Sorry. Circuits Are Busy"

It's an age old problem that every
one raves about Seems that the
telephone service between Tabor City
and Loris is discussed more frequent
~ than the weather Like the
weather there's nothing done about
it.
Editorials such as these are old hat
for the folks who run the Loris tele-
phone exchange They get one
about every month from the Loris
Sentinel
The humOr of the situation changes
when person has an important call
to Loris. Some have learned that it's
easier to drive the six miles than to
wait for the call to move from Tabor
City to Whiteville, Marion, Conway

Hurricanes Create Comedy OF Errors

It's evident the days of factual re-
porting have passed Last week,
newSpapermen, radio and television
announcers had field day They
wrapped up the two hurricanes in
some of the most spicy adjectives
tossed around in years.
Newspaper readers rushed for their
morning papers and gulped coffee be-
tween words of disaster, past or on
its way. Television viewers and radio
audiences were glued to their sets
Most reports sent them scurrying for
The underside of the nearest bed en-
pecting any moment to look up and
see huge waves flashing at their win
dowS.
We observed the movement of sew
eral newSpapermen and a television
cameraman the eve before Diane was
slated to hit the upper S. c. coast
Pictures were taken from the windows
OF passing automobiles and most like
Iy the stories were Matched between

Active Community Needs Deputy Sheriff

It's an unpleasant thought but facts
are facts and Tabor City has enough
activity to warrant fulItime deputy
sheriff in this immediate vicinity.
Local officers do an excellent lob
but they are not authorized to handle
matters outside the city limits. This
is at it should be.
While the sheriff's force isn't large
enough to afford fulltimc men for
each community, it seems that one
could be on immediate call In
recent weeks, it has taken as much
as five or six hours to get deputy
sheriff to Tabor City. Usually, by the
time he arrived the need was over.

fashioned for them to move around.

the extent of the damage =. At least,
that was the impression they left with
the spectators.
While playing up" stories and
hroadcaStS made for exciting reading
and listening, the primary duty -
public service was overlooked
The people rely on these various
medias for their information and they
want it straight.
For future hurricanes we offer this
advice - heed only the official adj
visory for the Miami weather bureau.
That is the document around which
all the other stories are built.
Course, there has been so much
criticism of the way Connie" and
"Diane' were handled that respon-
Sible officials may rule with an iron
hand in event of another hurricane

With Loris housing the nearest hos
pltal it seems important that depen-
dable and expedient phone service
De rendered this area . Several
doctors here serve on the Loris Hos
pltal staff =. When they are on
cali we wonder how many painful
moments are spent by patients wait
ing for calls to go through to their
doctor.
A letter was written by the Town
Board not too long ago asking that
the phone service between the two
communities be improved We
wonder what purpose it served. Still
takes too long to get call through.

We have no personal axe to grind
with Sheriff J. r. Pridgen but can't
help but wonder why Tabor City
seems to be so far off the beaten path
to politicians except near election
time
It's time the voters begin thinking
about the next election and letting
their vote go to the men who not
only promise to keep our interest at
heart but who keep their promises.
Meanwhile, it would be especially
nice TO be able to have deputy
sheriff on moments notice The
police department here would I'M
doubtedly appreciate it.

Don't Mix
Leaf Grades
BY CHARLES ID. RAPER

Every tobacco grower is SECT
ing 10 get the top dollar for his
tobacco on the warehouse floor.
1t requires only few minutes
TO sell the average growers
crop. Many growers this year
have seen their incomes reduced
sharply in these few minutes by
placing on the floor tobacco not
properly prepared for market.
Instances where mixed tobacco
is found has caused prices ON
individual lots TO drop as much
as $500 TO $500 per hundred
pounds. Instances where green
tobacco was not picked out OF
the grade has caused prices to
drop as much as $1,000 per hun
drcd pounds. Instances where
tobacco was placed OH the floor
too high in order has caused if
TO be graded wet" or "un-
sound" In all Of these cases. the
grower could have prevented
these losses by following several.
simple practices such as:
% Keep green and ripe to-
bacco separated.
(2) Keep tobacco clcar-frce
of string and foreign matter.
CD Do not wet tobacCo--kccp
i'll proper order for handling.
(4 Remove dead and burn.
leaves from each LOT.
(5) Keep each LOT uniform in
color and length.
t6) In the case Of bundle t.
bacco, keep heads small-aJout
the size of a one-half dollar.
BY following these simple
practices, growers can increase
the!r take home" pay from this
years crop.

A Fair Share OF Whistles And Leers

We can remember when Il woman
At the beach felt the hands of time
creeping up on her if she failed to
draw at least a fair share of the vol
whistles and stares.
Such attention accompanied with
laughter now gives vent to a law suit.
A young lady stepped into the surf
at Myrtle Beach She attracted
little, if any, attention until she moved
back onto the beach =.
Her bathing suit had pulled the
magic trick 1t became transparent.

saved her from further ridicule.
Her friend rushed up and knocked
her into the water which is a most
unhealthy way for friend to act.
However, it was an emergency so the
friendship remained intact as the
clothed but undressed young bather
protected herself from the leers of
the public with a towel.
1t was an unusual incident but not
much to get excited about. Just proves
anything can happen at the beach
and usually does.
