Public Asked To Take Them
To Grocery Stores. Bottl
ers Will Pick ’em Up
With the bottling companies
making collections, a renewed
drive to collect tin cans in Bre
vard and Transylvania county will
be started on April 15, Howard
Wyatt announces .
L. C. Wilson, of the state gen
eral salvage committee, was here
last Saturday making plans for
the drive.
All housewives in Brevard and
the county are asked to flatten
out all tin cans, put them in card
board boxes and take the boxes to
the grocery stores. From these
points, the bottling company
trucks will pick up the cans.
All persons are cautioned not to
turn in tin cans with scrap metal
collections, and the collection of
the cans via garage collection is
being discontinued for the time
being.
The bottlers are interested in
this campaign because much of
their future cap supply is obtain
ed through tin can salvage.

BUYERS OF FARMS
THRU FSA MAKING
PAYMENT RECORDS
Most of Them Are Re-Pay
ing Faster Than Mini
mum Requirements
Former tenants and sharecrop
pers, buying farms under the
Bankhead - Jones Farm Tenant
Act, are paying well ahead of
schedule on their loans. Taking
advantage of the “variable” pay
ment plan, the 1605 “farm Owner
shop” borrowers in this state in
1942, repaid 205 per cent of the
amount they owed under their
purchase agreements, according
to figures compiled by the Farm
Security Administration and re
leased here by Ralph L. Smith,
county supervisor.
These new home owners repaid
$648,932 on their farms last year,
compared with only $315,602 due
under the 40-year amortization
schedule covered by their con
tracts. 124 of the new owners
paid $1000 or more each on their
farms.
The variable payment plan, in
corporated by Congress in its en
actment of the Bankhead-Jones
Act in 1937, is a new idea in loans

for land purchase. It enables the
borrower families to pay a great
er amount than due in good crop
years, stowing away an advantage
against possible lean years. For
instance, the average payment due
per family in this state was only
$196.00. Yet, the families in this
state paid an average of $404.00.
These families not only showed
initiative in making payments on
their farms—they also made sub
stantial increases in the produc
tion of war-essential crops and
livestock, it is stated.
Men 38 To 45 Must Be In
Essential Work Or Face
Induction May 1
Washington — Selective service
headquarters have announced
what amounted to a work-or-fight
order for all draft registrants, in
cluding 4-F’s and men 38 through
44.
In a lengthy communication to
local draft boards, selective serv
ice outlined steps designed to ex
pedite the “back to the farm”
movement promulgated by Presi
dent Roosevelt.
At the same time, selective ser
vice informed the nation that not
even men heretofore deferred for
physical disabilities or men in
the 38-through-44 age group would
be absolved from liability to mili
tary service unless they are per
forming essential work or have
taken steps to get into essential
jobs by May 1.
These and other developments
have led to widespread belief that
the top draft age may be put back
