Planters To Be Run by C. E.
Ford. Union by Grover

Meadows, Arch Wilson
And Ben Wood
Now that the date for the open- i
ing of the tobacco warehouses in
Louisburg for the 1939 season has
been set for Thursday, September
7th, 1939, it will be interesting to
note that) preparations for opening
and operating Louisburg's three
big warehouses are taking shape.
"All three houses will be operated
this year and some of them are
undergoing much needed improve- i
ments.
The Planters Warehouse will be!
operated this year by Mr. Charles
E. Ford. Mr. Ford is one of our i
younger warehousemen, but is
well experienced ? a descendant of
the popular "Ned" Ford, who so
successfully ran a warehouse here !
many years ago. He will have a
full corps of competent! help
among whom will be Coley Ar
nold, as Sales Manager.
It will- be good news to many of ,
the patrons of the Louisburg Mar- 1
ket to learn that the old "War- j
horse" in the warehouse game, S.
S. Meadows, will be active again
in the operation of the Southside !
Warehouse. He will have a3soci- j
abed with him as proprietors. Ben
Wood, of Spring Hope, and Arch
Wilson, both of whom are thor- 1
oughly Identified with the ware- 1
house game in Louisburg.
The Union Warehouse will be
run this year by Grover Harris j
and Numa Freeman, son and
grandson of a Louisburg pioneer :
warehouseman, the late John Har
ris. They are both well fitted,
well experienced and well known
warehousemen, whose many farm
er friends will be glad to know
they will be active in the ware
bouse' business in Louisburg again
this year.
With bhis line up in each house,
a full and active corps of buyers,
both for the big companies and in- ]
dependents, an earlier and longer
selling season, there is no doubt
but that Louisburg will sell a lot
more tobacco than formerly, and
more growers will learn that
Louisburg is a friendly and pro
fitable market.

County native now with Pau-j
American Airways, last month.
Winston detailed his distance

Oliver Smith, an old friend here. \
The letter itself, freighted with a!
variety of stamps that all but j
covered its envelope, returned [
across the Atlantic by clipper ship
and reached Raleigh only four
days after being posted in France. .
The Wake flier, who gave Lind-J
bergh his first Army instruction,
has been with Pan-American for
several years and has flown every
route of t'hat vast air network.
He wrote to Major Smith ^that he
was in Hong Kong when advised
by his company to return immedi
ately to pilot: a clipper on the new
Atlantic route. It took six days to
cross the Pacific, one day from
San Francisco to Baltimore and a
day and a halt to Mauseilles by
way of the Azores.
Winston is the second Tar Heel
to participate in regular transat
lantic air service. Capt. R. O. D. !
Sullivan of near Sanford comman

Danger Publicly
Recognzed
London ? Prime Minister Cham
berlain informed the House of
Commons Monday the British Gov
ernment had received reliable re-|
; ports that "intensive measures of
^ military character" were taking
place in Danzig.
i His statement marked the first
time a British Cabinet Minister
(had mentioned publicly reports of
Danzig activity.
In response to a question, the
\ Prime Minister said:
| "Keliable reports indicate that;
intensive measures oi a military ,
character are being carried out
| in the Free City.
Germans Arrive
"A large and increasing num
ber of German nationals have re
cently arrived in the Free City,
ostensibly as 'tourists' and a local
defense corps is being' formed un
der the name of 'heimwehr.'
"The Government is maiutain-j
ing contact with the Polish and j
French Governments regarding de- ;
velopment in Danzig."
(In Danzig, officials acknowl- ,
edged Saturday that "precaution-'
ary measures" had been taken and
black-uniformed Danzig SS men
were in complete charge of one i
hill and partial control of another, j
(The police had been augment-]
? ed and men appeared gearing 011 j
I their sleeves littile bands with the
'legend "heimwehr," which offici
! al quarters said indicated they
I were Danzig SS men who had
volunteered for police service. ,
1 Danzig officials insisted not a sin
i gle German "with or without a
uniform" was on duty in the Free I
City.
(An Associated Press dispatch
'from the Free City today saiil
; there were no signs of new dovel
j >pments of a military nature.)
Laborite Frederick Cocks then
asked whether the Government
proposed "to take steps to inform
Herr Hitler personally that any
attempt to change the status of
Danzig by force will be instantly
resisted by the British Govern
1 ment."
Shouts Arise
Shouts of "that has been done!"
I came from the Conservative
j benches before the Prime Minis
ter could reply. When he did speak j
he said: . ?
"The position has been mad* 1
perfectly clear by the Foreign
Secretary" ? an apparent reference
to the speech byuLord Halifax lasL
Thursday.
Laborite Hugh Dalton asked the
Prime Minister whether the Gov
ernment would convey to Warsaw
"an expression of admiration felt
in this country at the calm cour
age and self-cont'rol being dis
played by our Polish allies in face
of grave provocation."
"The Government much appre
ciates the attitude of the Polish
Government." Chamberlain repli
ed.
Chamberlain, described In us
ually well-Informed quarters as
"seriously considering" reinforc
ing the Cabinet by the inclusion
of Winston Churchill, went to
Buckingham Palace today for a
noon audience with King George
VI.
It was not known immediate
ly whether the audience was for
the purpose of informing the King
of an approaching Cabinet recon
struction or to give him a general
outline of the week-ena alarms
over Danzig ? or both.

Science has reported a bonanza

Printed in the journal' of the
American Medical Association is
the suggestion that, if your medi
cine is bitter, but you have to take
it, just rub your tongue wit>h Ice
and then gulp the dose.
To be sick la bad, to have to
take medicine that has a sicken
ing bitter taste is worse.
And now it Is all a matter of
putting your tongue on Ice.

heard its president, J. S. Ficklen
of Greenville. N. C.. describe the
"continuous shortening of the sel
ling season" in flue-cured and
burley leafdistricts as presenting
"a iuost difficult problem to the
buyers and packers of tobacco."
Ficklen asserted the situation
"deserves most serious study as to
ways and means for correction of
the constantly increasing difficul
ty."

ways the first to open, .will open
on July 25. .Other market dates.

argument the report of the sales
committee,' which recommended
t'hat all "markets be closed on
November 11, Armistice Day.
Tom W. Blackwell of Wfnston
Saleni, N. C., member of the sales
committee, recommended that the
association urge warehousemen
to effect uniform grading, elimin
ation of strainage, waste and
foreign matter, better bundling
and avoidance of large piles of
tobacco on warehouse floors,
lllackwelt also suggested that the
maximum weight of each package
be limited to 500 pounds.
For Longer Sea -oil
In his presidential address to
i lie association's 39th annual con
vention. Ficklen said it< in "evident
thai some policy satisfactory to all
. must be found, not only to prev
ent a further shortening of the
season, but to extend I he t'ime of
i the selling period beyond that
which has been used for the past
j several seasons."
Ficklen said that last year the
selling season in all belts of the
fluecured areas and in the burley
district) was "shorter than ever be
fore in the history of the trade."
The association adopted mea
sures at its meeting last year to
regulate the speed of sales, the,
method ti puking tobucA .offered
for sale and tihe spacing of baskets,
both on the flue-cured and burley

Paul Green's historical drama,
'"The I.ost Colony," in its third!
; sunuuev season at Manteo, Roan

This is the eighth in Mrs.
Hansl'sopening group of 13 pro
grams in her historical series[
I "Women in the Making of Ameri-1
ca" which are broadcast at the
same time Fridays. In addition to;
being the mother of Virginia Dare
? fjrst English child born in
America ? Eleanor Dare persuaded
Sir Walter Raleigh to send women;
I on his ill-fated Lost Colony ex-i
pedition to Roanoke Island in
| 1587.
Eleanor Dare's^-dream of empire
corresponded a great deal with
| that of Sir Walter's. He was
skeptical of sending women, think
! ing the hardships of the journey
and the New World would be too
much for them. But Eleanor said
'? the women of Devon, from which
she came, could stand the struggle
and iielp their men to build per
manent homes 'Mn the American
wilderness.

Lost Colony," which opened its
third season at the huge outdoor

symbolized this struggle around
Eleanor Dace. Since Sir Walter
was interested in a permanent
colony, it could not be achieved
without women, the home, and

in tihis direction have won her
| fame as America's first liomemak
er.
