MAI* ???? - 1 Farmville's Newspaper and Printing Plant To Celebrate 30th Birth day and Forma] Open ing In May The Rooae Printery and the Farm ville Building and Loan Association moved into new quarters this week in the Holmes building at 126 North Main street, following remodeling of the two-etbry structure, formerly oc cupied by the Pitt Furniture Co. Fix tures and equipment are still in pro cess of being placed, but business is being carried on and the offices are open to customers and visitors as us ual. G. A. Rouse, owner of the Rouse Printery, and secretary-treasurer of the Building and Loan Association, purchased the present quarters fol lowing a fire, which broke out early Sunday morning, March 10, in an ad joining store. The smoke from the composition roof badly damaged stock and machinery of the printing plant, but new stock is now on the shelves and presses have undergone a thor ough overhauling. Though operating under adverse circumstances the staff was able to print the paper each week and The Enterprise greeted its friends and subscribers on the dot each Friday. The Building and Loan organiza tion has retained offices jointly with the Rouse Printery for a period of 17 years. Application Forms For Free Classing Ready for Growers Forms for making request for the free classing of cotton of their 1940 crops are available for one-variety communities and other cotton im provement groups at the Atlanta classing office of the Agricultural Marketing Service, Joe H. McLure, who is in charge of the office, an nounced today. Representatives of any cotton im provement group in Georgia, Ala bama, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia may obtain sets of these application forms by applying to the Agricultural Market ing Service, P. O. Box 4027, Atlan ta, Ga. Any group may file its ap plication as soon as its members have planted their cotton. In considering requests early applications will be given preference after allowance is made for the different dates of planting over the Cotton Belt. Mr. McLure calls attention to the prospect that applications for the free classing may go over the 900 mark again this year. Last season the Service approved 91S groups for the free classing. "Early filing of applications," Mr. McLure said, "will .Uomni, nffiMS MDWIffe for the work and assure the^group that its application will be acted upon in time for their early-picked cotton to be classed." "^ast season some ap plications were received so late that the groups did not receive their ship ping tags and other supplies until after cotton picking had started and were unable to get their first cot ton sampled for classing." The Service will supply free mar ket news reports again this season to supplement the free classing for improvement groups. Egg Cookery Has Its Right andWrongWay There is a defferense beween "hard boiled" and "hard cooked" eggs, says Miss Mary E. Thomas, nutritionist of the State College Extension Service. Likewise, r-ft boiled eggs may be hard cooked, she says. In diadsiring the "how'" of egg cookery, Miss Thomas offered sug gestions in connection with the sec ond week of the Springtime Egg Fes tival, a consumer-producer campaign to increase the use of eggs, which began April 11. This drive has the support of C F. Parrish and other pouhryaea of State College. The Southeastern Chair Store Council, through P. D. May, its North Caro lina lepresentstire, is also active in the Egg Festival. ? ? ? a xi x Miss TBOmas expuuoea mat eggs should always be oooked slowly, at x moderate, even heat. High cooking temperatures make eggs tough. "For either soft cooked or hard cooked eggs with tender whites," the nutri tionist said, "the eggs should be placed in boiling water and then the Tseeel should be est bade from the ' >haa? when the water will simmer hot not bofl. For soft cooking, leave the egga. In the water six minutes; for hard cooking, allowing 20 min ,wiUkt4ehfuoU The same general method is fol iowing in poaching eggs. That is, cooked" ?* ring tsttxperw Dramatic Club To Give Three Act Comedy Tonight The dress rehearsal is over and the stage is ail set, with only last minute preparations remaining before the curtain rises on "Mama's Baby Boy", a three-act comedy, to be presented by the Dramatic Club of Parmville High tonight, Friday, at 8:00 o'clock in Perkins Hall.

V^UllCg C IVCWIIUIICIIUO 3 Blue Mold Controls Three, and only three, methods of controlling' blue mold are recommend ed by the State College Extension Serfice and Experiment Station. Dr. Luther Shaw, Extension plant patho logist, says farmers should play safe j and adopt a control method which has been proven in laboratory and field tests. The first of these, and the most effective in the majority of tests, is fumigation with paradichlorobenzene. This material consists of solid white crystals. When purchased in 100 and 200-pound lots, the price ranges from 12 to 15 cents per pound. The crys tals are spread over the regular seed bed and a heavier cover is then plac ed over the entire bed and fastened securely to prevent escape of the vapors. The second recommended treat ment is also a fumigatant. It is ben zol (benzene) and comes in liquil form. It also requires tight plant bed covers. The cost of benzol is usually 20 to 30 cents per gallon. The third treatment is a spray, and there are two formulas recommend ed. One consists of 6 ounces of yel low copper oxide, 6 ounces of a relia ble spreader, such as Vastol OTC, Orvus, or Lethane; one quart of cot tonseed oil, and 25 gallons of water, preferably from a pond or stream. The other formular calls for 6 ounces of yellow copper ovide, 1 quart of self emulsified coconaeed oil, and 25 gallons of water, preferably from ~ ofwoom <X pvuu Vi 0V1 vmm If the spray treatment is used, it should be started when the plants are the size of a dime, or larger. The fumigants are best applied when blue mold makes its first appear ance in the community. Complete directions for blue mold control are contained in Extension Circular No. 229, which is free upon request to the Agricultural editor at State College, Raleigh. Over 13,000 Loans Reamotized to Dote Columbia, S. C., April 11.?Over 13,000 Federal land bank and land bank commissioner loans have been reamortized for longer terms in North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor gia and Florida, according to a state ment today by Julian H. Scarborough, president of the Federal Land Bank of Columbia. Most of the reamortization applied to commissioner loans, Mr. Scarbor ough said. These loans, he said, were originally amortized for rela tively short periods and required principal payments that heavily-en cumbered farmers found impossible to meet He expressed the belief that reamortization ' over a longer period of years would re-establish the soundness of the loans. In North Carolina 3,156 loans have been reamortized; in South Carolina 2,595; in Georgia 5,787 and in Flori da 2,023, making a total for the four states of 18,511, Mr. Scarborough said. .

Child Burned Fatally By Explosion of Stove Wilson, April 10.?Harvey Bryant Carter, 5, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chann cey Carter of Greene County, died in a local hospital late last night of barns received late yesterday when > an oil stove in his home exploded t end drenched him with burning oil. !

Burial was in Roosevelt Freezes Foods oo Doses AedJIorwesaos President Takes Unpre cedented Action To Keep Such Holdings From Hands of Ger mans; Neutrality Re gion for U. S. Widened To Arctic Washington, April 10.?President Roosevelt, in an unprecedented move tonight, froze all balances and for eign exchange transactions in this country involving Norway, Denmark of their nationals to prevent their withdrawal under German pressure. The move was embraced in an executive order which vested con trol of the holdings in Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., and authorized him to release them to the rightful owners under circum stances which he considers are satis factory. The President further directed Morgenthau to require reports on all such holdings to ascertain their amount and where they are lo cated. They ere believed to aggregate many millions of dollars. Fiscal relations between all the Scandinavian nations and the United States have been good and citizens of the overseas countries have found American investments lucrative sources of profit. Officials, commenting on Mr. Roosevelt's order, pointed out that the situation concerning Denmark and Norway is not comparable to that which existed when German legations invaded Czechoslovakia and Poland. In that case, it was ex plained, this government knew which was the responsible govern ment and where it was located Not Knpwn. | Tonight, the United States did not know the status of the Danish gov j vernment or its location and officials acted to protect Norwegian nationals until the status of their government is clarified. In placing control over the hold ings with Morgenthau, Mr. Roose velt made it impossible for Germany to coerce or bring pressure upon Norgegians or Danes to call home their funds. The purpose of tjie order, officials explained, is to protect the integ rity of the United States as a re pository for foreign funds. Mr. Roosevelt's order actually amends another one he issued Jan uary 15, 1934, to prohibit unlicensed transactions in foreign exchange, the export of currency and trans ?fara nf fnraiirn rreriits in this COUn try. The original order was based on emergency powers granted him under the 1988 banking act In No vember, 1934, the order was relaxed so as to grant a general license for dealing in foreign exchange. Today's order excepts from Treas ury regulation the property of Nor wegians and Danes domiciled in this country as of April 8. Treasury regulations issued last tonight specified the kind at Danish or Norwegian holding# affected. Made Specific. The list included; Money, checks, drafts, bullion, bank deposits, savings accounts, financial securities com monly dealt in by bankers, brokers and investment houses, mortgages, pledges, liens warehouse receipts, bills of lading, trust receipts, bills of sale, other evidences of title or own ership, merchandise, stocks on hand, ships, goods on ships, royalties, patents, incurance policies and safe deposit boxes and their accounts. While this is the first time this government has taken such action in connection with specific countries, the treasury exerted a "moral con trol" in the case of Poland and Czechoslovakia after they were sub jugated by the Nazis. Zone Extended. Meantime, most of the North At lantic was "blacked out" for Amer ican shipping when President Roose velt extended the combat zone in the European war to embrace Scan dinavia and some Russian port in the Arctic.

SIMS S (Washington Correspondent) i CAMPAIGN PREDICTIONS DEWEY AND FDR AGAIN I APRIL FOOL PREDICTIONS LEWIS ISSUES BLAST WARSHIPS IN THE PACIFIC "REVELATIONS" FROM RERUN JAPAN'S BUFFER, MR. WANG U: a FACES PROBLEM There are newspaper columnists, political prognosticatcrs and politici ans in Washington who will look you in the eye and tell you, with every assurance, that "at this time" a particular candidate is "in the lead" for the Republican nomination for the presidency. With the same ur banity and confidence, they will tell you, just as positively, what Presi dent Roosevelt will do in regard to a third term and name the candidate who will have the backing of the Administration at Chicago. This kind of talk in April comas under the head of "April Pool" in formation. There is little more be hind the opinions expressed than the personal conclusions of the writer or talker. The practice involved, how ever, is ancient and it prospers be cause the people are extremely gulli ble in their anxiety to know what is going to happen in the future. The writer of this column cannot tell you whether Dewey or Vanden berg, or Tait, or somebody else will get the Republican nomination in June at Philadelphia, However, it may be asserted that the result of the Wisconsin Primary did no harm to the chance^ of the New York prosecutor. Young, active and vigorous, the New Yorker is making a number of speeches thrbughoutout the country, vigorously assailing the New Deal and creating a good impression, at least among Republicans, by plotting his campaign on the' theory that the best defense is an offense. So far as the President is concern ed, no one knows what he will do. His recent victories in .the Wiscon sin and New York Primaries were not surprises. It is readily admitted that Mr. Roosevelt can have the Democratic nomination if he will take it. There is no doubt about this and nothing but a major political earth quake will prevent the President, if he does not run himself, from nam ing the man to have the first place on the Democratic ticket. While conservative anti - New Dealers in the party may make a show of oppo sition in the convention, the Party is not going to commit political sui cide by turning its back upon the administration of the President No one takes seriously the threats of John L. Lewis to organize a labor, youth, old age, Negro and farmers' groups in to a third party. The ma jor parties have been trying to con trol these groups for many years. If any political leader manages to get them all under the same banner "the ensuing contest would not be an elec tion, it would be acclamation by unanimous consent. The chances are that Lewis is attempting to put pres sure on the Democratic Party in or der to get it on hiB side in the labor war. The CIO chieftain is smart enough to know that if he cannot exercise some control over the Demo cratic Party he has no where bo go. Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean to day, 130 warships of the United States fleet, 43,000 naval officers and men and four hundred naval planes are engaged in the first phase of ex tensive maneuvres which will not be completed until the middle of May.

SREAT NAVAL BATTLE RAGING; BRITISH WARSHIPS BATTER THEIR WAY TO OSLO FJORB > Germans Reported To Have Suffered Heavy Loss of Life as Troop Ships Sink In Skager rak; British Penetrate Vital Water Route Leading To Norway Stockholm, April 11.?British war ships were reported early today to be ready to shell the Germans out of Oslo after engaging German men-of war in the biggest battle since the British grand fleet limped home from the Battle of Jutland 24 years ago. First meagre reports of the battle, fought almost within Swedish terri torial waters, said the British fleet appeared to be whipping the Nazi warships after forcing its way through the narrow Skagerrak and down into the Kattegat strait be tween Sweden and Denmark. Pierce fighting also was raging early today in Oslo Fjord, it was said, with the remnants of Nor way's tiny navy aiding the British. British Ultimatum. The British, according to the Stockholm radio, served an ulti matum threatening to turn their guns on Oslo unless the Germans gave up their "protective" hold on the capital by noon today. The city was being evacuated amid scenes of panic, according to reports at the Swedish frontier, while planes battled overhead and bombs fell on the outskirts. . i(In London, reports circulated that Adolf Hitler had served an ultimatum on Sweden demanding the right to "transport troops and r supplies across Swddish territory to maintain his foothold in Scandi navia.) In the Skagerrak battle, within sight of people in the Swedish town of Gothenburg, four German cruis ers and five heavily-laden troop ships were sunk, according to these reports. The pit of the battle was a few miles northwest of the Island of Hippelin. xt : cl: n. i>azi amps uuwn. Hippelft residents said they saw two ships, believed to be Nazi trans ports, explode and disappear into the sga-with amazing speed. Suiufraia of "heads bobbed in the wateV-but fisherfolk were afraid to expose their frail craft in rescue work because of the intense firing. Later several fishing boats left the Island of Roeroe adjjoiningSHRoxa Island of Roeroe adjoining Hinpeln and returned loaded with dead and wounded German soldiers and sail ors. The etonations of the broadsides shook houses on the Swedish islands and shattered windows. The German fleet in the battle was reported to have consisted of 23 ships, 11 of which were troop transports. The loss of lives was great and many bodies of German soldiers and sailors were washed up on shore. Several badly damaged troop ships ran for refuge within Swedish ter- ? . ritorial waters. See Fighting. Residents of the Swedish town of. Marstrand saw ships go down. *in flames and watched the flashes of pounding, big-calibre guns. The naval battle began at 3 p.m., Wednesday and continued until far into the night when part of the Brit ish fleet, reported to be 10 ships, pushed back northward into the Skagerrak at full speed and into Oslo Fjord. Gothenburg reports said there was great loss of life in the sinking of five German troop ships. Inhabitants of Merstrand reported that the battle began between Ger man armed trawlers and British submarines, and that later warships and bombing planes entered the conflict. Residents of the Island of Eskeroe said they saw two Nazi warships sink stern first. One was a Ger man cruiser in flames. A short distance away circles of black smoke rose from the shattered German cruiser. Norway Helps. Norwegian ships aided the Brit ish in the battle in Oslo Fjord, it was said. The German cruiser Emden of 5,400 tons was reported by radio to have been sunk in Oslo Fjord and a usually trustworthy diplo matic source said it went down un der the guns of the 1,596-ton Nor wegian minelayer Ilva Tryssvaa son in single-handed combat.
