 The so called Civic Interest Ticket has circularized the voters. on the eve of the city election, that when members of the former Civic h. terest Ticket took office in 1850 a debt of S142,000 was assumed, this amount being an over-expenditure of the previous council budget
 The foregoing statement is ex- tremely misleading, as some of the members of the so-called Civic h. terest Ticket" who served on the 1949-1950 council well know. The fact is that when the date of the city election was changed by the Alaska Legislature from April to October, the members of the council elected in April 1949 served until October 1850, a period of IS months. The members of that council en- tered upon the council term with a deficit because taxes did not become due until September As the pre- vious April to April councils had spent all the tax revenues, and did not turn over to the incoming councils any tax revenue balance, the incoming council was compelled to borrow money to operate the city's business until tax revenues came in in September. This practice had been followed for 20 years or more.
 The council elected in April l949 determined to rectify this practice, and enacted Ordinance No. 329 which. reestablished the calendar year as the tax year; and provided that incoming councils in october would at once establish the city budget for the councils October to October term; fix the millage rate (the assessment and equalization being set by the outgoing counciD and provided that taxes would be- come due and payable at once, and delinquent after November 30 un- less at least one-half of the tax had been paid.
 In consequence, a period Of l8 months elapsed with only l2 months tax revenue coming in" Hence the borrowing to operate the city's busl- ness for Is months Ordinance 329 was designed to avoid such borrow

ing Under Ordinance 329 tax rev. enue will start coming in at once after the october elected council takes office. The practice of bor- rowing against tax revenue, which had been followed for 20 years or more. will no longer be necessary. The city's business has now been uut on a sounder financial basis. The borrowing was not because of any lover expenditure of the pre- vious council budget" as circularized. The so-called Civic Interest Tic ket," if it knew these facts, should have disclosed them for information of the voters.

play once, we had to read through
the collected works of John Shelf
field, Duke of Buckingham, a 18th
century English poetaster and
small bore wit. We've been COM
PEELED to read textbooks on genet
les, soil erosion and internal med
icine, as well as monumentally
verbose 18th century history of
witchcraft, of which we can re-
member nothing but the Latin tit
lie, "Saducismus Triumphatus."
Last Saturday night we turned
the last leaf in one of those ire
mendous tones that have been
getting into print with regularity
in recent years, a thousand-page
anthology of one mans favorite
pieces by other authors. We'd
carefully marked our place every
time we finished a page every 9TH
err month or so for a period we
thought of as "quite awhile" be-
fore the whole task was complet-
ed. With the sigh that has come
to mean, "Well! that one didn't
lick me eitherv' we Tipped the
book open to the title page. There
we saw in our own handwriting
the inscription, "To ................,
Christmas, 1871. Dave" Wonder
if we dare return the book. The
owner must have given it up, or
forgotten it, long ago. Wonder if
we started the thing first and new
er gave it to the one who should
be it's owner.

ENGELHARD Al PROJECTS
IN BABY BEEF SHOW

Two very successful Al pro-
jects reached their completion at
the 14th Annual Rocky Mount Fat
Stock Show and Sale. Walter Gray
Creole and Richard Williams,
members of the Engelhard Junior
All Club, each entered a baby
beef steer in the show.
The steers were bred on the
farm of A. B. Harris in Fairfield
and purchased by the club boys
early last fall. During the winter
months the animals have been fed
a ration of home grown grain con-
sisting of corn and oats with cot
ton seed meal used as the protein
supplement. The steers averaged
gaining IN pounds a day for the
approximate 200 days which they
were fed.
Walter Gray Credle's steer,
weighing $50 pounds, placed sew
enth in the middle weight group
of steers and was graded Choice
bringing a price of $40.25 per
cwt. The blue ribbon won by the
steer Melted Walter Gray $7.15 in
premium money from the show
and an added $500 premium from
Kingam and Company for placing
in the Choice group. Deducting all
expenses, including hauling to
Rocky Mount, this club boy made
net profit of $45.5O on his pro-
ject.
Richard Williams steer, weigh
ing 1926 pounds, placed number
one in the Good Group of the
Medium Class selling for $40.75
per cwt, taking the red ribbon and
$3.50 in premium money. Deduct
ing all costs, Richard made net
profit of $3.50 on his project.
Projects Value
The educational value of these
projects is very high to the boys.
Through these projects the boys
learn how to feed out cattle on
home grown grain through the
winter months which are the
slack period on Hyde County
farms. They learn also to select
good type animal for feeding.
Since the animals were very high
ly fitted for show, the principles
of fitting and showmanship were
also indelibly impressed on their
minds. Through such projects as

LIBRARY NOTES
By GEORGIA. =. HARDWOOD

&
Tonight is the Senior play,
yellow Jacket" The Librarians
wish the cast every success. They
have to follow some outstanding
performances, Moliere's "The I'M
aginary Invalid" French drama;
A dramatization of Jane Austen's
pride and Prejudice" English,
and an American play, "The Thir-
teenth Chair"
This year marks a real depar-
ture, going back to old China, to
the traditional Chinese theatre
which has lasted over 5000 years.
Unless one has already been to a
Cinese theatre or seen. 'Yellow
Jacket" previously, this will be
something new to most of US. Ac-
cept the difference and everyone
should have merry evening.
Of course all school performan-
ces are hard on the actors. Pro-
fessional plays open "out of
town." and play several weeks be-
fore the big opening by which
players and play are judged. Ev-
erything is going smoothly before
the critics get chance at it. Am
ateurs, however, have no such
chance to perfect themselves. At
ter one performance, it is all over.
So good luck, boys and girls, we
know what you are up against and
we will judge you leniently.
cat long last" to quote Ed
ward VIII on an historic oc-
casion in 1886, the Duke of Wind
sor's book, "a Kings Story" has
been published. 1t is a good book,
modest book, but it pulls no
punches. Without bitterness, often
with humor, he tells his story and
clears up many things we have
wanted to know. He is quite a
man, the Duke. One of the inter-
esting things about the book is
the behind-the scenes view of the
Royal Family in Great Britain.
Surprisingly, they are people too.
Well have the book ready for
you shortly.
Other new books are: "The Val
liant Pilgrim" the story of John
Bunyan, by Vera Britain; Chow

In Taxes
ALL KINDS
BY DAVE WEST

Merchants are chewing pencils
to nubs and practicing tense
kind of patience while filing out
those nightmarish report forms
the OPS has demanded of them
by April 80. None of these gentle
men can be denied at least SYM
pathetic sigh when you see 'em
hunched over their desks making
calculations, scratching out the
figures, then muttering short, saw
age-sounding prayers before
starting all over again for the
umteenth time.
Ralph Davis had more than the
usual sympathy from us last Fri
day, when we interrupted his
work on the OPS report by asking
him to help us pick out some
socks. Ralph was just back at
work after being laid up for some
days with one of those nasty
spring ailments that we minimize
by calling cold, because we can't
find the right term for the fevers
and aches and general misery that
attends it. We got the impression
from Ralph that he'd have been
glad to draw out his recovery if
only someone else would draw up
his report :. OPS is an abbrevi-
alton for Office of Price Stabili-
zation-many report-heckled re-
tailers may be excused if they
think of it as sour Particular Suf-
fering."
No one need be confused about
how to get the straight of this Mac
Arthur business. Just ask the man
or woman who sits near you when
you have your morning coffee: he,
or she, can explain it to the per-
feet satisfaction of-well, of any
one who happens to explain it the
same way.
Or you can get it all straight
from any Of the radio common
tators or newspaper columnists or
editorialists. We've consulted
those founts of wisdom, Drew
Pearson, Lippman, Stokes, Childs
and many of the state editors;
have heard the views of the seers
of the air waves, Raymond Gram
Swing, Richard Hardness, Leon
Pearson; we have had the benefit
of expositions of the Macarthur
incident from John Krider, Wally
McCown, Clyde Biggs and others
and, it is absolutely clear, that
the whole thing boils down to just
twelve contradictory sets of plain
facts.
We are a victim of a special
eccentricity not uncommon to
many readers: once we begin
reading a book, no matter how
dull or incomprehensible it may
be for US, we HAVE to finish the
burned thing. Sometimes this
takes years. But we always finish |
at last. Often, when we do finish a
long stint on a volume, we have
no idea what the first part of it
