Royster Says Choice
Is Offered Growers
DANVILLE, Va. ? A May 4
flue-cured tobacco referendum
will offer growers a choice
of "voting' for acreage-pour-i
age controls or losing their
entire program," Fred S.
Royster told the Virginia North
Carolina Old Belt Warehouse
Association Tuesday.
Royster, managing director of
the Bright Belt Warehouse As
sociation, called the acreage
poundage program to be voted
on '"the best program ever sub
mitted to growers for ap
proval."
Not only will It stabilize the
market but It also will forestall
another huge acreage cut next
year, Royster said.
Such a cut, at least equal to
this year's 19.5 per cent reduc
tion, Is certain to come if acre
age-poundage controls aren't
approved and the present acre
age-only control is continued,
he said.
Royster's call for a large af
firmative vote on acreage
poundage controls was seconded
by Joe R. Pell of Pilot Moun
tain, N. C. new president of
the Association.
Growers and warehousemen
"have never faced an Issue as
important," Pell said.
If growers reject the new con
trols in the voting, the present
government program of con
trolling production by acreag*
alone will remain in affect, but
both Pell and Royster said this
is no guarantee the program
will continue.
Royster Sktd the acreage
poundage propose 'Id be

grower has iree Insurance.
That is, if he is allotted 10,000

his entire allotment carries

L. T. Weeks, general mana
ger of the Fliw Cured Tobacco
Stabilisation corporation which
administers the government's
price support program, spoke
to the warehouseman on there
qulrements they mcst mNt
under the 196'. Clvli Kltiits Act.
Warehousemen must'employ
a percentage of Negroes at least
equal to the percentage of Ne

Social Security payments In
Warren County are now more
than a million dollars annual
ly, Clay Stone, Social Security
Commission field worker, said
yesterday.
Stone noted that as of Decem
ber SI, 1964, some 2200 Warren
County citizens were collect
ing about $1,157,928 annually
from social security, an In
crease of ?% over the same
date In 1963.
Monthly old-age, survivors,
and disability Insurance bene
fits In Warren County now top
996,494, Stone said.
"This Increase can be attri
buted to the changes in the law
In recent years, as well as to
the growth of our aged popula
tion," Stone said. "This money
stimulates county business;
most of it Is spent for food,
clothing, and shelter.
"There Is no longer any
doubt. Social security benefits
are helping to stabilize the In
come an d spending power of
many residents in Warren
County."
Monthly benefits first become
payable.in January 1940, and
they have continued without in
terruption for years, accom
panied by a steady growth in
the number of beneficiaries.
Possibly more people In War
ren County, he said, could draw
?octal security benefits If they
knew more about the law, and
for that reason they are urged
to v/slt or call the local social
aecurlty office whenever they
have a question concerning their
benefits or responsibilities.
As of January 1985, In the na
tion at large, more than 19
million beneficiaries were re
celving payments at the rate of
$1 1/3 billion per month.
The average monthly old
age retirement benefit in Jan
uary was $77.57 for all States,
while In the State of North Car
olina the average was $65.88,
Stone said.
The yew 1985 marks several
milestones In the history of
?octal security, Stone pointed
out. The January 1985 benefit
payment marked the 300th
month of payment since month
ly benefits first becaas payable
In January 1940. The number of
monthly benefits currently be
ing paid will reach the 30 mil
lion mark In 1965. m addition,
August is the 30th anniversary
?f the signing of the Social
Security xct by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt.

the Warren board departure

serves as a committee for all
schools in district one. This
board was chartered by the
Legislature, is self-perpetuat
ing, and would require a special
act of the Legislature to have

to a fight among many patrons

the following school districts
will be maintained:
District 1-John Graham. John
