Flight School
For Veterans

Plans to establish a GIL flight
raining school in Columbus coun-
v were revealed this week by
Harry Barley, ,Jr., of Whiteville
Aviation, and S. L. Braxton
chairman of Whiteville planning
board.
A survey is now being conduc-
ted to determine the number OF
veterans in the county who would
be interested in taking the course.
Should the school be establish
I'd, additional hangers would have
70 be erected, class rooms, and
other facilities at the air port, but
these are attainable, it was said.
According to recent survey,
only five out of IA World War II
veterans have taken advantage of
any of the school training pro-
grams of. any kind. 1t was felt a
flight training school might at
tract MANY who have desires to
2ursne such a program.
All veterans interested in tax
ing courses in the Columbus
county flight training school were
urged to contact Harry Barley,
Jr., at Whiteville Aviation, as
soon as possible.

Big Menus And Big Heart Make Mary Todd Euerybods Mother

Sixty-three years ago. Mrs. Todd
was born Mary Allen Butler on a
farm near Pireway. In 1906, she
married John D. Todd, who had
also been raised in Pireway.
Together they settled on his
farm and, until his death II years
later, lived together in the laugh
ter and gaity of their youth.
When death snuffed out their
brief happiness in 1913, Mrs. Todd
and her. two children, Virginia
and Hubert, remained on the Pre-
way farm. for two years before
moving into Tabor City.
The house she bought is the
same one she now operates as a
rooming house.
"When I settled in Tabor City,"
Mrs. Todd explained, "my house
was the only one in town north
of the railroad tracks. F. G. Kel-
w grew tomatoes where the Ritz
theatre now stands and sometimes
when l would call over to him a.

her Tabor City rooming house.
eft was so nice today" she said,
'we went for drive. Then we
stopped in at my mothers, and my
sister from Loris was there and
my sister from Whiteville, and we
had so much fun the time just

And with that she went to work
preparing the evening meal for
The roomers and boarders who
stood around the kitchen enjoying
her excitement.
Ask anybody in these parts
where to get the best meal on
either side of the state line and
they'll say "Mrs. Todd's" without
hesitating to think.
People have been saying that
for 26 years.

bout buying some, he'd tell me to
help myself"
Her son, Hubert, 35. a dentist,
remembered, "Where Hickman's is
now, used to be the best place a
round here to shoot marbles: the
ground was clean, and hard as a
rock"
The house Mrs. Todd purchased
in 1920 had five rooms. Those five
rooms are still in use. But ten
other rooms have been added along
the. sides and as a second floor
"until the place is all out of
shape" Mrs. Todd explained. "And
I'll probably add more"
The first roomer to enter Mrs.
Todd's establishment in 1921 was
a school teacher. Another teacher
moved in before the school year
ended. Shortly after their de,
parture, two tobacco men moved
into the house for the auction sea.

Loris Newspaper
Now Printed Here

The Loris Leader, a new COM
munity newspaper for the town
and community of Loris, opened
publication Wednesday morning
and is being printed in the Ia
Dor City Tribune shop.
w. Horace Carter, publisher of
The Tribune, is also publisher OF
The Leader and is editing the new
paper. An office for the new
publication was opened in the
building formerly occupied by Free
mans Insurance agency in Lori:
last week.
Carter said this week 81 believe
that we can be of service to botf
communities and put out two
newspapers that will meet the ap'
proval of the people. We car
also serve advertisers in botf
towns who have merchandise that
they wish to make known to the
public both here and there with
our new combination advertising
rates for ads that appear in botf
newspapers.
81 believe, too, that we will be
able to cover the news in the area
much better than in the past and
that the two papers will be closely
enough aligned that citizenry OF
both towns will have an opportu-
nity to read the news not only at
home, but that in the surrounding
communities" Mr.. Carter said.

III. D. Stevens In Race
For Commissioners Seat

w. A. (AD Williams filed pc
tition for candidacy for mayor of
Tabor City Tuesday morning and
marked the beginning of what
citizenry say is going to be
spirited election on June 10.
Mr.. Williams, prominent bust
ness man and former school tea
cher, came to Tabor City several
years ago as a teacher in the To-
cal schools and soon thereafter
entered into business in this COM
munity. Until recently, Mr.. Will
liams has been a member Of the
Columbus county board of educa-
ton and was instrumental in pro-
curing the recent school bond e.
lection in the county which was
passed by the voters.
He is a member of the local Ro-
tary club and teacher of the mems
class at the Mt. Tabor Baptist
church here.
Also entering the political circle
this week was Dewey Stevens,
currently associated with the state
highway here, who filed for the
town board of commissioners.
Mr.. Stevens is we'll known in
the community and has been ac-
tive in many town and county e.
lections here in the past.
He is the second to file for the
board of commissioners, Dr. S. j..
Potts having entered the race sew
eral days ago.
| J. Percy Brown, town clerk,
stated this week that it is impor-
tant for all possible candidates to
know that the deadline for filing
is at noon on May 81 and that
aspirants are expected to throw
their hats in the ring by that time.
No statements could be secur.
ed this week but the talk around
town was that several members of
the current board of commission
ers would not file for reelection.
However, this rumor is uncon-
firmed. and current members have
released no information relative to
their plans.

"And the place has been pack

woman is fully aware that the

Her noon and evening meals al

all homemade, top off meals which
one would never expect to find
anywhere but in his own mothers
kitchen.
Mrs. Todd is most famous Tor
her fried chicken and it is the
most frequent item on her menu

City Engineer Submits
Report On Street Work

Reacting to indirect criticism
regarding the construction worl
on Pridgen street (the Whiteville
road). r. f. Reynolds, of EuStlel
and Reynolds, engineers, submit
ted a report Wednesday to Mayor
J. M. McGougan and the Tabor
commissioners.
Recalling an agreement with
the state highway and public works
commission to resurface the, pres
ent concrete pavement and wild
den and pave it for seven feet on
each side providing the city install
led the necessary curb and storm
sewers, Reynolds said work was
started upon these stipulations.-
REYNOLDS said 10 feet of curb
ing was constructed and the storm
sewers and catch basins installed
In February, plans were chan
ged. 1t was decided, Reynolds
said to increase the road width
from the the planned 80 feet to
SO feet in order to maintain a
three-lane highway and still make
room for parked cars.
"To comply with the revised
PLAN" the report stated, "it was
necessary to relay the 10 feet of
curb and four catch basins already
installed back three feet for safe
ty." 49,
This, it was said, explained
what appeared to some people to
be a reduplication of work.

Mrs. Todd supports her own ira

good-heartedness have endeared to
the entire community. No one
can marry without Mrs. Todd's ba-
