j. X. Powell. state senator, has
introduced bill at Raleigh to
outlaw the sale Of beer except
IN legitimate cafes and restaur-
ants. In other words. beer could
not be sold at service stations
ard stores to be consumed on
the premises but could be sold
at such places if it were to be
taken home before it was con-
stunned. Seems that there would
be a sudden boom in cafe con-
struction should such a bill be
carried through. or else there
would be considerable beer guzz-
ling in cars behind buildings
here and round about.

Sixteen Columbus County Farm Bureau Delegates
Attend Statewide Convention al AsheviI|e, Nc.

ASHENILLE. N. G.. -- Sixteen
delegates of the American Farm
Bureau from Columbus county at
tended the statewide convention
in Asheville last week and heard
some of the foremost speakers in
the nation discuss various farm
problems and what could be done
about them.
The Columbus citizens who at
tended the meeting were: ID. Fl.
Jordan. &. c. Wright. Odis Gar
rell Joe Quircrly, Mr.. and Mrs.
Red Sessions Mrs. Harry Bullock,
Z. G.. Sutton. r.. Il. Smith. Tommy
Wootcn. Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon Pre-
waite, James Rogers, Billy Hooks,
il, Boy High. Sharp Turner and
w. Horace Carter.
The toacco farmers concern was
discussed fully at the meeting as
to whether he is going TO get the
once low price for his crop or
whether he can expect high prices
as have peen the case in the last
few years.
Carl Hicks chairman of the TC-
bacco committee, stated from the
earliest days OF the American
colonies. overproduCtion has been
q chronic curse and menace to
profitable culture of fluc-cured to-
baCco.
Ex-Governor J. Melville BrCugh-
ton at committee conference Oh
Monday discussed the current back
log of tobacco being held by hte
sterilization board and recon-
mendations were made by com
mitteemcn regarding what should
be done about this huge amount
of tobacco that is building up and
being held by the government. t
is English type tobacco but the
English do not have the means of
purchasing it at the present time.
AT the same meeting, it was EN-
phasized that there is Il labor
threat to the tobacco industry that
may be realized this year. The
Farm Bureau was instrumental in
breaking strike in a friendly
manner that pleased both labor
and management in Winston-Sa-
lem last year when a redryinS
highway commission spoke TO the
strike. Similar strikes may arise
this year and if they come when
the farmer is trying 10 sell his to-
bacco, they might cripple the in
dustry to such a degree that to-
bacco could not be sold. A reSOlu-
ton was passed by the committee,
to commend the bureau for its fine
work last year and to authorize it
to appoint committee of farm
bureau members TO offer SugGcS-
tions should another similar strike
come up during the 1947 tobacco
season.
Monday afternoon A. H. tSandy)
Graham. chairman of the state
highway commission, poke 10 ne
group and said that farmers are
going to get more and more farm
to market roads and that many OF
them would be completed in l94I.

rector of personnel of the United
! Nations. discussed Agriculture 5
Role in World OF Permanent
/ Peace"
, Rep. John H. Folger of the
states fifth congressional district,
commented on the Congress and
the Farmer" and left little doubt
of the possibilities of the Farm
Bureau as an originator of bills
which are need for his protection.
More than ZOO0 North Carolina
farmers attended the statewide
convention which closed Wednes-
day at noon.
Some of the Columbus county
group returned Tuesday evening
hut the majority stayed the full
three days and returned Wednes-
day afternoon.

Questions and ANSWERS
@. Can you tell me if disability
rates payable by Veterans admin
istration are the same for wartime
and peacetime, both in the case Of
injury and death benefits?-A. L.
Lar, Anadarko, Okla.
A. Veterans administration says
that wartime rates are higher than
peacetime rates for comparable dis
abilities. The same is true of death
benefits. Generally, to be compen-
sable at wartime rates, the death,
disability or aggravation of injury
upon which a claim is based must
have occurred between December 7,
l941, and July IS, 1947, both dates
inclusive However; the person must
have served during the war period
to noon December 81, 1916, and the
disability or death on which the
claim is based must have occurred
before July rs, 1947. December 81,
1916, is the date the President pro-
claimed the end of hostilities and
July 25 is the date by which con-
gress officially terminated end of
the war for certain purposes.
@. My nephew was killed in action
during the war. He was an orphan
and I raised him and cared for him
from the time he was 10 years old.
My question is would be entitled to
pension as a result of his death?
Some of my friends have told me
that l am entitled to it. - Mrs.
A. J. NJ, Maiden, Mo.
A. If you can prove that you stood
in loco PARENTS for period of not
less than one year prior to the time
he entered the military service, it is
likely that you would be entitled to
a parents pension for the death of
your nephew. Consult an attorney or
the nearest office of Veterans ad-
ministration. Your local post of the
American Legion or Veterans of
Foreign Wars might help you pre-
sent your case.
@. Have tried everywhere to To-
cate my brother in law. The last
we heard from him was two years
ago, His address then was rs
P.J.B., 3l303212 - 39i90 QMT-RK
CO., APO 272, Postmaster N. Y. Can
you tell us how to go about locating
him?-Mrs. c. II. o., Castana, Iowa.
A. Address a letter to Com
manding officer" or to chaplain"
of 3949O QMT-RK Co., APO 272,
Postmaster, N. Y, giving your
brother-in-law's name, serial num-
Der and all information you have
concerning him. If you do not re-
ceive reply, write to Office of the
Adjutant General, Department of
the Army, Washington D. c., and
give them all available information.
@. have been drawing a disabil-
ity compensation for about eight
months and am wondering if this
money is taxable under the income
tax law. Please advise me-. r. L.
Clear Lake, S. d.
A. No it is not taxable and it is
unnecessary toy show either pension
or compensation payments on your
income tax report.
Q. Four years ago, after % years
of marriage, my husband, a World
War l veteran. deserted me. Re-
Gently l obtained divorce and was
awarded alimoEy. Upon his death
would be eligible to pension by
reason of his service?-Mrs. NJ. L.,
Muscoda, Wis.
A. You would not be entitled to
pension unless the separation or di-
vorce was due to misconduct of or
was procured by your husband
through no fault of your own. Re-
marriage also would cancel your
right to pension. Suggest you con-
suit an attorney.

feel they don't want skirts which
are 10 inches from the floor. I can
understand this. If you are bit on
the sturdy or squat side, I'd suggest
you try the IL or 14-inch lengths.
The length of ones legs has lot
to do with the length of dress, as
does their shape. If you are short
in stature, but have relatively long
legs, you undoubtedly will be able
to wear the longer skirts exceed
ingly well.
Just in case you think too harshly
of the longer skirt, remember they
are a boon to women whose legs
aren't as shapely as they would like.
For the tall girl, the longer skirts
will make her look more regal, and
even shorten her slightly.

Woman's World
Analyze Face, Figure Problems
Then Dress According to Rules
by &,Aa Haley

WOMEN just wouldn't be wom-
w en-, would they, if they were
content just to put on any kind of
dress without heed to its cut and
color and fit? And, if they were, most
OF us would be a sorry looking lot
indeed, for clothes make the woman
as well as the man.
As have mentioned before, statis-
tics show that very few of US are
without some failing of face and fig
ure, but these deviations generally
are easily overcome with proper
dress, good makeup and some down.
right common sense.
The question of how to dress is
uppermost in most women's minds
right at the moment, now that fash
ions have taken such a radical turn.
Many women are sitting on an mag
mary fence wondering just which
way to jump, so to speak. Some
feel they should just ignore fashion
dictates, and others are grasping
every idea.
Just how far can we go in follow
Ing the new fashions? I would say,
continue to use common sense about
the problem, and do not wear any,
thing in which you don't feel attrac-
tive.
The big question at the present
time is what length of skirt to use.

Dress From Underneath
To Improve Figure Lines

To achieve the proper appearance,
most women and even teen-agcrs
have to resort to a foundation gar
ment of some kind to give them
more proper proportions. When you
buy garment, select one you like
from the standpoint of material and
workmanship. Choose one suitable
for the purpose you have in mind
daytime, sportswear or dress-and
check your judgment with the sales
woman.
One of the most important consid-
erations in a foundation garment
is to have it fit comfortably. Also
make sure the garment will fill the
functional needs required by your
age and figure type.
Teen-agers usually want "refin-
ing garment Abdominal molding is
frequently needed; and there may be
a definite need to control her mus
cular structure. She wants to mini
miZe the suggestion of a rearward
shelf and to eliminate awkward hip
motions in walking.
The young woman usually has
neither of these problems. Her main
concerns may be a Slightly rounded
abdomen and roll of flesh at the
waistline. The bust usually requires
suspensory support as well as a de-
gree of separation best suited to the
individual.
The mature woman will want to
select a garment that is somewhat
heavier than the other two men,
toned above. Light boning usually is
necessary as it helps to flatten hips
and abdomen.
The large-fgured matron needs
still another type of garment. Heav-
Ter boning, both heavier material
and elastic and perhaps even lacing
are essential to proper foundation
for her dress.

impression of length at the waist

impression of length at the waist
line.
Now if you're tall with a sway
back, don't wear a plain back with
front fullness. Fill in the sway with
partial peplum and bloused back.
Even tall girls sometimes have
pouchy tummies. In that case, don't
wear a dress with a single file of
buttons down the front, or have the
sleeves widening at the wrist just
where they hit the waist or tummy
when the hands are down. Contrast
ing belts are out and so is the tight
waistline and skirt, a too close hat
and sloping shoulder line.
Try to direct the eye stewards
with diagonal button or trim treat
ment. Use well-fitted waistlines,
soft blouses and a hemline flare to
balance a large middle. You'll be
able to find many of these dresses
today.

Many plump women have nice
shoulders and legs but their mid
die" is not always as it should be.
They are thick-waisted and have a
large tummy which should never be
dramatized by using bright colors
through the mid-section. The first
trick is to avoid tight bodice and
the second is to choose a side-clos-
ing dress with self belt, prefer
ably in a neutral shade.
If you have wide hips and plump
legs, fashion today is doing every
thing to counterfeit that effect
Don't introduce too many lines or
intricate details into the skirt of the
dress, but form narrow panels with
few pointed ups and downs in
lines. Balance the silhouette, direct
ing attention to the upper part of the
body, as to the neck and shoulders.
Keep trimmings away from the hips
and legs.
Is your figure top heavy? Snug
fitting bustlines, wide, contrasting
sleeves and too-tight skirts will en-
phasize the figure fault. Use skirt
that gives length and fullness. Use a
simple slashed necklne, bloused
bodice and slim sleeves.
