Big Five Charity Foot
ball Game December 5
Stars from Five Colleges
to Battle on Gridiron
Saturday
1
Raleigh, Nov. 30.?Interest in the
Big Five charity football game, to be
staged at the Duke University Sta
dium, Durham, at 2 o'clock, on De
cember 5, is increasing rapidly.
Tickets, placed on sale the last of last
week, are selling nicely, and there is
every indication that the game will
be a sell out
The Carolina and Duke squads will
be combined to make up one team;
and the State, Davidson and Wake
Forest elevens will supply the play
ers for the opposition. Various com
binations may be used during tr?
game, such as the Carolina line back
ed up by the Duke backfield; the re
verse of this arrangement; or a mix
ture of players of the two institutions
so as to get the best possible align
ment It is just possible *hat the
Carolina team may play as a unit for
a few minutes; and that the Duke
team may follow suit The possibil
ities as far as the other team is con
cerned are equally as divergent
Johnny Branch, Kid Brewer, Caro
lina and Duke stars, will be seen in
action in this Big Five charity event.
Other stars from all five colleges will
battle during the afternoon.
* ? v JUJ
The ticket sale is Derng nanaieu
by the American Legion, at the re
quest of State Commander Henry C.
Bourne, of Tarboro. Communities
in which tickets are sold will receive
a part of the money to be raised by
means of this charity game, 40 per
cent going to the local community
which helped the Legion to sell the
pasteboards. The expenses of the
game are to be deducted from the
other 60 per cent and this fund used
by the Governor's Council on Unem
ployment and Relief, as Governor
Gardner and his council see fit, so a3
to do the most good in the relief pro
gram of the state, at the time when
such funds are most needed.
Governor Gardner is heartily in fa
vor of the game. He was the first
citizen of the state to purchase tick
ets in the special guest section of
the Duke stadium. Such tickets sell
for 5 or more, according to the wishes
of the buyers. General admission
tickets are going for 1, and reserved
seats at 2 each.
The Big Five game and the others,
tie Six and Freshman teams and the
to be played by members of the Lit
negro game, to be played in Greens
boro, are all a part of the Council's
program for a big charity football
day on December 5. Governor Gard
ner has taken a very active part in
the calling of conferences in work
ing. toward this schedule of charity
events. Coach R. A. Fetzer, of Caro
lina, is chairman of the athletic di
vision of the Council, which has ail
arrangements in charge.
Besid* the Big Five game, the Lit
tle Six is to play several games,
which have not been made definite
yet. The Carolina and Davidson
Freshmen squads are to stage a game
at Hickory. The Agricultural and
Technical College, colored, at Greens
boro, will play for charity with the
opposing eleven composed of star in
tecollegiate negro players from all
over the country. In fact, Saturday,
December 5, will be a big day in foot
ball history in North Carolina.
TTie game will probably be broad
cast Arrangements have not been
completed, but if a broadcast is made,
it will be hooked up so that the pub
lic within the entire state can listen
in. Of course, It is hoped that buy
ers of tickets will go to the game in
stead of staying at home and listen
ing in.

Halt Sate In
Owensboro
Hurl Apples at Auction
eers and Threaten De
struction of Warehous
es as Protest Against
Ruinous Prices
!
Owensboro, Ky., Dec. 1.?Incensed
because of low prices offered them;
approximately 3,000 farmers attend
ing the opening tobacco sale of the
season here today broke up the bid
ding after hurling apples at the auc
tioneers. Then the farmers unani
mously adopted a resolution not to
raise any tobacco next year.
Approximately 78,000 pounds of
dark leaf tobacco had been sold at
two warehouses for an average of
$4.61 a hundred, compared with an
average of $8.47 on the opening day
last year, when close to 500,000
pounds were sold.
As tie auction continued and re
jections became more numerous, the
farmers began voicing dissatisfaction.
Shouts-of "You can't take our tobac
co that way!" interrupted the auc
tioneers. Threats to wreck the ware
houses ?unless the sale was stopped
were hfeard. *?- ^
The demonstration assumed serious
proportions when someone hurled an
apple at W. G. Crabtree, vice presi
dent and general manager of the
Owens boro Loose Leaf Tobacco
Company, operator of six of the sev
en warehouses here. Crabtree dodged
the apple, but the protests became
so threatening the sale was halted.
The farmers withdrew and several
hours later gathered at the court
house. Because of their numbers, it
was necessary to hold an open meet
ing in the courthouse yard.
Unanimous approval was given to
resolutions to postpone the sale until
next Monday, to appoint a .committee
to confer with James C. Stone, chair
man of the Federal Farm Board in
Washington, in an effort to obtain
financing for a tobacco pool; and to
abandon plans for next year's crop.
The farmers also agreed to offer no
tobacco for sale before next Monday.
The Cwensboro district, known as
the Green River district, is one of
the largest dark leaf tobacco areas
in Kentucky.
It3 sales were the first of the year
in Kentucky, and farmers consider
prices offered on the opening day as
an indication of what they may ex
pect for their crop generally during
the season.
Most of the other dark tobacco
markets and the bu'rley markets, in
cluding* the Lexington market, open
next week.
More than 3,000,000 pounds of to
bacco already have been delivered to
the seven warehouses here and ap
proximately 1,500,000 pounds are
awaiting unloading from wagons.
Some of the farmers indicated they
would take their leaf back home
rather than sell it at prevailing
prices.
Tuberculosis
I Fight Calls For
I Greater Effort
I It Is Most Essential That
I Christmas Seal Sale Go
I Over Well This Year
? * ? v v "?
I Continuation of the strong, united
fight against tuberculosis is urged
by the directors of the North Caroli
I na Tuberculosis Association who I
make the following statement :
There must be no curtailment of I
the united effort to prevent and con- I
trol tuberculosis. On the other hand, I
the fight must be waged more vigor-1
ously. Under such trying economic I
and industrial conditions as we are I
now experiencing, it is a fact of the I
greatest consequence that tuberculo
I sis is causing more deaths in the age I
I period 15 to 45 years than any other I
disease. I
Encouraging progress has been I
made in increasing scientific knowl
edge of tuberculosis. There has been I
1 improvement and expansion in the I
means ^discovering, treating and
preventing t$e diseasdt ^Phis is par
I ticularly true with regard to tuberco
' loris in children and young people.
1' The general dehth rate has been ap
preciably lowered.
But the task of bringing this wide
spread and insidious disease com
mous social and economic problem.
There is, we believe, real danger that
unemployment of mahy thousands of
workers, lowered incomes and stan- ,
dards of living and the mental and j
(physical stress and strain which
great numbers of people are experi- \
encing- may resist in our losing t]
ground in the effort to conquer the ,
wasteful menace of tuberculosis. Dur- |
ing and following the World War the ]
ravages of tubercriosis in countries j
1 where the people were seriously un- ]
! dernourished were appalling. j
It would be nothing short of trag- <
?edy if there should be any slowing
up at this time of the great and win- 1
ning organized fight against tuberciP ,
losis. If tuberculosis prevention ac- i
tivities being carried on are to be ,
continued with full vigor, it is plain ;
that those who are carrying the re- ,
sponsibility for the work will need to ]
put forth extraordinary effort this j
winter to impress the public general- '
ly and those in charge of relief ac- <
tivities with the imperative impor- ,
tance of maintaining this work in all s
of its present strength and of addng
further strength to the fight.
Our challenge and test will come in
the annual sale of Christmas Seals
this Decembec. > ?
Knowing that some old friends and
supporters may not be able to con
tribute this year, must look in ev
ery direction fom new contributors.
We might be-"justly charged with not
keeping the-faith and with disloyal
ty to our gfeat welfare cause :v in
this time of trial we should fail to
do our best "to hold fast to gains al
ready made mid strive for still fur
ther advance.- _

Fountain Highway
One of Major Projects
of This Organization
Begun This Week
0 ?? ? \ <
One of the major projects of the
year, according to the progressive
plans and program of the Major Ben
jamin May Chapter, D. A. R., of
which Mrs. T. C. Turnage is regent,
was started on Tuesday of this week,
when three mites of the Farmville
Fountain highway were planted by
this live organization?dogwood, ce
dar, crepe myrtle and holly trees be- (
ing transplanted by the hundreds.
The planting and resetting of this
highway will be fully completed in
February When a splendid program
of formal dedication of the trees to
prominent friends of the chapter will .
be presented, the day to be celebrated
as a gala occasion, consonant to the
George Washington Bicentennial cel
ebration. ? ?
The first three miles of the high
way, from Fountain toward Farm
ville, was beautified in this manner
within the past few weeks by the
Fountain Woman's Club, which has 1
won recognition time and again for
its activities in the State Federation
of Women's Clubs.
Unless one has participated in, or <
at least bee? a spectator at one of "
these "tree settings," the tremendous
ness of the task, which is in reality '
a gigantic undertaking, involving
considerable time and trouble, can <
scarcely be realized or appreciated,
first, there are hours that must be
given to the planning of the event;
second, hunting for suitable trees and <
liberal owners; the lifting of these, ?
spacing, hole digging, and then the ?
actual transplanting, which necessi
tates the hauling and use of hun- 1
dreds of gallons of water.
The local chapter's committee on <
Conservation and Thrift, which was *
in charge of the planting, was well ;
chosen and capable of carrying out
the task, having as its chairman, Miss '
Tabitha DeVisconti, and as members,
Mrs. Bruce Beasley, Mre. George Jef- 1
ferson, Mrs. R. H. Knott, Mrs. T. (
Joyner, Mrs. A. C. Monk, Mrs. G. M.
Holden and Mrs. W. C. Holston. '
The highway commission, serving
this section of the state under W. N. J
Spruill, rendered invaluable service, j
having a force of eight men working
for several day% under the direction 1
of Mr. Gregory. Mayor Robert Bel- ]
cher cooperated with the committee '
in every way possible, permitting the ^
street force, under Mr. Taylor's su
pervision, to haul water and assist in
many other activities.
The regent and committee have
expressed themselves as deeply grate
ful to every individual who assisted, '
putting among the foremost the do- ^
nors of the trees, one of the most
generous of whom was Will H.
Moore, of Falkland, a -former citizen j
of Farmville, who gave the largest |
number of trees for this purpose. -
Hie results of this labor of land
scape beautification and glorification
will no doubt be viewed with pride
and pleasure by succeeding genera
tions who will rise, up and call these ?
Daughters blessed.

Vigorously emphasizing its policy
of employment against mere charity,
and of the preservation of individual

ning of the various committees ap
pointed at a recent mass meeting of
citizens here, when the Association
was reorganized with John Lewis fcs

For the purpose of economy and
of keeping a record of its activities '
the association decided to employ an
executive secretary at a maximum sal
ary of $15 per month to whom cases
may be referred for investigation, for
employment, and to maintain a card i
index and complete record of affairs .
in general. The policy of finding em- j
ployment for able bodied applicants ;
will be followed to the letter. The
association further agreed that when
the services of such a secretary are
deemed as unnecessary the office will
be discontinued.
To solve the fuel question, a com
munity wood yard is to be established
opposite the school building, several
landowners have agreed to give some
waste timber and tree tops for this
purpose, which will give employment
both to cutters and workers who
will haul same.
Citizens will be reliably informed
as to the activities of the association
through these columns each week, as
a position of open dealing has been
taken by the chairman, and publicity
will be given to all branches of the
work. The cooperation of all citizens
in reporting open positions and work
of any kind to the chairman^ John
Lewis and Wiley Dildy, chairman of
the employment agency, is requested. <
The immediate need is for clothing, .
and the association asks t cloth- j
ing or materials be sent in at once. ,
New Chevrolet Goes
On Display Saturday
New Model Has Refine
Shown in Cars of Much
Higher Price Range
Chevrolet's new car for 1932 goes
Ml display Saturday at dealer show
rooms throughout the nation.
Embodying silent syncro - mesh
:ransmission in combination with se
lective free-wheeling, a twenty per
:ent increase in power, top speed of
35 vj 70 miles an hour, streamline
todies and a wealth of other new fea
tures, the new car remains in the
price range of the current series, the
lowest at which a Chevrolet has ever
3old. - . ? ?. :
Heralded as "The Great American
Value for 19.32," the car boasts more
extensive changes than any annual
Chevrolet model since the change
over .to a six in 1928. Yet changes
are mostly refinements over the ba
sic design of the 1931 car, which,
from the standpoint of public accep
tance, was the most successful i'j the
history of the company, and brought
Chevrolet first place in the industry
during the highly competitive market
of the past twelve mouths.
Practically every proven automo
tive leature of recent years is incor
porated in the new J.932 Chevrolet,
as well as a new "stabilized" front,
end construction embodied for the
first time on any car. Outstanding
improvements in the '32 line over
last year's models are down draft
carburetion, counter balanced crank
shaft, smaller wheels and larger tires,
radically changed front end appear
ahoe, "finger touch' front seat ad
justment, cowl ventilator on all mod
els, hood doors instead of louvres, im
proved clutch and an additional cross
member in the frame.
The 21 domestic plants are now
busy producing the new line. The
stimulus to employment in the Chev
rolet organization, in affiliated Fish
er body plants and among independent
Sff Kfl %?7
suppliers made possible by the intro-.1
duction of the car, it is cohservative- (
ly estimated, will add to the earnings !
of 200,000 people. *
Twelve standard body styles are in *
the line this year, three open and nine 1
closed Fisher bodies, all in new Duco '
color combinations and all with smart
new features. In addition, eight
models also are available with deluxe
equipment, making possible individu
ality of ownership and providing se
lection from twenty different types.
Of the mechanical changes, the out
standing one is the new transmission
unit, which is entirely Chevrolet
built, and is said to combine for the
first time in any car the combination ]
of syncro-mesh with simplified free
wheeling as standard equipment at
no extra cost. Free wheeling is pro
vided- by an overrunning clutch, en
gaged at the discretion of the driver
by a control button on the fcstrument
panel. This optional feature enables
the driver to utilized the full braking
power of the engine if he desires, and 1
to use the free wheeling feature only ]
when traffic conditions make it de- ;
sirable. i
While the wheelbase remains at ]
109 inches, the car looks longer than 1
last year, lower, speedier and more ]
powerful, promises borne out by the \
greatly improved power plant.
The most striking change in exte- |
rior appearance is the new front end, <
which has been completely redesigned
this year. 1
The new stabilized front end :
mounting is an important feature of i
the new car. In conventional mount- :
ing the radiatpr, fenders and head
lamps aire supported from the sides <
of the frame, and in driving over
rough roads the front end weaves and
vibrates. This is annoying to occu
pants of the car and frequently re
sults in the origin of squeaks and
rattles at points of stress.
In the new Chevrolet, the fenders,
radiator and headlamptf ane carried

Farmville Host
Large Union Meeting
-
Nearly Four Hundred
Primitive Baptists Con
vene Here
r
' X ''* ' '
' * ?'' ' >? ?*' " ?v,
Despite the inclement weather. - a
cold, dense mist making of Saturday
and Sunday exceedingly " grey and
dreary days, nearly 400 Primitive
Baptists, delegates and visitors, were
in attendance at the Union Meeting
held at Damascus church here, which
had not been host at such an occa
sion in 16 years.
The Union, which is composed of
23 churches, comprising the counties
of Wayne ,Greene, Pitt, Lenoir and
portions of Wilson and Pamlico, was
held in the spacious new church, re
cently built and handed over as a
gift to the congregation by R. L. D&->
vis, pioneer citizen, who is well be
loved and known as Farmville's
"Grand Old Man." Though not a
professed member of this denomina
tion, he is a regular attendant, seldom
visiting any other church.
The church, which was dedicated
some months ago, is constructed of
red brick, the exterior being ornate
yet not pretentious, and is furnished
with the simplicity required by the
laws of this religious body, which
views the use of musical instruments
with some disapproval. However,
the melodious and harmonious rendi
tion of the old familiar hymns, led
oy E. A. Stanfield, a former singing
master, was most inspiring and soul
satisfying, and contributed much to
the success of the meeting.
The Union began on Saturday *
morning with five preachers present,
:he introductory sermon being deliv
ered by Elder J. E. Mewborn, at 11
j'clock, with the text, "Judgment
must begin at the house of God." El
jer W. E. Grimes, of Williamston,
ilso spoke prior to the business ses
sion.
There were seven preachers pres
ent on Sunday morning when Elder
jrimes opened the meeting, the first
speaker being S. B. Denny, pastor of
she Wilson church, who preached a
strong sermon, taking as his subject,
'The Repentant Thief." Elder J. B.
Etoberta, of Greenville, pastor of the
ocal church, also spoke in the morn
ng on the text, "Do thyBelf no harm,
ve are all here." Dinner was served
n Hobgood's warehouse at the noon
lour.
The meeting reconvened at 2
j'clock, a session of song preceding
;he sermon by Rev. Kearney, of
iVayne county, who dwelt on the sov
ereignty of God. The Union, said by
many to have been one of the best
leld in recent years, closed with
rommunion services.

iperation of the public to lessen mis
laps.
He 3aid, "Each year, as greater
service is required of the automobile,
:ertain tests and adjustments become
lecessary. Accidents, Other than
hose caused by reckless driving,

ilinding headlights, fauly brakes, im
lerfections in the steering mechan
sm, and worn out tires. Those defi
riencies must be remedied just as the
?eckless driver must be ruled from

Alertness on the part of the high
way parol in detecting imperfect

ing for the Thanksgiving holidays
and will continue selling until a few !
days before Christmas, reopening as 1
usual after the Christmas season.
The market has its double set of
buyers as formerly with all com- 1

breaks are expected today and for 1
Friday. 1
.The four local warehouses have en- 1

The Farmville Rotary Club held its 1
regular meeting on Tuesday evening. <
A fried chicken supper was enjoyed 1
after which business was disposed of !
and football tickets for the charity
?ame in Durham next Saturday were <
Offered for sale. None were bought, '
aowever. * s
The program proved to be one of 1
the most enjoyable of the year. Af- s
xr a few sleight of hand tricks, starr- '
ing Cliff Hodges, several talks were J
made along the .following order:
J. I. Morgan told how he would )
conduct the office of town clerk if he 1
aad Richard Joyner's office, while 1
diis was answered by Richard Joy- '
aer as to how he would manage the
ail mill if he should suddenly find <
mmself manager of that concern. 1
31iff Hodges said that if he were a 1
lentist, he would not charge so much ?
is some of them do and he would try 1
lot to hurt the patients inextract- 1
:ng teeth, while Paul Jones suggest- <
;d that Cliff change his method of
collecting from the first of the <
month to the thirty-first. Bill Smith
stated that a good banker would not
isk so many questions of a prospec
;ive borrower, would not requve so
much collateral for a small loan and
wrould not put on so many service (
charges, while Dave Oglesby thought 1
;hat a good groceryman would cease 1
;o sell wrapping paper along with {
products that cost 20 cents per pound, 1
ind would cut the bones out of the 1
meat before turning it over to the {
customers. McAdams thought that J
