TO Be OR NOT TO BE

1t was rather surprising to find
only eight merchants in Tabor City in
terested enough in the Yam Festival to
turn out to publicized meeting at the
Legion Hut last Thursday night. Mat
ter of fact, it showed practically no
interest at all except among those eight
in attendance.
Eight merchants could not decide
for the more than 100 in Tabor City
whether they deem the yam festival a
worthy project or not. Because of this
lack of representation; another meet
ing has been set for next Monday night
at the Legion Hut and this time full
dinner will be served. Now we think
it is fine to have dinner meetings, but
we do feel that it is disgraceful situa-
ton when some added at traction has
to be offered in order to get the mer-
chants of the town out to a meeting as
important as this meeting is.
The meeting next monday night is
for tn . exact purpose of making final
decision regarding the 1851 Carolinas
Yam Festival. There are those who be-
ieve that the Yam Festival has been
detrimental to the sweet potato in
dustry. Others believe it has been a
boost to the industry. The future OF
the event rests in the hands Of the r1er-
chants in Tabor City, yet there are not
enough persons sufficiently interested
to attend called meeting for the pur-
pose of discussing the situation.
We feel that every member of the
merchants association owes it to the
community to be at the meeting next
Monday night. The Yam Festival has
been the greatest publicity angle ever
conceived in Tabor City. Nothing 9TH
er than the fights and murders of the
old forgotten days has brought Tabor
City's name in to the limelight as much
as has the festival.
Our opinion first, last and always

The history of our country during
the last 50 years shows that old-fash-
toned Democracy has been gradually
and steadily pushed aside. For many
wears the Administration of the Gov
eminent has controlled all problems
such as farm support, foreign aid, wage
increases and appropriations, commod-
ity credit corporations, military unfit
cation, minimum wages, increases tor
hospitals, the National Act of rent con-
troll. We have tackled thousand ways
to strengthen our National Govern
nent. We have boosted industries and
business in every direction. But many
hopes have miscarried, largely because
we have been fighting wars over
large part of the world.
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1951-03-14

will be that to drop the festival would
be serious mistake. One that within
itself might ruin the yam business here.
However, we do agree that perhaps
some features of it should be changed
and that there must be some added at
fractions to keep the people coming to
town. There has to be some additions
made, and it is for the merchants group
to decide what. .-.-* ~. =. ...
The biggest objection voiced by
farmers and sweet potato people to the
festival is the fact that it increased the
quantity of potatoes grown. 1t is our
belief that the yam festival itself has
had nothing at all to do with the num-
Der of potatoes grown. Last year great
number were added to the past years
crop because of the poor year which
cotton had had the year before. Cotton
farmers were looking for something
new to plant.
This year you can grow all the cot
ton you want to grow. Furthermore
there has been substantial increase in
the tobacco acreage. For those reasons,
sweet potatoes this fall will bring their
best price on record. That's our honest
opinion. Farmers around Tabor City
will not plant as many sweet potatoes
this year as they should. But the price
is going to be good.
And while, in our opinion, the yam
festival was in no way responsible for
the amount of vans grown, it is our
opinion that something has been &C
complished in the way of better quality
potatoes, and that the effects of the
festival on quality will be shown for
many years to come.
It's your duty to decide whether
YOU favor the festival or not and to at
tend next Mondays meeting and cast
YOUR vote. It's now or never for the
yam festival.

Dion said that Gull Atlantic

layed efforts to get the ferry
service in operation. Gulf Allan

The ferry service means that
truckers can bring their produce
down the Overseas highway
from the mainland go right on
the ferry, and make direct de-
iiveries throughout the Island
Republic. Cuban truckers can do
the same from Havana via Key
West up to the mainland.
The ferry service between the

ditionally so close, was abandon

A mechanical device never be-

American life until it gets in
volved in a whodunit. The deep
freeze demonstrates such en-
trenchment by appearances in
this new mystery story.
Most of the action takes place
in Washington. D. c. after Josh

disappears. Various members Of
his family. as well as the in
evitable gardener and secretary,
become involved in the question
ing and subsequent events.
Exeec ting for one lady faint

tendency to dyspepsia in another,
the characters and corpses are
alarmingly Unconditional, Three
successive corpses make their
appearance politely ind with a
minimum OF blood spilled, and
the characters who are still alive
go about their daily activities in
a restrained and urban fashion.
And the murderer is a perfect
