Exhibition
Set Thursday

purpose of finding out which ma- |
terials afford the most control with
the least trouble and expense and
are yet safe to use.
To gain the maximum effective
ness in the use of new chemicals
to control flies and other insects,
methods of application should fol
low manufacturers' recommenda
tions. These new methods will be
stressed at the demonstration, the
county agent said.

opposing all forms of racial dis
crimination and pledging their sup
port of the Supreme CJourt's de
cision on segregation,
i The group also reiterated the
request of previous student con
ferences that swimming privileg
es at the Methodist summer as
sembly grounds be extended to

| adopted without opposition by 37S
1 delegates from 90 colleges and '
| universities in nine southeastern j
| states. The group includes nine
| Negroes. The eight-day confer- 1
ence. sponsored by the Methodist

The resolution was drafted b>
; the conference steering committee
1 and read to delegates by the chair-1
j man, Jack Crawford of Birming
ham. Ala., a student at Vanderbilt
University, Nashville, Tenn.
"We wish to reaffirm the tradi
tional stand of this conference in
that we oppose racial discrimina-1
tion in all forms as contrary to the '
gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ." j
the resolution declared.
"Under one God. Father of us all.
we are brothers. We grieve over
? barriers which would prevent us
| from uniting as an inclusive felkiw
1 ship. We are noting with deep
: interest and prayerful thanksgiv
i ing the signs of progress in this ;
area of Christian concern, among.j
them the Supreme Court decision
I declaring unconstitutional racial
I segregation in public schools. We
| hereby pledge our cooperation in
our own state areas as this op- ?
portunity for democracy is faced."
With reference to the local swim
ming ban. the students pledged
themselves not to swim "until those
In authority remove the restric
tions." !
The resolution stated: "Seeking
to face honestly a specific issue'
which has arisen during our reg- j
ional Leadership Training Confer- I
ence. we would bring to the atten
tion of the Board of Trustees and '
other officials of the Lake iuna
luska Assembly the earnest appeal
of this conference for fair treat
ment of all students of the Metho- j
dist and ecumenical Christian fet-'
lowschip regarding the use of fa
cilities."
The statement commended the
trustees for 'the progress that has
been made under then- leadership
and for the developments in recent
years that have enabled us to meet
as an exclusive student fellowship,
wit If delegates invited from all our
campus groups in the southern
states."
The students emphasized that "in j
previous years we have asked, and
we now repeat our request with a
new sense of urgency, for a cor
rection in regulations that would
make it possible for us to main
tain our unified and unbroken fel
lowship while on the grounds of
the assembly."

Land Begins
Measurement of burley tobacco
acreage in Haywood County is now
in progress- and will continue
through July, according to A. W.
Ferguson, ASC county manager.
Last week 18 representatives of
the ASC started measurement of

Acreage wil be determined by
ground measurement, but compu
tations wil be made at the county
ASC office, which will notify pro
ducers of the figures obtained.
Growers over their allotments
will have 10 days in which to make
a request to destroy their excess
tobacco. If this is not done, those
farmers will receive a red card
which wil prevent their receiving
the market support price on their
burley crop this winter. A penalty
of 37 cents wil be charged on all
excess leaf.
No penalties will be made, how
ever, if producers request permis
sion to destroy their excess and do
so under ASC supervision.

county's farmers were over their
burley allotment. Of this number.
7 percent chose not to destroy
their excess tobacco and paid
penalties on the markets.
