Border Belt Tobacco Market
To Open Thursday August I

At a meeting of representatives
from the three major seSments OF
the tobacco industry in Raleigh
Tuesday, it was decided that the
Border Belt leaf season would
officially open Thurs, August -
The committee-compoSed OF
five farmers, five warehousemeh
and five buyers-set the dates
for all belt openings and stated
that it believed the dates chosen
ale for the best interests OF the
flue-cured marketing area-gro"-
ers, buyers and warehouSemen
alike.
Other dates set are as follows:
Eastern North Carolina, August
rs; Middle Belt, September 10;
Old Belt, September 23;. and Elr-
ginia Dark F'ire-Cured, December
The Georgia-Florida belt, first
to open, will get underway July
"a, the same as last season.
The marketing committee also
decided the following:
/. Each days sales on all mar
kets would be limited to 400 piles
per hour. (250 pounds to pile),
rather than to a specific selling
time.
2. The U. S. Department OF
agriculture's grading service Tor
the season should administer the
,ales regulations.
3. The practice OF "pan,cak-
ing" or mixing the grades OF to-
bacco in baskets should be ellml-
mated, and urged farmers to re-
move strings fromtheir offerings
prior to the sale.
4. 1t would be advisable for
growers not to place their offer
ings on floors too far in advance
Of sales, since that practice results
damaged offerings.

FREAK COLD SNAP
NOT BELIEVED
BAD FOR TOBACCO

With freak cold front NOV
ing into this area last Saturday
and remaining for several days,
much discussion had to do with
the possible bad effects on the
present tobacco crop.
Some believed that the growing
leaf would be damaged if the
front stayed here for some time
but that the passing OF the cold
earlier in the week has erased
that possibility.
Most farmers and persons
familiar with tobacco in this area
expressed the opinion that the
cold would merely hold back the
crop, which has been growing ito
fast ond thicken the leaves, thus
adding poundage to the overall
crop.
Furthermore, most persons be-
lieved that the cold would hold
the moisture in the ground longer
and benefit the crop in that re-
spect.
However, some farmers have
received too much rain and some
tobacco has been drowned.

Post Office Star Route
Discontinued Monday

Effective Monday night, the Ia
Dor City star route which usua-
lily picks up evening mail here
and gets outgoing parcels into
Wilmington was cancelled and
the route will no longer include
Tabor City.
The star route made it possible
for mail which was entered in the
local post office after three
O'Clock in the afternoon to leave
Tabor City the same day
and be in New York the following
day around noon. With the can
collation. of the route, mail will
be delayed at least IL hours in
reaching the same destination in
New York City.
The truck route started from
Chadbourn and carried the mail
directly into Wilmington.
Postmaster d. F. McGougan
stated this week that he had re-
ceived no written notification of
the cancellation of he route, but
that the driver had informed post
office clerks Monday evening that
he would no longer come by Ha-
Dor City.
Although Mr.. McGougan has re-
ceived no notification of the dis
continuance of the route, he said
this week that he had recommend
ed that the route be discontinued
some time ago because of an adj
ditional $3.50 per day that it
cost the local office to maintain
the star route.
Many business men expressed
the opinion that it is important
that the local office continue this
route in that lull in business in
mid-afternoon gives them a
chance to catch up on pressing
correspondence and now with the
cancellation of the route, letters
will not leave the post office until
The following morning. Hereto
fore, any mail entering the post
office by five o'clock would be
handled by the star route and
thus speed up delivery.
Some mail was also brought in
to Tabor City from Chadbourn
late in the afternoon and this
mail will not arrive now until the
following day. However, Mr.. Nc
Cougar stated this week that few
people came for their mail after
the six o'clock delivery anyway.

In so doing, it is taking its cue from all the
other American cities which understand now
that city must have a soul as well as a
body. That, as there is a difference between
a hotel room and home, so there is diff
ference between city with spirit and one
without In making that discovery, citizens
are realizing that it is up to them to make
their city source of fuller living
That is the race Milwaukee has entered.
Its approach may differ from that of other
cities But that is unimportant. What does
count is that Americans are waking up and
going beyond the boasts about shiny new
bathtubs and the efficient plant on the cor
ner of 4th and Main More and more of us
are realizing that there is something vital
and grand about the character of cities like
Paris and Vienna and London.
This is the new American spirit. Out of
it is coming better America - and one

new museum, modernization of the library
and development of adequate parking areas
4. Completion of the War Memorial
5. Across-town Expressway
6. New Zoo.
Nothing very startling there So what's
all the fuss about?
First of all, you must accept the basic
problem that every city has: It's tough to
sell the abstract, the non-proft making, the
things which pay off in peace of mind,
mental ease and accomplishment. And
second, there's Milwaukee's own special
problem. The city burghers were reared on,
the motto of thrift and independence. Dur
ing the depression, when the Federal gov
eminent offered half the money for civic
improvements, Milwaukee turned it down.
No. sir, we don't need anybody paying half
our bills If we want to do something, we'll
do it ourselves. Nothing got done.
The city got out of debt. Buying moth
ing, patching and re-patching it's old
clothes, it got by. It's still debt-free.
1t has one of the best municipal credit
ratings. But its heels are very run down.
The men of the '48 Corporation think they
can take care of that by having their
city sell bonds and get money for new clothes.
They figure the cash-on-the- line system
doesn't work for cities. They'd like to buy
the things they want on the installment
plan so they can enjoy them and so they
can watch their children enjoy them. They
expect to accomplish it by getting the
people behind them and turning the old
descriptive cliche of politicians - servants
of the people" - into producing reality.
No Linneight-C rabber
AND that's how the '48 Corporation went
to work. If researcher were to get the
names of the four dozen top citizens of
Milwaukee. most of them would be the
men who make up 48's Board of Directors.
Average age is 40 to As. They'll be the men
whose income and investments will be taxed
most if they get for the people what they
want And can talk about them only as
a group. Personalities and individuals don't
enter into it. Nobody will take credit.
Everything is credited to we" The first
person pronoun is lost in tight-knit web
of group effort.
The Corporation works under smarty
organized committee set-up. Each project,
each function has its committee The only
salaried member is the Executive Director.
He,left all important industrial job to take
this one because, very simply, he thought
this was great deal more important. Every
body else is volunteer. But none of the
put my name -on your -letterhead- and
don't-bother kind of volunteer. They
have vigorous, demanding full-time
jobs. But they spend as much time on
their Corporation. Dinner at home is
rare luxury. Poker games, parties, social
lunches are almost out for the duration

to learn what other US. cities are doing.
Their slx-polnt program is only the start
ing point. They intend to keep going from
there. The Corporations blueprint can set
a pattern for every community which is
talking now about rebuilding. The vital
thing about 1t is its spirit and its approach.
Strategy for the attack on haphazard
living is based on the Master Plan. Mil
waukee never had one and the results are
bad: poor traffic ways, congestion. lack of
parking facilities, slums. blighted areas, i'm
proper coming. Patchwork has made it
worse. An all-out attack with master plan
is the only answer in the leaders books.
They Want Big Stadium
DEEMS as if city the size of Milwaukee
would have big outdoor municipal stadium.
But it hasn't. And the people want to see
big-league baseball, championship boxing.
They want place for amateur sports gath
erings. They'd like to hold patriotic celebra-
tons. religious and civic pageants.
Project Three is the Civic Center with an
Indoor Sports Arena for hockey, track,
basketball - and conventions. With Mu-
scum worthy of its possessions and the
million people who brave the present out
worn building every year. And replacement
tor the old Library which has become so
cramped and dusty that circulation dropped
from more than six million to less than three
million To round out the Center there must
be adequate parking space which can also
relieve some of the downtown congestion.
Fourth on the list is the Memorial Center
which is to be built with privately sub
scribed funds mounting to five million dol
lars. The citizens say: 1--WE want an
eternal reminder that men, known and
unknown, died so that we might live to
seek still better life" The Memorial is
to have an art gallery, space for amateur
theatres, lecture rooms, concert halls. 1t is
to be monument to richer living.
The Express Highway is to cut across
from the north to the south side of town.
Away from congestion, it will reduce ten
sion driving, be boon to airport travellers.
The Zoo will be for kids and those who
once were. The old ones an lover
circus display twenty years behind the
modern barless ZOOS in the u S. and abroad"
Six points that seem easy and obvious
when you divide them up among all the
people in one of the important U. S. cities.
The sort of things you take for granted
until you realize that our citizens have a
habit of separating themselves from their
own government That's habit the Mil
waukee 1913 Corporation intends to STOP
The Ci6zen's Responsibility
In so doing, it is taking its cue from all the
other American cities which understand now
that city must have soul as we'll as a
body That, as there is difference between

ference between a city with a spirit and one
