was apparent from trend of for Ihc commission to meet he that the farmers S.f'l 6 0 11 present, are pretty well fed up with the way ASC is administer-, ng the tobacco program. It is true that the attendants represented a small segment of tobacco growers, but there Is enough resentment to endanger the whole price suport plan unless current regulations can be modified. AIR memorandum from the Department of Administration is being circulated around stale offices calling attention to the possibility savings in travel cost by using air coach service rather than standard scheduled flights when il is available. There is about SIS differei in round.trip fare between Raleigh and New York-, around $100 between Raleigh and the west coast. State employees do not travel a'great deal by air, but several hundred dollars a year might be saved by use of air coach service.

Eastern Air Lines folks say the principal difference is that no omplimentary meals are served nrottte. The air coaches have; ostesses, the planes are its com- orlablc and the flying time Ihe atne. Recipients of the memo robably would have thought othlng of it if it had not includ- mention that this mode of ravel should be used rather than irst class" service. "This is the first lime In many ears with the state," said one Idlimer, "that it has been sug- ested that people traveling in le name and in the interest of 'ortli Carolina should go less han first class." The new law requires that one meeting a year be held at some east of Raleigh, one be- ween Raleigh and Hickory and one west of Hickory. Pursuant to hat requirement the October neetiiiK has been tentatively set or Asheville on October 7-8.

Pur- xxse of the regional meetings is to give Ihe people of those areas convenient opportunity (o present petitions or requests to the commission. The law does not limit the number of meetings permitted outside of Raleigh, but only three ire required. The commission can neet in Hickory but a wise guy points out that will have to be an extra out-of-Raleigh session and cculd not be counted in the 1JIU L.l*vlku 1LUL UU UUllllLCU HI LELL A egal requirement.

They are jusi a few of the 1.400 religious sects which have grown up among the Bantu people of South Africa -since 1910. when missionaries paured They have deviated a bit from the more orthodox religions represented by the missionaries.

They include much religions dancing and chanting. They hap- tize in name of the Holy Trinity by tola! immersion and preachers claim Christ was black tnan. Periodically a drowning is reported after an overenthusiastic minuter has held, a convert's head under water too long. They count their membership; either in thousands or on the fingers of one hand. Their min- isters are either flamboyant prophets or domestic servants who doit robes on Sunday afternoons to hold religions ritual; on a nearby vacant lot.

The four largest are: The Church of Christ, founded by self-styled Bishop James Limba; the Church of the Nazarene. whose prophet is J. Galilee Shembe, a university graduate: The Zion Christian Church of Edward Lekganyane; and the Nationwide Parish of Nicholas Bhengu, preacher and faith healer. Each of these four chUrdus has an estimated membership of 50.000 and itt most cases are family concerns with leadership handed down from father to son. The sole church recognised elsewhere in the world is the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which is part of the American Negro church of the same name.
