A FULL PROGRAM
Cemetery, White Way Ex
tension and Other Mat
ters Due Monday
A busy program faces the Hender
son City Council for its regular
monthly meeting Monday evening,
and matters of interest to many of
the people ofthe community are
likely to come up and to be acted
upon.
A committee named a month ago to
work out a plan for operation of Elm
wood cemetery, now owned by the
city, is to report, and it is expected
the Council will take some definite
action in that regard. Federal funds
with which to proceed with the im
provement and enlargement of the
cemcteiy have already been allotted
under the WPA set-up, and are to be
made available as soon as the city
is ready to proceed.
Another question that may be de
cided is that pertaining to the exten
sion of the Garnett street white way
along Montgomery from Garnett
across the Seaboard Air Line railroad
main line track t t) William street.
Mayor Irvine B. Watkins has obtain
ed permission of the railroad for the
use of a few feet of its property abut
ting on Montgomery street for the
placing of light standards, and the
Carolina Power and Light Company
will probably be instructed to pro
ceed at once with the installation
work.
Other projects in connection with
Henderson’s program of progress for
the year may be discussed also at the
time.

A radio program was given over
the Durham Life Insurance Company
Station WPTF in Raleigh from 7 to
7:45 o’clock this morning, in which
publicity was given to Henderson.
Three Henderson men participated
in the program.
It was one of a series of Saturday
morning programs in which the Ra
leigh station is “saluting” towns and
cities of the State. In addition to
the talks, readers were given about
several Henderson business concerns.
Mayor Irvine B. Watkins spoke
first, giving certain data about the his
Lory of the city. The next talk was
by Henry A. Dennis, who touched on
the commercial activities of Hender
son. Later Clyde L. Finch gave his
well known impersonations of the
Amos ’n’ Andy radio characters, and
provided a text that was in the way
of boosting the Henderson commun
ity and its tobacco market.
J. B. Clark, former Henderson
young man, was the announcer, “J.

friends here, is a regular announcer
for WPTF and is heard daily from

BIG C'RIDSHERE
10 RALEIGH MEET
Tobacco Growers Determin
ed In Effort To Obtain
Higher Prices
Big crowds of farmers and some
business men who are also farmers
went to Raleigh today for the mass
meeting of tobacco growers in pro
test against Iq.V tobacco prices. They
were in a slightly optimistic mood
that possibly something could be
done for the improvement of prices
and were hopeful that this could be
brought about shortly.
Just wha: could or would be done
local growers did not know when
they left home. Resolutions adopted
here in the week following a mass
meeting proposed, however, that a to
bacco holiday be declared, that the
new sign-up be pressed as rapidly as
possible during the holiday, and that
;|e AAA in Washington make imme
diate announcement of next year’s
crop cut. It was also proposed that
the sale of allotment certificates by
growers with less than their quotas
to growers who produced surpluses
above their allotments be discontinu
ed for the remainder of this season.
Farmers in Vance and Warren
counties were among the few in the
tobacco belts of the State who held
mass meetings in protest against low
prices, and were instrumental in
bringing about the call for today’s
big mass meeting of growers in Ra
leigh.
