GIVING RED GROSS A HAND A hand of tobacco, that is. That is just what James E. Byrd is doing
in this picture. He is shown presenting a hand of tobacco from the leaf he had brought to the Dunn
Tobacco Market to sell to Mrs. Grace Swain, Executive-Secretary of the Dunn Erwin Chapter of the
American Red Cross. With the assistance of buyers and warehousemen, Mrs. Swain is using this novel
means of collecting funds to make up the deficit in Chapter funds this year. (Daily Record photo by

Mrs. Grace Swain, energetic
- secretaxv of JJae
Ounn-Ei Win Chapter of the
American Red Cross. Now,
however, she can use them
with all the authority of an
old tobaccs> warehouse hand.
The reason for this is that the
Dunn-Erwln Chapter is now on the
Dunn Tobacco Market. Mrs. Swain
solicits contributions in the form
of a “hand” of tobacco, does her
own grading, and sells the leaf
collected to raise funds for the
Chapter.
At a recent, meeting of the Chap
ter’s executive board, it was re
vealed that Chapter funds were so
short that it would be necessary to
drastically curtail some of the ser
vices of the Chapter in order to
make what funds were on hand
last through the year.
WAREHOUSEMEN HELP
Buck Currin, Dick Owen and oth
ers on the market got their heads
together and came up with a plan
to raise enough on the market so
that the Chaoter could weather
the financial storm. They sugges
ted that Mrs. Swain arrange for
contributions in the form of leaf,
which could then be sold at the
regular sales.
However, there was one hitch.
In order to sell tobacco, the seller
must have a sales card from the
Production and Marketing Admin
istration. .No sales can be made
without such a card. Since Mrs.
Swain is not in the farming bus
iness, and had no tobacco allot
ment, she had no card.
However, when the arrangement
was explained to the proper auth
orities, the PMA issued a special
permit, allowing the tobacco to be
sold on the Dunn market.

Dunn Jury Convicts Driver
The first trial by jury in
Dunn Recorder’s Court since
Judge H. Paul Strickland
discontinued such trials be
cause juries were finding too
many defendants not guilty,
proved the judge’s premise
that Dunn juries would not
convict wrong, when a four
man jury returned a guilty
verdict.
The defendant, Robie Stanley,
was arrested on this charge on
September 14th by Corporal Rom
mie Williamson of the Highway
Patrol.
The officer testified that he was
driving north of Highway 301, north
of Dunn at about 6:00 p. m. on
j that night, when he observed an
automobile, travelling south which
was proceeding slowly and weaving
from one side of the road to the
other.
The car had backed traffic up
for some distance, the officer said,
and as soon as he could, he swung
around to investigate. When he
stopped the driver, whom he iden
tified as Stanley, he found him
under the influence of liquor, with
a strong odor of alcohol on his
breath.

Many Cross Line
To Support Ike
WASHINGTON (IP) Dwight D. Eiesnhower holds a
lead over Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson in at least one respect.
He has had more success in luring big-name politicians
to cross party lines and come to his support in the presi
dential race.
Three Democratic governors
James B. Byrnes of South Caro
lina, Robert F. Kennon of Louisi
ana and Allan Shivers of Texas—
have announced that they will
scratch Stevenson and vote for
Eisenhower in the Nov. 4 election.
The Democratic senatorial nomi
nee from Texas. Price Daniel, also
is supporting Eisenhower. Daniel
introduced the former five -star
general when Eisenhower spoke in
Houston Tuesday.
Stevenson has had no such luck
in wooing prominent Republican
politicians, although his headquar
ters announced a few days ago
that many prominent independent
voters were switching from Eisen
hower to Stevenson.
