R. Bennett and farmers are being noti fied to come for them.

He said farmers com ing to the office for checks which o-r-rivpf] will retard the dis U?TC UVW M* I ..... tribution of payments. About one-third total payments due Pitt County farmers has been received. The amount of the first shipment was $116,766, made out to 1,254 individuals. It is necessary for both the land lord and tenant to appear in person for the checks. All persons are re quired to bring their card informing them their check has been received, as the check number is printed on the card and this will enable officials to put their hands on the payment at once. | Mr. Bennett declared that he felt receiving payments at this time would induce farmers to participate j to a greater extent in the 1937 pro gram. He urged that all farmers who have not made out work sheets for participation in the 1937 pro gram to do so at once. Where changes have occurred in ownership sihce the 1936 work sheets were made out it is necessary that farmers go to the agent's office and record such changes. j All land owned, operated or con trolled by any one person must be covered by a work sheet for 1937 if the individual is to reap benefits on any farm which may be covered. If an owner or, tenant is interested in more than one tract he must have all covered in order to participate in any. JUNIOR WOMAN'S CLUB "? T~t-?

Josey conducted the April Public Forum for Farmville citizens. Dr. Josey,^ introduced by J. W. Holmes, chairman of the school board, chose for his subject, "Vocational Guidance." Dr. Josey, originally from Scotland Neck, graduated from Wake Forest College in 1913 and three years later took his Ph.D. from Columbia University. At present he is head of the Psychology and Phil osoyhy Department of the Univer sity of South Dakota. In his introduction, the speaker hmmrht ud the question, "What Is the Use of Vocational Guidance?" and "Why Is Added Efficiency Nec essary?" , Developing his discussion frorh these points of view, he further emphasized the importance of the right choice of vocations. In connec tion with this he mentioned particu larly the "growth" permitted by proper vocational choices and the in hibitions caused by poor choices. In sketching briefly the consider ations of prime importance in the selection of vocations, Dr. Josey list ed as coming first: the interests of the individual, individual abilities, the probable health strain, the am ount of education required to fit one for such a position, and the oppor tunities which a career following the vocation would afford. Of particular interest locally was the part of the discussion which dealt with the possible developments in a school curriculum and school pro gram for a school which does not re ceive appropriation to provide for a vocational guide. In this connection Dr. Josey gave references which might prove useful, mentioned phsy chological vocational tests, and point ed out that some teacher might be given a lighter teaching load and thus have time to devote to the vo cational problem of the school in ceneraL Many schools, recognizing C"? ? _ the need for such guidance, have add ed special vocational counsellors and special courses in vocational guid ance. The discussion proved very thoughtprovoking, for in the words of the speaker, "The choosing of one's vocation is perhaps the most important decision one has to make."

Style Show to Be HeM in High Point April 16th, in the Tomlinson Exhibition Building Tremendous interest has been manifested by local citizens in the Furniture Style Show, celebrating "A Return to Victorian Elegance/' which will be held from 10 A. M. to 10 P. M., April 16th, at High Point, N. C., according to T. E. Joyner, of ' the Farmville Furniture Co., where courtesy admission cards have been made available to the public. "The Furniture Style " Show at tracts more and more people from here every year," said Mr. Joyner. "Held in the great Tomlinson Exhi bition Building, it gives lovers of fine furniture ar. opportunity to see a diverse showing of beautiful pieces, ranging from the'old masters of the ,18th century, down to the most mod ern types. "Many of our customers wUo at tended the Show last year have said they want to go again, and many more who have heard of this event have expressed a desire to attend. So we have arranged to secure a block of courtesy admission cards to take care of a considerable number. "Now, when everyone is so inter ested in fine furniture, it is particu larly fitting that this famous Show should choose to featre the Victor ian era, which was unique in its sumptuous furnishings and lavish hospitality. Returning prosperity in America has focused attention on better living and this annual display at High Point offers such a variety of furniture types that everybody is sure to find the kind he likes best of all," Mr. Joyner expained. "This being the Coronation year, ? and at the same time, the centennial of Queen Victoria's accession to the throne, the theme of this Exibition fits in well with the public interest And many visitors will be thrilled over the group of figurines, showing in miniature but complete fidelity, the Royal Family of England, from Henry VIII to Queen Victoria. "Of special interest in past shows is the gallery of genuine unique fur niture, collected over a period of 38 years by the Tomlinson brothers," Mr. Jovner recalled. "S. H. and C. F. Tomlinson are constantly adding to their collection and visitors this year will find that a number of in teresting pieces have been placed there since last Spring. "Visitors will find competent guides to explain the various types of furniture in the display. '"The Exhibition always attracts thousands of citizens from nearby cities who regularly attend this dis play, largest of its kind in this en tire section. "I am particularly anxious for ev ery furniture lover, whether a cus tomer of our store or not, to get a courtesy admission card and attend the Exhibition. It is truly a great event, comparing favorably with the great furniture museums of Europe and the larger American cities. "Visitors will find that though ' many of the pieces faithfully follow beautiful old designs, all of this fur niture has genuine modern construc tion. Every piece is built to become an heirloom, worthy of being passed down to one's children's children. Yet each is thoroughly comfortable, with a substantial comfdrt that the early cabinet makers never achieved. YouH find them all these?Chippenddale, Hepplewhite, Sheraton?all' the oth ers. But each is in modern form, re taining all the old charm and adding to it the skill of modern furniture makers in producing pieces that are beautiful, comfortable and durable."
