Be sure and state your choice of shows and have your auswer post marked not later than Saturday. Winners tickets will be mailed out Sunday morning. 11?11 Louis burg lias every right to be collectively proud for work, iug so grandly together to stage the greatly successful Armory dedication and parade. Every thing went off Tuesday with satisfaction and entertainment for both participants and spec tators. Not only has this event secured Louisburg a great deal of needed publicity but it has shown the citizens of Franklin County what great good can be accomplished by a concerted, cooperative effort. Attendance at the parade, dedication and dance exceeded even the fond est expectations of those con cerned. That Tuesday will be long remembered by the peo ple of Franklin County and those of other counties who made the wise choice of visiting Louisburg on tliat day. The professional photographers on hand for the dedication and pa rade were Hill Mood of the Kal eigh Times and Fred Colin of the \V. I*. A. Information Ser_ vice. Colin supplied photos to the News and Observer. 11 ? If The high-handed tactics, of Metro-Goldvvyn-Mayei- in demand ing advanced admission prices for their "Boofn Town" lias delayed our dating of that epic. We could have played this show week be fore last if we had agreed to a three day playing time and adult prices from thirty-nine to fifty live cents. As a production num. her "Boom Town" was sold to us over a year ago and at that time there was no mention of advanc ing admission prices. (Especially, since the National Defense Act lias raised box office prices. we are of t'he opinion that the public should be allowed to see this pic ture or any other high-rated film at the same price th?v^ay to see some of the clucks that MOM and others occasionally produce. If MOM is going to scale admission prices according to entertainment value then there are some few pictures the public should receive pay for seeing. Not only Is this policy limiting the times a person will go t? tlie theatre in a given period it is setting up a false sense of values that will do irreparable harm in placing in the publics mind the feeling that if a picture is played at regular admission prices it is not of great- vfllue and entertainment. Nothing could be further from th? truth as pictures we have played and will play are just as dramatic and Just" as en tertaining as "Boom Town" even though played at regular admis sion prices'. We cannot call our selves expert critics but we have seen this picture, and great en tertainment that it is, it is no bet. ter than many we have seen in the past months or that we ex pect to see in the coming months. MOM can and will bring a great deal1 of pressure on us and we may still play "Boom Town" al> the advanced scale but only under protest to the distributors that this policy is unfair to the thea tre, to the public and to the in dustry as a whole. H? If Since .lupun has signed up with Italy and Germany in a totalitarian bloc opposing the United States we should more ? . than ever look to our defeases. Not only should we look at our physical defenses but our mor al armament nx well. The threatened advances of an avowed enemy is becoming u (loser and closer possibility. Tomorrow, next week or neit year we may be called upon to defend our shores and our form of life against those who have openly declared their hate and dislike of our democracy and freedom. Britain had hoped. . and still ho|H's tliaf we would enter the war on lier side. It was this British hope that no doubt caused Japan to he in fluenced Into joining the axis powers In the hope that this threat in the Pacific would keep the United Hates tending to lier own knitting while the bal cony hoys In Kurope completed their spinning of a web of en circlement Intended to enmesh and subjugate Kngland and eventually the United States. If Kngland defeats both Ger. many and Italy then the United States will be In a most favor able position as the best friend of the victor. With Britain as the winner then Japan will be forced to cither draw in her claws or get them clipped. With Britain as the loiter then the United Stales must prepare Have you planted your three acres of small grain? Each farm family in Franklin County includ ing owner, tenant, and sharecrop per is permitted to plant 3 acres of wheat' when the grain is to he used on the farm. Have you plan ted three acres of small* grain to be combined? If not. it is time to prepare land, fertilize and seed. It will be easily possible this year to plant wheat' in cotton fields af ter cotton has been picked. Bar ley and oats should be planted between October 1st and 15th, weather permitting.

Peas should be planted as soon as weather will permit. Inoculation is essential to good growth and costs less than 15c an acre. Favorable weat'her during the past three weeks lias permitted farmers to harvest approximately 5.000 bales of cotton undamaged by rain. This cotton if carefully dried before ginning, after having been picked clean, should give a sample of cotton grading middling or better. A large percentage bf cotton produced last year graded lower than middling. Franklin County should produce in excess of 300 pounds of lint cotton an acre or approximately 11.000 bales.
