OLD STAKE ROAD NEXT

With the letting of the contract for the cons
ruction of the Pireway bridge, those interested clt
zens of Tabor City who have done so much toward
improving the highways in this area, need now to
focus their attention upon the Old Stake road from
Emerson to Grist, among Others.
The old Stake road, long important farm to
market road has many people living thereon who
call Tabor City home. Hundreds of people along
that highway through good agricultural section
have the worst kind of difficulties getting over it
during bad weather when many bring produce, to-
bacco and potatoes into our town for marketing.
few years ago the road was paved from labor
CITY into Emerson distance of about three miles,
but there's still no top the road after you cross
the railroad There's seven eight mile strip there
that deserves the attention of the good citizens work
ing toward improved transportation facilities for the
peoples in the
The road is heavily travelled 1t is a school bus
route Three different mail travel it incud-
ing Tabor City, Chadbourn and Clarendon. There
are three churches on the road namely, the Emerson
Baptist Church, the Claredon Free Will Baptist
Church and the China Grove Missionary Baptist
church.
This is worthy project and one in which we
should devote great deal of effort. Governor W.
Kerr Scott has done great deal for the rural roads
in our section For that can be thankful But
we still have other roads in need of attention. The
Old Stake road should be right up there at the top
of the list.

Ku Klux Khan States Public Meeting,
Cross Burning In Horny November II

Attached to The Tribune front
door during Halloween night
and scattered at other places
throughout Tabor City were red
printed circulars advertising a
public meeting of the Ku Klux
Khan which will be held in Horny
county Saturday night Novem-
Der II at $50.
This red circular, the first
known move by the xxx since
the mysterious killing of Police
man Dan Johnson in Myrtle
Beach several weeks age, states:
Public Speaking, The Ku Klux
Khan will hold a public demon.
stration and cross burning in
Horny county Saturday night.
Nov. II, 1950-8:30 p. m. This
public speaking will be held be-
tween Mullins, S. G. and Loris,
S. C. on Highway OF, which is
approximately 8 miles from Null
Inns, S. C. The public is cordi
ally invited to attend! Come
and hear the Khan side of the
recent Myrtle Beach affair. Hear
what the Khan is and what it
stands for. Speakers will be the
Grand Dragon of Florida and
the Grand Dragon of South
Carolina. This public demonstra-
ton is being sponsored by the
Association of Carolina Klans."
In so far as is known, the cir
culating of this notice is the
first semi-open invitation for
public participation in a Klan
demonstration and cross burn
ing.
The basis for holding such a
meeting is a matter of conjec-
ture but best guesses seem to
insinuate that the xxx deems
it necessary to defend itself
from the the reams of adverse
publicity which has resulted
from the shooting of Johnson
during a demonstration in the
colored section of Myrtle Beach.
Persons arrested for conspir'
acv to incite mob action have
been set free by a Grand Jury
and no action has been taken to
apphrend his killer, since the
Klansmen were set free in so far
as the public knows.

WILLIAMS TOWNSHIP SCHOOL
GETS DRIVER TRAINING CAR

The Williams township school
this week was given new 1880
Model Chevrolet by Prince Mot
OF Company of Tabor City to use
during the school year as train
car for students, and thus be-
came the first school in Column
bus county to inaugurate such
a program.
A. E. Goldfinch, manager OF
the local Chevrolet firm, made
the presentation to Principal R.
L. Randall Wednesday at the
school.
The new car is equipped with
dual controls and the instructor
can apply breaks and clutch to
the vehicle while trainees are
under the wheel learning how to
drive. This safety measure has
taken much of the risk out OF
teaching students how to drive
The driving course at Williams
township is being taught by Mrs
Randall, wife of the principal
A good portion of the course Is
confined to text books but every
student does get an opportunity
to get some actual experience
under the wheel. The same
course was taught at the Will
liams school last year but no
training car was furnished.
The car has been turned over
70 the Williams school for thel1
use during the school year. AT
the close of the year, it is to be
returned to Prince Motor com
pany here. The same program IS
being carried out in many sec
tons of the country. Both Lorls
and Aynor in Horny county nave
similar courses and training cars
there are being supplied by the
Prince Chevrolet company OF
LOris.

RED DEVILS
TRAMPLE
WHITEVILLE

Coach S. w. Caruso's Tabor
City Red Devils walked all over
Whiteville's elven in a conference
encounter at Legion Field in
Whiteville last Friday night
taking their third game in four
years by the onesided score of
29-0.
This traditional battle of coun
ty grid powers was never in
doubt from the opening minutes
as the Red Devils came up with
one of their better performances
of the season, despite the injury
to quarterback Bermey Stevens
who didn't dress for the game.
Paving the way for the win for
the locals was the passing OF
Captain Bill Rogers, at quarter
back, the shifty running of Dial
ton Anderson and the pass catch
ing of Ends Gene Burroughs
Red Cox and Make Watts.
A blocked kick by End Charles
Cox set up the games initial
score. With the game compare

head banged into one of Rudy
Williams punts in the Whiteville

Carroll, recovered on the 81. Dial

NowIs Time ToEntice1ndustry

Nov is the best time in his
tory to get started in industrial
development and the people of
Tabor City find themselves in a
good position to procure their
share" H. P. Cotton, of the
North Carolina Department of
Conservation and Development
told a large delegation of local
citizens at the Legion Hut here
Monday night.
With all local mems civic
clubs melting jointly for the pur.
pose of discussing industrial de-
velopment in the area in conjunc.
ton with the recent survey made
by the communities in the coun-
ty, four authorities on the ways
and means of enticing industrial.
lists into reestablishing factory
sites spoke briefly to a capacity
audience.
Mr.. Cotton, of Raleigh, point
ed out that with the present de-
tense program underway, with
labor troubles besetting tn e
North and with the atomic age
fear, there is a great movement
to decentraliZe industry and for
IN at reason North Carolina
found itself in an enviable posi-.
ton. He told of specific instances
of industry moving into various
parts of North Carolina and
throughout the South.
I'VE are in a position of af.
fording industry" accessible is
olation," or that is a location
we'll established in SO far as
transportation facilities are con-
cerned but yet far enough away
from congested areas to be at.
tractive to the expanding indust.
rialists," Mr.. Cotton said.
Also speaking briefly was R.
B. Jobb, vice-president of the At
lantic Coast Line railroad in
charge of industrial develop
ment, who said that "for Is
years my company has been
working toward procuring in
dustry in the sections served by
our railroad. 1 have found that
it is one of the most competitive
businesses that I have found
that I have ever seen. To get in
dustry you have to have the
complete cooperation of every
person in the community. BY
working hard and proving to
industry that you actually are
DESTROYS of having them locate
in your community, you can
bring them here
George Conant, of the Tide
Water Power Company, one of
the leaders in this county's eff
forts to procure industry, spoke
of his two recent trips to New
York at which time he contacted
two industrial firms who have
expressed some interest in rclo
eating in Columbus county. Mr..
Conant had nothing definite to
report on the two contacts but
that they we're interested and
would be followed up.
Mark J. King, Jr., of Southern
Pines, the industrial engineer
who conducted the survey in
Columbus county few months
ago. described some of the pro
iccts that have been carried
through to realization in Moore
county. where he held a similar
survey. He also pointed out that

individual community is para

PARIS, May 13.-A visiting
American ballet troupe today was

Paris Opera Ballet Corps.
The troupe, the Page-Stone Bal

a three weeks engagement this

ran into an almost unprecedented
hail of boos and catcalls.
Yesterday. Thomas Fisher, busi-
ness manager for the troupe, as
serted that Monday nights boos
were the concerted work of Lifar
and his followers in the Paris
Opera, in retaliation for demon
strations against Lifar in New

City Center Theater was picketed
by persons protesting Liars ap-
pearance. Posters denounced him
as a Nazi collaboration. Lifar was
officially cleared of collaboration
charges but was kept from work.

years.
Ruth Page, who shares top bill

with Fishers appraisal of the sit

There was no immediate COM
ment from Lifar.
Monday night was the opening
when, according to French custom,
most of the orchestra seats were
filled by celebrity guests. The bal
comics on such occasion are put up
for sale.
"Lifar's friends bought a block
of seats in the balcony" said Fish
er. They arranged it so that the
