And here is the beginning of a newspaper designed to live and serve the peoples of all races and colors liv ing in the area surrounding Tabor City with special emphiasis upon Clumbus county, X. C. and Horry county, S. C. Here is a newspaper for you and your family. A newspaper planned for the whole age group making up our society, from the grammar grade student to the community's oldest mother. A newspaper with no political ob ligations, no pledges to any pressure groups, 110 motives other than honor able, and no plans contrary to the gen eral wishes of the people it serves. A newspaper pledged to do its ut most for the betterment of the churches, the schools, the communities and all or ganizations aimed at raising our living standard and our civilization. Yes, this is a little newspaper point ing out big objectives. Perhaps our sights are on the stars and we will hit only the chimney tops but we are on the way up. AVe will not lie dormant while a timely editorial might prompt some official into community action for the betterment of all. Perhaps we will make an enemy of a few individuals in doing so but at the same time, perhaps many others will be served. A\ e sav again, this is your news" paper. Make it .just that. Call en its editor when you are in town. Write it the news when you know it. And know the paper as a person, a friend, a ser vant—your friend, your servant, yes, your helper. Your efforts will be ap preciated. LETS PROMOTE SAFETY " Too much can not be said in prais ing the civic clubs in Tabor City and neighboring towns. One of the fore most tokens of a community 's desire to grew in character as well as physical ly burst into the limelight with hard working, conscientious civic clubs. It seems to us that one of the great est goals that the local groups should set their sights upon, is the increase in highway safety measures, thus in creasing protection for the citizenry. It is all but safe to be upon the high ways with current reckless drivers run ning rampant. The screech of tires atid brakes, the prolonged blowing of horns, and whiz of speeding traffic puts lif6 and limb in jeopardy. # The local Civitan club at a recent meeting set as one of its goals for the coming year, the increase in efforts to bring about greater safety in the area. It seems to us that all the organizations might do well to endorse this pledge. Soviet scientists have succeeded ill transplanting hearts into such warm blooded animals as dogs, cats and rab bits with no apparent ill effects to the subjects. Small, nonfarm owners present the toughest problem now facing foresters working to preserve the nation's wood lands TOBACCO CONTROL For years referendums have beeil held for one reason or another through out the United States bu t there probab ly has net been one held since their be ginning as ultra-important to the flue cured tobacco farmers as the one sched uled for Friday July 12. On that day, the farmers of this area will have an opportunity to tell Uncle Sam whether they Avant the gov I eminent to continue to control the to bacco crop, or cut loose completely with no strings attached. This referendum will have a direct bearing upon every tobacco farmer in this section, and it is every farmer's sacred duty to go to his community vot ing headquarters and cast a vote one way or another. At least 66 2-3 per cent of the farmers must vote to make this control bill effective. This newspaper does not believe in straddling fences. It believes in honest opinions expressing one view or the other, and as such it believes that it is to the advantage of every flue cured tobacco grower to vote for the govern ment control. But whether you favor or oppose I the bill, turn out July 12, and vote one way or the other. Here are our reasons for taking this stand: The two seasons preceed ing the inauguration of the control bill in 1933 gave the farmer only S.4c and 11.6c per pound, respectively, for Iiis tobacco. The 1933 crop jumped to 12.8c per pound and the 1934 crop to 22.6c. This seems indicative of the benefits the farmer has with Uncle Sam's hand in the pie. PEANUT INDUSTRY TURNS CORNER The Xation's peanut problem is a far cry from the problems of yesteryear. Today peanuts rank as one of the ten most valuable field crops in the U. S. Farmers have been selling their crop for more than one hundred and fifty million dollars a year. And of course a good many million dollars worth never go to market - they're used for seed and eaten by the people who produce them and by their livestock. But aside from what stays on the farm, the peanut growers have been realizing four times as much cash for their crop as they were getting before the war. The cash re turns in recent years have been ten times as much as in 1932. Between 1932 and the begiinning of the war, the improve ment was gradual. PUBLIC OPINION One of the most satisfactory re views of public opinion is found in the pells conducted by the American Insti tute of Public Opinion. Mr. Gallup re ports that 37 per cent of the veterans of the Avar are satisfied with the pro gress of the United Nations, and that 45 per cent are dissatisfied. The vote of the general public at large on the same question ties the percentage of the veterans, showing that 37 per cent of the public are satisfied. But 37 are dissatisfied. Eighteen per cent of the veterans and 26 per cent of the public at large are reported as having "no opinion". On the political front 41 per cent of the Democrats are satisfied and 36 per cent of the Republicans are of the same opinion. But 32 per cent of the Democrats and 43 per cent of the Republicans are dissatisfied. Now, dear reader - you can guess. RURAL ELECTRIFICATION Loans totaling $4,202,000 to 17 bor rowers, including 16 cooperatives and one public power district, in eleven states have been made by the REA. The funds will be used to finance electric power facilities, including" 2,S79 miles of dis tribution lines to provide electric ser vice tc 7,956 farms and other rural ser tablishments. Construction will proceed as rapdily as materials and manpower can be obtained. The borrowers receiv ing loans, the amount of the loan in each case, and the purpose for which loan funds were allocated was required to be stated by borrowers. The Texas jack rabbit has been clocked at a speed in excess of 45 miles ] an hour.

"DOM OF THOUGHT AND SPEECH THAT IS INHERENT IN OUR DEMOCRACY. OUR GREATEST NEED A speaker in Tabor City once re marked that "your town is growing in every way except culturally' and in that statement is a philosophy yes a kind of newsy editorial. Business in Tabor has multiplied and expanded, apparently unable to reach a peak. Some persons contend that "there is more business carried an in this town than in any other town of equal size in the United States." That might very well be true. Yet, the town lacks the cultural spark necessary for its future well being. That spark needs little to ignite. THE TRIBUNE believes that a public librai-y, more than any ether one thing, has the power of broadening the community culturally Where there is business there is money and where there is money there is a way of building a munici pal, public library. This town is in dire need of that library. THE TRIBUNE knows of no great er. service to this community that any public spirited citizen might perform than that of building such an insti» tution. NOTICE! The Tribune is mighty happy to open publication today in Tabor City. It is one more step, we think toward a greater and bet ter Tabor City area. There are a few points in con nection with the newspaper which we want to put across to the pub lic. We need subscribers and have to have them if this paper is to survive. We -intend to make ibis newspaper interesting enough that, everyone will want to subscribe. We believe that this will be done through cooperation of our news sources. We wish to invite any church, school, civic club or other com munity group that is interested in soliciting subscribers for a share of the receipts to contact the editor not later han July 10. .We wish to thank our advertisers for their fine cooperation in this first issue. And we also wish to advise our advertisers that all ad I copy must be in THE TRIBUNE office not later than 3:00 each Monday afternoon. Thank you.—The Editor. MILK IMPROVED FLIERS' VISION Schenectady, June— Canadian fliers during the war improved their vision by drinking milk, Kenneth P. Fee of Albany, director of the milk control division of the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, declared in a General Electric Farm Paper of the Air ad dress here over WGY. "Experiments conaucteG by the nutritional division of the Royal Canadian Air Force conclusively dem onstrated that the vision of their airmen could be materially improved by feeding them asubstanee known to scientists as riboflavin," Mr. Fee pointed out. "An adequate amount of this substance could not be furn ished without feeding milk. "As a result of the work of the nu tritional division, the amount of milk allowed per day per man was increased from a single ounce sup plied at the beginning of the war, first to 10 ounces and later to 24 ounces per day. The feeding of such amounts of milk to Canadian airmen Catch The Thief Frank Richburg, colored, was visiting in Charleston, S. C., re cently, leaving his house on Tabor, Route 2 empty. But today he wishes he had just forgotten about that visit. While Frank was away, some one decided they needed a few more sugar stamps and Frank's house looked inviting. So when Frank came home, he discovered the thievery - some one had swiped the ration books for his wife, his own, and nine kids. With the canning season here, Frank is concerned over the situ ation and not with out nine good causes. Derrick Speaks To Rotarians E. L. Derrick, superintendent of the Chadbourn schools was the prin cipal speaker at the June 24 meeting of the local Rotary club. Mr. Derrick spoke on the advant ages of playgrounds and general youth recreation. €. D. Raper Finds Tobacco Worms In Mollie Area Charles D. Raper, Columbus county farm agent, was looking over the tobacco situation in the Mollie area last week in connection with the al leged new king of tobacco worm which is working the crop this year. "I found 14 tobacco worms on one etalk of tobacco on Mr. Hinson's farm there. There is no doubt that they have tobacco worms and they are little different color perhaps from the ordinary worm but any usual stomach poison vrill kill them," Mr. Raper said. "Among the best types of stomach poisons which will take care of the kind of worms I saw are Cryolite and Krycide," Mr. Raper continued. was characterized as one of the big things done by the Medical Branch," Mr. Fee said.

YOUR FARM AGENT SAYS , (By Charles D. Raper) VACCINATE FOR POX The late hatched pullets as well as the early pullets, should be vac cinated for fowl pox. There is a tendency for many poultry producers to over look vaccinating the late hatched pullets. This neglect often costs heavily in lost egg production during the fall and winter. Be sure to vaccinate the pullets by the time they are 16 weeks old. It takes as much as 30 days after vaccination for the birds to become immune to pox. Pox vaccination may be done any time between 8 'and 16 weeks of age. It should be done early enough for the birds to get over it and have immunity establish ed before they start laying. An outbreak of pox as a result of neg lect to vaccinate the flock can easily cost enough in lost egg production to vaccinate the flock for 15 to 20 years. USE DDT TO CONTROL PLIES IN POULTRY HOUSE Spray the inside walls and ceil ing of the poultry Äöoses to control flies. One spraying usually lasts several weeks. PROVIDE ARTIFICIAL SHADE FC*»· PULLETS ON RANGE: If there is a natural twade on the range provide some shelters for the pullets. These shelters may be made by stiuchuig ieed bags over a frame, or by placing bushes on a frame. Keep the feed troughs and water founts in the *uade. Do not expose the feed to the sun, as it kills the vitamins. Temporary shade such as a vnelter is more satisfactory than trees, grape vines, buildings, ι etc. on account of diseases and para j sites. ..' ' WATCH EFFECTS OF NEW GRAIN ON THE FLOCK: When you start feeding new grain to the flock, start gradually by mix ing a little of the new grain with the old and gradually increase the proportion of new grain if no bad effects on the flock are noticed. Be sure the new grain is throughly dry before you start feeding it to the poultry. CHECK AGAIN FOR LICE AND MITES: Don't take chances with lice and mites. Check the birds often for lice and the roost for the mites during j hot weather. Better treat the roosts^ • for mites anyway to prevent them1 from getting a start even though they are not found on inspection. It is easier to prevent mite infesta tion than it is to eradicate an in festation. I · WATCH FOR LIMBERNECK: 1 Keep the' weeds mowed aipund the chicken lot, and keep watch for any signs of limberneck in the flock.j A dead rat, frog, or chicken in the weeds, or under the building may start an out break of limberneck at anytime. Be sure no feed gets wet, or o.ls where the chickens may get to it. GROW MORE CEFfEAL GRAIN FOR POULTRY. 11 Λ famous .-· AI 1. Morse' invem 9. At ι 13. Cry of Bacchatals 14. Operatic mmt 15.
