The Graphic Arts Code was approved by the President February 17, 1934, and became operative on the 26th of February. Bebause of the Code's ramifications and complexities, iha district of North Carolina was >ne of the last sections to put it into operation, the publishers and printers, working cautiously and necessarily slow so that no hardships or mistakes or blunders would mar the way. General John-on, XRA Administrator, in his letter of transmissal to the President, said: "Only f ur other industries exceed the Graphic Arts Industries in th. value added to the product by manufacturing. This value in normal times i $2,400,000,000 annually. The statistics of the Grnnhw* irfj dustries aie difficult to break down. The wage bill of the industries is in excess of $300,000,000 annually; there are over 300,TVAC CO-OP CANNERY IS NOW ASSURED Committee Appointed To Make Application for Charter; over Half of Acreage Taken With the appointment of a committee to nfiake application to the State for a charter and more than naif the necessary average already taken by farmers in Cherokee and Clay counties, the TVAC Co-operative cannery at Murphy is an assured fact, it was stated by those interested in the proposition this week. Mrs. John C. Campbell, Mrs. J. W. Dyer, J H. Ellis, W. M. Fain, J. W. McMillan, J. H. Hampton and George Bidstrup have been appointed as a comlmittee to act as organizers and to make application for a charter of incorporation under the co-operative laws of North Carolina. A representative erf the TVAC spent several days last week in this section assisting in working out the details of the co-opertaive proposition for the establishment of a cannery at Murphy. The proposition embraces a grant by the TVAC of $10,000 if the Murphy business men will put up the huildintr and Tannine MininmRnt. and the farmers of Cherokee and Clay will agree to grow tomatoes gnd beans in sufficient quantity to warrant the undertaking. The business men of Murphy have alrealy subscribed sufficient capital to assure the building and equipment, and more , than 60 acres have been o T< 1. To vote a straight ticket make 2.

C., Friday, May 4, 192 DER NRA CODE C 000 employees and the periodicals which are published have an annual circulation of appioximately 180,000,000 copies.'* ch The Graphic Arts Code repre- St scnts a co-ordination of nearly to fifty codes into one basic code, S"\ and the act requires that it "shall cc be binding upon every person engaged therein." It provides for a standard work week, a minimum se basis of wages, and a minimum basis of pi ices for products mar.u- ni lactured. There are some difficulties yet j!1 to be ironed out, but the basic *13 code is now in effect and the management of this establishment is doing everything possible to live _ up to thp code in every respect, ;1 although we made a bad out of it J? the fiist week. However, we ask our friends and customers to bear with us and co-opeiate with us in its execution by getting all c py for news and advertisements in as eaily as ros ible. and let 11? hav c your printing so that it can be done on days other than Wedn sday and Thursday.

It was decided not to fix 0 | any definite price, but to make all . j pi Tees ba?ed on t?he prevailing mar- 'J | ket price at the time delivery is | made to the cannery, when the priced a : will be fixed weekly. This feature, it .v I was pointed out, would give the fa; m- " , er the highest price on a fluctuating mat ket. - " Sixty-one farmers have become f common stock holders and have taken r 60 or more acres of tomatoes and ^ | beans. Emphasis is being placed on [, tomatoes, wit.i beans as a secondary u product. So far no farmer has been R | allowed beans without taking same r acreage in tomatoes. This p >l;cy is y being taken occause green beans can be found on the market almost every h month in the year, and the market is v more favorable to green beans than f the canned producu However, toma- 0 toes in the can are in demand at all 0 seasons and this product in the can is easier to dispose of. ^ Those interested in the cannery a lUOject hope to have everything i workd Qut and toe acerage subscribed t by the latter part of next week. a Most of the farmers who have sub- r scribed already have their tomato j seeds sown, and Mr. Ketner estimated that enough seed had been sown for e about 70 ocres.

I \ to run against toe Democrat? in the tall elections, elected an executive c^i milte. and a county chairman. The gathering of Republicans wa? featured by an addrev? by llalsey B.

Jarrett, of Andrews, candidate for Stato senator from this distiict, w io was named temporary chairman of tfte meeting. John l-onley and Edwin Hyde were named temporary secretaries of the meeting. Mi. Donley's name \vas later placed before the convention and D. M. Reese was appointed to take his place. fThe address of Mr. Leavett carr.e shortly after the convention opened. He was introduced by Mr. Jarrett and spoke for nearly an hour. He attacked the Democrats and charged to em with being responsible for what he termed the present chaotic condition of the state and nation. The present indebtedness of North Carolina amounts to 200 million, he said, and was directly responsible to goverrfment by the Democrats. "Eveiytime the Democrats go into an election they promise an economical government, but after they are elected they immediately forget their promise, ' he declared. He denounced the sales tax and deplored the condition ar\d treatment which had been imposed upon the schools and teachers of North Carolina by a Democratic Government. He called attention to the fact that the voters would be called upon to pas. on a new state constitution, and warned against some of the changes whfch he charged toe Democrats are trying to put over on the people of North Carolina. He said a number of the proposed changes took away the rights of the people to pass upon the candidates for certain offices which are now elective, and vested the pointive power in the governor. Illustrating, he declared that the Justices of the Supreme Court, who are now elected, would be appointed instead. He declared that the new constitution provided for a new system of taxation, the appointment of many boards which are now elective, and lor more boards, more jabs and more salaries, and warned t.he people to inform themselves of the real facts and to cast their ballots accordingly. Mr. Leavett dwelt at length upon the national policies of the Democrats and scored Vice President Garner as being a "peanut politician" and charged him with using his influence as speaker of the house of representatives during the latter days of the Hoover administration in blocking policies and measures of Mr. Hoover for the "benefit of a suffering American peoDle". Thp Dermicratic platform of 19S2 pledged a reduction of 25% in the cost of national government, he declared, but instead of decreasing the cost of government, the Democrats had increased it by 25%. He pointed out that President Roosevelt, in his budget mesage to congress last January, admitted a deficit of over 7 million dollars. He scored the NRA and termed it "the government meddling in private enterprises," and declared that it had destroyed the anti-trust laws of the country and wr.s workine untold hardships upon the small business. "What would Thdmas Jefferson say if he were to return today?" he asked. In conclusion, Mr. Leavett declared (Continued on page 8 )
