Bill of Rights. S. A. Johnson, vice president of the Durham Bank and Trust company in Hillsboro, Tuesday replied to the story. His letter to THE NEWS follows: Hillsboro, N. C. Oct. 13, 1947 The News, Hillsboro,N. C. Gentlemen: Lest some one infer from your article last week that vet erans cannot get loans in Hillsboro, I should like to say the Durham Bank and Trust company here in Hillsboro has made substantial loans to veterans and will gladly make tfiore. Making lbans is a major activity here and all comers are welcomed. Anybody who can and will meet the rea sonable requirements can get a loan. We have not made loans under the G.I. Bill because we believe we should not make twenty-five year loans. In ferentially, at least, the government shares that belief; be cause^ t does not permit commercial banks to own and hold bonds maturing in even half that time. To us it seems ujByfejessing to project a financial appraisal of any Hills ff^^K'operty over a twenty-five year period, or much less foHp matter. Trhave also been reliably informed the local building and loan association has made loans to no fewer than forty veterans. Yours very truly, S. A. JOHNSON, G. A.

Ralph Lloyd, president Lloyd Memorial as sociation, presiding. Approximately 500 attended the gathering, which was a me morial service in honor of the late Dr. B. B. Lloyd. * Dr. Archibald Henderson of the University of North Carolina delivered a speech relating some of the history connected with the Lloyd Memorial association. He told of Gen. Thomas Lloyd, who was famous during the American Revolution. Dr. Hen derson said he had no reason to doubt that General Lloyd fought with George Washington during the French apd Indian war. He pointed out. that General Lloyd built Fort Necessity at Pitts burgh and was with Washing ton when he surrendered to the French. Lloyd later returned to Orange county and built a home which he named Great Mead ows. Dr. Henderson also gave the resolution in memory of the late Dr. B. B. Lloyd, as follows: “The Lloyd Memorial association as sembled $t its annual meeting, Bethel church. Orange county, October 12, 1947, hereby goes pn record in the following: “Resolved: That the principal object of this meeting is to honor the life and services of the late Dr. Braxton Bynum Lloyd, who by his scientific skill and salty humor and consecrated devotion to the health and welfare of the people of this community, Orange and Chatham counties, greatly endeared himself to all who knew him and left behind a precious, memory of service which will never be forgotten.” Dr. William DeB. MacNider of the University of North Caro lina in his speech titled “The Life and History of the Late Dr. B. B. Lloyd” said, “Today, with an affectionate appreciation, we memoralize the , life of Dr. Brtxton Bynum Lloyd who was born near Chapel Hill on Christ mas day, 1886, and who died in his home near the place of his birth on Thursday, March 20, 1947. He was fortunate in be ing born and raised on a farm. Here he lived close to nature and to the naturalness of the things of nature, its creatures and its human' beings. An appreqia-,, tion of such natural things not See LLOYD on Page 4 If the president’s food saying program inaugurated last week is to be successful, it must have the cooperation of farmers throughout the nation. Orange county farm ers have already signified their willingness to help. Listed below are a few sug gested farm practices, which, if Adopted, will work right along with this food program and at the same time make for more ef ficient farming. (1) Kill fattening hogs before they reach 300 lbs. All records indicate that a hog makes the most efficient gains up to 250 lbs. After this weight, it takes a lot more grain to put on a pound of weight. (2) Seed all corn land to small grain. Prepare land well, fer tilize heavy, and use cleaned and treated seed. (3) Sell cull poultry and low producing cows before winter sets in. (4) Seed small acreage to tem porary grazing crops. It is not too late to sow a little rye grass which can be obtained through the AAA -office in Hillsboro for 3c per lb. Thirty to forty pounds seeded on an acre will make excellent early grazing for cattle, hogs, and poultry. Plan to use electric fences in your grazing program next spring. 15 HHS Girls Attend Rally At Sanford By RuthiMiller Hillsboro Assistant FHA Reporter ■vThe Future Homemakers of America in the fourth district held their annual rally on October 11 in the Sanford high school with approximately 700 FHA girls at tending.
