auctions this week, first after
the 19-day holiday. will exceed
4 half-million pounds despite
snow and Sub-zero weather.
Offerings, cut by the inclem-
ent weather, otherwise probably
would have provided the second
heaviest week of the season.
Now tobaccomen anticipate next
weeks sales will be heavy,
probably the final big week of
the 1861 crop. Better than 60
per cent of the crop now has
been sold.
Prices were substantially the
same as before the holidays,
but there was less leaf graded
in the top quality. This may
bring the dark-fired average
down slightly from it's present
1898 for the season. Lugs, par
ticularly thin. leaf ones, con
tinue as the strongest grades on
the market, bringing from six
to II dollars above peg prices.
The predominant middle grades
this week were bringing mostly
ST to So above pegs.
$65 Weeks Top
The weeks top continued at
sos for choice heavy red leaf.
That has been the market top
through this season.
Growers, in declining num-
bers, still were averaging in the
$50's. but the number selling in
the high $40's was still substan-
tial, reports from the three
warehouses show. There we're a

Council Adopts Attractive
Water Rate For Industries
Shedding Areas
Designated Just
In Nick OF Time

The town council adopted an
industrial water rate for the first
time, to accommodate future in
dustrial expansion outside the
town limits. The rate set by coun-
Gil will be the lowest in town rate,
with no additional charge for be-
ing outside the city limits. This
rate will apply only if the indus
try uses more than 500, 600 gallons
q month.
At present the largest industrial
user consumes some 10000 gal
Ions a month. All large users of
water are in the city limits at
present and they qualify for the
lowest rate, which is l8c per
thousand gallons. Longwood Col
lege is the largest single user,
consuming three to four million
gallons a month.
The rate was adopted to fulfil
an inquiry, but no details were
available as to any interested in
dustrial plant.
Town manager T. w. Bloom
field estimated the current cost
to produce a thousand gallons of
water at between 14-15 cents.
Sled Riding
The town council discussed sled
riding at length Tuesday night
and decided on what hills to rope
off for coasting. Hardly had the
decision been made before it
started showing and the plan put
into effect.
Beach street and Radford
street will be roped off for sled
ding. Traditional Buffalo street
is now a busy throughfare that
will be cleared and open for
traffic as soon as possible.
Beach street is easier to rope off,
provides a better hill for coasting
and is the safest place for the
children.
Buffalo lost much of its ap-
peal when the hill was graded
down some dozen years ago, but
it still attracted crowds for sleigh
riding. The town manager was
also given authority to close off
other streets that might be de-
slreable from a safety view
point.
The council continued its park
ing restrictions by eliminating
Parking on the north side Of
Oak street from Appomattox
street to the highway. This move

The council authorized several
purchases for the town. Low bid

Street was awarded ito F. L..

$500. Other bidders were j. H.
Wick Company and Putney

A New Sound and SONG
Puts Mel Torme on Top
By JAMES LEE
Contributing Writer

The Velvet Fog is dead;
long live the Soulsville
Swinger.
Mel Tonne, long recog-
nized by singers and must
clans as the best in the bust
ness but long ignored by the
record buying public. is back
among the Nations top
selling record artists.
Mel, who was dubbed with
the Velvet Fog title many
years ago by a New York
disc jockey, has earned the
new title for his work on his
latest hit, Comm Home,
Baby" for Atlantic.
The singer, a veteran of
the music business, has never
been the crooner the Fog"
nickname implies. He is at
home singing any kind of
music before any. kind of
audience, and his latest disc
proves it.
The rhythm and blues
"soul"-flavored tune was
written by Ben Tucker, bass
player with the Herbie Mann
group. The number was one
of the tracks on a recent
album by Mann, a jazz
flautist.
Tucker brought the song to
Neshui Ertegun. vice presi-
dent of Atlantic. with lyrics
written by Bob borough.
Ertegun Immediately thought
of Mel, and called the vocalist
in California. Mel returned
to New York to hear the tune
and flipped over it.
The rhythm and blues
background is provided by
an electric piano, guitar and
rhythm section with a vocal
group called the Cookies.
Comm Home, Baby" is
backed by Right Now" a

a boy for a year. l dated
other boys before l met
him but 1 think I am the
only girl he has ever dated.
1t bOthers me because he
never takes me TO get
something to eat after a

brings me straight home.
1t isn't because he can't
afford 1t, 1 happen to know
he can.
Another thing, he always
kisses me goodnight in the
car. / would rather be
kissed at the dOOr-it Just
seems like the perfect way
to say goodnight. Can you
tell me how to change
these things?

you mentioned. 1t could be
he has to be home at a GER
tain time which does not
leave time for after-the-
show-or-dance eating, and
he may not want to tell you
about it. He could also be
one of the few people who
do not eat between meals so
it hasn't occurred to him
that you would like a snack
before going home.
AS for kissing you good
night in the car, he may be
apprehenSive of your parents
opening the door just about
the time he kisses you and
believes it is better not to
take a chance of being en-
barrassed. If you are the only
girl he has dated, he hasn't
had varied dating experience
and he probably is a little
insure of himself.
You could suggest double
dating with another couple
who do get something to eat
after the show and see how
he reacts when someone else
is doing the driving. And,
rather than kiss you good
night in front of them he
might decide to do it at your
door-thereby breaking the
regular routine.
