Asks Acreage Cut HENDERSON?As a result of increasingly heavy consign ments of tobacco to the Stab ilization Corporation under the government loan program, the board of governors of the Bright Belt Warehouse Asso ciation has declared for a re duction in allotted acreage for flue-cured tobacco in 1963. Fred S. Royster of Hender son, managing director of the association, said Monday the action was in continuation of the policy that production must be kept in line with con sumption if the tobacco pro gram is to operate on a sound basis., Following a three-day mar keting holiday last week, prices failed to improve when auc tions were resumed last Thurs day, and Royster said this was "simply another illustration of over-production adversely af fecting prices." No suggestion was made by the board of governors as to extent acreage should be re duced in 1963. But Royster said the (tody's position is that the cut should be whatever is needed to eliminate the 1962 crop surplus. la the two days on which markets operated in the Mid die, Eastern Carolina and South Carolina and North Car olina Border Belts volume was unusually heavy and - prices generally demonstrated a de clining tendency, the Federal State Market News Service laid. On markets of the Old Belt of North Carolina and Virginia, which opened Monday it last week, volume was heavy on opening day but fair ly light the ren tinder of the week. The Service said deliv eries under government price supports were heavy because of lower prices and poorer quality. On all the belts a large per centage of gross sales went under government loan. On the Old Belt 21.5 per cent was consigned to Stabilization, while 22.6 per cent was deliv ered to the price support agen cy in the Middle Belt, 13 per cent on the Eastern Belt and between 15 and 19 per cent on South Carolina-North Caro lina Border Belts markets. On Middle Belt markets for two days of last week sales were 12.922,832 pounds for an average of $59.85 and for the season 60,085,300 pounds at $59.74 per hundred. For the first week, Old Belt markets sold 29,467,834 pounds for 58.84 per hundred pounds, and Eastern North Carolina last week for two days sold 30,378,748 pounds for $61.82 and for the season 236,704,193 pounds for $59.50. South Car olina-North Carolina Border Belts reported sales for two days of 15,257,7(36 pounds at $62 per hundred, and for the season 317,850,486 pounds at an average of $61.32. All belts reported a substan tial decline from a year ago. There has been agitation for a statewide meeting to protest current prices, and local faro groups have advocated a cur tailment in acreage allotment for 1063.

Calf Show to be held. The 24th annual Warren County Fair, sponsored by the Warrenton Lions Club, opened on Monday afternoon, with the Palmetto Exhibition Shows playing the midway. Crowds were described as I better on Monday night than! they were on opening night a | year ago, although a litUe lighter on Tuesday night.

Education Body Appeals For Funds The Warren Education Foun dation, Inc., this week appeals to friends of higher education for donations that loans may be made to two Warren Coun ty girls in order that they may continue their education. Sam A. Warlick, Jr., presi dent of the foundation, in a letter mailed to a number of Warren County citizens, ex plains that one girl who receiv ed a $150 scholarship needs an additional $800.00 to complete a nine months business course, and another girl wants a loan of $975.00 for the first year of nursing training. After the j first year, Warlick said, funds I and scholarships will be avail able for the remainder of tho four-year course. "These students," Warlick said, "have exhausted all pos sibilities for scholarships and loans from other sources and have turned to us (you) for help." Warlick asks that any inter ested citizen who cac do so mail or give to any officer or director of the Warren Educa tion Foundation, Inc., $5.00 or more so loans to these deserv ing girls can be made. He said it is the intention of these two girls to return to Warrenton after completing their educa tion. Officers of the Foundation are Sam A. Warlick, president; Richard R. Davis, vice-presi dent; and Charles M. White, III, secretary-treasurer. Direc tors are Claude T. Bowers, Pett B. Boyd, Tom Brown, Frank Daniel, Raymond A. Harris, Jr., Ed Harvey, Boyd Mayfield, Duke Miles, Kan dolph Miles, John G. Mitchell, A1 Mustian, Harry Walker, F. P. Whitley and A. A. Wood. Warlick said that it is rec ognized that many of the most worthy and promising high school students are unable t? develop their capacities for be< coming valuable citizens and leaders because of economic circumstanes. Warren Education Found* tion, Inc., was organized in 1960 for the purpose of mak ing loans to worthy student: from Warren County. The re cipients of the loans are chos en with regard to character scholarship, ambition, respon sibility and need, and establ ished business principles arc applied in granting the loans. "We feel that the results ol our two years operation hav? demonstration that the fund fills a positive need in the county," Warlick said. "We also are convinced that we are investing in better education for some of our most worthy students and that these invest ments will soon begin to repay dividends for Warren County, but we need more help from you in order to continue this work." Warlick s;iid that eventually, the fund will become self-sus taining through the repayment of loans with interest, but the repayment of loans will not start until the students have finished school.
