V. 3. O. DANCE
(Continued from page one)
requested that the Raeford girls en
tertain the Maxton boys at a dance
each Tuesday night for several
weeks. Although it is not always
possible to secure an orchestra for
these dances the USO Committee
urges the local girls to attend. The
soldiers look forward to getting away
from the Post and the local girls can
be nice hostesses while 'they are in
Raeford. The dances, after all, are
given for the soldiers and the young
.ladies should attend them with this
idea in mind. If they are treated
cordially while they are in town
they will want to return and when
they leave Maxton, Raeford will be
remembered for the hospitality
shown them here.

The following is an editorial re
produced from the Editorial Page of
The Robesonian, daily newspaper of
Lumbeton, N. C, whxh appeared in
the issue of February 2, 1943.
Persistent and weekly circulated
rumors have it that the Federal gov
ernment is planning to take over the
tobacco auction warehouses and op.
erate them with government graders
and price-labelers in charge.
It is undestoon that the auction
system of selling tobacco was made
of none effect on the burley markets
during the past season.
As it comes reliably to The Robe
sonian, on the burley markets gov
erment garders went up and down
the rows on the warehouse floors
and put on every pile a tag desig'
nating its grade. The grader was
follodwed by another government
employee who put beside every
garde tag a tag designating the price.
Each buyer was allotted a certain
per cent of each grade and all the
auctioneer had tod do was to go
through the motions and! pas out
the allotments. '
acouli. Another contest is now in
progress thus keeping up interest,
and making the weekly meetings
well attended.
"Air Scouts," a new scouting pro
gram for older boys is trying to get
