Calypso Loses
Railroad Station
Calypso's fight to keep its rail
road station apparently has' been
lost. The Atlantic Coastline Rail
road has been authorized to discon
tinue its services there. The change
would reduce the station to a flag
stop.
The authorization to discontinue
the services was given by the State
Utilities Commission a few days
ago. The order will stand unless the
town is able to show the case shquld
be reconsidered. - 1 ,
The fight to retain the station
had been a long and hard fought
one. . , . '
Citizens of the town appeared be
fore the Commission in the spring
to offer reasons the station should
not be closed. -
The hearing came to an abrupt
end and was resumed June 4. : .
The citizens had appeared on an
other occasion a few years back to
offer reasons the station should be
retained.
The Commission said the Coast
line had proved the agency is not
paying its way and that closing it
would Nnot cause . serious inconven
ience to the public. h.?
One of the main objections raised
by the citizens of Calypso in asking
that the station be kept active was
that the town had donated the pro
perty on which the depot Is located.
They said it was given to the rail
road approximately 50 years ago on
condition that it would revert to
the original owners or their heirs
when it ceased being used at a
"station.
.. The Commission said this is a
question for the courts.

Mothers and Children In Duplin Getting
44 Percent Of Insurance Benefits
Mothers and children In Duplin
County were getting 44 of the
$13,713 monthly total in social se
curity insurance benefits being paid
in the county at the end of 1953,
N. A. A vera. Manager of the. Wil
mington social security office an
nounced, today.
These- newly available figures
AowA.n increase "of $1692 in the
total of monthly payments to this
group of beneficiaries . in the 12
month ' period ending with Decem
ber, he said. . Total payments Of
children in this county with $4587
for the month of December. In the
nation as a whole, over one million
children were getting a total of
about 32 H million in monthly pay
menta a the end of 195J. Nation
wide, over a quarter" of a 5 million
widowed mothers were paid a total
of Over $914 million in December.
The largest groups of beneficiaries
under the social security, insurance
program, however, continue to be
retired workers, Mr. Avera said.
In December, 1953 such beneficiar
ies in Duplin were paid a total of
$5771. This was an increase of $1193
in total payments in a 12-month
period. Nationwide, the increase in
retired-worker beneficiaries was

payments to them increased from
$130,217,439 to $174,659,061 in the
same period.
Mr. Avera said, that many of us
are inclined to think if old-age and
survivors insurance under the social
security system as a program for
retired workers and their depend
ants exclusively. As the figures re
lating to mothers and children in
dicate, however, survivors benefits
are an important part of the pro

Urge Caution
Grading Tobacco
J. B. Hutson, President of Tobacco
Associates, Inc., issued a statement
this week urging farmers ''to be
more cautious in grading their cur'
rent crop of tobacco to help over
come increasing complaints by for
eign manufacturers who object
strenuously to the 'mixed' condition
in which our tobacco is brought
to market."
"Since over one-third of the to
bacco grown is exported, it is es
sential that every effort be made
to nrepare the leaf for market in
such a manner as to please in so
tar as possible the foreign manufac
turers who use our tobacco," he
declared.
, Hutson, who's job is to promote
world markets for flue-cured tobac
co, said his statement was prompted
by increased complaints in recent
months by foreign users of U. S.
tobacco about the way our leaf is
graded on the farm. "During ' my
recent trip to Europe," he said, "I
was shown several samples verify
ing this criticism."
"Improper grading is also making
it easier for foreign countries to
take part of our export market"
the farm leader said, emphasizing
that "some of the newer flue-cured
producing areas, such as Southern
Rhodesia, Canada, and Brazil are
generally doing a better job of
keeping lugs, cutters, leaf, and tips
separated during preparation for
-narket As a result our flue-cured
leaf compares 'unfavorably in this
respect with , 'fluecured ' ' tobacco
produced in other countries. This
situation tends, to. intensiby $he com
petition our left is being faced with
in our overseas markets." ..
In order to, correct this, unfavor
able position ; regarding . '."mixed
grades, Hutson urged growers to
(1) market separately lugs,,, cutters,
leaf and tips; (2) pick out carefully
all green, red, deads and, burned
leaves and sell separately; X3) care
fully pick otn all string and other
foreign mattervand: (41, tteut: tiiuV
formly sized bundles - with butts
about the size of a half-dollar.
"When bundles are too large,"
Hutson explained, "they do not dry
properly when the tobacco is being
processed through the re-drying
plants and quite often cause the
tobacco to mold later while in
storage. This, of course, causes sub
stantial losses to the owners as well
as being the basis for complaints
made about our tobacco."
Hutson said in conclusion that "in
the face of increased competition
from foreign producing areas, to
bacco growers could lose millions
of dollars yearly unless they do a
better job of grading their product
for market A good job of prepara
tion for market assures the realiza
tion of the highest possible income
of tobacco, as well as helps to hold
our foreign markets which are of
utmost importance to us if we are
to insure a steady market at a fair
price for the surplus above normal
domestic requirements."

of your club to make every possible
effort to attend the National Con

If you have never attended a nation

will be amazed at the full program
carried on and how friendly Jaycees
from an over the United States will
be to" their Jaycee brothers."

Seven Springs citizens are hoping
the installation of telephones in the
area will help them, secure a medi
cal doctor's, service. i
Mayor. Horace Piner says he be
lieves the lack of a good telephone
network in ' the area has been one
of the obstables in the path of get
ting a physician. .
Until this month, when about 30
telephones were installed in Seven
Springs off the Moss Hill exchange,
the area was served, by about eight
phones off the private line of Seven
Springs Supply Company.
Piner and Henry Dail of Seven
Springs Supply Co, say other ob
stacles have been the inability of
the people to guarantee a salary
and specific practice to a doctor
who would come to Seven Springs.
Today the closest doctor Is in
LaGrange, eight miles away. Citi-
zens in the area receive medical
care from doctors in Mount Olive.
14 miles away; Goldsboro, 19 miles
away; Kinston, 19 miles away; Ken-'
ansville, 25 miles away, Pink Hill,
16 miles away and LaGrangje. .
"We have not given up hopes of
getting a doctor," Mayor Piner said,
"We are still working on getting
one."
Dail said "If we could get a good
doctor, and were assured he would
become a permanent physician, I
think we could build a drug store
here and maybe a clinic." He added
"But we cannot afford to construct
buildings if they are not going to
be used." '
The Community Building, which
was constructed with community
funds and . materials, is so . con
structed that the ground floor can
be used for a doctor's office. "When
