With March Is so close at hand
Collector Hofferbert said it was i'm
portant that every taxpayer under.
stand his legal obligation to complete
his return on time.
This is a time for frankness, -
Collector Hofferbert added. much

Southern States Coop.

Balloting on several matters of
Southern States Cooperatives policy
took place when members OF local
Southern States boards held series
of AZ regional board meetings
throughout the organizations terri
tory of Virginia, West Virginia,
Maryland and Delaware, according to
H. H. Nuttle, Denton, who presided
over the meeting held in Elkton.
The consensus of opinion was that
patronage refunds should be paid in
stock, tfateth period during which
voting stock is left outstanding
should continue to be 10 years, that
delegates nominate Southern States
directors by mail in advance of the
annual meeting, and that patrons
annual meetings be held this year il
TRANSPORTATION restrictions become
no more severe. These opinions will
be presented to the board OF directors
of Southern States Cooperative for
their consideration.
That the whole food production
program of the nation is still in a
muddle was brought out at each
meeting. Farmers are not told what
prices they can expect, what the
rules of the game are to be-" The
planting season is almost here, and
farmers still do not know how to
make production plans. The fact that
food has won and lost wars was en-
phasized.
Despite the fact that the nation
has had seven good crop years in
succession, our grain reserves, and
food reserves generally, are so de-
pleted as to be practically non-exis-
tent, the farmers were reminded. The
prediction was made that because OF
the bad weather and soil moisture
conditions brought about by the
drought, the soil moisture is so de-
pleted that yields are cartain to be
low in 1914 even if we have good
weather from now on.

tailed 1879. The So persons who at

War Zones Safer
Than Home

The toll of accidents at home is
greater than the casualties on our
own battle fronts. The National Safe
ty Council has released figures show
ing that in 1943 accidents took a
toll of 94,500 persons killed and
100000 injured. The cost in dol
lars was $5,00O,O 900.
A total of 41,500 workers lost
their lives off and on the job. 1t has
oeen estimated that the time lost
because of mishaps was equivalent
to a complete shutdown for a full
year of war plants employing 1907
900 persons. Although the fatalities
in 1943 were 1a percent under
those for 1912, nevertheless the ac-
cidents were 8 per cent greater in
1943 than in 1912.
Motor car accidents were respon-
sible for 23,300 deaths and this was
almost 5000 under the total for
1912 and the smallest number since
1925.
Deaths due to occupational causes
totaled $4,000, which is a drop of
per cent Notwithstanding a heavy in
crease in employment. Injuries to
workers totaled. 1,S50,0O0, a per
cent gain.
A strange part of these statistics
is the fact that home accidents kill
ed $4,000. This represents an in
crease of 5 percent. Home injuries to-
tailed 4,950,000. Public accidents,
not counting motor car accidents, ac-
counted for 1880 deaths. This is an
increase of 3 per cent.
Here are some other statistics
while on the subject: $4,000 persons
met death from falls; burns caused
$500 deaths drownings wer e
1900. These all were an increase
over the figures for. 1912. Accidents
Killing five people or over were more
frequent in 1943 than. for the pre-
ceding year.

school.
The test takes two hours. 1t en-
plyos the "best answer" technique
in which the student checks one OF a
group of answers as the most nearly
correct response to a question. TAX
ing, the test does not constitute an
enlistment in the armed services
but the student must express pre-
ference for the Army or Navy.
Those who failed to qualifysin pre-
vious tests are eligible for the one
