Washington, Nov. 9.?The prospect
that the New Deal may seek to revive
AAA principles of crop control, ap
peared today to have been strength
ened by developments over the week
end.
While there was no official an
nooncements of intentions, officials
who deplored the death of AAA at
the hands of the Supreme Court were
believed to be highly gratified by the
unanimity with which a meeting of
farm leaders on Saturday demand
ed a return to the original agricul
tural fcdjustment program.
The development continued with re
cent forecasts by the agriculture de
partment that possible farm sur
pluses may lead to declining prices
next year was taken as an indica
tion that the administration may
make some new move along the lines
of production control. r
The farm leaders had been called
here to talk over an administration
proposal for federal crop insurance
designed to bolster the present soil
conservation program. The farm men
were lukewarm in their discussion of
this, relegating it to a distinctly sec
ondary status.
But they left a resolution with
President Roosevelt's crofc insurance
committee calling for "strengthening
of present programs" apd asserting
that no farm program could be per
manently effective unless it included
"means of controlling production and

noon, November 15th
???? |
The Farmville Symphonic Chorus,
which Lewis S. Bullock, well-known!
conductor, is directing, will present'
the first musical event of the season
here, a Community Sing, to which ev
erybody is invited, on Sunday after
noon, November 15, in the Methodist
Church, at 3:30 o'clock.
The Community Sing movement has
had a rapid growth throughout the
country, due to the realization of peo
ple in general that looking and listen
ing are not soul satisfying, but that
self-expression through vocal effort1
will tend to promote a happier spirit
and a more contented nation. Farm
ville is fortunate in having a Chorus,
which will further this worthy move
ment in this immediate section of the
State.
The program, as planned for Sun
day afternoon, will be varied and in
teresting as well as entertaining, an
outline of which is as follows: Invo
cation, choral response; Congrega
tion, "Come, Ye Thankful People,
Came;" Chorus, "Deep River," "Steal
Away,', "Swing Low, Sweet Chari
ot;" Choir First Baptist Church,
Goldsboro; "Bless The Lord, O My
Soul," "Cherubin Song"; Male quar
tet, "Go Down Moses"; Community
singing; Women's Chorus, "Calm As
The Night"; Male chorus, "Climb Up
Ye Chillun, Climb"; Chorus, "Largo";
"Lonely Appear, The Heavens Re
sound"; Congregation, "Day Is Dy
ing In The West"; Benediction.
The program, as has been stated
before, is to be given for the benefit
of the community, and there will be
no charge connected with the pre
sentation.
FARMVILLE GIRL IS
MAY QUEEN, FLORA
MACDONALD COL.
Red Springs, Nov. 11.?Miss Serene
Turiage, senior, of Farmville, was
sleeted May Queen by the student body
of Flora Macdonald College last week.
This mark of the high esteem in which
Miss Turnage 4s held by her fellow
students comes as a culmination of a
col liege career which has been filled
to overflowing with honors.
Miss Turnage, who will give her
graduating recital in piano in the
early spring, is ail unusually gifted
girl, and throughout her entire college
life her outstanding interests have
been connected with the musical ac
tivities of the college. She has been
a member of the College Glee Club
since her freshman year. In the
spring of her sophomore year, Miss
Turnage and Miss Lena Stewart, also
a junior, gave a two-piano recital of
outstanding merit from every stand
point In this, her senior year, she
has charge of the program of the
music club of the Conservatory, and is
entered for the Student Musicians'
Contest of the National Federation,
of which Dean Williamson is chair
man, to be held in April.
Miss Turnage's interests have not
been exclusively confined to the music
department, however. Beginning with
her freshman year, she has taken a
leading part in the May Day festiv
ities, last year acting the part of
Venus in the pageant, "Cupid and
Psyche." In her sophomore year she
was voted the most beautiful girl in
college, and it was that year that she
attended the debutante ball in Ral
eigh. Her junior year was packed
with interesting events. In April she
wos one of the two girls from Eastern
Carolina to act as page at the Nation
al Congress of the Daughters of the
American Revolution in Washington,
D. C. She was also a marshal her
junior year. This year she is presi
dent of the Zetesian Literary Society.
Miss Turnage has made an excel
lent record as a student, and her mu
sical talents, social chann, and at
tractive personality have endeared her
to her fellow students and the mem
bers of the faculty alike. She is a
'granddaughter' of the college, her
mother, Mrs. T. C. Turnage, being
an alumna of Flora Macdonald.

Raleigh, Nov. 10.?The advisory
budget commission, faced with re- !
quests to boost salaries of State em- 1
ployes to the 1929 level, heard evi- 1
dence yesterday that North Carolina's '
annual cost of caring for dependent
aged persons and children under the
social security act might run as high '
as $5,000,000.
Several of the administrative di
visions asked for substantial allot- '
ments to be used to match federal
funds which, they claimed, had been 1
promised North Carolina on condition 1
that the State would share the ex- 1
penses.
Mrs. W. T. Bost, head of the State (
Board of Charities and Public Wei- 1
fare, told the commission that, in the 1
event the General Assembly passes 1
laws to conform with the Federal So- 1
cial Security Act, North Carolina'b 1
share of the mothers' aid bills would
be "at least $1,302,000 a year." Old 1
age pensions would cost the State 1
a maximum of $3,449,600 a year, and
a minimum of half that amount, she
asserted.
She requested that the commission
set aside $320,000 as a new fund to
aid county welfare departments and
asked that $220,000 be allotted for
mothers' aid and assistance to de
pendent children during the next bi
ennium, compared to approximately
$75,000 for the biennium ending June
30, 1937.
In addition Mrs. Bost estimated it
would take $183,666 to run her' de
partment the next two years compar
ed to $67,159 appropriated in 1935.
A large portion of the increase, she
pointed out, would be used to con
tinue the "many services'* which the
board took over upon the liquidation
of the Federal emergency relief ad
ministration.
The revenue department asked for
a biennial appropriation of $932,
compared to $726,148. It was point
ed out that 23 additional men were
needed to audit sales and income tax
funds.
The motor vehicle department,
which receives an allotment of $369,
066 a year, asked for $862,468 annu
ally.

The 18th anniversary of the Ar

was the occasion today for pleas .for
everlasting peace as many nations
held commemorative exercises for fal
len heroes of the combat.
There were usual variances in the
manner of observances, but the 11th
hour of the 11th day of the 11th
month in each nation?the hour the
order?"cease firing" was issued in
1918?struck a common note.
Cathedrals, churches and syna
gogues drew millions to worship and
prayer. . There were parades with
martial music, reminiscent of the war
days.
To President Roosevelt, war-time
assistant Secretary of the Navy, and
General John J. Pershing, last sur

king Edward VIII, of England,
stood at the cenotaph, London's war

The "Popular Front" government
in France stationed guards in Paris
to stay possible clashes of political
rivals as Frenchmen marched in com
memoration.
Italy, which celebrated a week ago
the anniversary of the victory of the
Italian army over the Austrians in
L918, observed the 67th birthday of
King Victor Emmanuel. Fascist
troops paraded before the King and
Premier Mussolini.
In Belgium, King Leopold fastened

_ "In paying homage to those who
achieved victory by the sword, we

who marched with him, loved peace.
They fought fen: peace. To their sac

a Big^Lawsuit
Quintuplets' Doctor Is
i Sued for $1,000*000 for
Contract Breach
Chicago, Nov. 11.?Dr. Alan Hoy 1
Dafoe, medical adviser for the Dionne 1
quintuplets , was served with a sub- ^
poena in a $1,000,000 lawsuit a few 1
moments before he left for New York
aboard an air liner today.
The suit charged breach of con- '
tract and conspiracy to bring about a
breach of contract. !
Besides Dr. Dafoe and Dionne the 1
suit was directed against the three
guardians of the babies, appointed by '
the crown, and others who had enter- 1
ed into contracts for the right to ben- '
efit commercially from the children. *
The process server shouldered his *
way into the plane, posing as a pas- '
senver. He approached the Canadian <
doctor, and after the latter identified 5
himself the subpoena was served. 1
In the resulting confusion, the pro
cess server disappeared and his name
was not obtained. A moment later I
the plane took off for New York. ?
A spokesman for the airlines said 1
the summons was returnable before 1
Judge John Barnes in the U. S. Dis- 1
trict Court here. 1
A check of the district court clerk's '
office disclosed no action against the 1
doctor which had been filed recent
ly*
In February, 1935, a suit was filed
here against Olivia Dionne, father of
the quintuplets, and 15 other defend
ants, including Dr.. Dafoe, by Ivar
Spear, who claimed Dionne had en
tered into a contract with him to ex
hibit the babies at the Chicago

Payments Under Soil
Conservation Program
?Officials Plan to Al
ter Set-Up?Hope for a
Better AAA
Washington, Nov. 10.?Payment to
farmers under this year's soil conser
vation program, passed the first $1,
000,000 mark today while New Deal
officials laid plans or changes in fu
ture agriculture programs.
The first million dollars going to
farmers for shifting lands from major
crops to soil building growths is only
a small start in the flow of $470,000,
000 payments under this year's pro
gram. A total of $6,000,000 farm own
ers and operators are expected to re
ceive checks before the 1936 pay
ments are concluded.
New Deal leaders, an authoritative
source said, have already decided on
one change they will ask Congress
to make in the present farm act. The
existing law contemplates that by
1988 the states will have s^ up "48
AAA's" to take over the administra
tion of the program, but New Deal
era hope to have this provision scrap
ed, it Was said by informed persons.
Though a number of farm leaders
recently informed a presidential com
mittee-that they want a revival of
^invalidated AAA, under which the
federal government levies taxes en
processors -to pay farmers for Join
ing in production control plans, offl

Of Receipts Reach ?3,

age $22.92
With medium grades holding the
sudden spurt in prices, observed last
week, and higher types pleasing farm
ers well, low grades reported the
same, the Farmville market has al
most completed the eleventh week of
the current season.
The 17,000,000 mark was reached
with Wednesday's sale, that of Thurs
day bringing the season's totals to
17,119,671 pounds, and receipts to
?3,923,389.77, and t^e average ?22.92 '
per hundredweight.
Offerings this year are around 9,
>00,000 pounds below those of last'
season, due to the short crop of 1936,
mused by most unfavorable weather
conditions, which existed throughout
the planting, growing and housing
season. The drought, followed by ex
cessive rains, resulted in the poorest.
and shortest crop in this immediate
section, of many years. -
Despite the handicap, which occurs
when inferior quality of offerings
generally prevail in a community, the
Farmville tobacco market has steadily
maintained its record for high prices,
and managed to run neck and neck
with the other Eastern Carolina
markets throughout the entire sea
son, and grade for grade has sold
tobacco higher.
