Saving Bonds Se!3s
In Perqiilmsns Hit
$178,941 For 1946
Sales of United Savings Bonds,
Series E and G, in Perquimans Coun
ty during the 12-month period end
ing December 31, 1946, totaled $178,
941.80. Broken down by series the
year's sales, at issue price, were as
follows: E bonds, $148,641:80; G
bonds, $30,300.00.
This information was contained in
an annual report on U. S. Savings
Bonds sales issued this week to R. M.
Riddic,k Jr., Perquimans County Sav
ings Bonds chairman, by Allison
James, State Savings Bonds Director,
in Greensboro.
Mr. Riddick announced, that ac
cording to the report, sales of Sav
ings Bonds for the entire State for
the same period were: E bonds,
$61,661,390.88, F bonds $6,522,866.00,
G bonds $30,008,800.00.
"Despite price increases and dis
ruptions of production in the first full
year of peace since 1941, Savings
Bonds in both the county and state
have exceeded all expectations," Mr.
Riddick stated. "This huge backlog
of savings, together with the war
time bond savings, of which 70 per
cent is still in the hands of the pur
chasers, will go a long way toward
maintaining a stable economy and in
avoiding a depression in Perquimans
Cqnnty and in our state," Mr. Riddick
said.
"The continued high .volume of Sav
ings Bonds sales is a tribute to the
thrift and financial good sense of the
people of our county and state," he
continued, "and also is a tribute to
the splendid support of our banks,
savings and loan associations, news
papers and radio stations, as well as
many other volunteers and volunteer
organizations that are carrying on in
this' important peace-time Treasury
thrift program."
. In conclusion, Mr. Riddick said that
we must keep right on saving and
building for the future with Savings
Bonds. "A dollar saved is better than
a dollar earned these days," he said.
hog Measure Is
Adopted By Grange
The North Carolina Grange has re
quested the' General Assembly to es
tablish the International log rule
"and no other" as the standard scale
for measuring logs and timber in the
State.
The decision followed a controver
sial hraring conducted by the Grange
expcutive committee on whether the
Internationa! rule or the Doyle rule,
now used, is the fairer and more prac
ticable method for determining the
board feet of timber.
The Grange claimed a 16-foot log,
10 inches in diameter, measures only
36 board feet by the Doyle rule, com
pared to 64 board feet if measured
by the International rule.
Use f the Doyle rule, as now prac
ticed in the State, prevents the far
mer from obtaining full value for his
timber, the Grange contended. ,

A Daniel Come To Judgment
Just after a new tax assessor had
taken office, a citizen orta certain mu
nicipality was astonished and dis
mayed by the receipt of a notice that
under "personal property, he was
taxed $24 as the possessor of one
goat.
He visited the new tax assessor and
demanded an, explanation.
"Why, I had to obey the law,'r was
the calm rejoinder.
"Law? What law?" snapped the
man with the tax bill.
"Just this," replied the assessor,
pointing to a passage in his law book,
"It says right here, 'For all property
bounding and abutting on the high'
way, $12 a foot'."
