Utility Commission hearing by Ran
dial B. Etheridge, chief OF the o1ate
Department of Agriculture's market
ing division.
Though the three companies pres
ent varying routes in their pehuons
the objective is to connect the eastern
truck farms area with North Will
kesboro and that section OF western
Carolina, with the Raleigh-AshebOro
highway link as the principal bone
of contention.
In testifying before Commissioner
Stanley Winborne, Etherldge salo
that route of the kind sought would
give farmers of the Wilmington area
and the farming section between the
New Hanover county seat and Colds
boro fine market for their produce
This produce is now brought into
North Wilkesboro and vicinity from
South Carolina, he said. Such route
would not put the eastern farmers
in competition with those OF the I'M
mediate North WilkesbOro section

produce the same things at the same
time.

Move Upward

this fall if referendum is held again
This was the general concensus OF
opinion of farmers here and IN sew
eral other eastern markets today as
they watched tobacco sold for prices
ranging from two cents a pound for
the poorest grades to around 81 cents
for the better quality weed.
Though the majority of the farm
ers refused to be quoted for pub
lication they spoke freely of the eff
fects of the low prices on probable
control referendum this fall and pro-
fessed to believe that the prices
would win many farmers over to the
side of control who had voted against
such a measure last fall.
State Senator Paul Grady, of Ken
ly, who sold some tobacco on the To-
cal market said that he thought that
if prices fell below 16 cents many
a farmer would vote for control this
fall who had not voted for it last
year. Grady also said that he thought
the prices paid were good for the
quality of the tobacco offered.

ALL AVENUES OF TRAVEL

Berlin, Aug. 23.-(AP)-Al ave-

jammed today with French and Brit
tish citizens and other foreigners
fleeing in fear of war. No seats in
airplanes could be obtained after
early morning. Trains ran through
out the day with corridors filled.
British and French citizens were
advised by their local diplomatic Of
ficials to leave Germany. The French
step followed upon a direct order
transmitted from Paris to the French
ambassador, Robert Coulondre.
American residents besieged con-
sular and diplomatic officials asking
for advice. Invariably they were told
that United States officials have no
information on which to give coun-
sci. Many tourists in Berlin, how.

officials. This is the group, it ap-
pears, which will be represented at
the board hearing by Lumberton's
Judge L. r. Varser, = one-time Su-
preme Court justice.
There are apparently authentic
reports that the commission made
increases in the salaries Of certain
rural superintendent, but these
hikes were not enough to satisfy
those concerned. It is pointed out
there was clear legislative intent
in the 1889 General Assembly to
put county superintendent pay on
full and complete parity with the
stipends paid city officials, and it
is contended that the commission
has not quite carried out this intent
There is no certainty that other
interested groups will not want to
be heard, though as far there has
been little talk Of any controversy
over application Of $4,000 of the
$269,000 to a partial bridging Of the
gap of some 80 per cent now exist
ing between the salary schedules Of
white and negro teachers holding
the same certificates and doing the
same work.
Quite naturally not all the Negro
teachers or. leaders are satisfied
with the reported amount which
will be used in reducing differen-
tials in pay. There are radicals in
their number VINO insist that the
present differf tials in schedules
should be completely eliminated,
even if it called for reduction in
white teacher salaries to provide for
the elimination.
This radical group, however, is in
a decided minority among the Neg
roes, who are school-minded, and
who feel that there is much more to
be gained by a policy of conciliation
and compromise than by any dras-
tic action which would ALLEVIATE the
support Of powerful white groups
which now agree with them in prin-
ciple, and who are willing to pro-
ceed. albeit somewhat cautiously, in
0ractice in an effort to close the
existing gap.
Whether the class room teachers
will send representatives to the
Education Board meeting is prob
'ematical. There has developed a
vide difference Of opinion within
this class about where additional in
creasements should be applied to
salary scales. Some want more pay
COR STARTERS" in the profession
Some contend that a teacher reaches
maximum efficiency about the
fourth year of experience and seek
highest pay for that bracket. Others
