Weeks pointed out -that every third basket that was on the Ware house floor would go into foreign trade and that if we are to main tain foreign markets it is necessary that better tobacco is produced here than can be produced abroad. . He went on to say that his Asso ciation sponsors this youth tobacco sale 6n a state level by offering priz es of $200, $150 and $100 for State winners In -the contest. - S. N.

George Bennett, warehouseman, and Mr. Terrell, government grader, Judged the contest sis. If almost everyone Is, 'attacked by the virus, there must be an im portant reason why some people succumb and some do not. There is. The critical battle in the fight against polio takes place, as it al ways has, in the bodies of human beings. It is a battle between the polio virus and tiny particles, called antibodies, which can destrdy the virus in the blood stream. When an individual is infected by the polio virus, the virus enters his system and begins to multiply. At the same time, the human system begins to produce defensive anti bodies. A race ensues. If the human an tibody factory works speedily en ough, the antibodies destroy the po lio virus in the blood and keep it from attacking nerve cells. - Sales Heavy On Eastern Tobacco Belt Last Week Volume of Sales continued heavy on the Eastern North Carolina flue cured tobacco markets this week. Small fluctuations occurred for a large number of grade averages when compared with prices of the previous week. According to the Federal - State Market News Ser vice quality of offerings was bet ter. Sales for the week ending Sep tember 18 grossed 59,566,788 pounds and averaged $50.92 per hundred.

Most variations were from $1.00 to $2.00 a hundred pounds with practically the same number of gains as losses. ; The percentage of fair and good leaf marketings was larger. Less poor and low leaf was on the floors. Also the proportions of primingsj ana lugs aecreasea sugnuy. roor to good leaf continued to make up the bulk of sales.

(Reporter, Carolyn Bostic) WITH To Begin Coverage With World Serjes WITN, NBC affiliated TV station, will begin its coverage of Eastern North Carolina Monday, Septem ber 26, according to Hal Wilson, director of operations. One of the first features. of the new station will be the presenta tion of the World Series, beginning September 29. The new station, with studios in Washington,, has Its tower and transmitter at Grifton, which will provide a wider range of coverage for Eastern North Carolina. WITN can be viewed on Channel 7. ' If the virus multiplies faster than antibodies can be produced to fight it, the virus overwhelms the body's defenses, attacks the nervous sys tem and may cause paralysis. For nearly all of recorded his tory men knew no way to influ ence the critical battle of polio within the human body. Then, in 1951 and 1952, research supported by the March ot Dimes revealed that antibodies from other people's blood contained in gamma globulin could be "loaned" to an individual by injection and would give some protection against paralytic polio. But the loaned antibodies would last only a few weeks. And to be effective, they had -to be injected before or at most within a few days utter a person was exposed to po lio, and .it is not generally possible to tell when this is. Obviously, gamma globulin, while of value In epidemic situations, was no final answer to the control of polio. Among other things, there could never be enough to go around (since it comes from human blood) and it is extremely expensive. Now for the first time we have an effective means for con trolling polio. The Salk vaccine, in the most extensive and careful field trial ever given a vaccine, was showil to be 60 to 90 per cent effective in preventing paralytic polio. The vaccine now being man ufactured is even more effective. In most parts of the country we are now at the tapering - .off part of the 1955 polio season. We have the fall and winter months and the early spring to prepare for 1958, There is no doubt that we have it in our power greatly to reduce pot lio incidence next year..; How well we succeed will depend largely on how many children Mceive vaccine. First, of course, the vaccine must be manufactured and distributed. During the fall and winter large supplies will be -made available for use. i .". j f ' m , , It is too much to noDe that all of the 165,000,000 people in the Unit ed States can be vaccinated before next summer, but many millions of children Will surely be inoculated, including almost all in the highly susceptible five through nine year age group. . - Since polio' attacks more children than adults,' 'it is by vaccinating children that ' the greatest effect can be achieved.- In terms of pre venting cases bt paralvtlc polio.- Every parent naturally has ques tions about the vaccine. Foremost is the question;' Jj the vaccine safeT. The. answer to this is yes. Last spring, according to a U. S. Public. Health Service report, live virus was found in a small amount of vaccine that had been released. More stringent government' safety (Vonunued ma Back Page).;.. , More Peon' Are Using Telephone For Conversing More and more people pre doing more and more talking by tele phone these days and, according to Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company, they are not limiting themselves to local conversations. Last month, for the first one month period in the Company's history, Eastern North Carolina telephone users placed over a mil lion long distance calls. , Not all these ' calls - were com pleted a company spokesman stat ed, pointing out that this is largely due to the fact that people are not always at home when their tele phone rings. ttft About ii million local calls per month are handled by the Carolina company. Statistics indicate that people call more frequently and for shorter periods in the larger towns while in smaller towns, people talk longer and less often. In smaller towns, the average telephone sub scriber makes a telephone call 6.35 times daily while In the larger towns, he calls 7,71 times daily.

Game time is 8 p.m. Little is known about the Bur gaw team so the LaGrange players will be up against a foe that could be a tough one. The team is, in good condition. Coach Beck Corbin says the boys are ready for the game and it looks like the team will be a full strength despite the two minor in juries suffered agianst Warsaw. LaGrange High School Bulldogs hurdled one of its main obstacles such is the Kingdom of Heaven. "A. D. is the beginning of love, he said. "Man today loves bis ene my and does good, those who per secute him." He brought out that A. D. is the fullfillment of prophesy from the Old Testament when it reads, "The people who . walked in darkness have seen a great light." Then he added, "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever '. believed ,1n him should not perish, but have, ever lasting life." - , -'' u As part of the Homecoming Day ceremonies.

Wednesday afternoon the community of Chinquapin, accord ing to reports was completely ma rooned. No school in Chinquapin the whole week through today. All schools were closed Monday and Tuesday. At Maxwell's Mill, a ditch had to be cut across the fill to save the mill house and Durwood Maxwell's home. Wednesday afternoon I went to Hallsville and found water up. to the sills of Hallsville Presbyterian church. I backed up an eighth of a mile before I got out of the wat er. Faison Turner's fish pond broke, in Albertson township, Alton New ton's fish pond in Kenansville broke and we understand others in the county did. Tree pamage generally over the county was not serious. Goshen Swamp between Kenansville and Grady school was blocked by two trees down. According to reports Northeast at Sarecta flooded the highway. Water rose as high as porch floors at some houses. The deluge in Warsaw was terri fic. Tops will have to be replaced on the homes of J. P. Harmon and Paul Hunter. No other damage ws reported other than water. Bridges were washed out between holding. The Tigers then held and took over on their 15.

On the third down, Byrd took a pitchout from Carter, scooted a round his right end for the second touchdown. A beautiful block thrown by Ed Pridgen was instru mental in the score but in gaining it, Byrd did a fine bit of side-stepping on the linebacker and safety man. Carter passed to Killette for the extra point, and LaGrange led in the first quarter 14-0. Mid-way in the second quarter, after an exchange of the ball, the Bulldogs started another drive which ended when Carter passed to Ralph Allison in the end zone for a TD, the play being good for eight yards. Carter ran the ex tra point. At half time, LaGrange led 21-0. To begin the second half Coach Corbin started some of his sub stitutes who have not started a half this season.
