Summer time Will Arrive Saturday June 21 The almanacs say that summer time will arrive officially this Sat urday, June 21.- Hmm. Could be, could be, but what have we 'oeen having these past three weeks? Day after day of far above normal tem peratures not only here in Kenans ville but all over the United States. Scorching temperatures put new records into weather books this past week, and the toll of deaths rose with the mercury in a heat wave that has covered most of the country. Monday, for example, the mer cury hit a new high in Chicago for the date,' a sizzling 98 the hottest day in that city since August 1949. A week ago was the hottest June day recorded in North Carolina for years, 100 in Raleigh, 104 in Smith field, 106 in Kenansville. And this week it is not only the heat but the humidity that is bad it was 88 per cent on Monday in the Coastal Plain section. Over the week end the torrid air caused at least US deaths, mostly from drownings. The heat has been strength sapping everywhere with people of all ages suffering from summer complaint, upset stomachs, dizziness. ' In Illinois heat caused streets to buckle. : Bumpsup to three feet high popped up in the pavement. Crops were in danger of being ruin ed everywhere. Yes. it's been hot here for more than two weeks now, and we need rain more every day it Is the worst heat wave in 30 years But even as bad as It bas been five days Were above 99, It has been worse in other places. - St Louis reported its 12th day of unbearable beat 100 every day, and In tbe high eighties at night Some of those shivery winter days would feel pretty good right now.- And if this Is Springy well, what can sum mer be like? .- . v., .

When a member s tobacco fails to bring at least parity at auc tion. Stabilization buys bis tobac co with funds borrowed irom.tne Commodity Credit Corporation and later, resells it for. a higher price,' Weeks said. One of the outstanding features of the Stabilization system,' he said. Is the fact that it is owned and operated by and for the flue cured tobacco producers. This non-profit organization is an out standing example of what can be done when a group sets out to pro vide a self-sustaining program de signed to overcome tobacco market ing problems.' Weeks urged that every tobacco producing county in the bright leaf belts jnake a special effort to have a large representative group pre sent at the meeting. S55 'imiUHT W. EISENHOWER ABILENE, KANSAS, Ike Eis enhower came hack nome to aea Icate a war memorial museum, but the memory of the man himself is etched forever in tbe hearts of his friends and neighbors who know him best. In Abilene they do not simply like Ike they love him. OldHtime citizens wept openly when, in one of two public speech es, he paid tribute to his parents 'who lived in that little cottage be hind the trees and reared our fam ily.' And he was cheered when he de clared: 1 have found out later ttiat we were very poor but the glory of America Is that we djdn t kaow it then.' Time after time he recognized ac quaintances and waved, or yelled out first name greetings. Among the proudest was Charles M. Harger, 89-year-old Abilene newspapre publisher who once em ployed Ike as a carrier boy and later was instrumental in helping arrange his entry into West Point. Eisenhower's ' wholesome Ameri can background was dramatized in a thousand ways during two days ot arama-packea activities. Past a creamery where Ike work ed as a boy, an automobile caravan carried him and some of the most prominent political figures of the nation: Later, a parade, depicting every step of hi lifetime passed in re vief before him Ike with his baseball team-mates; at the old 'swimming hole; fishing in Mud i Creek. Eisenhower alternately laughed, cheered and came close to tears as he saw old friends including sur viving members of his high school football team, posed in gridiron ?r ray. One float was occupied by several of his former school tea chers. A huge picture of Mrs. Eisen hower was captioned 'Ike's Boss' He nodded enthusiastically and grinned broadly. Eisenhower's liking for West ern stories was acknowledged by the presence of scores of saddle horses ridden by members of or ganizations retaining the flavor of this plains area. Two porters in the Sunflower Ho tel quarreled good naturedly over which would handle Ike's luggage, for each counted him, a personal friend. The barber on tbe cor ner, the postmaster, someone in almost every place of business and every home spun' yarns of Eisen hower's boyhood. ' In the years ahead millions are expected to come here to Inspect the Eisenhower family home and after it la completedthe memor ial museum. -. t : 1 .

K. uraay Duplin County is announcing its second new industry in the post war era, A. J. Jenkins of Warsaw this morning handed the Times thi official announcement that a cot ton fabric dress manufacturing plant is locating there before the end of 1952. In a communication from Harry Epstein, partner in the Top Mode Manufacturing Company of Dauphin, Pa., Mr. Epstein said he was very well pleased with the reception he received in Warsaw a few days ago and especially the cooperation and courtesies shown him by Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Cav enaugh. He stated he had definite ly decided to move one of his plants from Pennyslvania to Warsaw. Mr. Jenkins, who owns the building for merly occupied by the. Warsaw Wood Products Company is plan ning to begin a remodeling project on the building shortly and will lease it to the new company. Mr. Jenkins said everything should be in readiness for it to open by Oct ober 1st. The plant manufactures. "Top Mode Fabrics" a cotton dress made to sell in the lower price field. They sell directly to the merchant. The mill .gets its cotton materials from North Carolina which helped influence it to move south. At present they plan: to move one plant to Warsaw and if labor conditions in general are sat isfactory Mr. Epstein says be will move all his plants there together with his family. The company ir owned by he, his brother and moth er. On the back page will be found an ad asking all white ladies in the specified age limits who are inter ested In work, to apply at the town hall in Warsaw. When the plant is completed and running at full cap acity, that is the entire set up of all plants, it will employ some over 200 women. Credit for securing the new in dustry must first go to Aubrey L. Cavenaugh of Warsaw, member of the Department of Conservation and Development; to A. J. Jenkins who played the ace card in selling the Epsteins and to the Warsaw Industrial Corporation which was recently organized to promote all the interests of Warsaw and to so add in securing some industry. The corporation is organized with an authorized capital of $100,000 with. 43 Warsaw citizens already having purchased one share of stock each. A. J. Jenkins is president; Lee Brown, vice-president and Paul Potter secretary-treasurer. Our hats ara off to Aubrey Cav enaugh and John Jenkins and the other progressive citizens of War saw. Maybe they have pointed the way for other towns in Duplin to get some industry. Mr. Cavenaugh has received some criticism since he became a member of the State Department of C. and D. especially in his home county, but Aubrey has come through and has proven to the people of his home town that he has meant what he has been saying. He says he is just as anx ious to help the other towns in Duplin if he can secure the pro per cooperation. Congratulations, to you, Mr. Cavenaugh.

The need for blood for our wounded boys is increasingly ur gent. Raleigh fell far short of its quota this past week. We have to make up this deficit someway let us try to show that Duplin does not forget its boys who are wounded and dying far from home that we might live in security. It is as little as we can do for them who are giv ing so much for us. Marshall Williams' Body Is Recovered Official word was received bv Mrs. Marshall Williams, Jr..
