FLYING CIRCUS AND w* * ** i /iiTTrmn TTTUDDD Qp||p fajtialilux?? ?pulurjcmv jlulmm*w OVER THE WEEK EMD Captain Ed Brachenborough and his crew of dare devils will entertain | here over the week end, bringing to Farmville one of the most sensation al shows of the age. Captain Brachenborough is one of the few real outstanding Air Aces of the World War, and is still ac quainted in North Carolina. He has, in the past few years, made a great number of friends while stay ing in this territory, and a large crowd is expected to come out and witness his exhibition of war- time maneuvers, stunt flying, and other acrobatics. While Captain Brachenborough will generously entertain with stunts and acrobatic flying, he will not car? ry any passengers for anything but a nice long and safe level flight. The outstanding feature of the afternoon, however, will be the sen sational and death defying parachute jump by Dusty Bunarde, who will jump out of an airplane ' at the height of 6000 feet, and attempt to land in front of the crowd, equipped with a parachute. Mr. Bunarde holds many world records. There being no admission charges, a large crowd is expected. "WWT1SRYILLE WINS DOUBLE HEADER FROM FARMV1LLE (By Gene Horton) The basketball* season has recently begun in th? Famville High school. Friday night both the boys' team and ' the girls' team went to WinteTville. In a hard fought game the Winter ? ville girls won by a score of 82 to 8. I Rouse and Barnes were the outstand ing players for Winterville and Drake Through State Capital Keyholes By Bess Hinton Silver TOUCHDOWNS Congressman Walter Lambeth has scored with thousands of North Carolina home-owners who had filed application for loans with the Home Owners Loan Corporation but whose papers had not reached the legal di vision at the time the HOLC order stopping applications came through. Representative Lambeth bucked the line in Washington and there are hopes that he will lead the home owners to victory. There has been much criticism of the HOLC in this State. Senator Robert R. Reynolds and Congressman .Frank .Hancock made it so hot that Alan S. O'Neal was given the gate and Scott Noble placed in charge of HOLC adminis tration in North Carolina. Con-1 gressman Lambeth is suspected in many quarters of having his eye on the Blount Street Mansion in Ral eigh.*'.;. r v? '?: ? ;' . . j SERVES AGAIN The appointment of James L. Mc Nair, Laurinburg, -capitalist, and sportsman, as a member of the Board of Conservation and Development has brougnt praise xruiu 3|>vi wutw. | passing through Raleigh enroute east for duck, goose, quail, deer, and bear hunting. Mr. McNair is a for mer member of the Old State High way Commission and himself points a wicked shotgun and baits a tempt ing hook. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT The electric chair at State's prison is going to get some attention from the coming Legislature. Dr. Charles A. Peterson, prominent Spruce Pine physician and Republican member of the House from Mitchell county, is expected to" introduce a bill to change the method from the electric chair to death in a lethal gas chamber. It is also expected that efforts will be made to give judges power to impose life imprisonment sentences in cases where the jury returns a verdict of guilty of a capital offense but recommends mercy. That would untie judges hands from the manda tory death sentence and take a great load off the Governor and his Parole CommissioqeR - S--;' - AUTO TAGS Efforts are going to be made in the General Assembly to reduce the price of State automobile license tags instead of diverting highway money to other purposes. The mo torists will like that but not the poli ticians who want to collect from -* /v*TTnnt? nnr) tbe uncomplaining tai "Vnuvx w-- . spend the money elsewhere to avoid other more unpopular taxes. The highway department is also going to need several millions to repair roads and put them back in the con dition they were two years ago when the Legislature pot legal limits on how much of the motorists' money could be spent for the purpose for which it was collected. <* . RESTORATION With continued increases in liv ing costs and some increase in State general fund revenues it is now be lieved in many informed quarters on Capitol Hill that school teachers and other State employes stand a good chance of having some of their base salaries restored by the General As smbly. It's been lean pickings for State hired help for the past two years. RANG THE BELL Last week Keyholes told you that Capus M. Waynick, who has resign ed his post as North Carolina Direc tor of the Federal Reemployment program to return to editorial desk on the High Point Enterprise, might get another public appointment. Be fore some papers had the opportuni ty to publish that item Mr. Waynick was appointed Assistant Chairman of the State Highway and Public Works Commission, clothed with all the powers held by the Chairman, E. B. Jeffress, who has been critically ill for two months anil is not ex pected to recover. Just another oc casion when Keyholes was ahead of the news although confidential in formation prevented publication of the whole story. K||| HOME-RUN Governor Ehringhaus hit one over the fense when he appointed Capus Waynick Assistant Chairman of the Highway and Public Commission. It is expected that he will succeed Mr. Jeffress as Chairman and that keeps this important job in the populous Piedmont section. In addition the Assistant Chairman will appear be fore legislative committees next ses sion and that's where he shines. He made ah excellent record in the 1981 j House of Representatives and in the 1933 Senate and enjoys the confl 'I petent appointments in line with po litical wisdom. Such a charge will no longer hold water with those who specialize in the gentle art of poli tics. HOLDING HIS HORSES Lieutenant Governor A. H. (Sandy) Graham isn't in any hurry to start his campaign for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in the pri maries of 1936. The Lieutenant Governor is first concerned with making a record as presiding officer of the-im Senate. He well knows that announcement of his candidacy for any other political office would cast the > shadow of suspicion on his every act during that session. Hell make up his mind about running for Governor after surveying his own record as second in command. But you can jot this down on your cuff? Sandy Graham is not a dead ispue in North Carolina politics ? watch him. JUST OPINION Several legislative veterans drift ing into Raleigh for one reason or another recently have expressed the opinion that the 1935 session will not last more than ninety days. These men point out that conditions which kept the boys in the Capital City for more than four months dur ing the past two sessions have just about vanished. The sales tax held the 1981 session long overtime. In 1933 closing of the banks gummed up the works. It is pretty geneVally agreed that the sales tax, enacted in 1933, will remain on the books and no banking holiday is expected to upset the applecart If that specu lation is correct members of the Gen eral Assembly may not have to write home for their Palm Beach suits be fore sine lie adjournment RELIEF The question of State contribution tq the federal relief program may not bother the General Assembly quite as much as anticipated. The federal government is going to in sist that the several States kick In on caring for those without employ ment but does not specify that State governments must do all the chip ping in. It is entirely probable that the matter may be settled on a coun ty basis with each local unit kicking in its share. In that event the State would not have to raise so much in taxes for relief. Many counties hav ing few persons on relief rolls might favor county rather than State re lief taxes. At least that's what some people having reputations for seeing beyond their noses believe. F; I CHILD LABOR One question that is sure to bob up in the coming session of the Leg islature that has received but a mite of attention is the child labor amend ment to the federal constitution. So far 20 States have ratified thisi pro posed 22nd amendment but North Carolina is not among them. Dmt be surprised if Governor Ehringhaqs recommends ratification in his ad\ dress to the General Assembly. North Carolina has not been so hot for changes in the federal basic law but those who visit behind the scenes do not anticipate lay serious trou ble* for the child labor proposal which has the extra-special blessing of the Roosevelt administration, M LocalMaa Favors Bankhead Bill ? ? ? % ? ; Thome Says Farmers Will Benefit by Con tinuing the Act Raleigh, Dec. 12.?A resolution favoring continuation of the Bank head Act during 1935 with "certain needed changes" was adopted here by the board of directors of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Co operative Association at the Decem ber meeting. The resolution pointed out that the act should be more flexible ' to meet individual cases and that espe cially it should be more lenient on the small producers, the one and two bale farmers. "No one will deny, however, that the adjustment program of the Bank head Act has helped to give farm ers a better price for their cotton this year," said John T. Thome, of Farmville, who attended the Decem ber meeting of the board of direc tors. > "And after discussion of the ques tion from all angles," he added, "our board came to the conclusion that farmers would be benefitted by con-i tinuing the act for at least another year with certain needed changes which AAA officials now have under advisement." At the board meeting. M. G. Mann, general manager of the cotton asso ciation, reported that the coopera tive has advanced to members near ly $4,000,000 for cotton so far this year and that deliveries are still coming in nicely. This is an in crease of nearly a million and a half dollars over the same time last year. I ?

All news items should be in the hands of the editors by Thursday noon. Sanla Glaus To Arrive Here By Plane Sat. Noon Good and faithful old St Nick is up and about again, going through the country, spreading joy and cheer, and on his annual route is schedul ed to stop at Farmville at 12:00 noon, Saturday, December 15. He will jump from his airplane with his parachute and land on the football grounds, adjacent to the swimming pool, where he will be met by a committee, one of his co pilots, and ALL OF THE KIDDIES, big and little. Everybody in the entire community is expected to be on hand to greet Santa. 4 Upon landing Santa Claus will parade through town and take all the children and their parents into the stores and show them what he has for them this Christmas. Inasmuch as he can come only once a year on his Goodwill Tour it is almost certain that everyone, who can possibly do so, will be at the landing field Saturday to shake hands with him and follow him around, to see just what he has in store for good chillun this year. The weather man has promised to pro vide good weather on that day, the whole town is dressing up in antici pation of Santa's visit with garlands, wreaths, evergreens and brilliant illumination, and everybody is wish ing for him Godspeed and a happy landing. Graham It Deliver Memorial Address ' * Will Pay Tribute To Dr. Robert H, Wright Sun day at Greenville Greenville, Dec. 13.?Dr. Frank Graham, president of the University, will deliver the memorial address at the memorial services for the late Dr. Robert H. Wright, which will be held in the Campus Building of East Carolina Teachers College on next Sunday afternoon, December 16, at 3 o'clock. The services will be marked by simplicity and dignity, as fitting the character and life of the man him self. The staff and students of the in stitution to which, he devoted his life and which stands as a monu ment to him, the people of the community he served in many ways, and personal friends and citizens from a distance who value the great work he did for the State and for education, will gather to do honor to his memory. The music will be furnished by the college students, two songs by the student body, and one by the Glee Club. The committee from the staff who has charge of the plans is composed of the following members: Messrs. M. L. Wright, R. C. Deal, M. K Fort, A. D. Frank, P. W. Pickle si mer, H. C. Haynes, A. C. Forties and Misses Kate Lewis, Lorraine Hunter, Ola Ross Gussie Kuyken dall, Alice Wilson, Annie L. Morton.

The com norial Loan illy on the i work for h ? Thit will Reveals Outline Of Tobacco Plan For 1935 _ _ - - The Recommendations of Advisory Commit tee May Govern Next Flue-Cured Crop Washington, Dec. 12.?The advis ory committee of flue-cured tobacco growers today reommended to the Agricultural Adjustment Adminis tration a program for 1935 which it was stated in official quarters, will be very closely followed in the pro gram to be announced by the ad ministration within the next few days. The program calls for a limit of 85 per cent, of base production. with 5 per cent, tolerance, so tha.. votal production may be about equal to present consumption. Growers plant ing the full 90 per cent., however, will receive only half the benefits given those planting only 85 per cent. Ninety per cent, under the allotments, which carry several op tions, is about 100 per cent, of the three-year average for 1931-33. The recommendations follow in A_11 . iau: (1) That the initial acreage and production allotment for 1935 be 85 per cent of the base acreage and production allotment as established under the contracts. 2() That an acreage tolerance of not more than 5 per cent, be allowed in checking compliance and that growers whose acreage exceeds their allotment by not more than 5 per cent, receive one-half as much total rental payment as those whose acre age does not exceed 85 per cent of the ba se acreage. (3) That adjustment be made in the base acreage and production of a limited number of contracting growers whose base acreage and pro duction are exceptionally low as compared with those of other farm ers operating under similar condi tions, with a view of making the program fit the largest possible num ber of farms in an equitable manner. (4) That allotments be made in January, 1935, to non-contracting growers who are to receive tax pay ment warrants pursuant to the Kerr Smith Tobacco Act, which will ex empt them from the payment of the tax. The act provides that the Sec retary of Agriculture may issue in any county a limited number of tax payment warrants to non-contract ing tobacco growers who could not obtain an equitable allotment under contracts* (5) The committee also endorsed the policy of allowing eligible grow ers who did not sign contracts in 1934 to sign contracts for 1935, and recommend that the full tax rate of 38 1-3 per cent permitted under the Kerr-Smith Tobacco Act be levied on the production of outside grow ers in 1935. 1 (6) The committee also recom mended that the future program to be offered^ Jo the flue-cured to bacco growers be prepared just as spon as the details can be worked out taking into consideration the correction of the inequalities that have developed in the old contract and the additional legislation thought necessary.

MUSEUM OBTAINS METEORITE IN PITT Raleigh, Dec. 12.?-A 40-pound fragment of the meteor that fell in the Eastern part of North Carolina on December 5 was found near Farmville yesterday by Harry Davis, curator of geology for the State Museum, and was brought to Ral eigh. The fragment will be shipped to the national museum in Washington where it will be cut into smaller "slices" for study. Part of the me teorite will be placed there and part of it returned to the mdseum here, it was reported.
