THE DANB URY REPORTER. Established 1872. STOKES FARMERS | TAKE THE PRIZES WINSTON-SALEM PRODUCTION CREDIT ASSOCIATION MAKES FINE REPORT THIS WAS THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLD-' ERS AND DIRECTORS. | The Winston-Salem Production Credit Association, which serves Alleghany, Ashe, Caldwell, David son, Forsyth, Stokes, Surry, Wa tauga, Wilkes, and Yadkin coun ties, had a very successful year in 1936, according to reports by officers of this fanners' co-oper ative credit organization submit-j ted at the annual meeting of stockholders held at Winston- Salem on January 30th. At the annual meeting which was well attended, complete and detailed reports, illustrated by charts, were given to the stock holders, showing how much busi neess was done, how much it cost to run the association, the dis*| tribution of expenses, the profits and other interesting data. Reports were made to the meeting by Paul J. Vestal, presi-j dent of the associate E. Francis, and a talk on the advantage at the V \, cooperative credit system WUB S, Welborn, a mem of the board of directors. A talk stressing the interest of farm women in the association was made by Mrs. Mary Sink Woosley. Paul J. Vestal and W. H. Hardy were re-elected to serve on the board of directors of the as sociation. Other members of the | board whose terms did not ex pire are E. S. Welborn, A. B. Hobson and J. R. Forrest. The reports of the officers showed that the association made 610 loans for $90,305.00 last year. ■ j H L. Gardner, of the Pro duction Credit Corporation of. Columbia, addressed the meeting. He reviewed the remarkable pro gress which has been made by the production credit associations in the states of North Carolina,' South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. The increasing number of farmers availing themselves of the credit service which the associations offer, he said, is the best proof of their appreciation of the service. In 1934, the first year of their operations, the ! associations made loans totaling $9,000,000; in 1935 they made loans totaling 14,000,000 and in 1936 they made loans totaling nearly $16,000,000. Through the production credit association, Mr. Gardner said, farmers are able to get money with which to produce and har- ( vest their crops at costs as low sa those available to any other industry. The association, he •aid, do not lend government money but discount their paper through the Federal Intermediate Credit -Bank which, in turn, se- Volume 66 | What Lewis Said | Washington, Jan. 28. - John L. Lewis, the labor leader, undoubt edly gave considerable offense to' the White House by remarking that his organization gave its j whole-hearted support to !President Roosevelt in the last: 1 | national campaign and conseq uently considers that his forces are entitled to presidential help in its fight against "economic royali&ts." But Ido not believe, as some commentators have suggested, that Lewis spoke before he thought. I talked with him 10 days or before he broadcast this defi"*t: utterance and he said substan ! tially the same thing then. I asked him what the President could do. He was not definite to a "T", but he did make it clear that he thinks the President has influence a-plenty and "then some." i King: P.-TTT Holds Monthly Meeting j The Parent-Teachers' Associa tion of the King school met in the High School auditorium Monday night, February 1, for its regular monthly meeting, with President 6. *V G&rjolT, presiding.
