Markets
BY The Associated Press

Average pyice trends on the
%flue-cured tobacco markets Thurs
day continued on a downward trend
that has been typical of the late
season due to light volume, weak
er demand and poorer quality of
offerings, the Federal-State Mar
keti News service said.
In comparison with Wednesdays
sales. averages on the middle belt
eased off from 50 cents to So, with
all groups, but Tugs affected. Quail
lty was much poorer, with much
damaged tobacco offered. Gross
sales Wednesday totaled $40. 524
pounds for an average of $33.02-
this was Slab under Tuesday and
lowest of the season..
Most of the losses on the Old
Belt were between 81 to So. Best
thin nondescript was down So and
best crude dropped $3.50 per hun
dred. Sales were light and con-
sisted largely of low to good leaf.

Millions Of Starlings Prove
Menace To Washing
ton Pedestrians

WASHINGTON. Jan. % (P) =
That bird is here again.
Congress soon will be ssked to
do its bit about Washington's
Startling problem.
District of Columbia commits
sioners said Thursday that they
have a resolution ready 10 SEND
to the Capital (Which is Washing
tons City Halll.
For Is years they nave tried -
unsuccessfully - to scare Starlings
away. Now they want Congress to
change the bird protection law so
it will be okay to bump them off.
Since the Startling lives mainly
in the east. many fortunate PEG
ole know little o. nothing about
its unfortunate habits.
So its only fair to explain why
Washington works SO hard trying
to get rid of them.
Pennsylvania Avenue is ore of
this towns main streets. II runs
from the White House to the Cap
itol. 1t has trees along it. Every
night Starlines come by the chou.
sands and sit in these trees.
We now anro9ch delicate ground.
but let US for9e brave'y ahead.
The truth must out. And tie
truth is. any pedestrian who hap
pens to stroll beneath these trees
emerges as spotted as o leopard.
The odd part about all this is
that we asked for it.
Frederick c. Lincoln of the Fish
and Wildlife servire told a re-
porter that 60 Strings were
brought over from England in 1890.
Another 40 were fetched in 1891.
The millions of Starlinas in this
country todav are descendants of
this hardy 100.
Just how the commissioners
hope to Kill the Starlings was not
disclosed. But thew have had lots
of helpful suggestions.
One citizen sid bring in Owls,
But what if the Owl became an
equally bic menace?
All right. replied the citizen.
Bring in eagles to cat the. owls.
Nobody has figured out yet what
to do about the ea2les.

Pablo uses for his plane. There's
a trail all along the river-you
can't see it from here--its been
worn smooth and flat by the In
dams for nobody knows how long.
Well, We better be gettin' along.
The suns kinda low"
Then abruptly Wade leaned for
ward in his saddle and pointed al
most directly down. Dwarfed to
toys by distance. a group of horse
men was fording the stream.
"Vicente's riders" The hunter
wiped his shining forehead with a
small tablecloth. They're up tc
something - they haven't beer
down this far in years"
Cliff eyes followed the little
cavalcade until it crossed the river,
then he asked. why did Vicente
make me promise to keep mum
about his being here"
Wade chuckled. Il guess he
figured that if the New Dixie va
queros found out he was in the val
ley they might try to catch him
The vaqueros been wantin' 10 lay
hands on Vicente for some time
For another mile they rode
steadily, making better progress
over the level trail, until at a turn
they emerged suddenly upon a roll
ing plateau, and Cliff looked up
with a thrill of glad surprise JUS
ahead New Dixie lay.
Bathed in late afternoon sunlight,
it might have been a village IF
the States. Over a hundred houses.
freshly kept and cleaning white
dotted the plateau. each cottage
fronted by cool, fresh lawns, anc
trim picket fences. Lofty trees
that looked like elms, shaded the
streets. and the smoke of {
hundred chimneys rose straight up
pencil-thin on the still air. Once,
soetened by distance. came the
sound of a dog barking, To Cliff
it was as if a segment of the Ole

The jungle seemed incredibly fal
away, and marauding bands a fan
tastic dream.
Behind the village, and a shor'
distance above it. stood a HOUSE.
larger than the rest. with tail
white pillars and spacious lawns
and at sight of it Cliff felt the
ouickened beat of his heart-in the
center of the lawn floated ar
American flsg.
Suddenly elated. he stood up in
his stirrups. ITS like being back
in the States!"
That's Claribel's house." Wade
said. He refined in his horse. "Yol
all won't need me no longer. Clari
bel and me don't sing in none toe
close harmony these days, SO II
be gettin' along" He shook hands
but his eyes fingered on the girls
face. III there's anything, any

bridge. After serving as al Army
chaplain for three and n half
years, 26 months of which were
spent in India and Burma, he was
separated from service a year
ago. Following a refresher course
at the Episcopal Seminary, he re-
ported to State.
From among the 300 Episcopal
students at State, Hobgood organ
lied the Canterbury Club. which
holds a dinner meeting each Sun
Gay evening at the Church of the
Good Shepherd in Raleigh. The
purpose of the club is to offer in
struction in faith and practice of
the church as we'll as social and
recreational activities.
Plans are being made for an
Episcopal student newspaper.
Hobgood will otficiate at Holy
Communion on the campus soon
after he is ordained to the priest
hood of the Episcopal church in
April.
Lasater received his Bachelor OF
Arts degree at Wake Forest in
l943 and his Bachelor of Divinity
at the Southern Theological Semi
nary, Louisville, Ky, in June of
this year. He was ordained III July.
While he was in Louisville he
worked with the Louisville Coun-
ell of Churches on a project to
interest Christian laynen in work
ing with inmates Of public insti-
tutions. He spent n summer tax
ing a special course in pastoral
counseling. In his senior year he
was made Baptist chaplain in the
Louisville General hospital.
The Baptist Student Union, for
which Lasater is advisor. original
ed the idea for the daily vesper
services at the college. AT present
Lasater is concentrating his eff
forts at State but he hopes to ex-
pand his work to include business
and nursing schools in Raleigh and
other colleges. not having Baptist
Student union activities. Approx
mately 1,400 Baptist students at
tend State College.
Courtenay, who spent nearly
three years as an Army Air
Forces chaplain and saw service
in Alaska, is the latest addition to
the student workers. A graduate CT
the Union Theological Seminary,
Richmond, he was ordained in
1887 and held pastorates at Chat
tanooga, Tenn. Woodlawn, Va -,
Rocky Mount and Fountain.
Activities of the 700 Presbyteri-
an students at State are centered
at the West Raleigh Presbyterian
church. Courtenay works closely
with the Westminster Fellowship
expanding its work. At present he
is c%anvassing the Presbyterian
group at the college to find posi-
bilities for leadership and to ar
range a place on the campus fos
future activities. He hopes to start
the publication of a Presbyterian
student news sheet.
A record collector, Courtensy
has placed his 1900 records, which
include classical. semi : classical,
religious, popular and cowboy
numbers, at the disposal OF the
YMCA to be used in musical pro-
grams presented by the organiza-
ton.
This term the student workers
plan to cooperate with Professor
W. N. Hicks. head of the Depart
nlent Of Religion and Ethics, in
teaching a course in religious edu-
cation. Professor Hicks. will super
wise the work. and the student
workers will assist him by over
seeing field work for students OF
their denominations. Credit will be
offered for the work.
