Leaf Prices
Encouraging g
Appear To Be AS
Good Or Better
Than Georgia Av-
erages Week Ago

Border Belt tobacco prices have
ent additional encouragement and
frightened the economic picture here
for the fall selling season on the local
tobacco market. At this distance, 1t
appeared that the prices on the North
Carolina-South Carolina markets, six
teen of them in all, were about like
those on the Georgia markets that
opened a week earlier.
Also like the Georgia belt, early Of
ferings were exceptionally heavy,
with some markets reporting new
high records for all time for single
day. Quality of the border leaf was
reported good for the opening, with
prospects that the crop for the entire
season in that belt will be of very
good quality.
Some rs or 30 Henderson buyers,
warehousemen and others are station
ed at various points on the Border
Belt markets, and are getting first
hand information as to the price stu
alton. Many of them were expected
home over the weekend to be with
their families, and will return late
Sunday to their stations.
AS ~DI0DdIdJlOIlS WGIIL lOIWdIQ IIGIC
for the opening of the selling season
on Tuesday, September 13, a little
more than five weeks away, there
was optimism that the crop will bring
a good price, despite the ravages of
rains and otherwise unfavorable
weather conditions during the grow
ing period. The leaf has shown re-
markable "Comeback" facilities in
the past few weeks. That has been es-
pecia.ly true of the later crop. Cur
ings, now we'll under way throughout
the county, are turning out good
grade of leaf, with excellent color, but
very light in weight, according to to-
baccO men.
Border Belt sales got under way
last Thursday, and prices for the
two days before the end of the week
were estimated at an average oi
aruond 25 to 27 cents a pound, some
markets even claiming better than
that.

To Camp Balance Ro ok All Next Week

rather new, having been set up in
1888. There are As offices in the State
having regular personnel OF about
300. The employment service is the
first agency in the State to use the
merit system for selecting all of it's
personnel Albright said. The qualify
ing requirements are high and state
wide training program is carried on
to enable the employment service to
render a more professional service to
employee and employer alike.
The purpose of the employment SER
vice is to aid the unemployed worker
in finding suitable work and to furn-
ish qualified workers to employers in
need of them. Another purpose, he
stated, was to take persons off the
public relief rolls and place them in
private, gainful employment where
possible and to conserve the unem-
ployment compensation fund for en-
ployerS by returning their unemployed
workers to private industry as rapid
ly as possible A worker is not elig-
ibe to draw unemployment compen-
sation if suitable work is available
for him.
Mr. Sasser said one purpose of the
employment service was to aid the
unemployed veteran in securing suit
able employment just as much as the
younger worker. It is becoming in
creasingly more difficult for the man
over 40 to get back into industry and
trade once he loses his job, and
Sasser urged members of the Kiwanis
club and the people of Henderson to
cooperate with the local officers of
the employment service in aiding this
particu ar group to return to gainfall
employment, and to give them pre-
ference, provided they are as we'll
qualified to do the job as a, younger
man.
Mr.. Young gave statistics on the
work of the Henderson office of the
company.
Activity from January through
July 81 included 2,251 new registra-
tons and 1879 renewals. Personal
visits in the area he gave as 1917,
with an average personnel of eight in
the offices of the district This he said
was an individual load of 9139, or
more than 1000 persons per month per
staff member.
Placements during the period were
given as 33 men and 81 women in
regular jobs and 81 men and 70 wo-
men in temporary employment, both
in private work, and 251 men and
three women in public work jobs. The
total regular was 81 and temporary
131, or 1913 in private employment,
and 254 in public works, or a total
of 452 placements
The active balance showed for
Vance county January 1, 1888, 625
men, 4O4 women and % veterans, a
total of 1,O29. The active balance July
81, 1888 was 1858 men, 1926 women
and SO veterans, a total of 2,919.
Albright, Sasser and Young were
all guests of Mr.. Suggs. H. w. Pow
ers, of Moyock, was a guest of c. L.
Mackcy. The meeting was held in the
clubs quarters in the Horner building,
with w. r. Horner, club president,
presiding, and with an attendance of
80 percent of the membership.

HEAVY RAIN FALLS
FRIDAY AFTERNOON
Lightning Reported Strik-
ing In Places But No
Serious Damage

One of the heaviest rainfalls in re-
cent months was experienced here
late Friday afternoon, when LBS
inches was measured in about an hour
and a half, according to announce
ment today by H. L. Allen, official
Weather Bureau observer.
Mr.. Allen said the maximum tenn
perature for the day Friday was 81
degrees, although most people thought
it was considerably more than that.
The air was heavily charged with
humidity, which caused greater suffer
ing, according to the weather observer
The late Friday storm was accom-
panied by severe electrical display
at times, and there were several un-
usually loud crashes of thunder. The
lightning was believed to have struck
once or twice, though no serious dam
age was reported today from any
source.
A considerable decline in tempera-
ture accompanied the storm, and Fri
days high had not been reached up
to noon today, though the sun had
shined much of the forenoon.

Officials of the North Carolina
State Employment Service were
sneakers at the weekly dinner meet
ing of the Henderson Kiwanis club
FRIDAY evening, telling about the ope-
ration of the service here and over the

of the service, was the chief speaker
followed by Frank M. Sasser, vete-
rams placement representative; Al
fred H. Young, of Raleigh, district
manager; and George M. Suggs, man
ager of the local office.
Suggs, a Kiwanian, was in charge
of the program for the meeting.
II was also announced at the meet
ing that plans had been completed
for the sending of 25 underprlvlleged
boys to Camp Balance Rock during
the coming week, starting tomorrow
Several members of the club financed
one bows keep individually for the
entire week. 1t was stated that Rev.
L. w. Hughes, rector of Holy lnno-
cents Episcopal church ,and former
Kiwanis president, would hold vesper
services at the camp Sunday even
ing at 7 o'clock while the boys are
there. The boys from North Hender-
son will leave from Hight's store and
those from South Henderson from
Southside Drug Store, both departing
at 2:45 p. m. The club plans to hold
its regular weekly dinner next Fri
day evening at the camp while the
boys are there.
The employment service officials
explained the workings of that organ
ization, showing how it had been
built ur from nothing in 1888 to its
present status, and how many thou
sands of unemployed men and women
in the State had been furnished work.
some in private jobs and others on
public works, and some permanent
and some Temporary. Extensive sta
tistics were given for the local office.

Approval of projects costing $lzz'-

ceived here Application will be made
at once to the Federal government for
