TOBACCO QUOTAS TO
BE GIVEN APRIL 1
State Office Is Now Apportion
ing County Quotas From
State Quotas,
i
Cotton and tobacco marketing
quotas for individual farmers will
probably be announced by April 1
or sooner, according to E. Y. Floyd,
AAA executive office at State Col
lege.
The state AAA office is now ap
portioning county quotas from the
state quotas, and as soon as these
are determined they will be passed
on to the county committees.
Under the marketing quotas en
dorsed by farmers voting in the
March 12 referenda, North Carolina
has been allotted 572,000 acres of to
bacco and 902,000 acres of cotton
for 1938.
These allotments will be divided
among the cotton and tobacco grow
ing counties according to the acre
ages of these crops they have been
grpwing in the past.
In calculating individual growers’
allotments, county committees will
consider the size of the farm, the i
past production, the suitability of
the farm to grow cotton or tobacco,
size of the family, amount of equip
ment on the farm, and other con- !
ditions. >
A grower’s marketing quota of
'cotton will be all that he can grow
on his allotted acreage. I
The tobacco marketing quota will 1
be determined from the acreage al
lotment on a basis of the- past aver- 1
age tobacco yield per acre. i
Penalties will be imposed upon '
growers who exceed their quotas. I

City Manager Makes Statement
The general health, happiness, life safety and welfare cf each of our
citizens depends upon wholesome surroundings and good clean living con- 1
ditions. Winter accumulations in vacant lots, yards, industries and homes |
are not only disease breeders but potential fire hazards. Our city should
stimulate its civic pride by transforming every danger signal into a beau- 1
ty spot.
Therefore, since the Mayor has designated and proclaimed the week
beginning March 21, as Clean-Up Week, I urge upon all civic and trade
associations, educational institutions, both private and public, and the
citizens in general to take active part in the constructive program plan
ned for community welfare.

Only One Youth Movement Now Where There Were One

Editorial Note: In the following ar

Kenan traveling professor in the
University of North Carolina, who
lis studying conditions in Europe,
gives a clear, concise word picture of
| how Adolf Hitler has been able to
I fuse more than one hujndred dif
| ferent youth movements into one
strong, unified organization to which
i every youth belongs, even though
membership is not exactly compul
sory.
By HAROLD D. MEYER
There is in the Reich today only
one youth organization. All the
boys and girls of Germany belong
o this group and it numbers near
y nine millions. There are no other
| outh groups nor can any others be
> formed. In keeping with the total
t iarian state we find this totalitari
,an youth group in full unity of
; organization and program. While it
has existed but a few years it has
assumed gigantic bases of activity
and great magnitude of power.
Its leader, Baldur von Schirach,
was appointed by Adolf Hitler in
j 1931 and in July 1933 effected the
I present organization. The leaders'
of modem Germany are fully
aware of the values in training
youth. Nothing is left undone to
I assure the success of the program.
While these leaders know that a
youth movement cannot determine |
present policies they realize the im
portance of properly directing the
| interests and thinking of youth. |
Historical Beginnings
I Prior to the World War the youth •
movement in Germany was largely!
( under educational leadership. The
program consisted of activities
stressing the mental, moral and so-
C’al interests of youths between the
ages of fourteen and twenty-tone.
They attempted to properly satisfy
the leisure hours of youth along
educational lines.. Although the
cultural Conservation payments foi
work done in 1937.
)lder generation controlled the
ituation, often there appeared
open revolt within the groups 1
themselves against the traditions of!
secondary education and the acad-1
emic grind which took little cogniJ
zance of the physical and spiritual
needs of the younger generation.!
The first youth hostels were organi-1
zed at this time and. many youth
clubs and groups were springing 1
lup independently all over the 1
| country. German youth was turn-
ing to nature and hiking along with!
folk singing and dancing grew very 1
popular. German youngfolks werel
even becoming interested in new
religious cults and new political
ideas. I
, The world war caused a ceces-1
sion of all activities of this nature
and full unity and concentration of
the people was devoted to the task
of war. The results that determined
, this conflict are well known to
those of this generation. Germany
I attempted a Republican form of
| government. General social and ec
onomic confusion resulted. In this
j confusion sprang up large numbers
jof youth groups representative of
many educational, political and
social viewpoints. The nation was 1
divided into many groups with a 1
wide range of concepts regarding'
the future as well as the then pres
ent status. Youth entered vigorous
ly into this confusion and respond
ed readily to every whim and fancy
[of opportunity that might savor of 1
security.
As an illustration, in the early
mineteen twenties there existed
more than a hundred leading youth
organizations, all attempting to
gain power and prestige and build
forward. There were nineteen po
litical groups, twenty major voca
tional organizations, fifteen sport '

DR. CAUDLE TO
START WORK IN |
COUNTY SCHOOLS
Will Do Dental Work Until Clos
ing Os School; Much Work
To Be Done In All Schools
OTHER HEALTH NEWS
Dr. Caudle of the State Board of
Health, will start dental work in
the schools of Person County next
Tuesday and will continue this
work until the closing of schools.
All this work will be in the white
schools of Person. Since there was
no dentist in the white schools last
year there is an unusually large a- J
mount of work to be done and Dr.
Caudle expects to be very busy.
He will arrive in Roxboro Monday j
and will announce his schedule la-1
ter. He expects to visit all of the
larger schools if that is possible.
There is much interest in the ar
rival of the state dentist. Parents
have been asking about this work
for some time and he will receive
a warm welcome.
The fluoroscope will arrive in
Roxboro on April 6th and patients
will be examined in four hour
shifts.
Dr. Alien, of the health depart
ment, announced last week that 57
patients were being treated for
syphilis and that all were taking the
treatments unless they were ex
cused. Fifty-one out of fifty-seven
were treated last Thursday and the
six who were not present had ex
cuses.
It generally takes one year to
cure syphilis even in a mild case.
Blood tests are given during the
jear in order to see how the patient
is responding.

This county is going to have' a
beautiful course. More time will be
required, but there is going to be a
good course here sooner or later.
Everyone is invited to go out
and inspect the work that has
been done. More will be accom- 1
dished this week.
ALONG THE WAY— ALL APPEARS
TO BE QUIET - NO NEWS
This week has been designated
as “Clean-Up Week” and there’s no
Reason why we all can’t join in and

bath can be included in the pro

George Cushwa managed to get
