: BUY... ..SELL... ■ IN FARMYILLE VOLUME FORTY —t-- . NUMBER TgN ' ■ ' ■ ■ .- ' »5 ^. x ■ ' Z : - <>4V' - (By James B. Hockaday) Paul A. Wagner, who on August ls£ relinquishes a top executive spot with the Bell and Howell Camera Company, a $22,000,000-corporation, to become president of Rollins Col ' lege in Winter Park, Fla., has some ideas about naming children that should find favor with off-spring of well-meaning parents who inscribe on -their children’s birth certificates mon ikers that rise to plague and torment the. child through his entire life. Mr, ■Wagner, who at 31 will have the dis tinction of being the youngest presi tent of an accredited liberal arts Col lege in the United States, gave his son a first name only and- the boy will be allowed to choose a middle name when he is older. Those going through life with a middle name they, dislike would relish the idea of pick ing their own. Until more parents like Mr. Wagner come along, however, those with names they don’t like wj}l ' find solace in the truthful words of the Bard of Avon that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. In an out-of-town church Sunday morning, I heard a very fine sermon on the current generation’s disposi tion to rush through life at such a break-neck speed that many of the more worthwhile things are over looked and a high percentage of the world’s population is plunging into a , maelstrom of confusion. To prove hia point, the pastor showed how the youth, Saul, picked by God for the 1 kingship of Israel, “waited awhile.” with Samuel, from whom he received the astonishing news that he was des tined to rule, before he went back to his father and people, those he' had left a short while before as a sim ple, country lad. The huge increase in the number of mentally diseased warped personalities was attributed to “the big hurry” character of the world today. As is too often the case, however, the church failed to do as the preacher preached. Those ip ; charge of the music were, so anxious to get through the service that only three of the closing hymn’s five stanzas were sung. * * * The government has set the 1949 government-support price of tobacco at between 42 and 43 cents, ware housemen have drafted rules and Reg ulations, selling time has been in creased a half-hour, and an air of pleasant anticipation hangs over the heads of merchants and prospective customers alike; all told, mechanics of the 1949 selling season have been arranged. But local growers, aren’t taking much notice of such things right now. They are too busy har vesting the crop, one of the finest this section has enjoyed in several years. Tobacco is “coming in” fast and farmers are having to hustle to keep from losing it. Imone sense of the word, tobacco and a news story are alike. Tobacco isn’t worth any thing until it’s harvested and cured. The best news story in the world isn’t worth a cent until it’s put into type. * * * J The writer and composer of the current song hit, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” may have what it takes to get to the top of the “hit parade” but he’s at the bottom of our list as a weather observer. Like many others *- in Farmville, Frank Dupree greatly admires his mother's energy and activeness. He says he hopes that when he reaches her age, 78, he can be as active as she. Mrs. Dupree returned by plane last Friday from an extended visit with members of her family in At lanta. It was the third time that Mrs. Dupree had made the Atlanta-Raleigh hop. . ~ Local Tobacconists Headed Southward ✓ • Personnel of A. C.

At The Rotary Club Complacency of American people will Have to change into an attitude of cooperation and responsibility if world peace is to be effected, said Father Loyola O’Leary at the Rotary dab Tuesday night, as he brought the club’s attention to the problem of Displaced Persons. To- further their war program, the Germans brought in many people from the overrun countries of West ern Europe. These people were made to operate the German farms and to work in the German factories. When hostilities were over, these people were free -to return to their home land but the greater majority pre ferred to stay in the D. P. Camps rather than return where there would be no personal freedom or happiness, under Die hand of Communism, At. present the immigration law allows 200,000 to copse into this country and the Catholic priest ex pressed the hope that the law will be amended to increase the total to a bout 300,000. Approximately 600 fam ilies per week will arrive and Eastern North Carolina will have an oppor tunity to do its part; however, it will take an individual effort to make the program work.' Due to congested housing condi tions in cities, rural areas afford bet ter possibilities. In conclusion, O’ Leary made an appeal to the- people of Farmville and adjacent areas to do their part, not only in a financial way but to help in a Christian way, so that homes might be provided for those representing, not the scum vof Europe, but the higher classes of Europe who will arrive in North Ca rolina in December.

The growers will be allowed to state whether they are in favor of marketing, quotas for three years, beginning in 1960, for one ye*r only (1960), or whether they want to abolish controls. Regardless of the outcome of this referendum, price support loans at 90 per cent of parity will be available on the 1949 crop as a protection to grow ers.
