Figures provided by. the depart
ment today, including operations
up to last Thursday, showed 5,951
cans at Greenville and Farmville
plants, 4,697 among community
groups and 1,260 among individual
canners.
Canning is being conducted through
funds provided by the government
for emergency relief, and is expected !
to play an important part in pro- '
riding for the destitute and needy
during the year.
The plants in Greenville and
Farmville have been in operation 1
about two months now, and hun- !
dreds of people were said to have 1
taken advantage of the opportunity
to" place their surplus foodstuffs I
away for future consumption. ' '3
Operations ate probably the most i
extensive in the history of the coun- i

in other parts of the country* in an ,
effort to more completely meet relief
demands.

Bring Joy
Average At Lumberton
Jumps To $26.06 Per
Hundred Pounds
Lumberton, Aug. 16.?Farmers
waved their sales slips in glee today
as tobacco once more proved itself
the golden weed in more than name
only and vastly augmented streams
of cash flowed through South Caro
lina and North Carolina border belt
markets.
Tohacco warehouse areas in Lum
berton took on a festival-like air
as official averages jumped to $26.06
a hundred pounds with 202,000
pounds sold.
The jubilation was heightened by
the fact that improvements in prices
for the poorer grades, rather than
increased offerings for better grades,
appeared responsible throughout
the belt for increased acerages.
Dillon sold 50,000 pounds yester
day for an official average of $12.90.
At Lake City estimates placed
sales at approximately half a million
pounds for an average of $24 a hun
dred, and at Darlington 50,000 was
sold for $21.62 a hundred.
The Walstonburg M.
E. Church, South,
Walstonburg, N. C.
Within a few days the Walston
burg Methodist Church will open its
doors to the people of the communi
ty, ready and eager first of all to
serve the entire community. Only a
few months ago a group consisting
of about fifteen persons, anxious to
lend thier support and even sacrifice
if necessary, met and expressed .their
desire to build a methodist Church
in Walstonburg. These people felt
that another church was needed in
the community to help extend the
Kingdom of God among themselves
and othera They realized that spir
itual growth is as important; if not
more so, as other forms of growth.
Certainly it was a great undertaking
and this group and others who have
sympathised and contributed so lib
erally shall receive a great ovation
for their splendid spirit of sacrifice
which has existed throughout the en
tire building program. ?
There has existed no selfish pur
pose or motive in the construction of
this church building, but the chief
purpose has been that of building for
the future, expecting that this church
might first serve the people in and.
around Walstonburg in a sipirit of
brotherly love and good will to all
! converned. Everyone, will be wel
comed to come and worship within.
jjjjj *
this beautiful structure erected and
dedicated to the cause of. Christ.
This is the first Methodist Cbuffh
to be erected in Walstonburg and the
prospects for a successful present
and indeed a great future are en
couraging. It ie an achievement
which the local membership shpuld
be proud of, and certainly the entire
community should be proud of such
an achievement and be willing to
cooperate in helping to make this
pioneering undertaking indeed a
great, success.
This church building is a beautiful
brick structure, consisting of the
main auditorium and five church
school rooms. The auditorium will
seat approximately two hundred
comfortably. The cost of erecting
this building has been about $6,000,
all of this amount has been raised
with the exception of about $1500.
It is hoped and expected that this
amount can be raised sometime, in
the near future in order that the
church can be dedicated in the early
fall. Any contribution, large or
small, will be greatly appreciated
and graciously received. The church
in indebted to those who have so lib
erally contributed of their means for
the erection of this building. The
lot on which the church has been
built is the gracious gift of Mrs.
Sarah F. Walston and son, J. Frank
Walston. This was a valuable piece
of property, the donation certainly
is greatly appreciated by all. The
