' 1 - He added that "In my opinion the price at tobacco should sub stantially increase and the increase should hold in all belts throughout the remainder of this market sea son." - The Senator said the average price for the Eastern North Caro lina crop in 1046 was 32.3 cents per pound. "I am now informed that the recent .average has been about 43.5 cents per pound, this means a -drop of almost 18 percent-He told the audience that "the estimate of this year's crop of flue-cured tobacco made in Aug ust indicated approximately 86 000,000 pounds less than was pro- duced last year.

The Times and Duplin thanks Mr. Snyder for this fine work and contribution. that Great Britain's purchases dur ing this fiscal year.wjll be about 100,000,000 pounds less than wai purchased last year.' This makes a difference of only; about 50,000, 000 -pounds, which should not ser iously .affect the price of tobacco at this time. : "It has also been suggested that other foreign countries due to the difficult monetary situation,, will reduce their purchases. However, I am advised that domestic con sumption is running stronger than it was last year. The increase in domestic consumption, it is be lieved, will be sufficient to offset any loss of purchases by foreign countries, other than Great Brit ain. In view of these facts, there ap pears. to be no sound reason why tobacco should not be bringing as much as it brought last year. The maintenance of our export trade in flue-cured tobacco is of utmost importance. Our government offi cials should make every reason able effort, in dealing with foreign countries, to preserve and increase markets for flue-cured tobacco." Weeks Celebration Mayor Berkley Says of celebration, there will be a mam moth historical pageant spectacle, "A Century On Review", with a cast of 700 people, staged and pro duced by the John B Rogers pro ducing Company, of Fostoria, .Ohio, largest producers of spectacles in America. jaanaam A special honor guest will be General Kenneth C.

Said Mayor Berkeley, "We are planning to make this the great? est week of this kind in Goldsboro history." which he believed would lead to quick arrest of the person respon sible for the burglarly of Teacbey's store in Kenansville Wednesday night Entrance to the place of business was made through the rear door.

Elbert Hubbard. WE NEED A HOSPITAL I don't know how much thought and discussion, if any, our County Commissioners have given to tak ing advantage of funds set up in the last legislature to aid hospital construction and medical care throughout the State. Duplin County has a population of 5O.C0O people. The nearest hos pital from Kenansville, which is near the center of the county, is Kinslon. Duplinites East and North of Kenansville have to use Kinstoi. and Goldsboro hospitals. West of K-enansvilIe they use Goldsboro and Fayetteville. South of Kenans ville they use Wilmington. Hospitals in these cities are al ready overrun and are making euorts to enlarge their facilities. In one light this is an imposition. A hospital, the physical plant it self, is not generally designed to make money. It is a place where the doctor can most efficiently and successfully Uke care of his patients. It seems to me that something should be done about this. Ke nansville is the proper place for a small hospital that will serve every taxpayer in the county. There are about 30 counties in the State withno hospital facilities. Monday the Halifax Counts. Com- VJ missioners voteif lor'But up 28'per .vcent of the "cost of constructing one at Scotland Neck, and there already is one hospital in the county. For the past few years, during the good times, our commissioners have consistently cut taxes. Let's increase our tax rate a little and build a County Hospital in Ke nansville. For after all, Isn't the health of our people, and the abil ity to provide for them in emer gencies just as important as many other government agencies And a darn sight more important than some. Let's hear from some of you leading citizens on this. We all like to have bouauets thrown at us. Some of hesitate to J brag on ourselves. What I'm fix- ing to say is not intended to bo braggadocio. , Three instances have happened in the pas few days that don't j seem to be co-incidents to me. I Last week I walked into the I store of T. A. Turner and Company in Pink Hill. Mrs. Hatlie Davis, popular clerk there, remarked, "Bob, you'll have to send me six copies of The Times, six . people have borrowed it already and one has subscribed, remarking, that it was better than a certain daily in this section." Also last week a subscriber from the Rose Hill area walked into the office' to renew his subscription. On being told the rates were, ad vanced to $3.00 per year, remarked, "I just can't pay that, I get another county paper so I'll j jst have to drop the Times." He walked out. A few minutes later he returned with a low face and said, "my wife says she must have the Tnes, so here's your money." Tuesday of this week I was talk ing with a prominent Warsaw busi ness man. His remark was. "I couldn't get along without the Times. If you advance the rates to $5.00 a year I'll still take it." Still Captured Near Pink Hill Deputy Oliver Home of Beula ville, accompanied by deputies Collins and Smith of this county, captured a 100 gallon capacity cop per still and 800 gallons of mash near Pink Hill Sunday. Operators of the still "were not at the scene, so were not taken.

The Seven Springs Suplpy Co., owner of the line from Seven Springs to La Grange, has indica ted it might consider selling the line to the Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Co. Should such a deal I Tobacco Barn Fires Cause Heavy Losses Tobacco barn fire losses amoun ted to nearly two million dollars last year for North Carolina flue cured tobacco growers, says R. R. Bennett, Extension Tobacco special ist at State College. As a result of this heavy loss to the farmers, the Extension Service made a study in an effort to learn the causes of these fires. The re sults revealed 1,412 barns, 878,600 sticks of tobacco, and 1,412 curing units destroyed by fire in 1946. There were 162,300 wood-fired barns in use in the State last year, and of this number, 825 or 5.4 barns out of each 1,000 burned. Out of a total of 77,800 oil-fired barns estimated in use in the State, 534 were reported burned or 619 out of each 1,000. In interpreting this information, it should be kept in mind that there were a number of different makes of oil burners that had a lower fire loss, rate than wood, while there were other makes that were responsible for a very high loss among barns fired with oil. Of the 9,100 barns in use fired by stokers,' 42 burned, or about 4.5 barns per 1,000. Further information on these losses have been prepared by Mr. Bennett and: N. C. .Teeter and are. available upon request. Prepared in a detailed and easily readable form, the folder shows the causes of the barn losses, makes and types of heating units used, and recom mendations for reducing fire loss es.' --r-y : .. In requesting this information, write to Agricultural Editor, State College Station, Raleigh,' and ask No. 37 Ciiinpnin Highway commissioner J, A. Bridger of Highway. District No. 3, in a telephone conversation on Tuesday night with Bob Grady, of the Duplin Times, stated that pa ving of the road from Chinquapin to the Onslow County line, via Byman and Fountain's Store, was ' definitely next on the list for his " district He said the contract for " this road would be let before any 1 other road In any county in the . district, even including ill through : Smith Township. . Mr. Bridger, talking from his home in Bladenboro, stated that a contract for this road had been offered but was turned down be cause the bid was too high. When asked about some farm to market roads in Cypress Creek, ne stated that nothing could be done about that until the main artery is built. Before the road can be paved a contractor first must prepare the right-of-way. There is not a foot of paved road in Cypress Creek Township and Chinquapin has one of the largest schools in the county.
