FARM BUREAU SETS
COLUMBUS GOAL
Annual Membership Drive
Now Underway For
4,000 Members
WHITEVILLE, Sept. 8—A
goal of 4,000 members was es
tablished today for the annual
membership drive of the Farm
Bureau in Columbus county as
the campaign got under way
this morning.
Arrangements having been
Completed for J. P. Quinerly to
take a leave of absence from
extension service work in his
capacity as assistant county
farm agent, Quinerly es
tablished headquarters in the
Triple A office for the Septem
ber campaign.
Quinerly will continue to
receive compensation from the
countv, the board of commis
sioners having authorized the
extension service leave to com
ply with federal and state reg
ulations.
Farm Bureau directors met
Friday and outlined general
plans for the campaign. Direc
tors and others will solicit mem
berships as usual, but old mem
bers are being urged to turn in
their renewals before Septem
ber 20 so that the final 10 days
of the drive may be used in a
concentrated effort to obtain
Hew members.
“This can be accomplished,”
Quinerly said, “by giving the
membership fee to one of the
banks, to a solicitor or by mail
ing fee to the Farm Bureau
Whiteville.”
Spokesmen for the Farm
Bureau said indications pointed
to a record membership due to
the marvelous record of the or
ganization in connection with
the tobacco stabilization pro
gram. They estimated that the
Bureau-sponsored legislation es
tablishing the stabilization cor
poration had meant from 10 to
15 cents per pound for tobacco
growers this year.
“Without this flooring for to
bacco, prices might easily have
dropped as low as 30 cents per
pound,” one leader said.
“It is vital that we prove by
our memberships that we are
back of such efforts on behalf
of the farmer.”
Automobile stickers will go
out this week to the more than
three thousand Farm Bureau
members and upon receipt of
the stickers, members are
asked to place them on their
oars and immediately forward
their membership to headquar
ters.

The driver, Z. C. Tarpley, said
he yelled to one of the older boys
to get out and put rocks under
the wheels but the bus was mov

off. The children screamed as
Tarpley swerved the wheels to
avoid veering off the road and
the occupants were thrown

BRITAIN, FRANCE
READY TO DECLARE
WAR ON RUSSIANS
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Sept.
8. —(U.R)— A Swedish “Whit?
Book” said today that Britain
and France were ready to de
clare war on Russia early in
1940 and were preparing to send
troops at “short notice” to fight
with Finland in her losing strug
gle against the Soviet Union.
Secret war documents publish
ed by the foreign office said that
only Sweden’s insistence on
maintaining neutrality and her
belief that a Russo-Finnish peace
was near stopped Britain and
Frahce from declaring war.
The Russo-Finnish war start
ed in November, 1939, and end
ed the following March.
THREE CHILDREN
(Continued From Page One)
Schmidt children, Robert 13,
Marvin 3, and Arnold 12 are
not injured seriously.
The parents of the children
were in a theater in North Wich
ita at the time and 'were inter
cepted on their way home and
taken to the Newton hospital.
Fired Three More
Col. G. W. West, Fort Riley
chief of staff, said officers had
gone to the Schmidt farm Home
to discover why and how
Schmidt secured the rockets.
Earlier Schmidt told Sheriff Har
ry Goodman he had picked up
the shells near Fort Riley where
he had been baling hay and
thought they had been fired.
Maj. Ray Hurst, provost mar
shall, Lieut W.. W. Chapman,
ordnance officer and Capt. A.
T. Cuud picked up three other
shells at the Schmidt home and
destroyed them immediately.
Officers at the fort said today
that the reservation is posted
with warnings to refrain from
picking up ordnance projectiles
of any kind. They explained the
position of duds is marked after
firing and the projectiles are
later destroyed. However, due to
the large number of projectiles
fired in training some are not re
ported or found, they added.
SCHOOLS TO GET

on the hill and the driver tried
to stop the vehicle from rolling
schools to meet specific nu
tritional requirements. •
The Agriculture Department
explained that funds for the
school lunch program are di
vided among the states, terri
tories and possessions accord
ing to the number of school age
children and the per capita in
come of the state.
Must Match Funds
States themselves are requir
ed by law to match in equal
amounts the mqney accepted
from the federal government.
The Agriculture Department
said that the 1947 program “is
substantially the same" as last
year’s. There are no funds this
year, it was explained, to buy
school lunch equipment.
Last year’s program carried
an appropriation of $75,000,000.
Of this amount, $10,000,000 was
earmarked for buying equip
ment.
The Agriculture Department
said that it estimates that 7,
000,000 children of the 27,500,000
enrolled in the nation’s elemen
tary and high schools will bene
fit from this year’s program.
The breakdown of funds for
the states included:
North Carolina $2,241,509;
South Carolina $1,390,016; Ten
nessee $1,530,603; Virginia $1,
328,044.
Agriculture is the chief industry
of Turkey. The products are to
bacco, which goes to almost all
world marts; cereals, cotton, figs,
nuts, fruits of almost all varieties,'

Wallace Tobacco Market shatter
ed the new volume-of-sales-rec
ord-for-one-day it set for itself
last Thursday by selling 382,000
pounds of the golden weed to

John Sikes, sales supervisor.
In selling the huge amount of
Tobacco today, the market still
did not sell out and it continues
in the block which has existed
for the past 10 days. Prospects
are that the block will continue
for another couple of weeks, if
not longer, and warehousemen
here urgently request farmers to
book floor space in advance be
fore bringing their tobaccos to
the market.
The warehousemen also ask
ed that growers put as near 250
pounds of tobacco in each pile
in order to expedite general sales
here.

DRYICER MAKE
(Continued From Page One)
have beer* tried at several
places with varied success.
The rainmaker plane—a five
passenger Cessna — took off at
3:43 p. m. with Charles Vestal
and John Wilkes, both of Pied
mont, as co-pilots. Rock Boyle,
director of ground school train
ing at Piedmont, and a reporter
made up the rest of the crew.
Plus these four, there was 100
pounds of dry ice.
Boyle explained that the use
of dry ice does not actually
make rain. It is dropped in a
cumulus, or rain, cloud which
is overhead but might pass over
the area needing moisture be
fore the rain falls.
The dry ice is dropped into
the cloud, he said, causing a
colder temperature at the top of
the cloud than at the bottom.
The warm part of the cloud, and
the cold- part of the cloud rush
together, causing condensation
and rain.
In other words, Boyle said,
the dry ice method doesn’t
cause rain. It just makes it fall
where you want it.
To Try Again
Bob Northington, vice-presi
dent of Piedmont Aviation,
learning the experiment had
been successful, said further
rainmaking trials would be
made within the next day or
two.
“This time we will wait until
the right kind of clouds are over
the watershed of Salem lake,”
he said “maybe we can get
enough rain out of this to help
the water shortage.”
STAUNTON VIRGINIA
TO TRY FOR RAIN
STAUNTON, Va., Sept. 8
The town of Staunton was lay
ing plans today to make enough
rain to save itself $300,000.
Every summer when the
droughts begin, the water level
in the town’s North River reser
voir sinks so low that the regular
supply has to be augmented with
“hard” spring water.
When this happens, the local
citizenry complains vigorously.
As a result, the city council
sometime ago just about- decid
ed to build an auxiliary reser
voir at-a cost-of $300,000.
Today, however, the council
got a new idea. It hired a local
air service to scatter dry ice in
the clouds above Staunton in an
attempt to make rain fall.
The city fathers figure that if
enough rain is coerced into
falling to raise the water level,
of the North River shed one
inch, the new reservoir won’t be
necessary—and the town will
have saved itself a tidy sum.
The rain-making attempt is
scheduled to be made later this
week.

DAVIDSON, Sept. 8.— UP) —
Coach Bill Story, pleased with
his team’s running attack in the
Catawba scrimmage Saturday,
sent the Wildcats through an ex
tended aerial drill today with
Decatur freshman Auburn Lam
beth on the firing line with
Buck Williams and Carl Shep
pard. Lambeth’s pitching caught
Story’s attention and he tabbed
the 165 pound tailback as “prob
ably the best passer on the
squad.” During the afternoon
session the Cats without .any
injuries from Saturday’s mock
battle, dug in for a thirty min
ute scrimmage. Previously, the
linemen spent an hour on tack
ling practice while the backs
and ends got in more aerial
work.
WAKE FOREST, Sept. 8.—UP)
—Onlookers at the Wake Forest
College grid practice ’ today got
the definite impression that the
Demon Deacons will take to the
air lanes this fall.
Coach D. C. (Peahead) Wal
ker held a lengthy aerial work
out this afternoon, and the on
lookers were visably impress
ed at the way the passes stuck
to the fingers of the receivers,
ends E. Hoey, John O’Quinn,
Ed Bradley and Jim Ducan, and
backs Harry Dowda, Dom Hipps,
Carl Haggard, and Nick Ognov
ih. Doing the tossing were Tom
Fetzer, B. D. Lail, and Kenneth
Wheeler, freshman from Ans
onia, Conn.
During the two practice ses
sions, the Deacons also worked
on kick-offs, blocking and tack
ling and took a look at their
repertoire of plays.
The Deacons will continue to
hold two workouts a day until
Thursday. After classes begin
Friday there will be only one
practice period daily.
RALEIGH, Sept. 8—m—With
cne full week of practice under
their belts, the State College
Wolfpack varsity squad was cut
to 50 men today by Coach Beat
tie Feathers and his staff. Feath
ers stated that the squad would
not be cut further.
Pass defense was stressed at
both sessions and the teams con
tinued work on blocking and
tackling. Two drills daily will
be held the rest of the week,
with the pace being cut to one
session per day beginning next
week.
The Wolfpack emerged from
its first week of practice in fine
shape, and Feathers added that
body contact will continue to be
the order of the day.

Hindus and Sikhs on one side
and Moslems on the other.
There would have been an
here but for the arrival of a
company of Gurkhas, the tough,
perf emtly-disciplined troops
from the hill country, under
their British Lieutenant Colonel.
This morning the newspapers
has carried flaring headlines
announcing that the Indian Au
thorities were determined to
stamp out rioting and that
troops and Police were author
ized to shoot to kill any rioters
found attacking others.
The newspapers were still
selling when- the Sikhs met the
train, armed with three-foot
swords. Under a new regulation
they should not have carried
knives or swords with blades
more than nine inches long.
I arrived to find flies swarm
ing over pools of undried blood.
On the track lay the body of a
Moslem boy of about 12 years.
There was no head on the body.
Next to the body of the boy
lay an old man, gasping his
last breaths through his ripped
throat.
i appealed for help for him.
A tall/Sikh came up, stared
down at the old man for a mon
ent, spat at him and turned
away.
In a third-class compartment
lay the body of an aged Moslem,
dead, still crouched over the
bundle which contained his
possessions.
A girl who appeared to be
his daughter lay sprawled on
the floor. She, too, was dead,
her sari dyed by her blood. The
fingers and thumb of one of her
hands were mising. She ap
parently had tried to ward off
the sword which killed her.
A third occupant of the com
partment lay dead. His nose
was cut off. Half of his lower
jaw was gone and the bone was
protruding.
As the Gurkhas arrived, Hin
du Policemen were just about'to
throw on a pile of bodies a gray
bearded Moslem who was still
living, though his skull had
been split open. A British of
ficer saved him.
When the Gurkhas started
taking the swords away from
the slaughterers, a venerable
Sikh Priest, dressed in blue
robes and carrying a spiked
shield, resisted the offcer who
tried to disarm him. The Gurk
has moved in, their grip tigthen
ing on their baypnetted rifles,
and the Sikh gave up .
Each sword, as it was seized,
was examined for blood stains.
Under the new rules the officer
in command could have ordered
the execution of,any man found
with a blood-stained sword, but
all the blades had been wiped
clean.
Throughout old Delhi there
was intermittent gun fire all
day. Smoke columns arose
after bomb explosions.
Some troops were firing on
rioters, and some Moslems
were fighting back at Hindus
and Sikhs who attacked them.
There were reports of pitched
battles between rioters, and
between rioters and troops,
within one mile of government
house.
Hospitals reported that about
100 gun-wound casualties were
treated during the day.

The Navy’s only estimate of the
results of the test at sea came
from Read Admiral D. V. Gal

rations for guided missies. He
said:
“This launching will mark the
beginning of a new area in naval

The scene of the launching was
described only as “several hund
