Edwards the past week K.B.ZAHNER THEATRE HEAD Board Announces Raising Of Building Fund In ' Near Future Tarheel Farmers Asked To Grow More Barley , "Plant more barley, and less wheat, this fall," say.s the United States Government to North Caro lina farmers anxious to cooperate ini the "Food for Freedom" cam paign which has just been started on-a- Nation-wide basis. V.. C. Blair, exteJisios agronomist of N. C. State college, rejort,s that North Carolina's 1942 food and feed goals in the emergency program calls for 40,000 acres of barley, and 365,000 acres of wheat. These production goal compare with 20,- 000 acres of. barley, and 489,000 acres of wheat harvested in 1941 "We are asked," Blair said, "to double our barley acreage, and to cut dows on. our wheat production 133,000 acres. A further, reduction of wheat is asked in 1943." The agronomist said there is lit tle time to lose in jniaking. plans to meet fhese goals. "Unfortunate ly," he stated, "the past few weeks have been dry, making it difficult for farmers to prepare their grain land. When the rain does come, do not lose are hour until your small grain is seeded." 1 I Blair said that' barley 'should be seeded as soon as' possible in the mountain area. f ALL MADE IN ONE DAY z . 55 4 ....

O. Schaub, director of the State College Extension service, who led a group of North Carolina agricultural leaders to the recen Memphis, Tenn., meeting where a "Food for Freedom" campaign for the South was planned, returned home with the statement that "North Carolina will make an "all out effort to produce food and feed for defense and security of the United 'State. "Our farmers have been given a definite job to do in this food production plan," Dean Schaub de clared, and he added: "I know they will do their job with true patriot ism. Secretary of Agriculture Wick- ard and the . other Government leaders have outlined the needs very clearly. The farmers will be paid 85 per cent of parity for the food they produce. This has nothing to do with allot ments, but is a new feature of the war effort. State goals will be broken down into county goals, and these into the individual farm goals. N. C Quota Of lacraaa North Carolina has been called upon to increase, iin 1W2, its milk production by 58 million pounds, which is 4 per cent over 1940, its poultry production by 6,453,000 dor- en eggs, 11 per cent increase, its beef by 10,164,000 and other food and feed crops in proportion. Every North Carolina farmer must do his part," Dean Schaub declared, "and I'm sure he will. just as he has done in past emergencies," Kesyon B. Zahner, formerly of Atlanta, now of Greenville, ' S. C, and Highlands, has been elected president of Highlands Community Theatre, the board announces. The group is extremely gratified to have Mr. Zahner accept this posi tion. He and his entire family have been very active in the Com munity Theatre for some time. He is well acquainted with its aims and developments and is enthu siastic over the possibilities for its future growth. Mr. Zalwer as president will be active head of the building funds campaign, and hopes to raise suf ficient additional funds to be able to start the building in the early spring on the lot leased from the baseball grounds trustees. The season just closed has been a highly' successful one for the Community Theatre from all stand points. It has , seen three plays pro duced, each of increased perfection and technical difficulty. The last play of the season, "Escape Me Never," with eight scene shifts and lighting effects that were new to Highlands, was: a particular proof of the work the group is able to do. The professional actors and actresses' who donated their time a,nd ability because of their faith im what the Theatre promises, all voiced their conviction that their energies were well spent, and in- widually expressed their apprecia- F . i- lion oi tne respective audiences they had, and'of the generous hos pitality of the people of Highlands. Next Sea non Plans For next season the Theatre plans agairs to have a working nucleus of a few persons who will spend the summer in Highlands for the sole purpose of devoting all their time to actors, thus aid ing in productions which local tal ent would not have the time to give. Arthur Little, who has re turned to Macon, Ga., for another year as Director of the Little Theatre there, hopes to produce five plays next year, with the as sistance of Thomas Fitzpatrick on several of the productions. The board of the Community Theatre again expresses its appre ciation to the many persons in Highlands and 'elsewhere who con tributed to the success of thus past season. People have been most gen erous with their time and finan cial help, by lending properties for the plays and by working with the group unselfishly and purely for the enjoyment and training they derived. The local tradespeople have given the Theatre special prices on materials for the plays. The Board is especially grateful to the local Boy Scout Troop for donating the use of the Scout Hut for the season. The-Hut provides a place for rehearsals, ' for meet ings, for making scenery and for storage of properties. It was of more assistance than the Board feels its small contribution to the Boy Scouts can possibly express. The Board also is grateful to Mr. O. F. Summer for 'making the school theatre available to . the Community Theatre group as often as h felt justified in changing his movie bookings.
