Concord Races
The local drivers had a lit
tle good luck along with a
little tough luck Saturday
night at the Concord Speed
' way. Carl Reeves and Jerry
Waller both came in the mo
ney on two different races-
I Carl finishing second and Jer
ry third in one race. They
atarted 28 cars and only
about twelve finished. Buck
Connell put a new cam shaft
in his car to increase the pow
er but it ceme loose during
the race, but he has it about
straightened out now. He also
bad a tire to blow out Sat
urday night, which naturally,
put him in the pit area. Shorty
Nichols will be back in the
Saturday night events. He had
to miss last week due to
en axle being out of his car.
These boys all have good cars
and they show up well on
the track, but as fast as they
heve to run, anything can
happen. Carl has put new
shocks on his car because he
feels that he can handle it
hotter coming out ef the turns
where the track gets a little

Rainfall Helps
Crops In Area
The slow rainfall which
lasted for several hours this
week was a blessing to all
especially to the farmers and
gardeners. This kind of rain
really does a lot of good and
the ground stays moist for
sometime. Small grain crops
where fertilizer or nitrate of
soda has been used on them
was really helped by the
rains. Tomato plants, early
garden, and truck patches
should begin to look good
with this fine season to start
them off.

lington Industries, Inc. report*
ed consolidated net sales of
$332,627,000 for the quarter
ended Aprilrl, 1987, compared
to sales of for the
same period last year.
Net earnings for the qaurtar
were $12,895,000, equal to 51
cents per share on
shares outstanding at April 1.
For the comparable quarter
last year, net earnings were
$20,985,000 or 84 cents per
share.
For the six months ended
April 1, net sales were $870,-
084,000 and net earnings were
$29,041,000 or $1.15 per share. II
In the comparable six months
last year sales totaled SBB3,- -
884,000, and earnings were
$40,870,000 or $1.82 per share.
Charles F. Myers, Jr., presi
dent, said earnings in the
March quarter were substan
tially affected by the contin
ued high levels of imports oi
textile yarns, fabrics and ap
parel. "Although import con
trols on cotton textiles and ap
parel have rcently been ex
tended, there are no equivalent
limitations on the growing
volume of imports of man
made fiber and wool fabrics,"
he stated. "In these areas, im
ports are coming primarily
from low-wage, highly indus
trialized countries which fre
quently subsidize their ex
ports. The industry is making
every effort to obtain Govern
ment cooperation in holding
these imports to more reason
able levels."
Mr. Myers noted that "March
quarter earnings were also de
pressed by the further down
ward price trend of polyester;
acrylic and nylon fibers. This ,
weakness resulted in lower '
selling prices for fabrics and
also required significant inven- 1
tory writedowns.
"These factors, together with
the manufacturing curtailment
needed to keep inventories in
line with sales, will continue to
adversely affect Burlington's
operations for the next tew
months," he added. "It appears,
however, that start-up expen
ses for the record 1988 capital
program substantially behind
us, the Company is now at the
bottom of the decline which
began last August."
The Board of Directors,
meeting in New York declared
a regular quarterly dividend
of 30 cents per share, payable
June 1, 1987, to shareholders
of record at the close of busi
ness May 5, 1987.
