Referendum To Decide On Control Of Burley Tobacco "The Burley Tobacco growers will again have the privilege of deciding for themselves whether they will continue the control of Burley Tobacco;" stated Mr. Fulton, Chairman of the Macon County Agricultural Conserva tion Association Committee, in announcing that he had receiv ed official notice that a referen dum will be held at the Agricul tural Building, October 23, for the purpose of voting on the control of Burley Tobacco. He stated that the referendum al lows three ways of voting, (1) To vote for the control for 1944, 1945, and 1946 crops, (2) To vote for the control of the 1944 crop alone, (3) To vote for no control whatever. The provision of the referen dum provides that if the control is continued for three years all 1943 allotments will be Increas ed 20 per cent and the price of tobacco will be supported at 90 per cent parity. If the control Is not continued, no price will be In effect. Mr Fulton further stated that any producer who shares in a burley tobacco crop this year will be eligible to vote and at least two-thirds majority of eli gible voters must be in favor of control before quotas will be in effect. Therefore, he urges all eligible voters In Macon county to come out and cast their bal lot.

Uj up Clippings CHURCHILL PRAISES RELIGION IN BRITAIN Praise for religious activities in Great Britain has been given by Prime Minister Winston Churchill in an address broad cast to the world. Following remarks on educa tion in Britain, Mr. Churchill said: "There is another element which should never be banished from our system of education. Here we have . freedom of thought as well as freedom of religious toleration. "But side by side with all this has been the fact that re ligion has been the rock In the life and character of the British people, upon which they have built their hopes and cast their cares. This funda mental ele ment must never be taken from our schools and I rejoice to learn of enormous progress that Is being made among all religi ous bodies In freeing themselves from sectarian jealousies and feuds while preserving fervently the tenets of their own faith."

I and three other fellows stay ed for awhile on an out-post on top of a mountain and there I was put on the telephone crew. I like the work fine. I have a Sergeant for my boss, who is a swell fellow. We get plenty to eat here, although I haven't had such a big appetite. I guess I need some home-cooked food. I miss milk more than anything else. We get plenty of powdered milk here but It isnt like the real thing. We get can dy now and then and a few bot tled drinks. Beer, whiskey and wine are a rare thing, but no body seems to worry about it. * The lights will go off in a few minutes, so I guess I will close. Write to me and tell me all the news. Your friend, HOWARD SHOOK. At The Theatre The Constant Nymph is a ro mantic story produced on the screen from Margaret Kennedy's best seller, with setting and mu sical background matching In quality the supporting cast, in cluding the stars John Fontaine and Charles boyer. The music deserves special mention as of unusual interest and beauty, added to the ethereal mood of mountain scenes in the Swiss Alps. Rated by reviewers as EX CELLENT. In "Hers To Hold" is another picture that has "Excellent" as reviewers' rating and that furn ishes romantic and merry mo ments, good music and always pleasant entertainment. Deana Durbln is back with ft combination of romantic gaiety ^ In a new Deana, who promises audience delight The romftnce Involves ft young' flyer ftbout to t go to war, but It is not ft war picture, and combines a happy combination of singing star, comedy and romance. Also an "Excellent" rating. "They Came To Blow Up Am erica" adds a fourth picture next week with an "Excellent" rating. Here's a picture that should rate well at the box offices of America because it's a great saboteur story told without ho kum or counterfeit tricks, but with intensity, suspense and simplicity. It shows Germany In the rough, and the spectator knows that it does not exagger ate. Audience will be pleased, too, to see the Pi l. beat the life out Gestapo at its own game.
