Good (?) 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.,
. Value of the ; 1951 tobacco crop
was estimated at 1.2 billion dol
lars. 1 " e price for the season av
e ; 1 C1.2 cents a pound. -
Walter Hotel June 27
cured ' tobacco is able to get at
least 90 per cent of parity for his
leaf on the warehouse noor.
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 . '
When they, do, tbef should also
look at the community's list of
World War II service men posted
on a memorial roster. - In Its al
phabetical place is the name:
Dwigbt D. sttwdtowar.' .
But everybody .bere calls him

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.
Annual Meeting Of
Duplin Red Cross

annual meeting of the chapter will

Duplinites who wish to be volun
teer donors should meet Mrs. Bon

Building in Goldsboro. Duplin has
sent donors on three former occas
ions. 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.
