ate Committee on Counties, Cities
and Towns voted faVorably today
on a bill by Senator Penny Of Gull
ford, to allow the State and local
governmental units to purchase sur
plus government supplies without

The only opponent was Senator
Blythe Of Mecklenburg, who aid

advertise for at least n week to
prevent undue haste in purchasing
surplus equipment. His amendment
to that effect was defeated.
The House Roads Committee in
strt,cted Chairman Bridger of Blad-
en- to appoint a subcommittee to
study a measure by Representative
Umstcad Of Orange to earmark Sl5,-
00Q, 600 for county rOatS.
The Joint agriculture committee
approved an additional %appropria-
ton of $3.50, 400 to the N. C. Extern
sion Service. much Of it to be used
for Negro county and home agents,
and other Negro work. An addi-
tional appropriation Of about S73,-

that conducted by the Extension
Service, was approved.

ASBURY CHURCH PAINTED
Exterior Being Painted White with
Gold Decoration on Steeple

Asbury Methodist Church is pre-
senting an entire change in its
newly decorated windows and
doors. For many years the wood
work of the outside of the church
has been a dark brown with little
if any contrast against the brick.
The newly-painted job is in white
and all metal Gaping up the side
of the 125-foot steeple is white,
giving the entire church very
pleasing finish. The weather vane
is refnished in gold leaf. Asbury
was rebuilt IA years ago and the
new finish gives the church a look
quite in keeping with its age.
Bishop Foster dedicated the rebuilt
church and steeple in 1872. Sew
eral months ago the entire interior
of the church was redecorated. A
new organ has been ordered and
will be installed as son as supplies
needed in building it are released
by the government.

RISE IN LABOR DAY, TRAFFIC

Motor traffic over Delaware's

As per cent greater than for the

one mile south of Greenwood, all
tabulated traffic at an increase
over 1914. Tabulations were &c.
SIC vehicles at the Smyrna count

per cent less than in 1941 when a
total of 104,725 vehicles were
counted.

men in the rural areas to carry on
programs for the betterment of
their homes and communities. Mrs.

RECORD POTATO
CROP EXPECTED
Early Crop Perishable and
Should Be Used AS Soon
as Possible
STORAGE SPACE LIMITED

Latest report on the 1945 potato
crop shows an upward revision of
production estimates. 1t places the
total 1915 crop early, intermediate
and late at 420, 100000 bushels in
stead of 40S,000,000 as indicated in,
July. Only in 1928 (427,249,000
bushels) and 1943 (464, 999, 000-was
the crop now in prospect exceeded.
Last year, about 379,436,00 bush
els comprised the total crop, and
annual production averaged 1885,
091,O 900 bushels during 1934-43. The
intermediate crop is expected to
total 1928 million bushels instead of
the previously estimated. 30.5 mill
lion. This compares favorable with
the 22.7 million bushels produced
in 1914, and the 1922 million BUSH
els averaged during the 10-year
period (1934-43). Full use immed-
lately of intermediate potatoes is
urged. These potatoes are of good
quality and not nearly as perish
able as he early crop. But al
though many are storable, they do
not keep as well as the late variet-
les. In addition, storage facilities
are now fairly limited. Potatoes
harvested in hot summer months
can only be stored in cool places.
Biggest supplies of intermediate
potatoes are in the Northeastern
area, especially Long Island, New
Jersey, Maryland and Delaware.
Homemakers will benefit, because
prices are way below ceiling, and
potatoes can be served in many
different ways.
