English Bride Spending First Christmas Here Airman Woodrow Piner Back Home For First Time In Past Four Years And Has Wife And Daughter It was a happy Christmas at the Magnolia Dairy Farm near Southport when Airman Woodrow Piner returned from England with his English bride and their daughter in time to spend the holidays with other members of his family. S And that, is quite • a family group. At the head of the clan is his grandmother, Mrs. Fred Stevens. Next in the chain of command is his mother, Mrs. Wesley John son; and their are sisters and brothers of all ages. This was the first time in four years that the young service man has been at home for Christmas, and for the past three years the holiday season has found him on ditty at Fairford, England. Times were not so lonesome for him there after he met and married the former Patricia Dianne Tan ner. Their wedding took place on December 28, 1960. The family was anxious to see Woodrow, and they wanted to see his new bride; but the fact of the matter is that the chief object of interest among the visiors was heir daughter, Donna Joan, now a little over one year of age. Airman Piner and his family will be here for the duration of his 30-day leave, after which he will report for duty at Malmstron Air Force Base, in Montana. Airman Piner apparently likes the Air Force for he reports that he has reenlisted and plans to make it a career. ir I BrW M Of •“NEWS-1 ASSISTANT CORONER Coroner L. B.

Freeman, accord ing to Manager Ralph L. Price of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Office in ShaUotte.! The national support rate on j corn will be increased from $1.20 to $1.25 per bushel or from 75 to 78 percent of the December parity price. Barley has been in creased from .93 to .96 per bushel, oats from .62 to .65 per bushel, rye from $1,02 to $1.07 per bushel and grain sorghums from $1.91 to $2.00 per hunderweight. These are national support rates and in North Carolina a freight differential is added. Thus, based on the 1962 differential, the support rate on corn here would be $1.39 per bushel. The support rates on the other fteed grains will also have the freight differ ential added.

New ASC Plan For Recreation Being Autlined Certain Farmland May Be Diverted For Use Under Provisions Of new plan By ASC Officials A limited number of farmers in Brunswick County may be eligible for cost-share assistance in establishing pilot recreation enterprises on thear cropland in 1963, according to Lonnie Evans, chairman, Brunswick County Ag ricultural Stabilization and Con servation Committee. The enterprises, part of the long-range program of land-use adjustment designed to help far mers convert their farms from crop production to grass, trees, wildlife and income-producing recreation uses, were authorized t>y Congress as a part of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1962. Under the program, the Gov ernment will share with a limited; number of farmers the cost of conservation practices needed in; order to make these conversions. In addition, adjustment payments' will be made to help farmers, make the conversion if the land is suited for regular use in the] production of crops. Primary re sponsibility for administering this; program has been delegated to USDA’s Agricultural Stabilization' Service, in cooperation with other! Department agencies, Evans pointed out. The pilot recreation develop-' ments may include conversion of! all or part of the eligible land on a farm to recreation use. Only' farmers or groups of farmers who own or operate cropland] which is being devoted to the production of new crops or small' grain, and tame hay, will be! eligible to participate in the pro gram. Land already in forest trees or shrubs for wildlife or [water impoundments will not be ; eligible, nor will land which has changed ownership in the past two years. “ % Loans for capital facilities such” as buildings and boat docks will, be available to qualified partici pants through USDA's Farmers Home Administration.
