Prince Edward School Founda-

need will be met if contributions
continue to come into our office
as they have for the past few

What about next year? he was
asked. Prince Edward School
Foundation has operated success
fully for the past three years.
AL expenses have been paid to
date, and the Foundation owns
an Academy building worth $780,
900. The Foundation will con-
tinue this program as long as the
people of Prince Edward support
it. Another year it is hoped that
some arrangements can be made
to permanently house the lower
schools either totally or at least
in part. Cash and deferred
pledges to the building fund total
SIS 900, which will go a long way
toward financing a modest build
ing program. Our credit is good
and like any other private en-

can be made
The Foundation appreciates
the support of the people of this
county, and the widespread con-

4Per Cent Bright
Leaf Hike Adds
Sc Acres Here

Prince Edward county got just
over Sc acres $500 to be
exact from the 4.3 per cent
acreage increase for the 1862
flue-cured tobacco crop, Don
Grant,, ASC office manager said
today.
The recent U. S. Department
of Agriculture hike added 31,ll5
acres to the national allotment
which now stands at 49, 47 acres
For Prince Edward, the in
crease raises the county allot-
ment from 1884 20 to 1902 acres.
Divided among the county's
44S growers, the extra SO acres
won't add much. For individual
growers it will mean an extra
hundredth or perhaps a tenth of
an acre or two.
But at flue-cured prices and
considering reduced acreages,
no one is complaining, according
to CAN'T.
The USDA had announced in
November there would be no in
crease in acreage, but the hike
was agreed upon this month.
The county ASC offices has al
ready determined each individ-
ual farm increase. adding four
and a fraction per cent for each
farm.
One of the reasons for the in
crease, although some in the in
dustry felt 1t was premature. is
the drop in holdings of the farm
crowned Flue Cured Stabiliza-
ton Corporation. Since 1858, the
holdings of the loan and market
ing cooperative have dropped
from $50 million pounds in stor-
age to 800 millions.

Mexico City BY Trailer
Caravaners End 6,OOO-Mile Trek
By JOHN STICK

Mr.. and Mrs. Keith Schiller, Of
Farmvllle, have just returned
from a 4O-days 5000 mile trek
with the 1862 Wally Byam Cara
van to Mexico.
Their home en- route was their
sleek 26-foot Airstream trailer,
one Of 321 trailers carrying hun
dreds Of take-your- home with
you tourists from most of the,
U. S. states and Canada.
The Schulers left their home
here January 81 for a rendeZ-
vouS with 136 other trailer fam
lilies at San Marcos, Texas.
There were about 300 people in
their caravan which went south
of the border following the east
ern edge of Mexico.
simultaneously, 1876 other trail
er families were moving south
down the western side of Mex
leo. The two groups converged
for a final weeks hacienda at
Mexico City.
First Rendezvous
From the San Marcos rendez-
vous to Mexico City the Farm
vile adventures were part of a
carefully planned and infinitely
directed caravan tour. Only own
ers of Wally Byam designed Air
e+"eam trailers could qualify for
the caravan.
The trailer manufacturing
company conducts similar tours
several times yearly to various
parts of the United States and
contiguous countries. One now
is in the planning stage for
Europe. This was the 18th cara
van to Mexico.
The eastern" trailer coming
ent crossed the border February
5 for the first stop in Nuevo
Laredo, Mexico. From there it
took the So-called Independence
Route visiting towns and cities
made famous by such Mexican
historic figures as Hidalgo, Mat
eos and Maximillian. Stopping
over places Included Saltilo,
Mathcuala, San Luis Potosi, Ag-
uas Calientes, Guanajuato, Quer-
etaro, Jalapa and Mexico City.
The daily pace of the caravan
vehicles varied from 100 to 200
miles, never at a pushing"
rate. There were daily briefings
on routes, travelling conditions,
historic sights and living condi-
tons.
Grand Treatment
They really gave us the grand
treatment" is the way the Schu-
lers describe the receptions and
entertainment provided the car
avaners after arrival in each
successive Mexican town or
city.
Each especially prepared
trailer stop. a ball park, MUM
ciapal facility or fair ground, was
guarded. Gas, fuel. water and
other necessities were replen-
ished by suppliers visiting the
camps daily.
The stop-over entertainment
included band concerts, fire
works displays. buffet suppers,
even a demonstration bull fight.
Time was provided for side
trips TO churches. universities.
