days audiences rolling in the aisles and if you're anything like anybody else, it'll have you in stitches.
 AS funny as Road to Singapore" and Road to Zanzibar" were, this one has them beaten. It seems as though the producers told Bing and Bob to go ahead and be themselves, and once in a while look at the script. The results are uproariously funny and leave nothing to be de- sired in the way of picture enter tainment.
 Road to Morocco tells the story of Bing's and Bob's adventures af- ter being shipwrecked on the coast of Morocco. They get involved with Princess Shalmar, portrayed by Dorothy Lamour and her jealous fiance Sheik Anthony Quinn.
 The involvement includes Shall mars purchase of Bob and Bing for two hundred dollars. She plans to marry him because 1t is written in the stars that her first husband will die unpleasantly within week after the wedding. Bob, of course, doesn't know his happiness is going to be extremely shortlived; neither does Bing. When they find out, things happen - the kind of things that will make Road to Morocco" live in the memory of all who enjoy a good, hearty laugh. There are so many gags in the picture that fans who have already seen it are argu ing with each other about which is the funniest. You're sure to agree with everyone that there isn't on completely sensible moment in the entire opus it's just all for laughs.
 In addition to this laugh hit the management presents a thriller, entitled, wildcat, a story of the exciting battle for Americas much needed oil. The film stars, Rich ard Arlen and pretty Airline Judge, and features William Frawley, Larry Buster" Crabbe, Arthur Hunnicutt and Elisha Cook, Jr.
 Plan now to see this smash show at the State, where you'll be seeing the best picture of 1943. Yes, folks, the State has a spectacular array of productions which will be shown during the coming year; in fact, it's the cream of the motion picture crop, and they're all coming to the State. ...-....

drama since "Mutiny On The Boun- ty."
 The picture tells the story of a gallant old destroyer, recommis- stoned and assigned to convoy duty on the Pacific, and its heroic crew. Taylor plays young lieutenant and Donlevy his superior officer. With their men they fight off Jap air. craft. stage a successful attack on battleship, under a smoke screen. and bring convoy safely into port. Charles Laughton, as an American admiral. has an address that for patriotism and inspiration recalls his famous reading of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
 Its action laid almost entirely at sea on the destroyer, the picture provides many amazing and excit- ing episodes, made possible through cooperation of the United States Navy. Robert 2. Leonard. usually associated with pictures like, "The Great ziegfeld," directed with delft skill, and photography by Charles Kosher was graphic and, in roman tic moments, of great beauty.
 Comedy is contributed by Walter Brennan as veteran yoeman and Chill Wills, as a petty officer. Rich ard Quine, Douglas Fowley, Marta Lindon, Marilyn Maxwell, and Inez Cooper are among the principals.
 Comedy is injected by the rescue of twenty babies found adrift in a lifeboat, which the hard-bitten sea fighters have to care for between attacks.
 For it's second feature. the Strand Theater presents Max Baer in "The McGuerins From Brook lyn," with Grace Bradley.

A Paying Investment

A prominent Ashe county person re-
marked this week that he was in favor OF
vocational agriculture in the schools OF the
county, but he did not know where the
money was coming from.
In a case like this where the county is
sure of definite returns, we believe ar
rangements can and will be made for the
money. We must remember that when we
invest in vocational agriculture we are
giving our boys something worthwhile
something that will enable them to remain
here in the county and become good farm
ers and in doing so they will increase the
value of Ashe county property. Not only
from the standpoint of good citizenship in
creased valuation in property, will this IN
vestment pay.
We commend the County Board OF
Commissioners on their tentative agree
ment to assist in the establishment OF such
departments and we urge that school au-
thorities and others continue to work to-
ward their establishment for we must have
vocational agriculture.

of the House and on the Senate floor some
thing happened that has never taken place
before The Senators lauded the distin-
guished House Ways and Means Chairman.
Senators commencing him Included
Senators Byrd, Vanderberg and Walsh.
Among other things, Senator Walsh stated,
"There was one other member of the COM
mittee of conference to whom great credit
is due, and that is the noble and able Rep
resentative from North Carolina, MIR.
Doughton. When the crisis came over
whether we should disagree and have no
report, or bring report back to congress,
he stood alone among his conferees OF his
own political faith and decided that it
would be unfortunate for the Congress to
confess to the country its inability to pass
a tax bill at this time. His attitude was
most commendable and was taken under
circumstances which impressed every
member of the conference The depth of
feeling and sincere racking of his con-
science to reach decision deeply impress
sed every one of U.s."
During the long and bitter fight, Con-
gresham Doughton was sometimes accus-
ed by ardent Ruml plan advocates of an
unwillingness to compromise. But in the
final stages it was he who led the fight for
a compromise.
Starting July l Individual income tax
payers will pay-as-they-go and seventy
five percent of the current taxes will be
forgiven.
For having won one of the greatest and
most significant battles of his career, we
add our congratulations to Mr.. Doughton

More Pull pwood Is Needed
For War Effort Program

Needs for pulpwood in war ma
terials, greater than any needs ev-
er placed on the products of our
forests, have reached a point that
Donald Nelson, head of War Pro-
duction Board, has issued another
appeal to farmers and forest own
ers to make their pulpwood avail
able without delay, stated State
Forester J. S. Holmes today.
There is still much timber
available for pulpwood in the
State, he said, but usually it
should be marked out by trained
foresters, and these are available
in the six main districts and from
the state headquarters.
Pulpwood is vital as a material
for making explosives, plastics
paper, carton-board and many
other things which the vast war
machine eats in enormous quanti-
ties. There is enough at hand, il
was stated, but owners should
make their trees available at once
All are urged to report their sup
ply to the county agent, or ex-
tension forester, or to Mr.. Holmes
office in Raleigh. Experts will
promptly mark off the trees SC
that retimbering will be speeded
up and new crops will be helped
One source which may never
again be at such premium is that

Approve Farm,
Navy Measures
u. S. Senate Makes Largest
Naval Appropriation In
History

Washington - A $24,850, 000,-
600 naval appropriation bill-the
largest in history-and an $780,
100000 farm appropriation meas
ure containing a number of con-
troversial features were approved
by the senate appropriations COM
mittee. Senate action is due
soon.
The naval bill contains more
than $9,000,OOO,O00 for new ships,
and Sc, 5O0,000,000 for naval avia-
ton, in addition to funds for pay,
maintenance, subsistence, training
and other necessities.
1t sets up funds for an addition
al 27,642 combat and training
planes, on top of the 27,5OO nav
al planes heretofore appropriated
for.
If the senate follows an already
well established pattern on war
fund appropriations the naval
bill is assured of speedy and posi-
bly, unopposed passage. The agri-
culture supply bill, however, will
furnish plenty of room for debate.
Much of it is expected to center
on funds for the farm security ad-
ministration, which some senators
contend should be eliminated en-
tirely. The house appropriations
committee attempted to transfer
the functions of FSA to the farm
credit administration and the ag-
ricultural extension service. and
to reduce the amount available
for FSA activities, but the at
tempted transfer was blocked on
the point of order that it consti-
tuted an attempt to Iegislate in
an appropriations bill.
The senate committee allowed
FSA $29,00O,O0O for administra-
tive expenses and grants, S97, $780,
600 in borrowing authority was
making farm rehabilitation loans,
and $3O,OOO,OO0 for loans to ten
ants to purchase farms.
The senate group also restored
funds for federal crop insurance
and added $100,OOO,OOO additional
for soil conservation payments,
above the $3OO,OOO,OOO voted by
the house.

EXPEDIENT heat
And now, with the authority
which comes only from expert
ence, I am ready to tell all would
be chicken raisers that a brooder,
built of an old piece of tin, an
electric likht bulb and a torn ia
blecloth is a chickens idea of
heaven.
1t is true that this device does
Mt give chicks the gradual reduc-
ton of temperature which the
books say they must have, but
this very lack seemed to bring
out their resourcefulness and, as
consequence, the intelligence
level of my chicks undoubtedly
exceeds the brain-power of those
who have everything done for
them. For, after discovering that
the heat was not being regulated
instead of simply curling up tc
die, my chicks resorted to the
very sensible expedient of moving
close to the heat if they were cold
and away from it if they were
hot.
In other ways too, the chicks
had to adapt themselves to my
lack of knowledge Of the rudi-
ments of embarrassing. But
now, at the ripe age of three
weeks, they are all big, strong
and healthy and I can announce tc
anyone who is listening that
chicken raising is a cinch. Or
was that loud peep just heard
coming from the cellar the danger
signal?
