H. Lutterloh of Chatham county were reelected to the board of directors of the association. Immediately after the meeting the board of directors met and elected for a second term W. W. Fitzpatrick, manager of Quail Boost, president; C. H. Lutterloh, vice-president; and Henry S. Ho gan, secretary-treasurer. An important feature . ol the membership meeting was a dis cussion of plans to originate a herd improvement program, working with the North ^Carolina Dairy Extension Service. Lt. Col. George B. Cline, manager of the associa tion, referring to the program said, “This would include the eip* ployment of a field worker for the association Who would do butter fat testing and record keeping on the dairy herds of members so as to eliminate unprofitable milking cows. Also, through the efforts of the field worker better care and feeding methods as well as the health of the milk cows would be supervised and controlled.” . This plan was endorsed by the members and will go into effect sometime this year. Chancellor R. B. House wel comed the association.

The campaign* will officially get underway in the county March 10. According to chairmen, the next meeting of workers will be held in Hillsboro March 18, one week after the campaign is underway, in or der to tally receipts to date. Although the Chapel Hill-Carr boro quota in the Red Cross Fund drive, which opens there Friday following President Truman’s ra dio address and the national kick off Thursday night, is only $6,000 the amount which will be spent on Red Cross services and activ ities in these two communities next year will be $6,275. The explanation is this: The lo cal chapter has a surplus of ap proximately $3,275 from last year’s over-the-top drive;-So all it 4a necessary to raise this time is $3, 000 for the local fund and a match ing $3,000 for the national fund, or less than the total to be spent here next year. However, the local chapter has lost two of its biggest sources of revenue in the Pre-Flight School and the Munitions Plant, and Campaign Chairman R. M. Grum man estimates that each donor’s contribution would need to aver age about three-fourths of last year’s to go over the top again. As Chairman Grumman sums up: “The local chapter will spend $275 more actual money in Chapel Hill and Carrboro next year than the $6,000 it has for its godl. The total services will also we worth many times the $6,000, because this sum will be multiplied by the services of several hundred volunteer workers.” W.
