MERITORIOUS
March 1st marked the dep
from our midot of * you?K man. wh
coming' to reeid* in .Farmville nearfjj
four yea" ago. a total
leaves a hoot of friends, T"0
eyes ware misty, parting br
clasps wann with real feeling,
words, expressing joint regret
good wishes, genuinely spoken
their hearts.
Josh Munden returned March
to Elisabeth City, his old home .to'
to assist in the management of 1
Belk branch there, pending the <
pled on of the new Eden ton store t?
be opened by him aa manager m
course of the next few months. <
heartiest congratnlstions to Josh
his promotion. He has been c
nected with the Belk stores for
?past 12 year*.
We feel that Farmville has t
enriched by the sojourn here of Jo
Munden and his good wife, aiid 1
departure moves us to an txpres3ioi
of gratitude, felt by the entire com!
munity, for the outstanding and 1
nal service he has rendered the t
in war time activities and worth!
while movements of a civic and reii
gious nature.
Yes, his leaving Fanfville mo\
us to review ? his activities wh
here and to an expression of appro
eiation for his keen interest, his unl
flagging zeal and meritorious achiev"
ment in community affairs while
resident.
Josh came to Farmville in
1942, highly recommended as a
ble awl efficient young business ma
but citizens were to discover as, ...
? ?ortunitie
months went by and oppor
presented themselves, that Josh Mv
den was much more than this. I
like Ernest Petteway, for whom
was sent as supply, (the for
manager entering the .service of
cowtry) made a splendid record
the conduct of the -business of 1
firm. * I
Arriving here just as the shock o
war time scarcity of goods becami
universal in the business world,_ar
the ebb of finances low, resulting
a near paralytic condition, he *
maiiuri long enough to see this
deviated in a great measni-eT and
? purchasing power of the conro
revived. He obtained and held
confidence of his associates in '
ness circles here, attaining
and better still deserving
and in all "dignifying his oo .
as an opportunity to serve society.
Rejected by military authority -
later, Josh redoubled his valiant
forts on the home front and beer
eligible, we think, for citation
courageous patriotism and achi
ment right here in Farmville
Pitt County, embodying as he
outstanding characteristics so
pensahle to the defense of our
try. "
His is a distinctive service as
vealed by a review of his re
found in our own publication durh
three years and ten months:
He served as War Finance chr!
man of the Merchants Division of
the War end Victory drives, and re
lie# campaigns including the Rei
Cross, receiving special recogmtioi
in this regard from J. B. Kittrell am
Sam Underwood, county chairmen
and from A. B. Corey in relation i
the Victory Clothing Collection,
which he was the local chairman;
member of the Board of Directors
the State Merchants Association
(the Carolina-Virginia Retailer re
ceutly carried an article compliment
ing Ms activities); a member of th
Pitt County Board of Price Control
of the Chamber of Com
to Association; i
as a member a
' Directors and as chair
~ lowship and Attend
a 32nd degree Ma
ior Warden of tin
a member of th
a loyal
of til* church, h*
served this body in the woe un
? bat effective way that
he served his firm and community.
First as a teacher of the Youth
Branch at the Sunday School and
for the past two years as Sunday
School Superintendent.
tossing an eager desire to serve,
irrepressible energy, contagious eu
i and perserversnee, his
of any cause assured a
* 'f. * teiafiwn
gratiiying' termuiauoii.
There is another commendable
characteristic pome?od hy Young
Munder in a marked degree. * It is
that of a devoted family man. Com
ing to Farmville ? a recently mar
ried couple, Josh and his wife, "the
former Miss Laura E. Burgees, of
Camden, established a home and Stor
ing their residence here have had ?
additional blessings two winsome
daughters, Bettie Jane and Miriam
Elsie. -
Josh is the son at Mrs. J. W. M lin
den, of Elisabeth (Sty, and . the late
Mr. Munden, former Register of
Deeds. His mother has been con
nected with the First National Bank
in Elisabeth (Sty for the past 25
years.
Our mutual interest in the further
ance of business in this community
and in war time endeavors brought
us into do? alliance with Josh, and
contact w? constant as we worked
together upon the problems affecting
both. Thus we came to know him
well wid a strong and lasting friend
ship was formed.
As he bows off the Farmville
stage, we wish him continued suc
cess. We shall mi? him; Ids genial
manner, happy disposition and at
tractive personality. He leaves a
deep impress on this community and
well exemplies the Rotary slogan,
"He profits most who serves best,"
bringing to mind a verse, by John
Bert Graham, of Waxahachie, Tex., a
Past Rotary District Governor, who
might have penned it with Josh in
mind had he known him.
IF
If I but owned a little shop
I'd see that my employees bop
To meet a buyer at the door;
And not look like it was a bore
To wait on folks. I'd make folks feel
That when they finished up a deal,
Both they and I were gainers. For
when customers came in my store
I'd want continuing goodwill
To be the reason why my till
Was filled with cash. And, after all,
The forthright way you hit the ball
Determines if you lose or win.
My motto, "Each customer a friend."
Wartime timber cutting and loss in

J. Frank Doggett of the Soil Con
serration Service at State College
declared that the "string method" of
contour tillage for craps (such ?
tobacco) which require ridge culti
vation and are sensitive to draining
is - expanding rapidly in this ?ate
and will mean an annual saving ?
both in cash and soil fertility ? of
millions of dollars to farmers.
The curved row practice, which has
proved so effective in the past in
quelling erosion and preserving the
quality of tobacco and other crops,
is being adopted this year by tobacoo
farmers in Maryland and Connecticut
who recently sent representative* to
this state for study of the plan.
J. E. Graham, tobacco fanner of
the Godwin community in Cumber
land County who began using carved
rows two years ago, reports that to
bacco does not drown in the terrace
channels and, inasmuch as channels
do not fill up, no rows are broken, by
water run-off, a common damage re
sulting from the use <x* straight
rows.
In applying the "string method,'
the farmer simply uses a string and
stakes to mark off a curved guide
row and follows that contour through
out the field. When a pitcher
"polls the string," he serves up "sl6w
stuff" to Stop the batter. When the
farmer pulls the string, he slows up
the water and stops erosion.
