C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1942 ’Teen Age Youths Begin To Register j On December 11 I Armory Only Place In County For Boys to Register NUMBER SMALL Registration Must Fol low Reaching Eigh teenth Birthday In accordance w.th a bulletin from the State Selective .Service headquar ters relative to the sixth registration, the Chowan County Draft Board has furnished information relative to this registration. The Board has deemed it wise, in view of the fact that there will be such a small number to reg ister—those becoming 18 since June 30, 1942—that there will be only one place for registration, which will be in the local Board’s office in the Armory. The office will be open each day from 9 a. m. until 5 p. m., with Miss j Mildred Munden, clerk, and Mrs. Belle W. Parker, assistant, acting as registrars. The dates for registering are as follows: Those who were born on or after j July 1, 1924, but not after August 31,1 1924, shall be registered on any day j (luring the week commencing Friday,! December 11, and ending Thursday,! December 17, 1942. Those who were born on or after September 1, 1924, but not after October 31, 1924. shall be registered pn any day during the week com mencing Friday, December 18, and ending Thursday, December 24. Those who were born on or after! November 1. 1924, but not after De-j cember 31, 1924, shall be registered) on any day during the period com- j meneing Saturday, December 26, andj ending Thursday, December 31. During the continuance of the j present war, those who were born on or after January 1, 1925, shall be registered on the day they attain the eighteenth anniversary of the day of their birth, provided, that if such an niversary falls on a Sunday or a legal holiday, their registration shall take place on the day following that is not a Sunday or a legal holiday. Vote On Cotton Quotas Determine Loans To Farmers I Producers Vote on Im portant Question Sat urday, December 12 When North Carolina cotton pro- j ducers vote on Saturday. December I 12, on the question of marketing quo tas on the 1943 crop, they will, in! effect, be casting a ballot for or! against the 90 per cent of parity loan, according to Tom M. Cornwell,! Cleveland County farmer and a mem-1 her of the State AAA Committee,' with headquarters at State College. Under provisions of the Agricultu ral Adjustment Act of 1938. there can be no federal cotton loans in any year when less than two-thirds of the eligible producers voting fail to ap prove quotas in a national referen dum. Granting of loans without quo tas. Cornwell explained, would be disastrous for the entire farm pro gram, If loans are available, some control must be maintained by farm ers over the amount they produce in order to bring supplies in line with demand. “’There is no question about it, the .rr.eseut price of cotton is due largely to loans and quotas, arid not to the war situation,’’ he said. “Although domestic consumption of cotton has risen to new high levels, most of our' foreign markets have been "closed" duel to: the war. The loss of exports has j more than offset the rise in domestic | onsumption.” The AAA official said there is at! present almost two years’ supply of cotton on hand, and because of this cotton —except in the case of long staple varieties—can be classed as a surplus crop. In previous years, he declared, when there have been no price supporting loans, supplies of present proportions have resulted in falling prices. Citing the increase in number of polling places this year to conserve transportation facilities, he urged all eligible producers to vote in the re ferendum Saturday. Any person who > produced cotton in 1942 as a land lord, tenant, or sharecropper is eligi ble to vote. AT FEED CONFERENCE Earl Harrell is today (Thursday) and Friday attending a feed confer ence being held in Raleigh, sponsored by the State Department of Agricul ture. He expects to return Friday night.

A. 3,747 Lunches Served In Lunch Room During: November St. Paul’s new rector, the Rev. j Lewis Schenck, was the principal j speaker at the meeting of the Eaen ton Parent-Teacher Association on Tuesday afternoon. He spoke after a brief business session and during his remarks was high in praise of tne work of such an organization, which he said is very worth while, espec ially as it relates to under-privileged children. He briefly explained his idea of the meaning, significance and responsibilities of the Parent-Teach er Association, upon which rests a i great responsibility for both parents and teachers in developing children | into future citizens and leaders of the community. To properly do this, he I said, teachers should set a noble ex ample, which will always be remem bered by the children under them. Parents, he said, should teach their children to be loyal to their teachers and school and to cooperate with the teachers. The principle purpose for his pres -1 ence at the meeting, he said, was to get acquainted with the members and to offer his help and assistance in any way possible to all local organi zations, of which he expressed a de ! sire to become a part. In closing his i remarks he pledged himself and his j wholehearted support and loyalty to! the Parent-Teachers Association.

One new member, Mrs. Maynard Perry, was welcomed by the Asso ciation. Rationing: Office Will Be Closed Afternoons Due to the enormous volume of work and the records that are requir ed by the Office of Price Administra tion to be kept on a current basis at all times, it will be necessary for the office of the local War Pr.ce and Ra tioning Board to be closed each as- i ternoon. The office will be open to j the public each week day from 8:30 :to 12:30 p. m., this change to be ; come effective immediately.

Mr. King has also an nounced that the Scoutmaster’s train ing course has been postponed until after Christmas. That a large number of Edenton people interested in Scouting should be on hand is desired due to the fact that H. A. Campen is a possible can didate for next year’s district chair man. Governor Broughton Opposed To Fireworks Governor J. M. Broughton this week expressed the hope that local government authorities in North Carolina would prohibit the use of: fireworks during the Christmas sea-! son this year. “The use of fireworks during the!: Christmas season is wholly inappro priate and out of harmony with the season that is observed,” he said. Particularly is this true at the pres ent time when every ounce of powder and explosives ought to be directed in the channels of war against our enemies.” CORN FOR SALE | We have just received a car load of YELLOW CORN and will unload it j Thursday (today) and Friday. * Those interested in buying - Corn may do so today and tomorrow at the car » | at the Norfolk Southern Passenger I I Depot. j I The Price—sl.2s Per Bushel f.o.b.
