Greg? Cherry Offers 15-Million Dollar Road Bond Measure Raleigh, Feb. 9.—Armed with a resolution adopted by the Gen eral Assembly, State farm lead ers planned to submit to Federal authorities a petition urging that price ceilings on the 1943 crop of flue-cured tobacco be applied by a method which will not ab olish the auction sales system. The measure was rushed thro >gh both houses after being in oduced by Senator J. C. Lanier 1/ . Pitt. Meantime, the legislature re ceived assurance from OPA Chief Prentiss Brown that careful con sideration would be given its pe tition asking removal of price panalties on “oily hogs.’’ The resolution adopted last month, explained that penalties would be costly to North Carolina fann ers who feed swine on peanuts and soylbeans. Lanier's resolution suggested that tobacco ceilings be com puted on the buyers’ averages and not by individual baskets. The Pitt lawjmaker said represen tatives of farm organizations would appoint a committee today to take the resolution to Wash ington for presentation to the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Office of Price Adminis tration. The Caveness “wine control’’ bill, kept from third reading de bate by other discussions, was held over on the House calendar for possible action today. Senator Gregg Cherry of Gas ton introduced a bill authorizing the issuance of $16,000,000 in State highway bonds, with pro ceeds to be used following the war for repairing and construct ing highways, causeways and bridges. The measure was of fered both to provide postwar employment and to restore the state’s highway system to pre-war condition. The State treasurer would be authorized to issue the bonds “from time to time.” Douglas Eaker Is Visiting Parents * Douglas Eaker, Radioman First Class, Mrs. Eaker and little son, Douglas Eaker, Jr., arrived here Saturday night on a 30-day fur lough and are visiting his par ents, Mr. and Mrs. J.

We, here in CherryVille, ^iave a stamp drive, that is, we are selling and buying war bonds and stamps. We have been sell ing stamps for a few weeks. Last week we sold the amount of $123.30 worth' at our building. The whole building has sold $214.70 in three weeks. We have also tried to win this war by getting in scrap to lick the Japs and to build planes and other material tor our boys in service. Our building has col lected more scrap than any other two buildings in CherryVille, 16,382 pounds. The way we got all the scrap and paper was by going around to people’s houses and getting the old iron pipes and other scrap that was not of any good. We are going to help our Sol diers, Sailors and Marines by planting our own gardens here at home so we can get our food from it and not have to buy canned food. The stores are going to ration food so no one will be left out of their share. At school we are selling seed so we can have something to plant in our Victory Gardens. We are selling flower seed also, so we can make our home beautiful and have plenty to eat at the same time, and our boys will have something to eat also. When our food gets to where we can we will take things out ot our gardens and put them in jars and cans for the winter. When you put them up in jars and cans they will save and not spoil, and we can give our share at the store for others who cannot raise their own food and have to work in a war plant. We picked cotton during the harvest season and helped the labor shortage. We are saving our school property and taking care of our health. All these can help win the war. By DOYLETA WRIGHT, 5th Grade SECOND PRIZE “The School At War” We, at our school, are buying and selling stamps for victory. We sell them ev'ery Monday, Wed nesday and Friday. We have all so far bought $214.70 and are still buying. If you btiy a .25 stamp you will be buying live bullets to lick the Jaips and it you buy a .10 stamp you will be buying two bullets. About all the pupils are buying stamps to help win the war. We are collecting scrap, we are collecting iron metal, aluminum, copper, and rubber. We at home are saving all of our fat and keeping it in cuns to turn in Our school has collected 1l>,3-82 pounds of scrap. Plant a victory garden for vic tory. We are selling seed, so that people can start their gardens We hope that everybody will plant a garden. If you dont you will be helping the Japs. On account of the labor short age. the nupils of our school were let out at noon last fall to help pick cotton. We picked about a month. We have been saving school (Continued on page 4) Last Week To Enlist County, Town Taxes Those who have not listed their 1943 taxes in CherryVille and Cherrvville Township are re minded by E. E.

Italian Education vs. North Car. Education It’s a cu incidence that I road in yesterday's Raleigh paper uf the introduction of a hill in the state legislature to prov'ide a nine month’s school term for the children of North Carolina—to give them 180 days of schooling per year instead of 11>0 days— a bill will meet violent opposition and if passed will be in such shape as to allow some counties to keep the tern^ at 100 days—this is a long sentenco but I'm com ing to the point—it's a co inci dence 1 say that soon after read ing that I picked up Mr. J. A. Osborne’s Virginia Gazette and read this: “School days are cut to the bone for the children of Italy! Due to a fuel shortage Italy’s Undersecretary of Education has reduced next year's school days to 173 days, the shortest term in Italian history.” The story goes on to say that if the term is cut to 173 days then parents will be expected to see that the children study at home to make up for the time they are cut out of at school. It’s funny, isn’t it? “Enlight ened” North Carolina balks at giving her children 180 days, while unspeakable Italy cuts to 173 only because of the stress of war. I say it with all respect to those in the country who need their children on the farms dur ing the war.—-John G. Bragaw in tha Washington Naws, Janu ary 8, 1942. RALEIGH, Feb. 10.—The pre sent legislature is the wettest we have had in 30 years. No chance at all for a referendum or any other legislation that would help the dry cause in the state or any part of the state. The so called Wine Control bill is positive proof of this fact. This bill passed the House by a roll call v'ote of 61 to 46. The bill provides for the sale of wine of 20 per cent alcohol in ninety seven of the counties. This in fact makes the state wet for that this content of wine means the equivalent of 44 per cent li quor and will make drunkards just the same as common liquor as it is said that wine will make people deathly sick and drunk and destroy them quicker than liquor. The Cherryville representative measure. The Gastonia represen tative was for the bill. Many representatives stated they had scores of telegrams and resolu tions but that they knew the peo ple back home did not know what was in the bill and proceeded to vote their own sentiments. That is to say about fifty representativ es from the 75 drv counties ig nored the wfishes of the people back home and Voted to make the state wine-wet. Three counties had heretofore prohibited the sale of wine and beer by legislative enactment. The sponsors of the bill agreed to exempt these coun ties and the representatives voted for the bill. That is a sample of the horse trading you come up against here. In the face of that agreement and the exemption of the three counties the House refused to exempt any other coun ty by amendments offered. There will be a public hearing on the state wide liquor referen dum bill offered by representative Price of Rutherford county. This bill is offered at the instance of the United Dry Forces of the state. My prediction is that it will never get to the floor of the House or if it does it will be kill ed without an opportunity for discussion. In fact it appears that the legislative set-up is such that the entire state may be authoriz ed to establish liquor stores with out the consent to the people. This is what 'was done with the first seventeen counties that were permitted by legislative authority to establish A. B. C. stores and the stores were established with out the consent of a single citizen in said counties except the repre sentative in Raleigh. There is pending before the House a bill to prohibit the sale of wines and beers from Satur day night until Monday morning. With the action by our colleague there is Very little chance of pass ing the bill. I understand sellers of beer In the county would not seriously object to the bill but there is a little opposition to the bill. However, under the bill passed in the House Tuesday it is doubtful if beer can be sold by ai:y cafe dr other place in the town of Cherryville at any time. Tile bill was amended so as to provide for the sale of wines only in places having A Grade "A” rating. The big committees, Finance and Appropriations, are hoping to finish the main part of their work this week and if that is done their business will be in shape so that adjournment can be had in February, anfT If this is done it will be the shortest session in the history of the state so far as th% present members can recall. More and more is being said about the changes in the school law. It appears certain now that, the ninth month will be added to the term and in addition it is the concensus of opinion that there will be an increase in teachers salaries anywhere from ten per cent to fifteen per cent. Most likely the increase will not exceed ten per cent. I Dry Good Stores To Change Hours, 15th.
