Poreiyn Advertising Representative. Wednesday, July 15, 1934 WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA The 62nd annual convention of the North Carolina Press Association met in Banners Elk on Wednesday. July 11th. And right here we want to say that some one in authority should settle the question of the name of the town where the editors met practifcally every newspaper we have seen, including our good and efficient secretary. Miss Cobb, says it is Banner Elk; while the sign boards along the way. and even alter you get inside the city limits, are about fifty-fifty as to whether It 15 Banner Elk. or Banners Elk. The post office guide says it is Banners Elk. The convention was entertained at Pinnacle inn. a part of the plan under supervision of Mr. Edgar H. Tufts. Here is a Junior college for boys and girls, an orphanage, and a most complete hospital which serves this great western country. Before the days of good roads Banners Elk was almost isolated, in fact it took, (javs "days to get there from any point East of Greensboro, but with .the-coming of good roads now one can make it in a days Journey from almost any point in the State. A more beauti ful place could not have been found for the meeting, and the entertain ment was all that could have been asked for; rates reasonable, table supplied with the best home grown edibles, and service equal to the best. Owing to the location a large attendance was not expected, but to the surprise of every one, it was the best attended meeting since the one at Cleveland Springs many years ago. The editors were there from Manteo to Murphy, and it was. in our opin ion, the best meeting we ever had; the addresses were of the highest order, and no shop talk was In dulged in. If the editors had any troubles they kept them strictly to themselves. All of the addresses were good, but three were outstand ing. namely. Senator Robert R. Reynolds, who discussed the actions of the late congress, ably uphold ing the President; Judge J. J. Par ker. who discussed the proposed State Constitution, and Dr. John Dickinson. Assistant Secretary U. S. Department cf Commerce. You might attend many conventions but you would hardly hear more inter esting addresses than the three above referred to. We wish every voter In the State conwrhSKe heard Judge Parker, or could have the pleasure of reading his address; If such was possible we honestjy believe the people of the State would vote over whelmingly in favor of the proposed changes in the constitution Mr Dickinson's address was a reply to some of the criticisms made by Judge Davis against the NRA. It was;an' able and Instructive address atrt those who were standing behind our President felt surely they had made no jn is takes In taking Ifieir stand. About (he only thing which marr ed the pleasure of the meeting was the absence of Roy Parker, president of the association; he has been quite 111 for several months and is now resting near Ashevllle; his condition Is very much Improved and It is hoped he will be In condition to re turn home early in the (all; Mr Carl Council, of Durham, presided and was happy in hia new task. On Friday morning Mr. D. Hiden Ram sey of Ashevllle was elected presi dent; Mr. Britt of Clinton was elected vice-president, and of course Miss Beatrice Cobb of Mor gantcn was re-elected for the four teenth time secretary and treasurer. It was a great meeting and con trary to the usual gathering of edi tors, not a single prospective politi cal candidate?save Carl Ooerch? was on hand. We account for this from the fact that it was generally admitted the attendance would be small. After taking this trip we wonder why so many of our folks will in sist on going to California, or other far away places when we have with in a couple of hundred miles, an easy five hours drive, such scenery as defies the "pen" for description. We went by way of Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Wilkesboro, Boone, Valle Crucis and Banners Elk. Re turning we branched off at Boone and took in Jefferson, Sparta, Roar ing Gap and then into Winston Salem. One of the most restful and delightful little towns we 'visited was Sparta; here you will find a new and modern court house, with many handsome new homes, and it looked like every home in the town ihad just been painted; in fact we just wanted to spend a week here ! resting and enjoying life in its full-' est. However, it was at Sparta j where we missed one of our much .anticipated pleasures, we missed seeing that grand old man Horn R.j A. Dough ton; he was attending: court in Jefferson. We really enjoyed almost every hour of the trip; we say almost every hour. We forgot that we j were not so young as we once werej and on Thursday afternoon joined a party to drive out and see a re-' centjy discovered water falls; Mr." Tufts told us it was about fourteen miles and that we could drive to ?within about a mile of the falls,j and that the walking was very good.1 Well, about eight miles of the way was paved and all right, but the next i four miles were over a mountain farm road?not a state or county road, just an ordinary farm road? | and if you have ever tried a couple of miles of such road we need not! say more; if you have never ex-! r , ;perienced this pleasure, then per mit us to say you do not know how | tight you can hold on to the straps of your au?o. But we managed to i , stay inside of our car, and the real trouble came after we left the car at the river and started to walk ?that MILE. It may have been only, a mountain mile, but honestly we. .thought it was almost as Tar as from here to Durham, candidly we know we would not have been near as completely all in, but having started we were ashamed -to turn back, and continued with the crowd. But believe us. the next time we go to see these falls we are going to be able to ride in some, way to the top. In planning your summer trip be sure to Include a day or so at Pin nacle Inn, Banners Elk, and wejjc-: lieve you will thank us for the ad vice. When Senator Robert R. Rey nolds stepped out in front of the editors at the lgte session he told them he was going to do something which they thought was impossible, and that was. he was going to bs serious,, and he was. Not a Joke did he tell, nor was there any stage actions, but his address was serious from beginning to end. He lauded the actions of the President and pre dicted that everything was going to work out light. It was a really good speech; and was enjoyed by every one present. i o??? We have traveled from Manteo to Murphey and had a view of almost every mountain peak In the State, but we do not believe there la a more beautiful view than that around Roaring Oap; it beggars description, and while It Is less than 123 miles from here we doubt If a dozen citi zens of the town have seen It. Many of our people spend a day Kt Natural Bridge and other places of nop*, but have never visited Roaring Gap it la an easy one-day trip and Is well worthwhile. On top of the mountain you And Oreystone Inn, which is run by the same management as .that at Plnehurst, and It Is a btau tlful place. We stopped here on hur return home last week?lor five, minutes. The way. the sisters are going .after that National committeewo man job you would think It carried a million per. They probably figure that it was largely responsible for the good job now held by Mrs. Pal-, Imer Jerman. IN MEMORY On Thursday night, July 12. 1934, at 11:30 o'clock God visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Grin-, stead- and look from them their dar jllng baby and our darling little 'nelce and grand-daughter. As the year was slowly passing away the chariot of the Heavenly King took our little nelce and their loving baby a nd "? granddaughter away from them who loved her so dearly here on earth. With lamps trimmed and burning staffin had she stepped in and was borne away to God's home where all of God's children have ample room and to begin her new year In glory with Je sus and loved ones. It was so hard for her ' father, mother, little sisters, uncles, aunts. I grandmother and grandfathers tO| give such a sweet little bud here on i earth to bloom In heaven where; we hope we all will live to meet; her In heaven, for we know she is there sweetly resting In the arms of Jsus. All was done for Nelldean that} cculd be done but nothing could not keep her away from the Lord Jesus Christ for she? was prepared to go. j When the light went out lt was dark but did not remain dark long.H for angels had borne the light heav enward and placed her among the j stars to shine forever In his pres ence and to reflect earthward to guide her loved ones. Surely the gates of that beautilul; citv were wide open and gave her1 welcome when she entered In. We are sure that our loss Is her eternal j gain, and that she is much happier tonight than we are. It Is no more home now for there is no more sun ny smiles to greet and welcome us. as in the days when she was there. She suffered greatly, so on that July even Jesus said. "Weary child,; come home." While our hearts have been sad with sense of loss we know she is in the Joys of Her Lord and what a heritage she has left us. the rich memory of sweet smiling"-face and happy sunny disposition which will be our's through higher living and thoughtfulness in every task. Nelldean's stay on earth was short,' only fifteen months, but we had to give her up. She had the- measles several weeks ago and was recover ing nicely until' about two weeks ago * she was taken sick and she kept I getting worse and worse. What caus ed her death was stomach trouble and other complications. ~ . We can't feel that she is dead, but sleeping In the arms of the Almighty God. Jesus said "Suffer little chil- , dren and come unto me for I will ' give you rest." She Is dead In our sight, to never see her In a body of flesh any more, but living with him in whom all is1 well. ? Nelldean was Just getting large enough to begin to stand alone and I to wave her sweet little hand. Oh! ! how we all will miss her. never to see her sweet smiles on this earth again but hope to see her in heaven ] where there will be no more suffer-1 ing and no more pains. How we will miss the touch of her hands and not hearing her name called. It Is call ed up yonder for God cannot miss! her for she Is with God to com plete the holy band. There is a rest for the people of j God. Jesus said. "I will not leave vou comfortless. I will come to you." That is a sweet thought to the peo ple of God. I feel like this great King of Kings and Lord of Lords will never leave his humble poor. I believe he Is always near his ? sheep and he hears all their bitter crying and he comes and speaks peace unto their souls and then they are lifted up on the eagle wings of h's love. Our darling leaves to mourn her departure a mother, Viola Allison Orinstead. a father, Albert Grin stead. and three slaters, Jennie Lee. Lottie Love and Evelyn Beam, all of Roxboro, R. 3, a grandmother, two grandparents, and her devoted aunts and uncles. We feel sad, our hearts are heavy. We miss the dear little face so' much. We grieve together and to I get her'tis God's will for he Is tool [good to be unjust and too wise to make mistakes, it Is hard to realize how one so young should be taken away from her father and mother so quickly. I Funeral services were conducted bv Elder J. A. Herndon of Durham Nelldean was laid to rest in the Wheeler's cemetery beneath a beau tiful mound of flowers. the pall bearers were her unties i Floral bearers were her first cousins.

They struck when the committee recommended such action: Could Be Evaded. The assumption was that the gen eral strike could be ended through similar recommendations. The future of the situation was believed to revolve around the test of strength between the conserva tive and the left wing elements in the labor movement here. When the labor unions of the city voted to follow recommenda tions of the general strike proposal. Wi effect they gave the labor coun cil's committee their proxy. The strike became a fact when the com mittee exercised the proxy b/ voting to recommend a strike. Conservative unions -Were expect ed to look at recommendations for ending the strike in the same way. Left wing groups, however, ap parently were prepared to oppose an end of the strike and base their opposition on two main grounds: First, that the maritime unions have nothing to arbitrate. Second, that the agreement to'fol low the lead of the labor council had to do with calling the strike and did not necessarily apply to its) ? termination. a i TOBACCO ACREAGE TO BE MEASURED SOON | (Continued from flrst page) will make note of the measurements, I and these will be checked in the County Agent's office, and again in Raleigh and in Washington . If any contract signer has plant-; ed more than his allotted acres in tobacco, he will be given an dppor-, tunity to plow up the extra- hills If he does hot care to plow up hlsj tobacco, he can use his own discre tlon in giving up his contract, re turning the rental payment which he has received, and selling his crop under the 25% tax. If the tobacco land cannot be measured until after the'crop is harvested, and it is then found that the acreage has bfeen more than that allotted by the government, then the owner will be required to destroy a proportionate share of each curing of tobacco. - No marketing card can be issued to any landlord for selling his to bacco crop until all his tobacco acre age and rented acres have been measured and certified to the Sec retary. No matter how busy a contract1 J signer may be when the supervisor 1 visits his farm, it will be very much worth while for him to assign some one to assist in the measurement and help to get this Job done in the shortest time possible. There are! .only eight or ten weeks until the markets open. These acres must be measured, the figures checked and certified at Washington, the I marketing cards filled out in Wash ington and sent to the farmers be .fore they can sell a load of tobacco The Supervisors go to the farms as friends to assist the contract signers. The government has' meas j ured the cotton, corn and wheat [lands. Tobacco lands are no excep tion. The measuring must be done accurately, and it must be done quickly if j we are to get our market ing cards'on time. Non-Contract Forms Soon Ready i Applications by non-contracting [growers for allotments of tax-pay ment warrants must be made upon forms provided by the Agriculture Adjustment Administration. These forms will be issued to those growers who for one reason or another are not eligible to sign the [regular contracts. Who May File Applications All applications shall be filled by the landowner, except in the follow ing cases: 1. Where the farm is rented to ? tenant who pays cash rent or a fixed amount of the crop as rent (standing rent), the tenant may file an application 2. Where the farm is operated (by one or more share-tenants or; 'share-croppers, and the owner or cash tenant or standing rent tenant is ineligible to make application or , refuses to make application, in any 'of which events each share-tenant or share-cropper may file a separ ate application covering his share of the tobacco which he produces. 3. Where a share-tenant who has : one or more other share-tenants and |[ or share-croppers (pub-tenants) is ineligible to make application, or refused to make application, each sub-tenant may file a separate ap plication covering his share of the tobacco which he produces. May Be Signed Until July 2fdh All tobacco farmers who have not already signed tobacco contracts should apply Immediately to the office of the County Agent and fill out the necessary forms and get their contracts In line before July; 28th. V. Growers who had not signed to bacco production adjustment con-, tracts prior to June 28th, 1934. may; sign such contracts, applicable to .the kind of tobacco grown by them,; J provided: 1. That such contracts are sub mitted to the county office not later than July 28th, 1934, and provided further 2. That the growers meet the same requirements as were met by growers who signed contracts during the regular sign-up campaign. If, more tobacco has been planted on the farm than the amount permitted under the terms of the contract and i Administrative Ruling No. 23, andj if the tobacco has not been har vested, the grower will be required to destroy the excess acreage of to bacco. If the tobacco has been har vested, the grower will be required to destroy such proportionate part of the tobacco as would have been destroyed by plowing up the excess acreage of tobacco. I Growers who sign contracts and submit proof of performance there under are entitled to all the pay ments provided for in the contract.

U FAMILY REUNION On July 8th, at about ten o'clock the children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, sons-in-law. daugh-, ters-in-law, grand-sonsin-law, grand daughters-in-law, and some friends of the family of Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Young assembled at the home of their son E. M. Young for a reunion. It was decided that because of the excessively high temperature the heme of the latter would be an ideal place for the meeting. The oak trees in the yard spread their state- | ly branches as if they had been : growing these many years Just for this occasion; they seemed to ex press an unspeakable Joy as their foliage rustled awhile and then formed such a network as to shut out the sun's rays from the eighty- i five mouths gathered around a long table filled with delicacies in abun dance. I God. in his injnite love, has graced the union of this elderly cou- j pie in giving them nine children, all of who mare living. Despite the fact that mother and father will have. been married fifty-three years next I November and reared nine children,! in all this time they have not spent j as much as fifty dollars for medi cine for them. There are forty-five living grand children and five dead, and five greatgrandchildren living. After lunch and while the ladies were clearing away the dishes, sev eral quartette numbers were ar ranged and later sung by the fol lowing men: E. M.. Richard. H. D. and J. H. Young.
