Firemen and residents of Rae ford should continue to remem ber that the practice alert of the National Guard will be made known here by four lor- blasts on the town's fire siren .is a lert is to come within the next week or so, probably, and the ef ficiency of the tank company here, as of others over the nation, will be judged by how quickly they assemble at their armory and reach their assigned emer gency place of duty with uni forms and equipment. Alert plan of the company provides a de finite method of notifying each member at his home or place of work when an alarm is given, and use of the fire siren here is planned for all thos; within its range. . Local residents and fire men by remembering what the four blasts mean can hold down the general confusion by not rac ing about in autos. About the left-handedest com pliment I ever got was when Sam Morris told me to be sure and not let the notice I was writing about him filing for the town board sound like I was for him, for that would beat him sure. . .So, I tried to be most non-committal with it. I pay him for his work, and he docs it well, and as far as I am concerned his politics are his bus iness. Incidentally, mine are mine, too.

The solici tor, who does hi. nave to deal with civil courts, will still serve the four counties in the old judi cial district still Bladen in ad dition to Hoke, Robeson and Cumberland. The highway patrolmen situa tion is just about negative in Rae ford today, I understand. Surratt, as you know, left to start farm ing on April 1, and Patrolman J. T. Harris, is on leave this week, prior to leaving the patrol, I hear. He is out of town today, so I couldn't discuss his plans with him. Patrolman W. T. Herbin, who appears to be the only one left at the moment, is off today, but I presume he will be back on the highways to catch you b morrow when you read this. . il try to find out the full story on Harris by next week, as well as what the patrol plans are for fill ing the vacancies here. News item from Weldon this week concerned Edward O. Bai cy, physicist, at the research lab oratory at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Maryland. He is a son of Mrs. G. G. Conwcll of Weldon, and is married to the former Gladys Williamson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Williamson of Raeford. The news item said he would present a paper at a scientific symposium in England later this month at the request of the British government. He is to fly to England tomorrow. High School baseball team is scheduled to play Lauri 'g here tomorrow afternoon. Tom Cameron, secretary of the Hoke County Development Cor poration, sent a notice to stock holders this week of a meeting at the courthouse at 8:00 o'clock Monday night. He said the meet ing would be for th'e purpose of considering dissolving the cor poration, as its property had been sold to the U. S. Rubber Corpor ation, and that two-thirds of the stock would have to be represent ed for action to be taken. "A man may borrow money, steal from a Widow, discount his vhiskey bill or nip a prayer book t'rom a dying heathen and still have some chance of pardon; but when he swindles a poor printer out of his bill, we think the devil has such a firm grip on his pan taloons that repentance and for giveness are utterly out of the question."

Blue, county ASC office manager, called their attention to several facts regardin gthe production of "ue-cured tobacco which she said :y should know before plant ..,g. The letter follows. Changes In The Law Congress recently made chan ges in the law which are of spe cia' iterest to flue-cured to bacv. growers. These changes were enacted by Congress to strengthen the tobacco marketing quota program and apply to the 1955 crop. The new provisions that affect flue-cured tobacco are: 1. The penalty on excess to bacco marketed is increased from 50 to 75 per cent of the average market price for fluc-cured to bacco for the preceding market ing year. Based on present es timates of the 1954 market price, the penalty on excess flue-cured tobaccD for 1955 will be 39 cents per pound. 2. Any acreage of tobacco har vested in excess of the farm acre age allotment for 1955 or any subsequent year shall not be tak en into account in establishing state and farm acreage allot ments. In other words, future al lotments will not be increased because of excress acreage. 3. The farm acreage allotment for tobacco shall be reduced if any producer on the farm files, or aids or acquiesces in the filing of, any false report with respect' to the acreage of tobacco grown on the farm. Acreage Will Be Measured In Hundredths The 1955 tobacco acreage will in all cases be measured and computed in acres and hundred ths of acres. You will be notified of the measured acreage in acres and hundredths of acres. There will be no hundredths tolerance above the allotment. Any excess acreage will be computed in hundredths and all of the aoreage in excess of the allotment must be disposed of to avoid the mar keting quota penalty on such acreage and to be eligible for price support. Time Allowed for Requesting Remeasurement or Disposing Of Excess Acreage 1. You may request remeasure ment of your 1955 tobacco acre age provided a request for re measurement is filed with tie County ASC Office within five days from the date of the notice of measured acreage and at the same time you pay the estimated cost of remeasuring the acreage. The charge for remeasurement will be 60 cents per acre to be remeasured or $6.00 per farm, whichever is greater. A producer may not request remeasurement of only a part of the acreage on the farm in which he has 100 per cent interest or in which he and one other producer share a 100 per cent interest. 2. You may dispose of any ex cess acreage to come within your allotment provided you notify the County ASC Office within five days from the date of the notice of measured acreage of your in tention to dispose of the excess acreage and provided the excess acreage is disposed of within one week from the date of your de claration. At the time you declare your intention you will be re quired to deposit the estimated cost of checking the disposition of the excess acreage. The charge for checking disposition of ex cess acreage will be $1.00 per tenth of an acre to be disposed of with a minimum of $3.00 per farm. No credit for disposition of excess tobacco may be given if any of the tobacco on the acreage to be disposed of has been har vested and any disposition of ex cess acreage must be made in the presence of a representative of the County ASC Committee. Further Information on any of the above Items may be obtained at your County ASC Office. Be sure you understand the changes in the law and administrative re gulations affecting your 1955 to bacco acreage and future allot ments. O Mrs. N. A.

To Administer Polio Vaccine, Said Effective The Hoke County Health de partment said today it stands ready to begin administering the Salk Polio vaccine to the 927 first and second grade school children of the county whose parents have requested it as soon as the vac cine is received in Raleigh. This is expected within the next few days. The Salk vaccine was declared on Tuesday to be from 80 to 90 percent effective in preventing paralytic polio. The administration of the vac cine in the first series of clinics is scheduled to be given to some 250,000 first and second graders in the State. In Hoke County 927 parental requests for the vaccine were received out of a possible total of 1143, which school auth orities feel is a high percentage and speaks well for the spreading of the information about the im pending availability of the vac cine. After attending the first clinics the children will get the second shot two weeks after the first is given, according to Dr. J. W. Norton, State health officer, and the third and final shot will be given seven months later during the next school year. Before the clinics are over additional thou sands probably will be signed up, Dr. Norton said. As fast as the vaccine is receiv ed in Raleigh it will be dispersed among the various county health agencies for use. The cost of getting one injec tion of the Salk polio vaccine will vary from about $4 to $12 in different cities. In Chicago, the vaccine will cost $4 to $6, plus the doctor's office fee which generally is a bout $5. A Milwaukee physician esti mates the rate will be $10 to $15. The Northeast Pediatrics Asso cition in Ohio has voted to re commend to its members that they r.ro!do the two or three-shot tiacKaRe for $10. A Minneapolis clinic is offering the package for S12 50. Dr. Jonas Salk, who developed the serum, gets nothing from its sale. The drug is not patented. Parents of first and second grade school children, who will get the serum first, will not have to pay anything. The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis will foot the bill for them. 0 Sam Morris Files For Town Board Sam C. Morris, employee of The News-Journal and president of the County Young Democratic Club, made the only development in the town political situation when he filed as a candidate for town commissioner. In stating that he was running for the board Morris said that he felt that the east side of town should be re presented on the board, as the mayor and all five members of the present board of commission ers live west of Main street, and that the east section, with about as many residents, is not repre sented. Morris becomes the sixth can- didate for a place on the five- man board, as all the present members filed last week for re election along with Mayor Alfred Cole, who Is unopposed up to this time. 0 Gene Smith of Havelock spent the week end with his mother, Mrs. Lucy Smith.
