Perhaps the most refreshing tribute
paid Travis for his demeanor as ball
player came from Bill MCGOWAN, dean of
big league umpires, in reply to question
put to him while he was chatting with a
group of soldiers after a USO show a

SUGAR SUPPLY NOW
ON DECREASE IN JAVA

Batavia, Java-East Indies SUI
gar experts disclosed that Java's
sugar stocks were dwindling be-
cause of the current Indonesian
unrest, and Netherlands East
Indies authorities said other ma
tons would be lucky to get any
Java sugar at all.
Britain, the United States and
even the normally sweets-export-
ing Philippines are bidding for a
share of the Java stocks, which
the japanese reported had total
led 100000 tons at the end Of
the war.
The East Indies themselves, re-
lying on Java production, con-
sumo 100000 tons of sugar an
nually, authorities pointed out
and the situation is further com
plicated by the economic uphea'
val attendant upon the IndonesiaI
independence movement.

County Men Buy
Alexander r. r.

Washington - Representative
Robert L. Doughton has announc-
ed that the Statesville- Taylors-
vile line Of the Southern Rail-
road had been purchased by a
group of citizens of Alexander
and surrounding counties for
$509, $50.
Transfer of ownership will be-
come effective within few days
and new ownership under the
title of the Alexander Railroad
Company is expected to begin op-
Grafton within about three weeks,
Doughton said.
A three-man committee repre-
senting the new ownership COM
prised of Senator Hugh G. Mitch
ell of Statesville, Mayor J. Ray
Jennings, and L. P. Zachary of
Taylorsville completed final ne
gotiations with the railroad here.
This sale cu1mates the desire of
Alexander County citizens to
purchase the Statesville- Taylors-
vile line which resulted from an
announcement three years ago
that the Southern would abandon
it as soon as the war emergency
was over.
November 10, upon the request
of group of Taylorsville citizens
and Doughton, Southern Rail
road officials agreed to operate
the line until December 10. Dur
ing the past month, negotiations
with the railroad, the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the
Post Office Department have
been in process for final sale OF
the line.
In joint statement, the COM
mittee representing the Alexan-
der Railway Company announc-
ed that mail and express service
would be conducted in the in
terum period between now and
the time the company takes over
actual operations of the road.
Passenger service, the committee
said, would be undetermined
pending the acquisition of proper
equipment.

Il imagine that sometime in your
life you have watched a blacksmith
shoeing horses. And you probably
remember that he cooled the red hot
shoes from the forge by plunging
them into water. Even in the middle,
of the winter, with the temperature
far below freezing, he never allowed
the shoes to cool in the air. That's
because the shoes had to be cooled
quickly to be of good quality.
Milk has to be cooled quickly,
too, if it is to be of good quality.
Even in the middle of winter,
air-cooline is not fast enough.
Water or an electrical cooler, if
you have one, will always do the
job much better.
Cooling fresh milk down to SO
degrees as quickly as possible is an
important part of your quality pro-
gram. Milk that is not cooled quickly
enough offers a fine opportunity for
bacteria to breed and multiply in
hurry. And. as you know, milk with
a high bacteria count does not
produce high quality dairy products.

Diet Opened by Emperor Present Situation Ex-
 pIained 10 Members

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-The Japanese House of Peers this after noon resolved ito acknowledge the reality of our defeat and ito a way out of the present situation and embark upon a new course of national rebuilding"
 Emperor Hirohito, opening the Diet CparliamenD this morning, call ed opon the Japanese to "surmount the manifold hardships and trials at tending termination of the war, make manifold the innate glory of Japan's national policy, win the confidence of the world" and devote ourselves to reconstruction in every field"
 The Emperor, who appeared brief ly in person at the opening session, did not once use the word "surren- der" in the Imperial rescript as broadcast by the Domei agency, but merely referred to termination of the war and cessation of hostilities." :"
 He said he had directed the minis ters of state to explain the for eign and domestic conditions and the course of events that have led to the extraordinary measure"
 All Japanese were called upon to unite in service to the State with greater zeal than ever"
 The opening session lasted only 25 minutes, but included report on commerce and industry which said that Japanese aircraft production hit a peak of 2,357 per month in June, 1944, and dropped to 1903 last July, according to the Domei broadcasts recorded by the Federal Communi- cations Commission.
 Domei also reported that General Macarthur had ordered the Tokyo radio to suspend immediately all foreign language broadcaSts, confin- ing itself to the Japanese language. The report on this order was broad cast in English, however.
