Program for Dividing Taxes
Worked Out by Prince Georges

explained, aQQlng IL WOulQ De mdoe
on a basis of the number of auto
mobiles in each area.
Town clerks will be required to
submit certified lists of car owners
to the county treasurer before re-
ceiving any funds.
Half of the revenue received from
race tracks will be returned to the
county, with incorporated towns re-
ceiving half of this. Special i'm
provement districts will not benefit
from these taxes, the committee
said.
Use of Funds Limited.
Such funds may be used only for
street improvements and utilities
by either towns or the county, al
though incorporated sections may
use the money for garbage and
trash collections, Mr.. Burnside said.
Towns and special improvement
districts also will benefit up to 25
per cent, or half of the county's
share, from the gasoline tax rev.
enue, with money to be spent only
for road improvements. The funds
will be distributed on a basis of ac-
tual total mileage in each COM
munity.
Neither the county nor towns will
benefit directly from the sales and
use of tax revenues. Such money,
Mr.. Burnside said, will be applied by
the State for schools and road i'm
provements where necessary.
At the same time the tax-study
committee announced that both in
corporated towns and counties are
authorized to impose a one-half of
I per cent tax on amusements. The
State already has a similar tax on
amusements, which is in addition
to Federal taxes.
Members Listed.
Included on the committee be-
sides Mr.. Burnside were: Linden
Briscoe, clerk to the commissioners;
James B. Bland, county treasurer;
Louis W. Kutsch, county supervisor
of assessments, and County En-
gineer Arthur w. Tayman.
The commissioners, in other busi-
ness, directed letters be sent to the
Is committing magistrates, or
justices of the peace, in the county
in protest against alleged tardiness
by some in preparing warrants and
other necessary papers.
Reminding the magistrates that
papers should be filed the same
day as the arrests, the commission
ers warned action would be taken
where magistrates fail to comply
with the boards request to speed
UP their work.

The boys know it's unsafe. The
police have chased them away often
enough. They've been told that
boys have drowned because the cur
rent is too strong, the sudden drops
too deep for a small boy:
But they come back because they
want to swim and they have no
place else to go.
Nine-year- -old Bill is one of them.
But Bill has memory.
Once Bill tells whomever will
listen, Il went away from here for
whole day. My uncle took me to
Chesapeake Beach. 1t was long
time ago, and I don't remember
much except the water. Boy, the
water was good. 1t was clean. I'd
swim all day and all night in water
like that. If I could go to
camp T."
This 9-year- old and the other boys
who risk their lives every hot day
in the river can go to camp if
enough people of Washington con-
tribute enough dollars to send them
to Camp Good VIII or Camp Pleas
ant.
/ For $40, Bill could swim to his
hearts content every day, twice a
day for two weeks. He would do his
swimming in a clear, clean pool in
the woods, a pool always guarded by
swimming counsellors. e'
For $50, Bill could spend three
weeks at camp-three weeks he
could remember as he has remem-
bered the far-away day at Chesa-
peake Beach.
So far, enough funds have been
raised through the generosity of
open-hearted Washingtonians to
send 50 more boys and girls to camp
for at least two weeks. The goal is
two or three weeks of camp for 240
children.
II you want to help Bill and the
other boys and girls for whom gifts

Industry-Efficient Agriculture Needed

mississippi needs industry and efficient agrlcu
te to support home her native and daughters
DR. j. d. Williams chancellor of the University OF Mississippi told
members of the third annual mississippi Ali Cub Roundup d.
the Heidelberg hotel last week.
Chancellor Williams speaking at the Roundup banquet
said: =
industry of the state cannot find locally some
of highly staff needs Lack of educational resources
in the blocking the development of progressive balance
between local industry and efficient agriculture"
Explaining the net loss of population to mississippi
through migration 193540 approximately 285OO
persons DR. Williams said mississippi is importing men
and for managerial and executive positions IN
business other than farming
appears that Mississippi is failing to provide it's native
with the education and training for them to fill
the best jobs actually available in the state The opposite
for Mississippi Some of them must outside the
professional and executive opportunities they
desire"
The remarks of the able Ole Miss Chancellor to
phasze what have frequently pointed out that is the mpor
seeing that the right kind of opportunities
here at home to young people
We should make certain they the kind of training
needed to fill responsible positions the Magnolia state that
they will have leave their home state in order find
position suited to their training.
1t is also the authorities that the oppor
tnes existing in state industry and business pointed out to
the young people entering college Such help along vocational lines
might well be undertaken by college in the state.
Cooperation between state industry and the state school
could certainly be worked mutual advantage with indus

milk. He had rather take a chance
on his raw ungraded milk making
his customers sick.
There is only one reason, as l see
it, for anyone in Lexington buying
raw ungraded milk and that is; the
saving of a few pennies on quart.
If you don't think this is penny wise
and pound foolish ask Mr.. Reaves.
Some might say that they do not
like the taste of Pasteurized milk. l
know from personal experience that
this is a fleeting notion that soon
passes away. At first l didn't think
| liked pasteurized milk but now it
is fine, and the knowledge that it is
wholesome and safe is an added
joy.
The report has come to the Health
Department, first in whisper, but
now much louder, that raw ungraded
milk is being sold in Lexington. l
hope, nay, | pray these reports are
false but if they continue to come
in, the Health Department will be
duty bound to have these parties
brought into court. It is going to be
awfully embarrassing for some, we
have their names. They will be ask
ed one question, Have you sold any
raw ungraded milk in Lexington
since September 9Th, 1947?
This is our duty and we must dis
charge it. Someone said if we did
that, we would be run out of town.
Well, we had rather be run out of
town than to be run over.

To The People Of Lexington And Nearby Communities

After several cases of Undulant
Fever developed in and around Lex
ington from drinking raw ungraded
milk, the Mayor and Board of Alder
men, at the request of the Holmes
County Health Department passed
an ordinance requiring all milk sold
in Lexington to be Grade A Pasteur-
lied,
The one and only reason for pass
ing this law was to safeguard the
health of the people by furnishing
them good wholesome milk. 1t was
not the objective to hurt or incon-
vience anyone. In order not to hurt
or inconveince any of the producers
or people who sold milk, so days was
given after the passage of the ordi-
! nance before it became effective.
This was to give all who cared to,
time to qualify to furnish Grade A
milk.
On the strength of this ordinance
and with the interest of both pro-
ducers and consumers in mind, Mr..
Henry invested some twenty thous-
and dollars in a modern, up-to-date
Pasteurizing plant. am happy to say
there is not nicer Pasteurizing
, plant anywhere. Three of the pro-
ducers also spent quite a lot of
money building their barns up to
specifications and having their cows
tested and getting rid of the infected
ones.
This ordinance became a law and
was declared in effect September
9Th, l947 and to sell raw ungraded
milk in the City of Lexington after
that date is a violation of the law,
| Just the same as selling Whiskey is
a violation of the law. The same
principal is involved. The person
who wants to sell raw ungraded
milk in Lexington may say, this or
dinance is not right, l don't believe
| in it, it takes my privilege away
| from me and if my customers want
to buy my raw ungraded milk, I'll
| sell it to them TO make my profit,
| even if it makes them sick" The
| oooiSSSe4 says TIE same liliiS WHSL
he sells his whiskey. Some people
argue they had drunk raw ungraded
milk all their lives and it had not
made sick. This might be true
Some might say, Il have drunk bran
Oh water all my life and it has never
made me sick" Well that might be
true also, but would the people of
Lexington want to take a chance
by getting all their drinking water
out of branc' ?
AS l see it. there is only one ex-
cuse for anyone selling raw ungraded
milk in Lexington now and that is:
! he does not want to spend the neces-
sary money to qualify for Grade A

Bank debts ran above last Septem-
Der in all but two reporting cltleSs.
Forest and Canton-data from the
latter city was incomplete. Money or
ders issued dropped below the level
attained a year earlier in four cities
Brandon, Canton, Carthage and
Mendenhall These losses were small,
ranging from per cent to IL per
cent. Gains for this indicator varied
from 8 per cent in Walnut Grove to
80 per cent in Yazoo City. Postal
receipts fIuctuated a little more
with eight cities reporting losses and
six reporting gains. On the basis
of complete data jackson and Kos
ciusko had the best records for the
comparison. All major indicators
were positive in Jackson placing
general business Il per cent above
last September. Kosciusko had
similar record but the gain in that
city was slightly under 20 per cent
Other increases were: Durant, 3 per
cent; Forest, 4 per cent; Hazlehursts
8 per cent. Magee, 20 per cent; Men
denhall,' 9 per cent; Utica, 20 per cent
and Yazoo City, % per cent. Incom-
plete data indicated losses in Bran
don, Canton, and Carthage and
gain in Crystal Springs.
The comparison with the previous
month gave approximately the same
result. However, there was no loss
in general business activity shown
for any city. General business IN
the area was up about 18 per cent for
the comparison.
The chart for general business act
ivity in the city of Jackson placed
activity for the month 1872 per cent
in excess of the 1939-1940 average
This is well above either of the two
previous comparison periods.

Behind The Scenes In

people who hold long telephone
talks: shoulder rest that makes it
easy to hold the instrument between
shoulder and ear.
FOOD-Food is the key to the
future in many parts of the world.
That is why SO many agricultural col
leges are now busy conducting re-
search that will lead to making the
most of distillery by-products as an
aid to increased food production.
This research is supported by both
public groups and private organiza-
tons such as Schenley Distillers
Corp. 1t has proven that the grain
by-products are among the richest
and midst economical sources of pro-
tein, vitamins and other nutrients
necessary for increased production of
milk and other dairy products, larger
egg yields, and greater weight for
all types of livestock.
During the 1946-47 fiscal year, ac-
cording to Licensed Beverage In
dustries, Inc, distilleries in the
United States saved 409,600 tons OF
grain by-products and channeled
them to farm markets. The recovery
compares with $4,000 tons saved
during the previous fiscal year.
BITS O. BUSINESS-Over in
Poland, private news sources re-
veal, new American cars have be-
come a measure of how you stand
with the Communist Party. The
Polish government is able to get a
few American made cars by trading
coal with Scandinavian countries.
Then, heads of nationalized compani-
es who stand well with the CP can
occasionally get an American made
car But they pay a high price: cars
that sell here for $1,000 are snapped
up at from $4,000 to $4,000. Even that
bargain is available only to politi-
cans. Just an everyday citizen would
have to pay around $4,000 for a
small American car, the news re-
ports say. In Yugoslavia, where Tito
holds forth, they recently opened an
auto plant The plant, of course, is
government owned and operated
and it pays its workers the magnifi-
cent sum of Is to 80 cents an hour
for 48-hour week. In Russia, they
recently re-opened their one Moscow
auto plant. 1t produces one car a
day. Asked why they did not pro-
duce more, a plant director said
that's all we need"

| As predicted by economists, tht
higher margins clamped by the gov
eminent on the grain exchanges have
not halted price rises. The explana
ton is simple: government buying
| and not speculation, is the primary
| cause for higher grain prices. The
amount of wheat being sent abroad
| is truly a whopping bite out of the
total crop. In 1916, As per cent OF
that years crop was sent abroad
This years export goal "a record 500
million bushels) amounts to about
35 per cent of our total record crop.
After putting the heavier margins
on grain exchanges, the government
bought about So million bushels of
wheat in the open market. In that
period, wheat went up another 40
cents bushel to record $3.15. No
American begrudges the wheat we
are sending abroad. And the Amer
lean people, with their typical gen.
crosby, are willing to see wheat
at high prices as price of helping
other people. After all, any con-
sumner knows that what is price to
him is income to the American farm
er. 1t is the attempt to place blame
on some innocent party that strikes
the observer as both unfair and I'M
American.
TIP ON SAVING-Carlos Camp
bell, economist and trade association
executive, has views about initiation
that are worth thinking about. In
times of high prices, he holds, there
is a greater opportunity for saving
than during a period of low prices
He reasons that periods like the pre-
sent offer more chances to exercise
'judicious spending" The smart
shopper, whose wages have been in
creased, looks for the opportunity to
spend these wages on items that have
not climbed so high in the initiation
spiral-items the production of
which has kept pace with increasing
demand. To prove that such products
actually exits today he cites survey
made in IA cities by his organization,
the National Gamers Association.
Compared with an overall price rise
of 40 per cent for all foods since the
middle of last year, the survey dis
closed that canned vegetables aver
aged for the most part six per cent
less and canned fruits averaged ap
proximately the same. One of the
most significant changes occurred
with canned citrus juices, which
averaged 40 per cent less than year
ago, the survey revealed.
- THINGS TO COME-Another new
hearing aid for women is about to
hit the market. This time it comes
in the form of small comb which
the hearing aid can be attached. The
hair hides the receiver. . AMER

trial microscope enabling workers to
drill holes as small in diameter as
human hair. 2. A new respirator to
protect workers against poisonous

It seems that no matter where |
happen to be, bump into Tom
Hudson. He is the radio announcer
on a number of network shows,
handsome fellow with lot of vi
tality. Years ago l met Tom when
he was announcing on Elliott Roose-
velt's Texas radio network IN TT
Worth and we became friends. Not
long after that l came to New York
and it was not so much longer that
both of us went into the army. There
l bumped into Tom again. Just the
other day l was walking through
Radio City and sure enough, there
was Tom Hudson coming along the
street-you have to live here to rea-
lie how seldom that it is that you
meet anyone whom you know on the
streets. Tom insisted that l go up to
his apartment with him on nearby
Sind Street. There I met John Loder'
ex-husband of Hedy Lamar, and
Mark O'Daniel, both of whom are
appearing in the new Broadway
show, "For Love or Money" asked
Loder. a big pleasant fellow, which
was most prominent in the show
love or money. Laughingly he repli-
ed that the way he was being payeu
lately, it must be love.

No doubt there are lot of anbi-
ticus young Americans who would
like to get job with the United
Nations. The other evening I heard
talk by John McDiarmod up at
Columbia University which was en-
tightening along these lines. McDiar-
mod is director of personnel at the
UN and he was there to answer the
inquiries of government students
who are ambitious to get into posi-
tions with an international aspect.
The personnel man said fatty that
now there are no opportunities for
Americans to get job with the
United Nations-that is with the ex--
ception of overhead personnel SUCH
as gardeners, typists, guards, etc. The
reason is that the staff is full and we
already have more than our quota OF
people employed, compared to those
of other member nations.
