Godfrey, state adminis trative officer for Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation, to day reminded Tar Heel tobacco growers that there have been sev eral recent changes made in the tobacco allotment and quota pro gram. Public Law 21, passed by the Congress this year, made severa’ changes in the method of operation of the adjustment program on to bacco for this year and next. One of the most welcome of these changes, Godfrey said,, is the one that eliminates credit for over planting. In previous years, un der the Law, it was possible for a farmer to increase his planting history and consequently his to bacco allotment by consistent overplanting and payment of pen alty. Public Law 21, he said, elim inates any credit for overplanting for this and future years.

Londoners consider it quite nice to spend a holiday at Dover, the beach, or on the continent. Our recent trip to London, Eng land was most enjoyable. We traveled from Metz, France, via Calais by train, boarded a steamer and cross the Channel. On ap proaching Dover, we saw the the chalk cliffs made famous in the song “White Cliffs of Dover,” a few years ago.

It was interesting to notice the i speech of the British people on the steamer and the train. Many were returning from a trip to Switzer land and were carrying their mountain climbing equipment. We found the English people to be most gracious. During our five days' stay in London people were so helpful, kind and hospitable If we hesitated at a street corner or in an underground station some Londoner would step up and ask if they could be of help. Calvin had spent several years during World War II in the London area, and he made an excellent guide. (See ENGLAND, Page 8)
