THE PERQUIMAJJS WEEKLY, HERTFdRP, N. C, FKIDAY, MAY 10, 1940 PAGE SEVEN 1 vs. 1 i r fir--' it - - jX if: 1 W Buy Travel On The Installment Plan; ;-Vrt . . , . t ..... ivn Step Taken By Rail roads to Give Travel Credit Seen as Most Dramatic Ever Taken Into the news this week comes an unusual announcement that will bring cheer to the hearts of the le gions of substantial Americans who . want to travel but "can't spare the money right sow." The announcement brings assur .'ance to millions that the slogan, ""1940' is 'Travel America Year" really means something after all. From now on you can literally travel and pay later! A Travel Credit Plan, sponsored by 66 great railroads, makes possible the purchase of railway trips and tours in the same manner that you buy your car or radio i-on convenient monthly payments. The plan, which becomes effective Hay 20th, is so simple that every body is surprised that nobody thought of it before. The prospective traveller merefly goes to the ticket office of the co operating railway over whose lines he wishes to travel, or to a travel agent, and makes applicationjfor. cre dit in the amount of the proposed " trip or tour. If the routine v.isedit inquiry indicates an ability to meet r monthly payments, he is notified that his ticket is ready for him. The whole thing is passed upon within 24 hours. And use of the Travel Credit Plan requires no collateral only the sig nature of the individual. The cost of the trip, however, must total $50 or more to be eligible for purchase on credit. No down payment is requir ed, but there is a small service charge for the credit accomodation. Economists look upon the plan as probably the most dramatic and far reaching step ever taken by the roads in their efforts to make rail travel a commodity whichcan be enjoyed by the whole public. It is regarded as evidence of the progressive policy of the American railroads of today, alert to every opportunity for pro viding new and improved, service. Nearly all of the railroads in the United States, including the Norfolk Southern, are party to this install ment purchase plan, which permits of travel anywhere. It is predicted that the largest use of the Travel Credit Plan will be foi vacations and other recreational trips and tours, although the service is in tended to cover any form of railway travel. Credit is not necessarily con . fined to the cost of transportation alone. It may be used for Pullman accommodations, all-expense tours, which usually include hotels and meals, specified side-trips and any service that is sold through the rail road ticket office.

EXTRA FLAVOR- aT 0 00 ....miuaak Farm Plans Signed By S05 Growers A total of 905 growers of Per quimans County will cooperate with the 1940 Agricultural Conservation Program, E. Y. Floyd, AAA execu tive officer of N. C. State College, announced following receipt of sign ed Farm Plans signifying such in tention. The Triple-A lists 905 farms in this county. The "sign-up" for the ia40 pro gram is an increase over the 857 farmers who earned payments under the 1939 Agricultural Conservation program. Floyd expressed himself as highly pleased over the participa tion indicated in this county. Every farmer in the county was given an, opportunity to sign a Farm Plan, on which he listed the soil building practices he intends to carry out. He received a copy of the Farm Plan which showed the type of practices in the program, and how much he could earn from each. The Plan also listed the individual grow er's allotments for soil depleting crops, which he must plant within to earn payments. Floyd said that in the State as a whole, Farm Plans were signed by 223,104 out of the 236,546 eligible farmers. This is an approximate 94 percent "sign-up" and is a decided contrast with the 113,598 farms on which payments were earned in 1939. "A preliminary check of the Farm Plans shows that more farms will be operated under conservation method than ever before," Floyd declared. '.'The approved practices, such as the application of lime and phosphate, seeding legumes and grasses, the use of cover and green-manure crops, and tree planting will have their greatest use in the State this year."
