Mr. Johnson was in charge of the chapel program' Monday morning. The following letter was received last week from a former student of P. C. H. S.: "My Dear Mrs. Barbee, and Per sonnel of 'The Per-Co-Hi-Tattler,' "I just have to drop a line to let you know how much I enjoy your column in The Perquimans Weekly. Al though some of the names are strange to me, I think I know the majority. It seems that a week never goes by without Charles Skin ner's name being used. He is a very nice boy, and I imagine the most popular. "I hope that some day the school will be able to have a paper of its own.. "Very truly yours, "Cpl. Elmo H. Cannon, "U. S. A. A. F." Coal Tar Product Controls Parasites Phenothiazine, a synthetic coal-tar product, has proved to be effective against six species of worm parasites of sheep and goats, foVir species in cattle, two in swine, one in poultry, and numerous roundworms of horses, says the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Agricultural Research Founda tion. This chemical has found its princi pal use, however, in preventing and removing parasites from sheep. Dr. J. E. Foster, associate in Animal Husbandry for the Agricultural Ex periment Station at State College, reports that "phenothiazine is not only equal to the drugs that have formerly been used in ; drenching sheep in the removal of stomach worms but it is also very effective in treating sheep for the much dreaded nodular worm." He points out that loss of meat and wool, as well as intestines of sheep, should be avoided in the prose cution of the war. "Why feed para sites when our animals need feed and our people need meat?"

TME SALES CLEAN FRIENDLY POPULAR SAFE SOBER TAX I Have Relief From Burdensome Taxes At This Time, When the Treasury Surplus Justifies Reduction, By Nominating Ralph McDo nald For Governor In the May Primary. Ralph McDonald Flatly Declares He Will Recommend Repeal of Sales Tax and Reduction of State Income Taxes (Excerpt from Speech April 13, 1944, Roanoke Rapids, N. C.) "The State has given its solemn pledge in this mat ter," he declared. "When the Sales Tax was passed in 1933, Governor Ehringhaus declared that it was with the distinct understanding that it would be an (emergency measure' only). All other legislative and party leaders said the same thing. The Democratic party has no hon est or honorable choice in this matter except to fulfill its solemn pledge, and I shall ask the Legislature of 1945 to do just that. If it should ever become necessary to levy emergency taxes again, the people will accept these taxes more willingly if we keep faith with them new," he said. McDonald declared that payment of this State debt as he has advocated and repeal of the Sales Tax by the Legislature of 1945 would still leave a current sur plus of more than $7,000,000 a year in the General Fund to use for. increasing needed appropriations. "There can no longer be any reasonable argument against fulfilling the pledge on the Sales Tax," said McDonald. "If the Legislature back in 1941 had repealed the Sales Tax out right three years ago, we would still have a surplus piled up in the general fund. With the debt paid as I have proposed, there will be $5,000,000 a year more saved in the General Fund. "We can obviously do without the Sales tax and in crease appropriations at the same time," MacDonald de clared. "With $7,000,000 of extra money in the General Fund each year, we could make the war bonus for em ployes a permanent increase and add another increase of 15 pet cent above that and still have money left over in the General Fund. And $7,000,000 is a rock bottom es timate of the annual margin. Conservative indications are that the annual margin without the Sales Tax revenue would be $12,000,000 above all present expenses after the General Fund debt is paid. What many people over look is the fact that the Legislature would have a perfect right to re-enact the Sales Tax if it should ever be needed in the future," said McDonald. (Excerpt from Speech April 20, Mount Airy, N. C.) "In 1927 I published some studies at Duke Univer sity recommending strongly that tax on real estate in North Carolina be greatly reduced, and that the State tax on real property be abolished altogether," said McDon ald. "Since that time I have fought consistently to get rid of the State tax on real property and to keep it off." McDonald declared that his opposition to the State tax on real estate is based on the same principles as his op position to a general sales tax. "After the State debt is paid, as I have been proposing for the past year, we shall have $35,000,000 a year more revenue than the total ex penses of the State government at present. I am em phatically proposing that we use part of this excess of $35,000,000 for better schools. and other improvements, and THAT WE GIVE THE OTHER PART OF THE EXTRA REVENUE BACK TO THE PEOPLE IN TAX REDUCTION BY GETTING RID OF THE EMERGENCY SALES TAX AND GRANTING CER TAIN MODEST REDUCTIONS IN THE PERSONAL INCOME TAX. Under no circumstances would I ever permit a tax on real estate by the State." This Advertisement Paid For By Supporters of McDonald In Perquimans County PWV1"' wnftniiw'iiii Mii" wAr iff- 1 i ,4 r L
