"OIL IS OUR BUSINESS" ■ . • » ■ . I, KIDD BREWER'S flwndup - -- ■ - NEAR THE TOP . . . Business conditions throughout North Caro lina during the next four months are expected to be about the best we have ever known them in this area of the South. This is the information we get from agricultural and business experts who have made a study of the situation and are watching it develop with keen interest. Fear of a prolonged recession— or perhaps a real old-fashioned depression—caused suppliers last winter and spring to go slow in laying in heavy stocks. Now they are laying in the goods for fall sales. This should mean that our hosiery mills, our cloth mills, our furniture factories, our synthetic fiber outlets will be humming full time again. Another thing. Our crops have never been better. Tobacco is beautiful and is bringing beauti-j ful prices. The peanut crop is the I only one of our big money plant ings said to be not up to par. Even it is looking better than it did a month ago. Corn, cotton, and truck crops are great. So, with what we have on our own—and what we will get in North Carolina from the Federal Government in new and enlarged service camps and from the soil bank and other subsidies—this State should see real prosperity from now right on through Christ mas. We are advised that business people who wish to get in on it should already be well along in their preparations to participate. Those who are too timid, too fear ful, to cautious, may be left at the gate. It is always good to be careful, but the advice we get and! pass along is: Complete your arrangements now for unusually heavy consumer GRAVEYARD OF THE ATLANTIC By DAVID STICK Factual Accounts of Numerous Shipwrecks Along the Outer Banks $5.00 at Your Bookseller or from the D: re Press, Kitty Hawk, N. C. purchases in clothing, cars—used cars, particularly—furniture, and some of the heavier appliances. That means to have the stuff on hand when the customer calls for it, advertise heavily what you have, and promote with real court esy, good public relations and a fair price. ASSIGNMENT . . . One of our friends, the popular Charles S. Edwards of Farmville, makes the September issue of Reader’s Di gest (and $100) with this one: “When I finished basic training at Fort Bragg I had no idea what kind of job I’d be assigned to— for I had been a licensed funeral director and embalmer in civilian life, and at that time all such work was contracted to civilian firms. “But the Army Classification Officer came through in fine style—l was assigned to the Fort Bragg dead-letter office!” 11l . . . Harry Horton of Pitts boro, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Horton, has recently suffer ed two heart attacks and we un derstand is still in the hospital. His father was Lt. Gov. and ran for Governor in 1940. Horton, a sharp young attorney, is the Democratic nominee for the | House from Chatham this time. Since he is only about 38 years of age, his friends are shocked at his illness. Incidentally, he is a son-in-law of Carl Goerch, the husband of Doris. Another son-in-law of the publisher and North Carolina ex pert was in the 1957 Legislature. I That was Edward Powe of Dur ham. He married Sybil. Powe was first elected to the Legislature in 1954. He did not run this time, preferring to spend a little time building up his law practice. THE HOME OF . . . For $2.25, if you live in Greenville, you can purchase a rubber stamp and stamp pad which says: “Greenville, Home of Miss North Carolina”. These stamps are being sold by the Greenville Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Greenville peo ple soon hope to have every piece of mail going out of there running the notice. City pride and a good idea! NOTES . . . You good people who are sending children to col lege this fall might heed a word of warning the University of North Carolina sends along to parents: “Some students are handicapped by too much spending money.” . . . North Carolina, which had a population of 1,893.810 in 1900, had 2,559,123 in 1920, has an offi cial 4,125.518 as of 1950, and is expected to go to about 4,600,000 in 1960 . . . The number of people 75 and over will increase by 55.7 per cent over the 1950 figure, says C. Horace Hamilton, rural sociolo gist at N. C. State . . . One of North Carolina’s most outstanding newspapers—morning and-afternoon—may change hands within the next 12 months . . . plenty of gossip about it in pub lishing circles, but nothing defi nite yet . . . and meantime, an other firm, Piedmont Publishing Co., Gordon Gray’s firm which publishes the Winston-Salem Jour nal and Twin City Sentinel, has been sued by Mary Pickford Rogers and her husband, Buddy Rogers, matinee idol of the 30’s . . . and this latest is a kind of cross-complaint deal involving Piedmont’s interest! etc., in WSJS, WSJS Television. Piedmont had previously sued Mary Pickford and spouse to enforce a contract of sale . . . and from here it looks like no end of litigation and attor ney’s fees. THE COASTLAND TIMES, MANTEO, N. C.
