1fr '&**** Bt BIG jm — The man eats, breathes, and sleeps politics. It isn't unusual for him to buy a half-dozen of the state’s big Sunday papers “just to keep up with things”. He will put something of the blush of youth—without the blush—in a rapidly aging Council of State. Jim Gra- i ham. the new Agriculture Commissioner, is a mountain ; of a man wrho looks, walks < and talks like a Texan He < can chew and spit as well as ; Kerr Scott ever did. t His daddy told me the day t he was sworn in that he I brought Jim to Raleigh “when 1 the boy was not more than 10 or 11 years old”. After j a little visit with William A r Graham, Jim blurted out to i his father that some day he r meant to be “Agriculture ( Commissioner of this here f state”. i Almost every day from that r day forward — and certainly I for thre past 20 years—Jim t Graham had a burning, gnaw- i ing yearning to be Commis sioner of Agriculture. Gov- j emor? No, not interested. a Senator? No! v “I want to be Agriculture o Commissioner, man! I want I that and nothing but that”, c Jim would say to almost any v body who would listen. v Had he not been blessed 1 with just a lot of common r horse sense and a knowledge t of, and respect for. the late 1 L. Y. Ballentine’s savvy and political sense, Graham would r have opposed him in the _ Democratic Primary this year. „ t 1 I a C c f g li t: u s s It f li Grovemont Grocery Phillips 66 Gas and Oil We Give S&H Green Stamps We are here to serve you.

Aug. 13—The Great At lantic & Pacific Tea Co. an nounced today its plans to build a $4,500,000 bakery in Charlotte. A&P said its National Bakery division has acquired a six-acre site for the plant at Hovis and Tar Heel roads and construction is expected to begin early this fall. The 148-000 square foot facility will consolidate the division’s present bakery operations now located in three buildings at 817-822 and 900 Hill street in Charlotte. “The new bakery will pro vide the expanded production that has been indicated by the growing customer demand for Jane Parker baked pro ducts”, said James H. Nichols vice president of the Char lotte unit. “This new opera tion will enable us to pro duce a million pounds of as sorted bakery products week ly for our 234 stores in the North and South Carolina areas.” The two and three-level structure of reinforced con crete and brick was designed by A&P’s engineering depart ment and J. N. Pease Asso , ciates of Charlotte. In order to prevent air borne contamination from en tering the production areas of the plant, all the air will be filtered and heated. The interior walls of buff-colored ceramic tile and the red , vitreous shale brick floors re present the ultimate in sani tation and cleaning ease, company officials said. A special illuminating sys tem to simulate daylight will be installed in the bakery. All fluorescent fixtures will be mounted flush with the ceiling to eliminate dust catching surfaces. By D. C. Nichols Field Representative Attention! all you folks who work for wages. At the end of each calendar year your employer furnishes you with a Form W-2 (Withhold ing Tax Statement). Since this form contains informa • tion about your Social Secur ity, it’s a good idea to check i each year and make sure your name and social secur i ity account number appear . correctly on the form. And also, if you want to check your social security account . you can do so with a handy ■ postcard Form 7004 which you can get from your Social , Security office, or the repre . sentative from that office. Attention! household or . domestic workers. Do you , know you can receive social , security credits for your work i as a household employee if you earn at least $50 cash . wages in a three-month “cal . endar quarte”? If you work ■ in or about your employer’s i home as a baby sitter, maid, . cook, gardener, or other do > mestic employee — make . sure your employer has your , correct social security num ber, along with your name, I so he or she can report your i wages for social security , credit. 1 If you have any question about this—call, write, or . visit the Asheville social security office, or meet the representative from that of fice. rRY THE CLASSIFIEDS I I » Schedule For !
