test. This beauty contest will be
held on Friday night, March 9, at
8 o'clock in the Perquimans High

At this time North Carolina's 14!),
921 4-H members, their parents,
leaders, and friends will join with
two million other 4-H members
throughout the nation in the obser
vance of National 4-H Club week, a
period set aside to bring to the at
tention of the public the signifi
cance of 4-H Club work find its
program of varied opportunities for
farm boys and girls.
The chief objectives for the ob
servance of National 4-H Club
Week arc to provide members a
special occasion for evaluating past
achievements and making plans for
future activities on their farms,
and in their homes and rommuni
ties; to inform the public, includ
ing parents of the value of 4-H

Here' in North Carolina specia
emphasis will bo on providing op
portunities for a larger number of
boys and girls to participate, in tin-
program and on the expansion of
the local- leader program. Per
quimans County has recently or
ganized a 4-H Leader group. This

The teaching of proper ideals and
attitudes for wholesome relation
ships in the home, neighborhood,
and communities, through family
living, club meetings, 4-H camp,
achievement days, picnics, and com
munity organization activity serves
to develop the social objective of
4-H. - r-.
. Four-H Sunday programs, vesper
services, the development of char
itable attitudes and a greater ap
preciation for the finer things of
life serve to emphasize and de
velop the spiritual growth and de
velopment objective of the 4-H
program. Coupled with the other
threo objectives, 4-H serves "to
train youth In the art of living."

New Wage Hour
Law Now In Effect
At least 170,000 North Carolina
workers received pay increases as
of Thursday, March 1, when the
legal minimum wage under the
Federal Wage and Hour Iaw whs
boosted from 75 cents to $1.00 an
hour.
State Labor Commissioner Frank
Crane conservatively estimated that
not less than 28 per cent, and per
haps more, of the (iOO.OOO workers
covered by the Wage-Hour Law in
North Carolina received direct pay
increases as a result of the $1.00
minimum.
Some 35,100 textile workers or
about 15 per cent of the 234,000
employees in the State's huge tex
tile industry- received increased
Commissioner Craine said. A larg
proportion of the textile workers
affected are employed in, seamless
nopiery iijiu,cohuii yam im.unt-u
mills.
Next largest group of workers
to be affected, said Crain, is em
ployed in : the lumber industry.
About 22,080 workers in sawmills
and planing mills or 80 per cent
of the total of 27,000 workers em
ployed in those operations receiv
ed increases.
Some 10,200 furniture workers
received pay hikes. The Tar Heel
household furniture; industry em
ploys currently about 33,100 work
ers, of whom '49 per rent are af
fected by the $1.00 minimum.
In the seasonal tobacco stem
mery and redrying industry, as
many as 28,500 workers benefitted
from hte new minimum wage, said
Crane. Employment in the indusrty
varies from a low of around G,000
to a high of 30,000 at the peak of
tobacco processing operations.
From 90 to 95 per cent of these
seasonal workers ueneiuteu, ne
stated.
About 17,000 workers in the ap
parel industry received wage in
creases. The industry in January
employed 23,300 workers. About
76 per cent of them have been
earning less than $1.00 an hour. .
In the food products industry, 13,
500 workers or 60 per cent of thej
22,500 workers employed benefit-,
ted. I
Other sizeable groups affected
by the $1.00 minimum include 8,-
000, or 20 per cent of the more than
40,000 workers employed in whole
sale trade; about 4,730, or 61 per
cent of the 7,800 workers employ
ed in the stone, clay and glass pro
ducts industry; 3,860, or 15 per rent
of the 27,600 workers employed in
the State's transportation (except
railroad) industry; 2,620, or 20 per
cent of the 13,100 employees of in
surance companies; 2360, or 24 per
cent of the 9,800 employees of tele
phone, telegraph and other com
munications industries; 2,050, or 35
per cent of a' segment of covered
workers in the construction indus
try; 1,590, or 42 per cent of the
3,800 workers employed in mining;
1,400, or 40 per cent of the ap
proximately 3,500 workers employ
ed in the State's fertilizer indus
try at the' peak of seasonal opera-
tions; 1,350, or 90 per cent of the
1,500 workers employed in cotton
seed oil manufacturing: 1,370, or
32, per cent of the 4,425 workers
employed by loan ' companies and
miscellaneous financial -agencies;
and 1,010, or 13 per cent of the .V,-
of Jerusalem
1
740 employees of banks.
Labor Department studies indi
cate that the impact of the $1.00
minimum wage will be about twice
as heavy in Eastern North Carolina
as in the State as a whole, Com
missioner Crane said. As high a
proportion as 60 per cent of the
covered workers in the eastern part
of the State will receive direct pay
increases under the new minimum.
Commissioner Crane emphasized
that the $1.00 hourly minimum
wage applies only to those work
ers who have previously been cov
ered by the 75-cent minimum. Only
those workers engaged in interstate
commerce or the production of
goods for interstate commerce are
protected by the Federal Wage aiid
Hour Law, he said. r.
'Fhe new minimum does not ap
ply to vVtjrkersi:in fj-etiil storfcsj.and
local service industries.. It does hot
cover workers in restaurants, ho
tels, theatres, barbershops, beauty
parlors,1 grocery stores, drug stores
or filling stations. Nor does it ap
ply to farm workers or domestic
workers.

Corn Allotment
Notices Mailed
Local Producers
Notices of the 1U56 Com Farm
Allotments have been mailed to
corn producers in Perquimans
County, Helene W. Nixon, Perquim
ans County ASC Office Manager,
said today. The 1956 county corn
allotment is 16,058 acres which is
a reduction of 2,715 acres from the
1955 corn allotment for the coun
ty. The percentage of parity .sup
port level for corn in 1956 will he
6 per cent lower than the 1955 lev
el, or 81 per cent. Tilman R. Walk
er, Chairman of the ASC State
Committee reported that applying
this 81 per cent support level to
the January 15 corn parity price
of $1.73 a bushel gives a minimum
national support level of $1.40 a
bushd. Hp explained that this
$1.40 national minimum, according
to the law, cannot he reduced, but
may be increased if a combination
of the corn parity juice as of Oc
tober 1, 1956 anil corn supplies as
of that date call for a higher sup
port price.
The minimum national support
level for 1955 was $1.58 a bushel,
and that same price prevailed as
the actual national average sup
port level last year. Last year,
the support level in nil commercial
counties in this state was 16 cents
a bushel higher (ban the national
average. Applying that, same 16
cent difference, Walker says, would
provide a good estimate of the sup
port level in this state of $i.5(i a
bushel in the commercial coin
counties.
The prico (support, program will
be carried out this year through
Commodity Credit Corporation
Loans and Purchase Agreements.
To be eligible for corn price sup
port in the commercial producing
area, producers must be in com
pliance witlv corp ; acreage allot
nienls, "Ear or shelled corn to he
eligible'ifor-. support must'! grade
number i! or better. The com must
be in adequate storage, and must
meet moisture requirements.
Farmers desiring additional in
formation about the corn allot
ment for price support should con
tact the County Agricultural Stabi
lization and Conservation Office,
Miss Nixon said.

rectors and discussed the prospec
tive legislation action and the

The County Farm Bureau also
went on record asking its Con
gressman and Senators to oppose
the bill outlawing type 'legislation.
This was the bill that was drawn
up affecting peanut growers to a
large extent as it would prohibit
the increase in Virginia type pea
nuts without increasing the Bunch

The Armed Services Committee
of the House of Representatives on
Tuesday approved a Defense De
partment request for $6 million to
reactivate Harvey Point. The pro
posed appropriation must be ap
proved by Congress as a whole be
fore funds become available, but it
is anticipated that this authoriza
tion will be forthcoming.
Announcement has been made
that the Navy Department will
seek additional funds for construc
tion of a seaplane base at Harvey
Point:, with a total outlay of some
18 million dollars.
Heart Fund Brive
Reported As $217
The result, of Hertford's first
all-out Heart Fund Drive, though
encouraging, fell way below antici
pated results. This perhaps is ex
plained by the fact that so many
families were not at. home when
the volunteer workers called.
The total results as of Tuesday
were $217.59. Rev. James O. Mat
tox, fund chairman, urged that
those families who were not at
home when the worker called last
Sunday to use the self-addressed
envelope that was left in the door
to mail in their contributions. If
for some reason an envelope was
not left, then the contributions may
be sent to Tommy Byrum, treas
urer or to H-E-A-R-T care of the
