Second, that a church has a budget, that it keeps individual records of all contributions, and that it seeks to secure a written annual pledge from each church and Sunday school member.

Registration Books to Open Oct. 15 Persons who want to register so that they may vote Nov. 8 may do so Oet. is and the two weeks there after. Gov. Luther Hodgos has issued the following statement regarding registration and voting: Now is the time to make sure every eligible citizen in North Car olina is registered for voting in the general election. Registration books will be open during the period October 15-29. There are over two and one-half million citizens eligible to vote in North Carolina. However, only about one-half of these voted in the Presidential election in 1956. There are two reasons for this failure failure to register and lack of con cern for public affairs. h has been estimated that there are approximately one-half mil lion unregistered voters in North Carolina. The registration of these citizens is a great civic challenge and responsibility. As Governor, I wish that every citizen of this state could understand that one of the most precious privileges of American citizenship is voting by secret ballot in free elections. Vote for the party of your choice, but VOTE. Four-fifths of the people of the world have no voice in the gov ernment under which they live. But when we Americans compare our voting record with that of other free countries, it comes as a shock to realize that our turnout at the polls is far below theirs. Fifteen free countries have vot ing percentages from 95 per cent to 67 per cent in recent elections in comparison to the United States’ 51 per cent in 1948, 62 per cent in 1952,and 60 per cent in 1956. To be able to cast a ballot, the potential voter MUST BE REGIS TERED. In the 1956 Presidential election, some forty million Ameri cans did not register and were therefore unable to vote. Every vote is important—your vote does count. . f t. urge each eligible citizen o£ North Carolina to study the true issues in this campaign — be in formed, register and vote. >...

New Nematode Controls Now Recommended Raleigh—Om hundred dollar* for one hour’s work! That’* the re turn you may realize from a now nematode eontrol program develop ed by disease control apeeiallat* at NC State college. It's a long-range program plan ned according to the severity of the nematode problem in each field planted in tobacco, according to tobacco disease specialist Furney Todd. Main ingredient of the newpro gram is “reading the roots” or measuring the degree of nematode infestation. Then, through the use of a “root-knot index” the long range program is developed. But to be effective the program must he put into effect within a few days after the final tobacco leaves are removed from the stalks, Todd emphasizes. The specialist says about one man hour of labor is required for reading the roots on each acre. A sample system is used whereby about one of each 200 roots is in spected. Research has shown that in a severe infestation a good control program can increase returns by as much as $300 per acre. If the infestation is light and the soil is fumigated where it is not needed, the grower' can decrease his net returns by as much as $50 to $100 an acre. Thus, the conservative figure of $100 per acre for the in vestment of one hour's time. "About half the growers are using fumigants,” Mr. Todd says. "While many growers need this fumigation, others are wasting money." Soil fumigation is of value only where nematodes are a problem. Where nematodes afe not a prob lem, you can hurt your crop by using a fumigant, Todd empha sizes. County agricultural agents in all flue-cured tobacco growing coun ties are now receiving instructions on the new program. Alcohol Agent Fails In Pose as Bean Picker Portland, Ore.
