Money Swapping Hits Town In The Form Of Letters So - Called Chain Letters Swamp Whiteville And Other Neighboring Towns A few of the so-called chain letters have come into Southport and seem to be moving at a very fast rate. The legal status of these letters that are called contracts has not been determined at this time A postal regulation outlawing chain letters is the focal point of an idea to keep these contracts legal by not using the mails for any thing but sending money. No mes sages are sent through the mail. The manner in which these contracts have moved so rapidly is by actually selling the paper with instructions and 11 names to a friend for $5 and at the same time requiring the buyer to mail $5 to the person who’s name ap pears on the top of the list and letting the buyer make two copies deleting the top name and adding his to the end of the list. Par ticipants hope to avoid prosecution by transacting the business per sonally and not through the mails. Rumors have been heard that some persons at the top of some letters have received hundreds of dollars all ip $5 bills. The auth enticity of these reports has not been received. * At the same time Whiteville fell beneath this tide of what is called “opportunity” other neigh boring towns were swamped. Talk has it that Chicago was the start ing point for these letters and Florence, S. C. was the first town or city in this area to feel the effects of these letters. . As far as can be determined, no one in Whiteville has been the recipient of money through the mails as a result of the chain. ASC Assistance Is Now Available Farmers Urged To Report Completion Of Practices Or To Turn In Authoriza tion To ASC Office The 1954 program year is near ing the end and any producer who has assistance set up for ACP Practices on his farm and has completed these practices but has not made a report of their completion to the county ASC office is urged to do so imme diately. If a producer wishes to use purchase orders to obtain the ma terials that are available now, he can call by the ASC office and the orders will be written. The final seeding date for permanent pastures and small grain cover crops is November 30.

AMOCUTMN Of AMHtCAN tAKlOAM 754 ------ Record Breaking Number Attend Annual Baptist State Convention With 3,084 registered messen-5 gers and visitors in attendance, the N. C. State Baptist conven tion meeting in Charlotte last week broke all records. The previ ous high of 2,675 was recorded at Greensboro last year. Ashe ville will be the host city in 1955. Approval of the committee to study race relations came after the Committee on Resolutions re turned a resolution which urged the convention to “recognize the validity of the spiritual and mor al basis in principle of the decisi on of the Supreme Court of the United States of America in re affirming this basic human right of equality which is in strict har mony with Christian teachng.” The resolution represented a slight revision of the original do cument presented on the floor of the convention Wednesday by Dowd Davis of Beaufrt, president of the Baptist Student Union. The phrase, asking that the principle be implemented “with utmost haste” was deleted by the resolu tions committee. As the resoluti on was changed, the convention committed itself instead “to ex ercise sound judgment and Chris tian love in implementing this principle (of integration) in our Baptist institutions in North Car olina.” a committee of 21 appointed to study the resolution will be com posed of the seven Baptist col lege presidents in North Caro lina; heads of the three other in stitutions, the hospital, home for the aging, and the orphanage; secretary of State Missions; and 10 additional members (five min isters and five laymen) to be na med by Convention President Do uglas M. Branch. No time was stipulated as to when ' this committee is to report back to the convention. “It may be next year, and it might be la ter,” one of the convention offic ers said. Action of the convention here with regard to race relations clo sely paralleled that of the South ern Baptist Convention in St. Lou is last June. A statement adopted by the southwide body said that “it is time for us to remember that racial advantage is not ra cial supremacy. These issues must be met by Christian statesmanship on the basis of Scriptural teach ing that every man is embraced in the love of God; every man has value in the sight of God; and ev ery man is included in the plan of God. The attitude and practice of every individual in this whole mat ter of race relationships should be appraised in the light of these truths.” Among other matters the con vention postponed the moving of Wake Forest College to Winston Salem until 1956. authorization so that it can be made available to other farmers who might want to use this as sistance. The producer who did not get his request in the initial sign-up for approved ACP practices can still go to the county ASC office and make a late request for as sistance. The late request will be approved out of money turned in by farmers who have cancelled their 1954 approved practices. Arizona wild game rangers are versatile fellows. Along with' vio lators of game and fish laws, the rangers also brought in to their Phoenix office three thieves of stolen cars—and one man charged with stealing a cow. -, Quick Dessert: Bake a can of ready-prepared refrigerated bis cuits according to package direc tions.

I Expect To Up Farm Exports Outlook For Increase Of At Least 10 Per Cent In Farm Products Exports Appear Good Present prospects appear favor able for increased sale of United States farm products abroad. An increase of as much as 10 per cent in exports of farm pro ducts to other countries, during the last half of 1954 and the fir st half of 1955 is held a possi bility by the Foreign Agricultur al Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. Dur ing the preceding year exports of farm products improved 4 pel cent over the low postwar level of 1952-53. If government surplus disposal programs are successful, the inr crease in farm exports may even exceed the 10 per cent expected this year, according to FAS. But over the long run, volume of ex ports will depend more upon high quality and attractive prices in products offered, and upon the nation's ability to meet exacting buyer preferences .overseas in an era of competitive foreign market ing. A product selected to meet demand here is not necessarily the preferred type of foreign standards. Through its service of reporting on foreign markets and with the ■help of United States agricultur al attaches stationed in 40 fore ign countries, the Foreign Agri cultural Service is prepared to help private traders meet the require ments of prospective overseas customers, according to USDA. Crop output this year is down about 5 per cent from 1953, largely because of r educed produc tion of cotton and wheat. Domestic demand for farm pro ducts is expected to be about the same in 1955 as in 1954. Keeping hens free of biting lice helps them maintain weight and produce more eggs.
