Harold D. Eide, one of Norway's
pioneers in SpitZbergen, comes here
on October 10, to tell of his expert
ences in helping to COLOMBO that bar
rem spot, the nothernmost permanent
habitation of white men. This is the
second number on the Lions weekly
program for benefit of their blind
fund Mr. Eide will Ice at the high
school auditorium tomorrow night
Spitzbergen Is the only polar colony
that has ever been a real commercial
success, and to the grit of men like
Eide, determined to build a town,
develop the coal mines, and live there,
belongs the credit. Explorers discover
ed coal there long ago, but the party
which Harold Eide joined as a lad
in his teens made the initial attempt
to get out coal in commercial guam
titles and live through the winter on
an everyday basis.
They made this venture without
airplanes, electricity, radio, or any of
the civilized comforts that have made
modern polar expeditions more bear
able. Ede's tale of the rescue, dur
ing the middle of the long winter
night, of party of fishermen who
had been stranded on the north shores
of the island, is an epic in itself.
Today, as a result of this pioneer
ing, Norway takes from Spitzbergen
every year about a half million tons
of coal, and a permanent community
of men, women and children lead an
interesting and comfortable life far
from their kinsmen on the northern
tip of Norway. They are still COM
pletely isolated during the long win
ter night, when there is complete
darkness for months on end, and the
thermometer registers unbelievably
low.
Mr.. Eide's address is illustrated Ky
pictures which he himself took dur
ing his stay there, with no thought
of any but mis- personal enjoyment.
He takes audiences into his confid-
ence as he unfolds this strange tale
of a life in what seems like another
world

ALL-DAY SALE OF
TOBACCO IN TOWN
Fridays Block Disposed of
as First Business as New
Week Opens

More than half million pounds of
tobacco was expected to be hold on
the Henderson market today, and,
Judging by prices being paid during
the forenoon, the average should be
between 30 and 80 cents per pound,
r. w. Mcfarland, sales supervisor,
stated at noon.
A full days sale was on the floor
in new tobacco, but before that could
be handled the block of last Friday
had to be sold off in houses that were
not completed that day. 1t is estimat-
ed that close to 100000 pounds of
Fridays offerings had to be sold off
today.
Mr. Mcfarland said there was
good deal of very fine leaf on ware
house floors today, and that this ought
to lift averages sharply. Last Fri
days actual sales amounted to 563,216
pounds, and for the week the total
was 2,255,456 pounds, and for the sea-
son through last Friday the figure
stood at 11,440,650 pounds. Todays
sale was expected to put the season
total right at 100000 pounds.
Price averages through Friday for
the entire season were $28.22 per hun
dred pounds. For the week the
price was $28.58 per hundred.
