Folger today announced fol lowing conferences at the office of Petroleum Coordination. Details of the program yet have to. be worked out, but will be made ef fective before the expiration of the extra September allotment to .13 to bacco-belt counties on October 1* Folger was assured. Federal Petroleum officials told the Fifth District Congressman that the new plan would be "more scien tific" than the hastily adopted pro gram to assure September deliveries of tobacco to the markets. Quotas exceeding the September 1940 con sumption by 10 per cent were estab lished for 13 counties in the tobacco belt. - - Folger expressed the belief that the new program for October would be "mere or less permanent" and that R would be Statewide in its operation. He also expressed the hope that it would apply to farm commodities in general. ' The-counties designated for special consideration during September are Forsyth, Caswell, Stokes, Surry, Yad kin, Rockingham, Person, Guilford, Alamance, Orange, Randolph, David-] son and Chatham. f I Selective Service Registrants Advised.

Davis, Fannville mayor, has accept ed the chairmanship of-the Pitt Coun ty Finance Campaign in connection with East Carolina Council, Boy Scouts, simultaneous efforts begin ning October 20, it was reported to day. Greenville will not be a part of the council campaign program due to its membership in the local Community Chest, but communities outside of Greenville, and a part of the same district, will be given an opportunity to contribute towards a greater coun cil program whereby every eommuni | ty will be given an opportunity to have scouting and service. Mayor George W. Davis, general chairman, named several prominent [Pitt county men to serve on his campaign committee. At present the committee includes John B. I^wis, chairman of Major Gifts; G. A. Rouse, chairman of' Educational Pub licity. Steering the campaign will be a prominent group of citizents includ ing the following: H. W. Pruden, Roanoke Rapids; J. H. Waldrop, Greenville; Joe Eagles, Crisp; Mayn ard 0. Fletcher, Washington; J. A. Gaskins, executive. Headed by R. Brooks Peters, Jr., Tarboro attorney, as chairman, the general campaign is composed . of the following men: B. B. Sugg, may or of Greenville, chairman of Major Gifts; T. E. Winslow, Rocky Mount attorney, chairman of Prospect Lists; A. D. Shackleford, Wilson; arid Ev erett Blake, Wilson; J. C. Penny ex ecutive, I'hftiwon of Educational Publicity. . In order to coordinate the prelimi nary steps of the campaign a week to week schedule was adopted. The campaign solicitations will begin on I October 20, and close on October 30, but in the meanwhile steps will be taken from day to day to prepare the way for a successful conclusion. The Scout Council is laying plans for a banner year in 1042; and with the conclusion of the campaign this: | program will become effective at once. Due to the large area the ex ecutive staff has been limited in its over-all coverage, but present plans <*yil for an addition of two more ex ecutives to the staff. The courfcil believes in the Scout motto "Be Pre 1 pared" and is noW preparing itself for a big year through a budget that will enable it to carry out plana for giving every boy an opportunity to be a Scout with a real program of Scouting.
