REFERENDUM FOR
TOBACCO PLANNED
I
Will Be Held in County
Shortly To Determine
Future of Control
Definite plans are expected to be
announced shortly for the referendum
that is to b** held in this county and
all others in the flue-cured belts over
tin* continuation of the Kerr-Smlti.
tobacco control act. it was said today
fry J. W. Sanders, county farm agent.
Mr. Sanders has led all the crop con
trol campaigns that have been con
ducted in Vance county for the last
year and a half.
Growers will be asked to vote on
whether or not they are in favor of
continuing the crop control system
'cr tobacco for the coming year under
the contract agreements already In
effect, and whether or ?.<>t they are
in favor of » xlending the arrangement
for three years tifert the present on**
■*xpiies with the marketing of the
l!),Vi rrop a Vear lienee.
A meeting ol tobacco growers in
Raleigh recently went on record us
avoring extension of tin* control
plan, .lust how tin* referendum will
>e condueted has not been definitely
but il will probalrli be held
sometime during this month. *
Prices have skyrocketed on tobacco
this season, and farmer- everywheu.
have ceen p.eased with the advance,
it is believed that they will vote vu
ually 100 per cent in fa vox", ot «• con
tinuation of the crop control plan.
Indications now are that under tm
planting agrement for 1935 t,-e ai
.otments to individual growers will
be increased. J. B. Hutson, chief of
the tobacco section of the Agricu?-
ural Adjustment Administration, said
:his week that the increases for the
crop as a whole would aggregae
about 100,000,000 pounds. It is believ
ed the increase can be allowed with
out disturbing the prive levels to any
considerable extent. Some feel that
crop control for three or four more
years will assure a measure of pros
erity in the flue-cured tobacco grow
ng regions of the Carolinas, Virginia
and Georgia for that period of time.

Mrs. W. H. Fleming
Chairman and Goal
Is 600 Memberships
for the County
•/
Volunteer workers for 'the Vance
county chapter of the American Red
Cross are making plans now for the
annual roll call membership, which
opens on Armistice Day. Sunday, N/o
--vember 11, according to a statement
oday my Mrs. W. H. Fleming, chair
man of the roil call. The quota a»
:igned to this chapter is 600. and Mrs.
Fleming says there is every indication
that the goa". will be reached, if not
passed, duiing the roll call campaign.
“A gain in membership was report
ed by the national organization for
last year’’, Mrs. Fleming said today.
‘The organization did not suffer a
erious loss in members at any time
’uring the period of stress; such de
crease as occurred was checked last
vear, and the response to the roll call
his year is expected to be well up
toward the pre-depression figure.
“Immediate.y after President
Roosevelt was inaugurated in March,
1.933. the Red Cross pledged him its
support and the use of ail its facilities
and over and over again the Federal
government has called on the Red
Cross for cooperation. Disaster reliej
and relief and rehabilitation for vet
erans and soldiers and sailors are a
permanent national responsibility of
‘he Red Cross. In addition to this
aeriiianenf service there lias been
•dose affiliation between thei Red
Cross and various Federal emergency
-eli-ef activities during the past year.
Red Cross chapters gave information
is to emergency set-ups and admin
stratiou; boys and war veterans were
Mii'olled in Civilian Conservation
Corps camps and iu the ranks or
civil and public work forces. First
aid was taught by the Red Cross on
b’VVA and PWA mojects, and is now
being taught in CCO camps to lessen
accidental deaths and injuries; publlu
healtb nurses have worked to preven*
Tinesa and malnutrition in the homes
->f the needy and home hygiene in
structors have taught girls and won,
>n tlv care of siek in the home; Red
Cross volunteer activities in sewing,
’n training for relief workers, in hos
oital hostess and recreation service,
in motor corps and canteen work,
have done much to supplement, the
federal relief program throughout
‘he United States.
“The Federal government, cooper
ating with state governments, has
indertaken to see that nobody in tie.
United States is without shelter or
clothing during the depression.
There is still much left for private
welfare organizations to do. Last
year, and the years that preceded it,
-showed that the Red Cross met the
cha.lemre of need in the depression
as gallantly as it did the demands fo*.
-service during the World War. Red
Cross chapters stayed on the first job
until the war ended, and they will
stay on nom, I am sure, until the de-

times to answer cabs for relief in
catastrophe's, great, and small; it mu;.,
be ready for any sort of governmental

members and the means, through
which the needs of the coming yea.
