a kid with a new toy” when he
left.
Rep. Carl T. Durham of Chapel

House Armed Services committee,
also had planned tentatively to

BURGLARS LOSE
NIGHTSLABOR
Yegg* Enter Firm, Take Safe
And Truck; Lose Safe,
Abandon Truck
NOT YET APPREHENDED
Burglars stole a safe and a
truck here last week, but lost the
safe and abandoned the truck to
end a hard night’s work for
nothing.
Policemen reported that the
i yeggs broke into Elkin Lumber
and Manufacturing Company
early Thursday morning and haul
ed the company safe outside. To
load it on one of the company's
trucks, another truck was used
to pull the iron box up a slide of
4 by 4 rails.
But soon after the safe was
loaded, it was lost—unknowingly
by the thieves, policemen believe.
Chief Corbett Wall reported
that the truck was found near
Lomax and that the safe was
found near the place from which
it was stolen.
“Evidently, the safe was thrown
from the truck when they turned
a corner too sharp. It apparently
hit a rail which was protruding at
the roadside. I don’t believe they
were aware of the fact that the
safe was lost until they got to
the spot where the truck was
found,” Mr. Wall added.
Search is still being made for
the culprits.

The Old Hickory Council for
j mally subscribed to the Boy Scout
Crusade to “Strengthen the Arm
of Liberty” at the Y.M.C.A. Thurs
day night with the district chair
men and district commissioners

Council President John Brown

with the light presented to him
at Raleigh when the councils of
the state met with Governor Kerr
Scott in a ceremony where the
councils gave the Pledge of the
Crusade. Torches were lit simul
taneously by Eagle Scouts in the
capital of each state with an Eagle
Scout who lighted his torch from

ville Hendren, district chairman
of the Elkin - Yadkin district,
pointed out the timeliness of the
Crusade and reminded the council
that "Liberty is not only a her
itage, it is a fresh conquest for
each generation. In a few years
the youth of today will take part
in that conquest.”
“Our country will be given into
their hands,” he continued. "Up
on their shoulders we are laying
a burden heavier than anyone
ever imposed on any generation of
American youth. The way they
deal with their responsibilities
depends largely upon the resources
which we of the present gener
ation give them now.”
Each unit in the council is ex
pected to pledge to have more
trained leadership, have more
effective programs, and to in
crease membership. The council
and districts will recognize each
member of the units with appro

“I am today recommending that

dently done a splendid job and
have the good will and affection
and admiration of the community.
I am sorry that I had to pick
one man among several friends,

LEAF ACREAGE
INCREASED IN
SURRY FOR ’49
County To Have Additional
700 Acres For Tobacco
FIVE PER CENT IN N. C.
Individual Allotment Notices
Are Mailed To All To
bacco Farmers
408.4 ACRES FOR ELKIN
A tobacco allotment of 14,746.4
acres has been designated for
Surry County. Dobson township
leads with 2,353 acres. Elkin town
ship is permitted 408.4.
A state-wide increase of five
per cent brings Surry’s allotment
to more than 700 acres more than
last year’s.
Hal E. Collins, secretary of the
county AAA office at Dobson
pointed out this week that Surry
County ran true to form with
other tobacco producing counties
of the state in that many farmers
failed to plant the total allowed.
Individual allotment notices have
or will be mailed to tobacco farm
ers of Surry.
Mr. Collins warned tobacco
farmers that planting over the
prescribed approved figure would
result in a penalty on each pound
of tobacco sold. During the past
season farmers were penalized 16
cents per pound on all excess to
bacco grown. The penalty for the
coming season has not as yet
been announced.
The breakdown of tobacco allot
ments by communities in the
county is as follows:
Bryan, 596: Dobson, 2,353; El
dora, 1,237; Elkin, 408.4; Franklin,
194.4; Long Hill, 488.2; Marsh,
721.5; Mount Airy, 1,783.7; Pilot,
1,088.3; Rockford, 976.2; Shoals,
1,099.4; Siloam, 720.1; Stewarts
Creek, 1,012.3; and Westfield, 2,
045.6.
Meanwhile the Tobacco Asso
ciates report for January has
pointed out that flue-cured grow
ers should give more attention to
the production of cigarette quality
tobacco "if we are to capitalize
on advantages we now have in
taste and aroma and to meet the
domestic and foreign demand for
U. S. tobacco that will make good
uniform cigarettes.”
‘‘Farmers have a much larger
stake in the production of cigar
ette quality (tobacco) than is gen
erally realized,” the report con
tinued.
“Talks with representatives of
domestic manufacturers and the
foreign trade reveal that they
want a tobacco that carries these
properties: low nicotine content;
high sugar content; light body;
bright color, porous and fluffy
texture, and a clean and mer
chantable product.”
CHANGE ASKED
FOR CHARTER
Bill Would Place The Town of
Boonville Under Gen
eral Statutes
HARDING INTRODUCES
Representative P. D. B. Harding
of Yadkinville, last week introduc
ed legislation in the House of
Representatives which, if approv
ed, will place the town of Boon
ville under the General Statutes,
giving it all the rights of other
cities in the State. The bill was
requested by the Mayor and other
Boonville officials.
The bill would amend Boon
ville’s 1895 charter and provides
that except as otherwise noted in
the charter, all provisions of Chap
ter 160 of the General Statutes
would apply to Boonville.
Chapter 160 is North Carolina's
complete municipal government
outlined and sets forth methods
of electing mayors and town of
ficials, of levying taxes, paving
streets and the like.
Reason for the bill, it was un
derstood, is that Boonville con
templates some street and other
municipal construction.

Show, Sale
To Feature
Elkin Affair
The fourth annual North Caro
lina Aberdeen-Angus Breeders’
Association Show and Sale will
be held here next week, Sam
Neaves, of Elkin, president of the
association, announced.
The show will begin Wednes
day at 10 a.m., and the sale at
1 p.m., both at the Elkin Live
stock Exposition Building.
Cattle have been selected from
leading herds of Aberdeen-Angus
in the two Carolinas and Virginia.
They represent the most popular
breeding in this country and Scot
land.
Joe Keefauver, president of the
Southeastern Aberdeen -Angus
Breeders’ Association and a mem
ber of the Keefauver Brothers
Angus Farm of Kingsport, Tenn.,
will judge.
Col. Paul Good, of Van Wert,
Ohio, will be the auctioneer.
The sale will consist of eight
bulls and 36 females. The cattle
are sired by some of the greater
bulls of Angus Breed. Many of
them trace back to International
Champion animals.
The annual association banquet
will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday
at the Hotel Elkin. A full-color
sound movie, “On America’s Angus
Trails,” will be shown. The movie
features the production of more
grass and better beef cattle in
all sections of the United States.
It deals with both commercial
and purebred beef cattle produc
tion.
Since the basis of soil improve
ment and conservation is proper
balance between cropped land and
grazed grasslands, the movie em
phasizes the importance of beef
cattle in a sound land-use pro
gram. Grass is pictured as prob
ably the most important item in
herd management. The movie
shows the widespread growth of
the Angus breed in America since
the first importation in 1873 by
George Grant of Victoria, Kansas.
The Angus breed is the youngest
of the major beef breeds to reach
this country.
