bated

JACKSONVILLE, Dec. g.
Whether to light the evergreens
surrounding the Onslow county
court house for Christmas fes-
tivities is expected to be decid-
ed by a special committee of the
Chamber of Commerce here soon.
The Chamber has already turn
ed on the lights throughout other
sections of town.
County agent, Charlie Clark
proposed the Chamber promote
a rat killing campaign in the
town, in connection with the one
being planned throughout the
county. He pointed out that rats
do tremendous damage to build
ings and merchandise.
County school superintendent,
told the chamber that the con-
dition of county roads during bad
weather is so bad that many OF
the schools can not operate, and
asked the chamber to write a let
ter to the State Highway Com
mission asking that all possible
be done to improve roads before
bad weather sets in, a motion to
this effect was unanimously car
ried.
Jacksonville stores will close
Dec. Is, and 26 and January l
same as last year. Stores will re-
main open until 8 p. m. every
evening from Dec. 19 through
Dec. "a because the Chamber
meeting night falls on Jan. l next
time. 1t was voted to hold the
meeting for this time only in
January.

The battle to raise from other
sources the S150,000,0OO North
Carolina is expected to lose in
the year 1940 from the reduc-
ton in tobacco acreage is en-
gaging the serious attention of
every tobacco farmer and of
every thoughtful business man
in the section.
For the past several weeks we
have been going around in
Southeastern North Carolina
talking with county agriculture al
agents, livestock producers,

heads, packing plant managers,
successful farmers, wheat mills
operators, grape buyers, peanut
buyers, pecan buyers, sweet po-
tato auction markets men, and
business men about how best to

loss.
While there are one hundred
oo1nties in North Carolina
there are not one hundred to-
bacco counties. However every
one of the ten counties in South
eastern North Carolina raises
tobacco. Therefore the 1S48 loss
in Southeastern North Carolina
will be more than one-tenth OF
the State total, that is far more
than $4,000, 900. We all agree
that loss of more than $15,-
100000 in 1948 in Southeastern
North Carolina alone can have
a far reaching effect on all lines
of business.
With all of this in mind we
visited the plant of M. A. Rocks
on the highway from Whining
ton to Clinton. We found w. l..
Groom, the general manager, a
man who is deeply and actively
and thoughtfully interested in
increasing income from sources
other than tobacco so as to
make up the loss. The M. A.
Rocks plants have been a mar
ket for livestock in this section
for twenty years. Mrs. Rocks
buys hogs and cattle. His plants
sell pork cuts, smoked sausage,
wieners, bologna, fresh pork
sausage, liver pudding, souse,
chitterlings and beef in quar-
ters. He maintains a fleet of
trucks to pick up livestock pur-
chased and to deliver the fin
ished products
You can grasp what this
means when we report that he
is buying an average of 1855
hogs each quarter and IS cattle
each week. It is interesting to
note that he is able to market
all his products within South
eastern North Carolina.
Manifestly, the man who is
producing livestock for sale and
is making a profit from live
stock production is one of the
soldiers in this battle to make
up the $3.50, 900, 900 loss. Some of
these soldiers, these producers
who recently have sold live
stock to the Rocks plants are R..

In remembrance of my dear boy.
Woodrow Smack. who departed this
life january |. 1913:
-Four years have passed.
NV heart is still sad and lonely
NV grief too deep to tell.
But time will come when we will meet
And all to you | will tell.
Why should my tears in sorrow flow ?
Your sufferings all are over.
You have gone where sorrow never
enters on the fearless shore.
Fondly loved hy all who knew you.
Many farewell tears were shed;
Your dreams of life are over
Your gentle spirit fled.
Days of darkness still come DER me,
sorrows paths | often tread;
HIt the Saviour still is with me.
By His hand I'm safely led
He will keep me till the river
Rolls it's water at my feet
Tben He'll bear me safely over
Where the loved ones | shall meet.

Catholic Labor
Schools Opened
By Rev. Gilligun

Catholic Labor schools which
opened in the Twin Cities last week
drew Sc men in Minneapolis and "a
in st. Paul.
Father Francis J. Gilligan, chair
man Of the Minnesota Governors
Interracial commission, n d e r
whose direction the schools re-
opened for their first postwar
courses, said he is well satisfied
with this start but hopes that at
tendance will double at subsequent
meetings. Father Gilligan, who is
professor Of moral theology at st.
Paul seminary, is the well-known
author of "The Morality Of the
Color Line"
The work is planned to train
Catholic members of labor unions
in Catholic social teaching, labor
law and parliamentary law. The
school is not identified with any
Catholic labor movement. at is
designed solely to instruct Catholics
so that they may help preserve the
many good things in the American
labor movement and individually
contribute TO its improvement, Z"
Father Gilligan said.
