that of last year.
In comparing the prices paid
last year, ! find that the de-
crease in average by three to
four dollars has held steady dur
ing the first nine days of the
market" said Maultsby.
c. B. EnZor, sales supervisor
on the Fair Bluff market, told
the group, IT'S the common to-
bacco that is worrying our farm
ers. The major companies are
passing up tobacco this year
that they bought during the
1855 season"
While they conceded tina,
prices had increased Monday
and Tuesday of this week. i
was generally believed that the
small increase was due to bet
ter quality of tobacco.
Bill Hooks, former ASC state
committeeman, urged that CO.
lumbuS farmers not tackle the
problem alone.
ITS too great for Columbus
to tackle alone. It will take con-
,structive planning" said Hooks.
While no one had any defin-
tie solution to the problem that
will affect Columbus farmers
income by thousands of dollars.
1t was Hooks who remarked that
the burden could be taken off
of the producer.
Raise the price of cigarettes
and spread the burden through
out the country and not leave it
solely on the producer" he COM
'mented.
Clyde Wayne'S suggestion that
a committee be appointed to

Maulisby Hits
AT Padding Of
Market Reports

Those high tobacco market
averages you read in the daily
papers may be on their last legs
If r. G. MaultSby, sales super
visor of the Whiteville tobacco
market, has anything to say
about it.
Maultsby said last night that
he was preparing advertising
that would show not only the
averages claimed by neighbor-
ing tobacco markets but would
also give the actual averages as
published by the government.
1--WE are trying to give actual
averages but a few insist on
padding their figures. There are
two or three great offenders
nearby and I'll point them out
Thursday in our advertising
program" said Maultsby in ad-
dressing the special called meet
ing of the Columbus Farm Blu
reau to discuss current low
prices being paid tobacco farm
ers in the Border Belt.
Maultsby declined to call
names at last nights meeting.
1t is the general practice of
sale supervisors to send
figures on the days activities to
daily newspapers in the State.
1t is the padding of these fig
ureS by some supervisors that
has brought about the verbal at
tack by Maultsby.

They are good men. Every

Men from all walks of life

I'm happy to be able to give

The witness testified that
when Pickett picked him up in
the car earlier the day Of the
shooting, the former was singing
a song about Heaven opens its
portals to me-"
Defense Attorney James j.
Laughlin produced copy of the
number with a Song in My

lyrics sounded like those sung
by Pickett.
Although, it was brought out,
Pickett may have had a song in

School LIST Due
ForActionTo Today

| A list of proposed school con-
Istruction projects tagged at some
sis million was slated to go to
the District Board of Education
today.
The projects are for 1859.
the first year of a proposed new
lfive-year, 500 million building
program.
School officials hope to get APP
proval to submit the list to the
Commissioners next week. Along
with it, they plan to submit a
plan for financing the entire
five-year program by a Govern
Iment loan or a bond issue.
Most Of the SIS million in first
year projects will be elementary
Iclassrooms, one official said. A
ISIS million conversion Of Arm
strong High School to an occupa-
ltiOnal school also was considered
a likely item for inclusion.
There was doubt that the list
would include a proposed new
teachers college, an administra-
ton building or a consolidated
vocational school, all wanted by
school leaders.
However, school officials may
try to win a firm school board
commitment to these projects.
The board may be asked to ap-
Ipoval potential sites for the
vocational and college projects.
Other projects expected to
have high-priority status are a
Replacement for Hine Junior
High School and a new Amidon
Elementary School in the South

been summoned to a special
meeting at $3.50 pm. at the
Statler Hotel. 1t will probably be
their last.
The federation was born in
1916, when the Community
Chests of the District and the
five nearby jurisdictions decided
they needed to combine their ef-
forts more effectively.
Two Main Functions
The federation's two main
functions were to raise money
once a year and then divide it
among the six area Chests. who
would divide it again among
their agencies.
But formation of the United
Givers Fund this year, which
has almost reached its record
breaking $6.6 million goal to
finance the 112 Chest agencies
and 20 others, has taken the
first function away from the
federation.
The second function. budget
ing, is also being done by a
new group this year. A new
Inter-C Chest budget group is go
ing to cut the proceeds from the
lUGF campaign not just six
wayS-for six Chests-but 112
ways. budgeting all the Chest
agencies at one time in a COM
mon process.
When the ITO federation
board members assemble this
afternoon they will vote on a
resolution which liquidates their
organization and replaces ii
with a small streamlined group
to be known as the Interim
Board of the federation. The
board would be only II persons,
including the present fedora
ton officers, the presidents OF
the six area Chests and an ad-
ditional person from the Chest
i of planning council Of each OF
the six Chest areas.
Transfer Powers
The board, in its last officia
action, will be asked to vest al
its remaining powers and func.
tons in this interim board.
The board will have to figure
out ways of discharging thesC
functions without spending any
money, because when the fedora.
ton goes out the window, its for
mer income goes with it.

lions are these:
