strawberry preserves grown
and canned locally are just
as likely to end up on d break
fast table in London. England
as they are on your table here
in Tabor City. If you don't
believe il, Just ask Mrs. Todd
who runs the boarding house,
a familiar landmark on Live
Oak Street. She is widely
known for the palatable and
bountiful table she sets.
Last week a man picked up
six cases Of Mrs. TOdd'S straw
berry preserves and shipped
them to a friend in England
who lives about 80 miles from
London. This was the second
time that her preserves had
been sent TO England. While
this particular incident may
DC unusual. II is not uncom-
mon for her To- send preserves
to places widely scattered a.
round the country. For exam
pie, she quite often fills re-
quests from New York. Gcor-
gia, Florida. Missouri, Virgin
ia. and even to the Californian
West Coast.
Most of her customers are
private families who have been
guests at the boarding house
Once exposed to her fine
Southern cooking they do not
mind sending back for more
even when a substitute could
be gotten at the nearest groc-
cry store.
For example, Mrs. Todd be-
lieves that the man to whom
her strawberry preserves were
shipped in England was once

Candidates Speak AS Election Neurs
BY Charles Heatherly

With city elections less than
a week away, the political ar
ena here is as quiet as a flock
OF sheep grazing on country
pasture. Most of the activity
so far has come from individ-
uaI ,isiting by the candidates
quietly soliciting votes from
friends, neighborS, and Other
fellow citizens.
Mayor howard Harrelson is
running unoppoSed for firth
term and as long as he can
count on at least one vote in
next Tuesdays election, he is
sure to be at the victory celc-
bration.
Four candidates are running
for the two town commissions
er posts which are up FOR
grabs this time. Up for re-
election are Willard c. Wright
and Phil Hughes. Wright has
served as commissioner for II
years and Hughes, 10 years.
Campaigning as newcomers
are Ned Butler and Make
Watts.
Each of the candidates was
asked to prepare a statement
for the Tribune concerning the
platform upon which he bases
MS candidacy for commission
er. They appear in alphabetic-
al order.
Ned Butler
Il have always been inter-
eStcd in town affairs and am
concerned with ways in which
can help improve Tabor City,
especially in areas of better
sewage disposal and extending
sidewalks. If we hope to at
tract more industry and keep
the town growing, we're going
to have to do something about
the sewage and water facilit-
les which are presently oper-
ating at capacity.
Another reason why | am
running is that there has been
definite lack of interest in
town government and | would
nope that bg my candidacy we
can bring about greater inter-
est and enthusiasm in our city
affairs.
Don't misunderstood me
and think that I'm gripping for
I'm not. In fact. ! think the
town is in the best shape its
ever been. But we can't stand
still, we must keep moving"
Phil Hughes
Unlike some politicians who
are long-winded and hard 10
turn off once they get wound
up, Phil Hughes reply was
modest and brief.
THE town has grown and
proSpered and the bonded in
debtedneSS has been reduced
by several thousand dollars
since I've been serving on the
board of commissioners. If re-
elected, ! promise continual

ment and 10 continue to serve
