*sy.:Yy\ - ■V" Wv. ‘ - m t Jrm*. __ -J " QapM SqJJuVm By LYNN NISBET RALEIGH CORRESPONDENT BLUE 800K —Current edition of the “Blue Book of Southern Pro press,” annual publication of the Manufacturers’ Record, contains some highly interesting and perhaps surprising data, 'f'ite Blue Book is more liberal in defining the South than some authorities. It includes the District of Columbia and the following 16 states; Alabama, Ark kansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, «m Missouri, North Carolina, Okla u homa, -South Carolina. Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virgin ia. This list adds Missouri to the group comprising the Southern Governors’ Conference, and there has long been question about pro priety of classing West Virginia as a “Southern” state. HIGH RANK—In almost every tabulation North Carolina ranks Overy high, and if it were not for Texas we would really shine. In consideration of comparative fig ures for 1960 herewith presented it should be remembered that Texas is just about five times as big as North Carolina in area, almost double in population. North Car olina ranks first in tobacco manu facturing with 45 per cent of the Southern total; first in textiles with 33 per cent of the Southern total, and first in furniture with 25 per cent of the Southern total. It is Q second only to Texas In all manu factures, in lumber and in pro duction of electric power. In total business volume, including all phas es of economics, and in agriculture it yields second place to Missouri (Texas holding first) but is still far ahead of any other Southern state and without peradventure of question leads the Southeast. In total business volume Texas re ports 35 billion dollars, Missouri 21 billion, North Carolina 13% billion, l ' followed by Georgia and* Tennessee with over 11 billion each. In farm ing Texas claims two and a quar ter billion, Missouri a little over one billion, while North Carolina falls just short of the billion mark, fol lowed by Kentucky and Georgia with less than two thirds of a billion. MANUFACTURING—In all typte of manufacturing last year North , i CarXk values of v over five billion dollars, taking sec ond place. The other four leading stages were Texas with nearly eight m JjLp half price sale! ■L save on dainty I ’ TOSS^V -j jM 4 Ml Igafcagwy wf »Vt»J Guard your charm and sweetness !■ “ l? with this delightfully fragrant cream I I deodorant It banishes perspiration odor, checks perspiration moisture. yH Gives you enactive protection tor mmmm*mmmmmmmm flitt Tlmv C.T*nm Deodorant now!

SURPRISING Textiles retain top rank with more than 40 per cent of the State’s total manufac tured values, and tobacco holds sec ond rank with about 20 per cent of total value. Reduced to dollars and cents last year's North Carolina textiles were worth $2,282,000,000 and tobacco products were valued at $1,023,000,000. Then begins some of the surprising elements. Food processing takes third rank with $365,000,000 and in the non-durable class chemicals come next with $248,000,000, displacing furniture in the overall picture. Lumber and furniture are in the so called dur ables list, with respective values Os 254 and 210 million dollars. Guess what’s next? Bet you were wrong. It is paper manufacture to the time of $182,000,000 followed by apparel at $104,000,000. Printing comes In for 53 millions, and—be [ lieve it or not—leather hits the mark at 27 millions and rubber at five millions. PLANTS—The Blue Book tabula tion shows 3,106 plants employing 320,000 people producing nondur able goods in North Carolina, and 3,469 plants employing 103,000 people producing durables. That adds up to 423,000 people working in 6,575 manufacturing plants having an appraised value of $648,000,000 and producing goods worth $5,031,000,000 last year. These plants included 2,276 lumber mostly relatively small saw-mills—and 1,140 textile mills. There were 899 food pro cessing plants, 458 print shops and 455 furniture factories. Here may be another surprise: There were 57 product plants, 25 leather and 14 rubber. POWER One of the most surprising items in the Blue Book data is that North Carolina ranks second to Texas in production of electric power. Last year Texas generated 17,441,000,000 kilowatt hours of electric energy, while North Carolina produced 12,334,- 000,000 KWH. In order came Al abama with 10,969,000,000; Ten nessee with 10,080,000,000 and West Virginia with 10,750,000,000. In 1939 North Carolina ranked fourth in power production. That year Alabama led, followed by Texas, West Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland in that order. The order for the top five states now is Texas, North Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and West Virginia. It is further occasion for pride in North Carolina that this State other Southern state exoept Miss issippi—which produces only about one-tlghth as much. While South ■ftUr tlr ; r * ■ Required To Get Permits Announcement has been re ceived by Charlotte's Office qf Price Stabilisation of a forthcom ing change in procedure for put ting livestock slaughter quotas in to ieffect April 1 under the OPS meat distribution program, Dir ector Ben E. Douglas revealed last night. ;> , During April, the notice from Washington aaW. of cattle will be/ permitted to slaugh ter no more pf these animals than their April, 1960 accounting per iods. There will be no quota re strictions, however, for calves, sheep, lambs and swine during April. , >' ’ Slaughter quotas for all types of livestock were to have gone into effect ft April under the riginal regulation which was issued last February 9. Mr. Douglas' staff was informed and slaughterers were required to apply for registration by Match 15 Because of delay In obtaining forms and due to other adminis trative difficulties, however, OPS officials declared, it has not been possible for all such slaughterers to apply for or receive their regis tration numbers. If a slaughterer has not filed an application for registration or received his regis tration number by April 15, how ever, he may not slaughter live stock after that date, the Wash ington announcement said. OPS officials emphasized the fact that forms now are available in all OPS field offices and it is the responsibility of the slaugh terer to see that he obtains the proper forms in time to make his application. Charlotte OPS has been informed that these needed forms may be obtained from the Richmond. Va., regional OPS of fice. In restricting cattle slaughters during April, Mr. Douglas said the order revealed that a Class two slaughterer who receives an adjust ment from OPS covering his April 1950, slaughter of cattle may use this quantity as his April, 1951, quota. A Class one slaughterer wha re ceives an adjustment from OPS for the April-June quarter for cattle Carolina was actually slipping back, Alabama, Virginia and Ten nessee showing relatively small gains. North Carolina increased power production In 1950 more than 22 per cent 10 billion to 12 and a third billion kilowatt hours. Mississippi’s increase from less than a billion to more than a billion and a half was quich greater In per centage but lass in total energy griped., North Carolina’s power than doubled - within the past five years, while nationwide increase was a little less than 75 /psr cent.

He has not changed his position like others on the question of the City Manager Form of Government.

As Mayor of Dunn, HERMAN NEIGHBORS would see to it that the City Manager Form of Government is operated as it should be.
