American farmers 'his year will use twice as much oil-driven horsepower as the otal 6uch power consumed in the nation's factories, accord ng to T. E. Horton, southeast ern district chairman of the Oil Industry Infoimation commit tee. He reported that tractors, en :ines, and trucks on farms now ?each a new record of 178,000, 100 horsepower. This recent es imate by the U. S. Department if Agriculture is about twice the imount of oil-driven power con sumed in factories annually, he ;aid. If farm automobiles are in cluded in the total, the median, teal energy put to labor-saving work on farms will exceed ail industrial power consumption many times over, he noted. Mr Horton pointed out also that he numoer of faim automobiles sxceeded the number of horses on the farms in 1950 for the first time in history. Annual Sing Of Southern Division Set For Sunday The annual sing of the south ern division of the Macon Coun ty Singing convention will be held at Clark's Chapel Metho dist church Sunday, it was an nounced this week by Tom Hen son, secretary. The event Is set to start at 10 a. m. Picnic din ner will be served on the grounds at noon, and the pro gram will continue into the afternoon. All singers are in vited, Mr. Henson said. Jerome Will Preach At Franklin Methodist The Rev. Robert L. Jerome, pastor of the First Methodist church at Elizabeth City, will preach at the Franklin Metho dist church Sunday morning at 11 o'clock,' it has been an nounced by the pastor, the Rev. C. E. Murray. Mr. Jerome and his family are here visiting Mrs. Jerome's parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Porter. No. 2 roads, Raleigh. The commissioners also ap proved road petitions on the Bowery road, and the Little Yellow Mountain road, and for warded the petitions to E. L. Curtiss, highway engineer. Mrs. Ella Peek was appointed registrar of the Sugarfork town ship to serve the remainder of the unexpired term of Mrs. Faye M. Mashburn, resigned. No. 4 instance has the full quota been raised In the initial mem bership campaign. As a result, the campaign chairmen have had to spend much time, over a period of months, on the project. Members of the committee expressed the view that it is unfair to ask so much of any one person? and this year they have been unable to find any person who has sufficient time to agree to take over the chairmanship. The proposal worked out by the committee is twofold. It is proposed, first, to charge each school child attending the children's concert a quarter. It is felt that most children who wish to attend can raise that ! amount. The school authorities have approved this plan and agreed to cooperate ? and it is estimated that this would raise between $200 and $300. The second half of the proj ect calls for the underwriting, by 25 business houses or in dividuals, of $25 each of the cost of bringing the orchestra to Franklin. Then, instead of | holding a long-drawn-out mem 1 bership solicitation campaign, memberships would be made available, at any time, to those who wished them, or they could buy their memberships at the door the night of the concert here. In the event membership receipts, plus receipts from the children's concert, were insuffi cient to pay for bringing the orchestra here, each underwrit er would be called on for his proportionate share of the def icit. The charge for the two con certs is $850. Of this total, $76 ? an overage left from last year's membership campaign ? is on hand. If the children's concert raised $250, that would leave only $525 to be raised in mem berships. That amount compares with $826 raised last year. Since no one is available to conduct a long campaign, how ever, the committee members feel that the only way the con certs can be assured this year is through the plan of under writing. Business houses or individuals who are willing to help bring the orchestra here by under writing the event, by up to $25 or more each, are asked to call i The Press office and sign a | form drawn for the purpose. If a total of $625 is underwritten Monro* Conccrn Bids Low For 18.8 Miles Of Road Work In Macon County Dlckerson Inc., of Monroe, submitted a low bid of $77,510 for 18.8 miles of road surfacing in Macon County.

Macon roads to be su faced under the bond project are Pat ton road, Rabbit Creek road Tessentee road, Iotla-Burning town road, Phillips Eridge road and Rabun Bald road. Macon Construction company a local concern, submitted f low bid of $316,309 for road worl on N. C. 209 from Hot Springs to Betsey's gap in Haywood County.
