the art should first become famil-
lar to all people goes to the root
of operas hold on other countries
The people know it and love it.
He knows. too, that it had its
inception in the very life of a
nation and for that reason he
hopes that community efforts at
producing opera will in time lead
to native composers writing for it
and to the eventual working to-
gether of various factions.
How opera is produced and the
responsibility of many depart
ments as well as their integration,
lis told at length in the first part
Of his book. So comprehensive a
picture and the reasons for exist
ing conditions have never been so
clearly given before. Not only does
he cover the mechanics of pro-
duction, including the financial
disbursements, but he goes into
the less material fields, particu-
larly why this country has been
willing for so long to listen to
opera in foreign, languages.

Apple Market
May Improve
By GILBERT GUSLER

APPLE MARKETS. nave SCaEIeQ
lower than year ago but are likely
to have a much better finish than
the disastrous slump of last season.
Here are some of the main elements
in the situation:
/. The commercial crop, estimated
at 119,900,000 bushels, is 3 percent
smaller than last year but 10 percent
over the 1940-49 average. 1t is about
equal to the quantity sold or used
from the 1850 or 1949 crop after de-
Quoting the amount abandoned or
dumped. Average quality is good,
although scab is severe in areas
which had much rain. This probably
will lead to some abandonment this
year.
2. Competition from other fruits
probably will be greater this season.
i The September condition of oranges
was about 3 percent better than a
year earlier. The pear crop was
slightly larger than in 1850. Pros
poets for the grapefruit crop are
nearly 80 percent below last year,
but it is not strong competitor of
apples.
3. Consumer income, one of the i'm
portant factors determining the level
of apple prices, probably will aver
age slightly higher in the next or
10 months than year previous. The
general level of food prices also is
likely to average higher. Per capita
consumption of apples has been in a
down trend for at least 40 years. It
averaged 22.8 pounds in 1850 COM
pared with 30.4 pounds in 1859.
This trend has not stopped, but
higher incomes may help maintain
the per capita rate this season. Then,
the number of consumers will be
about ~ percent greater than last
season.
4. The government viii again buy
apples for school lunches. Its pur-
chases for that purpose last year
were about 100000 bushels. The
rate of purchase this year will de-
pend on market conditions.
5. Military purchases of both fresh
and processsed apples probably will
be larger than last season because Of
the. increased size of the armed
forces.
6. Due to heavy carryover O
processed apple products, professor
probably will buy fewer apples thai
last season. Can apple juice concen
trate recently developed may pro
vide an outlet for limited quantit
of apples this year and an increasin
amount in future years.
z. Net exports probably will b
somewhat larger than last season
when about 100000 bushels. wer
exported and 100000 imported. Th
export subsidy program is the sam
as last year and is being starte
early.
8. Harvest of fall and winter v;
= rieties is week or two earlier tha
y last season. Prices are SO to IS cen
a bushe1 or box lower than a We;
:. ago. Owing to the earlier harve
w. and lower prices and the fact TIL
fall varieties make up larger pr
is portion of the crop than year al
en- and that storing was not profitab
en- last season, more Of the crop pro
> ably will be sold and consumed du
,0a ing the fall than in 1850. If tho
y. sales are heavy enough, they W
re. leave fewer apples for DISTRIBUTE
- after Dec. than last year and CT
led ate healthier winter market.

MELVIN SWIrNDELL
NEW HYDE COUNTY
CLERK OF COURT
Succeeds Harold Williams,
Who Resigned Last Week
to Move to Norfolk

In surprise move last week,
Harold Williams of Swan Quar-
ter resigned as Clerk of Superior
Court in Hyde County, and rec
commended Melvin H. Swindell,
who was promptly appointed by
Judge Chester Morris.
Mr.. Swindell and Dick Lupton
were candidates along with Mr..
Williams for the office last year.
Mr.. Williams was the winner, and
took office in December.
After serving four months, Mr..
Williams decided to quit and go
where he could earn more money,
and advanced the reason also that
it is necessary because of his
wife's illness which requires her
to live in Norfolk.
Both are popular men and Mr..
Williams was making many
friends in office by his courtesy to
the public.

AUTO MISHAP TAKES LIVES
OF TWO SLADESVILLE MEN
NEAR BELHAVEN SUNDAY
Grim Tragedy Overtakes Harry Brooks and
Walter Sawyer on u. S. 264; Life of Father
of Driver Spared; Funeral Services Held
Today at Mount Olive Christian Church.

Funeral services were held
Thursday today for Harry
Skinner Brooks, 54a and Walter A.
Sawyer, 40, victims of an automo-
bile crash Sunday night on US.
264, four and half miles east of
Belhaven.
Although the services were held
at Mt. Olive Christian Church, the
one for Mr.. Brooks, held first, in
cluded Masonic rites, while the
service for Mr.. Sawyer, two hours
later, did not.
Brooks was killed instantly
when his 1916 Buick left the road
at the beginning of a curve, where
the highway intersects a rural
road. The car travelled 342 feet
after it left the pavement, turned
over several times and came to a
stop few feet from house oc-
cupied by Frances Windley, color
ed. Patrolman ]. G. Thomas, who
investigated, said.
According to Jack Gaylord, de-
putty coroner, Brooks died of a
broken neck. His body was hurled
1914 feet from the car. He was
riding on the front seat, between
Walter Sawyer, who was driving,
and C. ]. Sawyer, father of Wal
ter Sawyer and father-in-law of
Brooks. The elder man sustained
minor injuries.
When the car, which had been
headed east, came to stop, it
caught fire, but the flames were
quickly extinguished by occupants
of the house and passerby, who
pulled C. J. and Walter Sawyer
from the automobile.
Walter Sawyer, brought to the
hospital in Belhaven, died late
Monday afternoon. All the ribs on
one side were crushed and he re-
ceived internal injuries.
Brooks, who family lived at
Montgomery, near Sladesville,
was home on a 3O-day leave. He
was a chief engineer serving on
merchant ships and worked out of
New York, although he was nat
i've of Hyde County. A son of Mr..
and Mrs. David Brooks, he mar
ried Miss Roxy Sawyer. Besides
his wife, he is survived by two
daughters and a son.
Walter Sawyer, whose home
was Terra Celia, married Miss Ma

HYDE ANTI-RAT
CAMPAIGN APRIL "a

Machinery has been set in mo-
ton to rid Hyde County of one of
its worst pests-the rat. The coun-
ty-wide rat campaign sponsored
by the Hyde County Agricultural
Workers Council has been set for
Tuesday, April "a.
Warfarin, the new wonder rat
killer, will be used as the poison.
A 5-pound package of this bait
ready to put out will cost only
SITS. The material should be
placed where cats and other do
mestic animals cannot reach it, as
injury may be caused to these an
imals if continued feeding takes
place.
The new agent, Warfarin, is cd
orless and tasteless and rats do
not hesitate to eat it. Death is
caused by feeding on this mater
ial for five days to two weeks. The
agent kills by causing the rodent
to bleed to death internally.
If a package of this bait is plac-
ed on each farm on April "a in
suitable containers for rats, it is
believed that seventy-five percent
of all rats will be dead within a
two weeks period. Detailed infor-
nation regarding this campaign
can be secured from any distribu.
