The doors of Danville's new K-mart on Riverside Dr. swung open to hundreds of shoppers a 10 o'clock this morning after a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The crowd eager for a a at limited-quantity opening bargains began to arrive considerably ahead of time, and this caused an expected problem for some of the early birds: they got their bargains only to discover that they couldn't find their cars. The trouble was that early arrivers had found plenty of open space in the giant parking area and so had paid little attention to the particular spot where they parked. But when they emerged from the big new discount store with their arms piled high with purchases, they found a parking lot that was a solid sea of cars, and some had to walk tip and down the isles as much as 20 minutes to locate their nicies. By 10: IS a.m. the huge plaza appeared to be filled with cars, and more vehicles turning in from Riverside Dr.

were circling around and about the area in search of parking spaces. Cutting the ribbon to make the opening official was Chris Fletcher (bottom photo), three- year-old grandson of K-mart Manager Ben Rollins. On hand or the occasion were Danville's mayor and various city officials, and the S. S. Kresge Co.

was represented at the event by a number of officials, including C. L. Yohe, vice- president in charge of K-mart operations; G. F. McVinnie, southern regional manager; Al Hunt, district manager; and Mrs.

Margaret Schwyhart, K- mart director of personnel. ve- Stabilization Corporation Gains In Membership And Inventories Amended Bill Hikes Highway Fund For City ake Junaluska Methodist Meet Set This Summer Weston H.

Flue-Cured Tobacco Coopera- 1 live Stabilization Corporation, he nation's largest tobacco co- perative marketing associa- ion, registered increases in oth membership and inven- xiry during 1963, it was disclosed in the annual report released today. Membership gains amounted 14,632 growers in 1963, pushing total membership to more ban 631,000 flue-cured growers hroughout the flue-cured belts of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Viriinia. Stabilization began 1963 with tobacco in inventory from eight crops--1955 through 1962--which ntaled 573.7 million pounds. The 1963 beginning inventory was over greater than the 1962 level as a result of heavy receipts from the 1962 crop and light sales from old crop tobacco. The surplus of tobacco is the asic problem and has a direct effect upon Stabilization's re- eipts and sales in any given ear.

Stabilization's inventory is made of tobacco from practically all grades and is suitable or use by any manufacturer, ither domestic or foreign. Stab- lization has tobacco available manufacturers, both in strip stem removed) and bundle orm, at prices in line with cur- -ent marketing conditions. The total supply of to- acco, as currentiy exists in the industry, places Stabilization in a buyer's market which is not conducive to desired sales activity. During the course of the year (1963), Stabilization sold all remaining inventory from the 1951 and 1956 crops which amounted 100 million pounds. Sales from other crops reached 43 million pounds, resulting in total sales for the year of 143 million pounds, leaving 430 million pounds of old crop tobacco Stabilization's receipts from the 1963 crop were heavy amounting to 20 per cent of ne sales, or 277 million pounds-third largest take of record Old crop inventory, plus 196; Crop receipts, increased tota inventory to 707 million pounds Within the past two years, Stab ilization's inventory increaset 88:5 percent--from a reason ably normal level of 375 mil lion pounds in December, 1961 to 707 million pounds in Decem faer, 1963, an all-time high.

There are many contributing factors to this situation, of which have been discusset repeatedly. Significant, howev er, are the trends of production and trade purchases in recen years. The trade has averaged purchasing 1,133 million pound from the previous five crops 1959-1963, while production ha averaged 1,271 million pound for the same period. The ex cess of production over trade purchases moving into Stabili zation's inventory has averag ed 138 million pounds for thi five-year period. Trade purchases in 1963 wen only about 57 million pound greater than purchases in 1959 while 1963 production was 27 million pounds greater than 195 production, even though acreage harvested was relatively th same.

Most significant is the in in average yield from 1,559 pounds in 1959 to 1,95 pounds in 1963--almost a 400 pound per acre increase. 21.

Interest paid and accrued to Commodity Credit Corporation for borrowed funds has reached $107 million.

Tobacco received from any crop is pledged as collateral for loans from Stabilization is not a Governmental agency but a cooperative marketing association of tobacco growers, operated under the Cooeprative Marketing Laws of North Carolina and domesticated under similar laws in the other flue-cured states.

IIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIilllllllllllllllllllllllllHIIIUIUUlUlU OWN OPICS (South Boston Prepares For Annexation SOUTH BOSTON-Citr Council has authorized $7,509 for tbt preparation oi new maps and land surveys as one of the first steps to get ready for annexation. Council hired J. Walter Jones, local surveyor, to do the map work, and entered into an agreement with the Virginia Department of Highways for the topographic surveys. City Manager Aubrey Houghton explained to the group that at this week's meeting the maps and surveys were essential. The topographic maps will be used in planning the location of new water and sewer lines, he said.

In other action, Council tabled action of a request for a zoning variance on property at the intersection of Jefferson Ave. and Logan St. The action was deferred on advice of the city's Planning Commission. The property owner, William H. Rogers, had requested change from multi-family residential to general commercial.

The city fathers noted that the request was tabled instead of denied so that the matter could be reviewed at any time. Council said it was proceeding in this manner because the approved rezoning of other property in the same block has not become effective. In further action, CouncH approved a request for installation of 97.33 feet of three and one-half foot sidewalk in front of business places en Seymour Drive; employed the Richmond firm of ELrins, Holt and Bruner to make the annual audit of the city books; appropriated $2,280 for the purchase of 50 new automatic parking meters similar to the ones already in use. Also an appropriation of $75,325.75 was made for the operation of city business during the month of March, with $38,800 of this earmarked for educational purpose. After completion of the regular agenda, Lester L.

Dfllard, who said he spoke as a private citizen and not as the city attorney, requested Council to study the possibility of allowing limited left-turn traffic from Main Street east into Charles Street. To this request Council directed Houghton to look into it and make a report at an early meeting. In another request Countil- man James Irby asked for a study of the parking and traffic situation at the post office. He said he felt the congested situation could be helped some by moving the "drive-in" letter drop boxes to the corner of Main and Yancey Ave. rather than having them in the middle of the block as they now are.
