Mcintosh Appointed To
Head Youth
Mcintosh Explain*]
Youth Program to Col
lege Heads ? North
Carolina Youth to
Benefit ? Cooperation
Pledged.
Raleigh, September 4 ? State
Works Progress Administration Ad
ministrator, George W. Coan, Jr.,
has appointed Mr. C. E.-Mcintosh of
Chape) Hill, State Director of Edu
cation. Mr. Mcintosh also directs the
National Youth Administration for
North Carolina.
Mr. Mcintosh is well known to
North Carolinians as an educator
and as a former assistant dean at
the State University. He has de
voted many years to the study of
the problems of youth, particularly
those dealing with education. He is
well equipped in every way for this
new work which is such a vital im:
I?ortant part of the Works Progress
Administration program for North
Carolina.
Last week upon his return from
Washington, he called a meeting of
University and College authorities
in Greensboro. He told this meeting
of his recent conference in Wash
ington with the National Youth Ad- ]
ministration leaders and of the stress
President Roosevelt laid on the im
portance of Youth Training. Plans
and purposes were explained in de
tail so that every one present might
cooperate in offering the youth of
this state the full benefits and op
portunities of the program. He ex- 1
pressed the hope -that the youth of <
North Carolina would take full ad- i
vantage of every opportunity offered.
All North Carolina Educational In
stitutions of college level operated
on a non-profft- basis may select 12
per cent of their 1934 enrollment to
share in Federal Aid offered. No ap
plicant will receive aid who is fi
nancially able to secure his or her
education without help. Only thoee
who would otherwise be unable to at
tend, will be helped. The amount of
aid that may be secured is adjusted
to the individual case. It is expected
. that the average monthly amount al
lowed will -not exceed $12.05 to
$15. A maximum mouthy allowance
slightly in excess of this amount is
available in very extreme and de
serving cases. The aid given stu
dents is not a loan but is e direct
grant, and is made in return for
specific duties to be outlined by the
college authorities and performed by
fhe student seeking aid. Mr. Mcin
tosh called especial attention to the
fact that all students seeking aid
should apply direct to the institution
they elect to enter and not to his
office. Only those s^pdents with
good records and qualifications win
receive help, and they will be ex
pected to maintain the frigh standard
set heretofore by students receiving
Federal aid.
High school boys and girls are
also offered assistance by this Ad
ministration. Children between six
teen and twenty-live years of age
whose parents, were on May 1935 Be
lief Bolla are eligible for aid. Seven
per cent of thoee enrolled who show
promise and a desire to continue
their education may receive Federal
aid up to an amount not to exceed
$6.00 per month. It was pointed out
that the school superintendent was
the person to wbdm application for
1 ? * ? ? * ? _c-_ v _
aid siiouid w mma.
-Mr. Mcintosh ?also states that the i
Works Progress Administration :
hopes to eophjr 12 to 15 hundred i
teachers from Relief Rolls this win
ter. He explained that they would be
paid the security wage, and would be
used largely in teaching adutt^ ,
Reading, writing, arithmetic and
other studies would be takes up by
these adult classes.
The importance of all educators,
and others interested, acquainting
themselves with the program was
stressed If the youth of North Caro
lina is to receive the full benefits of
this great Works Progress Admin
istration Program tbey^must hare
full information and directions as to
how to proceed in their efforts to se
cure aid. ifr^Kdbtosh pledged full
<-aad complete cooperation of himself
and his staff in assisting the youth
of North Carolina to secure this Fe<?
%- eral aid in continuing and completing
their education.

Market Week

Better Grades Scarce
and Price Unchanged;
1 Sales Continue Heavy
;in Spight of Much Rain
The second week of the current sea
eon began on the Farmyille tobacco
market Monday, with-offerings, which
poured onto the four floors of the
troTwhrmfc hfyy thnipghftiit Saturday
and Sunday, going well over the mil
lion mark in poundage, the record
average of the si*. ^day season being
made when 543,174 pounds*were dis
posed of for $110,669.99, which push
ed the average up to $20.37.
The Mock was cleared Tuesday
when 527,352 pounds were auctioned
at prices, which brought growers
$104,559.87.
Following the two heavy sales and
intermittent rains that of Wednesday
was revealed as much lighter, a total
of 319,062 pounds bringing an aver
age of $19.05 per hundred weight
An overwhelming amount of in
ferior grades have held the.market's
average down considerably and the
Crop Control Board has-issued an ap
peal insisting that growers sell only
the grades bringing twelve cents a
pound and over, thus holding to their
individual allotments and taking ad
vantage of the benefit payments offer
ed by the government, besides taking
millions of pounds off the market.
Oficial figures far the, first week
ending Friday showed (a total of lr
601,446 pounds handled by this mar
ket, money paid out $814^205.89 and
the average $19.62.
During the same period last year
1,216,252 pounds were sold here for
$330,638.76 at an average of $27,1$.
? According to sales supervisor, J.
T. Bundy,. the market has sold to
date up to Thursday, 2,991,254
pounds for $591,811.16 at an average
of *19.79. ,
' In spite of heavy rainfall during
the past twenty-four hours, which
threatened to slow the movement of
tobacco in this section, capacity, sales
were experienced today, Hhursday,
with the poundage estimated at more
than a half million and prices ap
parently "unchanged. ,A change in the
weather will doubtless bring about
another heavy sale Friday.
I With a new warehouse and. lane
additions made to other leaf Jiousns
here, the Faravllle market , is better
prepared to take care of enormous
daily sales than ever before. This,
linked with the combined, effort* of
all the warehousemen to secure the
highest dollar for patrons and;, co
operation by the two splendid sets
of buyers, puts the Farmville mar
ket in a key position and 1935 is in
a fair way to be recorded as its. ban
ner season.
