O. Nelson and his two sons, Oliver and John have returned again this season to operate Nelson's Warehouse. Extensive improvements have j been made in the Nelson's vvare, house since last season. Renovation and rearrangement have increased the amount of floor space, while the addition of brick siding has greatly improved the appearance of the exterior.

He celebrated his golden anniversary in dealing with the golden weed plus two this year, starting his 52nd year in the warehouse I business and his 31st season on the Whiteville market. He has acquired a large following of j friends throughout this section. Oliver has been associated with his father here for the past 17 seasons and with John for the last 9 years. The elder son found Whiteville and the people of Columbus county so much to his liking that he came here to make his home several years ago. Operating a large feed and flour mill here, he serves the farmers in this section not only during tobacco season, but the whole year round as well. The personnel at the Nelson j house for the 1945 tobacco season is little cnangeu rrom last year.

These Prisoners of War will be used to move tobacco from the ' warehouse floors and to relieve ; congestion resulting from labor I shortage in the packing plants. The Whiteviile Tobacco Board , sf Trade began th.eir negotiation , early in January to make the POW labor available for the 1945 season. Their farsightedness in ( this matter has placed Whiteviile n a much better position, as re- ' ?ards labor, than most of the 1 Jther markets in the Border Belt. ? The work of H. E, Blanchard, i Parm Forester, made the White- t fille POW Camp possible. At , in early meeting M. B. Kibler, t Jr., Secretary of the Whiteviile , Merchants Association, was elected Secretary and Treasurer of the Whiteviile Prisoner of War Hamp Committee. Mr. Blanchard,,' issisted by Mr. Kibler, worked I constantly on the project until ] its completion in May. The Prisoners of War are reg-! j jlarly engaged in timber and , aulpwood production both of ' vhich are on the governments must" production list. The 1 Vhiteville Tobacco Board of 1 Trade, however, has been grant- 1 :d the same high priority help by i the timber and pulpwood pro-! lucers. j | N'AKINA NEWS Mrs. Alford R. Windham and laughter.
