Clubwomen Urge Uniform Divorce ; Laws Be Enacted Hollywood, Fla., April 26—The General Federation of Women's Clubs today adopted a resolution j uiging Congress to enact uniform divorce laws. In the opening business session of the federation's 58th convention, the 2,000 clubwomen attending also adopted resolutions asking the abo lition of the electoral college and ap proved the work of the congressional qn-American activities committees. The divorce law resolution con tended that lack of uniform laws often has resulted in illegal divorces. In turn, this causes illegal remarri ages and illegitimacy of children with consequent breakdown of mor al standards and confusion of prop erty rights, the resolution said. The resolution seeks a constitu tional amendment giving Congress power to enact uniform marriage and divorce registration. A constitutional amendment which would abolish the electoral college in presidential and vice presidential elections also was asked. The resolu tion called for the division of the j electoral vote in each state in propo j tion to the popular vote. Such a ! change, the resolution said, would j more nearly reflect the will of the i people. | Earlier, Mrs. J. L. Blair Buck, general federation president, re ported that 1,800 women's clubs throughout the country already had entered the federation's "Build a Better Community" contest. In the last nine years the size of the flax crop in Texas has in creased from 18,000 to 220,000 acres.

Tank At Spruce Pine Fire Razes Big Fuel Spruce Pine—A blaze at the 15,000 gallon Standard Oil Com pany tank about 350 yards below the town bridge was brought under control early Friday afternoon, j The flames continued burning, ! however, sending a coiumn of black smoke over the Toe Kiver. Trouble started whei: an oil line leak poured fuel out into the river, according to Blaine C. Miller, plant manager. He said the blaze originat ed about a half mile downstream and ate its way rapidly back up the river and into the fuel tank. The Standard Oil property here is situated next door to the Spruce Pine Lumber Company plant and observers noted with relief that the wind was blowing steadily from the east—away from the lumberyard. Origin of the blaze, which started at about 8:15 a. m. Friday was un determined but officials said they presumed it started when a match or cigarette was tossed into the [stream. At 9:30 a. m. an engine from the Marion Fire Department was dis ■* patched to the scene.

Albritton, club president !and the state's 1948 corn growing 'champion, to do their part in the '"corn war" with Virginia. "For every member of the 100 ' Bushel Corn Club there are 160 jfarmers who have not been report led as growing 100 or more bushels ! of corn per acre," Albritton said, j "As a member of the 100 Bushel i Club, are you doing your part?" : The average farm in this state has i about nine acres of com, the Le : Grange farmer pointed out. If ev i ery farmer would allow the five steps to increase corn yields on one acre the state average should be raised five bushels for 1949. The five steps as worked out by specialists of the State College Ex tension Service and scientists of the Agricultural Experiment Station are: (1) Use seed of an adapted hy brid or a proved local variety; (2) {Fertilize according to the soil needs; (3) Space the rows and the plants in the rows the proper distance to get the desired yield; (4) Control weeds early but avoid late and deep cultivation; and (5) use adequate sidedressing. "We would not be interested in this contest if we did not know, from our own experience that high corn yields are economical yields." Albritton continued. "Every farmer who follows these approved practic es over a period of years will profit by his efforts. Will you, as a mem ber, sponsor as many neighbors as possible for membership in this club?" POTATOES The total amount paid directly to farmers for 1948 potatoes up to February 28 was $155,224,000, ex clusive of more than $25,000,000 which the Government had fco spend in diverting the surplus into bypro duct uses.
