Flake Shaw Address es Group of Represent* ative Fanners; Urges 100 Per Cent Backing Of Farm Bureau R. Flake Shaw, of Greensboro, who is Secretary and Treasurer of the State Farm Bureau, addressed forty of the agricultural and business lead en of FVrmville township at a' special supper meeting held Wednesday night in the lunch-room at the Farmville High School, for the purpose of aa newing old memberships and securing new ones for the North 'CkioliBa Farm Bureau. The speaker was introduced by John T. Thome, who commended him on the invaluable service he has ren dered fanners in this State. Mr. Shaw stressed the fact that 60- percent of fartners belonging to any farm organization in the United States belong to the National Farm Bureau. He said aH basic laws under which farmers have enjoyed operat ing were enacted under the super vision and with the advice of the National Farm Bureau, and that to bacco farmers are deeply indebted to the Farm Bureau for their tobacco program and stressed the fact that every fanner should show his appre ciation by joining the Farm Bureau— the least any farmer can do: . In the columns of this paper, there may be found a personal message from Mr. Shaw which should be of vital interest to all citizens of this community. We recommend that his information be read and heeded to by our readers. The meeting was presided over by W. Alex Allen, chairman of the N. C. Farm Bureau, m Farmville Town ship. Carl T. Hicks, of Walstonborg, chairman of the N. C. Farm Bureau's j Tobacco Committee, was present and talked on the present tobacco situa tion as regards the fanner and also prospects for the tobacco farmer's future. He spoke of how vitaljy every farmer and business man may be effected if there should be any. drastic change in our control pro gram, outlining how this program has been handled and what a great service the Farm Bureau has render ed in securing jt. Reporting on the success of mem bership drives in adjoining counties, he commended our neighbor, Greene, which has already gone over the top and challenged Farmville Township to fall in line. Mr. Hicks said, "Farmers have en joyed a. War Time Price for tobacco but should not expect prices to re main mt this high level m peace time. Quality production in tobacco must be stressed if we are to get the best prices from future production," F. F Hendrix, County Agent, of Greenville, spoke briefly and sug gested that those present organize themselves as a group to contact every landlord in the township, to gether with his tenants, to secure 100% membership for Farmville, in the N. C. Farm Bureau. There was a ready and cooperative response to this suggestion by all present, which as it is^carried oat will assure the township of an over the top record. Hosts for the meeting were J. W. Joyner, Mayor, Town of Farmville} Hal Winders, President Merchants Association; L. E. Walston, Cashier, The Bank of Farmville; Dr. It. T. Williams, President Kiwanis Club; Ffeank Williams, President Club; John B. Lewis, Chamber of ConOneree; J. L Morgan, Jr., John T. Thome, Monk's Ware house, Knott's Warehouse and V>\ A. Allen.

JAPS SEEK POOD Tokyo, Nov. 14.—Beaten Japan, facing a cold and hungry winter and a war reparations bill, today propos ed a system of barter with the Unit ed States and other countries. Primary purpose of the plan, re quested by Minister of Agriculture Sanugro Ogasawara, would be to ob tain staple foods immediately and set' up a long rung* program for re viving the nation's wobbly economy. Allied headquarters, to which Ogasawara made his application said it was not yet prepared to indicate its policy in the matter. It is known, however, that the economic and scientific section of headquarters is working on what Japan considers its foremost problem. "Japanese trade is in a state of suspicion, but we want to start as soon as possible," Ogasawara said. He voiced the hope that 'the United States again would become Nippon's best customer. Specifically, Ogasawara asked per mission for Japan to import 3,000,000 tons of foodstuffs, 1,000,000 tons of salt and sizable tonnage %ot cotton, copra, coal, iron ore and non-ferrous metals. . Barter payments would be made m gold and other precious metals; dia monds, silk, cotton goods, chemical products, medical supplies, machin ery, hardware, tin and other Japa nese products. ■ 1 RUSSIAN DEMAND Tv m 3 Washington, NoV. 14, more is dei the proposed pan, Secretary of "State Byrnes dis closed today. The United States advocates a council on which other Allies would be represented, but in which Genscal MacArthur as Supreme Commander would have a say inj that Moscow this plan. But now, wh All nrm d„ All BtUQCIltS nili Df to Be Self-Sup Greenville, Nor. 13.—North Caro lina's first Pre-Conditioiung- Cent< for tKeAdnlt Blind was opened to day in the building formerly DM the VTXA an the suburbs of Grw«i w Registration started today and will continue through tomorrow and Thursday. Classes will begin Fri day. Formal dedication wffi be held early next month. The training eenter for the blind is the outgrowth of 10 years of ■tody and experience with the blind in this State and a result of a $15,000 appropriation made by the 1945 Gen eral Assembly. The Greenville Lions Club and other Lions clubs throughout the State an working to match <ta ap propriation 'in older that' the train ing center for the blind may be ade quately equipped. Heretofore there has been no place in the State to which Hie adult blind might be sent for adjustment to their condition and for much of the training they need. The training center is sponsored by the Pitt County Association for the Blind and the Greenville lions Club. Frank M. Brown, president of the Pitt County Association for the Blind, and members of the Lions Club were active in securing the project for Greenville. The desperate need for the center is pointed up by the fact that 66 per cent of blindness occurs in adult life, and is underscored by the 1,500 blind posons now m the State who need adjustment and training before they can be placed. Adding to the acute need an the 800 to 400 adults in North Carolina who become blind each year. Furthermore, Hi* im pending return of many have lost their sight adds the State's need of such a center. Although the State Commission' for the Blind has no specific program I for blind veterans (most of this work is being done by the Fa lis Hi! Govern ment), it gives preference to veterans in all its services and also will give them preference at-the new.Pre-con ditioning Center in Greenville. In brief, the center will seek to make the blind person socially ac ceptable and then will train him for some occupation. Upon the success ful completion of the course, the stu* dent will he placed tn a job by the North Carolina Bureau at Employ ment for the Blind, so adjunct of the commission, which is constantly checking up on possible oMortuni ties for jobs that may be held suc cessfully by blind persons. But the center will not who toid. n *i| m 1 Farmvillc Tobacco PLaaa IiA nHTK€I uoses its Section Eleven For '45 Today, Friday, November 16, will mark the close of the Farmville To bacco Market for the 1946 season and will write finis to the moat auccess ful selling period of its history, al though two weeks short of the 1944 tlUmr ana eon •'■■'■''j ■At Hk close of Thursday's sales, -a season's total of 26,617,050 pounds was chalked up by R.
