I • ' ^ ALUMINUM AWNINGS ALSO COMPLETE Venetian Blind Repair Service Walker Electric Supply Co. FAYETTEVILLE, N. C. The migration of tobacco cur ers to Canada, chiefly the Province of Ontario, has started as usual each season from North Carolina. Usually around 1200 experienced curers from this State go to Can ada to handle the curing for Canadian growers. Many of these Canadian growers, incidentally, are North Carolina natives who migrated to Canada in years past and started tobacco growing in their adopted areas. Approximately the same regu lation exist this year as were in operation last year. Growers place orders for individual curers (most of them have been going to Can ada for this purpose for years) and the orders come from the Canada Employment Service through the USES to the ES Di- visoin of the Commission, a copy of the order going to the indivi dual curer at his home address. The curer exchanges hs forni for a Border Crossing Permit at his nearest Local Office. 222 Franklin St. Dial 3979 I %6 1J> You READY-MIX CONCRETE For immediate Delivery on your job.

Phone 692 REGARDLESS OF WHERI OB WHEN — LET US FINANCE IT FOR YOU. THE CHRISTIAN VIEWPOINT Prepared by Department of Bible Presbyterian Junioi^ College . Maxton, North Carolina Two Red Flashes \ Two red flashes have caught my eye recently. One was in the tall shubery just outside my Window. As I look ed I saw a red cardinal 4ean over and place something from his bill into what I thought was the open mouth of a y6ung bird. I went out and examined closely and fin ally I spotted a nest with a female cardinal setting upon it. The cock had brought home a tasty morsel for his mate. Two days later I was driving to speak over thb radio at a nearby town. It was Sunday afternoon and I was meeting an almost continuous line of traffic. In barely more time than would have sufficed for a high speed camera to photograph it, I saw a poignant drama. In the line of cars a black car flashed by. Just behind it a big green car was following at around fifty-five miles per hour. In the instant between the passing of the cars there was a flash of red in the center of the traffic lane just at the moment I passed. I barely had time to focus my eyes on a red cardinal as he lit beside the dead body of a female cardinal and looked at her for a split second before darting away from the oncoming car. There/w^s love and loyalty revealed in that flash of red, and a sad story of an empty nest where brooding mother love would no longer warm little eggs into new; life. Birds are governed by instinct. Their acts, do not come out of intelligent choice and the exercise of free will as do our human deeds. Often, however, our hardened human hearts can learn from them. Jesus once said, “0 Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest ' them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even, as a hen gathereth her children under her wings, and ye would not!” (Matt. 23:37) The curing season lasts lor about six weeks. Last Sunday* in the News & Observer, Raleigh, Wil liam E. Homer, Sanford news paper publisher, had a feature story about the Canadian tobacco growers, as the result of a recent visit to the Canadian tobacco area. Several of the Canadian growers, he pointed out, are North Caro lina natives, and named some of them. , 0 weed. But nowadays soil conwirv- ation specialists of ^e U. S.

' Lumber River Discount Co. Phone 767 South Elm St> LUMBEBTON, N. C In past years North Carolina has supplied more experienced curers to Canadian growers than all of the other states combined, although smaller numbers go from Virginia, Georgia and Flor ida. In case it develops that a de signated curer cannot make the trip, then the local office is given FUME 4? 4 e/r COOKING authority to turn his Border Cross, ing Permit over to another curer. Permits are not issued to primers, except in unusual circumstances, such as being a member of the family of the curer. The Canadian tobacco curing season is now beginning and curers are beginning their trips.
