STOKES DROUTH
AID COMMITTEE
BODY OF LEADING CITIZENS
NAMED TO.. AID- IN BE
SHTTLEMENT WORK IN
MA COUNTY FARMERS
M % BB ASSISTED BY
•DYERNKHNT LOANS.
Due to the extreme drouth
conditions experienced by the
farmers during the past summer,
the Resettlement Administration
ia preparing to give aid to farm
families who suffered disastrous
loss of crops due to the drouth.
Tha Rockingham-Stokes County
Unit of the Resettlement Ad
ministration is being operated by
J. E. Cheves, County Supervisor;
Misa Lucy Booe, Home Supervi
sor; and Mrs. Mary W. Scurry,
Secretary. With this limited per
aonnel it is possible for all in
vestigations to be made by the
employees of the Resettlement
Administration and, due to that
fact, investigations and recom
mendations of a local committee
are being used as a basis for
rendering this aid wherever it
Is possible to secure the coopera
tion and help of such committee
upon whom the Resettlement Ad
ministration can depend to give
reliable and unbiased recom
mendations. Such 'committees are
being set up in the two counties
and some have already begun
functioning.
Other committees will be set
up as the needs of a community
become apparent. The interest
shown by these better citizens,
who compose the committee, has
so far been extremely gratifying.
Committees formed to date in
Stokes county consist of Mr. J.
E. Mitchell, Gerraanton, N. C., Rt.
Mr. Norman Slate, Walnut
Cove, N. C., Rt. 1; "Little John"
Neal, Walnut Cove, N. C., Rt. I;
Mr. W. G. Tuttle, Walnut Cov3,
N. C.; Mr. E. W. Carroll, Ger
manton, N. C.; Mr. George Barr,
King, N. C.; Mr. L. R. Pulliam,
King, N. C.; Mr. E. r> . Stoi -
Pinnacle, N. C.; Mr. R. C. White,
King, N. C.; Mr. W. A. Palmer,
King, N. C.; Mr. F. G. Smith.
King, N. C., Rt. 2; and Mr. P. O.
Frye, Pinnacle, N. C., RFD.
In addition to money being
supplied such people, in the form
of small grants, the Resettlement
Administration is now looking
forward to being able to offer
loans to farmers which is to be
used to purchase all necessary
equipment and subsistence needs
with which to make a crop next
* year; however. those people
qualifying for such loans must be
a good moral risk and give ns
security for such loans, any un
encumbered chattels which he
might possess and a first lien on
the crops to be produced.
Many of our local hunters
•pent Thanksgiving in the fields
hunting rabbits, with poor to
medium success.
