A Testimonial i | An Advertiser Sees His Morning Star Delivered BY JOHN SIKES WALLACE, Oct. 12—This is a sort of begrudged testimonial to the Morning Star’s circulation in the province of southeastern North Carolina written with dazed amazement, or amazed dazement— can’t figure out ex actly which. ] It should have been written yesterday, if at all. But I was too sleepy then, which state of exhaustion — physical, mental, and spiritual — was directly at tributable to the aforemen tioned Morning Star’s circula tion in the aforementioned prov ince of Southeastern North Car olina. I was in no position, figura tively and literally, to gather any notes for this indition. Therefore, I draw freely from jnenjory which I do not trust •any too much because of its shaken condition. • However, it all stems from a special section of the Star in which there was printed a good many sticks of type extolling the virtues of the town of Wal lace as a more than commonly good place for farmers to sell their tobaccos and is a munici pality in which the oitizens have a more than ordinary amount pi get up and do. Inasmuch Its I am a firm be kever in the merits of Wallace and concur wholeheartedly with the opinion of Mayor Hoffler of here that the place is one of the most piogressive towns in America and because I’m paid for doing the job, I had a hand in the production of this par ticular special section. I fell in love so deeply with the section and its attendant contents that I stuck around the Star editorial, composing, and press rooms until the product had been given birth. And, be ing a person of much heart, even then I was reluctant to leave this babe without person ally helping to steer its fledg ling steps to the heaths and hearthstones of the countryside where it might expect to find the warmth of human interest. Especially since these steps must be made over the maze of byways that vivisect south eastern North Carolina and dur ing that part of the night which, on Monday morning, might well be described as the dank and stark and gloomy hours before aawn. A. C. Blue, of the Star’s bat-1 Wry of normally unseen em ployees,— unseen because they snap to dyty just after the coun try club set has sprawled itself into bed for what is left of the night and just before the coun try set has sprung out of bed to get on with another long day’s chores — invited me to ride with him to Wallace in one of the Star’s panel jobs from which, each morning, the new ly-born Star is tossed to the citizenry. I mention panel job purpose ly because Mr. Blue comforted me, after we’d trundled out through Wilmington’s streets onto the highway about Wrights boro, by saying, when this par ticular panel job became invol ved in the centrifugal force that is set up when a vehicle whams boisterously around a sharp curve, that “these panel jobs never do turn over when they seem like they’re going to.” I was glad that he told me that because I’d already picked out a spot somewhere about Castle Hayne where I would probably look natural laid out upon the ground while one of the good burghers wen: to fetch Coroner Gordon Doran to come out and take a clinical look at my mortal remains. Mr. Blue’s remarks reassured me as to the normal right-side upness of the panel job I was prety sleepy when Mr. Blue and I, an! a few thousand freshly printed Stars, took off from the lot back of the Murchi son building where the panting paper boys await their consign ments of Stars each morning. I figured I’d be in Wallace i*i about an hour and get a cou ple of hours of sleep before springing up eagerly from my bed to scamper out to the Wal lace warehouse floors to record more good sales made by to bacco farmers of this section. That’s where I ran into the Star’s circulation a formidable, huge proposition which must be attended to before the folks pull (Heading Time 20 Seconds I PERMANENT TYPE ANTIFREEZE Will be in short supply again this year.

Instead of a direct, quick trip to Walace, Mr. Blue directed the panel job into every by-road that runs off Route 117. I began the trip perched on several packages of Stars. But with each crossroad Mr. Blue took a package from underneath me until by the time we got around St. Helena I was sitting on the bare floor of the P.J. While I don’t know their nan*ss I do know where pretty much of everybody lives in that part of Southeastern North Car olina bisected by Highway No. 117 and along the tributaries leading up to Highway 117. This is because Mr. Blue stopped the P.J. at about everybody’s house to deliver a Star. Most of the folks were still sleeping. At least there were no lights on in most of the houses. I figure Mr. Blue and the di minishing Star babies rode something over 100 miles to get frorr. Wilmington to Wallace. If it hadn’t been for the Star’s cir culation we would have made it in something like 38 miles. Just in case you ever need to know you have but to lpok me up and I can tell you how Wil lard, Watha, Rocky Point, Pen derlea, St. Helena, and dozens of crossroads, plus the towns of Castle Hayne and Burgaw look in the dozy hours before dawn. I can also offer first-hand sub stantiation to the Audit Bureau of Circulation on the number of copies of The Star that Mr. Blue delivers each morning. Name me one place Mr. Blue ana I didn’t stop to deliver one or more papers me other morning and ‘IT tru you that piace doesn’J exist in that part of Southeastern North Carolina that lay along our route. Mr. Blue sensed my almost uncontrollable desire to sleep, plus my sense of frustration that kept a-building as I rapidly got barely nearer Wallace be cause of his insistence upon paying a visit to each house m Pender and Duplin Counties be tween here and Wallace. tie torn me, lor instance, he d just been offered a job working for a dairy. Said the man prom ised $25 per week, a house to live in, and three quarts of milk each day. “The 25 bucks, the house, and the three quarts of milk would have been all right,” Mr. Blue said, “but damned if I know how *o milk a cow.” He told me I should have been with him on such and such a morning when 1.) It was sleeting and the P.J. slid every where but on the road where it didn’t stay most of the time, and 2.) It was so foggy he couldn’t read the names on the Stars and never did find out which paper went to what peo ple but he didn’t think it made any difference because all Stars are alike, and 3.) It rained so hard the water in the road came into the P.J. and The Stars floated out to the custom ers instead of him having to throw them out. Being sleepy and fuzzy-mind ed when all sorts of things are conjured up in your brain I thought all this trouble and danger and hazards Mr. Blue, who’s been driving over the same route every morning for the past three years, has en countered was very dramatic. Put me in mind of that saying about the post office people, that “neither rain, nor snow, nor gloom of night can stay these couriers from the swift performance of their duties”. Only thing that Mr. Blue had said that made me feel a part of this early morning meander was that “most of these folks who live around here sell their tobacco in Wallace”. Tha; vas heartening. Because if all the folks Mr. Blue delivers Stars to each morning sell their tobacco in Wallace we’re get ting a h-'well, a pas sell of tobacco from that sec tion. TOBACCO PRICES (Continued From Page One) was lower with more leaf and nondescript and less cutters placed on the markets. Both prices and quality of of ferings were down on Old Belt markets. Most better grades were off from $1 to $2 while some inferior grades were down as much as $5. A few grades which were sold in small quan tities registered gains of from $1 to $2, and low orange lugs were up $4 for the best gain of the day. There was a sharp increase in common quality leaf and nondescript and less good and choice offerings. Sales con tinued blocked on most mar kets. Monday’s sales totaled 7,716, 582 pounds at an average of $12.27, an increase of 82 cents from last Friday. Weaker demand sent prices downward from $1 to $6 on the Border markets with the ma jority of losses in the $2 to $3 range. Larger offerings on fair and gocri smoking leaf tended to improve the general quality of the sales. On Monday a total of 2,446 216 pounds brought an average of $39.17 per hundred.

MIAMI, Fla., Oct. 14—<U.P)_A rejuvenated tropical hurricane headed for the South Carolina coast tonight with winds up to 90 miles an hour. The Miami Weather Bureau ordered hurri cane warnings posted from Charleston, S. C. to Wilmington, N. C. at 10:30 p. m, EST and advised all emergency precau tions be taken. “The tropical storm has ap parently attained hurricane force again.’’ the weather ad visory said, “and is located near latitude 32.2, longitude 78.2, or about 100 miles East-South east of Charleston at 10:30 p. m. Airplanes reported 80 to 90 mile per hour winds within 150 miles of the center.” The Weather Bureau said the storm “is apparently drifting slowly toward the West-North west, probably about 10 miles per hour. If there are no further changes in direction of move ment, the center should reach the South Carolina coast in the vicinity of Georgetown, S. C., early Wednesday morning. Storm warnings were displayed elsewhere from Brunswick, Ga., to the Virginia capes. The Weather Bureau said the hurricane, which flooded South Florida with damaging cloud bursts Saturday night and later dwindled to storm proportions, apparently had split into two centers. One of the storm cen ters was gradually spending it self at sea, but the other picked up full hurricane strength, changed direction for a new on slaught against the mainland. “This new center is the one that’s dangerous,” a weather of ficial said.

Juliana read the oath slowly, in a clear voice. The audience began to cheer her as she read the last word. After the ceremony, Juliana and Bernhard rode to the royal summer palace in the Hague Wood in a short motorcade, es corted by Hussars. The route was lined by cheering thou sands, many of whom had been waiting for hours in the raw, greyish weather of a bleak au tumn day. Juliana’s first official act was to receive the credentials of two new envoys—N. Lelis of Greece and M. A. Wassard of Den mark. Queen Wilhelmina, who has been sovereign of The Nether lands since 1898, was greatly weakened by the strain of the war and the postwar task of rebuilding her country.

How ever, she and Bernhard will continue to live with their four daughters in their own palace at Soestdijk, 20 miles East of Amsterdam. VETERANSWILL GET (Continued From Page One) ministration officials, in confer ences with tile committee bad agreed to give thirty-day notice on the sale of Army camps so that veterans could organi7e corporations and purchase the potential housing with one hun dred per cent financing by the RFC. Dillon Myer, head of the Pub lic Housing Authority, also told the committee of his agency’s plans for selling 119,000 perma nent war housing units, with first preference to veterans. The Hillcrest units at Wilming ton are among 30,000 others be ing withheld at the request of cities w’aich wish to use them as low-rent developments for low-income groups. As the six other points in their program, the VFW leaders proposed: 1. That the federal govern ment make home loans directly to veterans who cannot get fi nancing from a private bank. 2. That the federal govern ment build a million units of housing to be rented at not more than fifty dollars a month, with preference to veterans. 3. That investments of private capital in multi-unit housing de velopments be encouraged by writing half the cost off the tax books within five years. 4. That Congress pass the Taft - Ellender - Wagner long range hous/ng bill, with a pro viso that all public housing units be sold within fifteen years. 0. mat exports ox Duixamg materials be banned until the housing shortage is eased. 6. That local VFW posts make on-the-spot surveys to help eliminate restrictive prac tices of builders and labor un ions which are blocking the use of pre-fabricated housing. Noble disclosed that the 584 unit Lake Forest housing proj ect at Wilmington, which was purchased by a veterans coop erative there, will be used by the VFW as a model to demon strate how veterans can buy government-owned property in large quantities. The VFW will distribute ten thousand copies of a brochure showing how the Wilmington veterans bought the Lake For est property for $1,879,000 with forty years to repay rat three and a half per cent interest, and ninety-five per cent FHA insurance. The Housing committee will meet again in Washington when Congress reconvenes. Noble, who went home tonight, is to testify before a Congressional committee on housing early next year.

W. Spa^d with a yield of 98.8 bushels. The club donated $100 to the Burgaw High school Athletic Association. G. W. Spayd, one of the champions, is a large blue ber ry producer, having more than thirty acres in berries. He lives at Montague. During the afternoon wp went through the Pender Cold Stor age and Freezer Locker Cooper ative Inc. Plam. shr on doh da ative inc. plant. This is e hand some building 52 by 107 feet. It cost $68,000. The cooper ative now has 170 members, the ative now has 170 members, the stock being $100 a share. The official staff is composed of J. V. Whitfield, president; C. R. Dillard, vice-president; T. J. Betts, secretary - treasurer; Gale Harrison, A. B. Herring, J. W. Howard, S. A. Lanier, C. L. Mioore, M. A. Rooks, Boney Wilson, directors; R. R. Rich, the public’s representative; and Lewis V. Blake, manager. There is a zero or quick freez ing room for the quick freezing of vegetables and with 360 lock ers; a meat curing room cap able of handling 70,000 pounds of meats; a chill and aging room; and one for vegetables and eggs. Within four months the plant was able to do better than pay expenses and its income is in creasing each month, — The members have in mind the early construction of a feed mill on the vacant property back of the plant. The manager, Lewis Blake,! together with Steve Wilkins and James Ward are the trio who originated turkey steaks. This was conceived as a means of marketing surplus males. Out of 3,750 pounds of turkey steaks ali has been marketed successfully but 25 pounds. The shipments went to Baltimore, Richmond, Philadelphia and many other cities outside the state. Whether the steaks will be placed on the market again depends on whether there is another surplus of males. Another interesting success has been the freezing of thir teen tons of blueberries placed in the plant when the market dropped and held for more prof itable marketing: The berries were sold just last week at a substantial profit over the mar ket price at the time the ber ries were placed in the plant. This success presages similar holdings for profits a^d a great er freedom from the ; estric tions of the climate at the time of harvesting. Still another success enjoyed by a grower, the only one so far, was the growing ot brocoli, which was frozen and then mar keted. This grower is increas ing his brocoli acreage. The purpose of the plant is through processing „o give to the producers a higher price than that obtainable for raw prod ucts. Also it aids further divers ification of farm crops. The plant presently is handling meats, turkeys, poultry, eggs, blueberries, and brocoli. Ten bushels of Irish potatoes are now in the plant being stored to determine hew long they can be held before deterioration sets in. That ex periment has not been conclud ed. — There is some talk about the construction of an abattoir but this is not as yet so definite as the plans for a feed mill. The members are finding out for themselves, at a cost of five per cent commission whether processing raw products will i multiply the farm income.

Previous messages told of re moving groups of 10, 21 and three persons from the plane, all of them prostrate by seasickness and including children and in fants. The Bermuda Sky Queen took off during the night from Shan non airport, Eire, for Newfound land, but ran short of fuel at t 5:05 a.m. after battling heavy head winds on the flight. Capt. _harles Martin, pilot of the craft, then made a forced landing on the storm-swept wa ters and taxied the plane nearly three miles to the side of the Bibb. “Plane has damaged left wing and sponsons badly weakened,” the message continued. “Pilot deems future takeoff not pos sible. The message praised the rescue efforts of Lts. (jg) B. S. Brown and C. S.

LUCKMAN RELAXES (Continued From Page One) lasses; the dry millers, includ ing manufacturers of flour and cereals, and commercial live stock feed producers. Luckman indicated no change is intended in the committee’s request that Americans do with out eggs and poultry on Thurs day. But he acknowledged that there are “two schools of thought” as to whether much grain is saved by not eating chickens. Some objectors have insisted that curtailment of chicken consumption would lead farmers to hold the fowls off the market and continue to feed them grain. Seek New Ideas “Any time we can come up with a better and faster way of saving grain, the committee will be the first to adopt it,” Luck man said. Luckman issued a statement that the campaign to conserve 100,000,000 bushels of grain by mid-1948 is “beginning to hit its stride.” He said he expects a definite commitment within a day or two from the brewers involving additional conserva tion They recently agreed to discontinue use of wheat and table grades of rice. Luckman said the wheat-rice offer did not go far enough. He has observed that they use large quantities of other grains. “A further step must involve some reduction in actual pro duction to accomplish a reason ably substantial cut in the total use of grain,” he contended Europe’s winter needs — and what Americans and their Con gress might do about it — was a prime topic elsewhere in the capital. Harold E. Stassen said that the average American should reduce his diet by 15 per cent— and that Congress should come together immediately to act on European economic issues.
