tional opportunities and possibilities
in Roxbdbo and surrounding terri
tory, Dr. Harold D. Meyer of Chapel
Hill, sociology professor at the Uni
versity of North’Carolina and chair
man of the North Carolina Recrea
tion Commission, will speak here at
a joint meeting of civic clubs to be
held on Friday evening, April 5, at

The Person County Council of So
cial Agencies, whose members have
been studying recreation for the
past several months, will meet joint
ly with the Exchange, Kiwanis, Ro
tary, and Business and Professional
Women’s clubs of Roxboro. It is ex

problems and opportunities, will have
a timely and interesting message
for his local audience.

who said present local recreation
facilities include motion pictures,
pool rooms, skating, softball, golf,
fishimg, public dances, hunting, the
Kiwanis Horse Show, and aviation.
Mr. Woods said softball games
represent one of the most whole
some types of reereation, as well as
one* oi trie most interesting. About
ten teams, with 15 players on the
squad of each team, participate in
this sport each summer, and they
should be given all possible en
couragement, the speaker declared.
Aviation is one of the fastest grow
ing forms of recreation in the Coun

five planes at Roxboro Airport, and
five more expected there soon, there
are about 50 student fliers, includ
ing eight girls, now taking part in
aviation activities in the County.
Already there are 15 licensed fliers,
and five more will receive license

possibilities were listed by Mr. Woods
as: public swimming pool, park, ten
nis courts, bowling alley, riding club,
YMCA and YWCA, night clob, plays,
and orchestras.

305-day production record last year
of* 10,992 pounds of milk and 657
pounds of butterfat.
In one month last year Ann’s test
record showed 103 pounds of but

Club, incredulous, called for a re
test. The very next month the Ca-

club officials that the high mark
was no fluke.
Both sociologists and dairymen
say that “breeding will tell” and

Reynolds Offer
Announcement in Raleigh, Mon
day night that the Smith Reynolds
Foundation had offered Wake Forest
College up to 40 million dollars if
the College would move to Winston-
Salem, was received with a great
deal of interest by Baptists and
other friends of the College in Per

The College Board of Trustees,

estate near Winston-Salem; eight
million dollars for construction at
the new site; an endowment of eight
million dollars; and the prospect of
a greatly enlarged endowment which
would give the college an income of
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The total amount of the gift was
estimated at between 25 and 40 mil
lion dollars.
Final action on the offer will be
taken by the Baptist State Conven
tion at its 1946 session next

Agent Gives Plans
For April Meetings
By EVELYN CALDWELL
• Home Demonstration Agent
“Proper Care and Cleaning of the
Sewing Machine” will be the theme
used in each of the 12 home demon
stration clubs during the month of
April. Making, Making over, and
mending are three big peacetime
as well as wartime jobs; and a sew
ing machine in good running con
dition can help do all three. It
thus helps the family pratice the
conservation and thrift so essential
at this time.
All well-made sewing machines,
new or old, used constantly or idle,
can be made to run easily and sow
perfectly. Occasionally parts may
need replacing; but a machine will
seldom wear out, if periodically
cleaned, olltkl and adjusted.
The purpose of a demonstration
of this type is to give the home
maker the necessary information
that will enable her to do this pe
riodic cleaning that will help to
keep her machine in good running
order.
Project leaders were selected in
January by club members to give
this demonstration at the regular
club hour in April. A training

TO SPEAK HERE—Dr. Harold

and sociology professor at the
University of North Carolina, will
speak here at 6:30 Friday night,
April 5, at a joint meeting of Rox
boro civic clubs.
Farming Outlook
In State Is Dull
Raleigh—A shortage in farm
workers, unless alleviated by July 1,
will cause production losses in every
crop produced in the State this
year, with heaviet toll in fruit and
vegetable area around Henderon
ville.
That was the conclusion reached
by a State farm labor advisory
committee at its first meting with
its acting chairman, Dr. I. O.
Schaub, director of the N. C. State
College Extension Service.
“We believe," a ommittee spokes
man said, “there is sufficient labor
in every farming section except
Hendersonville, but most of these
unskilled workers have elected to
accept, .unemployment pay rather
tnan work on the farm".
Indications are, it was said, that
tobacco growers will plant all of
the 10 per cent increase authorized
for the 1946 flue-cured crop but
the dearth of labor will cause losses
“even if the weather at harvest
time is most favorable." Leaf grow
ers need workers most during the
July 1-Sept. 20 period.

Atom Bomb Tests
Are Postponed
For Six Weeks
Washington— President Trumans
has ordered a six-week’s post pone
ment of the atomic bomb test
against warships originally sche
duled for May 15 at Bikini atoll.
The delicate international situation
was said to be a major factor in the
surprise decision.
The May 15 test, in which an
atomic bomb was to have been ex
ploded some 1200 feet above a
Guinea pig fleet of 100 United
States and enemy ships, now will
be held July 1. It probably will be;
combined with a second test ori
ginal scheduled for July 1 when
an atomic bomb was to have been
exploded at the surface.
Truman’s order was transmitted
by telephone to Vice Adm, W. H. P.
Blandy, commander of the joint
army-navy task force charged with
conducting the vast erperiment.
Notice went out to all key offici
als involved in the test, including
Maj. Gen. Leslie R. Groves, head
of the so-called Manhattan district
project which developed the atomic
bombs that were dropped on Hiro
shima and Nagasaki.
Though it came as a somplete
surprise to army and navy officials,
the decision was reached by Tru
man only after lengthy and exhau
stive consultations among top-level
officials throughout the government.
Significantly, the postponement
was ordered only three days before
the opening of the united nations
security council meeting at New
York Monday.
: The current world crisis, epitoin
| ized by the Russian-Iranian dispute,
was said to have been the determin
ing factor. Truman was understood
to have felt that such a test mi-,ht
have a bad effect on already deli
cate international relations.
He is said to feel that the post
ponement will have a reassuring ef
fect on the New York meeting.
Only Wednesday, a Moscow
broadcast accused the United States
of “brandishing the atomic weapon
for purposes which have little in
! common with the peace and security
of nations.” It referred directly to
the atomic tests on naval vessels.
Some members of Congress also
have criticized plans to hold tests
on grounds they would serve no
useful purpose in the task of try
ing to achieve permanent peace.
When the tests originally were
announced last January, there was
considerable debate whether for
eign observers should be invited.
Plans Were being made to invite
members of the united nations a
tomic energy commission, but no
final decision had been made.

urer of Stokes couhty, where he is
reputed to have a strong follow
ing, said that he could not comment
on the Folger announcement pend
ing conference with “my folks."
He would not say definitely wheth
er he planned to continue in the
race or to follow the Watt example.
Harris, Winston-Salem lawyer,
said the Folger statement “doesn’t
affect me in the least. I will con
tinue in the race.”
Chatham has never wavered pub
licly since he announced his inten
tion to seek the nomination during
the closing days of the filing period.
Chatham’s announcement followed
by one day a statement by Folger
to the effect that he was consider
ing withdrawing if contest develop

Permanent State
Fair Is Planned
Dr. J. S. Dorton, head of the
North Carolina Fair, said recently
he was confident that the long
range planning program for expan
sion of the fair into a $3,000,000
permanent State exposition would
be carried through to a successful
completion.
“I’m not going to rest until the
exposition is a reality,” Dorton said.
“It’s a chance for North. Carolina
to really have something big, some
thing progressive, and I’m deter
mined to do everything possible to
see that it’s completed.”
Dorton said a government grant
had already been requested for
$40,000 to perfect the plans for the
mammoth exposition. The money
would be refunded after the work
was completed.
"We’re going ahead with plans
to make the fair this year the big
gest and best we’ve ever had,” he
added, “but we have our eyes on
the future exposition."
Dorton estimated that it would
take from three to five years to
build the permanent State expo
sition, which would be open all
year to the public.
“It would be more or less like a
museum," he explained, "where ex-

Optimistic About
Grid Prospects
North Carolina State College
alumni, meeting with the Roxboro
Exchange club at the Recreation
Center last night, heard a talk by
Head Football Coach Beattie Feath
ers on prospects for the State foot
ball team in 1946, which he said
were good. The team next fall.
Feathers said, will be up to the pre
war level, and the 1947 team will be
even better.
Col. J. W. Karrelson, chancellor Os
State College, introduced the speak
■er, who, after his talk, showed
movies of last year's State-Wake
Forest football game.
At a later business session of the
alumni association. Col. Harrelson
discussed building needs for the col
lege. Newspapers, he said, have play
ed up the dormitory shortage at
.State, but additional classrooms and
teaching facilities are needed just as
badly as rooms. To illustrate this
fact, he said classes are now held
in some buildings from 8 in the
morning to 8 at night.
Bill Bland, Joe Adair, Bill Daven
i port, Miss Lura Penny, and Elbert
Moore became new members of the
alumni club, of which L. C. Liles is
president and C. C. Jackson, secre
tary.
Also present at the meeting last

and North Carolinians to see. Os
course, we would have a period each
year during which midway and
shows would add to the festivities.”
The eposition as visioned by
Dorton, would include a mammoth
memorial coliseum, amphitheatre,
exhibit buildings and other struc
tures. including a hall of fame in
which could be placed portraits and
brief histories of Tar Heel heroes
who died in World War 11.
It is estimated that the exposi
tion would cost $3,000,000, but Dor
ton said that many of the exhibit
buildings would be/ built by indus
trial concerns themselves for use
in displaying their products.
Dorton said no other state had
launched such a permanent fair,
and that North Carolina would be
a first in this respect if it could
materialize.
He said he had talked" with nu
merous farmers, 'agriculture organ

are in favor of building the year

NUMBER 33
Will He Open Six Days X
Week; Assistant State Serv
ice Officer Here.
Robert Whitten, World War It
veteran and newly elected Veterans’
Service officer for Person County,
announced today that he will open
his office in the basement of tha
Courthouse on Monday, April 1, at
B,a. m.
Beginning on that date, Mr. Whitt
en said, the office will be open six
days a week, from 8:30 to 12 in tha
morning and 1 to 5 in the afternoon.
AH honorably discrarged veterans
are entitled to information and as
sistance at the office, and they
should feel free to come in and ask
for it.
Mr. Whitten, who has recently re
turned from Winston-Salem, where
he spent three days conferring with
officials of the regional Veterans
Administration office, says initial
purchase of office equipment and
supplies has been completed, except
for a typewriter, which cannot ba
found. Any person willing to sell,
rent or lend a typewriter to the serv
ice officer is asked to contact Mr.
Whitten.
Charles A. Beddingfield, assistant
State Service office? of the North *
Carolina Veterans Commission, Ra
leigh, conferred with Mr. Whitten
here yesterday and will return ta
Roxboro Tuesday.
Veterans may obtain from the lo
cal service office information on,
and applications for, government in
surance, education, vocational train
ing, on-the-job training, loans for
homes, farms and businesses, pen
sions, hospital care, and medical at
tention. Other types of assistance S
and information can also be Obtain
ed, but in many cases—such as re
employment, employment and un
employment compensation, legal aid,
financial aid, State and Federal in
come tax, and social security—tha
service office will simply refer tha
veteran to the proper agency, Mr,
Whitten stated.
The service officer now has OO

Mr. Whitten was emphatic in
stating that his office cannot and
will not state whether a man is en
titled to any amount of compensa
tion or pension from the govern
ment. Tile Veterans Administration
decides all such cases, he said.
He called attention to the fact
that, effective March 15, the regional
VA office is now located at North
Trade Street, Winston-Salem, and
not in Fayetteville as it formerly,
was. Veterans wishing to write to
the VA office should address theU;
mail to Winston-Salem.
Posters outlining the opportunities
and benefits available to veterans
will be drawn up and put on display;
at several prominent places in Rox
boro, Mr. Whitten said. He also said
that plans are being made for peri
odic meetings of organizations and
individuals especially interested hi
veterans’ assistance, such as Red
