Georgia Market Averages 18.36 Official Keport For First Two Days Says Quality And Price Above 1939 Opening fl.ue-cured tobacco sal es in Georgia and Florida were substantially better tban last year, the Marketing Service of the 1 Unibed States Deportment of Ag riculture reported Saturday as farmers in the early bright leaf belt pocketed nearly $2,000,000 in cash from the first two selling dAys of the season. Quality and price of 1940 were much better than 1939, and the Marketing Service reported grow ers "apparently well pleased" with their cash return. Twelve of 17] Georgia and Florifc markets re puted gross sales for the first two days of 10,931,964 pounds at an average of 18.36 cents per pound. Over 4,000,000 pounds, the de partment said, probably were sold) in the five markets from which official reports had not been re ceived, bringing the season's gross sales to approximately 15.000.001) pounds. Despite the heavy sales volume, most farmers were bringing their | leaf to market at a much slower rate than In previous seasons, as sured by market and government officials that there would be a steady demand throughout the selling season. A greater percentage of lemon colored tobacco, particularly suit ed for cigarette manufacture, was reported offered this season than in recent years, with domestic i companies as the heaviest pur-i chasers. The Commodity Credit Corpor ation, said the marketiug service, was represented on all markets by the buyers of one of the "im portant British concerns." These buyers were bidding actively for grades nomally purchased prior to the European War. Most mar ket authorities, however, said the export trade was only ? fraction of volume of former years despite the Commodity Cjedit subsidy. Meantime. th? North Carolina Department of Agriculture re I ported that Its fu?-cured tobacco crop had been reduced to 423, 51S000 pounds by adverse weath er; ? a reduction of eight per cent under last month's estimates. This crop volume was only 53 per cent of last year's all-time record production of 803.030.000 lbs. BIG AIR SHOW Crowd Variously Estimated Up to 6,000; Rain Doesn't Stop ProgTam With possibly the. biggest crowd to visit Louisburg in many months the Air Show announced for last Sunday proved to be a great success even though heavy clouds hung overhead and many showers visited this section. The heavy rains in other parts of the State made it impossible for around Dwenty of the planes that had reserved space to get to Louisburg. The six that were here made many flights, did stunts and on time the parachute jumper did his trick to the great/ amusement and delight of the large crowd variously estimated up to six thousand persons. The auctioning off the plane attracted much attention and the antics of the purchaser took the crowd by storm. Prizes were of fered and won and both the avia tors and spectators expressed a desire for a repetition of the oc casion. On the grounds were plenty of eats and drinks and amusements for the many who had come to pay Louisburg a visit on this oc casion and It was plainly evi dent that the favor won on this occasion will bring many of the visitors to Louisburg again. Louisburg Chamber of Com merce, sponsor for this occasion, i has just right to be proud of the success of the Sunday Air Show that went over with such a bang.

Hunger, death and destruction wrought by flood-ridden mountain streams last night drew State, Federal and civic attention to hundreds of homeless families and thousands driven from their worlc. Floodwaters over more than a dozen western counties ? reaching a historic high at North Wilkes boro ? left six persons dead, sev en otherB believed drowned and many more missing. "F lash" floods cascading tih rough precipitous mountain canyons through homes and fac tories and swept away lowland cropB throughout the mountains. Damage to highways, towns and industrial plants mounted into the millions. Governor Hoey yesterday called the Welfare Department and sur plus commodities division to rush immediate aid to hungry hund reds in flood-beleaguered commu nities and called on the Highway Patrol to lend every effort in pre venting further deat'hs along treacherous roads. Aid Is Assured Meanwhile. WPA Administrator C. C. McGintiis obtained approval of a $10,000 emergency project for feeding and housing the homeless, and the Governor stud ied minute-by-minute reports with a view of soliciting further assis tance. Local Ited Cross units threw up soup kitchens and prepared sleep ing quarters in warehouses, while the American Ked Cross received a call for general aid. Townspeo ple in stricken communities join ed quickly in the help of stricken! lowlanders. Highway Patrol radios were opened for emergency messages in communities isolated by dis rupted communications and the State Board of Health set about immediately to aid towns with polluted water systems. Aid was tendered Old Fort, Ridgecresl'. Black Mountain, Montreat. Wood lin, Marion, Biltmore, Weaver ville, Swannanoa.

At North Wilkesboro, Ave were reported drowned or missing, and flood and fire damage was estima ted at seven to tea million dol-i lars. Mayor R. T. McNeill appeal ed to the Red Cross to meet the steadily increasing need. The lo cal chapter dealti soup to the hun gry and prepared sleeping places in warehouses. The Home Chair Company bur ned at a loss of $300,000. and the blaze swept through International ^hoe Company tannery and across a row of houses. Late yesterday firemen were fighting a losing battle to control the blaze. Yadkin waters swept away 500,- J 000 gallons Of gas in storage tanks, and one tank contacted a live wire and exploded. Fuel spreading over the water brought another hazard. A gas tpnk banging against a bridge between Kikin and Jones ville slopped pedestrian traffic, and emergency cars crossed the bridge at their own risk. Half a dozen were flooded, power-plants were failing and the North Wil kesboro and Flkin systems were partially crippled. Mains were cut and floodwaters pouring into the Boone city reservoir. Bridges Go Out Highway crews, working fever ishly to open highways closed by bridge wash-outs and landslides, , reported 90 per cent of all county bridges in Watauga. Ashe, Alle ghany and Wilkes had been swept away along the Yadkn, and that) the river was gnawing at the Wil keshoro highway garage. The Wilkes prison ramp bridge was shattered. Asheville strove desperately to restore flood-rent water mains, and officials said the six-million- ? gallon supply would suffice unless' furt-her difficulty developed! Three intake mains were swept | .out by the deluge. Oteen Veterans Hospital was without water but prepared to haul tankfuls for drinking pur poses until t'he main is repaired. The turbulent Swaiinanoa River receded and traffic was restored except between Brevard and Hen dersonville.
