Plymouth Is to Have Next Meeting Club women, numbering 275, and representing all of the 23 clubs in the 15th District, which boasts of 663 members in the 14 towns it comprises, were in attendance here on Tuesday at one of the most successful district meetings held in the State, and the second largest held in the District this year. Answering the roll call were repre sentatives from every town in the dis trict, including Aurora, Ayden, Bath, Colermin, Farmville, Fountain, Green ville, Plymouth, Powellsville, Swan Quarter, Williamston and Windsor. The meeting, convening in the Methodist Church at ten o'clock, was opened with the singing of the Club Woman's Hymn, led by Mrs. J. M. Hobgood, and the invocation, offered by Rev. L. R. Ennis. Mrs. D. R. Morgan, president of the Farmvijle Woman's Club, welcomed the visitors and presented Federation and District officers with corsages from the Garden Department. The response was given by Mrs. 0. L. Williams, District vice-president The report of the District president Mrs. C. W. Beasley, of Colerain, re vealed splendid achievements of the past year, outlined objectives for the club year just beginning, and includ ed an announcement of success in ef forts to have all dues and pledges to the Sallie Southall Cot ten Loan Fund in this district paid by the day of the meeting. Featuring the program of splen did addresses was that of Mrs. George E. Marshall, president of the State Federation of Woman's Clubs, who spoke on the subject perhaps closer to the heart of club women, who re alize the prevailing conditions, thai, any other, "Crime and Youth To day." -4-1? -?' ? A aa ft .Efesenting ;ne crime ? ? challenge to the women of America,. who are responsible for the goidance of youth, Mrs. Marshall stated that j records reveal the appalling fact that; more criminals are being supported j by the government than soldiers in ! the standing army of the United ! States. The Federation president listed as : iontributing factors to this wave of j crime, the idleness of youth; low: standards of ideals in the home and a . general tendency to disregard the law; degrading environment; public tol erance of connivance between politi cians and gangdom, and offered as j remedies fewer laws, comprehensive j and well enforced; law enforcement j agencies freed from hand of politics; | suitable places of detention; prena-j tal care for mothers; better environ ment; co-operation with State and! Federal welfare and health agencies, and proper recreation for character building. She concluded with an appeal to. club women to "make the needs of j your community a part of your pro- ? gram for better living, and assist in launching an active crusade in behalf of youth." The most impressive portion of^the program perhaps, was that de voted to the" recognition of past dis-. trict presidents, at which time Mrs. Baasley paid a loving tribute to the late Mrs. Sallie Southall Cot ten, "Mother of the State Federation," and a prominent clubwoman, who lived at j Cottendale, eight miles from Farm At the conclusion of her re-1 TM4V? ??> . marks, Mrs. Beasley presented a bas- { ket of white flowers from the Farm ville Woman's Club, which was or ganized by Mrs. Cotten (with Mrs. J., M. Hob good as first president), a de cade ago, to be placed on her grave. The district president then intro duced the seven past district presi dents in attendance: Miss Annie Per kins and Mrs. J. M. Hobgood, Farm ville; Mrs. V. A. Ward, Roberson ville; Mrs. C. J. Sawyer, Windsor; Mrs. D. W. Clark, Greenville; Mrs. W. S. Carawan, Columbia, and Mrs. B. G. Campbell, Plymouth, presenting each of them with a shoulder corsage of red roses, significant of the living mother. A moment of silence was requested by Mrs. Beasley, during which the members were requested to bow their heads in tribute to "Mother Cotten," and in appreciation of the work done by the past district presidents. Mrs. F. M. Dunstan, of Windsor, general Federation contact chairman, in her report, brought greetings and outlined some of the late plans of the General Federation. Brief reports from the 16 senior and e junior clubs in the district revealed the wide range of interests and activities of these women, who, engaged in club work, are helping to solve problems of State and Nation. Mm John D. Robinson, of Wallace, chairman of districts in the State Federation, discussed departments, work of the Federation and paid ? v trihsta to ths Junkr dubs, tendon MRS. a W. BE AS LEY of Colersin, N. C. President 15th District, N. C. F. W. C. of which had made splendid reports just prior to her address. She stated that "Junior Clubs are avenues of ex pression and of service to humanity," and spoke of their work as philan thropic, for, as she said, "They live the Golden Rule." A history of the 15th District was read by Miss Tabitha DeVisconti, pres ident of the Farmville Literary Club and historian of the district, which gave recognition to the signal serv ice rendered the women of North Car olina by Mrs. Cotten and Mrs. J. M. Hobgood, former president of the Federation and district chairman, and Miss Annie Perkins, a former Federa tion secretary and district chairman also, the last two being Farmville wo men, who are prominent in club work. A musical program was render ed by Mrs. J. Sterling Gates, Mrs. J. W. Joyner, Mrs. A. Q. Roebuck, Mrs. Clifford Bostic, Mrs. John D. Holmes and Mrs. J. R. Shearin, with Mrs. Haywood Smith as accompanist. A round-table discussion was led by Mrs. John D. Robinson, and a quiz on the constitution of the Federation was conducted by Mrs. George E. Marshall. ? - ? J - J Al Mrs. U. L. Williams awaraeu me attendance prize of gavels, which have to be won three times before they may be retained by a club, to the Columbia Woman's Club, which re ported 22 women and 11 Juniors in attendance, and their miles as 107, and to the Colerain Juniors, which had six members, 93 miles from home. The district accepted the invitation of the Plymouth Club to hold the next annual meeting there. A luncheon for the clubwomen was served in the basement dining room following adjournment. The luncheon, held for the Juniors in the Christian Church basement and attended by 70 members, was a fes tive occasion. Mrs. Jesse Moye, pres ident of the Farmville Juniors, pre sided, and Mrs. G. S. Vought, sponsor, made a talk. Highlights of the program were ad dresses by Mrs. B. C. Campbell, State Junior chairman, and Mrs. 0. L. Will iams, district vice-president. VocaJ selections were rendered by. Mrs. Clif ford Bostic, accompanied by Mrs. F. E. Davis. Corsages marked the places of the honor guests, and favors were pumpkin-designed booklets con taining the program and menu. This was the first time that a sep arate luncheon for the Juniors had been attempted and the efforts of the Farmville Juniors received hearty commendation and endorsement from Federation officials. North Carolina May Get Another Congressman I Washington, Oct. 28.?North Caro i lina appears in a fair way of winning an additional seat in the House of Representatives after the 1940 census is taken, according to population es timates released today by Secretary of Commerce Roper. Existing laws require that House seats be reapportioned to the states upon the basis of the 1940 population count. The Census Bureau estimates made I public this week by Secretary Rope) i placed North Carolina's population a1 j 3,457,000 on last July first This rep resented an increase of 286,724 per sons, or more than nine per cent since the last census taken in 1930. In the ; country as a whole, on the other hand the population has gained only 4.6 pei cent since 1930. When the last reapportionment wai made it was based upon the 1930 cen : SU8 and North Carolina was entitle) to 11 and a fraction House seats. I the population gain continues to be s I much greater in North Carolina thai generally as it has been since 193C 1 then the State would appear likel; ? to be entitled to at least 12 Hous 1 seats when the next apportionment i made upon the 1940 population count t ?

North Carolina is leading the five states with approximately $400,000 received to date. The collections are now coming in at the rate of about $50,000 a day and a new high mark was reached when $75,000 was received in a single day last week, the report stated.

D. R. WHAT THE WRITER THINKS Two weeks ago the writer promised to give a final survey of tie presiden tial campaign, with an indication, if possible, of the result This i* not easy to do because of a number of factors which were discussed at that time. Moreover, the reader should understand the difficulty of sizing up a political campaign out of a mass of conflicting evidence. It is common to discover that train ed political observers, after special trips to "close" states, come away with opposite opinions. Moreover, there is no general agreement among the various polls being conducted. That of the Institute of Public Opin ion definitely presages the reelection of President Roosevelt, with a hint that his electoral collet majority may be overwhelming. On the other hand, the Literary Digest pdll, which enjoys quite a reputation, if just as overwhelming in favor of Landon. The Croesley poll, published in Hearst newspapers and other journals, seems somewhat iwHnnj to the g**"f can didate, although its percentage figures are promising to the President There have been other polls but most of them are local or state af fairs, conducted by certain newspap ers. Two which pretend to national coverage are those of The American Press, taken by a number of county seats newspapers, and that of the Farm Journal. The American Press poll is inconclusive because, while it represents the votes of a number of readers of small newspapers, they are in scattered areas. The Farm Jour nal poll is top-heavy with returns from a limited number of states. Both of these polls, it should be noted, give a majority for Governor Landon. The poll of the Literary Digest has been subjected to critical analysis in spite of its successful predictions in the past While it shows a strong margin for the Kansas, its last report available at this time, does not in clude the ballots from the largest cities of the nation, where Democrats assert the President will receive large majorities. Moreover, the poll itself demonstrates that a majority of those voting cast ballots for Herbert Hoover in 1982 when everyone knows that President Hoover won by a ratio of three to two. For this reason, it is obviously impossible to definitely as sign a value to the figures in the Di gest poll from New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio and other states. Naturally, the outcome of any fore cast is clouded when there is no guide from such large states. On* of the contributing reasons for doubts as to the Literary Digest poll was the effort of the Baltimore Sun to ascertain the intentions of the rot* era of Maryland. A ballot was mailed to each registered voter of that State, with the result that Roosevelt obtain ed 63.99 per cent, Land on 85.38 per cent and the minor candidates less than 1 per cent This was based on the return of 274,742 ballots, more than one-third of the total number of registered voter*. By comparison the Digest figures, based, on 31,822 ballots, gat? Roosevelt 52 per cent London 45 per cent and the minor can didates 2 per cent (The fractions make up the missing one per cent) Obviously, both poll# cannot be cor rect The Baltimore Sun came out against the President during the poll i and this removes any idea that the I; poll was conducted with undue favor toward him. f s ?

Many Individual Aver ages Go Sky High; Sell Rest of Your Crop In Farmville for Good Prices Another heavy break on Monday, followed by lighter breaks during the middle of this week, have together brought totals for the season's pound age in excess of the fifteen million mark. Around five million pounds less had been sold at this time last season, and with a much smaller per cent of the crop disposed of at that recording. For the past thtee weeks, sales on Monday, following! the week-end, have shown the highest averages of the season, $27.00 per hundred. Official figures for Monday of this week, show that 580,420 pounds were sold on this market for $156,695.33, aver age $27.00, in one of the most satis factory sales of the season. Splendid averages have been made this week by a number of growers on the Farmville market, and prices are holding up well. Sales during the past week totalled 1,690,586 pounds, which brought $426,468.73, an aver age of $25.33, the highest weekly av erage of the season. It is expected when figures are compiled this week that that record will be beatea Continuing its steady upward climb, the general average reached $22.90 on Thursday of this week, when sales brought the season's poundage to 15, 262,603 and receipts to $3,495,224.91. Tobacco growers, who wish to ob tain the highest amount possible for their offerings, should bring the rest of their crop to Farmville, where a cordial welcome awaits them at each of the four warehouses, and where the highest dollar will be obtained for them. Local tobacconists do not antici pate any more blocked sales this sea son, and so, they are advising farmers to grade and sell their weed on the Farmville market as early as possible. Pitt REA Cooperative Raises Loan Request The Pitt County Electric Mem bership Corporation, a co-operative intended to promote rural electrifica tion in Pitt and Greene counties, has increased its request for a Federal loan to finance its projects, at the suggestion of the Federal Rural Elec trification Administration.

C., Oct. 29.?Four members of the North Carolina State Commission to study the control of alcoholiq beverages conferred with the State Tax Commission today on Sooth Carolina's liquor law enacted in 1935. Chairman W. G. Query said the South Carolina commission explained the merits and workings of the State law as fully as possible. The North Carolina board is investigating com parative features of several State li quor control systems. "The North Carolina chainnan," Query commented, "seems to bb con cerned primarily with the promotion of temperance.
