Program Needed
Lack of Proper Infor
mation Can Hurt
Farriiers
The 1962 Wheat Stabilization
Program made possible by the
passage of the Agricultural Act
of 1961 makes possible many
benefits not only for farmers but
fdk farmers, consumers and busi
nessmen. However, according to
A." C. Griffin, chairman of the
Chowan County Agricultural
Stabilization Committee, if farm
ers do not understand the pro
gfhm or if they make a decision
regarding tfie program whioh Is
based on tfiisinformation or in
complete information they could
hrirt themselves. This, he said,
is especially true in the case of
small wheat farmers.
because of the chance that
misinformation might cause one
of the small wheat farmers—
tlfb'se who have been growing 15
of less acres of wheat—to make
d, wrong decision, Griffin urged
tHem to come into the county
ASCS office to get the right in
formation.
s
For instance, Griffin said,
mkny wheat farmers are asking ,
wno is subject to penalties.
Some general conditions must
b! met by farmers who have
bSen growing 15 acres or le’ ■■
di wheat. If marketing quota!
penalties are to be avoided, such
producers can plant for harvest
no more wheat than the smaller
of 13*2 acres or the hiehest
Acreage grown in 1959, 1960 or
1961.
The ASCS workers in the
county office are always willing
to discuss individual problems
with wheat producers.
It can be considered a form ot
income insurance. Maximum di
version payments offer protec
tion against loss of crop due to |
drought, insects, hail, flood or I
other natural disaster.
Advance payments are avail
able. Growers who divert acre
age from production of wheat
under the 1962 program may re
ceive advance payment.
Diversion saves money. If a
farmer uses borrowed money for
crop operations, he will save
both principal and interest bv
borrowing less than would he °
been required if he had also j
planted and harvested wheat on
his entire allotment.
Diversion improves the land. (
Approved conservation prae- j
tices on diverted acres improve |
the farm’s productive capacitv ■
for the future when it may he,
needed. Land value is safe- j
guarded for the individual fa r-i
er and his family and also for
consumers of t'h r 'jture.
Diversion is pood citizenshin. i
Voluntary retirement of wheat I
acres is one way that farmers
' can help reduce the cost of gov
ernment. It makes it possible to
reduce the cost of agricultural
programs by bringing national
wheat production more nearlv
into line with consumer de
mands.

Army Keeps Hassell
Brothers On The Go
Back in 1948 young Paul G.
Hassell bid his parents good
bye and entered the Army.
Three years before his older
brother, George E. Hassell, had
done the same thing. They are
the sons of Mr. and Mrs. George
Hassell of Chowan County.
Thus, the Army separated the
Hassell brothers, who were born
iri Chowan County. Later the
Army was to bring the brothers I
together again.
From the time of entering
service Paul served in Korea, |
the Caribbean and Puerto Rico. |
George served in Germany, j
Fiance, England, Japan and
stateside.
Actually their paths managed
to cross in the last few years,
but only for short periods of
time. In 1954 they spent two
dSys togethers and three days in '
1&55.
_ Their largest separation came
between 1955 and 1959. Then
recently the Arrhy stationed
First Lieutenant Paul G. Has
sell as Chief, .Depot Mainten-1
ailce Division at the Richmond j
tjhartermaster Depot. Captain
George E. Hassell was assigned
t *6 the Directorate for Supply
Control at the Colurilbus Gdn
eial Depot.
With these new assignments
tlte Hassell brothers are now
ting each ether more regular,
t this may prove to be only
tlfcparary.
Both plan to stay in the
Aimy— and eve+ybc3y knows
hbw it moves its officers arOuhd.

National Debut Fdf Debbie Sue
As Match of Ditties Pusfet Child
foebble Sue Brown, A five
year-old winsome young
lady of Clarkston, Wash.,
who is annoyed because she
must wait a few years be
fore marrying the boy next
door, was selected this week
gg the J 962 New March of
Dimes Poster Child.
Debbie Sue won out over
hundreds of small children, af
flicted with birth defects, ar
thritis or polib—health fields
embraced by the program of
The National Foundation-
March of Dimes. The Poster
Child lives a life both exciting
and glamorous. If physical con
dition permits, there usually
are visits to the White House,
to JSenators, Governors and
other prominent persOns as
well as radio and television ap
pearances during the New
March, of Dimes in January.
She will star in a January
TV special, “The Scene Steal
ers,” and her picture will ap
pear nationwide on thousands
of March of Dimes posters,
coin collectors, and mail ap
peal envelopes.
Debbie Sue, high-spirited
and active today, although doc
tors once believed she wouldn’t
survive the open spine with
which she was born, lives in a
valley of the Clearwater Moun
tains near the banks of the
Snake River.
She is brown-eyed and
blonde, the daughter of Jack
C. Brown, a state highway sur
veyor, and Barbara Brown,
who have a younger daughter,
Carla, one year old.
Debbie Sue’s birth defect of
an open spine was not immedi
ately apparent. But a few days
after birth her grandmother,
Mrs. Fred Bening, a registered
nurse of nearby Orofino, Idaho,
recognized that a serious dis
order was present; and the
parents then drove 400 miles
at headlong pace to Seattle’s
Children’s Orthopedic Hospi
tal. (The mother collapsed on
arrival and was herself hos
pitalized.)
At the hospital the parents
were told that Debbie Sue’s
spinal defect was of such se
verity that the infant probably
could not live beyond three
months. If she were alive at

Debbie Sue Brown, 5, Clarkston, Wash., is off to a swinging start
as 1962 New March of Dimes Poster Child.
six months, however, she was
to be brought back.
“We drove home sadly," Mrs.
Brown relates, “trying to ad
just ourselves to the tragedy
of losing our beautiful baby.
But our spunky Debbie Sue
had no idea of leaving us at
three months. At eight months,
we returned to Seattle where
her spine was mended. When
she came out of surgery, she
was so mischievous that she
succeeded in wrenching free
from the blood-transfusion tube
and the needle used for intra
venous feeding. Doctors told us
she must lie face down on the
night train riding home. In
stead, she insisted on sitting up,
jabbering without end and
keeping all the passengers
awake.”

At least 250,000 infants are
born yearly in the United
States with birth defects —some
even more severe than Debbie
Sue’s. The National Founda

answers to this largest unmet
childhood medical problem in
the nation today.
When the 1962 New March
