Volume 58. FIGHT IN CONGRESS FOR FARM RELIEF Sixty .Million Dollars Loan Fund Kill Has Passed the Senate— The Hoover Administration Opposes It. But Is Willing to Grant $25,000,000. It is no doubt interesting to the farmers of Stokes and oth er counties who are suffering with the effects of the terrible drought of 1930, to read that the federal congress is battling for their relief. Thousands of farmers will not only be unable to make an other crop without help, but cannot go through a long and possibly severe winter unless measures of help are provided. Many of them are without suf ficient food for themselves and their stock, having experienced almost a total crop failure. It is not believed the Stokes to bacco crop will average over five or six cents. This means the growers cannot pay their taxes, or furnish even the most meager comforts for* their families. A bill is now before Congress appropriating $60,000,000 to be used as aid to farmers. This bill has already passed the Senate, but in the House has been temporarily side tracked. The administration is opposed to a fund larger than $25,000,- 000. Led by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, an unyielding fight is being made for the full 60 millions, many members de claring this fund insufficient, and going on record for SIOO,- 000,000 aid, or even more. Out of this battle will be sure to emerge practical and saving relief for the farmers, who must have feed stuffs, seed and fertilizers if they grow another crop. Card From •• Rev. D. W.Allen v Editor Reporter: We have now a branch or ganization sponsored by the chapter of the Winston Salem Red Cross, to administer help to the Stokes county people who are in need. This organ iaztion desires t° 'state- that any assistance which any oher organization wishes to tender our people, or any aid which any individuals may desire to render, may be made through the present existing organiza tion in the county. We hope in every communitv of the county may be formed committees who will collect donations of money, food or clothing which anyone desirei to give, and 1 that the same may be distributed through our ex isting organization. Thus by concentrating our \ efforts through this channel, we may avoid duplications, and reach the best results. D. W. ALLEN, Established 1872. ! DEATH OF SENATOR LEE S.

RESIDENCE USED FOR SCHOOL Instead of Using Church For School Pine Hall People Find Desirable Place At Roberts Home. Since the destruction of the Pine Hall school building by fire recently the school is being conducted in the residence of James Roberts, just across the river from Pine Hall, instead of in the churches, etc., as as was erroneously stated in our last paper. This informa tion was given us today by J. 11. Blackwell, one of Pine Hall's good citizens, who was here on business. It was ex pected at first that the church and other buildings would be used but Mr. Roberts kindly tendered the use cf six rooms in his large brick residence, making a very desirable tem porary school house. The Roberts home was formerly the old Archie Rob ertson homestead and is a pretty homestead, with nic> grounds, etc. Parent-Teacher Meeting Held The Parent-Teachers' Asso ciation met Monday afternoon in the school building immedia tely after school. A splendid program had been arranged along the lines of the approach ing Christmas season. Rev. F. E. Hartsfield had charge of the devotit nal period and after reading a chapter explained the gifts of the wise men which were brought to the infant Jesus and told Van Dykes story, "The Other Wise Man." Miss Taylor read O'Henry's story, "The Gift of the Magi.'' A piano sole-, "Christmas Bolls," by Miss Ragland con cluded the program. Mesdames W. G. Petree, .T. W. Hall and E. P. Pepper were appointed program committee for next month. Total Population Of 11 S. Now 122,775,046 Washington, Dec. 10.—The 1930 population of the United States is 122,775,046. This figure was announced a short time ago by the Census Bureati as the final of the com pilation it stated at the begin ning of the year. All revisions have been completed. The census report shows the number of inhabitants of the forty-eight states increased in the preceding decade by 17,- 064,420, or 16.1 per cent. The 1920 population was 105,- 710,620. In the column showing the percentage of increase by states was a key to several im portant trends of the past ten. years. Miss Mary Patterson, nurse of J. C. Lorman of London, was AUTOMOBILE TAGS BLACK ON YELLOW Present Taj>s Expire December —State Name Changed to Bottom. Large raised yellow figures emblazoned upon a background oti glossy black will be the color scheme of the new North Caro lina motor vehicle license plates. The new tags will go on sale in many towns over the entire state on December 15th. The 1930 tags will expire December 31. The new plates will be of a design different from the current tags. The present system of designing the horsepower of the motor vehicle by letters of the alpha bet will be supplanted next year by the figures 1, 2, 3 anil 4. These figures will appear in a small square in the center of the tag. The word "North Carolina—'3l" will appear at the bottom of the new tag in stead of at the tcp, as at pres ent. The tags will be distribu ted through the various bran ches of the Carolina Motor Club. The tags are being man ufacturej by inmates of State's prison at Raleigh. State offi cials have for the past few yeijrs manufactured the auto mobile plates in the prison at a saving of many thousands of dollars to the taxpayers of the State. Sale prices of the passenger car, motorcycles, and trailers will remain the same as this year, officials say. Passenger carsj with "A" classification will sell for S4O; "B" classification S3O; "C" classification, S2O; and "E" classification, $12.50. A graduated; scale of prices will be charged for trucks, depend- ing upon the capacity, horse power, type of tires used on the heavy trucks. Several proposed legislative bills are on the program of the American Motorist's associa tion. The proposals will be brought to the attention of members of State assemblies by the association. One of the major bills, which will bear the endorsement of the organi zation, is the universal licens ing of all automobile drivers.

It lcoks like the leaders 01 thf nation are at last awaken ing to the fact that the farm ers must have help if farming ,is saved in this country. 1 Senator Smith introduces a bill in Congress to protect farmers from foreclosures of their mortgages or deeds of trust to land banks until they 1 can make another crop. Senator Smith takes the view that the government has everything to lose and nothing to gain by expelling farmers from their lands. The lands ' are of value only when they are habitations of farmers. For the government to take them in is usuallv a step toward con l verting them into deserts. Senator Smith's bill will no doubt meet with a hearty re sponse in the hearts of thous ' amis of farmers who cannot meet their obligations to the land banks. It is said that the govern ment has foreclosed on about 40 million dollars worth of farm lands during the last few I years, mainly in the South.

The movement to bring Red Cross aid to the destitute and suffering, was further expand ed this week, when prominent Stokes county citizens were in conference with Red Cross of ficials from Winston-Salem and Charlotte. Thursday night at the Pres byterian church an informal discussion took place, attended iby a number of Danbury citi -1 zen.s, both ladies and gentle men, by Rev. Mr. Griffin, head of the Winston-Salem chapter of the Red Cross, and by Mrs. Fry, of Charlotte, who is one : of the directors of the Rej Cross Organization in the State. Others present were Re\. D. W. Allen and Paul Ful ton, of Walnut Cove, and Matt Simmons, of Lawsonville. A number of cases of ex treme need or suffering were reported t> Rev. Mr. Allen, who ' is chairman of the Stokes coun ty organization for providing relief to the suffering. The Rod Cross is able and willing to help our people, but all applications for relief must be investigated and authenti cated before practical assist ance will be rendered. In the discussions which took place it developed that there are several hundred cases of extreme need in the coun ty who cannot lie adequ ately taken care of by thd county at this t me owing to the failure in the crops togeth er with the bank trouble which hps tied up the available cash of practically everybody, in cluding the official funds of the county.
