By 1975, it is antici pated, there will be one car for every two to two and one-half persons. Now there is one car for every three persons. The National Association of. Manufacturers, citing figures from the President’s Materials Policy Commission Report of June, 19,52, 'ates that America’s dynamic growth by 1975 can mean 65 mil lion passenger cars and 20 million trucks on the nation's roads. The report states that “the pro jected domestic requirement for automobiles (by 19175) is there fore between 6.5 and 7.5 million . . ." per year. America by 1975 will have al out $75 billion in investments in foreign countries. The National Association of Manufacturers cites predictions from a recent speech by C. Clif ford Stark, vice president of Mc C.raw-Hill International Corpora tion, which shows the tremendous growth in our foreign investments which can take place by 197'. “By that time, according to best current estimates, dur foreign in vestments will total about seven ty-five billion dollars. Of’this we will have put $15 billion, into Canada, $5 billion into Australia, $5 billion into Africa, and $10 billion into Latin America.” Turning Tobacco Ticket? Brings ‘Extra’ Income Keeping tali on the average market price of tobacco brought a Nash. County Negro farmer an “extra" $75 the other day. \V. P. Wright, Negro farm agent for the Agricultural Exten sion Service, says Earnest Sills, Castalia, Route 2, learned how to r-■ the daily price support sheet available at warehouses “just in Here’s Sills' story: “One of the first things I did when 1 got into the warehouse was to get a daily price report sheet. As soon as my tobacco was in spected and the grade mark put on the tickets I used the price sheet to find out what similar grades sold for the day before. The first time my tobacco was sold the price was under the market price (auction average) and I turned the tickets. The a me tobacco was offered for sale again the same day with each pile bring ing market price (a total of $75 more than it sold for the first Wright soy- that >v using t*ie price sheet Sills was able to find on* about, what his tobacco was worth before it was sold. [daily tobacco price report shee'5 ■ available to farmers on a'l I-.-.! co- market.-. explains Wright. Each sheet lists the prices paid bv grades the previous day. Each sheet also lists the advance price (government support price) by grades. Wright urged all farmers to follow their tobacco through the entire sale with a price sheet. Reminiscences Of Cherryville ••I_ i DAVID P. DELLINGER, A. M. j TELEPHONE POLES Something has reminded us of tin.* type bod place of the tele n'hono notes used when the fjjrst l> lophoi.e exchange was installed in the tinv-i. Me.-srs J. Will and \. Pen K ndrick iuiilt the first ex hiinare in the spring of 1901. The Holes were of post oak and were < fit from the Adei holdt woods two miles west of town. The poles were rather rough or crude affairs os compared with what is used at this time. There was not so much to the lines as they were set on .Mountain Street and Main Street aid that was about all needed to take care of .‘18 telephones used in the beginning. In the course of time the Pied mont Telephone and Telegraph bought out the Ken dricks and replaced the old oak ode with chestnut ooles of about as rough type hut they were des tined to serve many years which they did. As time rolled on and the telephone business picked up there were many cross arms at- • tached to the old chestnut poles ■ and hundreds of wires struntr tip and down the main part of town. After many years of this kind of ; obstructions on Main Street and ! the old poles and cross arms mar- i ring the beauty and scenery along the street with the advent of many nice building's the people began to agitate the clearing of the main stress and sidewalks of those un ijjhtlv obstiuotions. Th- agitation was kept up for a year or two and was so insistent that the Board of Commissioners fiassed an ordinance requiring that no power, light, or telephone should be allowed oti any of the main streets after 30 days after the passage of the ordinance. The ! penalty fn- allowing such Was fix- i rd at SI O.oo for each and every day of violation. Immediately the Piedmont peoole appeared before ’he hoard and nleaded for an ex tension of sjx months. This ti> al low them to put in an entirely new system for the town at a cost nf Sfi.500.no oroi-iisine- that all notes would ne lilaced in hack alleys. The town hoard agreed to suspend the ordinance as request ed to allow the company to ac ouire new equipment. This was I all done and taken care of as 1 agreed. The new exchange was then moved to the hank building in tb» northwest corner where it remained for years. Later it was removed to the K. I- Webb build ing opposite the Post Office. There it remained in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Lawson P. Dellinger until the company built, its present automatic exchange on South Mul berry Street.

Friends Memorialized In Book Of Memory For Gardner-Webb College Endowment By Johb E. Robert* I toiling Springs—-Gardn'er-Webb ■College has for its friends and patrons a Book of Memory, in which loved ones can be memori alized when they die. Tin.- memorial is established leap's endowment fund, and the name of the one remembered is entered in the hook, along: with the names of those establishing In* memorial. A letter is sent by the college to the family of the deceased, including the names of ’ bonis who have remembered them with a gift to the college. ’" its eighth year> of use, the book contains several score of memorials, established by httn di ■ s of fr'ends. The Book of Memory was es t-ihl’shed in 1947 shortly after the death of Ambassador O. Max Gardner, the great benefactor for whose family the college is named. At the time of his death the fam ily requested that instead of flow ers, donations in his memory he -ent to Gardner-Webb College for the endowment fund. Ill the next few days and weeks almost $7,000 wer sent in. O. Max Gardner, Jr., at that time treasurer of the college, con ceived the idea of entering names of all benefactors in an appropri ate book for preservation. He bought the book and had the names entered in it. All memorial contributions are added to the permanent endowment of the col lege. Ambassador Gardner started the endowment himself with a gift of $62,900, He had placed $50. "00 in the fund at the time of Ins death, arid the remainder was "iven by his family after his d »ath. The endownment fund now totals $260,000, and the college hoard of trustees last February authorized a campaign to raise the endowment to $1,000,000. Although thus far the Book of Memory has received no publicity, i'l the past two rears f>7 memori als were established by donations from 20.'! individuals and organi zations. In many cases the bereav ed family has replied to the letter from the college, expressing grati tue that such a permanent me morial is possible. Amounts of gifts are not entered, but names are entered regardless of the amount given. Memorials have been, established by donations of from five cents to $1,000 or over. A new form of memorial began ■■•’is month when a loved one was ■numbered on the anniversarry if his death by a memorial gift. Endowment is vital in the life of Gardriev-W. hb College, and the Book of Memory is playing an important part in growth of the endowment fin d. STANLEY SOLDIER RECENTLY RE-.

NEW GOLDINER'S Exhibit At Morehead Planetarium Sept. 12 An elaborate exhibit commemo rating the memory of Nicholas Copernicus, called the father of modern science by scientists and Croat thinkers, has been loaned by the Polish Embassy in Wash ington to the Moi-ehi d Plrnh tariuni at Chanel Hill for free public display through September 112. The exhibit c> 'itains more than ">0 panels, objects and hooks of the lbth century scientist, econ omist. doctor, law advisers and nainter who is credited with liberating the natural sciences from ancient and mediaeval super stitions and other fetters. Announcement of the exhibit loan was made today by Anthony F. .Jcrrzairo, director of the Plane tarium on the University of North Carolina campus. At the fame time, .ie-tzano announced the openin'.- of four additional and in w scientific exhibits. They include a display of rocks anil minerals collected from vari ou-■ places in the world ami loan ed by i\frs. I.ouise W. Snead of Chapel Hill; a new Life magazine l fi1 m strip showing- in color the j tnetumorp-hisis of an insect : a five foot U. S. Navy model of a mod jern heavy cruiser with accompan ' ing diagrams and explanations loaned by Cdr. I.epn Uilnran of i tht U. S. Naval Reserve detach ment in Durham; and scale models of famous telescopes made by I John F. Comer of (ireensboro, a | member of the Planetarium staff, and Sidney F. I.itwaek of Chapel Hill, formerly a member of the | staff. I The ( nperuici. exhibit was con ceived and pi-epati-d by the Polish government and the University of Krakow last year as Poland oh ' served the 410-th anniversary of Copernicus’ death. The 400th an niversary could not he honored in Poland because of World War II. The memory of Copernicus is ■ _ -ii;ir;.:rt among both scientists a hi economist.^. Before the day of \ telescope.- and with primitive 'wooden instruments, Copernicus developed the theory of the revo lution of the earth ami planets i about the sun. His drawings were ■free-hand, and his computations weer made without the benefit of principles of later matematicians. His ideas denounced, his followers condemned, Copernicus and his theories were substantiated only bv tisje and later day scientists. The present day calendar was de vised by use of his calculations. The telescope models include those of Galileo Galilei, which was the first astronomical telescope made in 1609; the first practical reflecting telescope made by Sir William .Herschel in 1789: the first reflecting type telescope made bv pbr Tssac Newton in 1972; and the twentieth century 200-inch Hale telescope on Mt.
