for financial assistance"
During the past year. many
North Carolina banks have added
farm specialists to their Stats
to assist farmers with various
problems. More than 60 such
specialists are now employed by
the banks of North Carolina.
The North Carolina Bankers
Association sponsors a number
of annual projects to encourage
better farming practices. Each
February. the bankers provide
80 all-eXpense scholarships for
farm boys who attend a two
week short course in modern
farming at \. c. State College.
Also. the bankers sponsor icint-
ly with Carolina Power & Light
Company a land Judging contest
designed to promote soil conser-
walton.
An annual Farm Credit Con-
ference, which runs for two DAYS,
is held in the early Spring at
which time bankers, farmers and
county agents gather at y. C.
State College to discuss their
common problems and to study
latest trends in agriculture.

armers Urged
To Speak Up"

Loris farmers were urged to-
day to join other South Carolina
members of the Farm Bureau
Federation in speaking up
WHOM they have an opinion on
4 subject.
Joe Blount, of LoriS. vice
president of the South Carolina
Farm Bureau Federation said.
IF we intend to have an effec-
tive organization-onc that gets
things done - il is necessary
that we have an expression of
opinion, active participation
from a very high percentage of
our members"
Farm Bureau officials stated
that many organizations find it
difficult to get an expression of
opinions. They assert it is the
easy way to let the officers or
4 few chosen leaders dictate the
policies of the organization.
This is especially true with
farm organizations. The major
lty of farmers are reluctant to
speak up and express their
particular opinion. This holds
true even more so when large
groups are together" said an
official in pointing out that this
was the cause of few organiza-
lions being unable to work with
farm groups.
Council meetings are being
held by the 46 county Farm
Bureaus in South Carolina to
develop policy recommendations
to the state and national organ
iZatiCn.
AT any rate, the farmer Is
requested TO not only attend the
meetings but TO rise and make
his thoughts known.

Chased Fipps Car
Wrecks Saturday

Police Chief Johnny New and
Sgt. Lloyd Cox gave chase to a
1852 Ford over four miles of
crooked Live Oak road Saturday
night and death was narrowly
avoided by those being pursued.
Driving the AZ Ford with a
81 motor was Herman Fipps
who suddenly pushed his gas
pedal to the floor when the
LoriS policeman footed the siren
TO investigate about 900 Satur-
day night.
In the car with Fipps was
Willie Thomas FippS. Both men
live between Loris and Tabor
City.
When the policemen saw the
Ford stopped in town on Satur-
day night, they thought they de-
tected some one under the in
flucncc of intoXicants. AS they
came TO halt to look into the
matter, the car shot off at full
speed and the patrol car pulled
in behind with the siren blow
ing.
FlppS evidently believed ne
could outrun the police car and
ne sped down the crooked coun-
try road at speeds between 80
and 90 miles an hour. Chief
New said he was weaving all
over the road and he expected
the car to wreck on every curve.
He finally did fail TO make a
turn and the car hit the en-
bankment and bounced high in
the air, turning over time after
time.
Herman, the driver, was
thrown out of the car and land
ed some 80 feet from where tho
car stopped. Willie Thomas re-
manned in the car and was Writ
ually unhurt.
Herman and Willie were car
ried to the Loris Community
hospital where it was found tina,
neither was seriously injured
Herman was admitted with min
or cuts and bruises. Willie was
released after first aid treat

To Woo Residents
The organization should not
