Second Week For
Market Expected To
Be More Stabilized
Etheridge Has
Plan To Widen
Market Service
Raleigh, September.—Randal B.
Etheridge, head of the Markets div
ision of the State Department of
Agriculture has announced plans for
broadening this division’s services by
placing marketing specialists in ev
ery section of N.orth Carolina, em
ploying additional processing and
sales promotional specialists in. the
Raleigh office, and by setting in
motion far-reaching projects in
grading demonstrations, cold stor
age and processing developments,
standardization of grades, determ
ination of consumer preferences, and
the establishment of a State label
for commodities grown by North
Carolina farmers.
Etheridge contemplates the even
tual employment of 15 additional
assistants to carry out the various
portions of marketing program.
Pointing out that six groups are
now interested in the construction of
quick-freezing plants in this State,
Etheridge said that there is "prob
ably a sound basis for the estab
lishment of from two to four of
these plants," explaining that ad
vice will be given in their construc
tion and operation.
"We shall investigate and explore
the field of frozen foods and will
bring to the attention of Interested
parties possibilities in this line at
strategic points in this State,” said
Etheridge.
H.e added that this field is in its
infancy, and oan be greatly ex
panded with improvements in” re
frigerated transportation, retail cab
inets, home freezer units, and freez
er locker service.
Expressing the opinion that can
ning facilities in North Carolina are
inadequate, he declared that those
now in use can be operated to a
more economical advantage, and he
made it clear that small vocational
canneries situated at advantageous
points should be enlarged and more
fully utilized.

Over Million Pounds Sold In
Roxboro First Week. Sales
Again Tomorrow.
Having sold a million, three hun
dred and fifty thousand pounds of
tobacco last week at an average of
$41.69, with most of the weed thus
sold at a common grade, the Rox
boro market opens again tomorrow
with expectation of an improvement
in both quality and price as well as
quantity, it was revealed today.
Greatest number of pounds sold
last week was on Friday, when the
total was 315,000 pounds at an av
erage of around s4l and over, while
best price average occurred on Tues
day, the opening day. at $43.27, ac
cording to official figures.
Tt will be recalled, however, that
the selling week iasi year was five
days, whereas this year it is only
four. This means that probably more
tobacco in pounds were sold here
during last year's opening week, al
though the price average is believ
ed to be better this year, and not
withstanding the medium to fair
and poor grades which predominat
ed last week.
Houses are filling up again in
preparation for tomorrow’s starting
'of the second week, and according
|to officials, a more consistent gen
eral average is looked for to offset
the after opening slump of the first
week. Conditions on the Roxboro
market last week, it is pointed out,
were paralleled all over the Old Belt
market.
o
Kudzu Showing
Expected To Be
Weil Attended
■ The kudzu mowing demonstrate>n
| announced last Thursday will be
! held Wednesday of this week at
2:00 o’clock on the Sam Green
farm, one and one-half miles north
of McGhees Mill. With favorable
weather conditions the demonstra
tion will be well attended says J. Ft.
I Adair, local Soil Conservationist.
1 One of the reasons for the in
creasing interest in this kudzu plant
is because there are a number of
(farmers in Person County that have
a small acreage already established,
and there are many other coopera
tors with the Dan River Soil Con
servation district who plan to get
kudzu established on their farms,
on land generally unsuitable and
unproductive for other crops. Not
only is this plant an execllent soil
conserving and soil building plant
but it is also a good grazing plant
for livestock and makes an excellent
hay equivalent to alfalfa in food
value.
These farmers are interested to
know how to take care of and han
dle kudzu for hay* Many are plan
ning to attend the demonstration
“to see and learn" for themselves.
The public is cordially invited to
attend.

-■ Ala*Uf *7he Way
I deeply resent what was said lust week about me not knowing the
pastor of my church. Os course I will admit that I am not as close to
him as f should be but I do know him—slightly. I have been a mem
ber of Long Memorial for about 32 years and as anyone can see that is
about what my age is. On the other hand being a member does not
mean that I know my pastor but Brother Martin and I have been on
speaking to each other every day for a long time.
However there is more to the story and that is the part that made
me mad. A few days after the picture was run I met my pastor on
the street and he walked up to me and said. "My name is Martin, I
preach down at Long Memorial church and I would like for you to
come down and hear me sometime".

Annual Press
Meeting Held,
Daniels Speaks
.Introduction Os Daniels By
Editor Os Courier-Times,
x
i
"The press of North Carolina to
day is held in higher esteem by the i
i people than ever before, and the j
reason is because it united in de
nouncing the corrupt election prac
tices in Davidson County." declared
Josephus Daniels in a vigorous ad
dress Friday at the luncheon session
!of the 73rd annual convention of
, the North Carolina Press Associa
tion at the Hotel Carolina in Ra
leigh.
j "Although nothing has happened,
Iwe must keep agitating," the vet
eran editor of The News and Ob
server declared. "We will have fail
ed out highest cause if we cease
denouncing this practice, a practice
that pisons democracy at its very
source.
Introduction of Mr. Daniels was
by J W. Noeil, of Roxboro, editor
of tlie Courier-Times, who was ac
companied to Raleigh by his grand
daughter, Miss Betty Gay Masten.
Mr. Noell, paying tribute to his
“longtime friend, a friend of more
than fifty years standing”, said that
Mr Daniels, except during his time
of service as Secretary of the Navy j
and ambassador, has spent the bet
ter part of; his more than four-score
years within a radius of one hun
dred miles of the place of his birth.
Tribute was also paid to Mr. Daniels
as an editor with a vigorous, cru
sading spirit,
The installation of officers and an
address by Dr. George D. Heaton
of Charlotte, pastor of the Myers
Park Baptist Church, featured a
dinner at the. Sir Walter ending the
73rd annual convention of the North
Carolina Press Association.
The officers elected: Harvey Las- i
soon of Elkin, president; Mrs. Eliza
beth Geld Swindell of Wilson, vice
president: Beatrice Cobb of Morgan-!
ton, secretary-treasurer; and Clar
ence Griffin of Forest City, histor
ian.

committee are President Laffoon, i
chairman; Dr. Julian Miller of
Charlotte; Ollie McQuage of Mocks,
ville; Frank Dani*k of Raleigh; Toni
Lassiter of Smighfteld; Mrs. Swin
dell; P. T. Hines gfrGreensboro; and
E. A. Resell of SilCr City. Miss Cobb
will serve as secretary of the com
mittee.
"The Responsibility of Anyone
who Proposes to Disseminate News
and Interpret it” was the title of
Dr. Heaton’s address.
Dr. Keaton enumerated three qual
ities needed by editors in the post
war era. “Anyone who proposes to
fill the role of editor today must do
liis work with adequate philosophy
of history." Dr. Heaton said. "It
isn't enough to describe what the
actors are doing and saying or to
describe the scenery. One must in
terpret what is being done and said
with some knowledge of the plot."
At the meeting Friday afternoon,
a resolution was passed protesting
the proposed drastic increased rates
on second class postal matter and
calling the North Carolina Congre
gational delegation’s attention to
the association’s opposition. The
proposed increase has not yet been
formulated into a bill, the matter
now being in the discussion stage.
Another resolution was passed
calling for the publication of a his-
Jtory of newspapers in North Caro

of the association. The incoming
