Tobacco Growers Are Urgpd
70 Diversity Their Crops

While the tobacco market out
,ok for 1910 is gloomy. there arc
oore bright spots in I'll" picture
han some analysts are able to dis
arn. said Andrew Jameson, pres
;dent of the w. A. Adams Tobacco
company, of Oxford. in discussing
the problem today.
In an address before the oxford
Rotary clue last September, and
also an address before the Hender-
son Rotary club at about that time,
Mr.. Jameson advised that growers
begin at once 10 make preparations
for more crop diVersificatlon. Iooay
he renewed that advice, saying that
solution Of the tobacco marketing
problem was not yet in sig mt.
Existing tobacco stocks: IN
creased by the .ecord crop produced
in 1899, are adequate to meet re-
uuiremcnts Of purchasers OF Amer
lean tobacco for long time, Mr.:
Jameson declared, but he stated
England would not be able to close
her ports to American tobacco and
supply all of her requirements
from Greece and Turkey. because
hose two nation, with combined
production OF 2oO,000,000 pounds,
did not produce enough tobacco to
.upply the British market. The
United States is the best market
Turkey and Greece have for their
tobacco, Mr.. Jameson said.
The market for dark Virginia
tobacco, which formerly existed in
Germany and Italy, has been viz
ually closed since the first World
War, according to Mr.. Jameson,
citing statistics to show that Italy
imported from so to IS million
pounds annually prior TO the war.
No American tobacco has been
hipped to Japan since the tall Of
1887, Mr.. JamiesCn said. explaining
he policies Of the japanese govern
rcnt in China might further in
Glucnce the japanese market for
American tobacco, which now is
crippled also by an unfavorable
exchange rate.

To Resume
Next Monday

White and cUlOrcd schools Of Hen
dCrSOn and of Vance county, closed
since Wednesday morning on account
u me heavy SHOWS, will resume class
work next Monday, according to pre-
sent plans. IT was hoped by school
authorities that the weather Will
rave moderated sufficiently by Mon
day to permit school buses to get
through so that rural schools can
start, and there was little doubt that
the city group would resume, unless
here should be a further cold wave
or snow to Interfere.
The present cessation is the first of
the l939-40 school term due 10
weather conditions. No effort was
made to operate the rural schools
Wednesday morning, following the
blizzard Tuesday night that brought
twelve inches of snow, as school
trucks were unable TO get through.
Attendance was so very poor at the
city schools that they were suspended
promptly and the few children who
lid report were sent back home.

A FEW THINGS
YOU'VE HEARD BEFORE

Sensible driving is the only cure for
major traffic accidents.
Sure, you've heard that before. voiced

can think up. Maybe it's so trite YOU
don't want to read any farther A lot
of people won't
But then, so will 4 lot of people be
dead before the end of this year. killed
IN automobile accidents.
Mostly, their trouble will have been
that they could never imagine an acci-
dent happening TO them. To the other
fellow, yes. To somebody they don't
know-somebOdy who is just a name in
the newspaper-certainly But to them?
Unthinkable,
Nevertheless, they will be dead And
they will be lust a name in the news
paper to somebody else.
Next time You 90 out in Your automo-
bile. remember that accidents happen
when You aren't expecting them. That's
why they are called accidents.
Next time You drive down the street.
past an intersection, imagine what would
have happened II that fellow in the other
car there hadn't slowed down, or come
to a stop. Be brutal about it. Imagine
what it would feel like to have your
chest crushed by the automobiles heavy
engine, or your bones broken and your
face cut by twisted metal and flying
glass.
Remember, automobile accidents are
personal things-to those involved in
them. Sometimes. of course. those in
volved do not know it, and possibly they
don't care. They're dead But some
times they just suffer.
Some people, if they've read this far,

that's his hard luck: if he kills somebody
else. that's his hard luck too-because
he'll probably go to prison. You can't
help what Jones doeS-but YOU certainly
can help what YOU. yourself. do.
There wouldn't be any accidents if
every motorist in the world followed one
simple rule
Never trust the other driver-drive
always as if the other chap is trying to
cause an accident and you're trying to
avoid it

Willis Thornton's Editorial On:
Arnold Wanted More

obvious fact That Mr.. Arnold'S drive
against building trusts has already
saved the country considerable sums
and predicted that continuation OF
the drive will mean savings OF
hundreds of millions of dollars to
the consuming public
And after this charming eulogy.
the committee promptly cut off
something like $4,000 from Mr..
Arnold's appropriations request, al
though the sum allocated was Sal 900
more than original budget estimates.
The committee knows it is true
that building costs for the small
home owner will fall substantially
If Mr. Arnold can continue and
broaden his campaign. Billions of
United States dollars have been
spent far more carelessly than Mr..
Arnold is spenGing his comparatively
small allotment. 1t would have
been better to give the assistant
encouragement what he needs and
let him return it hundrcdfold by
reducing building costs.
