voting to return to work after
Fuel Minister Emanuel Shinweu
told them Britain was changing on
a thread" Four thousand other
voted to stay out. Shinwell sounded
the warning at a half dozen strik-
ers' meetings in Yorkshire, and
said:
IF anything else goes wrong in
Britain, the miners five-day week
and statutory holidays with pay
will not be worth anything"
The 1000 who voted to stay
out Included miners at the Crime

fused to work % feet of coal

National Union of Mine Workers
has condemned the strike as a
wildcat affair.
New Threat
A new threat to coal deliveries
cropped up. The executive council
Of the Clerical and Administra-
tive Workers called strike for
Sept. Of its 10000 coIiery office
employees, as a protest against
Coal Board delay in establishing
negotiating machinery.
The British press headlined un-
confirmed reports that an "empire
economic conference" would be
held in September to discuss the
formation of a STERLING bloc"
in view Of the empires dollar
shortage.
At Dundee, Stra chey said the only
way Britain can get dollars to buy
more American goods is for the
United States to increase her pur-
chases from Britain.
Unfortunately, America does
not buy very much from abroad
over her high tariff SYSTEM" he
said. THAT is why we shall have
to limit our purchases in the
United States strictly indeed"
Would Reduce Army
Harry Pollitt, general secretary
OF the Communist party, advocat-
ed in an open letter to Prime
Minister Attlee that additional
manpower for key industries be
provided by reducing Britain's
armed froces by 100000, and by
bringing home all British troop IS
from Greece, India. Palestine. the
Middle East, Egypt, Burma and
Malaga. Attlee's office had no

Reviewing the high place in the

by towns with populations under

of child lost in the tall grasses

Pennies Count In Tobacco
Business, Supervisor Says

to all the drudgery and expense OF
growing the tobacco in the first
place and who, therefore, should
be given the utmost consideration
in the sale Of tobacco.
"Wallace," one Of these farmers
said for quotation, ''has always
been at the top, or burned near 1t,
in the average price paid for tobac-
co. The warehouse boys seem to
put on an extra mite of steam to
try to get those extra pennies for
us and it's those extra pennies
that mount up to dollars that might
mean the difference between
breaking even-even losing money
on a tobacco crop and picking
up a few dollars of profit"
Whatever the reason the ''ware-
house boys" referred to by this
farmer are seeming to put on an
extra mite Of steam. And it's
probably only fitting that they're
brought into print again for bow.
These Wallace warehouse boys
are A. E. (Rack) Rackley, A. H.
Carter, and John Chestnut, Of New
Duplin warehouse; o. c. (Oscar)
Blachard and w. H. (BiD Far
rior, of Blanchard and Far

Bryant, OF Hussey's Nos. / and 2.
AS indicated, the Wallace market
opens for its second week of sales
Tuesday morning. And farmers
hereabouts are expecting that
with better grades of tobacco be-
ing offered the Wallace pric4 aver
age may top even the $45.25 aver

on to keep ahead Of the other mar
kets in the belt. That's something

ten months. The AAF goal is a
strength of about 100000 men to
fly and keep in operation 70 COM
bat. groups of about 5000 air
craft.
The low ebb reached by the
AAF in the months Immediately
following the end of the war was
attested to recently in statement
by Gen. Carl Spaatz, AAF chief,
that at that time I'VE had not
single squadron Immediately cap
able of action with wartime ef-
ficiency."
While the broad program Of the
AAF also embraces plans tor get
ting more pilots in the years
Just ahead, the major manpower
headache now is to train the highly
skilled men who fly in army air
craft as part Of the air crews
or keep them flying from main
tenance hangers.
For this reason, the air force
has opened up 40 of its technical
schools to recruits who come ir
under the career plan" with ar
idea Of specializing in particular
fields.
Planes Grounded
AAF officials say thousands Of
aircraft were kept grounded after
the end Of the war. and many
still are - for lack Of technicians.
The new training program, there
fore, is making special bids fo1
maintenance men, armament ex
perts, radar and radio mainten
ance men and operators, weather
men and airfield control tower
operators. And for those who want
to be an AAF IMP" there is
even a special school for that.
The program is open to high
school graduates between II and
"a, either veterans or non-veterans.
With a view to augmenting its
backlog of pilots, the AAF recently
relaxed restrictions on the avia-
ton cadet training program to
allow civilians as well as enlisted
men to apply for pilot training.
Requirements for this training pro-
vide the applicant must be TN
married (during the training
period as we'll as at the time ne
enters the program); be between
20 and 26 IL years old, and
have earned at least one-hah OF
the credit for degree at an ac-
credited college or university or TO
pass an education examination.
Guard Needs
In separate statement. MAJ:
Gen. Butler B. Miltonberger, chief
of the National Guard, said that
the Guard needs additional pilots
to fly the 780 late type observa-
ton and liaison planes assigned TO
it's ground units.
Miltonberger said there are
more than 700 pilot vacancies open
and they offer IAN excellent op-
portunity for wartime pilots to
keep their hand in as part OF the
new National Guard"
