I just sleep a little lighter".
Yeah: Well everyone has a
different name for "walking
the floor" with a crying baby
at night.

Builders Supply in KInston.

time, but the last time 1 was

Tobacco Quotas By 97V2%
>
Duplin flue-cured tobacco
growers approved continuation
of their production control pro
gram for three more years by
a heavy turnout Tuesday and
voted 97 Vi in favor of quotas on -
the crop for 1965, 1966 and 1967.

Eleven growers voted in fav

two cents per 100 pounds of
peanuts sold to support the

that to have to sell the crop
