Shortage
Threatened
— ♦. .
Although -OlO reports were
available from the, schools in
the” county on opening..day en
rollment, Superintendent-, of
Schools R. H. Claytor said
Monday that, he felt there was
a substantial increase over last
year’s opening day figures.
With an increased attend
ance expected over last year’s
record, a school book shortage
threatened the county schools, but
there was apparently nothing for
the superintendent of schools or
the county board of education to
Elementary grade enrollment
in Chapel Hill was estimated by
Superintendent C. W. Davis not
to exceed that of last year. High
school enrollment Monday was
said to be approximately 40 stu
dents higher' than last year. En
rollment last year was 275. Av
erage enrollment' last year
throughout the term was 300.
Enrollment in Hillsboro schools
showed an increase of 170 over
last year, Grady A. Brown, prin
cipal, reported Tuesday morning.
Elementary enrollment this
year is 641 as compared to 586
last year, and high school enroll
ment is 290 as compared to 175
last year, he said.
The school has five more teach
ers this year than last. W. H.

do about the shortage. The short
age is facing not only the local
schools, hjut also every school sys
tem in the state.
Paper shortage in publishing
houses throughout the nation, cou
pled with labor shortages, has-seri-r
ously disrupted the production of
books. Orange county schools have
about one#-lialf the necessary num
ber of mathematics book's needed
for the grades. Other shortages
are. reported in English, spelling
and reading books for the lower
grades. *
Asked what the school teachers
planned to do about the problem,
Claytor responded there was little
they could do except "get along”
the best they-eould. It was pointed
out that solution of the book short
age would be more of an individual
teacher and classroom problem
rather than a problem for the
school board or the superintendent
of schools to settle.
Lunch Rooms
Claytor asserted that all the
lunch rooms in the white schools
were in operation and in the fol
lowing Negro schools: Gravely Hill,
Hillsboro, Efland and Ridge Road.
He indicated that lunch rooms
might be opened in other Negro
schools in the county.
Teacher shortages in all the
schools have been settled at least
"temporarily” with substitute
teachers filling in for "a short while
until a full teaching roster can be
completed. A fourth teacher has
been added to the White Cross
school. She will teach in the eighth
gracje. White Cross now has four
teachers and eight grades.

The filth High School Day pro

Ordinance On
Sale Of Milk
Is Suggested
A standard milk ordinance to
govern the sale and preparation of
all milk sold at retail in Orange
county is to be presented to the
next meeting of the Digtrict Health
Board, Dr. O. David Garvin, health
officer, asserted Monday.
He pointed out that he felt cer
tain the ordinance would be* passed
this time since “certain evils prac
ticed by some daires serving milk”
in the area had been cleared.
A standard milk ordinance for
Orange county would also prohibit
sale of milk by individuals .keep
ing one or two cows, it was pointed
out. , f~ .
- . A rrlilk ordinance such . as pro
posed by Dr. Garvin would re
quire (1) labeling of all milk ac
cording to the grade; (2) identifica
tion of producer on bottle cap; and
(3) bottling in a manner pre
scribed by the health department.
In other words, Dr. Garvin said,
the ordinance would supervise the
storing, handling and processing
of mflk. from the time the cow was
milked until the bottled milk was
delivered to the door steps of the
users.

Non-Profit Organization For Tobacco Growers
Organization* . Objectives,. And Operating Plans Of Weed Cooperative
The Flue-cured Tobacco Coop
erative Stabilization Corporation is
a non-profit cooperative organized
to serve tobacco growers in the
entire flue-cured tobacco produc
ing area. Its principal or “home”
office is in Raleigh, Membership is
limited to flue-cured tobacco grow
ers. Authorized capital is $5,000,
000.
Objective
The objective of the Stabiliza
tion Corporation is to assist in
making government loans av.ail
able to growers on any tobacco
mr which the price bid by private
buyers on auction markets is less
than the government loan rate.
The Stabilization Corporation
Provides an agency through which
government loans can be made to
tobacco growers most effectively,
"and which can act for growers in
selling loan tobacco with the view
of. obtaining additional returns
above the amount of the loan. Flue
cured tobacco, unlike many agri
cultural commodities, cannot be
packed and placed in ac^ept^bl®
condition for loan by individual
farmers. A grower cooperative is
needed to provide for packing,
storing, and selling tobacco and
for distributiton on an equitable
basis to growers of any net re
turns realized from the sale of the

grades. Loans will be made on the
basis of a schedule of loan rates
for government grades of tobaco.
The rates will average 32.1 cents
per pound, which is 90 per cent
of parity for the 1946 crop. The
differential between tied and un
tied tobacco is 10 per cent of the
average loan rate rounded to the
nearest whole cent. Fbr the 1946
crop this is 3 cents per pound.
The grade schedule of loan rates
is frequently referred to as a “floor
price" since any basket of tobacco
can be placed under the loan by
the grower if the price bid on the
market is not more than the loan
rate. Thus, it may be to a farmer’s
advantage to place a particular
basket of tobacco under the loan
eveh though the average market
price for all tobacco is above the
average of the loans for all grades.
Current supply and demand fig
ures indicate that prices for the
1946 crop should be such that lit
tle, if any, tobacco will need to
be placed under loan by growers.
However, government loans will
be available if needed for the 1946
crop. During the next few years
conditions may change so that the
loans will be needed if stable mar
keting conditions are to be main
tained and protection provided
against distress prices. ^ .
Common Stock and Control
$2,500,000 of the authorized cap
ital of the Stabilization Corpora
tion can' be obtained by sale of
common stock to tobacco growers
at $5.00 per share. Only tobacco
growers can buy common stock.
Upon purchase of one or more
shares of common stock a tobacco
grower becomes a metnber of the

Williams, assistant secretary, said:
“If you have been* on the tobacco
