CAROLINA FRIDAY, (MTOBER 29, 1848 (Eight Pages) NUMBER WILLIAMS ADDRESSES FARMERS ? Farm Bureau Holds Inter esting Meeting at Court House Tuesday Night ? Adopt Resolutions * v Farm leaders adopted resolu tions favoring reorganization of Farm Bureau In Franklin County at a meeting in the Franklin County Court Hoiue, Tuesday night. Resolutions were adopt ed after one hundred farmers heard Mr. Jo0 R. Williams, As sistant Secretary N. C. Farm Bu reau Federation, speak on Farm Bureau program. Mr. Williams advised that 20,000 members have been reported from Eastern North Carolina counties to date, assuring Farm Bureau officers of largest support ever, with only one county having filed its com plete report. Mr.' Williams advised farmers that they could by maintaining marketing quotas have their al lottments annually Increased and maintain strong demand and price for their tobacco, since demand! for cigarettes, snuff, and chewing tobacco is being wanted in larg-, er quantities. He advised that the movement of tobacco products to our armed forces was the factor that would stimulate increased consumption, now, and continue increasing consumption after the war is over, and at a time when labor will be available to plant larger acreage on established to bacco farms. Mr. Williams advised that our ??domestic tobacco companies filed a brief with the War Food Ad ministration demanding that quo tas on flue cured tobacco be sus pended for 1944, contending that it was impossible for the old to bacco growers to produce a suf ficient amount of tobacco to sup ply the market next year. He further advised that Georgia far mers contend that they can grow 309,000 additional acres of to bacco next year without affecting the food and feed program. Es tablished tobacco growers with allottments lost 10 per cent of their allotment in 1939 when to - bacco prices were approximately 16c a pound and the crop was not controled. Anyone can plainly see what would happen now with tobacco selling at 40c a pound and' cotton selling at 20c a pound, if tobacco quotas were suspended for one year. Domestic tobacco companies are fighting marketing quotas in open, according to Mr. Williams, for the first time since quotas have been ill effect and it is nec essary that farmers be organized in order to protect the tobacco en terprise in North Carolina. Fac tors lowering tobacco prices will affect the standard of living of every established tobacco grower. Franklin County is dependent on tobacco for 5-7 of its farm in come. Farmers are justly due a higher farm income and) if as sured reasonable prices, estab lished farmers can and will pro duct the tobacco needed. Mr. Williams advised Domestic companies had not |>aid as much as celling prices would permit to farmers for tobacco they have bought and suggested' that their statements to the effect that they wanted to pay S5c and 60c for tobacco was propaganda to furth er complicate the issues. He ad vised that the Commodity Credit Corporation had paid an average of 3 1-2 cents a pound more for tobacco this year than had our domestic companies and that it was the price support of the Com modity Credit Corporation that Is holding up the tobacco average on our markets. o ? ?

Williams, representing the American Farm Bureau Fed-1 eration, spoke to the Louisburg Lions Club Tuesday night at the regi%lar meeting of the club. Lion P. H. Massey Introduced the speaker of the evening. Mr. Williams spoke on the need for a strong prganlzation to represent the farmer in the pres ent flue cured' tobacco crlils. "The Farm Bureau was organiz ed to help the farmer get a just and equitable share of the wealth of this country in return for his goods produced," went on the speaker, "and it has always stood between the farmen and the mo nopolist buying powers. The Farm Bureau has sponsored all constructive legislation that Con gress has passed since 1932 to help the farmer# If North Caro lina farmers will organize and present their problems through ? strong national organization they can keep quotas where they are today and' be assured that they will get a fair and just price for their tobacco when they put it on the market." Lion O. M. Beam, Club Presi dent, called on Lion Dr. S. P. Burt for a short report of the two day meeting in Raleigh of the North Carolina Public Health Association of which Dr. Burt is a member.

Each Lion present was called on to give his first name which was done rather reluctant ly In a few cases where it ap peared that a member was trying to conceal What had been the source of much embarrassment during boyhood days. The Tall Twister, Lion Edgar Fuller, was instructed to fine any Lion ten cents if he failed to call a fellow Lion by hig given name during a club meeting. ' ACCURACY Lelth, Scotland, Oct. 25. ?

' GASOLINE AND TIRES Chairman Johnson of the Franklin County War Price and Ration Board stated the' past week that many people are de layed in getting their gasoline and tires because so many people come into th? Board and take up so mpch of the time of the Clerks wanting them to stop their work and look and see if the Board passed' on ttaeir allottments, or wanting their tires changed from third grade to first grade. The truth is the Board is giving all they can as fast as they can and such interference causes delays. Most ail this delay can be>*bliml nated by the people remaining at home and waiting for the mail. Then there is a class who think the Board fchould open the office after closing ' hours for them, they don't have time to take the serv}ce extended to others. It begins to look as if the Franklin County Boand will have to fol low instructions of the National Board and slop filling out appli cations for 1b customers and re quire them U> make them for themselves a^d mail them in. Get yonr application for the New A book, at any filling station, illl it out and mail it to your lo cal Board at Louisburg. You are required to fill this and mail it, not to take It to the Board to be tilled' or for delivery. Many Doctors are disregarding the new requirements of OPA, which requires them to write in the face of their certificates that the patient is physically unable to ride on train or but*. Many of them are writing in "no bus available." 'Hits statement is of no value. Some patients are re porting "the AOctor called me back and gi^k me this, 1 didn't ask for it." /{This is also out of line. Many rifertlflcates are havr lng to be returned tot the Doctors for proper writing. Chairman Johnson reports a visit to the State OPA office in Raleigh, Friday at which time he sought- some truck tires and tubes for very essential applicants and also some farm implement tires and tubes, but, failed to get eith er. but was tM& that tk*. tire and tube situatlo||>4was very serious and we ueecMnt expect our.^No vember allotttaent to be half what the October allottment was. At present the Franklin Coun ty Board is extending Its custo mers more service than any coun ty around here ? more than is de sired by the State and National Boards ? and It Is hoped1 the peo ple will cooperate so It can be continued. o ?

AMERICANS AND BRITISH ADVANCE First Phase of Battle of Italy Ends as Germans Withdraw Into New and Stronger Mountain Line; Germans Reinforcing De fenses; Yugoslavs Cap ture Important Steel City Allied Headquarters, Algiers, Oct. 26. ? The American Fifth and British Eighth armies, striking forward up to six miles, hare captured 10 more towns, the Al lied command announced today, winding up the first phase of the Battle for Italy as the Germans withdrew into a new mountain defense line stronger than any they have held before. The new line, running from Mondragone on the Tyrrhenian coast northeast of Venafro and then to Vasto on the Adriatic, apparently is where the Germans hare decided to make their first "permanent" stand. The position has natural adrantages of moun tains extending right across the peninsula and running sereral ridges deep. \ The Allied armies, having con quered all of Southern Italy la a 54-day campaign, now are con- ? fronted by a much more difficult ' task. In harlng crossed the Vol turno and Trigno rirers, they might be said to hare hurdled the moat of Hitler's Portress Europe, and they now stand before its first great wall. more ucrmans The enemy's retirement to tho shortest and best defensive line anywhere between Naples and Rome and reports that Field Mar shal Erwin Rommel was bringing more troops into Northern Italy were accepted as certain signs that the Germans are determined to hold Rome at least through the winter. It even was regarded as possible that the Nazis intend to1 launch a couuterof tensive. Of the 10 towns whose capture was announced today, four Tell to the Fifth Army, Including the important road Junction of Fran colise, 2 Vt mites west of Spara nise and six miles north of the Volturno River. The taking of Sparanise was announced yester day. Farther inland. American troops plunged northwestward along the upper Volturno, over running San Angelo D'Alife, four miles northwest of Alife; Ravis canina, a mile farther along, and Rocchetta, four ijiiles northeast of Sparanise. London, Oct. 26. ? Soviet troops today captured Karnavatka sta tion, one mile from the center of Krivoi Rog, the great iron ore and steel metropolis of the Uk raine. Karnavatka is the railway sta tion for Krivoi Rog and actually is within the limits of the city, one mile from the main power plant and two miles from the big steel mill which includes Europe's largest Bessemer plant German defenses appeared to be disorganized completely as Soviet columns spearheaded by tanks slashed through the Dnie per Bend, dTiving enemy troops to the south and southwest, front reports said, adding that Nazi de molition experts had started to dynamite and flood Krivoi Rog's mines. Driving southwest of Dnepro petrovsk, the Moscow-l|roadcast operational communique said, So viet troops advanced between four and nine miles, taking Solenoye, IS miles south of Dnleproptevrosk and more than 30 other places. Other Advances South of the big bulge of the river, other Soviet forces fanned out north, west and southwest of captured Melitopol, advancing four to 12% miles and capturing 28 towns and villages, including Veseloye, 22 miles northwest ot Melitopol and' 65 miles southwest of Zaporozhe, and the rail station of Terpenye, eight miles north ot Melitopol. At the northern limit of the Krivoi Rog Karnavatka is the terminus of a spur line extending southwest to ' Krivoi Rog's great steel mill. The capture of Karnvtka put the Russians in possession of the main iron ore mines which are located on the rail line extending northward to Pyattkhatka. Military observers belle-red street fighting might be under way hi Krivoi Rog. Masse* of Soviet infantry and tanka were storming the German defenses. Radio Berlin said, and several wedges of Russian troops, front ed by tanks, were attacking the city Itself. Bern. Switzerland, Oct. 17.
