SIX
Berry Festival I'
Next Thursday
Big Dance To Feature Occasion
Which Has Been
Regular Part Of County
Strawberry Season For
Years
Chadbourn, Apr. 30.-?'The Klondyke
Post of the American Legion
will sponsor a dance here in |
Myers Warehouse Thursday J
night. May 9, in celebration of the j
Ninth Anniversary of The Straw- j
berry Festival Dance. This event t
known throughout the Eastern J
part of North and South Carolina;
was inaugurated in 1926 and has
grown bigger every year since j
that time. It is believed by the
dance committee and the man-1 (
ager in charge that, through ex-1,
tensive advertising and confining ,
the dance to one night only, be-1
tween two and three thousand,
persons will attend. In view of
this, one of the very best or- '
chestras available has been sec- '
ured to furnish the music, namely:
Johnny Long and his Duke j'
Collegians, who, on June 4, will (
go under the direction of Hal *
Kemp and the management of'
Alex Golden. In an effort to
make the audience mora comiori- i
able with such a large crowd j
expected every available foot of (
floor space in the warehouse will j j
be utilized. The orchestra will be j
placed at the rear of the 150 foot,
building on an elevated orchestral
platform and by the use of |
a modern amplifying system! j
equipped with speakers at vari- j,
ous points throughout the build- '
ing, it will be possible to see and
hear the orchestra from any;
point. !.
Jimmy Carter, of Lumberton,
who managed the Strawberry (
Festival dances of 1932 and 1934, j'
is again in charge and states j
that with the possible exception j
of the June German in Rocky j
Mount this year's Festival will be '
the biggest and best occasion of'1
its kind throughout two states
for the entire year. I
The warehouse will be elabo-1
rately decorated in red, white ]
and blue, Legion colore.
As an added attraction for the
spectators, "Doc" Covington, of
Red Springs, has been requested
to sing and Freddie Joseph, of |
Laurinburg, has been requested
to give an exhibition of tap dancing.
Professor Hall and his Laurinburg
Collegians have been en- j
gaged to furnish the music for
the colored night of the Strawberry
Festival, Friday, May 10th.

THE STATE PORT P
ordered him to get off the place
he had farmed the past two
past years. The client did not
owe one cent of rent. He had
made a good crop, had grown
sufficient food and feedstuff, had
laid aside a little money. He
even was willing to pay more
rent. But he was ordered off the
farm so that a relative of the
landlord might have the eightacre
tobacco allotment on the
I place. The client had no where
i to go?it was too late to secure
a good farm. He had no legal
I recourse. He was discouraged.
Up against these tremendous
I odds, he came to the relief offices
as a last resort. He had
food and feedstuff and plenty of
I help, but no mule and nowhere
to go.
Through the efforts of the re}
lief office and under the rural
j rehabilitation pragram a sixty'
acre farm with a tobacco allotment
and an eight-room house
! was secured for the client. He
I ceived a mule. The new landj
lord happy to get such an industrious
man on his place went
over and moved the client in.
Today, all concerned are happy.
The client is more comfortably
and more conveniently situated.
With his vexing problem solved,
the client is happy and contented
and is vigorously going about
the business of making his crop
and Becoming an independent
farmer. He is happy now, thanks
to the F. E. R. A's. program of
Rural Rehabilitation.

Gets New Chance
By Relief Agency
ERA Giving Many People
Who Never Had An
Equal Chance With Average
Man, The Opportunity
To Better Their Station
Raleigh, April 30.?Many persons
placed in unfortunate circumstances
through no fault of
their own, have been able, by
means of the Rural Rehabilitation
Program of the North Carolina
Emergency Relief Administration,
to better their condition
and get a fresh start, Mrs.
Thomas O'Berry, State Relief Administrator,
said today. The
name is not used in this story
for obvious reasons.
A farmer stumbled into the relief
office. "It ain't right. Ain't
got nowhere to go?nowhere to
make no bread. I'm out-doors.
Somebody's got to help me now."
Thus, began his plaintive story.
He blinked hard to keep back the
big, husky tear which rolled down
bis weatherbeaten face. This was
the beginning of a moving story
of distress, of discouragement,
ind of fear.
His tremulous voice, his demeanor
apologized for his unfortunate
situation for which he was
not responsible and against which
be was impotent. Obviously this
man was not accustomed to relief.

Dillon asserted the union's re-11
quest for a poll was based on the |
1 ( condition that Department of La- : s
| bor concilators conduct the vot-; ?
! j ing, rather than the automobile J t
i j labor board. i c

i [ Coyle, president, and general man-! f
ager of Chevrolet, in Detroit, j
: They asked a resumption of work ! s
' or a secret ballot on the com- i c
| pany's proposal. i c
The company's proposal is for a: (
j blanket five per cent wage in-1
i; crease, enforcement of seniority (
i rules established by the auto la-!
' bor board, conferences with em-1
i ploye representatives on company- j
j employe questions, and no dis- j f
j crimination against any worker j ^
i because of service on the execu-1 j
j tive shop committee.
The union, which had claimed: r
| a large majority of employes in I p
jits organization, asked a signed |e
; I contract, "improved" working con- j g
! ditions, seniority rights and a j _
! I wage increase of five cents an j
j hour. ja
Union leaders have contended f
I that the independent group, whose ! a
| mass meeting last night was at- _
' I tended by 1,600, included a number
of workers not employed c
' when the strike and shutdown p
occurred on April 23.
Dillon declared the proposed j =
poll should include only the 2,300'
[ j workers on the company rolls '
when the plant was closed.

SUPPLY OF ROUGHAGE
1 DECREASES DAIRY COSTS j
An adequate supply of good
I roughage is recommended for de[
creasing the cost of feeding dairy
j cows and increasing their milk j
(and cream production.
Cows fed liberally on roughage
' such as lespedeza, alfalfa, clover
; or soybean silage will give a good
[[milk flow with only a (limited
amount of grain in their ration,
says John Arey, extension dairy
man at State College.
To insure a sufficient supply
s of roughage for the summer and
| winter, dairymen should plan to
J produce enough hay and silage to
f give each animal all it needs,
, Arey adds.
tJ About IV2 ten of legume hay
and three tons of silage should 1
1 be provided for each average;
size cow during the winter. Or
- if no silage is available, the
amount of legume hay should be
t; increased to 2V& tons, Arey says,
i | A combination of silage and
, | hay is preferable to hay alone,
r I he continues, since silage fur-1
nishes a succulent ration which
- ] is needed in winter. Also, a large
1 quantity of silage can be pro1
duced on a small acreage. One
