Rev. Wimberley filled the pulpit of of the local Church last Sunday morn ing and evening, and made known his acceptance to the church at that time. He and his family will receive a warm welcome into the community upon their arrival here. Farmers Doing Their Part Says Brown Harry L. Brown, general agent of the Farm Credit Administration, Col umbia, S. C., declared in an interview here last week that American farm ers are arounsed to the War’s threat to civilization and that they are dili gently doing their part to meet the test. Mr. Brown, who has had a long ca reer of outstanding service to agricul j ture, was here Thursday for a short visit with the Bainbridge Production Credit Association and the National Farm Loan Association. Prior to his connection with the Farm Credit Ad ministration he served as director of j extension in Georgia and later as As sistant Secretary of Agriculture un der Secretary Wallace, now the Vice President. “Farmers throughout the country,” Mr. Brown said, “are not only aroused to the danger of the situation but they are also aware of the absolute neces sity for America’s biggest agricultural production program and they are do ing something about it. j “For example,” he continued, “I have I learned while here that practically all I members of the Bainbridge Production i Credit Association have increased I their peanut acreage ranging from i fifty to a hundred per cent. They are j doing this because they feel that it is I their patriotic duty to do so and they j are certainly to be commended for their loyalty.” Mr. Brown pointed out that in the past peanut oil has been used prin ciapally for food and that most of the increased production will be used to replace imported oils for shorten ings, cooking fats, oleomargerine, and i salad oils but that during the emer gency it can be substituted for other oils which are used in making explo sives, anti-freeze, medicines, and other vital products. He stated that agencies operating under the supervision of the Farm j Creidt Administration, such as the i production credit association and the national farm loan association, are an vious to be of the most possible ser vice to farmers in meeting the need for additional credit as the result of changed farming operations. The pro duction credit association ofers short term creidt to farmers for production and general agricultural purposes while national farm loan associations 'make long-term mortgage loans. IS ELECTED JUSTICE OF THE PEACE Mr. C. C. Gibson was elected Justice ' of the Peace in a special election held ITuesday to name a successor to T. A. j Ansley, deceased. No opposition developed and only nine votes were cast. BUY DEFENSE BONDS OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY OF SEMINOLE AND THE CITY OF DONALSONVILLE, GEORGIA War Production Chairman Nelson said pending conversion orders, plus those already issued, will virtually halt production of civilian durable goods within the next two months. He said chief current bottlenecks in con version are machine tool shortages and difficulties in expanding indus trial facilities. Chairman Nelson said expenditures for munitions and war construction during March exceeded $2,500 million, with an additional SSOO million for pay and subsistence. He reported steel plate shipments in March set an all time record. In the first seven days of April, he said, 444 labor-management committees reported they had volun tarily organized to get war produc tion drives underway in their plants. The War Department announced it will place a liaison officer at each Federal Reserve Bank to expedite the program of arranging government guaranteed loans for small businesses in war production. President Roosevelt, acting under the Second War Powers Act, authoriz ed the WPB, Kar, and Navy and Trea sury Departments, Maritime Commis sion and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to inspect war plants and to audit their books. The inspections will aim to avoid waste of government funds and to implement measures which have been undertaken to fores tall price increases.

Projects of certain govern ment agencies and those to restore property destroyed by fire or floods were exempt from the order. Local Federal Housing Administra tion officers will determine whether construction projects are eligible for recommendation to the WPB. Appeals from decisions of local FHA officers may be made to a Board composed of the Administrator of the order, a re presentative of labor and a third mem ber who will represent the end pro duct branch of the WPB within whose purisdiction the class of project would fall.
