The amount of money paid out to
furnish you with telephone service
is increasing faster than the amount
taken in. That's because telephone
materials, wages, services, and new
building costs have all gone I'D ire
m~endously, while telephone rates
have remained as low or lower than
they were many years ago. Tele-
phone earnings today are not only
the lowest in history, but are danger
ously low despite a record volume Of
business. Reasonable earnings are
required to safeguard the full use
fitness of the telephone for you and
your community.

Butler, British Public Relations
Chief in u. S., to Leave Post
Arrived in 1912 to
Spike Rumors Aimed
At Disruptinq Unity

| Harold Beresford Butler, in charge
since June, 1912, of British Empire
public relations in the United States,
will resign his post and return to
England "some time around April l."
1t was learned today.
The bluff, bespectacled British
Minister to Washington-6 feet tall
and weighing 100 pounds - had
already held down an important war
position when he took on the task
OF tirelessly and patiently spiking
enemy INSPIRED 'rumors designed to
disrupt Anglo-American unity. In
the critical year Of 1910 he was de-
fense commissioner Of Southern
England, charged with guarding
against an expected Nazi invasion
and with the air raid defense Of
1000 900 Inhabitants of the Ports
mouth-Southampton area.
Critical Job Here.
His Job here has been less Spec
tacular but equally critical. In q
series Of press conferences, state
ments, signed articles and letters
to editors, Mr.. Butler has pressed
for a fuller understanding by Amer
leans Of Britain's position and war
effort.
No decision has been reached on
a successor to Mr.. Butler in the Job
OF public relations chief here. It
is doubted by the Embassy that the
position, now that the war is over.
will carry the rank of Minister.
An inveterate pipe smoker, g.
year-old Mr.. Butler has achieved
during a long career taking him all
over the world-a fondness for good
Burgundy wine, the French fish stew
called bouillabaisse, and people OF
all sorts and conditions. He came
to Washington in 1919 as secretary
general Of the first international
Labor Conference, which got OIL to a
bad start because no ofiice space was
available here. He bemoaned this
fact one day in the Assistant Sec
retary OF the Navy, one Franklin D.
Roosevelt, who Immediately ordered
40 rooms in the Navy Building
cleared and made available to the
conference. It was the beginning
Of a long friendship.
Later Headed ILO.
Out Of that 1919 conference grew
the International Labor Organiza.
ton, one Of the solid achievements
OF the Inflated League of Nations,
MIR. Butler was its deputy director
until 1882, when he took over as
director. He held the position until
1888, touring America, Europe and
Asia to investigate labor conditions.
He is credited with a wide knowl-
edge of this country. particularly
with regard to the labor situation
here. Two of his books are en-
titled Industrial Relations in the
United States" and Unemployment
Problems in the United States" He
describes these, however. as "a spot
out of date and withholds com.
ment as to the present labor picture
Another subject on which Mr..
Butler regards himself as qualifying
as an expert is the business of be-
ing an uncle. At last count, he had
81 nephews and nieces.

Veteron's S Widow
Pays Back $4,000
Illegal Pension

A conscience stricken woman
has returned to the Veterans Ad-
ministration 81 800 in small denom-
ination bills and War Bonds with
face value of $3.50 in repayment
of pension she felt was Illegal.
The refund was made In a shoe
box delivered to VA with a letter
explaining the situation. The wom-
ans husband. veteran of the
World War, died in 1927. In 1881
she went to live with q man she
finally married In 1912. Pension
payments to the widow of the vet
eran were stopped after the mar
riage, but shea explained that she
shouldn't have accepted the pay
ments from 1881 to 1942.
Experts at the administration are
trying to ascertain If she should
have kept the pension payments.
The money and face value Of
bonds is almost equal to the pen
sion she received during the IL
years.

The Tar Heel
GARDENER
BY JOHN II. HARRIS,
\. c. State College

From now until frost, our greatest
worry in the garden will be dry
weather. What We need is less talk
and more action about the weather.
Sure, | know we can make 1t ram.
Perhaps most OF us feel about tne
weather like the practical tarmc4.
He replied, when asked to pray Tor
rain, 1t amt no use as long as the
Wlnd's in the South. The action 10
which | referred is not to make it
ram. but to condition our soil to
Withstand dry weather. This con-
dltloning is done by the addition Of
organic matter BY organic matter,
we mean straw, leaves, hay and 81
milar materials. This material may
be applied as a mulch on top of the
soil or it may be Incorporated into
the soil, When this material is mix
ed with the soil in large amounts,
there is danger of a nitrogen def
icicnCy in the crop that follows.
What happens is that the nitrogen
bacteria (Call them animals if you
Wish.) are busy at work decayln2
the organic matter and are not avail
able TO the plant until the organic
matter is decOmpCsed. At that time,
they. along with the nitrogen in the
organic matter, become available TO
the growing plants. The obvious an
sWer is to supply extra nitrogen suCn
as nitrate of soda when planting
areas that have had organic matter
recently turned under. This organic
matter, not only makes the soil more
retentiVc Of moisture, but is an eX-
cellent fertilizer as well.
All this talk about whether to use
organic or inorganic fertilizers is
ridiculous. In my estimation, the
organic enthusiasts have gone batty
on the subject. My advice is to keep
your soil high in organic matter Ut
burns out rapidly here in the South.)
because it makes it more workable,
increases its water holding capacity,
and it adds plant nutrients. | would
add, however, that inorganic fertl-
lizerS can and should be used When-
ever needed and in most cases they
will be needed. Let me assure you
that | know of no scientific facts that
can prove that the use of chemical
fertilizers are running our teeth and
health in general as some extremist
claim.

 Scoring Champ
By FRANK HARRINGTON United Press Sports Writer

Orono, Me. Feb. 23-UP)-The thin man from Rhode Island State entered collegiate basketball's hall of fame today with a record break ing four-year scoring mark of l,747 points against major college com petition.
 Ernie Shadow Calverly, l40- pound mighty mite from Pawtuck- ct, R. T.. netted 20 points in his teams 82 to 69 win over Maine University last night, to Wrest the honors from his former teammate Stanley (StutZ) Modzelewski who set the previous record of 1,73O in l942. while playing with Rhode Island State.
 Calyerly entered the game only three points away from the all- time mark and was the new titlist before three minutes Of play had passed The 2l-year-old sharp shooter then proceeded to pull his team from a ne-point deficit to its 18th win in IT starts.
 The U. s. Army Air Corps vet eran received the warmest rescep- ton of his career from his coach, the canny Frank Keaney who well comed his ace after the game with the remark that without a doubt, you are the perfect player the best have ever coached in 24 years" Keaney added that.
 "Calverly has the Surest hand of any player I've seen. He figures it's a bad shot when the ball nits the blackboard or even touches the rim of the basket. If it isn't a swisher, to Calverly, it's a failure.
