The Hyde County Red Cross Chapter Presents The War Fund Honor Roll Decisive Moment in History B. Parker 1.00 MORE GARDENS NEEDED Maybe it is due to the memory of aching muscles. Maybe they were discouraged by jxior results last year. Maybe it is just plain laziness. But for some reason, according to a survey by the American Institute of Public Opinion, a million less families are planning to have Victory Gardens this year than had them last year. We imagine a few warm spring days may change the picture. A lot of people who vowed “no more gardens” when they put their tools away last year are apt to give in when they see their neighbors start planting. But, although it indicates a slackening of war interest on the part of some families when they are willing to stop gardening when food is needed more than ever, there is some comfort in the report that 25 per cent of all families which are planning a garden in 1944 intend to make it bigger than last year’s garden. According to the Institute’s figures there were 20,600,000 Victory gardens last year and there are only 19,600,000 planned for this year. With the goal set at 22,000,000 for 1944, something needs to be done quickly to convince 2,400,000 families that it is to their own interests as well as a patriotic duty to get digging. 36,365,697 MOTOR VEHICLES A world motor census recently compiled by a publica tion known as the American Automobile shows that despite wartime automobile casualties and the ban on the sale of new automobiles, this country still is head and shoulders above all of the rest of the world combined in automobile population. The figures show that, exclusive of military vehicles, there are now 36,365,697 cars, trucks and buses in opera tion throughout the world. Of this total, 32,677,797 are in the Western Hemisphere and 30,227,863 are in the United ci.lOlT0 But despite the high automobile population remaining in our country today, which is only a little less than one vehicle per family, the total is almost 3,000,000 below what it was in 1939, the peak year. In other countries the war casualties of motor vehicles have been much greater than here. For in 1939 the world motor vehicle population had reached over 44 million in dicating a total loss, since the war began, of about eight million. Because of the care which Americans have given to their cars during the past two years, our country is today apparently much better off, so far as motor transportation is concerned, than the most optimistic analysts predicted when the automobile industry went to war. 90WN~and FARM in WARTIME ' rrtporad by OFFICE OF WAR INFORMATION JOBS FOR VETERANS For men discharged from any of the United States armed services, a summary of job opportunities in 114 major industrial centers will be placed in nearly every local U. 6. Employment Service office, the War Manpower Commission an nounces. These job summaries give information on types of jobs, sche duled hours of work, hourly wage rates, availability of housing, cost of living, and the adequacy of com munity facilities such as schools, hospitals, and transportation. The summary will be revised bi-month ly and will indicate the expected labor demand six months in ad vance. Special Gasoline Rations Full-time paid employes of farm organizations operating to increase food production are eligible for preferred mileage under gosoline rationing, the OPA announced. Their organizations must be char tered by the United States, or by a state and have a membership of at least 100 persons, the majority of whom are farmers. Also, qualifi ed Victory gardeners again will be granted special gasoline rations for up to 300 miles of travel to and from their plots this summer. and Russia, 5 per cent to U. S. civ ilians, 1 per cent to liberated areas and 1 per cent for other exports. WPB says that: A “farm” is a property used primarily for the raising of crops, livestock, dairy products, poultry, etc., for market, and on such property $1,000 or less may be spent for construction, in cluding farm house, without appro val ... In view of the continued critical shortage of pulpwood for paper and paperboard, farmers, as well as every lull-time woodcutter, should continue to cut as much pulpwood as possible . . . Some electric alarm clocks and 1,200,000 war alarm clocks (many for mili tary needs) will be produced and distributed during the second quar ter of 1944 ... A cut of 10 per cent in civilian leather for shoe re pairs and 13 per cent for new shoes has been made for 1944 . . . Pro duction of cutlery made of stain less steel has been permitted and products should be available at re tail counters in three to four months. 1.00 Miss Blanche Howard 1.00 Mr. Amasa Fulcher 2.00 Mr. T.

Taylor .. .60 1.00 1.00 Farmers are the only federal in come taxpayers w'ho have the choice of filing their declaration of esti mated 1944 tax by April 16 or i waiting until December 15, the Bureau of Internal Revenue says. Farmers as defined by the tax laws are those who receive 80 per cent of their income from agricul ture. Before a farmer decides on his choise for a filing date, the Bureau reminds him that if he files by April 15 he can make his income payments in four quarterly install ments, but if he waits until De cember 15, he will have to pay the whole years estimated tax at that time. Under the pay-as-you-go system choice for a filing date, the Bureau filing dates because seasonal farm ing hazards might make it diffi cult for some farmers to estimate their income and calculate their es timated tax as early as April 15. For the farmer whose income is fairly steady through the year, the Bureau points out that it may be advantageous to file early and qualify for installment payments. The farmer who chooses the April 15 date may figure his tax either by estimating his prospect ive income for 1944 or by assum ing it will be the same as last year. If he bases his tax on last year’s income and this year’s rates and exemptions and his payments are made on time, he will not be pen alized if his estimate falls short. Otherwise, a farmer’s estimates will draw no penalty unless it is more than 33 1-3 per cent short. In any case, April 15 estimates may be amended June 15, September 15 or December 15. The law requires a single farm er to file a declaration if he ex pects his income this year to be $500 or more, and a married far mer must file if he expects his in come—apart from his wife’s—to be more than $624 or if his income combined with his wife’s is $1,200 or more. TIMELY SUGGESTIONS FOR EGG PRODUCERS Laying flocks must be culled down until 60 per cent production is obtained if the grower is to break even or make any profits under present conditions, says C. F. Parrish, in charge of Extension poultry work at N. C. State Col lege. He suggests that all fat and broody hens and all non-layers be removed from the flock. Plenty of green feed should be provided and it is best to feed about 5 pounds of green feed a day per 100 hens, according to Parrifeh. This practice enables the grower to save about 10 to 15 per cent on his feed costs.

The Bureau of Standards has tested hundreds of them with out finding beneficial results in any case. Merchant Marine Calls Radiomen At least 500 first and second- class commercial radio telegraph ers, licensed by the Federal Com munications Commission, are need ed for merchant marine service within the ne.xt three months, the War Sh'nning Adminisi-’-ition an nounced Onalified men should tel- egran’'. coller-t. at onee to U.

Round-up The War Administration says: The public should consume more eggs, at least through mid-May, to take care of an anticipated record production amounting to at least 350 eggs for each civilian during 1944 . . . About 70 per cent of the 1944-45 supply of dehydrated vege tables will be allocated to U. S. war uses, 23 per cent to Great Britain OPA says that: Consumers buy-1 ing meat directly from farmers! may continue to use the red stamps A8 and M8, plus the next 18 stamps in Book Four . . . The over all 1944 retail prices of early on ions will be somewhat above those of 1943, but below the current “go ing’ prices . . . The retail ceiling price for book matches with non commercial designs on the cover is 14 cents per box of 50 books at in dependent stores, and 13 cents, or 2 boxes for 25 cents, at chain stores and super -markets . . . Retail prices of fresh dressed hali but were recently reduced for con sumers in eastern states, and for the first time in almost a year adequate supplies of this fish will be available for consumers living west of the Rocky mountains . . . Prices for used automotive parts usable without rebuilding must not exceed 75 per cent of list price for the parts when new, and for parts which must be rebuilt before being usable, must not exceed 30 per cent of the original list price. . .
