James Car rol caught a 6-pound bass and Fred Chambers an 8 1/4 pound bass. Our informant didn't say what the other fellows caught.... colds, maybe. -J You know, when you stop and try to figure where your pay check is going each week, you realize that a dollar bill doesn't do as much for you today as it used to. But on the other hand, you don't do as much for a dollar, either. -J Recently, we had the pleas ure of attending a party where the guests were sent on a scavenger hunt. Among the Items to bring back was a corn cob pipe. Bud Alexander, being one of the last to re turn, brought in a pipe made out of a golf ball and swore it was a corn cob. Now, here's the thought behind this little story: Since Bud is an avid golfer, we wonder if he has been hitting a corn cob all over the golf course all these years thinking it was a golf ball. -J Here's an opportunity for high school students to make a seven-day trip to Washing ton, D.

Burley Tobacco Referendum To Be Feb. 25 There is an urgent request for a record favorable vote in today's burley tobacco quota referendum. This re ferendum will determine whether or not burley tobacco production remains a profit able enterprise for Cherokee County farmers. At stake in the balloting today Is the burley tobacco marketing quota program, which provides a system of government- administered production controls and price supports for the crop. The fate of the program is placed in the hands of growers every three years in a spe cial referendum. A two thirds favorable majority of those voting is required if the quota and support plan is to be retained. Growers are warned not to misunderstand what the re ferendum issue is. They are not voting on acreage cuts or poundage controls. They will be deciding whether to con tinue our present tobacco pro gram or have no program at aU. Anyone who shares in in come from the production of burley tobacco Is eligible to vote in today's referendum. Age does not afTect eligibi lity. If growers will sit down and ponder what this program has meant to them they won't fall to do their part at the polls today. The value of the area burley crop has increased un der the present program from less than 91 million in 1940 to some 913 million in 1964. Knowledgeable spokesmen es timate that market sales av eraged would be slashed In half upon loss of the program. Operating without a pro gram in 1939, growers sold their burley crops for an av erage of 16.7 cents per pound. In 1964, there was a support rate of 56.9 cents per pound. In the 1962 burley quota referendum, 99.2 per cent of the growers voting put their tump of approval on contin uation of the program Some 177,000 eligible voters in bur ley sums turned out to the polls. Tobacco growers have to have a strong showing again this year if they expect Con gress to support them. Photo By Scout Studio l-OCAl. C.IRL SCOI IS who met at the John C.

Clyde Faulkner HAYESVILLE- Rev. George Dalton and I had the privi lege of being among the twenty-five Methodist who < gave two weeks In Puerto Ri co. We gave the two weeks to help build a Methodist Church and never before in our lives did we feel that we were working more for the Kingdom. We felt that every word spoken and every deed done was a witness for our Lord. We were also aware that we represented the Un ited States to those fellow Americans in Puerto Rico, an associated free state waver ing between independence statehood, and commonwealth status. We had this rare privilege because of the dreams and plans bf Dr. N. M. Harrison of High Point. Our purpose In going to Puerto Rico was to build a church with free labor and equally important was our intent to leave a good image of the Methodist Church. We assisted In the cons; true lion of a sanctuary 34 s 36 and an education building 14 x 33 with cement blocks. In our gtovf were contract ors, brick masons, carpen ters, plumbers, ministers and two laywomen. The lo cation of the newly erected sanctuary is In ? mountain town twenty miles inland from Arecibo, seventy mile* south west of San Juan. We stayed at Camp Corson, a Methodist Youth Camp, lo cated twenty three mile* from the building site. We attended services at dif ferent Methodist churches on Sunday. The spirit was warn and the people were gracious! the churches are growing and we know that God Is there. We received more than we gave. Methodists are the largest Protestant group in Puerto Rico; however, many people there have never bean con tacted by a church. The postmaster in Bayamen. near San Juan, told us that the field Is white unto harvest. The Puerto Rican Con ference has 48 charge*, sev en of which are self-support ing. The District Superin tendents, Rafael Boissen, and his ministers whom we met are very capable and they were most gracMla to us. They were good heats, and they are good soldiers for Christ. when we left Puerto Rico, we left a new sanctuary and an educational building more than that we lift abiding spirit of Chlrstian love and witness.
