However, all that was en closed was the church page from last week's issue of the paper and taped neatly with cellophane tape in a most unbecoming way, right across the church page, were two liquor ads from the paper. There wasn't a name'or a note attached so we have no idea what the person was getting at by attaching a liquor ad to the church page, which wQ here at the paper thought ' "most unbecoming. We run liquor ads in our paper, but in the history of this newspaper "we have never placed one on the church, page". : Whoever wrote the letter didn't have the nerve to put their name : there wasn't even a return address but we bet they'll get this an swer.

Burns $10.25 and court costs, The Board of Perquimans County Commissioners meet ing here Monday in their May meeting voted to re quest Senator , J. Emmett Winslow, 1st District Senator and County Representative Archie T. Lane, Sr., to vote against and use their influ ence in defeating the pass age of SB317. 'The bill, the first property tax exemption bill of the session, was intro duced on Wednesday by Sen ator MacLean of Robeson and others, would exemnt property stored in public warehouses and intended for sale or resale. If this bill passes, it is very probable that much inventory now subject to taxation will find its way into public ware houses on January 1 of each year. However, it is also proba ble that a bill to exempt all inventories would then be in troduced. And owners of other kinds of property are seeking support for exemp tion favoring them. This would result in a major fight on our hands to protect, our property tax bases, and avoid a substantial shift of tax burden to real property. Also at Monday's meeting, J. K. White, Perquimans County Tax Collector, was ordered by the commission ers, to advertise in June and to sell on the first Monday in July, all real estate on which 1964 taxes are due and unpaid, in compliance with the laws of the Slate of North Carolina. - The Board approved the contract of W.

These insects usually infest the small grains the heavi est about the second week of May. To control these insects, dust must be ap plied by either an airplane or helicopter. There are several insecticides that can be used. These are DDT, Toxophcne' or 'the combina tion of DDT and Toxophene. applied . at the rate of 20 pounds tov the acre. . Sevin has also done a good job at the rate of 20 pounds oT 10 per cent to the acre. One of the best ways to detect army worms is to look for .birds diving into the small grain.
