The results have been more an pleasing. Of all those who ive been interviewed the answer inquiries has invariably been to e effect that the crop is the ist or one of the best that has er been produced in Brunswick i >unty. It appears certain that the lundage production is running 1 uch higher to the acreage. Uni- J rm stands appear to have been itained everywhere. The weed ( ew larger than usual and, still ore important, the cured leaves e of that heavy rich and Waxy xture that buyers class as good bacco. There is less of the light ashy stuff this year. Growers began the year under J heavy handicap'. Continuous ins during March and Early pril made it impossible to do , ly plowing until the actual J anting season was here. Comned with the late start there as a terrible shortage of the . :cessary labor. As a result of . lese handicaps the 1944 crop was oduoed only by the hardest and 1 ost continuous work that the . owers have every been called >on to put forth. hey Now Have Modern Hospital weflth Field Unit In France Has Taken Over Hospital Formerly Used By German Air Force The 12th Field Hospital Unit, i organization of which Dr. 1 aurice Rosenbaum, of Shallotte, a member, is now stationed at | port with harbor facilities, 'esumably Cherbourg, France, tie unit has been at St. Lo.

The story last week dealt with events during the month of December, 1943. At that time young Bragaw was still a Lieutenant. In an event oc curring the day before Christmas he was especially mentioned. Oddly enough, Lieutenant Bragaw wrote a friend in Southport on the day before Christmas, saying he hoped he would not have to fight on Christmas day. On Christmas day he was wounded, sent to a field hospital and remained there eight days receiving treatment. He rejoined his command as a Captair and a few days thereafter. cn the 22nd of January he waf killed while gallantly leading his command in storming a hill against GerFirst Furlough In 25 Months i itaff Sgt.

At a ime when many of the other tojacco markets in the Border Belt ieem to feel that they can not ender the service they have giv;n in the past Whiteville's expcri:nced warehousemen put their leads together and came up with istreamlined sales schedule that vill make the Whitevilie market' jetter than ever. Some of the varehousemen term this new schedule the most progressive step ;ver taken by this market. The new system is simple. iVhiteville has six warehouses and ill six will shell tobacco every day n the week Monday through Frilay. There will be four big mornng sales and two fine afternoon sales. All sales are guaranteed md all sales, will be completed by 1:155 P. M. every day. From the standpoint of convenience to the 'armer no system could be better, y farmer can now bring his tolacco to Whiteville any day he ikes and sell it on any warehouse 'loor he chooses. Whiteville's market, always one if the best in the Border Belt, will now be better than ever, ac:ording to M. B. Kibler, Jr., sales supervisor. Mr. Kibler further stated that from the standpoint of abor Whiteville's market seemed to be in just as good position as in the 1943 season and that IVhiteville was equipped to sell at least twice as much tobacco as last year. The new system will enible the Whiteville warehouses to move more tobacco faster than in the past. More Gas For Man On Fnrlminrh service Man On Leave May Now Get A Gallon A Day RALEIGH, July 25.?G.
