and each of the boys knows how
to use them.
What is more, the boys wives
and Mrs. Brinkley tied up all
the tobacco that was grown on
their farm this year-and in all
other years.
And, in case you've forgotten
about the pound cake, fried
chicken, etc., Mrs. Brinkley did
all that herself.
All the family was on hand
for the sale today. The prices
they received pleased them and
they told the buyers, and any
body else around, SO. But, para
phrasing some of Mr.. Brink
ley's casual remarks, it didn't
take the tobacco sale to make
them happy. The family is an
outstanding example of the
happy American family. anc
in the tradition that has helped
make America great.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-10-17

Brinkley and his family are
high-falutin folks. Perish the
thought! The family has been
living on the same farm in the
Island Creek section for much
more than a quarter of a cen
fury. Mr.. Brinkley himself was
raised in the Deep Bottom sec
ton around Chinquapin.
His boys-Benjamin, Charlie,
Buren,, and Floyd - did every
bit of work in raising between
Is and II acres of tobacco this
year. MOI a penny was paid out
for hands on this years crop
except to help house the tobac-
co. And Mr.. Brinkley and his
boys raise everything else
that's grown in these parts be-
sides their fine tobacco crop.
Mr.. Brinkley, himself, has
been on the sick list for many
Years. But he personally directs
all the work. One of his boys
told me that Mr.. Brinkley will
tell his sons each night what
he wants them to do the follow
ing day and they get on with
their work with few bitches.
They have all the farm tools
that have been contrived for eff
ficient and intensive cultivation

coanut cake, and other vittles,
showed up on the dining table
the other night. What is more
it was as eagerly gobbled up
and savoured as highly as those
vittles were.
Mr.. Brinkley's top pile of to-
bacco brought the highest price
for a single pile that's shown up
here this entire season. 1t sold
for $1,000 per hundred. He had
another pile that brought s66,
another for 81, and 10 that
brought $50 or better. All but
nine of the remainder brought
from $50 to so. He had 80 piles
in all.
The total poundage Of Mr..
Brinkley's sale today was 49,
1923. For this Mr.. Brinkley re
ceived a gross check - one in
which sales and warehouse
charges have not been deducted
for SO, TAI rs.
That poundage and that check
gave Mr.. Brinkley an average
price per hundred pounds Of
$57 .O3. This is the highest in
dividual average for a compar'
able amount of tobacco report
ed anywhere in all the flue'
cured belts for 1947.
From that kind of money anc
that kind of festive board you
might get the idea that Mr.

THREE PRISONERS
BEING SOUGHT BY
LOCAL POLICEMEN

Three prisoners who escaped
yesterday from state prison camp
3O6 on Gordon road, two from
the camp proper and n from
a road gang working near Leland,
were being sought last night by
camp officials, assisted by the
State Highway patrol.
Prison officials said at a late
hour last night that all three Of
the escapes were believed trap
ped in the vicinity of Leland and
that it seemed merely a mat
ter of time before they would be
run to the ground by bloodhound
being used in the chase.
Alton Skipper, of Tabor City
and Cherokee Castro of Phoenix
Ariz., are the men who escaped
from the camp at around 1886
yesterday afternoon. Both mer
were wearing prison apparel, &C.
cording to Capt. J. S. Williams
who reported the escape to local
police.

kind that takes a pound Of b,t-
ter, a dozen eggs, a pound of
sugar, a pound of flour, etc
and cocoanut cake. (There were
other items, but I just picked
out the headliners.)
There was a whole host of
friends, including most of the
buyers on the Wallace Tobacco
Market, warehousemen and
others. The guest list included
the following: C. F. and Frank
Blanchard, Mr.. and Mrs. C. w.
Blanchard, Tyson Lanier, Clar-
ence Carter, Russell Stokes,
Rivers Rouse, John Boney
Wells, Robert Wadsworth, Mr.
and Mrs. Marsie Liberman
and daughter, w. C. Worsley.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar C. Blanch-
ard, O.. C. Blanchard, Jr., Ken
meth Blanchard, William H.
Farrior, and Mr.. and Mrs.
George Jordan.
In the family at the party
besides Mr.. and Mrs. Brinklev.
OF course-were four sons and
their wives, Benjamin, Charlie,
Buren,, and Floyd. A daughter,
Mrs. Paule Knowles and her
husband. A brother, c.. C.
Brinkley. .
Among local tobacconists, be-
sides Oscar Blanchard and Will
liam H. Farrior, Tyson Lanier
and O.. c. Blanchard, Jr. al
ready listed, were F. B. Rey-
nolds, government inspector;
Sam Loftin, L: B. Jenkins buy
err; Grover Settles, American
buyer; Andrew Conner, Imperi-
al buyer; Bill Parker, Liggett-
Myers buyer; Guy Forrest, Elk
port buyer; and Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Sisk, Mr.. Sisk be-
ing the Reynolds buyer.
Mr.. Brinkley, for something
like IS years recognized as one
of the best tobacco farmers
anywhere tobacco is grown -
and worth a story himself for
his activities along this line -
makes only two sales of tobac-
co each year.
Today he sold for the second
time this season and his tobac-
co showed up as temptingly on
the warehouse floors as Mrs.
Brinkley's pound cake and CO.

AT CIVITAN MEET
Former Governor Speaks
On Anniversary OF Chad
bourn Civilian Club

CHADBOURN, Oct. 16. - The
Chadbourn Civilian Club last
night celebrated its first anniver-
sary with an elaborate dinner at
the Comet Club. President Her
man Carr gave as the main
achievements of the club during
its first twelve months a clean
up drive, the location of a dentist
In the community, the renewal
of the annual Strawberry Festi-
val, a good citizenship essay con-
test, and the erection of street
markers.
The after dinner speaker was
J. Melville Broughton, former
governor, who spoke on the quail
ties that make a good American
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-10-17

citizen. He emphasized that good
citizenship means that one has
a respect and reverence for the
traditions of this nation; that one
is willing to work and desires
self-reliance; that one must have
in his heart an urge to build g
great community; that one must
have a part in something benefic-
ial to others; and that one must
have faith.
The former governor in de-
lineating these qualities deplored
skepticism, cynicism and fear;
praised individual liberties and
freedoms; termed the United
States the only home of a free
press and free worship; gave
truth as the only guarantee of a
durable peace: decried the grow
ing number of able-bodied per-
sons who seek gratultIeS; PAID
tribute to free enterprise; urged
that crackpots and subversives
be shipped out of the country;
stressed that no cynic ever built
a great community; asked each
one to keep his enthusiasm; and
in concluding his address asked
his hearers to hold steadfast to
a simple, unsssailable faith.
Preceding the address Ed Ed
munds gave the Civilian Greed,
and after the opening song the
invocation was by the Rev. A.
c. Prevatte. A tribute was paid
the club by John S. Courtney,
Jr., lieutenant governor. The pro-
gram was in charge of Bill Ed
munds who introduced the speak

TALKS ON
 (I0 AFL MERGER
By MAX HALL

WASHINGTON, May 17.ltR- President Philip Murray said today the CIO rejected the AFL's propos- al for labor unity because it would have produced a labor movement welded to antiquated concepts and values"
 Murray said the CIO believes that "a united labor movement with strength, courage and vision can be fashioned in America" and will continue to work tirelessly for this.
 But he contended it could not be accomplished without certain fun damental principles of unionism as practiced by the CIO.
 His report on the CIO-AFL mer- ger negotiations of May 1-2, ad- dressed to all CIO unions, was un- animously approved by the CIO executive board.
 He said the AFL proposal was merely that all CIO unions enter the AFL.
