the largest in years, reflecting one
of the many ways the war is affect

The German military commenta
tor, Capt. Ludwig Sertorious, re
the Russians are rr.t-.V.i
gantic efforts on the whole south
ern front. He said: "All along the
Mjus (Stalin) front grim battles are
continuing.”
Reports coming out of France state
that German units in France are 30
to 40 percent short in their arma
ments and in th« tank units &t> pcr
eefrt of the machines are of old de
sign or reconditioned.
Trie appointment of Bouis Mount
| batten to chief of East Asia opera
tions is received as encouraging sign
on the military front, but recent de
velopments on the diplomatic front
are not so encouraging. The outcome
of the Roosevelt-Churchill confer
ences in Quebec is to be meaured as
events unfold themselves in the
future, and the progress is not to be
questioned now. It has been fairly
well established that Stalin was in
vited to the conference, that the
work there raised no objection. But
in our own State Department, the
resignation of Undersecretary, Mr.
Sumner Welles, is causing some con
cern over future relations with Rus
sia.
While the diplomats are focusing
attention on increased activities in
the Pacific war, it remains to be seen
what action is being proposed in the
European area.
President Roosevelt revealed little
information in his talk yesterday,
and Churchill is expected to tell no
more when he speaks tomorrow at 1.
and Oak City, 10. It is almost a clean
sweep for Oak City. One hundred
and seven teachers will make up the
faculty personnel in the white
schools this term as compared with
111, a year ago. The Robersonville
district is losing three, and Farm
Life, one. The Robersonville district
also loses four colored teachers and
the colored school in Bear Grass is
losing one.
: war ana otner conamons are ai
' most certain to be reflected in the
enrollment figures this year, a re
port based on scattered estimates
stating that the figures will possibly
topple as much as ten per cent below
those of a year ago. That means that
between five and six hundred chil
dren will be held out of school for
one cause or another. A few will be
going to war. some to defense indus
try and some will be held at home
for farm work and other duties.
Principal L. W. Anderson estimated
that the enrollment in the Roberson
ville High School alone will drop
from 275 to possibly 225. The out
look is not at all bright, but school
authorities are proposing a “short"
schedule in an effort to relieve the
situation. All the colored schools
will open each morning at 8:30
o’clock and close the session at 1:30
p. m. It is proposed to open the white
schools in the Robersonville district
at 8 a. m. and close for the day at
1 p. m. after the opening on Wed
nesday. Most of the other white
schools plan to open half an hour
later and close that much later in
the afternoon. These schedules are
tentative and are subject to change
at the direction of the committees in
each of the local districts. There is
a possibility that Williamston will
not adopt the “she. schedule dur
- -'Ryi—Vvo. £•••/.*. .few weeks...test-r.o .-i-ii.
j inite decision will be reached until
I the local school committee meets to
i morrow night or Monday.
! School officials believe the “short’’
schedule will help relieve the farm
labor shortage and at the same time
make it possible for the child to con
tinue his school work. The officials
are pleading with the parents, pa
trons and landlords to cooperate in
every way possible in supporting the
welfare of every child in the coun
ty
Parents and patrons are cordially
invited to attend the opening-day
sessions in their respective schools,
and their interest and suggestions
are cordially invited at any and all
times during the new term.

if the association, as “drafted from
iur own association by the peanut
lection in Washington,” outlined the
lew program and declared that “no
>0? likes to see the government get
nto private business.” But as a war
neasure, he went on, the govern
next is getting into business.
“And many casualties follow when
;he government goes into business
. . as is the case with peanuts,” he
declared.
The new program leaves no place
for the speculator, but everyone else
in the industry is taken care of, he
said; the Commodity Credit Corpor
ation will buy all peanuts produc
ed at an average price of $140.00 pel
ton and will sell most of them to the
edible trade at one price and the re
mainder to the oil trade at a lowc:
price, accepting a greater part of the
loss.
The CCC, he said, will lose abou
$10 pel ton if everything goes well.
But ix tin war should end w'x

-lain .the CCC would stand to lost
about $75,000,000 on the 1943 crop
while growers would collect th<
price agreed upon even “if the CCC
has to buy every bag grown.”
Parker assured his listeners tha
the CC had bent over backwards ii
trying to be fair to everyone con
cerned. The cooperative associations
he pointed out, have a tremendou
job in reporting on every pound o
peanuts grown this year.
The program from grower to con
sumer will be no different this yea
from any other year, with the ex
ception of the speculators, who ar
“out,” he said.
Mr. Parker ended by saying tha
the area served by the GPC is grow
ing less than 10 per cent of the na
tion's total peanut acreage this yea
. . . “It seems to me this is a probler
with which we should be more con
cerned than the price situation.
