After being warned that hurri-

suggests:
Keep your radio or television on
and listen for latest weather warn

use a battery powered radio.
Pay no attention to rumors.
Get away from low-lying beach

be swept by high tides or storm
waves. If passage to high ground
is over road likely to be under

If your house is out of danger

The coop packs about 100000
bushels each season. Apples are
packed and sold in boxes, trays,

AT the J. R. Thomas Produce

Gen. Eisenhower and Rep. Jonas
plan to watch the finals of the
62nd annual National Amateur

overflow crowd at Charlotte's
Freedom Park. He is to fly to
Pinehurst from an engagement in
Columbia, S. C.
Rep. Jonas, on hearing that
Gen. Eisenhower had accepted
his invitation, commented, I'm
happy that he's coming. We can
show him wonderful time and
one of the finest golf courses in
the world.
"He will be well received and

Lincoln County farmers and
businessmen have returned home
after touring Western North Caro-
lima to get an idea of the fruit
and vegetable farming done in
that area.
Those making the tour by bus
learned that this type farming is
taken seriously in Western North
Carolina. For example, in Hender-
son County fruit and vegetable
growing produces an annual in.
come of $7,000,000.
The newly formed agriculture
committee of the Lincoln County
Chamber of Commerce sponsored
the tour with the idea that Lin
coin County farmers and business
men would be able to gain some
ideas as to how to increase farm
income in Lincoln County.
The Lincoln group was especi-
ally interested in the various
methods of marketing of ap-
pies and tomatoes. With this in
mind, Mr.. Proctor, Marketing
Specialist from N. C. State Col
lege, arranged the tour so that
the local group visited and stu
died the marketing methods of
seven different produce COM
panies and cO-Ops.
On Monday, the first stop was
made at the J. H. Stepp and Sons,
located at Dana. The Stepp opera
ton included the growing and
marketing of apples, beans, squash,
and cucumbers. The Steps also
buy and market such produce from
other farmers in the area.
