WITH THE EDITOR I started out to write an ap ology and on ond thought I wondered jusi :t an apology i ... Do you know" Took time out to see what Mr. Webster has to say on the subject ;nd here it is: 'apology: sonic-h -g said or writ ten in defense or justification of what appears to others to be wrong, or of what nay be liable to disapprobation." After reading this I decided I needed to write an expression of regret. Last week you readers did not receive your Times until several days later. This week some of you may aot receive it until Monday. It's the same old story, broken down and worn out machinery. We managed to get some kind of paper out last week. We hope this Issue is a little better, although much news h"3 been left out and a number of advertisements also, Mechanical conditions have im proved some and we hope to get going on schedule next week. In the past year it has been necessary to leave out a lot of good news and to drop some of our correspondents. Our Linotype machine was made in 1923 and is just simply worn out, beyond re pair. War conditions have made it impossible for us to do any thing about it. After two trips to Washington and New York, and thanks to our Congressman Gra ham Barden, we have succeeded in securing a top priority rating and the manufacturer has accept ed our order a new Model 31, Blue Streak Linotype Machine. It is now under construction and we hope in a few more weeks we will have the new machine and again can give you the service and the 1 amount of news you expect. We hope to add all our old corres pondents and get new ones in com munities that have not been rep resented. Ye Editor received an interest ing letter this week from a friend in Pennslyvania. He has just been released from service and has se cured a job teaching in the City schools of Philadelphia. He was born and raised in a Pennsylvania steel production city and should know some of the inside details of the present strikes as seen by a worker in the mill. The follow ing is an excerpt from his letter: "Now' that the steel strike is about over . . . however, don't be surprised if the steel companies don't strike again, because in the case of Bethlehem for example, .3 niI,AM Ua maM oca fro f T i. fT , ,l u AtA v, less now than they did before the ,. . ., A . strike because the strike ended their contracts which included bonuses, etc., and they are get ting no overtime.

Dr. Willis King, supervising fish biologist of the North Carolina Division of Game and Inland Fish eries reminded fishermen Monday that the shad and herring season in inland waters of coastal coun ties opens today, and runs through May the 10th. Fishing is restricted to Thurs day, Friday and Saturday of each week, during which time skim or gill nets with bars one and one half inches or larger may be used. Due to staggered manner of seasons and areas, John D. Find lay, commissioner of game and in land fisheries, has cautioned all sportsmen to check with divisional game protectors when in doubt about regulations in some particu lar section. Special rivers and creeks desig nated for fishing include Cape Fear River in Pender, Columbus, Bladen, Cumberland and Harnett counties; North East Cape Fear river below Hallsville; Waccamaw River in Brunswick and Columbus counties up to New Britain Bridge on highway 130. Fishing for shad and herring is already under way in the commer cial waters of Eastern North Caro lina. The shad, well-known as one of the most delicious of the food fish, range up to five pounds in weight. The male or "buck" shad is smaller and not quite so tasty, but usually offers the first catch I since he precedes the female in .t0r f,-r migration from salt water lor SDawnine purposes. The most abundant herring found in North Carolina is the alemife or branch herring. HOMES WANTED FOR TWO One colored boy, age 10, and one white boy, age 9.

DOUGLASS A serious shortage of fertilizer and fertilizer materials is threat-1 ened thiJ season. This v as the warning issued to day by Ralph Douglass, ice-President oi i he Smith-Douglass Co. "It will be nothing short of tra gic," said Mr. Douglass, "if the j corn production program sponsor ed by the North Carolina Experi ment Station and the Extension1 Service, and so ably directed by Dr. Baver, should be imperilcJ by this threatened shortage of sup plies." Mr. Douglass likteu uuee reas ons for the threatened shortage that is in direct contrast to pre dictions of plentiful supplies tore cast last November. First, the steel strike cut oli production of sulphate of ammon ia. Even with the strike ended, it will still be two weeks before nor mal production can be resumed and production lost over the six weeks period cannot be regained. In addition, production of nitro gen solutions has fallen behind ex pectations because of breakdowns in plant and inability to obtain repair parts while the steel strike was on. Second, there is the government p.)licy of shipping substantial ton nage of fertilizer materials to other countrios upon the theory that it's better to supply these countries with fertilizer with which to grow their own food than for us to grow the food and s-lip it to them. It's reported in trade circles that the first 11.000 tons of sulphate of ammonia pro duced following the steel strike will be shipped to China The third contributing factor. said Mr. Douglass, is the disturbed political condition in Chile that j has reduced shipments of nitrate ' of soda. Chile is also making heav ier shipments to other countries than before the war. "There seems logic," said Mr. Douglass, "in shipping fertilizers : v Inle ho was in ytivo military to other countries so they can service. The p.i: i , .oi: has remained grow their own food, but this pol- unfilled with ' .- io ' il ; ulies bo icy should be re-examined since , ing in charge since ho wont into it now appears certain that sup- . plies for our own agricultural needs are more critically snort than appeared the case when these commitments were made." The export and import of ferti lizer materials, he pointed out, has been taken out of the tiands of private business and is now ex clusively directed by the govern ment. In view of this, it becomes the responsibility ot government to see to it that the needs of our I jzor dealer, has purchased the own agricultural program are met.

Stokes, Kenansville Ferii HOLD ON TO RATION BOOK No. 4 - MORE SUGAR STAMPS Housewives were auvised today by the OPA to hold on to their War Ration Book No 4, now used only to obtain sugar. Although the currently valid sugar stamp 39 is the last stamp that is specifically labeled for the purchase of sugar, spare stamps will be designated as sugar stamps from time to time. For this reason, War Ration Book 4 should be re tained even after Sugar Stamp 39 has been used, OPA emphasized. Sugar Stamp 40 was used for the 1944 home canning program.

Van Stephens The School for the Deacons of the Eastern Baptist Association, conducted in the Warsaw Baptist Church, last Monday and Tuesday nights, February 25-26, was a great success from the standpoint of attendance, helpfulness, anl enjoyment. There were some one hundre 1 and fifty Deacons from thirty five of the churches of the Eastern Association attending the school. Besides, there were ten ordaine I Baptist ministers. Mr. M. A. Huggins, Genen.l Secretary of the Baptist State Convention, led the discussions i.i a most interesting manner. He em phasized the importance of the office of deaaons, as well as the important place, and duties which the deacons have in the church. He used the translation from the Greek language in a masterful, and most interesting way, and to the delight of his hearers. The ladies of the Baptist Church served delicious meals each even ing to all who attended. The meal was served between the two sess ions of the school. All in all, this was one of the most unusual, and one of the most helpful meetings ever held in the Eastern Association, according to those who attended. Other such schools will most likely be con ducted in many other associations in the State. WHY GET OUT ON A LIMB I All Risk Federal Crop Insurance Will Protect Your Farm Income Every year in every county some farmers lose crops because of bad weather or other natural causes. Many victims find them selves "out on a limb." Crop fail ure has sawed off the limb they had depended upon. Federal Crop Insurance can't prevent storms, hail, frost floods, insects, diseases, and other natural hazards from striking your crop. But it will keep Your income from being "sawed off." This non-profit insurance guar antees you a return for your in vestment in a crop. And it is easy to own . . . One premium . . . One organization to deal with. What It Does Pratects you against crop dam age from all normal yield (or your investment.) When the crop fails to produce the coverage, you col lect enough to bring your crop re turn up to the guaranteed pro- duction. What It Costs Premiums are based on records showing the losses in past years of growing the insured crop in this county. Operating expenses are not included in the premium rates. This keeps the rates at a non-profit level. How To Get It Federal crop insurance can be obtained from designated agents and county AAA offices. Applica tion must be signed before the crop is planted or before the speci fied closing date, April 10, which ever is earlier. CONTRACTS ARE BEING .
