged to anticipate a part of the taxes he will have to pay. . The idea is good and should result in a source of consider able cash revenue to the Government. Aluminum Collection. Set For This Month. Plans for the collection of used aluminum ware from the nation's housewives have been completed for the period between July 21 and 29th, inclusive. The Office of Production Manage ment says that waste material deal ers, at a recent meeting in Washing ton, agreed not to make any profit out of the donations of aluminum which will be collected under the direction of local committee chair men. The aluminum will be sold directly to a smelter, having defense prefer ence rating and the recognized waste dealers in communities collecting the scrap .will prepare it under specifica tions and arrange for shipment to the smelter. The waste material dealer will be reimbursed for the actual labor or expense in handling. When the material is accepted hy the smelter, settlement will be made at prices fixed and the amount will be paid to the National Scrap Alum inum Fund. The proceeds will be de voted to civilian defense under plans to be announced later by Director Eiorella LaGuardia, Mayor of New York. Affects Business. Shortage Certain. The idea that business and lite will continue "as usual when the United States becomes fully engaged in its mammoth defense program is fast disappearing. The public is gradually understanding that many luxury and common items will not be available during the emergency and our habits and customs will be limited by the requirements of na tional defense. ' Among the changes probable to occur, according to Conservation Chief McConnell, of the OPM, are; Corks will disappear from bottle tops and beverages may not appear in tin cans; Galvanized utensils twill be less hardy and even silk .stockings may become scarcer when more para chutes are required. The ingred ients used in many cosmetics and creams may be needed for national defense and manufacturers will be urged to reduce the number of types they offer for sale in various lines. This is not surprising and .the American people will cheerfully co operate with officials, accepting whatever temporary inconveniences may be necessary to insure the safe ty and security of this country.

The North Carolina Farm Bureau Federation, under the leadership of J. E. Winslow, Greenville, President, and R. Flake Shaw, Greensboro, Sec retary, is calling four district meet ings in four different cities of North Carolina to discuss with the farmeis of this state the vital questions fac ing North Carolina Agriculture as a result of present unstabilized condi tions throughout the world. The dis cussions will be under the supenHsion of Walter L. Randolph, President ol the Alabama Farm Bureau Federa tion, and an expert on the cotton problems of the south. Mr. Randolph Iwas one of the leaders in the con gressional fight for 85 percent parity. In addition to Mr. Randolph, J. B. Hutson, President of the Commodity Credit Corporation and perhaps the best informed man in the United States on flue-cured tobacco, will ad dress the Greenville meeting; and Ben Kilgore, Executive Secretary ol the Kentucky Farm Bureau and James Thigpen of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, will ad dress the Asheville and Greensboro meetings. Final plans have not been made for the Gastonia meeting. How ever, Mr. iShaw states that I. W. Duggan, director of the Southern Region, has been invited to discuss the cotton situation. President Winslow and Secretary bhaw state that these meetings are Demg canea lor the tollowing pur poses. 1. To explain Farm Bureau Par ity Loan Legislation recently passed by Congress and the benefits each individual farmer will receive from this new legislation. 2. To plan organized movement throughout the state to get this tem porary parity legislation made per manent. 3. To inaugurate a campaign for parity loan benefits to producers of non-basic crops like truck crops, vegetables, etc. Dates and places of these meetings are as follows: Asheville, July 22nd, 10 A. M., As sembly Room, Court House. Greensboro, July 23rd, 10 A. M., Bessemer High School Building. Gastonia, July 24th, 10 A. M., Memorial Hall. Greenville, July 25th, College Au ditorium (Hour undetermined.) The North Carolina Farm Bureau, says Secretary Shaw, is very proud of its record in cooperation with the American Farm Bureau in sponsor ing the recent parity loan legislation in Congress which will mean $25, 000,000 additional money to our growers of tobacco, cotton, peanuts, and wheat, and we are anxious to ex plain all details of this new legisla tion to the farmers of the state, particularly just how each individual farmer will benefit therefrom. We hope, therefore, that we will have a representative attendance from every county at the district meeting most convenient for the counties to attend. Then, in addition we hope to work out a common agreed upon plan for getting behind a movement to make the above legislation permanent in stead of for only one year as the present law reads. Still another reason for the dis trict meetings, stated Secretary Shaw, is that we want some action now, that will extend the parity loan benefits to non-basic crops like truck crops, vegetables, etc. - We, therefore, urge every county to send a delegation of farmers from every community in the state. Section 119. Motor Vehicle Laws of North Carolina: "(a) Upon the approach of any police or fire de partment vehicle giving audible sig nal by bell, siren or exhaust whistle, the driver of every other vehicle shall immediately drive the same to a po sition as near as possible and parallel to the right hand edge or curb, clear of any intersection of highways, ana shall stop and remain in such position unless otherwise directed by a police or traffic officer until the police or fire department vehicle shall have passed. "(b) It shall be unlawful for the driver of any vehicle other than one on official business to follow any fire apparatus traveling in response to a fire alarm closer than one block or to drive into or park such vehicle within one block where fire appara tus has stopped in answer to a fire alarm.'' In other words, when a police car or fire truck approaches you with its bell or siren sounding, pull over to the right as far as you can and stop and wait for it to pass. If you are following a fire truck, stay at least a block behind it and park your ve hicle at least a block away from where the fire apparatus stops. that 12 garments had been made and turned over by the club. Mrs. W. D. Landing was awarded first prize and Mrs. Riddick Chap pell, second prize, for having made the most improvement in their yards.

HOME AND GARDEN CLUB HOLDS REGULAR MEETING The Hertford Home and Garden Club met Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Mark Hathaway with Mrs. George Fields as assistant host ess. Each member was received at the door and had a flower pinned on. The president, Mrs. E. L. Reed, call ed the meeting to order. "America, The Beautiful'' was sung and the Collect was repeated. Members unit ed in offering prayer. The secre tary read the minutes of the pre vious meeting and called the roll, each member answering with the name of a choice flower and telling something about it. Miss Maness gave an interesting talk on the care of various flowers. She also discussed insect control. Mrs. Mark Hathaway, club chair man for Red Cross work, reported What Possible Harm? "I'm sorry, madam," said the at tendant at the movie, "but you can't take that dog into the theatre." "How absurd," protested the wom an. "What harm can pictures do a little dog like this?" to Check K A NEWS and FACTS . of SMtwkh toftmf YOU CAW HELP! North Carolina's legalized brewing industry wants no law-violating ele ment within its ranks. It wants no beer outlets that use their licenses to mask anti-social activities. Hence the consistent effort under the "clean up or close wp" campaign to eliminate the comparatively few beer retailers who do not respect the privilege of their licenses. In cooperation with law enforce ment agencies, our Committee has made progress. But our goal is a 100 law-abiding business and we insist that all retail beer outlets be able to withstand the searchlight of public scrutiny, You can help us attain this objective by patronizing the orderly outlets in your community and reporting any unlawful conditions to officials or to this Committee.
