ing with the Town Fathers in a joint
effort to make Farmville a healthier
and more beautiful town.
Dr. N. T. Ennett, County Health
Officer, J. H. Moore, County Sani
tary Inspector and L. C. Whitehead
of the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture will lend their concentrated ef
forts towards assisting Farmville cit
izens during this special period de
voted to cleanliness and beauty.
Since dark and germ breeding
places, piles of rubbish, trash and
cans, rats, flies and mosquitoes are
charged with being principal sources
of the moat dangerous diseases, it is
a matter of commonsense that these
be given doe consideration at this
season of the year. Stables and cow
lots should be thoroughly cleaned as
one fly killed now makes 15,000,000
less to swat this summer.
Additional suggestions to home
makers in this campaign are the
burning of debris, cleaning of gut
ters, fitting garbage cans with tight
lids and fastening to the ground with
1XUU swiftra.
H. B. Sugg, superintendent of the
colored school has pledged his co
operation and assured the town au
thorities of every assistance from
this source.
Splendid success and fine results
were obtained by cooperation of en
tire citizenship last spring in a simi
lar campaign, in which was waged
a war against rats in addition to
cleaning up, painting up, planting
up and and fixing up, and town au
thorities are anticipating another
joint and wholehearted effort on the
part of citizens again this season.

Fishing Is Allowed
On Friday, May 10th
Hundreds of Farmville and Pitt
county men and women are expect
ed to take to the streams today, Fri
day, the closed season on fishing in
inland waters ending on Thursday,
May 9th.
There was a question in the minds
of many sportsmen whether the law
included May 10 in the closed sea
son, but a check of the law shows
that it reads the closed season shall
be in force from April 1 to May 9,
both dates inclusive.
No license is required to fish in
the county in which a person lives,
but one is necessary for fishing out
aide the county.
Report Is Issued By
Seal Sale Treasurer
Mrs. K. 8. Pace, treasurer of the
Pitt county seal sale fund, Wed
nesday released through the County
Health Department, the expenditures
for the month of April, as follows:
Milk, $3.10; Tuberculin needles,
$2.45; X-rays, $118.50; Total, $124.05.
Dr. Ennett, health officer and
Pitt county chairman of the tuber
culosis seal sale, stated that while
it is probable that in the case of
many tuberculosis patients milk is
not available, still the National and i
.State Tuberculosis Associations op- j
pose the spending of seal sale j
money for milk, feeling that this is
relief work and not a proper charge J
against the seal sale fund.
The National and State Associa
tions recommend that the expendi
ture of seal sale funds be limited to
educational activities and to early
diagnosis clinics including free X
ray to the indigent or near indigent
patient
Dr. Ennett said that he concurred
in this opinion.
Woman's Council
To Hold Reception
The Woman's Council of the Chris
tian Church will entertain the entire
membership of the Church at a re
ception to be held in the home of
Mrs. Henrietta M. Williamson, Mon
day night, May 18, from 8:00 to 11:00

urged to attend. Opportunity for

Farm Plans Signed
Br Pitt Growers
A total of 2821 growers of Pitt
County will cooperate with the 1940
Agricultural Conservation Program,
E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer
of N. C. State College, announced
following receipt of signed Farm
Plans signifying such intention. The
Triple-A lists 2860 farms in this
county.
The "sign-up" for the 1940 program
is an increase over the 8888 farmers
who earned payments under the 1989
Agricultural Conservation program.
Floyd expressed himself as highly
pleased over the participation indi
cated in this county.
Every farmer in the county was
given an opportunity to sign a Farm
Han, on which he listed the soil
" building practices he intends to har
ry out. He received * copy of the
Farm Han which showed the type
of practices in the program, and how
much be oould earn from each. The
Plan also listed the individual grow
er's allotments for soil ' depleting
crops, which he must plant within tc
earn payments.
Floyd said that in the State as a
whole, Farm Plana were signed, bj
223,104 out of the 2MM* eligibb
| farmers. This is an approximate &
percent "sign-op" and is a decided
^ contrast with the 113,598 farms oi
I which payments were earned in 1989

An event, which will add another
important chapter to the history of
the Baptist Church in Parmvifle, will
be tiie faying of the corner stone of
the beautiful new church now being
erected on the site of the old build
ing on the corner of Wilson mid
Greene streets.
The program for the inspirational
corner stohe service will include
special music, the reading of the
church hitory and congregational
singing. The address will be given
by Dr. M. A. Hoggins, State Secre
tary Of the Baptist General Conven
tion of North Carolina. The pastor,
Rev. B. B. Fordham, extends through
the columns of this paper a cordial
{invitation to everyone in the com
munity to attend the service.
Work has been progressing stead
ily on the new church since excavat
ing activities began two months ago,
and the solid brick walls are up
several feet above the floor. The
architecture is of Colonial type, and
plans call for a church auditorium
and a Sunday School building. The
auditorium, which is designed to
scat 850 people will have stained
glass windows, some of which will
be in the form of memorials.
The Sunday School building will
be arranged for departmental teach
ing with class rooms, adequate in
number and size to take care of twice
the present enrollment. Plans call
for a pastor's study and a large liv
insr room in which the Woman's Mis
a
sionary Society and other church or
ganizations will meet An open fire-,
place will add a cheerful note to this
room. A modern kitchen will provide
facilities for church suppers.
R. R. Markley, of Durham, is the
architect of the handsome building
with Dr. Henry E. Tralle, consult
ant, and Shoe and Cannon, of Green
ville, the contractors. It is to be
constructed at an approximate <^>st j
of $35,000, and will be completed by
the late falL
Regular services will be held in
the intervening months- in the mu
nicipal building.
Members of the building and fi
nance committee are: B. M. Lewis,
chairman; C. A. Tyson, vice chair
man; Miss Annie Perkins, who is a
charter member .of the Farmville
Baptist Church; C. L. Be&man, W. J.
Rasberry and M. P. McConnell. J.
M. Hobgood, whose death occurred
recently, was an active member of
this committee.
The former church, a frame build
ing, was started on August 2, 1909,
completed October 28 the same year
at a cosh of $2,873.30, and the dedica
tory sermon was preached on Octo
ber 31, by Dr. R. T. Vann, of Ral

I REPUBLICAN KEYNOTER
POLICY OF ISOLATION.
DEMOCRATIC POLICY
I U. S. STUDIES THE WAR
NO ARMY TO EUROPE
r FAR EAST AFFAIRS
I JAPANESE AGGRESSION
Governor Harold G. Stassen, of
Minnesota, who has been designated
as the temporary chairman of the
Republican National Convention,
which will meet in Philadelphia next
month, recently exchanged views
with party leaders in Washington,
with particular reference to his key-!
note speech.
Apparently, he will propound an
extreme isolation policy in regard
to foreign affairs. He says the
farmers and voters in the West are
against participation in any Euro
pean conflict and desire a real isola
tion policy which will assure keep
ing the United States aloff from
Europe.
While the keynote speech at a
political convention does not neces
sarily mean that the platform will
follow its outline one hundred per
cent, the chances are that this ad
dress will outline the position to be
taken by the party. This is especial
ly true when there has been a con
sultation of leaders, as there should
be, as to the positions to be expound
ed by the keynoter. Interest, there
fore, attaches to the major points
which will be made by Governor
Stassen.
i While there is no official or final
decision, it is taken for granted that
the address will follow the issues
as defined by Dr. Glenn Frank, in
his report as chairman of the pro
gram committee. Leading points in
this report include: . .
(1) Repeal of the reciprocal trade
treaty act, or revision to provide for
approval by the Senate:
(2) Opposition to entering the
war abroad and insistence upon aloof
ness from European entanglements:
(8) Relief administration by states
and municipalities, with continued
Federal assistance:
(4) Governmental economy and
the balancing of the budget to pre
vent increasing taxes:
<5) An adaptation of the Mc
Nary-Haugen bill for farm relief,
with a soil conservation program
giving benefits to all crops instead
of only six as at present
Political observers are interested
in the intimation that the Republi
cans will take an extreme isolationist
stand. This position, it is believed
in some quarters, will compel the
Democrats to take a similar position
in order to avoid being considered a
war party. Practically every politi
cian recognizes that the sentiment
of the people of this country is
against warfare and no responsible
political leader is ready to take a
position that seems to be antagonis
tic-to this public attitude Whether
the Democrats will attempt to define
a position on foreign affairs, pro-,
claiming a desire to Stay out of the
war but at the same time upholding
the Rooseveltian principle of as
sistance "short uf erar" ;$> the de
mocracies, remains to be seen.
? V-i*; '?*? ?
Considerable interest has been
aroused by the publication of a 104
page "American White Paper" writ
ten in leaflet form by two newspa
per writers, Joseph Alaop and Rob
ert: Kintner, and purporting to give
something of an outline of the pres
? ent Roosevelt-Hull foreign policy. It
should be understood that the book
carries no approval from any official,
but some reviews believe that it had
i received sympathetic assistance in its
preparation.

' Traditional Event
One of the moat brilliant social
events of the current school year oc
curred Friday evening, April 26, when
the Juniors of the Farmville High
School entertained thp -Seniors and
the High School Faculty V the high
school gymnasium. Hon titan just a
social event, the Junior-Senior is al
most a tradition. It is something
that both JunioiB and Seniors always
look forward to, and this year more
ever, since it was the first
Junior-Senior Banquet ever to be held
in Farmville's beautiful new gym
nasium.
The decorations carried out the
Senior class colors, blue and white.
Blue and white streamers were hung
across the top of the gymnasium and
at each end. The tables were grouped
in the shape of a bourse shoe with
the head table as the curve. Each
table seated four people and was
crossed with blue. In the center of
?""*> Mii? i<pnV?m{HM with
WIC UOVIW0 TfV*V V? f
white flowers. The place cards were
supported with blue and white ribbon
and the programs were blue with
white -printing.
In the back of the gymnasium a
garden scene was used with an ivy
covered trellis as a background.
After Mr, Moore said the Invoca
tion and everyone was seated, Bobby
Rot se, President of the Junior Class
and toastmaster, welcomed the Seniors
and Faculty. Immediately afterwards
Arthur Joyner, Senior class president
responded by thanking the Juniors
for the banquet During the first
course Aileen Flanagan gave the
toast to the Seniors and Douglas
Kemp of the Senior class responded.
While the cocktail dishes were be
ing removed Bob Fields, a graduate of
Farmville High gave several numbers
on a niano occordian. Bob played in
the center of the horse shoe and had
a spotlight focused on him. This spot
light was used during the program
and added greatly to the effect
During the main course Dorothy
Lewis delivered a toast to the Faculty
and Miss Ellen Lylee made a beau
tiful response. Also a dance Review
was given by Mrs. Van Nortwick of
Greenville. ? '
During the dessert course Billy
Smith sang "Indian Love Call," ac
companied by Mrs. Daisy H. Smith,
and as an encore "When You Wish
Upon A Star." Thomas Joyner also
gave a musical reading with accom
paniment by Miss Gemldine Came
ron.
Boots Thomas, after everyone was
through eating, acted as Giftonian,
presenting each Senior with a char
acteristic gift in rhyme.
Before closing the banquet that
will be remembered for many a year
as one of the best and most success
ful in he history of Farmville High,
Bobby Rouse thanked the Junior
mothers for their assistance. Also
he thanked the sophomore girls who
had served the meal so well. Then
all joined together in singing "Auld
Lang Syne." After the banquet was
over the tables were removed and
everyone danced. About 11:00, the
Grand March was started, led by
Bobby 'Rouse, Miss Russell Ward,
Arthur Joyner, and Miss Mary Dor
cas Harding.
At 12:80 the banquet which will
be remembered by many as the
memorable event in our lives, was
officially ended.

Housecleaning Hints
Given By Home Agent
Spring housecl.eaning is a duty
facing homemakers at this time of
the year, and Miss Ruth Current,
State home demonstration agent of
the Agricultural Extension Service,
has' several suggestions to make the
job easier.
In the f'rst place, she says house
cleaning should be organized. Just
one room at a tin^e and the job well
done is her advice. Then she offers
the following hints:
Window cleaning may be well done
by using paper instead of. a doth.
Choose soft paper that does not lint
Various cleaning preparations may be
used with either paper or cloth. Clear
water with a few drops of amonia, or
clear water with about one table
spoon of washing soda dissolved in
the pail make effident clednsers. On
very cold days the doth may be
moistened with alcohol or good kero
sene. Windows should be cleaned
when the sun is not shining on them
directely, as it causes uneven evapor
ation of the denser and gives a
streaked surface.
For cleaning of varnished or oiled
woodwork, the following mixture is
good: One quart of Jiot water, three
"tablespoons of boiled linseed oil, and
one tablespoon of turpentine. Wash
the woodwork with a soft doth wrung
out in this mixture, kept warm by
setting pver hot water. Do hot heat
directly on the stove because the tur
pentine is inflammable. Polish the
woodwork dry with a second doth.
Discard the mixture as it becomes
soiled and mix a fresh supply-wp,
The more (less) one knows

? S -
Rome, May, 8.?Pope Pius, XII,
made it known today he shared wide
spread feara that other countries
were in danger of invasion.
?Addressing an aitdience of 4,000
pilgrims, the Pope said "a world
poisoned with lies and disloyalty has
lost the spiritual health of peace."
"The earth should be a place of
concord," the pontiff declared, "but
instead the fire of war has broken
out in various nations and is threat
ening to invade others."
Meanwhile, tension in the Medi
terranean subsided somewhat as it
became evident Italy still is watch
ing the moves of other countries and
particularly the fate of the Cham
berlain government before taking
any belligerent action.
% Virginia Gayda, frequently Pre
mier Mussolini's mouthpiece, declar
ed that Italy "intends to remain in
I peace and friendly cooperation" with
the Balkan countries.
