SCOTT POOLE A printer recently wrote to an editor, giving his ex periences with the CIO and the business world. This prinir was assisting in get ting out and industrial and historical issue of the paper with which he was then em ployed. In that city there was a noted laundry business which had grown up with the city, and u.e employees of the laur.dr- had always assoc iated "together, their inte i tats ce identical; the wor kers in the laundry and the owners of the plant lived in equality. The manager of the laun dry had written a history of the business and an account of the friendly interest la boreis in the plant felt for -each ether, and they had been compared to one big loving family. The printer had set the matter, and had brought the proofs to the laundry to allow the mana ger to O. K. the article. Union labor had not been organized in that plant. In stead of paying dues they bought lots through the building and loan associa tion, now owned their homes Hoke Youths Will Attend 4-H Camp The Hoke County 4-H girls and boys will leave on Tuesday afternoon, June 25, for Camp Millstone near El lerbe, N.

Bedinger, pres ident of Flora Macdonald college, was guest speaker at the weekly meeting of the Raeford Kiwanis club in the club's hall here last Thursday night. In his talk Dr. Bedinger drew a parallel between the effect good leadership had on the military campaigns of the war and the effect good leadership and example has on the future of the youth of the world. Pie com pared the battles of the war with the battles of life and pointed out the responsibil ities of all to give youth the right leadership in various fields of endeavor for the winning of the battle. Dr. Bedinger's talk was in teresting and considered a fine message by all present. MEDLEY and had money in the sav ings department of the lo cal bank. They prepared for the proverbial rainy day. But as it happened, the very day the manager had written this historical sket ch of the long and success ful business success they they had all made together the CIO had organized the workers in that laundry and on the next day they had orders to strike and they had STRUCK. When that paper arrived at the plant pandemonium reigned. They were raising Cain. That printer had the op portunity to watch, and to iearn how the laundry em ployees got along after join ing the CIO and he said they struck occasionally - had to strike when ordered to. He said he learned they order ed a strike in one place to get money to pay the ex penses of a strike in a new place, where they had never had a strike before. Some of this may be exaggerated, but in my opinion, only the leaders profit by strikes.

It has been pretty hot here this week, but this weather has been general in the sec tion and, according to the keepers of statistics, no re cords have been set, hot we ather being the rule rather than the exception in June. The Johnson Cotton com pany building on both sides of the corner of Main street and the Laurinburg road is nearing completion and is a fine looking building. The same may be said of the building of the W. W. motor company on the Fay etteville road next door to the Johnson company (not the Johnson Cotton com pany). Frank Williams, who married the former Pat sy Blue, will be the operator of this company. He is or iginally from Manchester. Understand from John Mc Googan that the Carolina telephone & telegraph com pany is planning to build an extensive network of rural lines in this county and that they are going to start soon. If people who knew the news would tell us here at 352-1 about it the subscribers wouldn't have to read so much of this sort of stuff. (Continued on pags 6) BUILDING PRIORITY ISSUED FOR FREEZER LOCKER PLANT Boll Weevils Emerge To Attack Cotton Boll weevils are coming out of winter quarters and going into the cotton fields off South Carolina, and re cent rainy weather has com plicated the situation, say reports reaching James T. Conner, Jr., Extension Ento mologist at North Carolina State College. Efforts spents in fighting the boll weevil this year to give better yields of cotton should prove a profitable venture in those sections where the pest is showing up in large numbers, accord ing to Conner. He suggests that farmers examine their cotton fields closely, particularly around woods, fences and ditch banks, because it is here that the boll weevil generally shows up in largest numbers. Mopping or spot dusting will give good returns early in the season, but when the pest really attacks, general applications of calcium ar senate are advisable. Prof. Howard Jones of the Physics Department at State College, has just returned from an automobile trip to the black land area of Texas ' and says that cotton crops are generally poor, except in one area that visited in Texas. There he found the crop much farther advan- ced than-at other places a - loner the route he traveled. LIBRARY NEWS New books are coming in in large numbers at the pub lic library.

Expect Construction To Begin Within Ten Days Officials of the Frozen Food corporation announced to local officials this week that the government had issued the necessary priori ties for the purchase of building materials for the proposed ..freezer ..locker., plant here. With this news the proposal comes much closer to being reality, as it is expected that the con struction of the plant on U. S. Highway 15-A near the armory in Raeford will begin within the next few days. Officials of the corpora tion have expressed the o pinion that the plant may pospibly be completed by October, as experience on previous jobs has shown that the construction and in stallation of equipment takes from three to six months. They think that, as the wea ther of the next three months is normally about the best in the year, it is quite pos sible that the plant here may be built in about three mon ths. The plant will provide a capacity of 500 lockers, each six cubic leet in size. The processing equipment will provide ample space for the handling of a very heavv , volume of pork, beef, poi trv. and other meats, as well as vegetables and fruits. In addition to the advan tages of a frozen food lock er plant for the preserving of food for home use. there will also be an opportunity for growers to have food processed through this plant and sold on the open market at premium prices. o The Louis-Conn fight last night sounded pretty even until the Brown Bomber loosed his dynamite in the 8th round. Then Conn was level and Louis was still champion. FARM NOTES By A. S. Knowks The feed situation contin ues to be serious. In order to reduce the cost of feed and save concentrates, farm ers are urged to plant tem porary grazing crops now additional feed is needed. Sudan grass and pearl mil let can be planted now to fur nish quick grazing or hay where needed. 200 to 40') pounds of fertilizer should be used per acre. When 6 to 12 inches 'gh, topdress with nitrogen. Do not over-graze perm anent pasture. Mow weeds from pasture about twice each year. In order to im prove the existing pasture or where a new pasture will be seeded, it is wise to start making preparation by add ing limestone when con venient on a good, fairly well drained soil. The fer tilizer and part of the seed can be put in during the fall. b
