Polling Places Chosen
For Crop Vote Saturday
Committees in Charge Also Named for Every
Township in County in Referenda on Tobacco
and Cotton Control for Next Year
piling places and committees to be
in charge of them for the tobacco and
cotton referenda next Saturday were
announced today by County Agent J.
V V Sanders, AAA director for the
county. There will be a polling place
in each of the nine townships of the
countv, and at each of them will be
three men in charge of the balloting.
Voting will be from 8 a, m. to 5 p.
nl . Separate ballots will be cast for
tobacco and cotton, and each will car
1V or fail without relation to the
other.
While most observers appear to
think the negative vote will be lar
ger than that of last spring, it is the
opinion of many that there will be
sufficient votes in favor of crop con
tiol for 1939 to carry both issues. In
order to prevail, two-thirds of those
actually voting must be favorable.
Polling places and the officials in
charge of each were announced today
I) PLATE SALES
ABOVE LAST YEAR
Over 20 Percent Increase
Comparel With Like
Period In 1937
Through Monday the fourth day of
the month since sales were - started, a
total of 512 sets of State automobile
license plates for 1939 had been 6old
by W. C. Cates, manager of the
branch office here of the Carolina
Motor Club, he re-ported today. In
cluded in the total were 439 sets of
automobile plates, 30 for trucks and
43 for trailers.
For the first four days of the sales
period in December, 1937, total sales
were 424, including 353 automobiles,
36 trucks and 35 trailers. Sales to date
for 1939 licenses are, therefore, more
than twenty percent ahead of the
comparative period a year ago.
The City of Henderson had sold 61
1939 city license plates up to today,
it was learned at the office of the
city clerk, where the plates are ob
tainable .
Business is picking up, but we don’t
know whether to credit President
Roosevelt, the recent election or the
weather.

Employment Office Issues
Call; Office Lists
Cut In Half
A further call for sales girls for
work during the holiday rush was is
sued today by 5. a. Cude, manager of
the local office of the North Caro
lina State Employment Service here.
At the same time, he announced that
more than half the cards in the active
file in the office for Vance county
had been cancelled because of failure
of appliants for work to renew their
registrations.
The employment office manager
said the openings for which workers
are sought have been on file for some
time and must be filled immediately
in order that the girls may receive
the necessary training before the
shopping rush gets under way in ear
nest. He explained that no sales ex
perience is required of applicants for
these jobs. High school graduates
over 18 years of age are given prefer
ence, although neither of these quali
fications is- an absolute requirement.
A good appearance and ability to meet,
the public are essentials, however. Ap
plicants need not necessarily be resi
dents of Henderson, it was stated.
The service encourages unemployed
persons to contact the office at least
once a month, but does not actually
remove the applicants from the active
file until they have failed to visit the
office for sixty days, Cude said. Re
moval from active file means that the
persons affected will not receive con
sideration for job 3 unless it is found
that the active file does not contain
qualified applicants. Cude further
pointed out that renewal may be made
by telephone, by mail or by personal
visit.

Good Gain In
Cotton Prices
New York, Dec. 6.—(AP)—Cotton
futures opened three to six points
higher on improved Biverpool cables,
trade and foreign buyiiYg. March re
covered from 8.17 to the opening high
of 8.20, leaving prices two to six points
net higher shortly after the first half
hour. March sold up to 823 by mid
day, when the market showed net ad
vances of seven to ten points.
Stock Market
Some Firmer
New York, Dec. 6.—(AP) — Buying
support returned to the stock mar
ket today, and gave pivotal issues a
lift of fractions to more than two
points. While dealings were none too
lively, they were considerably ahead
of yesterday’s slow motion session.
Bight profit-taking on the revival was
in eviderice, but prices were around
the best near the fourth hour.
Brokers attributed the upward re
versal partly to quick turn purchases
by speculative forces, who thought
the list, after four consecutive de
clines, was due for at least a tech
nical comeback. At the same time,
business news was fairly favorable,
and less attention apparently was
given the still confusing foreign pic
ture. Year-end tax selling remained a
retarding influence, it was said, but
this seemingly lacked the urgency of
the past week or so.
Bonds, like stocks, did better after
a hesitant get-away. Major commod
ities showed rising tendencies. Sterl
ing and the French franc dipped in
terms of the dollar, and European se
curities markets were spotty.

Thursday afternoon. Robin S. Kirby,
of Charlotte, is president, and E. M.
Garner is secretary, the general of
fices being in Charlotte.

convention at its opening session. All
day tomorrow, starting at 10 a. m.,
open house will be held for a public
showing of the manufacturers’ ex
hibits. An invitation is extended to
architects, contractors, public officials
and the public in general to inspect
these displays.
Home building will have a big place
in the Friday morning program, and
there will also be a discussion of the
new wage and hour law. Afternoon
will bring an address by A. O. Eber
hart, former governor of Minnesota,
at present special assistant to the
Federal Housing administrator in

attendance is anticipated.
