Society Editor Business Olfit-e . .... 50C .... 6lC 61C Three Months 1.50 On the Credit Side One hears much luiK auout the smut tobacco crop and the smaller income the county will receive from its sale this year, and on the basis of that, recurring tears and com plaints of living difficulties that may lolluw in its wake. But an analysis of the situation might be helpf d in throwir.g otf some of this despondency. On the debit >:de is the small crop, and that is the ».;ei and about all the debit there is. On the credit >ide of the ledger are many h«-petal a.-pects of conditions lor this fall season. Tobacco prices thus far are appr >v atelv one-third higher. The very tac" that tne crop is smaller means thai it has been produced at le^s expense of time, effort and cash outlay. There is. too. a considerably larger cotton crop, the best in quality the county has had in years, and the price is equally as i-o;»d as a year ago There is increased, one might say double, the employment in the automobile industry here. The cotton mills are running practically full time, as are the bagging mill and the tobacco fac tories. The same is true of the Hour ancl feed mill, and other in dustrial enterprises. Living costs are as yet virtually no higher than a year ago. All of these activities mean payrolls and incomes. They offer jobs for idle hands and steady wages for some time to come. Last year thirty million pounds, roughly speaking, of tobacco were sold on the Henderson market. In round figures. S4.500.00U was paid for it. Last year about 3.000 bales ot cotton were sold here for around S50 a bale, or about SI50.000. This yeaf. assuming the yield is two-thirds that of last year, the tobacco crop would amount to some 18 to 2<» mil lion pounds .-old locally. At twenty cents a pound, that would be close to S4.000.000, which is only 12 to 15 percent under a year ago in the total reckoning. It mast be ac counted. of course, that the price may not he quite twenty cents for the crop as a whole, and total sales may be a shade unler these esti mates. These values, however, can be entered on the credit side of the ledger. They are assets. It is true enough last year was nothing to boast of. but this year, by compari son, should be just about as good. Another credit entry that should be taken into account, too. is that feed crops, particularly hay, have been grown in larger quantities than in many years in this county, and money will not have to be pent for these needs in the same proportion as hitherto. Then, as has been said, there is the reduced cost of making this year's crops. As the national defense program picks up momentum there will be more jobs and more money in cir culation. While we do not possess war industries in this locality, such vast sums of money can hardly be expended without the whole country sharing in some measure. When the war is ended there will likely be repercussions as there were in the wake of the last war. Economic adjustments will be neces sary, of course. But there is no in dication of peace at an early date, as regrettable as that may be. So that our immediate concern is tlv pp'-tnt. It is for us to make t."ie mort <.[ what we have in hand, and in that respect th*. :•*> is an abun dance for which to gi.'1 thanks, anc f.: fu ip n.ii ictrn noT-.n.:. r, v l-'i.r iht- present at least then would ' i t 'll to be iniiL'li more t»>i consideraturn *«n llit' credit ride u the book th;.n in the debit column High School Clubs I In the "Others' Views" depart ment on this page is a communica tion bv Prof. W.

He writes ti clarify the situation by way of com ment on some observations in this column a few days ago. Prof. Payne writes favorably ol the activities and purposes of tin myriad organizations that have -Pi ling up at the school in late years He undertakes to justify Ihem a* valuable adjuncts of school life, and they may be. It depends on the view point. The system is a new departure from former times, but that in itself i- no argument against it. The only standard lor proper measurement is as to whether clubs and societies fill a real need, whether they broaden tne horizon of students in preparation for a chosen career, or bridge saps lett in regular scholastic curricula. Whether they earn credits toward graduation is not a matter of def inite knowledge with us. With a few exceptions, we doubt if they add to a -indent s equipment 'for college entrance. j Our previous comment was not in ■ tended as any sort of carping cri I ticism. but was motivated by what ; appears to be a movement carried -o I unnecessary extremes, some ot' its I reaches seemingly contributing little i . r nothing to the essential training j hi an adolescent child. It would be I more natural to assume that a boy's I inclination toward electrical work would be aided in larger measure by hi-- science co-irse rather than by a particular club. What is to be gained | in the way < i equipment for a career in photography by belonging to a high school society we cannot say. Membership in the band or orchestra, however, might easily lead a boy into music as a profession. A few organizations should not . ;rni>h exce-.-ive distraction from re gular studies. but twenty-odd dif ferent clubs and societies in one high school is a super-abundance. If parents desire and approve the constantly increasing number of these units of extra-curricular ac-' tivity as part of the school work of their children, that js. of course, their affair. The more of them admitted. r.d the fewer a child affiliates with,' the more he or -he is likely to be come a wall flower among the stu-J dent body and the less the credit! rating in competition for honors an-! nounced at graduation time—honors j which, after all. add no great deal' to one's preparation for college or. the problems of after life. PROF. PAYNE EXPLAINS HIGII I SCHOOL CLUBS To The Editor: Your editorial entitled "Clubs of, Learning" raises a question that eon- ; cern.s every parent oL' the Henderson i high school, and I believe that our i parents would like to have more! complete information about this pro- j gram here. A few years ago he had no pro vision for clubs to meet during the j scheduled school day. Clubs had to | meet after school hours and ire- j quently met at night either at the ! school or in one of the homes of the members. This situation led to so many conflicts of meeting dates arid frequently we found certain pupils ; that were joining live or six clubs | each year. As our iacuity here con- J side od this situation we felt that .i | better solution should be worked j out. This led to the provision in the I daily schedule for an "Activity per- I iod. This is the period at which clubs ! meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays. { This fall a few days after school i opened the entire student body of I the high school met in the auditorium to consider the question of clubs] here. As their principal 1 offered the student body the privilege of voting j to eliminate the club period Irom our 'schedule. The student body entered into a very careful and interesting .discussion period: which' was pre sided over by Julia Zollicoffer, pres ident of the Student Body. , After much discussion of the club | program here in the past few years, i and its value to the school and our ..-Indents, the student body was per mitted to vote on the question of (whether or not we should continue to have a Club Period in our regular I weekly program. The student body j voted almost unanimously by ac clamation to continue the arrange ment of past years and provide for a time each wee!; for clubs to meet during the school day. j On Wednesday. October 1(>. several 'dozen mothers attended the regular October meeting of the P.-T. A. here in the library. They had asked me to spea': to them, and quite Oy chance I chose the topic: "The Club Pro gram in Uendfivon lliyh School." After explaining the present pro gram, the mothers were given a chance to ask questions about the purpose of our ciub schedule. These jtn.ihers voted unanimously in favor ■ i the present arrangement and urg ed us to continue the plan. You will observe that we have (eleven clubs which meet on Tuesday |and nine which meet on Thursday. Since all Tuesday clubs meet at ex actly the same time it is impossible ir.v student to belong to more . in.hi one Tuesday club. It is the same i situation with the Thursday clubs and no student can belong to inure i than one Thursday club, i in tormer years our band had to nu'ct at night. This is no longer I necessary as the band now has .• 'period every day to have their re hear al periods. Our glee clubs used jtn he torced to meet at night or ■ alter school, and this took the glee I ( lull inetnbers away from home one or two nights each week. Under the present arrangement the glee clubs 1 meet at the regular club period once i each week. This arrangement elimi nates the necessity of asking mem ; |jer- to come lor rehearsals at night. ■ The fundamental principle behind ' our club program here is the idea of ••free choice on the part of the pupil". Mo pupil is required to join a club, iTin ^ tie joins •'» . j-tudents interested in the same thing, and this arrangement makes a fine learning situation. Many of jour club activities are definitely of >:in educational nature and the mem bers learned many very worthwhile things that would not come into our narrow and formal subject matter fields. Students find an outlet for their -pecial interests and aptitudes. Many • >! these students find lasting satis faction an enjoyment in Club work 1 happen to recall off-hand these students who are today earning tlieii living in fields that ihey cnterec because of their interest aroused from club membership while in higl I school: i 1.1). E. Evans is a commercial photographer. He started in a scienci club. 2 J- W. Partin has followed the ' same path. 3. Elvie Turner is a professional electrician. He began here in school in the science club. 4. Paul Patterson hopes to become a professional musician. He began his career here in the high school orchestra. I believe these illustrations could be multiplied many times if we could have the complete record of men and women who are now earn ing a living from some field of work that challenged them while in some high school club. You will find attached a complete schedule of the present club arrange ment in the high school. I would like to invite every high school par ent to study the plan and then let me know how they feel about the question of clubs here. The faculty of the Henderson high school will gladly abolish the club period if and when a majority of the high school parents prefer that we do this. The high school of Hen derson belongs to parents and tax payers and the faculty here greatly desires to run the kind of schools that our citizens want. We invito comments both favorable and un favorable at any time. Only in this way can we know the desire of our oeople. W. D. PAYNE. Henderson. October 17. 2940.

S. and North Carolina Departments of Agriculture revealed in the weekly market news service review. The index of wholesale feedstuff prices advanced over 3 points to 107.1 compared with 104.0 for the previous week and 110.5 for the cor responding week last eyar. Wheat feed prices advanced about a SI per ton with a more active inquiry for the lighter offerings and decreas ed production. High protein concen trates were firm and slightly high er. The principal advance being in cotton seed meal. Corn feeds advanc ed slightly with bluten feed up 30 cents per ton and hominy feeds un changed to 50 cents per ton higher. Very few lots of old crop farmer's stock Virginia type peanuts now re main unsold in North Carolina and Virginia. There will be a small car ry-over in the hands of growers of stock which farmers continue to hold for higher prices, but neither specu lators nor cleaners have any appreci able volume of stocks. Nominal prices range from 3.40 to 3.G5 cnets per pound for best jumbos and 3 1-3 to | J 3-40 cents per pound for best bunch, j Meanwhile, digging of the new crop ) has been heavy during the past week, j If the weather continues favorable I half of the crop may be dug by the ! end of the present week. Snap-beans were in heavy receipt 1 pn the New York wholesale fruit j j and vegetable market during the j I past week and North Carolina ooun- ! til"uls declined from 25 to 50 cents per bushel. Shipments from the northeastern part of the slate closed at 75 cents to 1.00 a bushel in con trast to 100 to 1.50 last week. Porto Kican sweet potatoes lost a little price ground early in the period out bounded back to close steady in New York at 1.00 to 1.25 a bushel. Production of creamery butter is showing the effects of the record rate oi milk production. Instead oL' j registering a seasonal decline for the week ending October 10, produc tion was practically unchanged from that of the preceding week, and corn ipared with the corresponding week of last year, was 11 percent higher. Paying prices ol candled and grad ed U. S. extra large eggs advanced 1 cent per dozen to 32 and 34 cents in the Raleigh area this week. Other grades of eggs and live poultry, how ever were unchanged from a week ago. In Chicago, as a whole the fed steer and yearling market was an active affair during the week in spite of potential interruption or normal activities by Jewish holidays, i Liberal supplies Monday suggested lower prices and resulted in modifi ed action on shipper and order buy ing account, the trade developed along steady lines with later sessions decidedly active and generally work ing into higher price ground. Fed steers grading strictly good and bet ter advanced 25 cents and carried! most other killing classes along in a : sympathetic advance.

UNC Enrollment Hits New Record Chapel Hill. Oct. 19.—Student I enrollment at the University oil North Carolina at Chapel Hill has ■ almost trebled in the last 20 years, i according to a complete report for the fall term, released today by I. C. J Griffin, • director of the Central Records Office. Associate Registrar Ben Husbands dug into his files and found that the enrollment for the fall of 1920. two decades ago, was 1,420, and that for the fall of 1930 it was 3.017. The final count for this fall was 4.095, representing a new record and an increase of around 250 over last year. A total of 2.630 or almost two thirds of the students served by the University come from North Caro lina. However, the others were scat tered over 44 stales and several for eign countries, showing how widely the University's reputation and in fluence have spread.
