ffho editorial last weefc incorporat
ing the letter of J-. Robert Howard in
regard, to postponement of school
openings until the latter’ part’of Sep
tember waa timely.'
jjn behalf of the , children of the
country this scribe appeals to the pow
ers to leave the doors closed <in-hot
September and open in rainy April
Not even August is a more undesir
able month in this section than Sep
tember for being herded in doors in a
-crowded toom. The. gnats and flies
which gather in our unscreened school
houses make September school work
well nigh'intolerable, and contribute
to’the spread of. sore eyes which seems
'recurrent this time of yeas; Country
housewives find September “a very
bijsy month: . The canning must be com
pleted. Late * fruit and grapevput
away. The farm help is enlarged and
many extra ones are fed at, her table,
minir must rise an<| breakfast earlier
The half-day schedule means that
or-Oise the mother has scant time for
preparing .schqol lunches along wijjj
hen other extra: work- '' '* ‘
her other extra work.
' One wan, thin, much harassed moth
er remarked ta me last year that she
rather her children stay all day any
time. For,’ said she, it take3 just as
much washing and ironing for them,
■just as. muqh,trouble. a? the half-day
They mess up the kitchen again with
theiy half cold lunch—for if they are
to 'go to the field they need ai hearty
dinner—not a school lunch. Then it is
clean the dishes again—and hunt up
their work clothes—by the time they
finally get to the field they are all
cross and Jit is very late. When they
get in there is the home "work to do—
an additional amount of it too be
cause of the half-day schedule. The
children realize what an extreme dis
advantage this is to them as compar
ed to the afternoon and evening of
their village school mates. It is the
best way I know to make children
hate school. The best way to waste
school f undsTand the best way to draw
sharp lines of antagonism between
town and country children. It is the
best way I know to cause teachers to
rehch false conclusions at the begin
ning of the: term as to which are the
bright and whjqh the dull students.
Furthermore, if our children are to
attend school and pick cotton and peas
and pull fodder and work in tobacco
all in the same day they need the cool
early morning in the field.
It is the best way1 we know for the
schools to get a: limping start on one
foot and to wind up a bungling, un
happy, unsuccessful year of inequal
ity in educational opportunities.
Let ug have! a fall techool day with
equal opportunities and equal privi
leges for all and let us realize that
with our climate we have no business
rounding children up into school build
ings in September until we have sec
ured a nine months school term.
. pn the trail of the interesting and
unusual nomenclature of our folks
these names were culled from the Tai
Heel press; A. N. Shaw, Charles
.O’Hara Laughlnghouse, Will X. Coley,
Marion Gallup, H. A. Finch, Dan Nip

thought the depression was.)
For the sake of euphony how is
this one, Emery Ussery ? \

bit of a name Bonnie,Babb,
! For sheer staccato brevity gave us
this one—Baxter Lax—-no, make it
Guy-Doss. ; ■ -- >
After all this we come to the conclu
sion that all boys do not have to be
" dubbed Jimmy or Johnnie as they were
in, my childhood nor Bobbie and- Billy
as they are now. And joy pf-all joy
ous news, all girls do not absolutely
have to be called Betty or Peggy. Iri

PLANTERS CRGED^l
H TO COOPERATE IN
1 , TOBACCO PLAN
Lee Planters Urged To Attend
1 Meeting at Court House On
| Next Saturday. 3rd. '
HOPE SET UP ADJUSTMENT
V A mass meeting of the tobacco
growers of Lee county will be
held in the court house Saturday
afternoon, September 2nd., at %
o’clock, states County Demon
stration Agent E. O. McMahan.
This meeting is being called in
connection with a state-wide
movement looking toward acre
age and production adjustment
to meet the market demands
netst year. * .*
Similar meetings will be held in1
each tobacco growing county of the
State. The purpose of these meetings
will be. to-discuss methods of controll
ing production next year and to make
recommendations to Secretary of Ag
riculture Wallace - and to President
At the meeting Saturday a tempo
rary county organization will be syt
up ai^d official delegates elected to it
tend a state-wide Conference in Ra-i
; leigh mi •September 6th. It is antici
pated that' the delegates at this State
Conference ynll agree on appropriate
resolutions, and these, together with;
those from the different counties will
be forwarded to the tobacco adminis
tration at Washington,
' This meeting Saturday. Is. of utmbst
interested in a fair price this year and
next should be present?
The planters are aroused over the
low prices ait the markets that have
opened and seem ready to . cooperate
in any plan that will result in higher
prices. Dean I. 6. Schaub, of State
College, has asked | that only tobacco
growers be Selected as delegates to
represent the various counties at the
State meeting.' It is desired, he stat
ed, that the State meeting shall be
a serious buaihess gathering and not
the usual “hot air" mass meeting
which in the past has resulted in n ti
thing being accomplished.
! It is also desired that the meetings
in. the 67 tobacco counties shall re
sult in the formation of County tobacco
associations, which wifi .later amalga
mate into a state federation if neces
sary and can go to work immediately
in putting intq operation acreage re
duction' plahs under contract with
AAA. Mr. Schaub says th AAA will
' certainly attempt; ; ,te secure parity
prices for tobacco this fall looking to
a special program for the weed next
season. The domestic allotment plan
will probably .be. used, based on the
grades of tobacco produced in a giver
area.
Under such a plan, growers will be
given allotments on which they will
be pjsid an increase over the market
price in return for contracts for a re
duction in acreage to meet market de
mands. lie allotment for the whole
flue-cured arba will be that amount
erf the weed' consumed in this country
and will be divided into states, coun
it*®® and individual fawns. As in the
'case of wheat, administration of the
allotment plan will be under the supei
vision of .county control associations.
Nothing definite has been said a1
Waahington that this is the pian to be
followed but indications are that it is
The tobacco program is more compli
cated than the wheat due to the var
ious grades of the weed grown in the
•different sections, Mr. Schaub said.

that shad can come from the sal’
water to the headwaters of the Cape I
Fear, Deep and Haw rivers in tie
spring. Before the dams were built on'
the lower reaches of the Cape Fear
shad could come up to Buckhom. |
There they were stopped by the dam'
of the Carolina Power and Light Com-,
pany plant. Should these runways be
put in, including the Buckhom dam,1
it would enable the fish to make their
way, to the upper reaches of the Deep
and Haw rivers.

Two New Members Put
On City School Board
The board of trustees of the City
Schools held a meeting last Thursday
night and among other business mat
ters of importance they elected Mrs.
Charles M. Reeves and Mr. D. B. Tea
gue to fill the vacancies on the board
caused by the resignation of J. E.
Brinn and the death of J. W. Stout,
who was chairman of the board. There
has been talk for several years of put
ting one or more women on the board,
but this was the first time a woman
has bean elected to membership on the
board. It is the general opinion among
the people of the town that the board
could not have made better selections
to fill these vacancies. We understand
the election of both was unanimous.
They will serve till the next munici
pal election, which w-ill be held in
May, 1935.
Dr. Lynn Mclver was made chair
man of the board and A. H. Mclver
vice chairman, succeeding Dr. Mclver.
The position of secretary, held for a
number of years by Mr. Brinn, will
be filled by Superintendent George
Wheeler, who, under the new school
law is ex-officio secretary of the
board. It will be seen by the list of
teachers that will be found in another
feection of The Express that numbers
of changes were made. I

NEW SCHEME TO’^ I
ATTRACT WEED
TO OTHER FLOORS
New Scheme of Other Markets
Leaks Out—Plan To Draw
Tobacco From Lee.
BIG FFED IS TO BE GIVEN
From the very time that Sanford
first established a tobacco market the
warehouse people in towns and cities
in other sections of the State have put
forth strong efforts every fall season
to draw all the tobacco that they could
possibly get from this section. They
•are anxious to get the tobacco from
this section because of its high grade.
There is probably no tobacco raised
in the State that is superior in quality
and grade to the beautiful bright io
bacco raised in the Sandhills of Lee,
Moore and Hamqtt counties. They em
'ploy every scheme known to the trade
to draw the tobacco raised in this sec
tion. The Express is told that they
employ planters here and there in the
territory to work for them, by induc
ing the planters to take their tobacco
to the other markets with the promise
that they will get a better price for it.
They bait a few planters to get other
planters to truck their tobacco to* the
distant markets.
The Express is informed that a new
scheme is to be employed this year,1
.something never heard of before in i
'the tobacco gtpne. Qnq of the leading
farmers in the Lemoq Spring-: section,
tells^ys that plans .ate being, perfect
ed by. the warehousemen pfTte.clsvilJesr
one of the leading tobacco markets of
the, State, .and one that has drawn a
■ r||| ‘ *
of about 40 horsemen and people
cars who will stop at intervals along
the way to meet the planters ai d tell
them of the advantages that Reids
ville has to offer as a tobacco
market. According to report they have
arranged with some of the farmers
wives in this county to prepare a din
ner for about 100 men, including to
bacconists and planters. It is expected
that this will be served over about
the Lemon Springs or Swann Station
section late in the afternoon. They are
to meet the cost of the dinner and
collect it out of the planters later. It
is suggested that this cavalcade be
led by a Hoover cart and a hand organ
and monkey. We are unable to learn
the date of this demonstration, but it
is thought that ft will with the sound-1
ing of trumpets and blowing of horns
invade Lee county some time next
week or the week following. The to
bacco people of Sanford will be per
mitted to stand on the side lines 'and
see the procession go by. f
The point we wish to make is that
the people of a town who are public
spirited to the extent that -they can
build a large warehouse and y^iise the
stock and organize a bank at a time
like this and despite the fact that we
have had three or four bank failures
in as many years, will not fold their
hands and sit supinely and permit out
siders to get away with a thing like
this. I
Rotarians Hear Frew
The feature of the Rotary meeting
Tuesday was an address by Rev. Allen
Frew. His subject was “The Pearl of
Great Price.” The Rotarians were urg
ed to set a high standard of friendli
ness, honesty and right, living. It was
an earnest and well delivered address
and •the Rotarians were glad to hear
his message and have him with them.
Other visitors were Charles Hub
bard and J. M. Norworth, of South

The Rotary Club hopes at an early
data to meet with the ladies Auxiliary
of Pocket church. These meeting with
the country neighbors are always en

One of the most enthusiastic meet

adopted to have one more meeting on
Monday night and at that time put the
project across the topj; The-’Various

that on Monday night a report was

tion was made of these applicants,
and at the meeting Monday night, af
ter the committee meeting1 Mr. M. W.
Harris, of Forfest City, North Caro
lina, was by a unanimous vote elected
as cashier' of the bank. The Mr. Har
ris is remembered here, for a number
of years'ago he was connected with
The Bank of Goldston, at Goldston, N.
C., as cashier. He left Goldston in
1B23, and has since been in the bank
ing business in Forest City, and is
now employed by a bank at this
point.
Further action by the directors was
the appointment of a committee com
posed of Directors Makepeace and
Bobbitt to make purchase of the ne
cessary banking fixtures, including
vault, counters, machines and other
necessary equipment. While the board
has -ipt officially set a tentative date
for the opening; of the bank, it is un
derstood that they hope to have mat
ters arranged so that it may begin
business September 15th., 1933. How
ever, nothing further can be done at
this time, pending approval of the ap
plication’ in Washington. They hope
to receive further instructions during
the week.
it naa previously been decided to
locate the bank in'the quarters for
merly occupied by the Page Trust
Company in the Commercial Building
at the comer of Moore and Steele
Streets; and, if this building can be
procured in time for the construction
of vault and installation of fixtures
prior to opening date, it will possibly
be the future home of the new bank.
Tlhis location is remembered as the
place of business of The Bank of San
ford, which flourished here for years '
under the direction of such men as :
John W. Scott, I>. E. Mclver, W. A.
Monroe and S. P. Hatch. All of these
men have phased on, but since this
drive for this new bank in SanforiT,
we feel that we have leaders who are
coming along to take their place and
that there is really a “new day a
dawning” for Sanford in all lines of
activity.
We will publish, more about the bank
next week, and about the activities' of
the men who are really responsible
and who have really achieved this
