AOs c nblicatii.n Office: Second Floor Daniels Bnildiag, Bd'kv Mount. Edgecombe County, North Carolina SEES THE END OF "POOR" HOUSES Smithfield Herald Mrs. W. T. Bost, state commissioner of public welfare, predicts the passing of the "poor" houses as a county institution for taking care of indigent persons. The social CENSUS CARDS ARE MAILED TO JOBLESS The local postmaster and rural car riers joined other tliruout the nation Tuesday morning in distributing cards which marks the start of the nations first unemployment census asked by President Roosevelt and authorized by Congress in an effort to determine the number of people in the nation without jobs or with part time work. The local postoffice distribut ed a number of cards to patrons. The cards, properly filled out, should be returned before midnight on Saturday. They are already ad dressed and need only to be dropped into a mail box or lianded to a post man. OTire e classes of people should fill out and return the cards. They are: (1) persons who are totally unem ployed, who are able to work, and who want work; (2) persons who are partly employed and want more work; (3) persons who arc working on a WPA or any other emergency work-project supported • by public funds. Housewives Exempted Housewives and unpaid family workers engaged in domestic duties,] and unpaid family workers helping in a family business or store, or on the family farm, should not fill out the cards unless they are looking for other work for pay. It is important that every total ly or partly unemployed worker fills out a, separate card. Additi onal curds may be secured from the post office. Information desired will be furnished by postal employ ees. Every unemployed or partially unemployed person gains by reg istering during this national census, according to John D. Biggers, who is in charge of the census. Administer Biggers quotes President Roosevelt as saying. "If you give me the facts, I shall try to use them for the benefit of all who need and want work and do not now have it." To Aid In Program Congress directed that the cen sus be taken "to aid in the formu lation of a program for re-employ ment, social security and unemploy ment relief for the people of the United States." While the unemployed are warn- £ | A SAFE DEPOSIT BOX j IN OUR VAULT WILL PROTECT YOUR j VALUABLES ! :: I ;; ♦ ] Cost is Less Than 1 cent Ji per Day | j Tlie Planters National Bank! j And Trust Company j! * MEMBERS: Federal Reserve System, |l Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation |l m 'f security act which provides aid for needy persons over 65 is the basis for the predic tion and she is already in her department, making investigations as to how other states are bringing to an end the "poor" houses or county homes. It is hardly to be doubted that "poor"' houses as such will in time be abolished. But there will still be a need for some place where old, sick, unwanted men and women may be cared for. The most of the inmates of county homes now are too feeble to care • for themselves and need nurses to provide for their welfare, and if the "poor" houses were turned into nursing homes or hospi tals of a sort, it would serve a good cause. The monthly pension checks of social se curity pensions will have to be much high er than it is now, however, before the pen sioners could become self-supporting pa tients in such an institution. The social security program, which is barely underway, is certain to bring changes in the administering of welfare work. Change does not always mean prog ress but in regard to welfare work, we be lieve progress will be made. Ed that registration on the report card is not registration for a job, there is the implied intention of Congress to use th§ information ob tained in the census for development of a constructive plan aimed at im proving the condition of the unem ployed. When the census has been completed, Congress and the govern ment will have data it has not had in the past in dealing with unem ployment, as there has been no general census since 1930. Informa tion will be available showing the age groups in which the employable unemployed or partially employed are found, in what trades there is enforced idleness, the parts of the country in which unemployment most prevails, which industries are lag ging in employment and what new industries are needed to augment available work in all parts of the country. The census will, therefore, supply statistics of valuable import ance to every community, not only to the unmployd but to every ele ment of the population. Urge 10 Percent Cut In 1938 Weed Crop Washington, Nov. 12. —Agriculture I department economists suggested to | day a reduction of 10 percent in [ the production of flue-cured tobacco I "if the present marketing situation is to be maintained." The suggestion was made in the department's annual tobacco outlook ieport which said "decreased exports from the 1938 crop seem likely, un less prices are materially lower." Prospects for increased exports this year are favorable, the econo mists reported, and domstic con sumption for the current year is in creasing. Consumption of scrap chewing to bacco was reported increasing slightly. The report carried a prediction cigarette consumption would estab lish new record levels in 1937. "Prospects are for some further, increase in cigarette and cigar con sumption in 1938 but no significant change appears likely in consumption of chewing tobacco, smoking tobac co and snuff," the economists report ed. They suggested a substantial in crease in binder type tobacco and an approximation of the 1937 production for wrapper types. Meanwhile the agriculture depart ment said the outlook for peanut pro- THE ROCKY MOUNT HERaID, ROCKY MOUNT, NORTH CAROLINA ducers in 1938 is not favorable. The bureau of agricultural eco nomics, prdicting another big crop, said the 1938-39 marketing situation would depend largely on the demand for peanuts for oil production. "The crushing outlet in the pres ent season is unfavorable because of the low prices for competing oils and fats," the report said. Miss Matthews Is Contest Winner Electrical Dealers Acclaim Contest Huge Success The final week's winners in the Electrical Dealers' Missing Word Contest were announced by the judges in Raleigh yesterday. The entry of Miss Constance Matthews of Spring Hope, was adjudged the best for this section and was ac cordingly awarded the prize for this district. The first grand prize was award ed to Mrs. Frank B. Robards of Henderson, N. C., while second grand prize went to Mrs. William A. Bea ty, Florence, S. C. The Missing Word Contest was sponsored by the Electrical Dealers in cooperation with the Carolina Power and Light Company in the' territory served by the latter. Thous ands of entries were received at con test headquarters during the six weeks the contest was in progress and participating dealers have ex pressed their satisfaction over the results. The object of the event was to better acquaint the home maker and the members of her fam ily with the merits of various house hold electrical services. A short sentence with various words missing was supplied on the official entry blanks and each entry was request ed to make a twenty-five word state ment regarding the service fea tured. Entries were judged entirely on sincerity and originality rather than on elaboration. IT ISN'T CHRISTMAS WITHOUT FRUIT CAKE A good fruit cake adds the finish ing touches to the holiday season, said Ruth Current, stat© home de monstration agent at State College. After dining on turkey and oth er good things to eat, she continu ed, a toothsome slice of fruit cake "is the very thing to top off the I meal." ( In the olden days, she went on, bakiqg was a ritual during the Thanksgiving-Christmas season —and today many a good housewife still feels the urge to bake at this time. Lucky is the farm housewife, Mips Current stated, for she has right at hand most of he ingre dients for a fruit cake: butter, eggs, nuts, dried fruits. The sooner the Christmas fruit cake is baked, the better it will be, she pointed out, for the cake mel lows and becomes more delicious with age. "Hero is a recipe so chock full of good things it is guaranteed to tempt any one," Miss Current said: One pound of butter, one pound of sugar, 12 eggs, one pound of flour. Cream the butter and sugar, add the eggs one at a time, then add the flour. Other ingredients are: two teas poons of baking powder, one teas poon of cinnamon, one teaspoon of cloves, one teaspoon of all-spice, one pound of Snltana raisins, one pound of Sunmaid raisins, one pound of citron, one pound of candied cher ries, one pound of candied pine apple, one pound of dates, one pound of figs, one pound of pecans, and one pound of blanched almonds. Soak the fruit for several hours or overnight in a cup of grape juice, add gradually to batter; steam cake for two hours and then bake in an oven for about an hour. | LEGAL ADVERTISING | VALUABLE FARM LAND FOR SALE By virtue of decree of the Super ior Court of Edgecombe County made in the Special Proceeding theroin pending, entitled, "In the Matter of R.
