OF
Tobacco Is
Underway
Crop Turning Out
Good Quality Leaf
In Early Process

Curing Of the new tobacco crop
is getting under way in this part Of
the Middle Belt, and in another
week or so will be general. Indica-
tons are that the harvest is pro-
ceeding satisfactorily. with good
quality leaf coming from the barns
Mid-July is trifle early for much
curing to be in progress III this Sec
ton. bu seasons so far, with eX-
ception of recent rains. have been
unusually favorable to production.
AS result, the crop is we'll ad-
vanced toward maturity, there arc
good stands and quality is pleasing
to growers.
Rains and hot sun that followed
have done some damage to tn" crop
hereabouts. but il is nothing like rs
serious as in some parts of the East
err North Carolina belt. With better
w"nthrr from this time on. the crop
will be rated as very good and
should produce yield that will be
profitable to farmers.
The Henderson tobacco market is
getting under way Il promotional
program that will be relied upon ~
boost sales on local auction floors
well above that of a year ago. 1t is
hoped that the season will be much
better with respect to poundaGc
handled. Expectation is that prices
will compare favorably with those
OF the last several seasons.

ARMY SAYS ALASKA
VIRTUAL PARADISE

The following information has
been released by SiSgt. Edward W
Chabot Of the Durham Recruiting
Station.
Ii the name Alaska" is mention
ed to any soldier who has been there
it will probably bring to his mind
many thoughts about the wonders
of this Northwest territory.
In sharp contrast 10 the bomb
shattered cities and human suffer-
ing in many parts Of the world,
Alaska offers q wealth Of scenic
beauty unmarried by the ravases of
war.
For soldiers who prefer the out
door life, this luXuriant countryside
IS sportSman's paradise. For the
man with the gun. there are Zodiac,
erizzley and polar bear, moose,
caribou, walrus, and seal. For those
who prefer smaller game; there are
red fox, beaver, sable. ermine and
mink and for those who are irtar-
ested in fishing there is the Alaska
Gulf teeming with million of large
salmon.
The Alaskan Department special
1errice office has taken steps to
provide the finest equipment avail
able not only for these outdoor
sportSmen but also for the men who
prefer indoor sports. Many fine
Gynmasiums have been built and are
maintained complete with all the
equipment that is needed.
Since the military units in this
land of clean snow and swift rivers
are small. there naturally is less
work to be done and so the men
have more leisure time. This time
they may use to either develop new
skillS or to perfect old ones.
Add to these inviting scenes the
opportunity to travel during the 30
day turloughS that Regular Army
men enjoy, and you have a distinct
~ good deal that is hard to parallel
in civilian life.

Sept. l Set AS Probable
Final Date For
Applications

With Sept. l set as probable final
date for applications at the Will
mington college center for the fall
term, $50 white regisrtants were
reported yesterday by Dale X.
Spencer, who is in charge of the
local college operations.
White registrants during the
two-day registration period held
here last month, totaled 1877, ex-
actly 1O7 more applicants than we're
needed to assure the center for
Wilmington.
One of IL Cities
However. a special steering COM
mittee of the University of North
Carolina Monday picked the city
as one of the IL North Carolina
towns with more than 80 register
ed.
The center, originally proposed
as a plan to alleviate the shortage
Of student housing in established
colleges because of the large num-
Der of returning servicemen seek
ing enrolment, will also have roh-
veterans as students.
Faculty members for the local
center will be selected from
teachers in schools and colleges
and others who have the required
degrees.
Applications Forwarded
Applications which have been
received locally. have been for
warded to officials of UNC for &C
ton, but last night there had been
no official report on these.
Thirty-Seven Negro applicants
applied at the preliminary registra-
ton, assuring the city of the Negro
college center as well.
Indications from a poll of stu
dents as to their further education
are that the administrative work
will be under the direction of UNC.
The steering committee had sug-
gested that UNC handle various
other cities. In this event, a col
lege of popular choice would be
asked to do so.
Sixty-five of the prospective stu
dents picked UNC as their choice
for furthering their education,
while State College was a second
lead with AZ signifying their in
tentioas to enter that institution
after their freshman work here
is completed. Duke University and
Wake Forest college received five
bids each from the applicants.
