Supt. S. Ray Lowder (above) who
has been named county chairman for
the emergency food collection, today
issued the following statement rela-
tive to the drive, which ends May 49,:
1.-The emergency food collection has
been undertaken because many peo-
pie in this country want to make a
direct and personal contribution to
help prevent starvation. More than
half billion persons are in need of
food in Europe and the Far East. We
are facing the most critical situation
in respect to food that this world has
ever known. Only human misery and
chaos can result if America does not
meet this challenge.
1--WE are asked to give foods pack
ed in tin cans or money with which
to buy this food. This appeal is made
to every person in Lincoln county.
Every school is asked to act as a COL
lection agency and every church is
asked to make this need known to its
people.
Foods can be delivered to B. C.
Moore & Sons store in Lincolnton or
to any school building in Lincolnton
and Lincoln county. All money do
nations should be turned in to your
school, church or county chairman.
'We hope to meet this request as
We have all others. Saturday, May
18th is the final day of this drive.

ARMY RECEIVES BAD REPORT CARD

Hotel chain, was appointed shortly
after VJ-D. Its survey covered the
period from Sept. a to Oct. 20, 1945.

In releasing the report, the War
Department said steps already had
been taken to correct some of the
conditions criticized by the experts
especially food spoilage and over
stocking. The Department noted that
the latter conditions had developed
during the rehabilitation period.
To improve Army food manage
ment and handling, the committee
recommended that pay rates anc
working conditions be made more at
tractive "to compensate for the hare
work and long hours" 1t specific

Cherryville-Lincolnton
Game Is Rained Out

A combination of chilly weather,
wet grounds, and rain caused the
Cherryville-Linc high Western
Conference game to be called off in
the last half of the third inning here
Friday night with the locals leading
8 to 2.
The game began under adverse
weather conditions-chilly and damp
and more suitable for football than
baseball, and proceedings had to be
halted when the light rain that be-
gan in the second inning developed
into a heavy downpour in the third
frame, causing the playing field to
become unsuitable for play. As re-
suit of the postponement the game
will be replayed here the night of
May 21st.
Cherryville grabbed an early lead
in Friday nights tilt, tallying twice
in the opening frame on two hits, an
error, stolen base, and base on balls.
The locals came back in their half
of the second inning to register eight
runs, taking advantage of wildness
on the part of the Cherries pitcher,
Rudisill, who walked five Lincolnton
swingers, and gave up duo-scoring
hits by Rudisill and Baker, in the g.
run assault before being relieved.
Heafner was on the mound for the
locals, and after the shaky first in
ming, was pitching effectively when
the rains came.
Games This Week

from home this week, meeting Kings

row Tuesday, and Cherryville in

Duplan Corporation
Announces $450,OOO
Expansion Program
Expansion Program Will Bring
Jobs For Fifty Additional
Persons in Local Plant

J. Edward Little, local manager of
The Duplan Corporation, announced
today that some time ago the COM
pany started large $450,0OO ex-
pansion in its spinning mill in Lin
colntOn, and that the buildings are
being increased to accommodate over
200 looms for the weaving of fabric
to give the company an efficient and
integrated manufacturing operation.
The office is being relocated and the
excavation for the main addition to
the mill is now completed
Duplan, weavers and throwers,
have total of eight mills in both
the South and the North. This is the
second important mill expansion
which the company is making in
North Carolina. In Winston Salem
the company is building a large
nylon throwing mill for the prepar-
alton of yarn for hosiery knitting.
This doubles the capacity of the
present plant in that city which has
been operated for number of years.
The enlarging of the Lincolnton
mill has been planned and was start
ed some time ago, but it was only
recently that it was possible for the
construction materials to be obtain
ed and the equipment acquired.
The construction now in progress
increases the floor space for yarn
manufacturing, for additional card
ing machines, twisters, and other
yarn preparation machines, all of
which will be installed as quickly as
the building is completed. This will
give balanced production and pro-
vide yarn for the new looms which
are of the newest model.
These looms will be operated in
new two floor building 105 feet wide
and 275 feet long.
The expansion of the mill will
bring jobs for at least fifty additional
people who will be employed in the
yarn manufacturing and weaving
operations. The company is one of
the leading organizations in its en-
ployee relations policies, and has de-
veloped many new ideas and plans
for the benefit of the men and wom-
en- who work in its mills.
