eral HOSPITALITY under control of g

To make. the grade imposed by the

COMMUNITY CHEST
MEET NOT SET YET
Collections Not Sufficient
To Pay Fourth Quarter
Installments

No meeting has been called as yet
for the officers and directors of the
Henderson Community Chest to make
up budget, elect officers for the new
year and arrange for the annual fall
campaign, Sam Afford, secretary
treasurer, said today. The call for the
meeting is being held in allegiance
pending collection of unpaid pledges.
Three quarterly distributions have
been made to all agencies sharing in
the fund, but there is not quite enough
on hand now to make the last pay
ment for the year in full. A collec-
tor is calling on delinquents and some
hundreds of dollars more will be re
CURED to reach the goal.
Mr.. Afford said that reports had
ing the fund and that none would be
included in the new budget unless an
accounting was made as to disburse
ments the past year.
Efforts are being made, it is I'm
derstood, to include the Red Cross
Roll Call drive in the fund for the
coming year. If done, that would eli
inmate one "drive" for funds that has
rot done away with last fall with the
advent of the Community Chest.
The budget for the past year, first
in the history of Henderson, was az
proximately $780, 1t is not antici-
pated that there will be much, if any
increase, for the coming year, accord
ing OF Mr.. Afford. c. O. Seifert is chair
man of the chest organization.

Prices held firm and advanced on
the Henderson tobacco market on
Thursday, official figures for which.
announced today by Fred M. Allen,
sales supervisor, showed a sale OF
1888 pounds for $70,892.90 at an
average of $24.65 per hundred pounds.
The market had offerings today
that were expected to require the en-
tire day for sale. Mr.. Allen estimated
the break at 100000 pounds, and said
prizes being paid were holding strong.
A new hour for the close of the
sales period was inaugurated on
Thursday, with all activities ceasing
at 4:30 p. M, instead of 5 p. m, the
hour has been followed since the
opening nearly a month ago. The adj
vanced hour for closing was fixed be-
cause of the shorter days as winter
approaches. The new closing time for
daily sales was adopted in coopera-
ton with Durham and Oxford, the
other two large markets of the Mid
ole Belt.
Much good quality leaf was on the
floors of the warehouses for today's
sales, Allen stated, predicting another
high average.
Some estimates are that the mar
ket has now sold nearly half of the
tobacco that will be marketed here
during the present season. Sales thro-
ugh today amounted to more than
100000 pounds, and estimates OF to-
bacco men are that not more than TO-
