Warren County citizens. How soon these plans can be carried out' will depend on the number of volunteers that can be obtained from Warren Coun! ty, Henry Hale, Captain of the rescue squad, said thL week. Several Warren County men are already serving with the Vance Rescue Squad and Joe Cobb of Norlina is a lieutenant in the organization. I captain Hale said that the establishment of a base at Palmer's Point would give ;?> more effective rescue service for the entire Kerr Lake. With one base at Palmer's Point and another at Satterwhite Point working with the Clarksville, Va., rescue squad, the t lake would be pretty well covered, he said. Hale said that the Vance Rescue Squad was organized five years ago by a group oi interested citizens after a trag ic drowning on Kerr Lake. II is, he continued, an independ cut, non-profit organizatior supported by contributions United Fund and drives put on by its members. Because it is an independent organizatior it can answer calls anywhere its officers think is advisable to go. Since its organization, the Vance Rescue Squad has en gaged in many activities, botl of rescue and search for bo dies.

I After discussion with reprej sentatives from two other professional revaluation companies j here on Monday afternoon, in regular session, the commis| sioners agreed to remove from their original specifications a clause requiring the valuing ol i machinery in manufacturing plants. The board ordered that Clerk S. E. Allen write to As Leaf Program Passage Is Said To Be Certain IVACIIIVCTOM A I bacco program?one which the | industry favors unanimously? appears certain this year of both congressional passage and Eisenhower administration ap proval. The program would stabilize price supports to keep them from skyrocketing and forcing I American leaf out of world i markets. Two Kentucky Republicans, Sens. Thurston B. Morton and John Sherman Cooper, report | ed Tuesday that Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Bensor would support the new bill. In 1959 President Eisenhow er vetoed a measure whicl* would have frozen tobaccc supports but which was tech I nieally different from this year's proposal. J Morton and Cooper said the administration's approval, giv en at a meeting between the two senators and officials of the Agriculture Department ' Rudget Bureau and White I House, would be submitted ir ; a few days to the Senate and | House Agriculture committees. ! The measure won unanimous j approcal of all segments of the tobacco industry which joinec j together and formed an "indus 1 try legislative eommittee" t( , help push the measure to pass , ace. Tt also gained approval o the powerful American Farn . Rureal Federation, an organi jzation which fought, the 1955 . measure. Under the bil, support! j this year would be identica .with those of 1959. Fron 1961 on. they would be ad | iiLsteo?eitner up or downin direct proportion to th< | three-year average of farmei i production costs.
