Person farmers
Start Curing
Several farmers of this county
have started curing their tobacco.
! Not all have started but some pulled
their first barn this week and the
fires arc now burning brightly in
the flues. It is yet too early to tell
how everything will turn out but
everything being considered there
seems to be no reason why the to
bacco should not cure well.
The tobacco crop over the county
looks good. Os course the growers
have had all the wet weather thev
want for a while but so far the crop
does not appear to be damaged to
any extent to speak of.
There has also been considerable
wind during some of the recent
storms and quite a few have had to
go into the wet fields and pull up
the tobacco that was blown down.
That also appears to be undamaged.
Generally speaking farmers are
jather optimistic over the crop. At
one time they were afraid of the
dry weather and then came a little
more rain than had been bargain
ed for. Now the dry weather and
the rain have both gone and chances
for a good crop appear to be excel
lent.
Many Roxboro tobacconists left
this week for the Border Belt to
bacco openings' where they will be
until the markets open in this sec
tion of the state. Some are also in
Georgia and will return to this
state when that market closes.

Dr. McClelland, who is president

: “You’ve heard that self-preserva

not true. Those who seek im
mortality are the ones who give
lives—not ones who want to save
lives.
“We're 'living in an unusual pe

was introduced by Capt. A. C. Bar

OPA Panel Members. To Say
Nothing Os Dealers, Per
plexed By Problems.
Fuel shortage threats, both In
coal and oil and possibly wood, are
greatly worrying OPA fuel panel
men in Roxboro, to say nothing of
dealers in coal and wood, it was re
vealed here yesterday by D. W.
Ledbetter of tile OPA fuel oil panel,
other members of which are J. D.
Mungum and G. I. Prillaman.
Conference on the fuel oil sit
uation held with Miss Virginia
Brandon, of tlie OPA staff, re
veals that there is real reason to
believe that fuel oil will be short,
although persons now registered for
oil may possibly get as much a 5
they received last year. Rub in the
whole problem, according to Miss
Brandon, is the inter-relationships
between fuel oil and coal and Wood
shortages, plus the reported fact
that only those citizens who bought
oil or coal last year are to be al
lowed to buy it this year.
Such an interpretation of the
ruling hits especially hard at resi
dents or families moved to this city
or county who have no records of
local buying of fuel supplies. In
cluded in those so affected are new
families of discharged veterans,
recently returned and recently mar
ried, although an AAA official said
today that lie expects some solu
tion will be found in the case of
returned service men.
Coal dealers here issued some
. two to three months ago consumer
declaration card.-; requiring resi
dents to sign if they expect to get
coal this winter. The number of
looms to be heated is required in- ,
formation on both the OPA oil
application forms and the Coal
Consumer declarations. R. H.
Gales and L. C. Clark, Roxboro coal
dealers join with the fuel oil panel
tiere in urging, residents to place
! fuel orders as soon as possible.
The Coal Dealers Consumer de
claration, issued under the direc
tion of tlie Department of Inter
ior's Solid Fuels administration,
reads in part, as follows:
"Your dealer is not required to de
liver any solid fuel to you unless,
in addition to this Consumer De
claration, you place an order with
turn.
"If you placed your Consumer
Declaration and an order before
May 15, 1945, with the dealer wh6
regularly supplied your house or
building with solid fuel last ycatj,
you are entitled to get, before Oc
tober 1, 1945, at least 30 percent
of your normal requirements if you
are ready, willing, and able to take
delivery of any usable solid fuel 00
I terms agreeable to you and the
dealer.
"If you place your Consumer De
claration and an order promptly
with the dealer who regularly sup
plied your house or building with
solid fuel last year, and if you
lake any usable solid fuel offered
by your dealer, he is obligated to
deliver your quota of solid fuel as
determined by the Solid Fuels Ad-7
ministration for War.
"There will not be nearly enough
soli# fuel to give you as much as '
I you ordinarily use. Generally a
; dealer is prohibited from delivering,
. and a consumer is prohibited from
receiving, during the period April
1, 1945 to March 31, 1946, mora
Ilian 80 percent of the consumer’s
normal annual requirements.
"The law forbids the filing of 4
Consumer Declaration wllh more
than one dealer unless the consum
er has customarily received solid
fuel for use from more than one
dealer during the year.”
