Shipyard Employees Giue
3O.6O7.66 To Red Cross

Employees of the North Carolina
Shipbuilding company contributed
$50, 607. Sc, which amounted to 1924
per cent of their $4,000 quota, to
lead all industrial or other divisions
in the recent War Fund campaign
of the American Red Cross here,
officials in charge of the drive said
yesterday.
In addition, the company itself
gave $4,000, it was reported.
Three concerns allied with ~
local shipbuilding industry-W. &
]. Sloan, the u. S. Maritime Com
mission office and the Shipyard
cafeteria-also contributed a total
of 81 ,00.
The campaign at the shipyard
was launched on March Is and con-
tinued through March 30 with inter
est unusually high throughout the
yard. One unit, the Employment
office, reached and surpassed its
quota on the opening day and prac-
tically all the approximately so de.
partments attained their goal with
many going far beyond the original
amount asked. Officials in charge
of the campaign termed it one o.
the best ever conducted there.
One of the features of the ship
yards participation in the War func
was the appearance of Sgt. Will
liam Strayhorn, of Wilmington
former engineer-gunner in the
Eighth Air Force who spent siz
months as a prisoner of war of the
Germans, at two rallies on March
%. He told of the great services
rendered by the American Rec
Cross to men in service, especially
those so unfortunate as to be taker

TOO MUCH RAIN
NEWEST HANDICAP

Farmers, victims of more wealth
er already this spring than orCiiR-
arily happens in a whole year are
beginning to wonder whether they
will ever get a break" before har-
vest.
The latest handicap from Moth
err Nature is excess rainfall, a to-
tai of 1893 inches having fallen so
far this month. Most of it has been
the first three days this week and
as a result many fields are too wet
to work.
In several places water is stand
ing in the fields, it is reported.
Likewise, the streams of the coun-
ty are out of their banks. There
is one consolation however, temp
eratureS are more in keeping with
the season, something of relief
after winter-like weather which
has prevailed.
Weather summary for the past
week is as follows:

PICKUP BALER OWNERS
SET FEES FOR SERVICES

A group of pickup baler owners
met at the office of the Agricul-
tural Extension Service in MaryS-
vile, June z, to discuss rates to be
charged for baling hay and straw
during the 1945 season. This meet
ing was called at the request OF
owners of these machines and aft
er discussing the problems incident
to the work, the group agreed to
the following prices to be charged
for this service.
For baling straw in the field,
the 2-wire balers will get from Is
to IL cents per bale and the 3-wire
outfits, 25 cents. Rates to be
charged for hay will be 2-wire
balerS, IS to 16 cents and 3-wire,
20 to 25 cents per bale. In all cases
where wagon is pulled in connec-
ton with the baler, an additional
charge of 2 cents per bale will be
collected.
Baler owners suggested that
persons planning to have work
done should contact them to learn
the proper way to arrange the field
for the baler, when to cut hay, and
how to prepare it for baling. This
would greatly expedite the work,
saving both time and labor for all
concerned.
