Teachers Met
Monday Evening
The teachers of the Cherryville
Schools, Monday, October 16th,
enjoyed a fish fry at Mr. Ollie

Broad River. The group met at
six o'clock and in a short time
arrived, to the scent of frying
fish and “hush-puppies,” the lat
ter being a favorite food of Mr.
Carson and Mr. Sharpe.
The menu for the night seemed
to be a favorite with everyone.
It consisted of fish, potatoes, cole
slaw, tomatoes, kraut, pickles,
hush-puppies and coffee.
After this delicious meal the
party seemed reluctant to leave
the crackling fire from the fur
nace, as a crisp wind was blow
ing from the river. Finally the
teachers boarded the bus and re
turned to Cherryville. All in all,
it was a most enjoyable outing.

Final Call For
Registration «
Of Voters
A final call for registration of
all eligible voters has been issued
here by William B. Umstead, the
Chairman of the Democratic
State Executive committee.
Calling attention to the fact
that Saturday, October 28, is the
final day for registration in order
to vote in the General Election in
November, Mr. Umstead said
there were large numbers of new
residents in many precincts of
the state who had not placed their
names on the registration books.
Many have moved into communi
ties in recent months, or during
the war period, and still have the
right to vote in North Carolina
provided they either have them
selves properly recorded on the
books of their new residences or
apply for absentee ballots to vote
in the precincts from which they
moved, in their transfer to the
new place is not permanent.
In addition, he mentioned that
a large number of young citizens
have become of age in the past
few years, especially among the
women, and these have hot regis
tered in thousands of cases. He
urges them to assume their re
sponsibilities as citizens of North
Carolina by taking part in the
general election. Saturday of this
week will be the last opportunity
to register.
Turning to a discussion of the
absentee ballot, the state demo
cratic chairman pointed out that
persons working in war plants
or other places and temporarily
absent form their homes, may
vote as usual if they will apply
to the county boards of election
for absentee ballots. They should
file these applications at once
with their home county boards,
so that the affidavit of absence
and the ballot itself may be cam
pleted and returned to the coun
ty board before election day.

BEHIND THE SCENES -»
^ AMERICAN BUSINESS - '
.s
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.— “For
sale or lease: 973 government
owned factory and factory sites
in 41 states.”
As a starter in reckoning with
this aspect of the surplus dispo
sal problem, the Defense Plant
corporation has mailed to all
banks and chambers of commerce
a pamphlet describing details of
these properties. They range in
size from a 300-square foot fac
tory site to a plant covering 5,
143,800 square feet.
Opinion in business circles is
that there will be plenty of takers
for the smaller factories because
of the deep-rooted urge of the
average American to go into
business for himself. The larger
plants may have to be partitioned
into smaller units capable of
housing several manufacturers
under one roof.
The current demand for busi
ness, although mostly in the re
tailing field, is somewhat encour
aging to the government’s chan
ces of moving these properties,
when they are no longer needed
for war proluction. One business
broker reports he has clients
ready to buy several hundred
machine shops. On the other
hand, he believes he could sell
twice as many taverns, if avail
able. Another broker says inquir
ies are growing for bowling al
leys, delicatessens, groceries,
markets, drug stores and garag
es, filling stations and neighbour
hood variety stores. Many wom
en workers in war plants who
hope to gain post-war livelihood
in shops of their own, tolay are
studying at schools of dress de
signing and beauty culture.
TRAVEL AFTER V-E — The
belief prevails in some quarters
that defeat of Germany will bring
about an immediate change in
wartime travel restrictions. That
there is no basis for this theory
is made clear by E. P. Burke,
passenger traffic, manager of the
Pullman company, after a study
of the nation’s military needs.
Civilians need not expect an
overnight increase in train ac
commodations, nor are Pullman
accommodations likely to be as
easily obtained as in 1941, says
Burke.
America still faces bitter con
flict in the Pacific he points out,
and military forces must be trans
ferred to the west coast. In addi
tion, as troops'are brought back
from Europe, they must be trans
ported from ports of debarkation
to army camps and eventually to
points of demobilization and their
homes. There will be a duplication

FUTURISTIC CARS—For sev
eral years now many automobile
manufacturers have been telling
the American public that they
will resume production with an
automobile that is basically the
1942 model. But this week it de
veloped that at least one automo
bile company is planning a new
car from the ground up. Upset
ting the industry’s applecart was
Joseph W. Frazer, new chairman
of Graham-Paige Motors corpo
ration, who announced that his
company will build an automo
bile which will depart from the
conventional design and utilize
plastics, light metals and other
recent developments.
“We may not have the first car
on the market in the postwar pe
riod,’’ said Frazer, “but we do
plan to have the first real postwal
automobile. The prospective de
s ign for our new model is crys
tallizing and we expect to be as
modern as tomorrow. Our imme
diate objective is not to build a
‘used car’.”
THINGS TO COME— Removal

soybeans Golf balls made of

SUB - CONTRACTING LOCO
MOTIVES—-War production has
done much to bring- small and
large business closer together.
Large manufacturers have learn
ed how smaller firms can help to
eliminatet psoduction bottlenecks
and reduce costs in mass produc-1
tion. Small manufacturers have
learned a lot abotit the produc
tion techniques and requirements
of big companies. The current
program of building work-type
locomotives for the goversment
by Baldwin Locomotive works is
an example. The locomotive com
pany, in what it describes as a
new page in its production his
tory, is letting out orders for
parts of the engines to a large
number of sub-eantractors.
In some outstanding cases, re
ports Ralph Kelly, president, the
sub-contractors are making rad
ical departure from products
previously manufactured. A re
frigerator parts plant is making
ashpans and a Tennessee hand
wrought iron work plant is suc
cessfully manufacturing locomo
tive cabs.
