DETAILS OF INTANGIBLE
TAX LAW EXPLAINED
CONTINUED from Page One)

Continued from rage OneJ
With county tax rate of $1.4O per
500, the total tax on $1,000 would
be $14.OO.
However, taxes on intangible
property listed in 1887 must be
paid, but intangibles are not to be
listed for city and county taxes in
1888.
Mr.. Rousseau explains that this
doesn't mean that the counties and
cities will not receive revenue from
the sources any more. The amount
Of money collected under the new
tax law will be divided with the
cities and counties. He states that
he believes that the counties and
cities, under the new plan, will re-
ceive more taxes than they former
ly got, as these items were seldom
listed at their real amounts. :
BY making a clean breast of their
intangibles before March Is, tax
payers will not be liable for city
and county taxes for prior years if
they had failed to list the intan-
gibles, he declared.
Usual penalties are imposed upon
those who fail to list this tax.

Virginia-C Carolina, And Lansing
Hi Teams Meet Tomorrow Night
Most Significant Games OF Sea-
son To Be Played AT Lansing.
Several Upsets.

Two of the most significant games
of the season in the Ashe county
division of the Appalachian High
School association are scheduled to
be played tomorrow night when
the indicated, tournament lead
ing Virginia. Carolina teams play
the threatening, alert Lansing high
school cagers at Lansing.
The Grassy Greek teams have
both won eight games, but their
leadership in the tournment is be-
ing challenged by both Lansing
teams now occupying the second
place berth, with victories and 2
losses. This is the first time that
these two schools have met and
the outcome of the games may de-
termine the winners for the season
unless both clubs hit slump and
some of the other teams overtake
them, which could easily happen.
During the past week two upsets
were registered. Tuesday night
Riveriew boys lost to Fleetwood
and Healing Springs boys defeated
Jefferson 26 to 49,. In the girls con-
tests, there were some mild upsets.
The dopsteers had predicted that
Jefferson would defeat Healing
Springs and West jefferson came
through with three straight victo-
ries, thereby climbing into third
place and issuing a challenge to the
top-notchers. GINS
The games between the Jeffer-
sons were highly exciting and up
until the final whistle, no one knew
which team would win, They were
rather equally matched.
The Grassy Creek teams centln-
ued to win by substantial margins,
while the Lansing boys were de-
feated during an extra period by
Riverview. Todd boys came
through for their first victory in 10
games when they defeated Healing
Springs. g6fo@s
All teams are showing much i'm
provement.

Ashe Red Cross
Chapter Appeals
For Relief Funds
NEED
Appeal for fl,

Appeal for fl i TOT
relief of millions og men,
women. and children china was
made yesterday by L. P. Colvard'
chairman of Ashe County Red Cross
CHAPTER, who announced that at
the suggestion of President Roose-
welt. chapters throughout the coun-
try were joining in an appeal.
'Tn asking our community to as
sist in raising this fund.-" Mr.. Col
ward said, "there is little need to
emphasize appalling conditions ex-
listing around Shanghai and other
cities, inasmuch as newspapers,
newsreels, and radio have vividiy
pictured conditions that exist"
He said that this money would be
allocated to relief agencies and hos
pitals already existing, and that a
committee of American business
men in China, appointed by the Am
erican Ambassador, Nelson T. John
son, would be formed to distribute
the fund. No personnel will be
sent from the United States.
"In addition to the urgent need
him that 65O,OO0 sick and homeless
ing. one of the great needs in China
at the present time is for medical
assistance" Mr.. Coward said.
"Great danger exists that epidemics
may break out" f
Admiral Cary T.. Grayson, nation
al Red Cross chairman, said Ameri-
can officials in China had informed
him that $4,000 sick and hoeless
persons were crowding the Interna-
tional Settlement and Greater
and Greater Shanghai at the pres
ent time, with many times that
number scattered throughout coast
al and interior cities, towns, and
villages that have been devastated.
The national chairman also point
ed out that lack Of adequate hous-
ing facilities for the homeless was
aggravating the health problem
and that existing public shelters
had long been over-crowded, result
ing in thousands OF homeless beings
forced to hurdle under straw mat
ting shelters without sufficient pro-
lection from SHOWS cold rains
sweeping over the country.
Alleys and doorways in the towns
and cities were crowded with be-
wildered men, women, and chill
dren, Americans on the scene re-
ported, and since railway services
had been disrupted there was nc
way to evacuates them to other
areas. Ia
s.An offer of assistance to the Jap

'sThe Red Cross has become an
international symbol of mercy" Mr..
Coward said, "and there is great
need for our cooperation at this
time. I am sure that our appeal

and homeless thousands in China"
All ministers and school leaders

WATR Notes

A continuing WATR weekly feat ture is the hour and 8 half sym phony program heard Fridays from 3 to 4:30. The symphony session, which was fortunate recently in ob- taining the services of Yale Music school instructor as its narrator, originates in the New Haven studios of the Connecticut Broadcasting system, reaching Waterbury listen- CTS by special leased wire. Last week the program featured Beethoven's Third Symphony and this after noon'S show will likely be Brahms. [ The Waterbury WPA Dance or chestra got the official o. k. on its airing sessions to the Conn. B. & this week. The green light was giv- en by the state director of the Works Progress administration, who has since informed Washington of the worthy new WPA undertaking.
 Phil Crosse, radios newest tenor, airs tonight at 6:45 in 8 program of arias from favorite operas with a bar or two or three from popular semi -classicals. Anthony Barberi accompanies at the key board.
 The Universal Juvenile Revue, long a WATR sustaining and com- mercial kiddies' show has been signed by new sponsor for their Sunday afternoon airing. Revue is now heard Saturdays at 10:OO a. m. and Sunday afternoons at 4:30. The professional-like kiddies' revue seem- ingly never lacks commercial packer.

honor of the occasion.
 There is an English recipe which my cook usually brings out when she wants something out of the ordinary, and very delicious it is, too. We often find it before us on Easter morning.
 Eggs In Toast Nests
 Another trick of serving eggs that this cook has is a simple one that its, nevertheless, delicious and ef- fective, too. A round loaf of bread is bought (often it is a tasty cheese bread made in the round crinkled bread pan), and cut into sections about two inches tall. The crust is trimmed and the center part hol- lowed out about half down in depth. Then the bread is brushed with melted butter, inside and out. A large egg is dropped into each nest, sprinkled with salt and pepper, little bit of grated cheese and pa- prika. The nests are set in a pan in moderate oven and baked un- til the bread begins to brown lightly and the eggs are set. A sprig of parsley is used for garnishing, and either tomato SauSe, cream or cheese sauce served over the eggs. In case the cheese bread has been used, the plain cream sauce seasoned with a little finely minced onion or minced chives or parsley is preferred. And bacon curls make 8 nice addition in either case.

THE EASTER HAM
 IS TRADITIONAL
Accompanied By New Car- rots, Asparagus, Water
 Cress, New Potatoes

The Easter story is age-old yet ever new in spirit. The renewal of life that Easter represents is ex- pressed everywhere in nature; a freer, gayer spirit, new growth in field and garden, new raiment, fresh new foods, and fuller, more abundant life in general. How ap- propriate to celebrate that happy day with delicious Easter dinner with all the trimmings. Build the menu around that traditional Easter meat-a glorious baked ham. Gar nish it with gay, fresh fruits and crisp spring greens and serve 1t with all the fresh spring vegetables you can muster. New little car rots, fresh asparagus, new rhubarb, strawberries, watercress and little new potatoes are spring foods which set off this Easter ham dinner in tip-top style.
 Who set this tradition of ham for Easter? It goes back farther than Easter itself having its origin in pre- Christian spring festivals at which the countryside gathered with all their finest foods for the feast. One of the choicest of these foods was cured pork-hardly ham as we know it today in all its pink perfection, but its ancestor nevertheless. These first attempts at ham were dry, salty and shrivelled, but they were rel iShed anyway.
 The 1888 Easter ham may be a work of art with so little preliminary preparations that you'll be amazed. For the new hams, and they are very new indeed, require the mini mum of cooking time and absolutely no parboiling. New methods of manufacture have perfected the cur ing and smoking so that instead of the usual 25 to 30 minutes per pound allowed for their cooking they now require only 16 to 18 minutes to the pound and in very slow oven, too. Large hams Cover IS poundS) require only IS minutes to the pound. Fig ure the difference in time on a 10 or 12 pound ham and you'll find that you have saved an hour to an hour and one-half in the cooking

THE CHILDREN'S TABLE- Some Suggestions For A
 Gay Easter Breakfast
BY MARY HOPE NORRlS- FOunder-MOthers' Radio Round Table

1 dren-is just around the corner.
 If you do not mind a little ex- tra work you can make the occa- sion even more decorative by hav- ing at each place a Spring Maid favor. On top of wire wrapped with crepe paper and bent in a flat spiral at the base so it will stand, stick a marshmallow for the face of your flapper doll. A few crepe paper ruffles attached to the paper covered wire will make her frock. Then make an Easter bon net, either in contrasting or same color as the frock. To make the marshmallow resemble face, dip the end of toothpick in melted chocolate and draw the features.
 For the family Easter breakfast the following menu is slightly fes- tive, yet easy to prepare:
 Sliced Banana in Orange Juice
 Ready-to-Eat Cereal-Top Milk Eggs in Bacon Rings Miniature Hot Cross Buns-Butter
 Hot Chocolate-Whipped Cream or MarShmallOW Topping Coffee for Adults)
 Eggs in Bacon Rings
 Butter the inside of ramekins or earthenware custard cups. Fry or broil strips of bacon, being careful to have them not too dry and crisp. Line each cup with a slice of bacon; into the center of each slip an egg. Season with salt, very little pepper, and covering of grated cheese. Set in warm oven until whites of eggs coagu- late. In cooking eggs, always re- member to cook them at a low temperature. They are more di- gestible and more delicate in tex ture.

which are delight to all young sters, both boys and girls.
 Do have this hunt out of doors weather permitting. And remem- Der the frantic rush to srls- pected caches and the gay laugh ter mean a merry Easter break fast. Your orderly table may be heaped with eggs, the prize bun nies and chicks, but the radiant faces of the little folks will more than compensate for any disorder.
 The Easter legend, like the an- ticipation of Santa Claus at Christmas time, makes sleepy lit tie eyes open early. Joy awaits them, and they must be up and at it. Because of this, Easter breakfasts should be somewhat fes- tive as to table decorations and foods.
