It is suggested that parents who feel that a child has special pro blems contact the child’s teacher, talk the problem over with the teacher and if they decide they need help in solving the problem for the child, contact Mrs. Giles and see what service she has to offer that might benefit that par ticular child. These services will be of little value if they are not used. The county superintendent and principals have adjusted, buses and 'bus routes so that no bus in Hoke County how has to carry more pupils than, the legal load.

Before allotments and market ing quotas can become effective they must be approved by a two- thirds vote of the growers. Every farmer who produced cotton last year, whether owner, tenant, or share-cropper, is eligible to vote. The Agriculture Department is seeking to have cotton acreage reduced from this year’s 26,- 380,000 acres to the minimum of 21,000,000 acres permitted by the law. Tije current cotton supply is more than 25% greater than is needed and much of this has falleri into government hands through the price support prog rams.
