REGARDLESS OF WHERE OR WHEN — LET US FINANCE IT FOR YOU. Lumber River Discount Co. Phone 767 South Elm St LUMBERTON, N. C unless you’re a hidelxmnd anti quarian who demands his oysters raw and in the shell, the Fish and Wildlife Service sees no rea- spn to restrict your enjoymeqt to the luscious, nutritous oyster to the months of September through April, when fishermen harvest America’s vast oyster beds. The tradition of waiting imtil the first “R”-month before eat ing oysters dates back several decades, before frozen oysters ac quired their current popularity. Today, modern transportation, packaging, and freezing techni ques enable people in all parts of the country to eat oysters every month in the year. Hence, oyster fanciers may continue to gratify their lust for oysters even after April, when the harvest ends. This year’s oyster crop is ex pected to be larger than last year’s. However, due to higher costs for seed oysters and higher wages, prices are not expected to drop. His sympathetic attiaude towards the Communists who are, infest ing America is positively loath some to us Americans who are steadfast in our loyalty to dem ocracy. He is a hindrance to the peace and security of om United States. It is hard to condenm or dis approve of booing and throwing eggs at men like Wallace. But such a manifestation of protest is not a typical example of de mocracy. It was Voltaire who said, “I disapprove of what ^ou say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it” North Carolina has clearly de monstrated to Henry A. Wallace that he, can’t expect the suppOTt of many Tarheels in his efforts to become President. His name will be on the N. C. presidential ticket, but the votes for him will be few. I am strongly against Wallace. The whopping grain crops that now are about ready for harvest have the Government faced with the gloomy problem of storage space. Under the law. Uncle Sam must rent space -to store grain taken over as part of the price control system: The storage problem not only exists with the Government, it also is confronting farmers, grain elevators, and commercial facili ties as well. The corn crop is ex pected to total more than 3-bil lion bushels, while the wheat crop most likely will yield more than 1,240,750,000 bushels. The United States prO'bably will export 450,000,000 bushels of wheat from this year’s crop. This would be 75,000,000 bushels more than the government had expect ed this country would be able to spare. On the other hand, unless the government can find a solu tion to the ^storage problems, there is grave danger that millions of dollars worth of food will go to waste.

I Lumberto# Hits Gqal Of 30; Market To Close Sept. 30th Lumibertpn.- — The Lumberton Tobacco Market, which today reached its pre-season goal of 30 million pounds, will stay open through Thursday.'September 30, for the convenience of its custom ers who have any tobacco unsold. “This date should give all our customers ample time,” Sales Supervisor M. R. Alexander pointed out today, “ as we are out of the block and will have room for all comers these last few days.” However, Mr. Alexander urged all growers to go ahead and bring their last grades in as soon as possible—“before the closing rush which usually comes the last few days.” , Lumberton’s average for the first 7 weeks of the season re mained at a near-record 851.33, or several dollars above any other Belt that has been operating for any length of time, and the mar ket yesterday appeared as strong as ever, grade for grade. In fact, the common and med ium grades appeared up a little if anything, while quality smoking leaf remained firm at 65 to 68, and the few wrappers that appeared on the market soared all the way to 80 and ^0. Some of the prize sales in the last few days include K. M. Biggs and Mr. Bell 852 pounds averag ing $67.02, Carden Sellers 1140 pounds at $67.46, and Mrs. Mary Mercer 1346 pounds at 867.41. The record for the season, how ever, went to D. C. McEachem and Wilton Ivey of St. Pauls, who made a whole sale of 1,622 pounds, mainly wrappers, far the unpre cedented average of $71.61. Almost all of the smaller mar kets on the Border and South Carolina Beits, had closed today, and Lumberton, as usual, was ex pected to take care of the “clean up” job for the convenience of the. growers in this and the neighbor ing counties in 4be two states. The sales schedule for ThtoM^ day. Sept. 2.3, will be as foUowii, First sales-—Smith’s and Caroliaau Second sales-^xie and Hedge* petJi, Third sale—Libtrty. M.
