THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1952 Program Worth Protecting Flue-cured tobacco growers will go to the polls Sat urday for what local, state and national farm and gov ernmental leaders call “the most important vote of this election year in North Carolina.” All producers of flue-cured tobacco —including land owners, tenants and sharecroppers, both men and women if they have an interest in the crop—are eligible to vote in the July 19 referendum on two questions: (1) Continue of flue-cured marketing quotas for three years (1953, 1954 and 1955), or for only one year (1953). (2) Continuance of their support of Tabocca Asso ciates, Inc., an organization of farmers, bankers, mer chants and others formed in 1947 to develop and expand the export market for tobacco. L. Y. Ballentine. state commissioner of agriculture, addressed “fellow farmers” in a statement reminding them that tobacco is vital to the economy of North Ca rolina and the fate of the price support program and the efforts to increase foreign trade of flue-cured leaf is “the most vital issue of this election year in our state.” He pointed out that no government price supports will be available on the 1953 crop unless marketing quotas are approved. Others who have issued similar statements pointing out the importance of a vote by “an overwhelming ma jority of the tobacco growers to show our interest and confidence in the two programs” include Governor Scott, most of the North Carolina members of Congress, Gov ernor-nominee William B. Umstead, R. Flake Shaw, exe cutive vice president of the N. C. Farm Bureau Federa tion; Harry B. Caldwell, Master of the State Grange; Dr. J. H. Hilton, dean of agriculture at N. C. State College; David S. Weaver, director of the State College Agricul tural Extension Service; E. B. Garrett, state conserva tionist of the U. S. Soil Conservation Service; J. B. Slack, state director of the Farmers Home Administration; A. C. “Lon” Edwards, immediate past president of the N. C. Farm Bureau Federation; E. Y. Floyd, director of the Plant Food Institute of North Carolina and Virginia; Fred Royster, president of the Bright Belt Warehouse men’s Association; Miss Ruth Current, State Home Dem onstration Agent, and many others. A two-thirds majority of those halloting is required to continue the programs. Polling places will be set up in Chowan County and all entitled to vote are urged to cast a ballot Saturday. The PEOPLE'S CHOICE THE CHOWAN BBRAIft EDENTON, N. C„ THURSDAY. JULY 17, 1962. »■■■■■;■" — lll " '* -"‘f [Heard & Seen BY “Buff” £ W Spec Jones and Wesley Chesson are in somewhat of a dilemma. They bought the lots on the western curve of Pembroke Circle adjacent to the creek, and before they can build homes on the lot® they must construct a break water. At present there are a lot of boats tied up along the lots, so that they canhot proceed with the work. What they want to do is to notify each owner of a boat to remove it, but there are so doggone many boats there they do not know who to contact. At any rate, they want the boats taken away at once so they can proceed with their plans to build new homes In the circle. Say what you will, the Lord evidently looks after his people. Last week I had a house full of company and just about the time the “cupboard was bare” Paul Ober dropped in the office to give me a big Chowan County watermelon. That settled the eating problem for a couple meals at any rate. And incidentally, I’ve b«en stuck so much on watermelons which are shipped in that hereafter I think I’ll hold out until the good old Chowan County watermelons and cantaloupes put in their appear ance. If they’re not good in Chowan, I’m about con vinced they are no better anywhere,else. An Edenton lady who was no slouch at playing bas ketball during her high,school days wag reminiscing the other day about the old days when the Edenton girls’ team was having a rough time with Elizabeth City. “We had lost several games to them,” she said. “We were determined to beat them by hook or crook. Finally, one of the gir’s came up with a real solution. She secured a box of Feenamint laxative chewing gum and put it in a Chicilet gum box. The Elizabeth City girls just went for it. In a short time they were having to run in a number of inexperienced players as substitutes, while the regular players visited the powder room. Needless to say, we won the game easily and one of the girls wrote us that they must have eaten something in Edenton that was not just right, for they spent much of their time in the washroom of the train on their trip back home.” Well, I’m in favor of doing the same trick the next time that guy Kovalchek, Rocky Mount pitcher, goes on the moupd against us. It seems to me that he’s a jinx to the Co lonial batters. So much so that Heath, who pitched Tuesday night, somewhat favored Kovalchek, and the Edenton batters could only get four hits off him. Kov alcheck come on the mound in the last inning with two men on base and none out, and I’ll be darned if he didn’t keep us ffom scoring. Yep, I’m in favor of doing some thing to keep him from pitching against Edenton. Members of the Edenton National Guard unit are scheduled to return from Alabama Sunday. They’ve been in camp two weeks, so that a lot of wives and sweethearts will be glad to see ’em return. I’m not a wife or a sweetheart, but I’ll be as glad a« any of ’em, for while Pete Manning has been with the outfit, I’ve been doing two men’s work, and as a result I must be looking sort of jaded. It’s the work, though, and not from my second marriage venture as some of my friends have intimated. ■J j f ' P ' e JAPANESE WOMEN RENOVATE TIRES FOR U.S. ARMY VEHICLES —ln the ordnance plant at Yokohama native women have been trained in preparing heavy tires for rebuilding for further use by the Armed Forces. More than 65,000 vehicles have been collected for rehabilita- / tion and are being made serviceable at a saving of millions of dollars for American taxpayers. (Department of Defense photo). Veterans Benefit By New Law In Effect Checks Due September 1 Scheduled to Be Increased Almost 120,000 blind, crippled and tuberculous veterans of all wars and peacetime service will receive increas ed payments in their compensation checks due September 1, 1952, under Public Law 487 signed by the Presi dent June 30, Veterans Administration has announced. VA said the increases are automa tic for those veterans who are receiv ing compensation checks for the disa bilities specified by the new, law. However, veterans who are not ofi the compensation roll® and are covered by the new law should apply at their nearest VA regional office. The new law goes into effect on August 1, and the increase will be re flected in the checks usually received by the veterans on September 1. Veterans who will receive the in creased checks are those who have been awarded statutory allowances for the loss, or loss of use, of either or both hands or feet, for blindness and for total deafness (in combination with total blindness). Veterans who are receiving a mini mum monthly rate of compensation for arrested tuberculosis will also re ceive increased checks. Statutory' allowances ere paid in addition to the basic compensation rates which are based on the degree of disability and range from $15.75 to 1172.60. The new bill authorizes for the .first time for World War II veterans and veterans with service since the begin ning of the Korean conflict a minimum monthly rate for arrested tuberculosis and a statutory allowance for the loss, or loss of use, of a creative organ. Up to now these benefits have been avail able under existing law to certain | World War I Veterans only. I « Now those bonds con keep on earning interest for ten more years! Abb you one of those patriotic and thrifty citizens who has held your Series E Bonds the full ten years? Here is important news! Now you’ll be able to keep those bonds earning more money. Without so much as your lifting a ' finger! ) Last year. Congress passed the* Bond Law which makes it possible for all Series E Government Bonds to continue earning interest for twenty years instead of ten as originally planned. For example, a Series E Bond which cost you $18.75 in 1942 wifi pay you $25 in 1952. But if you hold that same bond ten extra years, until 1962. it will pay you $33.33, an average interest of 2.9%. And there is nothing for you, as a bond holder, to do. You simply keep your bonds as you have been keeping diem. You may still redeem any Series E Bond at any time after you’ve owned it for sixty days. (The table on this page shows what you can get for it.) But holding on to your bonds is wise. Bankers recommend bonds as one of the safest forms of investment. So remember the new money-making opportunity your Government is giving you. Just hold onto your bonds. And buy more, regularly, through the Payroll Savings Plan or the Bond-A-Mohtn Plan. If you want to be paid your interest as current income The new law allows you to exchange Series E Bonds, in blocks of SSOO or more, for Special Series G Bonds which pay interest semiannually at the rate of per year. For full details, ask at any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch.
