A LIST OF ITEMS that Amer
ican Gl’s in Southeast Asia
would like to receive for Christ
mas includes a number of sur
prising things.
Kool-Aid received top prior
ity, according to Sgt. Robert
Gann, recruiting sergeant for
this area. Appearing on the list
other than Kool-Aid were con
tainers for it, greeting cards,
instant breakfast drinks, wal
let size calendars, film, radio
batteries, cheese packages and
party snacks, miniature chess
sets, musical tapes and pictures
of stateside landscapes.
Airplane, car and train model
kits, flower and vegetable
seeds, pocket dictionaries, and
self-sealing envelopes are oth
er items Gl’s hope Santa Claus
will not forget to send.
Again, it is surprising that
our boys who are sacrificing so
much for our protection would
submit a Christmas list of
which not one single item is ex
pensive or hard to get. It would
take such a small effort on our
part to meet their needs.
The following periods have
been designated by the U. S.
Post Office for mailing Christ
mas parcels to members of the
Armed Forces overseas: (1)
Surface Transportation, Oct. 14
to Nov. 9, (2) SAM (Space
Available Parcel Airlift), Oct.
21 to Nov. 30, (3) PAL, Oct.
28 to Nov. 30, (4) Airmail, Nov.
30 to Dec. 11.
All articles should be packed
in boxes of wood, metal, solid
fiberboard or strong double
faced corrugated fiberboard,
and well tied with strong cord.
Boxed articles should be well
cushioned as boxes are likely to
be crushed if not tightly filled.
A slip showing a list of con
tents, and name and address of
sender and addressee, should be
inclosed in the parcel. Certain
forms obtainable at the post of
fice are required on parcels to ■
ma^y destinations.
In addition to normally pro
hibited articles, matches of all
kinds and lighter fluid may not
be mailed to overseas military
addressees. Cigarettes, tobacco
products, and various other
items are prohibited to some
military post offices.
Domestic rates of postage are

THE METHODIST MYF of
Methodist Church are sponsor
ing the opening of the church
library eaih Wednesday from
3:30 to 4:30 p.m. They request
that anyone having checked out
a book in the past that did not
return it will please do so now.
Some books were checked out
as long ago as ten years. They
report that no charges will be
made on overdue books, but
those holding such books are
asked to please return them. It
is hoped that the public will
take advantage of the young
people’s efforts to make Pem
broke a better community in
which to live.
Notice
The library of the Pembroke
Methodist Church will be open
each Wednesday from 3:30 to
4:30 p.m. This public service is
being sponsored by the Meth
odist MYF and two MYF mem
bers and their counselor Mrs.

to take advantage of this serv
ice.
Officials have estimated other
nations now owe the United
States more than s4l billion
from World War I. About half of
this amount is in principle and
interest from this war.
FHA Crowns
Miss Initiation
The FHA girls ended a week
of excitement with their intia
tion party in the BCHS Home
Economics Dept. Friday night,
where Debra Alford was crown
ed “Miss Initiation.”
Sophomore members were in
charge of planning and carry
ing out the week's activities.
During the week the new mem
bers wore the colors of the
F.H.A. and memorized the
creed; they also begged for pen
nies to improve the treasury.
On F r i d a y night the new
members came dressed in a
style that was required by their
fellow FHA’ers. A court was
held to determine if the new
members had met the require
ments for membership. If not,
they were pronounced guilty
and punished by the sophomore
members. All in all the girls
and their punishments were
very funny and the party was
a big success.
Debra Alford, one of the new
members was crowned Miss
Initiation for collecting the
most money for the club. She
was presented with a robe of
burlap bag and lace, and a
bouquet of weeds. The club also
gave Debra a gift of five dol
lars for her cooperative spirit
and interest in the activities of
the week.
Refreshments and fellowship
were enjoyed by all who attend
ed.

1969 COTTON ACREAGE
ALLOTTED! QUOTAS
PROCLAIMED
Georgia farmers will have a
total allotment of 818,675 acres
available for producing the 1969
upland cotton crop, Rufus
Adams, Chairman, Georgia
State Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Committee,
said today. This includes the
State’s shares of the national
allotment of 16 million acres
and the national acreage re
serve of 200,000 acres for the
establishment of minimum farm
allotments. The 1969 allotment
varies only slightly from the
1968 allotment.
In his announcement of the
national acreage allotment on
October 14, Secretary of Agri
culture Orville L. Freeman
also proclaimed national mark
eting quotas for the 1969 crop.
The quotas will be voted on by
growers by mail during the
period December 2 through De
cember 6, 1968.
Notices of farm acreage al
lotments will be mailed to oper
ators of cotton farms prior tc
the referendum.
Chairman Adams reminded
farmers that at least two-thirds
of the growers voting must ap
prove marketing quotas if they
are to become effective for the
1969 upland cotton crop. If
quotas are not approved for the
crop, there will be no upland
cotton payment program. How
ever, the allotment program
will remain in effect and price
support loans will be available
at 50 percent parity to farmers
who keep within their cotton
allotments.
If quotas are approved, the
upland cotton program under
which payments are made to
cooperators will be in effect,
and growers who exceed their
upland farm acreage allotment
will be subject to penalties on
the farm’s excess production of
upla rt d cotton. The penalty
would be 50 percent of the cot
ton parity price as of June 15,
1969.
Marketing quotas are in ef
fect for 1968^ro^ upland cot-
