MANY TURKEYS ON THE MARKET Plentiful This Year, Bui Prices Near Ceilings In Most Areas CHICAOO. Nov. 17 —UP)— Tom Turkev, Absent from many of the notion's holiday festive boards in wartime, will be available In large quantities as the piece de resis tance for the first peacetime Thanksgiving dinner in four years. There are millions of turkeys — ♦his year’s enlarged crop totalled 44,1 soioco—and there will be plen ty available-in almost every sec tion of the country for next Thursday’s holiday feast. The crop is 22 per cent greater than a year ago and 44 per cent more than the 10-year average. Housewives shopping for Amer ica’s traditiqpal holiday bird will find the turkey in nearly every neighborhood market, the Insti tute of American Poultry Indus tries said today. SHORTAGES Last year army requirements, la bor shortages, and other wartime factors kept the turkey from many Civilian dinner boards. The mili tary demands, much smaller than last year, already have been filled this year through set-aside orders Which were lifted in September. Dr. Cliff D. Carpenter, institute president, said more of the large ioms are available for civilian con sumption than last year. Prices stand near ceiling in some areas despite the increased sup plies. Turkey hungry consumers are buying the birds as they come to market. Carpenter declared, in stead of waiting for the holidays. PRICES The Chicago retail ceiling price for all grade A dressed young birds, all weights, stands at 53 cents a pound. For the drawn turkeys, prices range from 63 cents a pound for the lightweight birds to 59 to 60 cents a pound for heavyweights of 16 1-2 pounds or more. Prices throughout the rest of the country vary within a cent or two of Chicago costs. In most areas, an abundance of chickens also was reported. The crmv has stepped out of the chicken market and more birds are going directly to civilian chan nels. A1 UMIt Starts On Page One (In addition to Pasco there is one at O?k Ridge, Tenn., also mak ing plutonium). They are the sweete-t machinery operating with the least trouble of any power plant that I know.” Y’ *R TO BUILD Dr. Compton said that a rea son' iy efficient atomic power plant could put into operation wi( ' n a year, making superheat ed stppm to drive a turbine. But this plant would be only a de monstration, and not economic without a number of years of further development. ‘‘Prominent advantages of atomic power ” he said, “are the extra ordinary low rate of fuel consump tion and consequent low co6t of fuel, wide flexibility and easy con trol, and complete absence at the power plant of smoke or noxious fumes. “With the pre-war price of ura nium oxide at roughly 3.00 per pound, and of coal at 3.00 per ton, this would mean the economical Use of uranium as fuel if only one part in a thousand of its avail able energy is used. Actually we ahould expect the first plants built for producing atomic power to be lonsiderably more efficient than this, which would mean a •ubstontial cost advantage for Uranium.”. Tli uranium power will be safe. Dr. c or. said that atomic ex plosic s.ch as destroyed Hiro ahime, . nnot occur accidentally. The n vs emitted by the burning uranium will limit power units to perhaps a minimum size of 50 tons. Most of this weight is the two or three feet of solid steel, Dr. Compton said is needed to shield personnel.

SEAL QUOTA IS_ PUT AT $4,200 Cleveland county's quota for tuberculosis seals has been set at $4,200 according to Miss Mary E. Griffin, local executive secretary who is working in the county dor ing control work. Mrs. Rush Hamrick, seal sale chairman, says that a canvas of the business firms in Shelby and Kings Mountain was made last week, but as yet the report of re sults is not ready. Next week the sale will be conducted by mail with thousands of seals being mailed to citizens who are expected to keep and use the seals on their Christmas mail and return the money therefor. Governor Gregg Cherry has is sued a proclamation designating the period between Nov. 19 and Christmas as the time for the sale of Tuberculosis Christmas seals and pointing out that 95 percent of the seal fund is for a North Carolina health program.

I UN-OF-tW "OAL REFUSED Shelby Dealers Decline To Accept Substitute Fuel _ j The only coal available for Shelby right now, according to i message sent today by C. J Pot i ter, deputy solid fuels adminis : trator ,to the local Chamber of Commerce which had appealed for relief is run-of-the-mine coal. This class of fuel has been of fered as an emergency substitute to local dealers who have uniform ly turned it down. The run-of mine coal is said to have trash and slate in it and is also said to be too fine to burn in grates. Stok er bins in Shelby are fairly well supplied, it was learned this morn ing. What is needed most is fuel for grates and some hand-fired furnaces. If suppliers can fill their com mitments Shelby dealers will re ceive 368 cars of coal through March, Shipments are expected ! to be speeded up in December be- j cause by that time, it was stated by Potter, the mines will be through with their Great Lakes shipments. The Chamber of Commerce here appealed a few days ago to Senator Clyde R. Hoey, and Rep. A. L. Bulwinkle to do something about the coal shortage in Shel by. They immediately took up this matter with the Solid Fuels administration. Today’s informa tion that local dealers had refus ed to accept run-of-mine coal is the only development so far. CHINESEMOVE IN MANCHURIA CHINWANGTAO. Nov. 17 —UP' —Chinese nationalist army head quarters announced its troops cap tured Shanhaikwan yesterday in a flanking movement that forced the Chinese communist Eighth route army to abandon the great wall gateway into Manchuria. (The Chungking press today re ported. however, that Chinese gov ernment officials who earlier had accepted control of postal and tel egraph facilities from the with drawing Russians at Changchun, Manchurian capital, now were re turning to Chungking. (They had lost the protection of the Soviet occupation garrison, these reports said, and “fully arm ed” Chinese communists have been ; seen in the vicinity of Chang i chun, in which nationalists had only a handful of officials. Among ! those withdrawing, they said, was Generalissimo Chlang Kai-Shek’s elder son, Chiang Chung-Kuo, special commissioner for foreign affairs in Manchuria.) “We have driven 10,000 communist bandits out of Shanhaikwan and have taken the city,” said Gen. Tn Ll Ming. commander of the na tionalist forces assigned to take over Manchuria after withdrawal of Russian troops. He predicted the occupation ol Shanhaikwan, at the Gulf of Chih li end of the great wall, would make it unnecessary to attempt the coast of Manchuria, any amphibious operations along Bowles Sees Tax Advantage Delaying Textile Shipments WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 -(/Pi Price Administrator Chester Bow les says there are “indications” that textile mills are holding up shipment of goods to take advan tage of the new tax law effective Jan. 1, 1946.
