Merchants of Tabor City in en-
dorsing this resolution are keeping
in following with several other
neighboring towns that have openly
declared that nightmare initiation
would not sweep the community if
it is humanity possible to stop it.
Local merchants, of course, are
powerless if wholesale prices soar
beyond present ceilings but so long
as the Tabor City Merchants are able
to procure merchandise at OPA
wholesale ceilings, prices will remain
in close proximity to current prices.
Some persons flocked to the nearest
stores following the expiration of the

free sugar. This phase of OPA,
however, has been transferred to the
Department of Agriculture and sugar
rationing is still in effect.

Town tentatively Considering
Huge Public Utility Expansion;
Hear Report by Pete Reynolds
Farmers Urged To Attend
Meeting Saturday Night
PACKING SHED is PROPOSED
BY COOPERATIVE

C. w. Kennedy, chairman of the
State Committee of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and Virginia,
will hold a meeting of farmers in
the Tabor City School house Satur-
day night July 6, at 800 and dis
cuss proposed plans for the erection
of a Southern Fruit and Vegetable
Growers shipping and packing shed
here. The shed to be Farmer-owned.
Mr.. Kennedy, South Carolina
farmer himself who is one of the
leaders in the move for formation
of better facilities for putting the
farmers produce on the retail mar
ket, has been in this area most of
the week talking to farmers in the
various sections who sell on the
local: market.
1.-THE Saturday night meeting here
is to give all farmers lin the area
comprising Fair Bluff, Clarendon,
Loris, Nakina and other neighbor-
ing communities a chance to hear
VIVA taoy have to gain BY Icoapera-
/ tive marketing OF thc>r 5rsdue'esl
MIR. Kennedy said.
"The purpose of the Southern
Fruit and Vegel able GROWERS is
to stabilize prices by proper distr-
button of truck farm products. The
area around Tabor City is a lead
ing truck farm section and a coop
shipping shed here, like the one
now in Burgaw or the one in Lake
City, S. c.. can be a great improve
ment to farm prices" Mr.. Kennedy
continued.
"A. Slagle and Michael Boryck,
two N. c. State committee members,
may also attend the Saturday night
meeting here" Mr.. Kennedy asserted.
1T is our experience so far that
market shipping shed such AS that
which we propose, will not hinder the
local buyers i'll help them. Pro-
per packing facilities for prepare
ton of cucumbers, strawberries, snap
beans and etc., will better the ap-
pearance of the farm produce and
preserve it longer, allowing shippers
to supply starving markets at grea-
ter distances" said Mr.. Kennedy.
Cards have been mailed out to
most farmers in the area and good
attendance is expected.

FOL the town board or the city clerk
expect to take the plans to Raleigh
next week.
Following the action of the State
Planning board, if it approves the
present plans, the information will
be presented to the N. c. State
Board of Health for further dis
position.
The third step would call for ap-
prevail by the Local Government
Commission and would end the series
of approvals in this state
Should the proposals meet the ap-
prevails of the three agencies men,
toned, it would be submitted to the
Federal Works Administration re-
gional office in Atlanta, Ga.
An FWA stamp of approval would
make the town eligible for govern
ment loan, interest free, from the
national government to hold sur
vey, draw up plans and specifica-
tions for the complete job.
This eligibility would come from
"the Demobilizat ton Bill sponsored
BY Senator George, loans and advan-
ceg to local governments for the pre-
paration of contract drawings, speci-
fications and handling of legal pro-
cedure necessary for financing the
construction" Mr.. Reynolds re-
port said.
A sure thing has already been
passed upon and the town will get
whether the overall program ever
goes into effect or not. The surety
is that a city map and tax map will
be drawn showing every lot in town.
This drawing was started about three
months ago. No such map is
now available.
