Hillsboro, N. C., Thursday, October 10, 1946 (Published Weekly) — 10 Pages This Week Movement Underway To Bar Carnivals From County Appearance of two carnivals in Orange county during th< same week and the wide-open gambling- and girlie show: pperating with the carnivals, resulting in a drain on the in come arid a corresppnding drop in the amounts paid on bill held by merchants, are the reasons for the effort started thii week by a group of merchants and interested civic-mindec rv»nnle to prohibit carnivals-,' shows and rirrn«p« fr^rr. ing more than one day in the county. This past week Orange county officers were called upon to police the grounds of two carnivals which pitched their tents, rides and gam bling tables in the county. One car nival was near Mebane and the second near Hillsboro. The car nivals were less than 10 miles apart. . Reports said that wide-open gambling was in progress at -the shows and 'that girl shows -were about as lewd and promiscuous as any ever to show in the county. Police officers pointed out, how ever, that the carnivals were sold state and county licenses to put up their tents and offer their en tertainment to the people. “Under conditions such as these, there is very little that we can do,” they said. In another county in the state last week, the Grand Jury ordered at a carnival. Under such instruc tions, the presiding judge at the superior court session ordered the carnival “cleaned up.” The Hillsboro Merchants Asso ciation took the first step in halt ing the appearance of shows and carnivals for more than one day by going on record against them at its meeting Monday night., James Webb, Democratic nominee for senator without opposition in the November general elections, has already been approached by a number of interested citizens and has promised his aid, provided enough favorable comment is re ceived, in getting a local bill passed prohibiting the shows from putting down for more than one day. State Representative from Or ange county will also be asked to give his support to such a measure. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Mer chants Association will be re quested to back the local jne chants m such a move and other organizations in the county will be urged to support the movement. Milk Producers Don’t Seek Hike In Their Prices Raleigh—C. F. Cates of Mebane, president of the N: C. Milk Pro ducers Association, announced here recently that the asociation has passed a resolution urging that the retail price of grade A milk in North Carolina be kept at a maxi mum of 20 cents per quart, with the wholesale price being main tained at a maximum ceiling of $5.80 per hundred pounds. He said that although the $5.80 maximum which the producers are now receiving for milk is 25 cents less than they would have received it the Federal subsidies had been hept in effect, the association is completely satisfied with pres ent prices, and is unalterably op posed to any increase whatever.” Cates asserted, generally speak *ng, that the retail 20-cents-per quart price and the $5.80 per hun dred pounds on a wholesale basis are in effect throughout the State. “We want no increase in prices,” said Cates.

Prices Firm On Old Belt Weed Markets During the second week of sale: on the Old Belt flue-cured tobaccc markets, average prices were steady to slightly lower for mosi grades'except for green leaf, prim ings and nondescript. According to the United States North Carolina and Virginia De partments of Agriculture, most 61 the declines were from $1.00 tc $3.00 per hundred. However, fail to fine orange lugs and best heavj '?v,;dtr jrii lost $5.00 for the gilat est declines of the week. On the other hand, the majority of prim ings, green leaf and nondescript showed gains ranging from $1.00 to $6.50. Low green (lemon side) leaf led the advances. The volume in these grades was very small. Growers were still dissatisfied with prices for poorer qualities, but re jections were not quite as numer ous as opening week. The general quality of the of ferings was much better this week. There were more fair- to choice qualities 'and less common and low and nondescript. Bulk was com posed chiefly of low to fine lugs and low to good leaf and cutters. Again, as was the case last week, leaf, lugs and cutters were mar keted in almost equal proportions, but leaf predominated by a very Small margin. The volume of sales was very light this week as most markets did not have enough tobacco to sell their allotted 3 1-2 hours per day. Gross sales amounted to 19, 963213 pounds at an ,average of $48.43 per hundred. This was 4, 373,235 pounds less than opening week, when 24,336,448 pounds were sold for an average of $46.67. Al though most grades were slightly lower, the weekly average was $1.76 above last week’s. The high er average was attributed to the much improved quality and to the marketing of a larger percentage of better grades of leaf, lugs and cutters.

Plans for holding the Fall trade promotion were cancelled when leading merchants in town pointed out that they were having a diffi cult time securing merchandise to offer traders in the sales promo tion. They also pointed out that efforts to secure suitable prizes to offer at the conclusion of the con test had proven difficult and that they doubted the prizes could be found. It was decided to use the tick ets already printed for the festi val next year. They will be stored in a convenient, safe place in town until the next sales promotion plan is adopted. Considerable opposition was voiced to the appearance of cami vais in the county. By a Unanimous vote, the merchants were on re cord as opposing the appearance of such events showing more than one day in the county. J. M. Blieden, president of the association, was requested to write E. Carrington Smith, president of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Mer chants Association, and request the association there to take the same action.

Milk Needs For Orange Near Peak Orange county residents will consume more than 5,775,000 quarts of milk and milk products this year in maintaining the coun ty’s- nutritional standards, itwas predicted today by the nation’s leading distributor of dairy pro ducts. “With a near record supply of : milk from the nation’s dairy farms, [ consumption of dairy products this year will nearly equal that of 1945 when more than 60,000,000,000 quarts were consumed,” said head of a national dairy department. “A'22 percent increase in per capi ta consumption of milk during the war years helped overcome the loss of nutrition caused by cur tailed supplies of fats and oils and helped bring about the nation’s ' high nutritional wartime levels.” An increased supply of most cheese products is now available in many sections of the country and other milk products are expected to be adequate during the fall and winter months, Diehl said. These products contain nearly 14 percent of the calories, 24 percent of the proteins, 18 percent of the fats, 74 percent of the calcium and 45 percent of the riboflavin consum ed by the average individual. Orange County’s 1,850 farms are expected to produce more than 8, 500,000 quarts of milk this year. License Exaariner Issues Warning Robert S.
