Farmers Urged To Attend Tobacco Meet Three New Regulations For '55 Given The farmers area are urged in this farming to attend the an - nual convention of the Tobacco Sta bilization Corporation which will convene in Raleigh, June 24, to morrow. "With the many problems now facing tobacco growers, the sup port of every individual grower in all phases of the tobacco program I is of utmost importance," according to W. M. Griffin, member of the State Board from Seven Springs. Under the new program, which was adopted March 31, 1955, there are several new regulations-which will have to be observed this year. "There are three regulations which ell flue - cured growers should be fully familiar with," Griffin said. They are: (1) -the new penalty rate which applies to marketing ex cess tobacco. The new rate is 75 per cent of the market average of the previous crop. (2) the elimination of credit for over-planting. In the past, consideration was given to a grower who over - planted his al- "tment in anticipation-oi, merest. Qhia allotment In future years.

A. Avera, Social Security Ad .v' ministration disbict manager in Wilmington, N. C. Mr, Avera pointed out that pay- : ments to mothers and children have , . special significanca to the commun- ity as a whole because they help V- ' fami'ies to stay together after the death of the breadwinner.

In all, 562 people in Duplin Coun ty were receiving . $18,572.00 each month In benefits under the old-age i and survivors insurance program " at the end of the year. ( One reason -for the increase in payments over 1953 was the passage - last September ot the 1954 Amend- , ments tp -the Social Security Act. These amendments ' increased all benefit payments end made it pos (ible for the first time for survivors of some workers who died after . 1930 and before 1950 to qualify for 1 . payments. , Beginning In September 1954 the .

In the country as a whole, there were 6,886,480 people receiving benefit .payments at the end of 1954 nearly a million more than in December 1953. Mr. Avera stressed the importance of these benefits as the greatest or the only source of income to many of the families who received them.' "Two out of three people now' reaching age 65 can qualify for old age and survivors insurance bene fits," he said, "and nine out of ten mothers and children in the coun try are assured of survivor j benefits in case of the death of the family breadwinner."

GOING TO FLORIDA Last week Mrs. Grady and I took a trip to Florida. We spent the first two nights in Jacksonville with her sister, Mrs. Rodney An drews. On Monday we set out fo Sarasota, the winter quarters and home of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum Bailey Circus. Enroute we went by Gainsville and toured the University of Florida, which is a beautiful place, but will' not com pare with the University of North Carolina and Duke. From there we went to the Gulf of Mexico and cruised on down to Sarasota. At Sarasota we stopped at the Sarasota Terrace Hotel, which is being advertised In this paper We've stopped at many a hotel but rever one to surpass the Sarasota Terrace. The service was as near perfect as one could wish, the food just "Out Of this World" and rates were reasonable. They didn't treit you as a guest exactly but more like a member of the family. The rooms are large, overlooking Sarasota Bay. Just out the side door is a swim ming pool for children as well as grownups, 'and a shuffle board court If you don't' want to drive they have a hotel limosine to carry you where you wish to go. Be sura and visit the John and Mable Ringling mansion, the Ring ling Zoo and Ringling Museum of Arts..

Lewis Outlaw, president of Tri County Electric membership Corpo ration, said yesterday that the electric cooperative "is highly grat ified at the support which the House Appropriations committee is giv ing to the effort of North Carolina's rural electric cooperations to se cure power from the John H. Kerr dam in Virginia." He referred to the action taken by the House group in connection with a three-year controversy be tween the cooperatives and Caro lina Power and Light company over purchasing 60,000 kilowatts generat td at the big federal dam. The Committee, in effect, accord ing to Mr. Outlaw instructed the Department of Interior to see that federal power is transmitted from the dam to the cooperatives under the type of contract the cooperatives have long sought. The committee voted out a bill which expressed deep concern over the marketing of power from the dam to preference customers in the Eastern part of the. state. - ju . The committee's report said thatP it "trusts" the Department of In terior steps to alleviate" the situa ion and stop the unnecessary loss or revenue to the federal govern ment." At issue is a three - year battle between the cooperatives and CP&L. over the way Buggs Island power shall be transmitted to the cooper atives. Rec John Riley (D-S.C.) who considered the issue, said that the committee's attitude is that the pow--?r company agreed to "wheel"this power several years ago. The committee believes, he said. :hat the type of contract the gov rnment already has with the Vir ginia Electric and Power company should be negotiated in this in jnstance. Under the VEPCO contract, the :overnment sells power directly to the Virginia cooperatives and five co-op in the company's service area in North Carolina. VEPCO wheels the power to the cooperatives over its own lines, and by separate con tract "firms" the power so that a steady flow of electricity is avail able to the cooperatives. . i Airman Austin Anderson is sta tioned at Wilmington, , Del.
