she and Mrs. Jacobs have beer
correspondents as cousins, includ
ing the time she was lately il
in Germany. From there anc
from Italy, where she had a vaca'

t~eresting letters.
Mrs. Anna Knudsen was Mrs
Larson when she lived in Laurel
some 80 years ago. Her husband
Larson died, and a few years later
she also lost her only child, a
grown son. The widowed mother
went back to the land of her birth,
Denmark, and married a man
named Knudsen who later died.
During the years she and Mrs.
Jacobs kept up their correspond
ence, except for the period when
Denmark was occupied by the
Germans.
Home again in Worthwhile, Miss
Sours recently wrote to Mrs. ia
cobs, saying:
Owe been busy showing my
pictures around since 1 got home.
Everyone seems very interested
in the slides.
II got to Mrs. Knudsen's on a
Monday and stayed until Friday.
l took an electric train out to
Vekso and then a taxi from there
to Herringlose. That was about
two kilometers. By mistake Mrs.
Knudsen was expecting me earl
Ter. The telegram was wrong.
She lives in a cute little matched
roof house in a little hamlet. She
had tea and Danish p~asteries all
ready when l got there.
'0The next day we went to a
nearby town and visited the cathe-
dral where the Danish kings are
CURED. We had lunch there and
then went home for tea. The
next day we went to Lyngby
where her sister lives. We had
lunch with her and then her ne
phew Svend drove us to Fred
r~icksborg castle. We went through
there. Mrs. Knudsen certainly
knows Scandinavian history. She
could tell me all about the things
in the castle. She certainly is in
teresting and she loves to read.
Too bad she isn't able to get
more books. We had tea at the
hotel across from the castle and
then went back to Svend's for
supper. He has a very nice wife
and a cute little boy.
"The next day it rained so we
just stayed home and enjoyed
ourselves. l was afraid Mrs.
Knudsen was going too much.

ing last week heard Sidney Gold
finch, brother A. E. Goldfinch,
president of the local club, dis
cuss life in South America where
he has been missionary for
II years.
Mr.. Goldfinch, who is a mis-
sionary with the Southern Bap.

what people need all over the
world is character and that the
absence of character makes for
a poor economy and a lower
type civilization. He said that

thousand population that no
modern sewage and water sys-
tens are present in Paraguay,
South America, the country in
which, he is now working.
He also pointed out the vast
financial possibilities for persons
with character and intelligence
in that country where many re-
sources are practically undeve'
loped.
Mr.. Goldfinch has been in the
United States about two months
He is spending a one year vaca'

L,0RIS LEAF MARKET
REPORTS AUGUST SALES

of the month last years sales
are only one and two-thirds as
much as this years.
The quality of the offerings
and the average daily prices
reached a peak during the third
week of the market. Throughout
August this year the majority
of the tobacco has been in the
middle grades - good, fair, and
low. Up through the third week,
however the quantity of better
grades brought to market grad
ually increased. During the last
week of August there has been a
decrease in the amounts of these
grades and sharp increase OF
common tobacco on the market.
Supervisor Miller estimated
that approximately thirty-five
percent of the years crop re-
mains to be brought to market.
Consequently blocked, or nearly
blocked, sales are expected
throughout the nine days re-
naming before the Loris Tobac'
co Market closes for the year.
