Bloodmobile Visit
November 16
The Bloodmobile will visit here
on Thursday, November 16th. The
unit will be set up in the base
ment of the First Baptist Church
from 10:00 a. m. to 2:00 p. m.
Dr. Melvin W. Webb will be at
tending physician and Mrs. Max
Proffitt attending nurse. The
Gray Ladies will assist in the
operation.
Th e quota for this visit is set
at 125 pints. The county quota
N. C. Wheat Re
duction Assured
/
Raleigh—ls wheat farmers in
other states follow the example
already set by wheat farmers in
North Carolina, Government
storage bins will not be as bulg
ing and will not impose, near such
an expensive burden as they have
in the past. According to A. P.
Hassell, Jr, Executive Director
for the Agricultural Stabilization
anrl Conservation State Committee
through October 26 after farmers
have had 23 days in which to
signup in the 1962 W! eat Stabili
zation Program over 25 percent
of the farms in North Carolina i
which are eligible to participate!
in the program h a d already'
signed up to participate. In addi-1
tion, according to Hassell, the
great majority of these farmers
who have signed up' .contracted
to divert more acreage from the
production of wheat than the
minimum reduction,.
In spite 0 f weathej conditions,
Hassell feels sure that a sub
stantial reduction in wheat pro
duction will be achieved compar
ed with this year’s— crop. How
ever, he said that achievements of
the program, should be judged not
by what was produced this year
without the program, but by what
is produced next year with the
program, as compared to what
would have been produced next
year without the program.
-Hassell reviewed the objectives
of the 1962 Wheat Stabilization
Program bringing out the fact
that one of the major objectives
and indicated accomplishment is
to stop the buildup of excessive
wheat, in fact to reduce pre
sent stocks which in the past
have been carried over from one
year to the next. This, he said,
would greatly reduce Govern
ment storage costs, at the same
time this benefit to overall eco
nomy is being accomplished. The
final objectives of the program is
to stabilize the farmers income
So that he will not be penalized
for reducing his plantings of
wheat, and for carrying out ap
proved conservation practices on
this land which otherwise would
have been planted ( 0 wheat.

A large number of persons
have received blood which needs

county needs the protection that

fortunately, too many people,
possibly not aware of the protec

ity the Blood Program provides,
lave been indifferent to the con
stant appeals. Every donation of
.blood enhances one’s chances of
safely overcoming an accident or
unexpected illness. In contribut
ing to the Red Cross Blood Pro
gram one literally scores up a
life-saving account for himself,
family or neighbor. Everyone
should plan to donate to a cause
which is singularly noble while at
the same time self-serving.

River came on to upset the Panth
ers and take the championship,
13-6, in 1959. Last year’s rame
ended in a' 20-20 tie.
The two teams have met one
additional time. East Tancry to»k
