VOLUME FORTY-TWO
%VUr.:J
R. Flake Shaw of Greensboro, exe
'• cutive vice president of the
Carolina Farm Bureau, this
calling on all county _
more than 70,000 Fares Bureau mem
bers in North Carolina to “go all out
against Titles 4 and 5 of the Defense
Production Act, wfcish seeks to place
unfair orice ceilings on farm commo
dities.” r »
• He ealled on county
'seeretarfea Jto
and Senators protesting the possible
extension of price and wage controls
on the grounds that “they are un
workable, impractical and will not
control inflation.” -
He said that the House of Repre
sentatives will begin voting Hoigtejr
on Amendments to extend this act
which he termed as unfair to fartpew.
The Farm Bureau leader called at
tention to a resolution made by the
Farm Bureau delegation at* a recent
meeting in Raleigh which states; “we
join with the other 45 states, the
American Farm Bureau and other na
tional organizations in our request
that Title 4 of the Defense Production
Act be terminated. Our justification
for this request is based on the fact
that price control without wage con-,
trol is an impossibility, and we do hot
believe anj^ fair-minded perron would
claim to date that there has been any
evidence that the Administration
would try to enforce wage control
without the faintest hope of a roll
back.”
Shaw said that since the Defense
Production Act was passed by Cong
ress in 1950 it has done nothing but
confuse our whole system of produc
tion and marketing throughout' the
state and nation. He pointed out that
inflation has not been controlled in
the least and cost-of-living index has
continued to rise.

CHURCH
IS
iv,i
j
First services in the handsome new
sanctuary of the Farmville Presbyter
ian Church on Grimmersburg street
will be held Sunday morning at U
o’clock and open house will he held in
the afternoon, from 3 to 8 o’clock, at
which time the Presbyterians will
welcome their friends for an inspec
tion of the new plant.
The educational wing of the new
building has been in use for several
weeks and church services have been
held during that time in the Sunday
School assembly room. An earlier
opening of the sanctuary was pre
vented by difficulties experienced in
getting pews and other furniture and
equipment.
Rev. Edwin Coates and members of
his congregation have every reason to
be proud of their new church and
their friends are cordially invited to
visit and inspect the building Sunday
afternoon. They will be glad, also,
to have as visitors Sunday morning
those wSq do not have services in
their own church at that time.
Mans. Emerson Smith is in charge
of arrangements for the open , house.
The new church is boat along lines,
of aa English mission, and that idea
is followed throughout. In addition to
the sanctuary and assembly room,
there is a recreation room «n the sec
md floor capable of accommodating
youth meetings and similar gather
ings. The kitchen is equipped with two
electric ranges, sinks, a refrigerator,
and adequate cabinet space. The
ladies’ parlor, on the first floor also,
fills a long-felt need in the ehorch,
The Presbyterian* ate in accord
with the views of one young lady, a
visitor, who exclaimed, as she inject
ed the sanctuary after the furniture
had been installed, "Prettiest church
I ever saw." The Presbyterians may
be a bit partial in their opinion, but
the yest of town, welcomes the new
church as a valuable asset and addi
tion to the town’s religious facilities.
