C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1955 : - - — -• - - --*• < •;____1: j The ! |'.a Mouth I I ^^ Piece Quote fob today: “Nothing can v work me damage except myself. The harm that I sustain I carry rfbout with me, and am never a real sufferer but by my own fault.”—St. Bernard. “Somebody’s got to get right ttoW, to trade automobiles,” Fred Ellis, local Buick dealer declared yesterday morning, when he walk id into Reaves’ restaurant for a cup of coffee and announced he'd just received' a shipment of new Chrs. “Humph," humphed James Reaves, “I’d like to know just what a person has to do to get rjght” with you. I’ve put 80,000 miles on my present car, trying Co trade with you!” i, Then N. M. Hilliard, who was sit ting nearby, confessed he’d worn out two Buicks trying also to get right. Shocks, boys, just meet his terms —that’s all it takes to get right with Ellis! Last winter, when Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kraft went vacationing in the Pocono mountains of Pennsyl vania, hoping to get in some ski ing and ice skating, a warm spell came along and practically melted all the snow and ice in the moun tains. This week, when the Krafts went back to the Poconos, they took Dr. and Mrs. Jim Lee along with them, and from the weather we’ve had here, and reports of the weather in the Pennsylvania area, they must have done the right thing—taking the' doctor along, we mean. You see, Dr. Lee is a dentist, and don’t you know how YOU freeze up when the dentist starts towards you? Musta worked the same way with the weather! H. P. Stowe saw an editorial in the Belmont Banner, which point ed out to him something which he has also noticed here. The edi torial dealt with the law against • 'WingTfire trucks on tSffl,' and \ited the possibility of hamp ■r } firemen in their work if ~~ get congested along the route 'to the- blaze. There just doesn’t seem to be any way to legislate against the ; curiosity of folks in small towns, ,mainly, we guess, because we’re all neighbors and have a natural interest in what happens to the other fellow. You’ve heard folks talk about days when'they “shoulda stood in Jbed”? Well, last Monday was such (Continued on bock paoo) Building Permits for Lost Month Over January, 1954 According to building permits is sued last month, money spent in construction in Mount Olive for the first month of 1955 nearly doubled that of January, 1954. ary, 1954.

Ficken, president of the Chamber of Commerce, this week announced the operation of the Auction Produce market would be changed for the coming season. Directors of the Chamber at a meeting Monday night voted to lease the facilities of the market to the Mount Olive Produce Auc tion. Market, Inc., a newly-formed corporation, composed of local brokers and buyers, for a five month period, effective April 1, Ficken said the corporation pro poses to follow the method of ope ration how in use at other markets in the area. Members of the corpo ration, be.said, have expressed a belief this new method of opera tion will attract additional buyers and will strengthen the market, thus resulting in better prices to growers. " V; The market has been operated for the past several years by a committee selected by the Cham ber of Commerce, which controls the auction shed property and fa cilities under a 25-year lease from the town, which actually owns the property. '' - , 4 ..., ; ; ‘ ,1 P'S yj H-% ** vi SJ Recently, the four local produce brokerage firms: Andrews and Knowles, English and Oliver, R. B. Warren, and C. W. Oliver, Jr., or ganized a corporation under the name of the Mount Olive Produce Auction Market, Inc., for the pur pose of operating a produce market themselves under their o#n man agement. Shortly after its formal incorporation, the firm re-purchased the interest of C. W. Oliver, Jr., who had decided to withdraw. The corporation’s stock is presently owned in equal shares by English and Oliver, R. B. Warren, and An drews and Knowles. This corporation has purchased a tract of land suitable for the building of new . market facilities just east of the property pf the Clear-Vue Drive-In theatre on the Beautancus highway at the south ern edge of town,' but has announc ed that its operations for the 1994 season'wiH'be carried on at the site of the present market,. the facilities of which have been sub leased to the corporation by the Chamber.-':..* There are ip definite plans at rvvv* . mm ■! ?* *’V x’ )>:V Vfc*' & -‘-r >.. • . - ■ : ,, < - . j present as to how long the present facilities will be used by the new corporation or whether the newly* acquired-property will be used ut the foreseeable future. A spokesman for the new cor poration said the purpose of the change was to give the control and management of the market to' the brokers themselves to enable them to make all possible improvements in the marketing set-uff, attract more out-of-town buyers, and put the over-all marketing operation on a sound business basis. “We don’t know yet exactly what changes will be made, but we def* initely feel that we can make many improvements. We feel that our market has been losin ground la recent'years, and we want to do ev* erything possible to help the farm er get the best possible prices for his produce. It will help'not only our firms, *bnt every farmer, mer chant, and businessman in our sec tion if we can pake our market stronger, and that is exactly what we propose to de,“ the new compa ny’* spokesman told the Tribune this week, *
