Considerably greater quanti-
ties of cocoa than were avail-
able last year will enrich U. S.
tables in 1946, if weather con-
ditions continue favorable in
Costa Rica, Panama and the
Dominican Republic, the Mid-
dle America Information Bu-
reau (MAIB) announces today.
Reports to the U. S. Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Com-
merce, MAIB says, indicate
that Costa Rica's May-June
and October-December har-
vests will far exceed 1945's 2,-
881,535 pounds, and perhaps
top even 1944's record 9,221,456
pounds.

One major factor favoring
the 1946 crop is the resent
doubling in yield of the cacao
tree (source of cocoa) through
intensive plant research. Trees
which formerly produced two
or three pounds of pods are
now yielding six to seven,
thanks to experimental work
carried forward by U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture and
the United Fruit Company in
Middle America.

Extensive experimentation in
cocoa is only one phase of the
United Fruit Company's com-
prehensive new crops program.
This program aims at freeing
Costa Rica and other Middle
American nations — including
Guatamala, El Salvadore, Hon-
duras, Nicaragua, Panama and
the Dominican Republic—from
their pre-war economic depend-
ence on sugar, bananas and cof-
fee.

which is the story of a girl
called Ruth Virey, and her
struggle against the desert. The
desert country of Southern
California and the beautiful
country of Arizona make an
extremely interesting back-
ground for this book. If you

will want to read "Stairs of
Sand."

This book was donated by
Mr. Ted Addington of Slater.
We appreciate Mr. Addington's
thoughtfulness in giving this
book to the library.
_________
We welcome Mr. Henry
Smith as a new library mem-
ber. Mr. Smith is employed in

the community to take advan-
tage of this good supply of
books, hoping that they will
while away many summer
hours with pleasant reading.

supply of fiction has just been
secured from the Greenville
Public Library especially for
you. Please come to the Slater
Library at your earliest con-
venience and select some books

Speaking of Human Nature,
read this story which comes
from the "Journal of Educa-
tion":

A man was looking for a
good church to attend and hap-
pened into a small one which
the congregation were reading
with the minister. They were
saying: "We have left undone
those things we ought to have
done, and have done those
things we ought not to have
done."

Recent Bride Is
Party Honoree

Mrs. Connis Snipes Martin
was the honoree at a miscellan-
eous shower given at the home
of her sister, Mrs. Alvin Rice,
Thursday night, June 6.

To add to the fun, the show-
er was a surprise to Mrs. Mar-
tin, who thought it was being
given in honor of a relative.
Mrs. Martin, unaware that the
shower was for her, had been
very careful during the day not
to let the relative "catch on"
to all the preparations which
were being made. Imagine her
surprise when she discovered
that she was the honoree and
the recipient of many beautiful
and usefull gifts.

Delicious refreshments con-
sisting of salad, sandwiches,
cakes and iced drinks were
served by the joint hostesses,
Miss Sarah Canham and Mes-
dames Alvin Rice, Lloyd Bry-
ant, and Lee Lell.

Those attending the shower
were: Mesdames A. L. Thorn-
ton, Ruth Rice, Roy Daniel, M.
B. Jones, Ruby Voyles, Herman
Martin, Lloyd Bryant, Myrtle
Lane, Lee Lell, Alvin Rice, and
W. Earle Reid. Also: Misses
Jorene Vickers, Sarah Canham,
and Elizabeth Ammons.

Mrs. Martin is the former
Miss Connis Snipes of Slater
and was married to Sgt. Her-
man Martin of the U. S. Army
on Easter Sunday. The young
couple has recently returned
from Florida, and will reside
in North Carolina, where Sgt.
Martin will be stationed at
Camp Le Jeune.

largest groups comprise V-1

These men are already cred-
ited with helping the Army de-
velop rockets described by Ord-

than those with which the
Nazis bombarded London and
bombs have been constructed
from parts of 35 such missles
brought to the United States
at the end of the war.

Slater Spends
(Con't. from page 1, col. 3)

July 4 was the office force of
the Slater Community Associa-
tion, who were busily preparing
for a quarterly audit of the As-
sociation's books.

The Fourth of July presented
no accidents in so far as Slater-
ites were concerned, and from
all observation everyone had a
pleasant vacation but was glad
to go back to work on July 8
when the mill resumed opera-
tion.
