FARMERS LIKE THEIR AAA TOBACCO QUOTAS Kind Their Poundage Quotas Are More Than They Had Expected Wilson, Aug. 23. ? Local tobac co farmers, who have grumbled much against their AAA tobacco acreage allotments, are in a much better humor as the opening of the 1938 marketing season in the bright belt approaches. Many of them are now receiv ing official announcements of | their poundage quotas under the contTol program, and have ex pressed general approval. Farm agents in near-by coun ties have reported that a number of the growers were much sur-l prised at getting higher quotas than they had expected. W. L. Adams, local farm agent,! who was in t'he center of much of 1 the storm, reported that he and the local AAA committee are "very well pleased with the quo tas." The quotas are the number of pounds growers may sell without' tax. Those who exceed their quo tas must pay a tax of three cents a pound, or half the market price, whichever is greater, unless they buy extra poundage quotas from ot>her growers.

UNIQUE MISSION STUDY CLASS HELD AT BAPTIST CHURCH The Young Women's Auxiliary of Louisburg Baptist Church III-, itiate Mission Study Class For Four Consecutive Evening* Dur ing; The Warm Month of August ] The demand today is for trained) leadership in every activity. If thej cause of missions is to prosper.' men and women must be given the I opportunity to know missionary} conditions and be trained in the; meet'hods by which they can use their knowledge effectively in J awakening interest iu the hearts] of others. The purpose of a mis-1 ^sion study class is to provide such! opportunity for all who will avail] themselves of the rare priviledgei of studying, learning, living and thinking with the peoples of the world or whatever area or scope of territory the class may be di-i rected. The book chosen for this study [ was "The Keys of the Kingdom"] written by Mrs. Una Roberts Law-] rence, Mission Study Editor, of the Home Mission Board, located! in Atlanta, Georgia. The book is a survey, giving a glimpse of all I home mission work as done by the , Home Mission Board of the South ern Bapt'ist Convention, with special attention to foreign popu lations. Southern Highland re gions, the Negro iu the South. The approach is from the standpoint of i personal responsibility for the go ing on of t'he Home Mission en terprise. Much careful planning and pre paration was done previous to the' class periods. Through the coun selors and committees of the Auxiliary three "Key Leaders" j were chosen and given a large; bunch of silver, gold and bronze keys, respectively; these leaders] iu turn presented to each mem ber of tiheir group a "key" with I certain rules and regulations fori the wearing and using of that key. First, It must be worn all the, time and all questions answered I concerning its significance. The key was the symbol of entrance toi I the door of the study class. Fines] were imposed upon those seen without their symbol key. The enlargment of the various "Key groups" depended upon the en-i thusiastic diligence of t'he mem-i bers in pinning the different key symbols upon their enlisted new members; and on each succeed- i ing day the captains presented to each member, as well as. pros pective members very cleverly and attractively designed personal iu-j vitiations suggestive of the study of the "Keys of the Kingdom." Standard bearers were made to hold the large key symbols. The keys were made of gold, silver} and bronze. These bearers were covered in the Auxiliary colors, green and white, and the mono gram Y. W. A. was placed upon each bearer, directly underneath the large Key symbol. Each group sat under their respective symbols each evening and reports were given and an average made at the conclusion of the class thus an nouncing the leading group which proved to be the "Bronze Key" group of which Miss Elsie Hud son was Captain. informing ana attractive post I ers were made to assist in the| I teaching of each of the four chap-! ters; while on Wednesday evening ! the chapter was taught through j t'h meedium of dramatics. A play let entitled "One Woman's Vision" ; was given with costuming repre | senting the "nineties." Supper was served at the church | each evening at 6:30 in order to convenience the business girls; on the last) evening the supper took the form o? a banquet table "around the world." The table was decorated with "cut out" people from different countries interlac ed with colored patterned keys, with a large replica of the book ? "Keys of the Kingdom," forming the center. The dessert carried the motif of the key donned on a toothpick which was placed on each of the oval shaped pieces ol' j | iced melon. Each chapter was prefaced by ! informing reports from the var ! ious key groups, on collateral and especially assigned reports relat ing to the various countries a?d the work of the different mission ary boards. The culmination of interest, : fun and fellowship was reached on the last evening when after six teen young women took a "true and false" examination a delight ful party was enjoyed at which 1 the mothers of the girls were hon or guests. A mental baseball game was played In which keys were were used as the ball and bat. The teacher was the referee andj the Captains of the various key! groups led as the first "batters."! The final score again went to the1 bronze group. No little of the success of the! happy and profitable occasion throughout the course was due to, Miss Mamie Pavis Beati, who no ably and efficiently directed the study and utilized the methods of lecture, question and answer, and dramatics In her teaching. A pre sentation was made Miss Beam at the close ot the last evening and words of appreciation were spoken INew Heat Wave Drives 'em In SPRING. LAKE. N.
