Tabor City's sweet potato
market showed q slight increase
in average the latter part of the
week and pushed the season av-
crage to $500 a bushel as plans
we're made to close the market
on Saturday.
Ed Walden, secretary of the
local Marketing Company, said
,oday that l72,8O2 bushels had
been sold for a total of $685.
'49.34 averaging $3.50.
This is mighty good aver
age considering the poor aver
age at the beginning of the sea-
son. said MIR. Walden.
Potatoes were damaged heav-
lily this year by excessive rains
resulting in a lower season av-
rage than was posted last year
when potatoes brought the
farmer S2.58 per bushel.
The potato season ends, offici-
ally, Saturday at II O'Clock
noon when the market closes.
Closing date and time was an
nounced today by Mr.. E. W.
Fonvielle. president of the Mar
keting Association.
Marketing officials said that
potato buying would continue
throughout the remainder of the
week from 9 a. m. to p. m
except for the closing day.

Mayor Asks
Coo perution
For SD Duy

Pledging the full support III
the city government, Mayor H
G. Cameron today asked every
resident of Tabor City to join
in making a success of the Ma
TONS second annual SD Day
Safe Driving Day-Thursday
December |.
Mayor II. G.. Cameron an
nounced his appointment of
James Erskin Young as SD Day
Director for Tabor City.
The program has the endorse
.ment of President Eisenhower
Governor Luther Hodges, and
every other Governor in the
United States. 1t is sponsored by
the Presidents Committee for
Traffic Safety in cooper alton
with scores of national organi-
cations.
The goal this year will be to
cut down on traffic accidents
not only on SD Day, itself. but
tor the 2l-day period beginning
November 2l-"S-D minus To-
and continuing through De-
cember 11--"S-D plus TO-.
Mayor H. G.. Cameron said:
THE purpose of the SD Day
campaign is the same this wear
as last: To prove that we can
reduce traffic accidents by our
own personal actions, as motor
ISIS and pedestrians.
Last year, SD Day did, in
fact, produce a reduction in the
Nations deaths and injuries,
and in the number of accidents.
This year, the urgency is even
greater, because the nationwide
death toll has been climbing
again.
Nobody thinks that the streets
and highways can suddenly be
rnade safe by a short campaign,
building up TO special day.
Nor is the SD Day program be-
ing undertaken with the idea OF
encouraging people to avoid ac-
cidents for a single day, and
then to forget safety.
THE SD Day objective is to
call attention to the necessity
for sound, proven, year-around
safety programs, supporteG-the
year around-by every citizen.
"This campaign offers us the
incentive to take stock OF our
behavior-as individuals, and as
a community-in the matter of
traffic safety. 1t is an opportun-
ity to remind ourselves of our
moral and civic responsibility
for safe driving and safe walk
ing. II is a chance to demon
strate that, IL we can hold down
accidents for one day, or three
weeks, we can do so every day"
