Tobacco Quota Election

FIue-cured tobacco growers are to
hold an election today in which they will
decide for themselves whether the
quota program shall be continued or
abandoned. In the opinion of R. Flake
Shaw, executive secretary of the North
Carolina Farm Bureau Federation. the
outcome of the election will not onlv
affect the welfare of the growers next
year, but largely determine their econo-
mic position throughout the postwar
period.
In a bulletin sent to all growers,
Mr.. Shaw, in his official capacity, says
in part:
THE North Carolina Farm Bureau
Federation, from the beginning, has
sponsored and fought for acreage ~
trol on tobacco, and has insisted on
strict regulations to insure compliance.
The law itself provides that quotas. in
ofoer to be effective, must be approved
IN a secret referendum by at least sixty

oacco producers. The tobacco control
program is fair to all farmers: small
larmers' tenants, sha~re-croppers, as
well as the landlords. It is even fair To
the new farmer who desires to come
llto the program because under the law
as much as five per cent annually mav

landlord, tenant, or share-cropper. has
one vote. In 1913, farmers, overwhelm-
lngly expressed themselves in favor of
a control program for 1914, 1945.
n 1916 by a vote of wei 9 to !. In
recognition of this, Congress directed
that quotas be proclaimed Tor these
years. And now Congress has given
us an opportunity to vote on our pro-
gram for 1947, 1913, and 1949."
The most important consideration
today is that all flue-cured tobacco
growers cast their ballots, so that the
decision at the polls may represent the
true majority opinion in the Industry,
Anything less would be undemocratic.

Faulty Fire Escapes

Fire Chief Ludie Croom's report
to Acting City Manager Benson shows
that more than the waterfront OF Will
mington needs attention, 80 far as
fire hazards and the safety OF persons
endangered by fire are concerned. The
chief made reference to buildings where
fire escapes are either insecure or In
accessible from the inside because OF
bars in windows which should give &C.
cess to them, and others where the
ladder from the second story to the
ground is fastened up and can not be
let down readily.
1t is not unreasonable to view them
as a double hazard, in as much as
persons seeking escape upon them in
emergency and cornered by approach
ing flames, would have their escape cut
off by the very means they had every
reason to believe would afford them
safety.
Aside from the possible sacrifice of
life, which no building owner would will
ingly cause, it would be good business
to replace or reconstruct defective fire
escapes if only to avoid costly damage
suits brought by anyone injured in
using them or burned because they
could not use them. Chief Groom with
full support of the Council, is to be ex-
pected to see that all owners of build
ings having fire escapes comply with
the city's laws and make whatever re-
pairs or requirements are needed as
quickly as materials are available.
1t is useless to plead that Whining
tons fire record is so good that no dis
astrous blaze is to be feared. True
though it be that the city has had
no disastrous downtown fire in years,
Wilmington is no more immune from
the possibility of conflagration than
any other city. No means of protection
for the people in a fire emergency
should be neglected a day longer than
necessary.

with me up in the composing room
with the linotype machines punct-

Mr.. Lewis, who lives in White

with his linotype machine. There
fore, he bundled up all his copy
for this weeks Chadbomn paper
and brought it down here. The

they'd finished setting the type
for Thursdays Star, pitched in
and set Mr.. Lewis type for him.
But it wasn't particular about
neWspapering Mr.. Lewis and l
were talking although we did note,
conversationally, that Tabor City
has started a new paper, The

ness leaders as you'll find in any
town of it's size in the country, and
probably even more.
At the risk of sighting somebody,
to whom I make apologies in ad-
vance, I'd like to name you a few
Mr.. Lewis and 1 mentioned. Be-
sides Mr.. j. L. Lewis, who worked
long and hard for Tabor Citys pres.
ent name, there are Will Cox, Roy
HARRISON, Ruther Bruton, Kranz
HARRISON, Roscoe Coleman, Frank
McGougan, Alton Garrell, Marvin
Soles, Bob Garrell, Ben Nesmith,
Buck Peay, Percy Brown, Paul
Rogers, and others who've pushed
hard, individually and collectively,
to give Tabor City hustle.
AS say, I'm sure there're others
whose names escape me at the
moment. And there have been
some Who've passed along who
aided in building the town. Among
these were Will and Waterbury
Roberts, Charlie Soles and Roland
Baldwin.
These men have builded well,
which reminds me that 1t is men
who build towns and cities.
What is more remarkable about
Tabor City's upbuilding, is the
fact that the State has probably
paid less attention to Tabor City
and the surrounding community
than any other section in North
Carolina.
AS recall, and I was over there
just a couple of months ago, there
is only one paved road leading
into Tabor City. That tobacco mar
ket has been built up without the
aid of paved highways feeding into
the town. Most of the farmers who
take their tobacco to the Tabor
City market must haul it over
roads that are almost on the I'm
improved side. Certainly. these
roads have been given little at
tention from the State.
Yet, in addition to its growing
tobacco market Tabor City has a
bean market, a strawberry mar
ket, and there are great quantities
OF sweet and Irish potatoes. pep
pers, poultry and other commod-
tiles sold through Tabor City deal
ers. And practically all OF these
commodities are grown within a
lew miles of Tabor City.
somehow, I have always had the
notion when men got together
and did things for themselves the
State always looked with favor
upon such efforts and helped out.
Tabor City's present, and grow
ing eminence, is h~eartening proof
that a community doesn't have to
depend upon outside aid to pull it.

Americas Card Authority

B. Jay Becker, who manages the
Cavendish club in New York, has
long been rated as one of the coun-
try's outstanding players. Becker
believes that when a player pulls
the wrong card or makes any other
careless mistake, it is a definite
weakness in his game.
Certainly Becker will never be
accused of making a careless err
ror. If he makes a psychic bid,
1t becomes the topic of conversa-
ton for the week around the rSew
York bridge clubs.
An amusing incident came up on
today's hand. Becker (South) won
the opening lead, cashed four
rounds of hearts, three rounds of
clubs and three rounds of spades.
This gave him a perfect count on
the West hand. West had shown
out OF clubs and hearts and East
had shown out of spades. Tha.
meant that both East and West had
three diamonds left. and the ues-
ton was how to take the finesse.
Becker pulled a coin out of his
pocket and was about to toss it
to decide whether East or West
should be finessed for the queen
OF diamonds, when Mrs. Helen
Sobel, his partner. said, Hold Il!
l would rather trust your iudg-
ment than the toss of a coin" The
coin was replaced-and he cor-
rectly guessed the location of the
queen.
l do not know whether or not
Becker employed the theory of
the queen owe the jack. When it is
Impossible to decide the location of
the queen by the bidding or play.
many players today prefer to play
the queen over the jack on the
principle that most of the others
will play it the same way, so they
will come closer to getting aver
age.

Leieune Permanent Base

From the time construction started
at Camp Lejeune it has been understood
that the reservation would be a per-
manent Marine Corps base, but it is only
now that confirmation of the first re-
ports is forthcoming officially.
Word that 10000 marines will be
CHARTERED there has just been given
OFT by the camps public relations Of
ficer, Major H. B. Anderson. 1t is vel
come news in Wilmington, which ex-
tends a hearty welcome to the men and
their officers.
Despite the camps distance from
this city it is to be hoped that officer
and enlisted personnel alike will spend
the major part of their leisure time
here.
It may be years before the full story
of Lejeune's part in winning the Paci-
fic war is known, but that it was vital
to victory is not to be doubted. On it's
beaches the men learned how to make
a%mphibious attacks; in the magnificent
woodlands of the reservation they de-
veloped new ways of destroying the
enemy in jungle fighting. And it hap
pens that many of the men now en-
route from the Pacific to Lejeune are
veterans of the battles in which SUI
~ T--..--- c-
and many of their island bastions de-
stroyed. It was the marines from Le-
jeune who prepared the way for Mac
Arthur's return to the Philippines and
Japan's surrender in Tokyo bay.
AS grateful civilians, we cannot do
too much to make the residence of these
veterans and all other marines on the
AAieune rosters a happy experience.

Sidney Hillman

More than anybody else, Sidney
Hillman was responsible for the organi-
cation, activities and influence of the
Political Action Committee of the CLIO.
The question in everybody's mind, since
his death, is what will become of the
Political Action Committee without his
leadership?
One school of thought is that his
demise will divide the CLIO and render
the PAC, if not impotent politically, at
least largely Intellectual in political
campaigns. Another school, familiar
with the practices and shrewdness
of the CLOS advisory council, holds
that from it's membership a second
leader will be chosen with equal tai
ents.
Between the two views it may be
said that the PAC was so dependent
upon Mr.. Hillman's leadership and his
intimate connections with the Wash
ington administration, that his depar-
ture will leave the organization in a
similar position to that of a drove of
sheep without it's bellwether.
Of this we may be sure: The GIG
and the PAC have suffered a loss from
which it will be a long time in recov.
ering-if it ever does.

At a recent Authors Luncheon
in Philadelphia Milady and l were
seated next to a beautiful and
radiant young woman, whose
story Milady, with her genius for
sympathy, 500 possessed.
For five long years the young
woman's husband, an American

of the Japanese. During a whole
year no word whatsoever was
heard from him or about him,

and desperate battle with pneu-

to live, abetted by the practical
care of five Australian fellow pris-
oners, carrying him through to life
and to reunion with his family.

Since 1855, the old timers with
