vises Planting For Grazing
Purposes.
With Person County feed crops
having been damaged recently by
feather conditions, Claude T. Hall,
Chairman, Person County AAA
Committee, urges farmers to seed
additional acreages to wheat, oats,
barley, and rye for grazing next
spring.
"An increase in the seeding df
small grains for pasture purposes
will aid materially in supplementing
feed and hay for the production of
livestock and dairy products,” he
said.
Mr. Hall stressed the importance
of adequate fertilization to insure
better stands. He pointed out that
establishing a satisfactory winter
cover from seedings of these grains,
made this fall, had been approved
as one of the twenty-four practices
under the 1946 Agricultural Con
servation Program.
"To qualify for the practice pay
ment of $1.50 per acre, the crops
may be grazed or turned, but not
harvested for grain or hay,” he add
ed.

Person Women
Democrats Plan
! Party Finances
Will Take Part In National
Day By Raising Precinct
Funds.
Person County and Roxboro wo
men who are affiliated with the
Democratic party are making plans
for the observation here Thursday
of Democratic Women’s day, which
j will be marked by a nation-wide
j program, according to Mrs. A. F.
| Nichols, of this City, vice chairman
of the Person Democratic Executive
j committee.
j Included in plans for the day is
1 the raising of precinct funds by the
! women. Goal for the fund is three
'dollars per precinct, with one dollar
j going to the County fund, one to the
j State organization and one to the
i national party treasury. Person
County last year oversubscribed its
quota and is expected to do so again,
according to Mrs. Nichols, who said
there are seventeen precincts in this
county.
Democratic Women’s day was first
established in 1939, at the suggestion
of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and is
generally observed on September 27,
commemorating the date on which
the Democratic National committee
in 1919 voted to admit women to
party membership, virtually a year
prior to ratification of the Constitu
tional amendment giving the fran
chise to women.
Planned for the day this year, on
Thursday, October 25, will be a coast
to coast radio broadcast of addresses
by four women representatives in
I Congress, Mrs. Mary T. Norton, Mrs.
Chase Going Woodhouse, Mrs. Emily
T. Douglas and Mrs. Helen Gahag
an Douglas. Time will be 4:30 tc
4:45 in the afternoon and introduc
tion of the speakers will be by Mrs.
C. W. Tillette, Jr., of Charlotte, vice
chairman of the National Demo
cratic executive committee.
Particular interest for North Car
olina women is attached likewise to
the appearance on the program of
Mrs. Woodhouse, now of Conneti
cut, but formerly a resident of
Greensboro and Chapel Hill.

Butter Prices
To Advance
In November
Official news that the retail ceil
ing price of butter was to advance
five or six cents a pound caused
quite a bit of talk in Roxboro and
Person County as does all rationing
and price news. The new price will
go into effect Nov. Bth.
Reconversion Director John W.
Snyder directed the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to remove the
live-cents-a-pound government sub
sidy and authorized the OPA to
make compensating increases in re
tail butter prices.
The RFC said that subsidy pay
ments to butter manufacturers
| would end Oct. 31. OPA announced
that the retail price increase would
be five or six cents a pound, but
would not go into effect until Nov.
8. Creameries and wholesalers will
be permitted to add the Increase to
their ceiling price Oct. 31.
Removal of the butter subsidy is
the first step in a broad Govern
ment program to end all food sub
sidies. On Aug. 8, President Tru
man called for relaxation wherever
possible of controls over prices,
wages, materials, and facilities.

Very Little Coal Now On Hand Anc
Little Expected For Sixty Days
Be very conservative with your
coal this winter is the advice that !
coal dealers are giving to the peopl
{of this city and county today. A
survey of the local dealers stocks
i Saturday revealed the fact that there '
j is scarcely any coal in the yards ex- !
; cept a little slack 01 stoker coal.
The dealers further’revealed that
expected very little help until after
November loth or later.
One dealer stated that he had ap- j
proximately 150 families in this city
that had no coal on hand and that j
he did not know when he was going
to be able to get them any. The oth
er dealer said that he had more than
75 families with no coal.
It was further pointed out that 1
there is no rationing of coal to the I
consumer but that the dealers them
selves were getting an allotment, or

-■ Alo+uj *llte Way
The war is over. Things are changing but some are changing
more rapidly than others. The other day I went to my favorite bank
to pay the interest on a note. Mind you I said the interest. Not the
amount. After the officials pushed die hard and finally decided
j that I couldn't pay anything but tl>e interest they became very
warm and nice. As a matter of fact they leaned over backwards
to help me.
David Brooks gave me a fresh pack of cigarettes, a whole pack
and Gordon Hunter knocked off a nickie from the interest. I guess
he Just didn't have the right change handy. As for David I think
l that he had decided to stop smoking this particular brand of cigs
and was hunting for someone who f.’puld take them.
P. S. I took the nickle and also tjpife cigarettes.
HOME FIRST, ABROAD NEXT
MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1945
1 Supposed to get one, and that even
; though thro is no rationing they
just do not have the supply. Their
allotment is not enough and they
, can t get all of this. As a matter of
1 ! fact not over 80 percent of the people
j signed up for coal and those who
‘ did not sign have to have coal too.
Many soldiers have just come to this
country for the first time in yeais
: and they have to have coal as much
so as anyone.
| One suggestion that has been
[ made is that a responsible party of
I several people from here be sent to
see the district fuel administrator
in behalf of this county. Thu situa
tion might then be relieved,
i As an overall survey one might
say that people who use coal and do
j not have any are in for a fairly
tough time unless relief is forth
coming very soon.

I Four points which have helped
Masonry to serve through the centu-j

Hotel Roxboro by Dr. H. M. Poteat,. i
jof the Wake Forest college faculty
tand leader in Masonry in North !
! Carolina, who was guest speaker for j
the annual ladies night of Person
■ Lodge 113.
Covers were laid for 131 Masons,
! their wives and special guests, in
i' eluding wives of deceased members 1
of the Lodge. Toastmaster was J.
! Edward Allen, of Warrehton.
I Dr. Poteat mentioned first as a
cornerstone in Masonry a continuing
faith in the diety, without regard l
,to various isms of manifestation.
| Connected with this faith has been
■for all Masong a faith in immortali
ty. Likewise important in Masonry
I has been continued support of the
aspirations of life towards higher
goals.
Finally, according to Dr. Poteat.
I there is Masonry's stressing of char
; acter in man's relationship with
1 man. All of these cardinal points,
i asserted Dr. Poteat, have been found
in mankind's religions through the
ages and have had tlieir best and
most loyal support from Masons,
both in and out of Lodges.

Shot Gun Shells
Short, But Why?
Shotgun shells for hunting are
short here, all dealers agree, but:
! hope for relief in the next few weeks
' on the basis of War Department de
clarations of a more plentiful civil
ian supply coming, a survey of the !
[situation showed here today. One
j firm had fifty cases ordered ninety
j days ago. They are not here yet.
Another house has received a case
! and a half in the last three months,
! while a third has gotten a few cases
every few weeks.
All dealers hope for relief soon
and have no alternative but to at- j
1 tribut the shot shortage to distfibu- |
! ion problems connected with .supply
ing the whole U. S. A. and its avid
hunters.

to the 1945 seal which features u j
healthy young boy, symbol ol Amer

wreath toward a white hoaae with
a picket fence in the background.
A red double-barred cross, emblem

points Col. Strickland had a series
of from five to six large-scale maps
suspended on the walls of the hotel
