NORTH^CAROLINAl^IHUliSDAY^BBRUAR^L^m =====—— — 'i 1 'i'i1 ■ ——_: ;—; _ No. 18 Weed Compact Policy Seen For * State This Year Senate Enacts Legislation For % Control of North Carolina’s 1937 Tobacco Crop; No Opr position to Measure. FREEDOM TO CHALLENGE ^ ALLOTMENTS IS NOTED Control Seen Provided Georgia and South Carolina Also Enact Measure ■ ■■ ■■ Raleigh, Feb. 4.—Under sus pension of rules, the Senate Wednesday rushed to enact the tobacco compact bill, making control of the state’s principal crop a reality for 1937 if South Carolina and Georgia also en-»{ act it. Not a murmur of opposition greeted the bill in the Senate after W. G. Clark, of Edgecom b>e. chairman of the Senate £g ' ricuftural Committed, pleaded for passage of the bill as an< “emergency measure.” He an I nounced appointment of a sub . committee to draft a supple ment bill clarifying the grow er’s right to appeal or to chal lenge allotments. “It’s up to Georgia and South Carolina now,” legislative lead ers said last night after the long-awaited compacts measure had been passed. Representa tive Fenner, chairman of the House Agricultural Committee, said Georgia would start plant * ing the new crop by March 15 or 20 and said he hoped for speedy enactment in the other states. "I don’t know that we’ll peti r tion them to that effect, how ever,” he said. ‘^Sending down a deiegatfon or urging passage of the bill might make the le gislators resent it.” The bill reached the Senate Tuesday after passage in the House Monday, but Senator Jeff D. Johnson, of Sampson, had it referred back to the com mittee so the “appeal” provi sions might be clarified. Senator Johnson was among the Senators named to the sub committee which will probably * meet today to begin work on drafting a supplemental bill to ^include maximum allotments on a precentage basis and a board of equalization and review for } appeals and challenges. Governor Hoey advocated to bacco control legislation in his campaign last spring. At that time, thousands of Eastern North Carolina farmers march ed on the Capitol and heard Governor Ehringhaus refuse to call a special session to enact compact legislation. Virginia, whose favorable action is also a requisite to control under the bill, passed it last year. The act makes the percent 1 age of cultivated acreage in to bacco a -factor in determining allotments,” declared Harry B. Caldwell, legislative represen tative of the State Grange. “It * provides for publicity in each township on the allotment of each grower and other informa tion. It safeguards the little man’s rights by providing a minimum of 3.2 acres for him. ‘TThese inclusions in the bill, advocated by Dr. Clarence Poe, editor of The Progressive Far mer, and the Grange, have im proved it, and we will support any other provisions consider f ed in the sub-committee to pro vide additional safeguards.” Marriage Licenses Issued The office of the Register of Deeds reports that during the past week six couples, three white and three colored, secur ed licenses to marry. White couples were Phil Chesmore, Carrie Howard; Kelly Hardi , son, Lois Ketchside; James ‘ Clyde McAbee, Mary Virginia Padgett. Colored couples were Herman Sykes, Janie Banner man; Walter Hardy, Sarah Boone; George Blount, Annie Queen Kornegay. * Barden Takes Leading Action In Duplin School Development - a _ Through dynamic action on the part of Congressman Graham A. Barden the Duplin board of county commissioners and the board of education were able Thursday to bring nearer a head a school construction problem lagging for over a year, as Federal authorities promised Duplin representativ es quick action on proposals for additions to schools throughout the county.

Grady, six at Beulaville, and four at Chin quapin; and gymnasiums at I Chinquapin and Magnolia, have been dormant since August, 1935, and county education offi cials had given up hope of get ting Federal assistance until it was suggested that Congress ional backing might solve the need.

Employment Service Plans Cooperation With Growers At a meeting of strawberry growers in Rose Hill yester day afternon it was indicated that Duplin growers this year will cooperate more fully with the North Carolina State Employment Service in its planned program to furnish pickers during the approach ing season. The system was inaugurat ed last year and its success, together with the interest of growers throughout the world’s greatest strawberry growing and shipping area, has caused the service to plan for the establishment of offices here again this year and in Rose Hill also. A similar meeting to dis cuss the program was held here January 29 and B. K. Ward, district employment service official, stated today that another meeting would be scheduled to disseminate further information regard I ' . ing the plans for this season. Growers in the Rose Hill section will also attend an other meeting Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock at Bill’s Cash Grocery. The service plans to re lieve growers of the necess ity of securing pickers by vir tue of its organization which can enlist pickers within a few hours after a grower places an order. Such a po licy eliminates hiring of “runners” and alleviates un employment in larger cities of North Carolina. The ser vice guarantees pickers from its waiting list of unemploy ed and its contacts in every city allow for facility in fill ing orders. Ward said that offices would be established here at a date not-later than March 15, which should afford ade quate placements and surveys I of local needs. i Founders Day To Be Noted Locally Former State Parent - Teacher Official Coming Here For Address Mrs. A.
