1 XNtslow County Possibly
t- Eligible For Extended
School Service Program
- ' 0 In a recent preliminary survey
i- the fact is established that most
likely Onslow County will be eligi
ble ^for extended school service pro
gram. This program is being pro
vided by the federal government
through the State Department of
Education. It's purpose is the care
of children of working mothers in
defense areas. The program in
cludes extended school days for the
school age child with a program ot
recreational activities, music, hob
bies and handicraft being provided
from the closing hour of school un
til the mothers are free from work
It also provides recreational pro
grams for the summer. A summer
camp program is included. The
school age is extended from six
down to two. Day care nurseries
with a kindergarten program added
will be provided for the children
from the age of two to six
In the recent survey made in this
county localities which have al
ready established eligibility are .Ma
rine Base School. Swansboro and
Georgetown. The survey has not
been completed in Holly Ridge but
indications are that a center will
also be established there. Thus far
.Jacksonville has not shown enough
working mothers to establish a cen
ter within the city. Working moth
ers in .Jacksonville who are inter
ested in this service or mothers who
would go to work if this service
were provided are asked to secure
survey blanks immediately from
A. B. Johnson, principal. Jackson
ville high school, fill them in and
return to him.

establishment of these Services are
secured upon application by Countx
Boards of Education for Lanham
funds. Wilmington having secured
these funds in the late fall now ha
12 nursery schools and recreational
centers established.
Funds for extended school serv
ices are supplied for personnel,
equipment, maintenance, and all
necessary costs except price of
food for lunch which is paid by the
parents. Where as many as fiv<»
centers are established a general
supervisor will be employed. In
the day nursery one teacher is al
lowed for each ten children. Recre
ational workers are employed on
the average of one for every forty
children The summer program,
including possibly summer camps
for older children, would necessar
ily employ more workers.

Efforts To Compensate
Donors of Inland
Waterway Introduced
§A bill enabling Onslowans <j
receive compensation for land giv
en the State of North Carolina for
construction of the Inland Water
way and later condemned to be a
part of New River Marine Base was
introduced in the General Assem
bly last week.
It has the approval of Governor
Broughton and Attorney General
Harry McMullan.
The text of the bill follows:
Whereas, attorneys, employed by
the Transportation Advisory Com
mission to secure right of way for
the Intra Coastal Waterway in On
slow County, were authorized by
said Commission to contact land
owners along the proposed line of
construction and to secure from
such owners, if possible, deeds for
the said right of way: and to accept
deeds conveying only an eastment
in cases where the owners were
willing to convey the right of way
without compensation for the same:
and pursuant to such instruction
practically all of the landowners
between White Oak River and New
River agreed to donate an aestment
o fright of way 1.00 feet in width
across their lands for the construc
tion of such waterway and for the
deposit of dredged material, and
several of such owners did actually
execute and deliver easement deeds
covering the same; and
Whereas, upon submission of the
deeds and abstracts of title to the
War Department, the same were no*
approved, and the War Department
requested that the said right of way
be acquired by condemnation,
whereupon said commission direr*
ed its attorneys to proceed to con
demn the area under the stnrn• • •
which provided that all condemn. .
tion thereunder should be a tak:n :
of land in fee. and
Whereas, said right of way wa>
condemned and taken in the name
of the State of North Carolina, and
tlu- State of North Carolina con
veyed to the I'nited States Govern
ment only an eastment for the pur
pose of aiding the construction ot
said waterway, and thereafter, the
affected landowners, who had not
sought compensation for the right
of way. under the belief they had
only been deprived of an easement
in their lands, continued to use the
same, and in some cases to erect
valuable improvements on the same
not inconsistent v\itii it- use for
.-■aid waterway, and
Whereas, the United States has
now included a large portion of said
right of way and the improvements
thereon in the area taken for the
Marine Base, and a question ha
been raised as to who is entitled to
compensation for said lands and the
improvements thereon other than
said waterway Now therefore.
The General Assembly of Nortn
Carolina do enact
Section 1 That the Governor. ;
his discretion, with the consent and
approval of the Council of Stat»v
is hereby authorized and empower
ed to waive, release, assign or
transfer to the individual claimant*,
whose title has been established
except as to title in the State .til

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS ...
"You can't imagine. jjrte?. how much com
tort Louise aiid ! %'j\ ou' ot reading that
report by the Ottice o! War Information on
drinking habits in and around Army camps
It you hadn't loaned us your copy we'd still
be worrying about our Jim all because
ot those silly rumor® gotn around
"I'm mighty glad to hear that. John
As the report says, no Army in American
hi-torv has been so orderly so well-behaved
so well-trained. Why. even on pay-night.
«here's very little drinkir1" done. I was
particularly interested in that part which
said the Army, with an eye to its own
problem, usually prefers to have its camps
in wet communities rather than dry com
munities because wet communities can be
regulated dry communities with thr :
bootleggers can't. It's just more proof thai
^inhibition does not prohibit."

Censor Cramps Writing
Style ot Marine
Formerly Stationed Here
0 Many of the messages which ar
rive from the boys overseas art
much slashed by the censor. Her--*;
one that was received by a loca
minister last week from one of the
Marines, formerly stationed a<
Camp Lejeune It reveals little
The letter follows:
"Can't write a thing, the censor's tc
blame—
I'll just say that I'm well and sign
my name
Can't mention the date
And can't even mention the meals
that I ate.
Can't say where we're going, don't
know where we'll land.
Couldn't inform you if met by a
band
Can't mention weather, can't say
if there's rain;
All military secrets must military
remain.
Can't have a flashlight to guide me
at night.
Can't smoke a cigarette except out
of sight.
Can't keep a diary, for such is a sin.
Can't keep the envelope your letter
came in.
Can't say for sure just what I can
write.
But I'll call this a letter and close
with Good-night'."
That's all.

The revenue bill provides in
part:
Discount For Merchants.
The most important change ac
tually made in the new law is a
provision allowing merchants a
three per cent commission upon
the collection of the three per cent
sales tax, which this year yields
$6,000,000. This is a complete in
novation and represents not only
a departure from the practice for
the 10 years the sales tax has been
levied in North Carolina but Is a
practice not recognized in collec
tion of the gasoline tax. the tax up
on utilities, or any of the other tax
es collected by others in behalf of
the S^ate.
Reductions In Licenses.
Aside from this the most import
ant change in the 1943 act is a ser
ies of reductions in license taxes.
These reductions are in two class
es. A group reduction for occupa
tions found to have been affected
by wartime conditions was made.
Under that, reductions of 75 per
cent were given to automobile
dealers, filling station operators,
and wholesale oil dealers. The fal
lowing received 50 per cenf reduc
tions- bicycle dealers, dealers in
cash registers, adding machines,
typewriters, refrigerating machin
es. washing machines, etc.: tourist
homes and tourist camps; security
dealers, soda fountains and soft
drink stands; and dealers in pianos,
organs, radios, etc. A 30 per cent
reduction was given to manufac
turers of ice cream
rnratirs and Bottlers.
Several reductions were given
also to those who could not qualify
under the wartime tests. Theatres,
which for 10 years have paid a
three per cent gross-receipts tax in
lieu of the sales tax. were relieved
of that tax entirely and were given
a considerably smaller tax on a
seating-capacity basis. Bottlers,
who scorned the temporary relief
based on wartime conditions, re
fused the 30 per cent reduction of
fered theni on that basis and. in
stead, obtained permanent reduc
tions ranging from 30 to 52 per
cent and with the largest bottlers
getting the largest reductions.
Beauty parlors also received a 50
per cent reduction.
Insurance Companies.
Insurance companies were allow
ed to qualify as domestic insurance
companies and pay a premium tax
of one-fourth of one per cent, in
stead of 2.5 per cent, if they have
as much as 15 per cent of their as
sets in North Carolina securities or
real estate. The previous require
ment was 20 per cent. Insurance
companies also were permitted to
exclude from income tax any war
time reserves which may be »et up
under direction of the Insurance
Commission.
Income Tax Information
ExpenM Of Farmers,
f A farmer who operates a farm
for profit is entitled to deduct from
grots Income as necessary expenses
all amounts expended (other than
those constituting capital expendi
tures) in the carrying on of the busi
ness of farming. The coat of feed
ing and raising livestock may be
treated as an expnese deduction
insofar as such costs represent'ac
tual outlay, but not including the
value of farm produce grown upon
the farm or the labor of the taxpay
er. Also deductible is the cost of
seed, minor repairs to farm build
ings (other than the dwelling of
the farmer), and small tools used
up in the course of a short period.
The cost of fuel and oil used for
farm work, as well as repairs and
maintenance of farm machinery, is
deductible as a business expense;
but the cost of farm machinery,
equipment, and farm buildings rep
resent a capital investment and is
not an allowable deduction. The
cost, however, may be recovered by
depreciation allowances. In the
case of a farmer,^the farm dwelling
is not deprecable, except such part
of it as may be used d:rectly in
farming operations. The cost ot
gasoline, repairs and upkeep of an
automobile if U9ed wholly in con
nection with the taxpayer's farm op
erations, as well as depreciation
thereon, may be deducted, but if an
automobile is used partly for bus
iness and partly for pleasure of the
convenience of the taxpayer or his
family, the cost of operation may be
apportioned according to the extent
of the use for purposes of business
and for pleasure or convenience,
and the portion attributable to busi
ness will be deductible as a neces
sary business expense.
The cost of hired laborers and
hired machines on a farm and the
part of the board which is purchas
ed for hired laborers are deducti
ble The value of products fur
nished by the farm and used in U>«
board of hired laborers is not a
deductible expense. Rations pur
chased and furnished to laborers or
sharecroppers are deductible as a
part of the labor expense. Amounts
paid to persons engaged in house
hold work to the extent that the
services are used in boarding a.
otherwise caring for farm laborer^
are deductible, but amounts paid
for services of such employees en
gaged in caring for the farmer's
own household are not a deductible
expense. -
Amounts expended in Ike devel
opment of farms, orchards and
ranches prior to the tin* when the
productive state is reached may be
regarded as investments of capital.
The cost of planting trees, as well
as the amounts expended by a
farmer in the restoration of. soil
fertility preparatory to actual pro
duction of crops and the cost of
liming soil to increase productive
ness over a period of years are cap
ital expenditures; but the cost of
commercial fertilizers, the benefit
of which is of short duration and
which have to be used every year or
so. even after a farm reaches the
productive state, is deductible as an
expense.
Amount? expended in purchasing
work, breeding or dairy animals
are regarded as investments of cap
ital and may be depreciated unless
luch animals are included in inven
tory.
