PAGE EIGHT BROTHER OF ROXBORO MAN , DEPICTS STUKAS _ ((continued from page six) division, gave his Interview at Lovell General hospital. Ledbet ter, who landed with the first allied wave at St. Cloud last year, said enemy bomb?rs machine ‘ gunned him as he lay/ on a stretcher on the battlefield. Dive bombing interrupted medical treatment for three hours, he caid. Pvt. Ledbetter was first report ed as wounded last December, but it was several months be fore members of his family were informed further as to his con dition. He returned to the Unit ed States a few wee&s ago and only a short time before he ar rived he was heard cn a broad cast from a British base hospital, presumably in the British Isles. Describing circumstances of the action in which he was wounded, •Ledbetter said his company had been sent to support British in fantry headed for Mateur when it ran into mortar and machine i gun fire cn three sides. They | were ordered to the rear to re- ! organize and were waiting near j a railroad when the dive bomb- [ ers came. “An enemy barrage was laid j down by dive bombers,” he said. “My tank was hit just as we were going to drop back because the fighting was too hot. Contin uous waves of three to five dive bombers kept coming over and about wiped out three companies of infantry tanks. “The first two bembs landed a few feet from my tank. I started over the side, but the third bomb made a direct hit and | WA\T ADS | Does Your Well Go Dry, Have j one drilled; ycu can depend on it.

He also said that “our | : j failure to solve the labor pro- 1 ■ | blems relating to the auctioning J of tobacco and harvesting of j other essential food crops would put us in the hands of those who would destroy the auction sys tem.” Under the slow-down proposal, l i these flue-cured market opening 1 dates would be effective, provid ed they are approved by the j sales committee of the United !

HedTick, tobacco market ing specialist of the State De partment of Agriculture, shows that the crop in most areas is more than two weeks behind schedule. However, Hedrick’s report stated that the crop in most areas is “satisfactory,”- particularly in YOUNG’S ROXBORO, N.C.

In the Middle and Old Belts, Hedrick’s report showed more than 75 per cent of the crop has been planted. Plenty of plants 1 are available to complete the crop. | Hedrick’s report also said that | virtually all tobacco farmers in ( the State were taking advantage ' of the AAA’s increase cf 5 per | cent in acreage allotments, and i that the growers were working j longer hours in an effort to over come curent labor shortages, j “Farmers generally believe that the labor situation will be j less acute at harvest time and ! are planning their production ac cordingly. Any change in the auction season will be acceptable to most of them,” he said. “However, it is doubtful if the North Carolina markets will be far enough advanced to open the Burley Belt maifkets on the first Monday in December, as has been the custom in the past”, he added. “This is due to the late- Ladies’ Wear LADIES’ SKIRTS Light weight wools - Poplins and Silk Jerseys Special $1.94 -$2.91 -$3.95 LADIES’ SLACKS Asst, colors. 97c a Ladies’ Dress STRAW HATS Cocoanuts, Naturals and Pastel colors Special 97c All Ladies’ Dress SWEATERS Asst, pastel shades. §3.00 value $2.69 BOY’S WASH SinTS Sizes 1 to 10 Good quality 69 c -79 c - 97 c Better Suits (Tommy Tuckers) Special $1.45 Small girl’s Voil and Print DRESSES Sizes 1 to 6'/ 2 69c -97 c - $1.49 Ladies’ BATHING SUITS One and two piece styles, in Black - Blue - Red - Yellow White and two colored combi nations Special $2.91 - $3.95 $4,50 - $4.95 Ladies’ Fruit of Loom PANTIES Ladies’ SHANTUNG BLOUSES Asst, colon and white Special 97c Ladies’ Striped knitted SPORT SHIRTS Cotton ... , 97c SUk ness of the crop in this State and the labor shortages that will be encountered as the season ad vances.” , R.
