Mr. Floyd, who addressed a similar
gathering of the farmers and com
mitteemen at the court house on
Tuesday afternoon.
He discussed at length on Tues
day the burley crop of 1939 and
gave information desired by th
farmers in anticipation of the ad
visability of crop control, which
wilf be decided in the referendum
on November the 21st.
Mr. Floyd showed where the
price for 1939 might be improved
if the government crop control
should receive a favorable vote, and
explained how the large buyeis
would be willing to pay a better
price if they knew that the 1940
crop would be reduced in acreage
and pounds.
Weaver Cathey spoke on the im
portance of crop control, making an
appeal to the farmers to consider
the reductions as proposed by the
government.

ing at Clyde has been approved by
the state WPA othciais, it, wat
learned here Monday from the
county superintendent of education.
As soon as the project is approv
ed in Washington work will begin
on the new school building, over
which there has been some contro
versary among officials as to the
necessity of a new building at this
time, or making repairs on the
present school.
"We had hoped to have the pro
ject approved and work started by
the first of December, but have
been delayed, pending the approval
in Washington of the allocation ot
funds," said Jack Messer, county
superintendent of education in dis
cussing the matter with a repre
sentative of The Mountaineer.
The project calls for 45 per
cent of the funds from WPA and
the county putting up 55 per cent of
the expense involved in the erection
of the building, and the purchase
of a new site.
Mr, Messer stated that no defi
nite steps had as yet been taken
regarding another site for the
building, but as soon as the project
was approved the land would be
bought.

"There is no such thing as a born
criminal. There is no such thing
as a bad boy or bad girl. They
have not had a chance. They arc
misunderstood," thus said the Rev.
C. Logan Landrum, pastor of the
Tattnell Square Presbyterian
church, of Macon, Ga., to the Hay
wood Ministerial Association, meet
ing at the First Methodist -'church:
here on Monday.
"We might say they are born as
neutrals, from a psychological
point of view. Each one is a prob
lem to be solved, one a little hard
er than another. The churches
have the same situation to face as
the schools. John Dillinger, public
"npmv niiTmhpr onfl. was not al
ways a public enerry and was not
born that way. Like all other chil
dren he was born without a bent
either way. His being roughly
handled by the police for some
small delinquency brought him out
as the big enemy to society that he
was. Mal-adjustment is the main
reason for delinquency," continued
the Rev. Landrum.
The Rev. Mr. Landrum's address
was taken mainly from material
gathered for a thesis which he
wrote for his Th. M. Degree in 1938
dealing with delinquency. The dis
sertation has been published in
numerous magazines, and Rev. Mr.
Landrum has been invited to speak

Ministers Plan
Loyalty Drive Of
All Churches
The Haywood County Ministerial
Association has decided to hold a
special meeting on next Monday at
10 o'clock at the First Methodist
church to discuss plans for a coun
ty wide loyalty campaign in all the
churches of the various faiths in
the county.
Rev. H. K. Marsteller, pastor of
the Canton Baptist church, led the
discussion regarding the proposed
plans, in which he stated that he
had recently consulted with the
educational directors of the First
Baptist church of Asheville, where
the plan was in operation.
It was brought out by the Kev.
Marsteller that to be effective the
campaign must last at least 10
weeks, and in order to devote that
much time to the cause, it would
be necessary to start the first Sun
day in January to close by Easter.
which is in March this year.
Rev. Marsteller also suggested
that the ministers take the same
