GREENWOOD, Miss
20. — An investigator for
the Red Cross left today by
motor launch to investigate re
ports that a thousand persons
in Panola county, north of
here, are in immediate danger
of starving.
The report was received
through a round-about source
that the district has been un
der water for the past month.
JACKSON, Miss., Jan. 20.—
Great flood waters continued
their devastating sweep over
north Mississippi last night, mov
ing- inland from new levee breaks
and adding to the peril of 2000
persons trapped in the Tippo
basin section.
Workers lost ground in both
their main stands against onrusli-
ing waters yesterday. A gap in
the_ levee 18 miles north of Bel-
zoni, one of the important towns
in the district, had widened until
it was beyond repair and lIih
town
water
ctions of town and many resi
dents were forced to flee expen
sive homes.
More than 300 convicts have
been aiding citizens in their work
of strengthening levees at Green
wood. The two cities have a
population of 15,000.
Plight of 2000 persons maroon
ed in the Tippo basin gi’ew more
serious as there was still a short
age of boats for rescue work.
The isolated persons clung to
high spots of ground, trees and
housetops, most of them without
food or shelter.
The state yesterday launched
several moves to aid the strickeji
region. Theo Bilbo, who retired
as governor yesterday, announced
as a last official act he had des
ignated one of the delta com
panies of the national g’uard as a
boat company. He askecl the
state legislature to finance this
. . - - company and supply it with three
at the mercy of the 1 large barges and a fleet of spe
cially built outboard’ niotorboats.
Value of School
Lunch Stressed
By MRS. PAT KIMZEY
(Written for Parent-Teacher
Association)
• From the standpoint of health,
the school lunch is no more im
portant than any other . meal in
the day, but it is more dificult to
provide the right foods foi' this
meal and to serve it in a whole
some setting. It may be inconven
ient to prepai'e and carry a lunch
box, but, if the trouble it takes
spells HEALTH, it is worth while.
A luncheon box should be inviting
enough to tempt the most fickle
appetite of growing girls, and am
ple enough to satisfy the huge ap
petite of growing boys. If the
lunch really satisfies, there will
be less craving for sweets which
are the cause of many illnesses.
Do not try to have too many
kinds of foods in one lunch—in
cluding too many foods in one
lunch makes it difficult to have a
variety from clay to day.
SANDWICHES
■ Sandwiches, the staple article
for the lunch box:
Use good bread; day-old is best
and may be bou-ght cheaper. 'Vary
and shape for. vai-iety. Sand-)
wich fillings should be mildly sea
soned.
Suitable fillings:
Shredded lettuce or cabbage
with dressing (brown bread).
Chopped egg, on buttered
bread.
Cottage cheese and jelly.
Cheese moistened with cream.

Monday morning. At that point,
about 55 men will begin work the

representative of the Transylvania
Times. He added that if business
warrants it, the plant will continue
to operate indefinitely and will
add a number of men to its pay
roll. This establishment has been
closed for some time and its re

A fe-w hours earlier
flared into a gun battle at Ham

Orleans, which left one man dead
and two wounded. The fights
started when the men quarreled
over the merits of two candidates
for governor.
Elmer Dunningham, 32, former

which climaxed the political argu

Data Will Be Basis on
Which to Plan 5'10
Year Program
Preparatory to the 5-10 year
organized farm program, the mass
meeting to be held here at the
courthouse Saturday afternoon,
January 30, to lay facts and fig
ures of Transylvania county’s pro
duction and needs in the farming
industry before the people of the
county at large, a survey of con
ditions to be presented got under
way this week.
The survey is being carried on
by the members of the advisory
committee who are working with
Julian A. Glazener, as chairman,
of the project in the county, and,
in line with an announcemen-fc
made recently by Mr. Glazener,
the members of the class in voca
tional agriculture, in their capac
ity as members of the local unit
of Future Farmers of America
are assisting this work in the sev
eral districts in the county where
they live.
A house to house survey is be
ing made throughout the county
with its basis a questionnaire
which Mr. Glazener mailed out
early this week. The compilation
of data from these questionnaires
will show the precise amount o.f
all products shipped into the coun
ty that could be provided at home;
the amount of farm products sold
during the past 12 months; the
amount of livestock and poultry
now held in the county, and tho
preference of individual farmers
with regard to the growing of
money crops,-4ind the strains of
corn, potatoes and rye grown,
among’ other things.
A marketing committee, of
which the chairmanship is held by
Jerry Jerome, will take a portioii *
of this data for the basis on which
established markets will be sought
for the surplus of crops and prod
ucts to be produced under tho
5-10 farm plan.
Among other items that Mr.
Glazener points to, citing the need
for a definite scheme of organiza
tion and production, is data in his
office bearing on the last agi’icui-
tui-al census. This shows the fol
lowing livestock in the county for
the years 1930 and 1920, the clas
sification of the stock, the first
year and the second year men
tioned following in order:
Horses, 332; 660.
Mules, 236; 376.
Cattle. 2,653; 4,378. ' •
Milk cows, 1,121; 1,274.
Hogs. 1,313 ; 4,066.
Chickens, 19,595; 22,875.
Mr. Glazener points to the fact
that there are three-fourths few
er hogs in the county now than
there were ten years ago, and to
the fact that people who could
raise pork are paying out money
for it.
There are practically half the
number of beef cattle in the coun
ty at this time, compared with tbn
years ago.
The meeting preparatory to the
survey, and the last general meet
ing likely to be held before thi*
mass gathering of January 30,
was held at the home of Mrs.
Bates Patton at Davidson River,
last Saturday afternoon, and im
portant steps in the organization,
were taken at that time. These
woi'e in the selection of J. F. Cor
bin as vice-chairman, Jerry Je
rome as secretary of the men’s
group, and the election of Mrs.
Sam McCullough as vice-chair
man. and Mrs. Clarisia Williams
as secretary of the Woman’s Aux
iliary, Mrs. Patton having been
named as chairman of the wom
en’s department of this work.
The woman’s auxiliary, which
with the aid of the school children
is making the survey, bespeaks
the co-operation of all the people
toward making this basic work in
the 5-10 farm plan a success in
Transylvania county.

W. F. Hart is devoting his en
