' But the best esti mates are that only sixty-five per cent of North Carolina car- own ers have been carrying liability insurance.

Leonidas,.,L. .L&n chairman of the Perquimans County Agricultural Stabiliza: tion Cooservation Committee. The marketing quota program will be in operation for next year's crop, the chairman ex plains, if at least two-thirds of the votes cast in the-referendum are in favor of the program. In that case, price support will be available to growers - who com ply with their farm ,. allotment.--for the 1958 crop of cotton at a level between 75 and 90 per cent of parity, and quota pen alties will apply on any "ex cess" cotton. If more than one third of the votes are against quotas, there would be no quota penalties and the price support level to eligible growers would drop to 50 per cent of parity. Chairman Lane explains that, even though quotas are disap proved, acreage allotments will remain in effect as a means of determining eligibility for price support. The referendum will be held between the hours of 8 A. M. and 7 P. M. on Tuesday, De cember 10, at the following poll ing places: Belvidere, L. L. Chappell's Store; Nicanor, Winks Winslow's Store; Bethel,. J. L. Curtis' Store; , Hertfortt,; Agricul tural Building; New Hope, is. T. Perry's Store, and Parkville, Fred Winslow's Store. . .
