Pass 3 Million
Pounds This Week

Last weeks auction of 541.11'

cured tobaccos.
Last weeks general floor av
erage for fired leaf was

tWo-day week before the holi-
day closing.
The sun-cured tobacco average
rose l03 to $34.77 for the week.
Strong demand on Tugs and
common grades. and less wet
tobacco combined to help the
averages.

For the season, the dark fired
average now is 1913, while sun
cured auctions have averaged
S34.80 for the season.
The markets this season have
operated for II sales days. in
GLIDING the three-day opening
week and the two-day week
just before the Christmas clos
ing.
Last season at the comparable

As tobacco auctions resumed
Oh the three Virginia fire-cured
markets. demand was weaker
during the week ending January
II than on the two days prior
to Christmas holidays. One of the
major foreign companies complet-
ed its purchases before Christmas
and, therefore was not on the

spirit behind the young men S
movement. He pointed out that
Jaycee is now the third largest
community service organization
in the world and is represented
in "a nations. He also noted
that membership in the United
States now totals almost 200 900.
Your organization is doing
more than any other in the
world today to advance the
cause Of freedom and curb COM

Billy Graham to Conger in Aus

had been able to determine for
the compliment the fundamen-
tai nature of the organization

Police Report Shows Town
Accident Rate Up In 1861
Third Street Top
Location With "a
OF 50 Accidents

Accidents in FarmVille were
more numerous. but less expen-
sive in terms of PROPERTY dam
age in 1861, Police Chief Otto S.
Overtcn's annual report to
Town Council reveals.
The report shows there were
So accidents in 1861 compared
to 43 the year before. The aver
age automobile accident caused
$342 damage to the two cars in
volved. In 1860 the damage figure
was slightly higher at $3.50 per
accident.
Third street, as usual, proved
to be the most dangerous in
town. It's four lanes ard num-
crous intersections provided the
location for "a of tine 50 acct
dents in a years time. Only six
accidents occurred on busy High
street, the second major route
through town. Nine accidents
took place on Main street or al
one of its intersections.
For the safety conscious driv-
er, the report shows it is much
safer to drive in the daytime.
Thirty-eight of the So town ac-
cidents took place at night.
Evening accidents occurred most
frequently between 6 and 9 pm,
but SOME took place at all hours.
No particular peak hour stood
out in the annual summary.
The worst month for accidents
was November which had a total
OF nine. October was close with
eight. December. with only six,
proved to be the worst month
in terms of property damage.
Property damage in December
amounted to $3.50.
The Christmas week end con-
tributed to that high amount of
property damage: Three acct
dents on December % involved
damages totaling 1920.
July almost escaped the sum-
mary. Only one accident hap
pened in the month, and it was
a minor one with property dam
age Of $l25. January, normally
one Of those bad winter months
was surprisingly good with two
accidents.
The month of February had
three accidents and September
tailed five. June was quiet with
three. March, April. May and
August each had four.
Eighteen streets saw accidents
during 1861. The report does not
detail personal injuries. but the
town went through another year
without a fatality.
