Federal All-Risk Crop Insurance
Sets Closing Date For April Is

The Federal Crop Insurance

her of insurance policies that
can be issued in each county

corporation already has. No ap-

April 18th.
Federal All-Risk Crop insur-

necessary in producing a crop OF
tobacco. The Supervisor pointed
out that because of the high
cost of producing an acre of to-
hacco as compared with other
crops. and the number of grow
ers participating in the program
last year. North Carolina ranked
second among the States in the
amount of liability on the books

Editorials . .

With this fourth season just under
way, the best fishing since the project
was begun is undoubtedly in store.
Adequate boats have been purchased
and are available for rental purposes.
If fishing holds up to expectations,
the revenue should be adequate this
summer to maintain the operation and
at least partially payoff the stock
holder notes.
We are anxious to see Lake Tabor
have a good season, eradicate this
last Indebtedness, and get some money
ahead so that the outside of the lake
can have some much needed work
done.
The whole project has the potential
OF being one of the greatest things
Tabor City ever did. 1t can provide
the best OF recreation facilities to all
ages. 1t still needs to be supported
actively by all the people and in the
not too distant future can be a gather
ing place for picnicking, swimming,
camping as we'll as boating and fish
ing.
1t can be like an industry to the
area too. If the fishing shows the
improvement that is expected this
year and in the future, people will
come from miles around. And when
people get that close to town, they
are going OF spend money for other
things as well.
From variety of points of view,
Lake Tabor is a project in which
great pride can be taken. 1t will be
even greater consequence in the fu-
ture than in the past.

BEST YEAR YET

The Tabor City Recreation Com
mission is now in its fourth year of
operation and the future of Lake
Tabor looks better than it ever has
before.
1t has been a rather difficult
struggle during the past to purchase
the old lake, build the piers and dam
and other facilities. There has never
been enough funds to keep the bills
paid as the project progressed. But,
now with the fourth year beginning,
the commission has paid off all its
Indebtedness other than to stock
holders themselves.
When work was completed on the
facilities that now exist there was a
SloOO loan to be paid to the local
bank and $500 to be paid to the
construction firm that did most of the
work. Both those obligations have now
been paid in full.
The only remaining obligations Of
the organization is some II notes for
800 each that stockholders them
selves hold. These notes were issued
when the stockholders loaned the cor
poration this money two years ago to
pay for materials used i'll the con-
Strucuon.
Some OF the persons making these
500 loans have since taken a second
share of stock and thus cancelled
their notes. But some IA are still out
standing. But except for these notes,
the Lake Tabor project is free OF
financial obligations.

endless-and they usually are.

1906: His speech made the
English language crackle like

he will come on his own accord
and talk to empty seats"
Following his appearance in
Durham, the Sun said: "Mr
Perkins expressed a desire to
come back to Durham. No,
thank you. We've had enough"
He evidently was of the type
that the less he knew the
louder he spoke. Or, he talked
so fast that both he and the
audience forgot what he was
talking about, and he kept
right on talking because no.
body was listening.
The Moravian Falls Fool
Killer had some words for that
kind OF speaker in 1915:
The less a fellow knows the
more fuss he makes. His brains
evidently leak into his chest
and all turn to lungs
When No. ? brain is hitch

awful tiresome
Short talks and sermons are
not only the most popular, but
they produce the best results.

has got a poor gimlct or else
he is boring in the wrong
