USE THOSE LOCKS
(Carteret Co. News imes)


1t appears that some changes
will have to be made in this To-
Gale where in the past no one has
locked his doors. With two-footed
crawlers taking to their hands and
knees to sneak into houses, others
boldly casing a joint" by staring
in windows and with things dis
appearing from automobiles, folks
would do we'll to think twice be-
fore leaving their home or car I'M
locked.
Locking doors is not an easy
habit to get into when one has
been accustomed to leaving the
house for "few minutes" or to
dashing into a store and leaving
the car with bundles in it. But a
bit of caution may prevent loss
in valuable property or save you
a nervous break-down-you might
walk into your bedroom and find
a strange character ransacking
your drawers or snoozing in your
bed.
Windows in the house should be
locked too. 1t has been said that if
anyone wants to get into a place
badly enough, he'll find way to
do it. But we're of the opinion that
if he's going to break in, make it
as difficult for him as possible!

BUSINESS FIRMS RECEIVE
1854 CENSUS REPORT FORMS

Report forms of the 1854 Cen
sus of Business are being mailed
to North Carolina retail, whole
sale and service businesses, thea
tiers and other amusement places,
January by the Bureau of the Cen
hotels and tourist courts, early in
sus, Department of Commerce.
The report forms are adapted to
the various kinds of business and
smaller firms need answer only
minimum of basic inquiries.
Approximately three million
business firms throughout the
United States will receive the 1854
census forms. Information collect
ed in the census is confidential and
will be used by the Bureau of the
Census in compiling new statistics
on business activities for the Ma
ton, States and smaller areas
since the results of the 1913 Cen
sus of Business were published.
Selected figures for North
Carolina from the 1948 Census of
business follows:
Retail Trade, 1948
Number of Stores, 4Q,880; Sales
for the year, $2,248,660,000; Pay
roll for the year, $212,626,000.
Wholesale Trade, 1948
Mum Der of establishments,
1862; Sales for the year, $3,129,
686.0O0; Payroll for the year,
$107, 49, 900.

one. While State gasoline taxes
average 4.S3c per gallon, in
West average is 5.5c per gallon,
in south Csc per gallon, on top
Of national gasoline tax.
And even though states need
more revenue, it is difficult to
further tax real estate.
That is because Federally
owned lands cannot be locally
taxed, and In West Federal gov
eminent holds on with stubborn
determination to $3.50 Of all
land, $3.50 Of all rural lands.
Thus, over half the land which
under private. ownership would
help support IDEAL costs is held
by Federal government. Neither
can most states further tax in
dustry without running them.
Many basic Western industries
such as wool, metals and lum-
Der already fight for existence
against cheap foreign competi-
ton permitted by reciprocal
trade treaties, other tariff cut
ting lodges. For example, Phil
Iipine mahogany plywood, pre-
sumably a semi-luXury item, is
being shipped in by Japan and
sold in Western markets for less
than same product made from
native Western SOft-wo0ds.
Possibly, as situation worsens,
Western and Southern states can
get Federal aid and thus recap
ture pittance of money that
should have gone to states in
first place.
But sovereign states are re-
luctant to go hat in hand to
Washington. 1t smacks too much
of pawn shop financing. In 1852
West went solidly for a change
from twenty year trend and solid
South broke over the same
reason. Yet no appreciable
change has been noted. And
that's why Congress finds West
erners standing up with South
erners for a long, loud rendition
of the rebel yell.

by Mothers reading aloud to US.
Sometimes she read the latest in

read from our Sunday School pa
pers or from Ben Hur or David

listened with interest and watch
ed with regret the hands of the
clock approach our bedtime hour

Bedtime brought the final
chores of the day. Otis visited the
barn to give Prince and the COW

the breakfast oatmeal to cook in a
double boiler. / removed the hot
soapstones from the stove and
folded flannel cloths about them.
It was Ben's job to carry the
stones upstairs and slip them be-
tween the bed covers. Father
would trust only himself to fix the
Home Clarion for the night. The
ashes were raked down and a
smooth bed of red Goals prepared
on which was placed huge sticks
of apple tree or ash, wood that
could be expected to last out the
night by slow burning.
Father was always the last to
go upstairs. He would try the
