NowBuildingNew Loading Facility North Carolina Pulp Company is constructing a new barge-loading facility near the Wilkerson Creek Bridge on the Inland Waterway to replace the company’s previous fa cility at Scranton, ii is announced. Company officials report that the Scranton Creek channel lead ing to the old installation was filled up by last year’s hurricanes to such an extent that it is no longer possible for their boats to navigate safely in and out of Scran ton Creek. The new facility is located on the west side of Highway 264 sev eral hundred feet south of Wilker son Creek drawbridge. Sufficient space has been cleared and built up so that a considerable quantity of pulpwood may be stored tem porarily at the site in the event a barge is not immediately avail able. At the old site there was little space available for unloading trucks in such cases. A suction dredge is now at work to cut the necessary channel, about 200 feet long, from the Wilkerson Creek canal to the rear of the new installation where a loading dock will be built.

Route Salesman Robbed of $150 In Cash, Checks Bert Bishop of Norman Furniture Company Vic timized by Negro Who Asked for Ride Bert Bishop, route salesman and collector for Norman Furniture Company here, was held up at gun point and robbed of about $150 in cash and checks last Fr;day night between Terra Ceia and Acre Station. Perpetrator of the crime was a small, 22-year-old Negro of the Terra Ceia section, Warren Collins, jr., who had been given a lift by Bishop. Collins, said to have a long police record, was picked up in a rented room on Third Street in Washington Saturday at 3 p. m. by Washington officers. Thos. F. Hopkins, manager of Norman Furniture Company, said Collins had very little of the] money on him when arrested and that the Negro claimed he had spent most of the haul. Collins waived preliminary hear ing at Washington Monday and was bound over to Beaufort County Superior Court. Bishop suffered a badly bruised face when struck by a wrench which Collins took from the truck while Bishop was in a house mak ing a collection. According to Hopkins, Bishop had stopped at a colored settle ment on his collection rounds and Collins asked for a ride. When Bishop told him he didn’t know him, Collins replied that he had been knowing the salesman a long time. Bishop then told him he was not headed for Plymouth, and left in the direction of Terra Ceia. On his return he stopped at a house to make a collection and Collins appeared and again requested a ride to Plymouth. It was then that Bishop told him to get in the truck. Bishop made one more stop and asked the Negro to go in wi'h him, but Collins declined and re sained in the truck. It was thet ..*at he took the wrench. Shortly after Bishop came bad , to the truck and started on the • way Collins showed the barrel oi a pistol protruding from under hi! ' coat and informed Bishop that il . was a stick-up. He demanded the . salesman’s wallet and the lattei . showed him that it contained onlj checks and valuable paper. Collins . took the wallet then forced Bishop hands raised, from the truck anc . searched him, taking currency frorr , one pocket and silver from anoth , er. He then told Bishop to get ir on the passenger side and Collins • got under the wheel. As Collins drove, Bishop reach . ed for the wrench which Collins j had already taken and it was ther L that the Negro struck Bishop. Col lins then asked the salesman if h< didn’t have a rope on the back oi the truck. Bishop replied in th< affirmative, Collins directed hin to get it and he then tied Bishop’s hands with the rope. , After driving from one side roac , to another apparently to confuse 1 the salesman, Collins left him tier . and dazed on a road about 10 mile: northeast of Washington. Bishop freed himself and noti fied Deputy Sheriff Floyd Lupton of Beaufort County, who, witl Deputies V. W. Gay and Jack Har | ris, launched the investigation. I Payment was stopped on the stolen checks. 1 Beaufort County officers report i ed that Collins had admitted the i robbery and assault to them. • -<s> Slates Appreciation for Gift of Television Sei i Johnny Harris, of Plymouth, wht : was given a television set foi i Christmas recently through the i kindness of his friends, this wee! - issued the following statement: s “I would like to take this op portunity to express my deepesi > appreciation to all the wonderfu ■ people who through their generosi s ty caused me to have the Merries! , Christmas ever.

This was shown Tuesday, when officials of the local firm received a congratulatory mes sage from J. P. Dixon, safety di rector of the Chesapeake Cor poration of Virginia, which op erates a large paper mill at West Point, Va. The text of Mr. Dixon’s tele gram is as follows: “I under stand that you have gone well over a million manhours without a disabling injury. Congratula tions to you, your supervision and the working force. Such a record can only be accomplished by a 100 per cent safety-minded organization.” The message was addressed to L. J. Darby, industrial relations manager, and Howard B. Gay lord, personnel manager, of the North Carolina Pulp Company, who arc in direct charge of the safety program here. Both of them said yesterday that they were not accepting any credit for the outstanding record, stat ing that it was due entirely to the interest and cooperation of the workmen themselves. Since the Virginia firm’s tele gram was delivered Tuesday, the local company has received up wards of a dozen similar con gratulatory messages, it was learned yesterday, from other pulp and paper mills ranging as far south as Palatka, Fla. Plan Study of School Building Needs1 A discussion concerning the use of some $180,000 now available to the county board of education fea tured the regular monthly meeting of that body here Monday. No de cision was made, however, and it was decided to hold a special meeting of the board Monday, Jan uary 24, which Architect Leslie N. Boney, of Wilmington, will be invited to attend. County Superintendent Roy F. Lowry stated that $64,422.69 of the county’s share of the first state bond issue of $25,000,000 remains unspent, while the county's share of the last $25,000,000 issue after deductions for selling the bonds amounts to $119,126.70.

J Seek Increased Peanut Acreage Allotments 1956 Joe Sugg, of Growers Asso ciation, Points to Short Supply of Quality Nuts For Edible Trade The 1956 peanut acreage allot ment must be increased in order that the producers of the Virginia type peanut might produce the re quirements of the consuming pub lic, announced Joe S. Sugg, execu tive secretary, North Carolina Pea nut Growers Association. The weather conditions in 1955, which were exceptionally good for some crops, were terrifically damaging to the North Carolina peanut crop, Mr. Sugg pointed out Now that the harvesting and mar keting is about completed, it is evident that there will be a tre mendous shortage in the Virginia type peanut required by the con sumers between now and the nexl 1956 marketing season. In fact, ac cording to Sugg, the shortage is st acute that the manufacturers o: products using the Virginia type peanuts have applied to the Tarif: Commission for authority to impor the large size peanut to fulfill theii needs. Mr. Sugg stated that hear ings have already been set ii Washington, at which time he am other officials of the North Care lina Peanut Gro Associatioi will petition the Depart hen: ti Agriculture for increase in the al lotment for 1956 in order tha ample supplies of the Virginia typ peanut will be produced to fulfil the consumers’ requirements fo 1957. The weather conditions wer ideal in other sections of the cour try, with Spanish and Runner pet nuts being produced in surplu quantities, according to Sugg; am unusual in North Carolina and Vii ginia to the extent that the to four grades were produced in at normally low percentages. The to four grades referred to are wha are commonly seen by the consun er in the salted bags and the roast ed in the shell bags. These canno be substituted by other types o peanuts, due to their superior siz< quality and flavor. Sugg indicated that the result of the Association’s activities i connection with the increase shoul , be known much earlier than las year and that any increase fortl coming should be announced coi ' siderably prior to planting time.
