Support Your Farm Bureau IN ITS MEMBERSHIP DRIVE WHAT THE FARM BUREAU IS The basic idea behind the Farm Bureau is the banding together of farmers, including tenants as well as landlords, to bring about equality in prices for the farmer’s products with the prices of manufactured goods. When prices of commodities and goods are up, the Farm Bureau tries to bring about a rise in the prices for farm products in order that the farmer can stay in business.

I Halloween Ideas By MARTHA STILLEY Virginia Electric & Power Co. Home Economist The end of October traditionally be- : comes a time for mysterious whisper ng and secret plans. Ghosts and 1 witches are preparing to go abroad < in the last night of the month, and | no one must know who’s wearing what. Equally well guarded are the : | schemes for the parties that will take ' ’ place. The most exciting Halloween party I ever attended was one at which the whole house was kept in complete darkness. The guests were met at the door by a weird white Ghost carrying a single “candle” and were conducted through a winding catacomb of corridors to the Cavern of the High Witch lighted only by the flames in the fireplace. Strange eerie events took place in the Cavern punj> tuated by blood-chilling groans and screams. It was a night of one thrill after another and stands out in my memory. Parties like that mean so much to children and can be executed with very little trouble. For example, the ‘winding corridors” at the party I described were simply formed of sheets and blankets hung on wires or screens. Os course a luminous skeleton hung in a comer or a hideous mask with a light behind it could add much to the horors of the evening. As always, remember to guard against fire, especially when paper or cloth decorations are being used. Children are too valuable to be endangered. For example, instead of real candles, use small flashlights covered with red or orange crepe paper. I In the meantime, let’s not forget the refreshments at the party. The food served is one of the most important features of the evening and something new and different should be planned: to fit the occasion. Hot spiced Cider! Mr. R. Flake Shaw Executive Vice President X. C. Farm Bureau Federation P. O. Box W-4 Greensboro, Xorth Carolina Dear Flake: I want to thank you for the splendid assistance you render ed the “cause of peanuts” in connection with the recent effort to have this commodity removed from the basic list. I personally appreciate very much the fact that you came up to Washington for the meeting which I had arranged to discuss the importance of retaining peanuts as one of the basics. I also appreciate the fine contributions the Xorth Carolina Farm Bureau Federation made in working out the remedy of reducing acreage and in creasing penalties. I was glad to learn also through your tele gram of July first, which I have previously acknowledged, of the action of the American Farm Bureau Federation Board in voting to keep peanuts in the basic list. This telegram, as you know, reached me while the Farm Bill was being debated on the floor and was very helpful. With cordial good wishes. I am Sincerely yours, (s) Harold D.
