Assessed valuation of all property in Guilford County, $311,044,000 (1950). Tax rate, 98¢ per $100, plus 39¢ supple- mental school tax on all property in the Greater Greensboro School District (1950). Total population, 1950 U. S. Census preliminary, 191,057.
Guilford County is administered by a commission of five elected at large. It is generally regarded as one of the best- managed counties in the state, being fre- quently pointed to as a model by the North Carolina Institute of Government.
Greensboro, county seat, is adminis- tered by a non-partisan council of seven elected at large. The council employs a full-time experienced city manager. For many years the council has been com- posed of successful business and profes- sional men of demonstrated capacity in their private undertakings.
The council has directed municipal affairs upon well-established business principles uninfluenced by partisan po- litical considerations. Good manage- ment is reflected in nationally-recog- nized superiority in public health ad- ministration; reduction of fire losses and low insurance rates; the salability of mu- nicipal bonds; efficient police protection;

Don't Contribute to Counterfeiters KNOW YOUR MONEY!
Don't Be Fooled by Forgers KNOW YOUR ENDORSERS!
The Government never redeems counterfeit money!
1. KNOW YOUR MONEY! Study the bills you receive so as to become familiar with the workmanship on them, especially in the por- traits.
2. COMPARE a suspected bill with a genuine of the same type and denomination. Observe these things:
PORTRAIT
Counterfeit-Dull, smudgy, or unnaturally white, scratchy; oval background is dark, lines irreg- ular and broken. Portrait merges into the background.
Genuine-Stands out distinctly from the oval back- ground. Eyes appear lifelike. Background is a fine screen of regular lines.
COLORED SEAL
Counterfeit-Saw-tooth points around rim are usu- ally uneven, broken off.
Genuine-Saw-tooth points around rim are even and sharp.
SERIAL NUMBERS
Counterfeit-Poorly printed, badly spaced, uneven in appearance.
Genuine-Figures firmly and evenly printed, well spaced.
PAPER
Counterfeit-Generally has no silk threads, but these may be imitated by very small red and blue ink lines.
Genuine-Printed on distinctive paper in which very small red and blue silk threads are scattered. The silk threads are not always noticeable on bills that are badly soiled or worn.
3. RUBBING a bill on a piece of paper will not prove it is genuine or counterfeit; ink can be rubbed from good bills as well as bad ones.
4. CONSULT an experienced money-handler or police officer to make sure, if you are still in doubt, whether a bill is genuine or coun- terfeit.
5. REMEMBER, NOT ALL STRANGERS ARE COUNTERFEIT- ERS, BUT ALL COUNTERFEITERS ARE LIKELY TO BE STRAN- GERS.
This information is reprinted from the U. S. Secret Service 32-page booklet, "KNOW YOUR MONEY", which tells how to detect counterfeit coins and bills and how to guard against losses from forged Government checks. Copies may be pur- chased for 10c each, or $7.50 per 100, from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C.
