SAWMILL RAZED BY
MIDNIGHT BLAZE

Some folks believe they should
mind their own business and not
butt in the affairs of others unless
they are asked-but not William
Warren of Milford.
Because of Warren's initiative
and resourcefulness, several thou
sand dollars worth of truck equip
ment and horses are safe and un-
harmed today, while a saw mill
beside which the trucks and horses
were housed lay in fire-blackened
ruins.
The mill, property of Harold
Bunting and Richard Sipple, To-
Gated on the Thompsonville Road
about four miles from Milford,
caught fire shortly after midnight
last Tuesday night.
The blaze was first discovered,
and reported to Milford firemen,
by Mrs. Elsie Moseley who lives
nearby. She said she was awaken
ed by the sound of an explosion,
and saw flames leaping skyward
from the engine-roOm OF the saw
mill.
The explosion, firemen later de-
cided, must have been an oil drum
containing fuel for the diesel en-
gine which was touched off by
the flames.
Meanwhile, about the same time
Mrs. Moseley was awakened and
was calling volunteer firemen, Mr..
Warren came by on the lonely ru-
raj highway.
Driving closer to the blaze, he
saw three trucks and some horses
beneath an adjacent fire-threaten-
ed frame building,
/ An automotive mechanic, War
rem used his ingenuity to switch
on ignition systems in the trucks
and drove them to safety. He then
led out the horses to the haven OF
nearby fields.
When Milford and Frederica
Fire Companies arrived, flames had
made such headway in the saw mill
and it's stored lumber and mill.
work that all their efforts could
not check the blaze.
State police from Dover were
called to help direct traffic drawn
to the blaze. Damage was esti
mated at about $1,000.

face" the report doesn't look too
bad"
The book loss, he said, is ac-
counted for principally by the fact
that the agency financed subsidy
programs, for which Congress made
no appropriation, and helped to
bear the cost of much of the war
plant construction undertaken by
the government.
On it's lending program, for which
it was originally created, RFC
shows a profit of approximately
$5,O0O000, 200, Aiken said. adding
that they could hardly fail to make
profit" since, he said, RFC bor-
rows money from the Treasury at
one per cent interest and lends it at
three per cent or more.
Aiken said he has asked his COM
mittee staff to attempt to find out
how much this program has cost

that an increasing number of farm
ers reported the use of proven
tives. and all with a degree Of
success.
While a lot of the treated beds
became infected with blue mold
where they were treated the Wors'
effect of this disease on plants
was to slow up, or postpone plant
ing. The only reports Of destruc
tive effects from blue mold, indi
eating a plant shortage, came
from a few sections in. Brunswick
and several communities in South
Carolina.
Worms and insects have not
been any more troublesome than
usual, but this years crop Of
weeds have been prolific, and has
kept the growers busy wedding"
Rankin stated.
Just the same as with blue molc
preventives, an increasing number
of growers have used weed killing
preparations and in almost every
case have reported a satisfactory
degree of success.
Many have let test strips on
their plant beds and these the
growers say, have proven the
value Of the preparations used.

then signing another officers

from the army. The 15-yeaT

But although Durant appeared
fresh and clean in a new UNIFORM

his face was perceptibly thinner
than when his trial opened five

LUMBERTON, April 80 - Al.
though retarded somewhat by sew.

plants have shown a satisfactory
growth in the past two weeks, &C
cording to a report On the condi
tons in the Border Belt issued by
R C. Rankin. supervisor of sale:
on the Lumberton tobacco mar
ket.
Many Of the plants have reach
| ed transplanting size, and planting
is expected to be general over the
greater part of the Border Bel
this week, the sales supervisor
said.
"In the South Carolina border
counties, portions of Bladen,
Brunswick, Columbus and Robe
son, planting began in a small
way last week and some growers
will be able to get from Is to sc
percent of their crop in the field
by the end of this week" Rankin
said. Others are not quite SO 1of'
tunate.
A small amount of tobacco
plants will be set out in Cumber'
land, Hoke, Sampson and Scotland
counties, but transplanting will moi
become general until about May
5. The present outlook is for q
crop, generally speaking, tw

except in a few instances, it has

where it is a threat to the plant
