Kids Vote Monkeyshines Chief Accident Cause Why do teen agers figure in more auto accidents than any other age group? Inexperience? Carelessness? In co operation with leading high schools the Chevrolet Motor Division sought the answer from the youngsters them selves. By wide margins some 10,000 students voted speeding and clowning as their worst driving sins. She nanigans like the one in the Chevrolet cabriolet abov* are an illustration. Look, Ma, no handsf Ker-r-rashl TREMENDOUS GAIN 1 lAMllllllJKO luCO r*a*>- 1) her daughters have already cann ed a large number of foods but as she puts it, "We've just be gun." In an ordinary year they will can over 500 quarts. j She says she and the girls have to work hard to keep up with J Mr. Lennon's slogan., "a meal without meat is a meal incom plete." The family garden is super- J vised by Mrs. Lennon and con- [ tains at least fifteen or sixteen1 different vegetables. "Everytime | I run across a new vegetable I1 add it to our garden. We've learned to like spinach and car-' rots. Eggplant and squash are other favorites." , ( They take advantage of stor-1 | age space in one of the nearby freezer lockers but soon will pur chase a home freezer for con venience. | Mr. Lennon has other interests 'as well as his farm. He has ser jved two years on the county i board of education and is super intendent, a deacon and treasurer of the near by Lennon's X Roads Missionary Baftist Church. He is I a former director and past J>resi 'dent of the Brunswick RE A. j I was interested to know how 'far back the name Lenon's Xj i Roads originated. Mr. Lennon said j he didn't know but he thought it ;first was called that before the! Baptist O.urch was established i in. 1800. The Lennon family has | been in Columbus County for many years and part of the pro perty he now owns originally be longed to his parents. Eula Ruth Lennon,. who is six teen and will be a junior at Evergreen High School this year, won the county Senior 4-H Dress Revue held at Whiteville in June along with Sybil, 1*, who copped J top honors in the junior contest. The former who had come out first in the junior revue in 1946 also received a medal for the j best record among 4-H girls of J the county. She was secretary I of the Evergreen Club this year and is past president of both the FOR Quality Service i Satisfaction SHOP AT ROS EC 5 -10 - 25c Stores Whiteville, N. G. H. B.

Foye is a thirteen-year-old stu 'dent in the eighth who is just, I getting started in 4-H work. She j [hopes to follow in the footsteps | of her sisters who have taken' I so many honors in that field. Lynwood, 20, is a veteran of the recent World War and last i year studied at Mars Hill Ool-j lege. He will transfer to Wake 1 Forest this session for his final two years work in Science. And finally there are the youngest two members of the family. Bernard, 9, will be in thej fourth grade and Max, 7, has I reached the third grade. To summarize, I found a friend-j ly family and one that despite its modesty, is deserving of re cognition. The Lennons are a church-going 'family. They are leaders in civic | and community affairs. They are ' school-minded. And they operate !a well-rounded farm. [ The Lennon enterprise?farming on this scale is certainly big business?is loud-talking evidence that it pays to keep the eggs out of one basket. Instead of depend ing upe?, one crop such as tobacco i they have varied their interests so that year-round work and a year-round income are provided for them and their tenants. , And here I found the essential to success, on a farm or any j where else?the willingness to work. | I went out to the Lennon farm with the recollection that they were recently named the "Farm Family of the Week." I left with the feeling that at Lennon's Cross Roads lives the "Farm Family of the Year". CHADBOURN AREA. (Continued from page J) with this large acrSbge, farmers are contemplating planting more next year. The marketing of strawberries in the past has been done through the Chadbourn Market ing Co., headed by C. L. Tate, vice-president and director of the Waccamaw Bank and Trust Co., However, it is the desire of Mr. Tate that the Chadbourn Cham ber of Commerce take over the operation of the marketing com pany in order that a larger mar can be built up and that other types of produce can be offered for sale at auction. It is under stood that the Chamber of Com merce is very receptive to this offer in that they feel that a year round produce market can | be built up to a very large scale. ! approvlmately 45 thousand dollars ( I were paid to the farmers for j ! beries. This was the second lar- j I gest amount paid in the state. 1 Next year, it is anticipated that J 1125 thousand dollars will be paid j for berries on the Chadbourn mar- j Iket due to the large increase in' acreage. Beginning in early spring and | lasting through the year, a large) sum of money is paid out to farmers for pulp wood. Each <Jay, | several carloads of pulp wood' leave Chadbourn bound for the i various paper mills. Also paying j a good amount of money to the1 farmers is the Chadbourn Veneer 'Co., which buys veneer logs The local veneer mill processes these | logs and sells the finished pro duct to other plywood manufac turers for the making of ply board. This year, there will be in op eration in Chadbourn, one of the most modern cotton gins In Col umbus county and the surround ing area. The Peal Ginning Com pany of Chadbourn is building a new gin here that will handle both mechanically picked and hand-picked cotton. This gin should go a long way in estab lishing Chadbourn as a leading cotton market. The potato market of Chad bourn. both the irish and sweet, is another very valuable asset to the town. Each year the Chad bourn Potato Storage Co. buys thousands of bushels of sweet and irish potatoes for shipment all over the country. When one rides through the fertile soil of the Chadbourn area one dannot help but notice the many prosperous farms. It is a small wonder but it is true be cause in the town of Chadbourn, the farmers have one of the best j farm markets on the Eastern Seaboard. Just for comparison, ' during the fiscal year of July [1947 to July 1048, approximately 3,500,000 dollars of farm pro ducts were sold In Chad bourn. This year the total values of farm products sold on the Chad bourn market is expected to reach the 4,500,000 dollar mark. JOHNSON LOOKS i Continued Fnm rage One I than 500 years. This fact alone he offers his tobacco for sale on the floors of the Chad bourn mar ket, he has placed it in the hands of capable people and will re ceive the. highest price obtain able. J With a steady stream of the i golden weed pouring into the mar kets during the next month and a half, there will be a constant outgo of dollars to the farmers for payment for the many hours j that they have toiled to make a1 fine crop. Chadbourn confidently awaits J the opening of the market and looks forward to another banner year, despite the cut in acreage. Chamber Of Commerce (Continued from page one) I the medium of the Chamber of j Commerce. However, if the cham-j ber is to attain their goals, theni it Is the responsibility of each1 I individual, firm, business house, and- corporation to support the Chamber of Commerce. We in Chadbourn want at least two new industries in Chadbourn by 1950. J I know that the people are in-' terested and will get them." W. L. Albright is president of the Chamber of Commerce,1 Frank T. Wooten, vice-president,1 and Miss Annie Neal Spivey, treasurer. DUE IN CUBA SOON Willie/i E. Buffkin, seaman,' USN, son of Edgar H.
