CREDIT AGENCY
I-cal Man Now Secretary of Production
Credit Assn. for \Viiti?u?u.
Loans Made Above $50 with Marhinery
and Crops as Security.
Mr. 3. C. Eggers, Federal Farm
Loan Agent for Watauga County, has
teen named as local secretary to the
Federal Production Credit Association
which maintains its regional headquarters
at North Wilkesbovo.
Mr. Eggers states that in this new
form of Federal loan, the Credit Association
takes the first mortgage on
livestock, machinery and crops and
ioans amounts from $50 up. The borrower
takes five dollars stock hi the
association for every $100 sought or
fraction thereof, the stock to be redeemable
when all loans are paid.
Interest rates are 514 per centum, as
again3t 4'i and 5 on farm loans.
One difference mentioned between
this system and the Emergency Seed
Loans being made is that in the latter
case loans are made in amounts less
than fifty dollars and collateral is
confined to a lien on the crop being
produced.
Mr. Eggers states that he now has
application forms under the Credit
Association plan, and will he glad to
" give out any information desired by

Boone High School's
Honor Roll Announced
(By GUY H. HILL)
One of the minor objectives this
year in the high school has been to
get parents and pupils less interested
in marks and grades and more interested
in right living, intelligent reacting
tip current situations, and proper
conduct in every phase of life. Thus
far we have been unable to reach
this objective because too many of
our educators are laying too much
stress upon marks. Mothers and fathers,
let's not make the mistake of
thinking that good marks mean good
citizenship; we have seen too many
wrecked and broken lives result from
this belief. Marks are an indication
of good citizenship, but they should
never be an end in themselves.
Those who have been cited for being
all-round citizens in and out of
the high school for the seventh
month of the year are as follows.
Eighth grade: Fred Gragg. Paul Hagamsn,
Sam Lyerly, Mary Kendall
Greene, Ruth Anderson, Miriam Bingham.
Lucy Brown, Louise Cooke, Edith
Walker and Edith Wilson Ninth
grade: Lalia Clay, Chloc Greer, Ma-1
bel Greer, Grover, Hutchinson, Vv'ade j
Sbocmake, Mada oteele, Agnes'
Welch, Izctta Hutchinson, Ruby Robbins.
Tenth grade: Fairy Hollars, Daisy
Austin, Milton Mast, Geneva Osborne,
Ada Grace Redmond, Martha
Swift Eleventh grade: Jean Bush,
June Bush, Max Shoemake, Floye
Cctnell, Anna Relic CofSey, Gladys
Hagaman, Winifred Hampton, Odessa
Lookablll, 'Annie Norris, Margaret
Ray, Mary Louise "fthyne,"'Jhba Russell
and Renu Farthing.
Let it he said that these young people
are on this list because they met
every requirement as set up by the
school for adequate citizenship in our
little "republic." Others, not mentioned
here could be mentioned for
excellence along certain lines, but not
for ?Jl-rour.dne3s. Possibly every child
in school could be mentioned for some
good traits, but space will allow for
only those mentioned above.
Pres. Roosevelt Sends
Easter Greetings to U.S. j
Miami, Via. ? President Roosevelt
Saturday night sent Easter greetings
to the nation from the yacht
Kourmahal at anchor in the tropic
waters of the Bahamas.
A message to temporary White
Kuosc offices in the Miami Biltinore
Hotel from the presidential yacht,
read as follows:
"Had a fipe day! Good fishing
and expect to remain here over tomorrow.
Happy Easter to you all
from all of us."
The Hourmahal is off of Great Abaco
Island near Rocky Point.
Earlier, a navy seaplane went tc
the presidential yacht carrying mail
and other material for Mr. Roosevelt.
On the return trip James Roosevelt,
eldest son of the chief executive,
returned to the mainland as a passenger.
He was landed at Palm Beach.
I Most of Saturday was devoted to
angling for "oor.eflah in the shallows
near the Island. Boneflshing Is one of
Mr. Roosevelt's favorite sports be-,
cause of the fighting nature of the I
prey. It was expected that next week
the Nourmalial would be pointed toward
the extremity of the Bahamas tn I
onwr xo permit tne frestoenttai yacht I
to go after the larger of the finny spe-1
cimens, including sharks and barracuda.
Reports from the yacht said thatj
Mr. Roosevelt was enjoying his visit
immensely and that he was acquiring
a deep tan from long exposure to the
"blazing tropical sun.
During the day, some of the Astor
guests went from the Nourmahal tc
the V. ?>. S. Ellis where they were
entertained at luncheon by the destroyer's
officers, headed by Captain
Robert White. The Ellis is the yacht's
escort, acting also as communication
ship.
Miss Emma Isaacs returned Tuesday
evening from Wilmington where
she had spent several days visiting
with Mrs. C. L. Holland, who is remembered
here as the former Miss
Hazel McGuire.

The Federal Government is considering
two main routes, one of which
would follow the crest of the Blue

the Linvtlle Gorge country, Mount c

while the second route, known as the a
