Harrell, County Pu blicity Chairman. In other words, No Fund, No Run. On Saturday, August 29th, peanut growers will vote to de termine whether they are willing to assess themselves one cent per 100 pounds of peanuts sold to support the Peanut Promotion Program. The Board of Directors of the North Caro lina Peanut Growers Association has listed some of the things they will work on to help promote peanuts. 1. Promote farm practices which will increase yields and lower costs of production, keep farmers inform ed of all new developments in pro duction techniques (seed improve ment, disease control, harvesting practices, etc.), and encourage re search programs in these directions. 2. Keep producers informed on sup port prices and help farmers make full use of the loan program. 3. Keep producers informed on prices, demand and supply, and other market factors in order to aid in more orderly marketing. Help and encour age research programs which are di rected towards solving marketing problems. 4. Help to expand the use of Vir ginia type peanuts by emphasizing the sunerior quality of the Virginia Type for edible purposes. Develop new uses as well as expanding out lets for present uses and increasing per capita consumption of peanuts and peanut products. In this, the Association will cooperate whole heartedly with the processors and dis THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. N. CL. THURSDAY AUGUST 20, 1953. tributors of peanut products. 5. Emphasize the good qualities of I peanut oil with the view of expand ing its use. Although a minor part of N. C. peanuts are crushed, the com petition of this part of the crop with that of other areas has a depressing influence on all peanut nrices. 6. Work on transportation and stor , ng-e problems in order to reduce mar keting costs and promote orderly mar- i keting. For the same purpose, study grading, weighing and moisture prob lems and help work out their solu tions. 7. Promote consumption through controlling quality. Quality control must begin with Farmers’ Stock pea nuts and be maintained through all the stages of marketing and process ing. until peanuts reach the final con sumer. 8. Examine present support pro grams, and work out more equitable j urograms for the Virginia-North Car-1 olina peanut industry. We will be in j a good position to do so after we can 1 • show that the expansion in the use of peanuts will insure prosperity to the industry, and minimize the cost to the TRY A HERALD CLASSIFIED AC /WWWWWWWWVS/WWWWW^VWS/W You just can't buy all of these features in any other Pickup! ]/ NEW “DRIVERIZED” CABI NEW FORDOMATIC DRIVE!

Promote a better understanding among producers, shellers, manufac turers, and consumers in order that the North Carolina peanut industry will withstand the growing competi tion, from other producing areas and products. For this purpose, we want to help private industry market and process peanuts efficiently so that a fair profit will result, and fair prices can be paid to farmers. How the Funds Will be Used If the referendum carries, the funds to be collected will be used to employ a competent full-time Director and such other help as necessary. This Director will represent the peanut j producers on all occasions where the • interests of producers are being dis cussed, and decisions made. He shall be in charge of all projects which will be understaken in furtherance of the goals described above. The Director will represent the Board of Directors of the Peanut Growers Association at all times, and will keep the directors, and the ‘membership fully informed about his work and accomplishments. We emphasize again the import ance of a large turn-out at the polls, j Other farm producer groups have j blazed the trail we want to follow, i The Tobacco Associates have retum ied $250 for each ten cents per acre invested in that organization. The Washington apple growers have rea lized a net of $1.50 for each three „ cents expended for the promotion of Dtheir products. The peanut growers will be left behind unless they move jin the same direction. jN. J. George Finishes | Two Weeks Training Nicholas J. George, who teaches science at the Edenton High School, practices what he teaches—science. From a personal standpoint, how ever, the subject is slightly different from that which Mr. George teaches his pupils. It’s the science of flying military aircraft. Two weeks each summer Teacher George reports to the Norfolk Naval Air Station as Major George, United States Marine Corps Reserve, to fly Marine planes. He finished two weeks of such duty Friday, August 14. As a graduate of Waynesburg Col lege, Waynesburg, Pa., in 1942, Mr. George enlisted for pilot training in March of that year. After training at Pensacola, Florida, where he earn ed his wings as a pilot, he flew with the Marines until April, 1946. During World War II he served overseas in the Solomon Islands, Philippines and China. In 1951 Mr. George entered the University of North Carolina. He graduated from there with a Master of Arts degree in 1953. Mr. George is married and has two children, Mary Suzanne, age 5 and Barbara Jean, age 1.
