As a result, tftey couldn't meet mortgage payments and other obligations. They couldn't buy machinery, furniture clothing or other necessities. "Whole communities suffered from these crop losses," he added, "but with crop insurance it needn't have happened. Crop insurance would have protected crop investments and would have absorbed the economic shock to the communities." The present' program offers cotton growers a choice of coverage of 60 or 75 per cent of their average farm yields, and protects against such un avoidable hazards as drought, floods, frost, wildlife, snow, excessive rain fall, hail, fire, lightning, wind, plant disease, winterkill and;inseots. The insurance program is ad ministered locally by the AAA, and growers have until April 10, 1945 to apply. Complete information and rates for individual farms can be obtained at the local Triple-A office. THREE MASSES AT CATHOLIC ' r CHURCH KASTER SUNDAY '..

"There is a special provision for the deferment of "hardship cases," but according to the standards set up to qualify a registrant for de ferment under this provision, it ia evident that very few registrants will be deferred as "hardship cases." The government has made provisions for the care of a registrant's de pendents. "Referring to the confusing and controversial publicity relative to the Selective Service program and policies, It is generally accepted that the local boards have full authority to classify a registrant in accord with their judgment and findings in each case. However, Selective Ser vice Headquarters has issued 'direc tives' that must be complied with and it is not an arbitrary matter with the local board. Under the present policy of the Selective Ser vice System, it is practically man datory that all registrants within the age limit mentioned above be placed in the classification of 1-A.

Services will be held at New Hope at 11 a. m., and the subject of the sermon will be "The Easter Parade." At Oak Grove the services will be held at 3:30 o'clock with the sermon being "Easter Journey." At 8 o'clock Sun day night dedication services for the Altar Crosses donated by the Ep worth Church by Chaplain Paul Sand ers, formerly at Harvey Point, will be conducted. The Rev. Mr. Cranford announced that repairs on Cedar Grove had been delayed until next Monday and that Sunday School would be held there as usual. Trade Meeting Set For Friday, April 6 A trade meeting of merchants af fected by the OPA regulation 580, relative to price control on wearing apparel and house furnishings will be held at the Agriculture Building in Hertford at 8 o'clock Friday night, April 6, Miss Mary Frances Dail, price clerk of the local Ration i Board, announced today. ' George P. Whitley, Jr., OPA of ficial from Raleigh, will be present to give the merchants details of tiie new regulation. Thig new regulation w.'3 issued in order to provide a simple and more effective method of fixing retail prices for articles covered in the or der and it is believed that some re pricing of wearing apparel will be necessary by the order. will result from the above mentioned policy; production on our farms will necessarily be reduced and doubtless many acres of land will be idle in 1945 and Possibly 1946. However, it is. apparent that there is no alterna tive and it is not within the power of either board to change this policy. The War Department insists that it needs all of our young men to win this war, and the war must be won regardless of the cost. We hope that registrants and their families will appreciate the position in which the two boards are placed and not feel that there is a lack of sympathy or consideration for any individual registrant who is required to answer the call to duty in the armed force of our nation. "We must do our part in 4he war I effort even if all our farms are forced to remain idle for the dura tion. Victory must come, and if Perquimans County cannot contri bute its fair share to the war effort by production on the farm, our farm boys will contribute our share on the battlefield. In the face of this dire and extreme adversity, let us recall General Sherman's definition of war," the statement concluded. .
