agencies paid 18 to Is per cent for
campaigns which they carried on
themselves before they Joined the

Why have campaign report
luncheons?

absolute control of all money and

Industry Is Awaiting
Anderson Reaction TO
Tobacco Support Plan
BY the Assoeiofed Press

RICHMOND. Va, Oct. 27.-To-
bacco men were waiting today for
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson S
reaction to a plan calling for the
Commodity Credit Corp. to under
write British tobacco purchases on
American markets.
The proposal was voiced here
yesterday by the Agriculture De-
partment's Tobacco Branch director,
Charles Gage, who said there ap-
parently were no serious objections
to the plan and that Secretary
Anderson probably would give care
full consideration to it in Washing
ton today.
British and American tobacco
men met with Mr.. Gage yesterday
to try to work out a way to boost
sagging prices on 1ue-cured mar
kets. 1t was generally agreed that
the adoption of a CCC support plan
would bring about higher prices
and lead to the reopening of Old
Belt markets in Virginia and North
Carolina, which will suspend sales
indefinitely after tomorrow's auc-
tionS.
Mr.. Gage said it was also agreed
that such a support plan probably
would cost around $25,00000O but
that it was the best method proposed
thus far to avert at least a partial
collapse of the leaf market.
Two other proposals have been
discarded as Impractical. One called
for the Army to export tobacco to
occupied Germany to revive the
tobacco industry and strike at the
black market in cigarettes. The
other was a proposal that the
entire matter be thrown back to
Great Britain with the suggestion
that the labor government recon-
| slider its ban on tobacco imports.

ings.
-
Why solicit people for gifts at the
places where they are employed?
Campaign officials have found it
is very difficult and expensive to
reach at their homes people who
are employed all day 1t saves time
and money to ask for their gifts
when they can be reached easily.
Why are small memberships or
special fees charged those who can
afford them at many Red Feather
agencies?
The Chest states that, according
to the best evidence available. TO
one ever has been refused the op-
portunity 10 share in the services for
inability to pay. 1t does believe that
small fees, when the participant can
pay them, are desirable both from
the point of view of financial sup-
port and because the user appre-
ciates things which cost something
more than those furnished without
charge.

 Behold I stand at the door and wait''.

The world has to grow more spirit ually to keep this door open there is more to do than just sing and shout. We've got to work and be faithful, trust in God and endure hardships unto the end. There are too many hypocrites in the church. They praise God and take different offices in the church on Sunday and curse and fight on Monday.
 One day I will leave this old world and go to my Lord ill the city four square.
 If I had only five days to live I would spend most of it shout ing and praising my God; for if God opens the door of your heart no man close 1t.
