Robin Baucom and Mrs. Mildred Huskins among the farming families of Randolph is producing encouraging results despite the setbacks administered by the drought. A canning program put on by Mrs. Huskins is meeting with a favorable response from the wo men. They have finished canning berries, and are now busy with cucumbers, beets, squash, and snap beans. They will soon start on tomatoes, greens, corn and soup mixtures. Mrs. Huskins is urging that everything available be canned so that nothing will go to waste.

Mr. Baucom’s program ha> settled down to the routine of ad vising and supervising the farm ers while their crops are growing. Though routine, this work is very important, as the crops need closer supervision now than at any other season. He says that crops are almost normal, having made a wonderful recovery after the dry weather. The first primings of the tobacco crop were taken olf this week. The biggest difficulty the pro gram had to face was the curtail ment of the acreage of the tobacco, cotton and corn crops because of the drought. Just what effect this will have on the work as a whole remains to be seen at the end of the year. Much depends on the weather from now on. Nevertheless Mr. Baucom said that “as a whole rehabilitation farmers are in good spirit, and considering the handi caps in the form of adverse weather are going ahead cheer fully.” A project which Mr. Baucom is eager to bring about is to have (Please, turn to Page 5) The Courier Installs Modern Printing Press; Operating This Week The past two weeks has been a busy time at The ('ourier office, with the installation of new machinery, carpenters, concrete workers, electricians, and an expert mechanic front the factory. The reason for this whirl has been the installation of it new, model A Duplex printing press, upon which this issue of The Courier is printed. Realizing that modern business calls for modern methods, The Courier has looked ahead in the purchase of this press which is one of the most modern pieces of new machinery obtainable. This new press has been installed in the hack of the office and replaces the old Babcock press which is s$J located in a basement of the law building. The new press has been installed over a concrete pit, which is large enough for the pressman to enter to make necessary adjust ments on the machinery. The press weighs approximately nine ton’s and required a whole freight car to bring it from the Duplex factory at Hattie Creek, Mich. One of the'largest eastings alone, weighs more than a ton, re quiring a half dozen men to assist in tlie handling of the press. II. S. Warner, an experienced erector from the Duplex printing press factory at Battle Creek, ha been in Ashei>(,ro since the day the Asheboro Folk In Auto Accident At Laurinburg Sunda\ Throe Asheboro residents were painfully injured and two others suffered minor injuries in an auto mobile accident near Laurie bur , late Sunday.

Herman Craven, the driver, was lacerated about the face, and Heniy Rogers was shaken up. The accident occurred when the car struck a depressed spot in the road which was filled with water and skidded into a deep ditch at the side of the road. The car re mained upright, but was almost a total wreck from the impact. Mr. Rogers returned to Ashe boro Sunday night. The others re mained in the hospital in Laurie burg until Monday night, whet, they were brought here in two ambulances from the 1’ugh Funeral home. They are now at home with the exception of Miss Humble, who is in the Randolph hospital, and all arc doing well. Fire Company Is Called Out When Car Ignites Monday The Asheboro volunteer fire de parturient was called out at about 10:20 Monday night to put out a fire in a car belonging to H. H. Thompson of Asheboro. The lire is believed to have boon caused hv a short circuit in the wiring of th? car, a 1028 Chevrolet. It started just as Mr. Thompson, who was driving, turned into Sumner street ! from W. Salisbury, at the J. P. Ross company’s excelsior plant. I With Mr. Thompson in the car were his wife, their three children, ( his brother-in-law, and the latter s | wife. None of the occupants was | hurt. All the wiring under the hood ! was burned out, the paint damaged, and the windshield blackened by | the flames. | press arrived and is remaining for | another week, teaching a member j of Tile Courier stall’ to operate t11i modern piece of machinery. The ! press prints three thousand or more peters an hour, tui in:; and folding them by machhievy him cad of by ham1 and with a >-pai,ite fold"f, ;is formerly with the ol lei meth> h In addition to the actual print ing of the newspaper, the press has an extra color arrangement which is an asset to ,p b work, and The Conner's job department is a very vital part of the business. This will enable, large circular jobs in colors to be turned out from this office. In the march of modern machin ery and properly equipped busi ness concerns to meet the needs of patrons, The Courier has not only provided for the present needs, hut has looked ahead many years in the purchase of this press. An article concerning our own advancement would not close fittingly without an expression of appreciation to each subscriber, advertiser and patron ot any des cription of The Courier's, whose friendship and business through the sixty years has enabled this present forward step on our part, which was a sincere ellort to serve our friends.
