The Old Belt will open as scheduled on Monday and operate for five days during the week. Resumption of sales in other belts will be determined at a meeting of the Industry com mittee In Raleigh on the night of Sept. 27. The holiday was called upon recommendation of the Bright Belt WareKousV ^Association Executive Committee, which pointed out that without a sus pension in sales, marketing volume next week might reach 125 million pounds, far above the industry's processing ca pacity.

HELENS, Ore. - A well-dented utility pole was relocated Wednesday near here. On Monday, a truck rounding a corner struck the pole, cut ting power for about 120 cus tomers of Pacific Northwest Bell Telephone. The next day another truck hit the same pole. While a crew repaired the damage again, a third truck smacked Into the pole. Water from the temporary tank installed this week will be turned Into the town's water mains today (Friday), Mayor W. A. Miles said yesterday. Mayor Miles said that the tank had been washed out, fill ed twice, and the water test was perfect. He said that the tank would be refilled and the compressor installed today with water being turned into the mains Friday. The compression tank, leased by the commissioners, is intended to serve Warrenton until a permanent tanK can De erected on the Warren Fair Grounds-The Fair directors have approved a long lease to the town at a cost of $100 a year plus free water for the fair each fall It will be several months before the permanent tank, expected to be of 150,000 gal lon capacity can be erected, as specifications must be worked out by town engineers before steps can be taken to call a bond issue. The pre paration for a bond issue is a rather long drawn out af fair, with many technicalities involved. The town commis sioners have already forward ed an application to the Eco nomics Development Admin istration, U. S. Department of Commerce, asking that a fed eral grant be made to eover part of the cost of a new tank. Since the disastrous fire here on August 22 when the town's water tank buckled from the heat generated in the large warehouseflre, town pumps have had to run around the clock to maintain water pressure in the mains. They have been highly successful in maintaining pressure and cus tomers would never know that the town did not have a stor age tank, but the pumps need a rest. The compression tank will serve to relieve the pumps from constant pumping and should provide enough water for an ordinary fire, but not such a one that threatened the possible destruction of much of the business section of the town in August. With this In mind the commission ers are making every effort to have the permanent tank erected as soon as possible. MORUNA CHEERLEADERS?Chaarlsader * Norllna Hifh School this vwife tor ptcturss.
