Co. Com missioners Behind Project. Trip May Be Made To Washing ton, D. C. Officials of the Chamber of Com merce realize that a real fight will have to be made if Person County even gets a chance at the veteran’s hospital that is to be built soon, but they are prepared to make ’that fight. Person County is going to try to land the veteran’s hospital that will call for an expenditure of $1,500,000 of government money. [ Persoh County citizens realize that many large cities are after the hospital, but they also know that it you do not make an effort to get projects of this kind you never wilL . Therefore a determined effort win ! be made. O. B. Mcßroom, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and Jack . Bane, secretary, are determined . that the officials in charge know of the good things that this county of . fers. The directors are in favor of . the atlempt and many other or- E gamzations are now taking up the fight. i The government asks for nothing, i not even the 50 acres of land that - are necessary. In spite of this many ! places have offered land and moa ; ey. So far Person County has of » sered nothing free. 3 Thu iOtStlUff that Will be suggest , ed has not been decided upon. Many i are inclined to favor a location in , the eastern part of the county about two miles from Roxboro. This site - is on a large hill and is commonly called Hugh Woods’ mountain. Roxboro has a good mild climate, i very healthful, proper transporta i tion and other things that are neces sary for the hospital. The Kiwanis Club and the coun ty commissioners have approved the plan and the Rotary Club will take 1 some action tonight. Later a dele -1 gation from this county may go to Washington and interview the pro per officials and place Person Coun ty s bid in the hands of the proper party. The fight is on and will be con tinued. o SENTIMENT SEEMS TO FAVOR CONTROL Times Reporter Interviews Num ber Os Farmers Who Say They Will Vote For Control Final Information Given Today Altho H. K. Sanders, county a gent, has written a number of art icles concerning the new crop con trol bill here is one from a report er of the Times who is not even con nected with the farm agent’s office. After interviewing a large num ber of farmers in Person County this reporter is of the opinion that the people here will vote in favor of the bill. There will be some op position to it, there always is to any bill, but a majority will pro bably cast a ballot in its favor. Person farmers have not forgotten the low. prices that tobacco brought back in the days when tobacco was really low and they know that it can happen again. The polls will open Saturday morning, March 12th at 7:00 a. m. and will remain open until 7:00 p. m. A majority of those who are eligible to vote will do so altho there will be some who will not vote at all. An article in today’s Times gives the following places and instruct ions to those who wish to vote. This reporter may be wrong a bout the outcome of the “election.” The Literary Digest was wrong one Wie. However a majority of the farmers who have been interview ed say “yes.”
