Cotton Marketing Quotas ...
Damage is Great .. .
Referendum Scheduled Dec. 15
Fannin county’s cotton produc-
ers will vote next Tuesday in
the national referendum on cot-
ton marketing quotas, Arthur D.
Woodson, chairman of the
county ASC committee, has
announced.
Woodson said 14 polling places
had been set up for the referen-
dum with the polls opening at
8 a.m. and closing at 6 p.m. .
Polls will be located in the
ASC office in Bonham. Leonard,
Bailey, Gober, Ladonia, Honey
Grove, Windom, Dodd City,
Ector, Randolph, Trenton, Ra-
venna, Ivanhoe and Telephone.
Woodson said that cotton farm-
ers in the county have been al-
lotted 66,905 acres of cotton for
the 1965 cotton crop year.
This represents the county’s
share of the 16 million acre na-
tional allotment. Operators al-
ready have been mailed notices
of the allotments for individual
farms. I
Cotton farmers voting in the
Dec. 15 referendum will deter-
mine whether marketing quotas
will be operative for the 1965
crop of upland cotton. Approval
by at least two-thirds of those
voting is necessary in order to
put the quotas’ into effect.
Woodson pointed out that the
domestic allotment program,
authorized in legislation enacted
last spring, will be in effect for
the 1965 upland cotton crop if
marketing quotas are approved
Tuesday.
Under this program, a cotton
farmer has the option of plant-
ing within his, farm’s effective
allotment or the domestic allot-
ment. For those voluntarily re-
ducing their acreage, growers
may qualify for price-support
payments in addition to
regular price support.
The referendum this
the
year
therefore presents these alterna-
tives to voters; If marketing
quotas are appnoved, marketing
penalties' will apply to any ex-
cess cotton of growers who ex-
ceed their farm’s effective al-
lotments, price support (at a
level within 65 to 90 per cent
of parity) will be available to
growers who do not exceed their
effective allotments, and addi-
tional price-support payments
will be made to growers who
voluntarily reduce their cotton
acreage to the farm’s domestic
allotment. (In general, the farm
marketing quota — which a
farmer may market free of
penalty— is the production
from the farm’s effective
acreage allotment.)
If quotas are not approved,
the regular allotment program
will remain in effect, and price
support at 50 per cent of parity
will be available to growers who
do not exceed their effective al-
lotments. Without quotas, the
domestic allotment program pro-
viding additional price-support
payments would not be in effect.

Fire of undertermined origin
caused heavy damage to the
stock of Walker and Son furni-
ture company at the corner of
Main and Third streets Mon-
day night.
Members of the Bonham vol-
unteer fire department were
credited with a great job in con-
taining the flames to the rear
of the one building.
The fire apparently started in
the rear of the building in
the floor covering department
and spread up. the wall and
stairway to the second floor
which was loaded with furni-
ture.
On the first floor, flames did
not get out of the back end of
the store but on the second
floor managed to get into the
center of the store before fire-
men were able to bring them
under control.
Vast clouds of smoke from
mattresses, upholstered chairs,
floor coverings and paint bil-
lowed high above the building
and were spread over a large
portion of the downtown and
residential areas to the north
of the fire.
Elkins Grocery, first door to
the north, suffered some smoke
and water damage but flames
did not penetrate into the store.
"The boys did a great job in
containing the flames in the
rear portion of one building,”
Clarence Elkins said. “They
penetrated the building and did
an excellent job of getting wa-
ter on the flames and knocking
them out.”
Several rolls of carpeting and
lineoleum were, ruined as were
supplies of tile, all of which
were located in the rear of the
first floor where the fire was
the greatest.
Furniture in the center and
front parts of the first floor suf-
fered heat, smoke and water
damage.
Firemen left a line of hose
at the scene of the fire as it
was feared flames might con-
tinue smouldering in the cotton
mattresses and upholstered fur-
niture.
About three hours prior to the
alarm at Walker and Son, fire-
men had answered a call to a
trash fire at Wood Products Co.,
just east of the General Cable
plant.

Grayson Educator
Talks at Rotary
Dr. Cruce Stark, president of
the new Grayson County Junior
college at Sherman, told of
plans for the school which is due
to open in September of 1965
when he spoke Wednesday noon
at the weekly meeting of Bon-
ham Rotary club.
He outlined the objectives of
the school and said “we expect
it to be one of the best in the
state.” The physical plant, now
under construction, is being
built to accomodate 2,000 stu-
dents.
Dr. Stark said daily bus serv-
ice between Bonham and the
school probably would be insti-
tuted if there is sufficient stu-
dent interest here.
Rotarian Paul Simpson was
program chairman. In addition
to the speaker, he also introduc-
ed the two Junior Rotarians,
Mike Kinkade, son of Mr, and
Mrs. John Kinkade, and Ricky
Jackson, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Mack Jackson. .
“Don’t forget to answer the
Christmas Sea appeal.”
That was the request being
made today of the more than
3,000 Bonham and Fannin
bounty residents who received
a packet of the Seals in Novem-
ber from the Fannin County Tu-
berculosis association.
Leeman Sewell, seal sale
chairman, pointed out that the
TB association’s only source of
income was from the sale of
Chistmas Seal appeal.”
“Contributions through the.
seal sale help to find those who
are ill with tuberculosis, expand
the education program, provide
treatment and finance the
mass chest x-ray surveys and
tuberculin skin testing,” Sewell
pointed out.
Dub Hodge, county associa-
tion president, pointed out that
some 53,000 Americans are
stricken with tuberculosis an-
nually and that the U. S. Sur-
geon General has declared
TB still remains an urgent
health problem.
“Your continued support is
needed in this fight against TB
and other respiratory dis-
eases,” Hodge said.
Sewell pointed out that if a
person did not receive a letter
containing the seals and wished
to make a contribution, they
could send a check to the Fan-
nin County TB Association. Box
