At The Rotary Club
Sometimes there are goings-on in
our community of which we are per
haps vaguely aware but unfortunate
ly know J»o little about.
Tuesday night at the Rotary club
evening, gave a very interesting and
informative discussion of the Farm
Training Program for veterans, which
is being conducted in the local high
school. , . •• ■- _;' "
' Tile course, a “cross” between reg:
ular school and on-the-job-training,
now has a totai enrollment of 42. Thf
main purpose of the program is to
get the fellows established in fum
ing, and much emphasis is placed on
new and improved farming practices.
Each veteran .must be actively en
gaged in farming and keep records at
his farming'operations, in order'to
participate.
Under the very capable leadership
of Rev. Z. B. T, Cox, local Christian
pastor, the shop training portion of
the program has also been very suc
cessful and evidence of this wale borne
out by the commendable manner in
which the new Boy Scout hut Was
constructed.

An “eligible” grower is one who is
cooperating in the 1960 acreage al
lotment-marketing quota program for
flue-cured tobacco.
“Eligible" tobacco is flue-cured to
bacco of the 1960 crop which' (1) is
covered by a “within quota” market

merchantable condition, (8) is deliv
