BLUE WEATHER.

Somebody, We forget who, once
wrote a sonnet or song or story, we
forget which, that contained the
following phrase, something We'll
never forget:
"October's bright blue weather"
Why this phrase and not its
author or context should stick in
our mind is obvious: II describes
in just four words the most delight
full season of the year, and it does
the job SO we'll that author and con
text sink back into the shadow of
anonymity under its bright blue
glow.
When we say "the most delight
full season of the year" we mean,
of course, to us. This is one time
when we are not deliberately try
ing to start a controversy. All you
folks may choose any season you
like. We'll take October and its

the other hand, though, We hope

to select the summer, winter, or

JETER OUTLINES
NEED FOR PLANTS
Agricultural Gains OF State
Outstrip Industry,
Jaycees Hear

North Carolina is one of the most
forward states in the nation in
agricultural production, and n
of the most backward in process
ing those products on its home
grounds" F. H. Jeter, economist,
author, and lecturer of the Univer-
sity Of North Cardinals agriculture
extension service, declared last
night as he addressed the Whining
ton Junior Chamber of Commerce
at it's weekly supper meeting.
Jeter's speech climaxed a crowd
ed Jaycee session which saw the
induction of six new members and
the presentation of a $500 check
to Emmett Bellamy, head of the
New Hanover county tuberculosis
association, for the fight against
the dread lung disease.
Praise Research
Lauding the farmers and agri-
cultural research men for thei-
work in making North Carolina an
outstanding agricultural state,
Jeter denounced the APATHY" OF
the states businessmen in failing
to bring processing plants within
its borders.
Here in New Hanover county
you grow some of the finest beans
in the world, but you send them up
north at harvest time, and next year
you eat those same beans out of
cans that went through northern
processing plants" he said. "Those
beans should be processed and
canned right here in Wilmington"
Driving his point home to the
Jaycees, Jeter declared that North
Carolina is on the eve of a great
new scientific era in agriculture"
but that era will be only half-reali-
zed if 1--WE merely produce without
processing"
Jeter was introduced to the gath
ering by H. A.. Patrill, former Jay
Gee member.
Check Presented
The check for $500 was presented
to Bellamy by vi LeGwin, chair
man of the P-ofit-Making Projects
committee. The money represented
the profit made from the recent
Guv Lombardo dance. Bellamy &C
cepted the check with deep appre-
citation for the Jaycees' contribu-
ton to the battle against tubercu-
losis.
