C. lie PER COPT—U.N AND $4.00 A YEAR Civitan Fry Fish For Fieldhonse Project; 250 Plates Are Served tsiacK Trying pans, an open lire, the smell of fish frying. ;.nd plenty of hungry Iried-fish lovers all led to the success of the Civitan fish fry Monday night at Lake Tabor . About 250 people lined up for a plate of fish, slaw, and I corn dodgers between G and 8 p. m., while Civitan members busily kept the fires burning, the fish frying, and the plates lull . The main purpose of the whole thing, other than feed ing hungry multitudes, was to raise money needed to eom ple te a new fieldhouse being built by the Civitans on Civi tiin field . Winston Gore, chairman of the ficldhouse project reports that the successful fish fry was big step toward completing the fieldhouse. "We are hoping to pour the concrete floor by August IS in time for the beginning of foot 1 all practice," he said . Gore pointed out that the Civitans are trying not to burden the merchants and oth er citizens by asking for indi \ idual contributions for the project, but that they are try ing to raise the necessary funds by projects such as Monday's lish fry. "The Civitans want to thank both the Rotary Club and the Jaycees fur their support in mteting with us at the fish fry," Gore said . "The fieldhouse will provide a place for teams to rest in during games, so they will not have to stay on the field in cold weather," he said . The fieldhouse will have two dressing rooms, one for each team, and five showers in each dressing room. In addition, there will be a first aid room, public rwtrooaac • (tormge room for equipfWnt, and • concession StaftdH operated by the scho^ r , f "We want to stress that the iieldhouse will be used for all sports; not just football," Gore said . Students in the agriculture department did a large part of the work that has been done thus far on the fieldhouse. "We secured lumber at Sun ny Point. W. F. Cox Company donated a truck to haul it in, and the students aided by Fred Lay and Sam Jackson, did much ol the framing for the building," Gore said . 1 The Civitans hope to have aie fieldhouse completed in me for the first home football Efctrru- this fall. r . ^ J n Miss Columbus County Goes To State Contest Judy Wilson.

An ambulance removed Suggs to the hospital. "It's A Pleasure To Take The Bus" - On Kansas City Capers BY SUE LAYFIELD Two Tabor City families re turned last week from a vaca tion they will probably never forget. They left a trail of cur ious on-lookers and at least | several puzzled policemen all the way from Tabor City to Kansas City. Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow Gra inger and children, Kathy, Barbara, and Clark, and Mrs. Woodrow Williamson and their daughter, Linda traveled ! 2919 miles in a most unusual I vehicle to visit the Wniiain- | m ns' Daughter ami son-in-law, < Mr. and Mrs. J. F Cox in Kan . sus City, Missouri. The trip itself perhaps was I not so unusual, but their means c£ t ranspoi tation was quite new «ind remarkable. The • l group traveled in a vehicle known as the "Dodge Motor • •utile,' .iiu. the name tells much of its nature- The home looked much like a bus from j the outside, but was very much 1 « home on the inside. It was u 1102 model, made tor the first time this year by the Douge Motor Company. It was 20 feet long and feet wide. : The bus was equipped with I II u kitchen, bath, dining and liv ing areas, and sleeping caput. ity for six, but with three' small children, it was not : crowded at all with eight . The arrangement of the home was very practical, be cause during the day, the beds folded up to make sofas, and passengers can enjoy all the comforts of home" while trav eling along at 5ft mph. The Graingers did not prepare meals in the home, but could easily have done so if they had wished, for it was equipped with a complete kitchen. The travelers left Tabor City on Thursday, June 21, with Knox Jernigan as their driver. Jernigan said the bus : was easy to handle on the road ' —much easier than pulling a conventional house trailer. They were on the road for two way* going to Kansas City, and they report that "everywhere we stopped, the people were so j amazed and curious that thev i filled the bus, and there was no room for us." When the group arrived In Kansas City, they called the j luial police to ask if there were i (Continued On Pagt ft) Tobacco Promotion Begins As Sales Supervisor Starts Farm To Farm Visit 25 GO TO CAMP About 25 children •! the Emanuel Holiness Church left lor a week at Youth Camp In I'ickins, S.

With all indications pointing to the opening of the 1962 to bjuco auction season about August 2. plans for promoting the Tabor City auction were taking shape this week. Warehousemen and AI Whitehead, this year's sales supervisor, have outfitted a Volkswagon with ice boxes and two big signs reading "Have j A Coke With Al Whitehead. Sales Supervisor, Tabor Citv : Tobacco Market. Price Leader Year After Year." With this vehicle all decked out. Whitehead will start this week visiting tobacco farms throughout the area where he , will distribute free kin^size Coca-Colas to all hands work ing in the fields and around the barns and packhouses. Each Coke will have a little collar on it that reads. "This Coke compliments of Tabor City To bacco Market." Operating in much the sanu manner as this year's straw berry selling deal. Whitehead hopes to see every tobacco far- j mer possible and to encourage them to bring their crops lo T.^bor City's auction market this season. The Tabor City market last year had one of its best sea sons in a decade with 9,396. 788 producer's pounds sold foi «« producer's average of $66.05. CIioss pounds sold here last year was 10.111.1268. Whitehead hopes to acquaint tobacco {•.rowers with this fine record ol a year ago and to encourage them to make this season even bigger and better in Tabor C'ity. In addition to this free Coke promotion, the townwide Silv er Dollar Days event is already being planned and again mer iliants will give away 1000 Silver Dollars during the to bbacco season. The details and dates of the event have not betn established but it will generally be of the same pat U-rr. as in the past. To bat. co growers will receivt Silver Dollar Day tickets at the warehouses and at the re tail establishments in town. Ayain there will be no obliga tion on the p:irt of those re ceiving tickets and anyone can win. Both the Silver Dollar Days i.nd free Coke promotions are being sponsored jointly by the Tabor City Merchants Associa tion and Tobacco Board ol Trade. Tobacco authorities in thw area have expressed the beliel that this will be among tin best seasons on record for loca glowers. The crop in the field; i.nd barns thus far appears U be of excellent quality an yield: There are indications, however, that tobaivo through rut the nation may not hit the price peak of a year ago. Foreign production of tobacco has gained rapidly hi recent years in both quality and yield and the lung cancer scaio has brought tobacco company stocks tumbling down in re cent weeks . Recent records show that filter tip cigarettes, prompted largely by the cancer findings, now account for 53.9 percent of all domestic cigarettes con sumed in the United States. King size cigarettes acount for 19.8 percent and regular cigar tttes 26.3 percent.
