RHODODENDRON NOW BLOOMING ON SCENIC ROAD Th. purplft rtodotaxira. is bow b looming along th* JMue Ridge Parkway and haa reached its height In areas between the State line and Blowing N. C. Buds an inountain which blofaoms simul ttneouily with the catawbiense or purple rhododendron are now beginning to burst forth in bloom at altitudes below 1300 feet. This flowering shrub should roach its height sometime between June IS and ISth. The flame azalea is still bloomi&g and can be seen for th* next week or so at the higher altitudes. One of the out standing natural attractions of th* Parkway is the profusion of wildflowers which ar* blooming everywhere at this time, masses at violets, bluets, golden ground sel, trillium and field hawkweed ar* seen on all sides. A little lat er and during the month of July th* big white blooming rhodo dendrons will take over the mountain flower atag*. Thousands of Parkway visi tors enjoyed the cool and quiet beauty of the Parkway this past w**k-end, when record crowds were clocked at Doughton Park, near Laurel Spring, N. C. and at Cumberland Knob on the Vir ginia, North Carolina State line. UITUIUAL ACCIDENT Martinez, Cal. ? John C. Mc Laughlin, 30, railroad fireman, was critically injured when a stray rifle bullet struck him as he sat in his switch-engine cab. Taken to a hospital, he was in too critical condition for an operation to remove the .22 bul let from his brain. Police figure someone practicing with a rifle presumably fired the shot. Production of flue-cured to bacco in Japan dropped from 99 million pounds in 1940 to about IS million pounds in 1M& Dur ing the past five years, however, production has steadily increas ed and Is now clos* to 00 million pounds. 4-H Club Sake Do Not Come Under OfcS OPS control* do not affect the nlc of live cattle by 4-H clubs and similar youth groups, and ?uch galea can be made outside the quotas for livestock slaughter if conducted at the time of a fair or exhibition and under the aus pices of the extension service of the Department of Agriculture or a recognised state afency, Director Ben K. Do;<glas of the Charlotte district OPS pointed out yesterday. Recently, the district director recalled, a prize beef produced by a 4-H club member was pur chased by a Charlotee meat dealer for $840. The price per pound averaged on foot about 80 cents, or perhaps $1.90 a pound dressed. Ceiling price for quality steak, said meat specialists of the Charlotte office, was $1.10 a pound. The meat dealer was far from balancing his accounts after the prize beef was cut up and sold, but the 4-H club mem ber had made good money and the dealer had received much very favorable advertising. Sales of prize cattle are auth orized by Amendment 9 to Dis tributing Regulation 1 of the OPS. Quotas to be slaughtered are set each month. The June quota for slaughterers is 80 per cent of the 1990 base for cattle, calves, sheep, and lamb, and 119 per cent of that base for swine. Authority for fair and exhibi tion managers to issue certifica tes for purchase of 4-H livestock for slaughter must be obtained in advance from the district OPS office, Mr. Douglas said. The western North Carolina office is in Charlotte, the eastern in Ral eigh. Sorrows are like thunder clouds; in the distance they look black, but overhead they are hardly gray. ? Jean Paul Richter.

Many Service People Are Covered by "34 Charlotte, June 13 ? 1 Thousand* of business men and women pro viding services of many type* were reminded today by Direc tor Ben E. Douglas of the office of price stabilization for western North Carolina that they are covered by ceiling price regula tion No. M which requires them to do certain definite and detail ed things in order fully to com ply The regulation, the OPS dir^ tor made it clear, covers a multi tude of services. Regulation 34 Includes but in no sense ia limit ed to auctioneers, automobile repairing, servicing, and renting businesses, barber shops, beauty shops, billiard parlors and bowl ing alleys, bondsman, cleaners, diaper service operators, exter minating services, garages, jewelry and watch repairers, laundries, linen supply services, office equipment, rental and re pairing services, parking lot operators, pawnbrokers, photo finishers, radio repairing and servicing, gasoline service stat ions, shoe repairing and shoe shining establishments, tire re pairing and recapping, television repairing and service. Sellers of services are defined as those who perform any act or acts otherwise than as an em ployee, for a fee, charge, or consideration. The term "service" or "service" or "services" in cludes any privilege sold or granted for such fee, charge, or consideration, and the regulation includes also the rental of any commodity or service. Under this regulation the pro vider of any such service must preserve for examination by the OPS all records regarding prices, rates, or pricing methods, and before June 16 must mail to the district OPS office ? Charlotte is the western North Carolina dis trict office ? a copy of a state mpnt rnmnletp and detailed. showing the names of the firm, the address, the date prepared and 'the signature of the owner or authorized agent, together with ceiling price rates, or pric ing methods, and an adequate description of each service. The ceiling prices for such services, Mr. Douglas pointed out, are the highest prices for which such services were sup plied during the base period of December 19, 1950, to January 23, 1951. Violation of the provi sions of the regulation subjects the violator to criminal penal ties, civil enforcement actions, and suits for treble damages, Mr. Douglas warned.
