ICKES PREDICTED IT

But here is the final ironic pay off. During the recent war, Jesse Jones, then czar of the REC, ad- yanced s63, 100000 without interest to the Aluminium Company of Can ada (affiliated with the Aluminium Company of America) to build the Shipshaw aluminium plant on the Saguenay River.
 Jones also extended another SEA- 240,000 at percent interest, gave the Canadian plant an order for all it's aluminium, and provided that if the order was cancelled before 1945, it would not be necessary for Canada to pay back s60,500 900.
 Harold Ickes, then Secretary of the Interior, vigorously protested. He argued that the U.S.A. could not control Canadian aluminium, and that equipping a Canadian power project with vital turbines,

END OF PENNY POSTCARD

There will be some nostalgia signs at the Post Office Department when the latest casualty of imitation, the penny postcard, bows out on Jan- uary l.
 For about 80 years, during which helicopters have replaced horses and which have seen a 500-fold irl- crease in the cost of government, Uncle Sam has been toting the pop ular, stamped postcard to all parts of the country-even to our troops overseas-for one penny. ,
 Government subsidies helped. of course, but it is still tribute to American rugged individualism that the penny postal could survive so long. The postal was first issued in 1872 during the administration of President U. s. Grant. Later, in 1898, the same one-cent postage was authorized, the more elaborate picture card on which you place your own stamp.
 one reason Congress boosted the postcard to two cents after January was because big business has been exploiting the penny postal for ad- vertising purposes. Actually only about 10 percent of the 4,000, 100000 cards sold yearly in post offices are now used for personal cores pondence.
 To foil the advertisers Congress further provided 10 percent surcharge for postcards purchased in bulk lots of over 49.
 But the Post Office Department doesn't think the new price will seriously affect sales. Even for two cents, the government postcard is still far and away the best mail bargain anywhere in the world. Note-Mail a postcard today to the Pearson Poll of Republican candidates for President. Mail it to Box 1852, Washington 13. D. O., and state the COP candidate of your preference for 1852.

IKE WOULDN'T BE CONVERTED

An off-the-record crack by George Allen, onetime White House jester. is proving good campaign ammuni- tion for Eisenhower boosters who want to prove Ike is Republican.

 As proof that this is a cold blooded squeeze-play, Canada has doubled it's aluminium shipments to Australia, Brazil, Uruguay and even Argentina at the same time it strangled the aluminium flow to this country. In fact, the United States is the only major market that re- ceived less Canadian metal this year than last. As result, the United States is the only North Atlantic Pact country that has been forced to clamp civilian con- trols on aluminium.

''Cry Room mt Church

The new Lutheran church at
East Rosemary lane and Pickard
lane, which will open on the
first Sunday in January, pre-
sents an innovation: a cry room.
John Lasley, one of the
Weekly's most alert tipsters,
told me about it one day last
week and | got the pastor, the
Rev. E. C. Cooper, to show it
to me.
1t is the first room to your
right as you enter through the
main door on Pickard lane. About
twelve feet square, with sound
proof walls and a loud-speaker
that is connected with a micro
phone in the auditorium, it is
tor mothers with babies. Here
they attend services with the
assurance that their babies
crying, if any, will not make a
disturbance.
A window, made sound-proof
by double panes, covers most of
the walls between the room and the
auditorium. So, the mothers, sitting
in pew facing the window, will not
only hear all that is said, through
the loud-speaker, but will also have
perfect view of the pastor and their
fellow worshippers.
There are bassinets for the babies.

Towns Beer-and.Wine Revenue
More than Double Last Years;
Take from Sources Other than
Property Growing in Importance

Chapel Hill received from the
State this week a check for
$4,000 for the towns share of
the taxes on beer and wine sold
within the town limits in the
year ended September 80.
When the aldermen made up
the budget last summer they did
not suppose there would be any
appreciable change in this item
and they estimated it in the
budget at last years figure,
$4,000. So the town has $4,8O9
more revenue than they ex-
pected it to have.
Besides the beer and wine
money turned over to it by the
State, the town gets around $500
a year in beer-and-wine licenses.
Revenue from sources other
than real and personal proper
ty has become much more i'm
portant than it used to be.
Earlier this fall the town re-
ceived $18,456 as it's share of
the $5,OO0,00O appropriated by
the legislature for the building
and maintenance of streets in
side cities and towns. The town
will use this money for resur-
facing several streets, and next
years money from the same
source will be available for the
streets in the Westwood suburb
that will probably be annexed to
the town before the end Of the
year.
The town has received from
the State $3.50 as a refund of
80 per cent of the amount col
lected here as taxes on intang-
ibles (cash in banks, notes re-
ceivable, stocks, and bonds) in
the year ended last June 80. And
it gets from the State, as a
franchise tax, "a of l per cent of
the gross sales made in the
town by utility and transporta-
tion corporations.
Carrboro received $1,566 and
Hillsboro received $1,159 from
the State for beer-and-wine taxes
in the year ended September 30.
The amount received by the
Orange county government was
$19,195.
