AlbemarleYouthConf erence
Near Creswell June 4 And 5
* *—
Group of Outstanding
Speakers Will Be
On Program
Plans are now complete for the
second annual Youth Convention
sponsored by the Albemarle Youth
for Christ Rally. It will be held
in the Philippi Church of Christ,
near Cyeswell June 4-5. Theme for

and the Old Jerusalem Gospel.”
The Albemarle Youth Rally was
organized over a decade ago by
G. C. Blahd. a minister of the
Church of Christ. The annual con
vention was started by Reese Turn
er, two years ago. The rally in
cludes Tyrrell, Perquimans, Cho
wan and Washington counties. It
is not affiliated with Youth for
Christ International; but was or
ganized with the purpose of promot
ing evangelism, reaching unchurch
ed youth, and bringing the church
es of the brotherhood closer to
gether in this area of North Caro
lina. It is undenominational and
non-sectarian.
Purpose of this meeting is to
promote unity of the followers of
Christ on the basis of a return to
the divine church of the New Test
ament in doctrine, practice, policy

that the Youth Rally believes that

Yes'. The particular promise is

A gratuitous promise under seal,

, Originally a seal was an impress-1

'capable of-receiving an impression.
|ln early tim-s all persons of im

.sealing contracts originated in a
'day when many of the noblemen
[were, illiterate.'
Agreements made by knights and
lords were usually validated by
pressing a signet ring against a*
[lump of wax placed at the bottom |
of the document. Tim seal took the
place of the signature. It was a
personal thing. Any written prom
ise sealed arid delivered to another
was enforced in the courts. The
sealing of a document was a sol
emn and deliberate act.
Seals have lost much of their
former dignity and importance.
Today in many states there is a
sufficient sealing when there is af
fixed to the signature a scroll or
scrawl containing the word “seal.”
A scroll or scrawl alone has been
held sufficient in some states. The

Has Its I
Over the years there has come into being what
amounts virtually to a special Cadillac vocabulary.
Certain words and phrases have so long and so
often been used in association with Cadillac that they
almost automatically call the car to mind.
*
When the talk is of motor cars, who can hear the
word “prestige” without thinking of Cadillac?
•It is likewise true of “distinction” ... of “luxury”
~. of “pride of ownership” ... of “satisfaction” ... of
“comfort” ... of “long life and dependability” ... of
“beauty” ... of “impressiveness”... of "value”—and
of dozens of other words used to denote superiority.
In a sense, these are Cadillac words—and they
actually sound strange when employed in any other
connection. Even when used in the promotion of
another automobile, they still suggest the “carof cars”.
* Naturally, words like these can become inseparable <
only from a product which deserves them. In the

Most people, of course, realize that these wonderful
words apply to Cadillac. But too many have not yet
personally found out why.
If you are among these—come in and see us today.
We will give you the keys to a new 1955 Cadillac—

You’ll know, from personal experience, that when
you speak of “prestige” and “distinction” and

you are speaking of the Standard of the World.

Wheat Farmers Will
Vote On June 25th
June 25 has been set as the date
for holding a producer referendum
on wheat for the 1956 crop.
Clyde R. Greene, chairman of the
State ASC Committee explains that
the national wheat marketing quo
ta for 1956 was proclaimed by the
secretary of agriculture and must
either be accepted or rejected by a
vote of the farmers affected. The
national marketing quota for next
year will he the same as was in
effect this year—ss million acres.
Greene notes that this is the mini
mum level specified by law under
present supply conditions.
If two-thirds or more of the pro
ducers voting in the referendum fa
vor marketing quotas, they will he
[in effect for 1956. With quotas n
effect, producers in North Carolina
who stay within the acreage allot
ted for their farm Will he eligible
for the full level of price support.
If two-thirds or more of the pro
ducers voting in the referendum
vote against quotas, they will not
be in effect for next year; how
ever, acreage allotments will still
he in effect on wheat, and the same
acreage will he allotted regardless
of the outcome of the referendum.
Also, if quotas are not approved,
the price support level for wheat
will drop to 50 per cent of parity
