at the Langston Junior High School auditorium. The 143 have been participants in the voluntary noncredit summer band program which has been under way for eight weeks and is reaching its climax in this week's "Junior High Band Clinic." One group, comprised of beginners, has been meeting daily from 8:30 to 10 a.m. throughout the summer to gain instrumental proficiency in advance of regular band instruction at their schools during the coming term. The other group-more advanced students -has been meeting from 10:30 to 12:30 p.m. every other day throughout the eight-week period.

The students come from all three of the city's junior high -Bonner, Langston and Lee-with Langston chosen as the site for the summer work because of its central location. Band instructors at the three schools--Bob Hickson, Jim Merton and Larry Popp. -have been working closely with the young instrumentalists throughout the summer, with each of the three able to devote considerable time to work with students in his own musical specialty: percussion, woodwinds and brass instruments. Danville's summer band program was started two years ago as an experiment, they reported, and its popularity with students has led to its continuation. is no grade attached," Popp explained.

"The only incentive is to learn." The summer program provides an opportunity for students to advance, and to delve into areas that can't be covered during the regular school term, he related. Employment Gains Cited By Stinson Employment increases in Danville's industries will total an estimated 800 additional people in 1974, and roughly 1,300 in 1975, according to Julian R. Stinson, president of the Danville Chamber of Commerce. Speaking to members of the Danville Host Lions Club at the Charcoal House today, Stinson also pointed out that the collective gas and electric consumption of Danville's industries will increase approximately 15 percent over the next three-year period. Stinson credited the growth estimates to the overall healthy economy of the city.

"No city could grow, build, and plan the way Danville is doing," Stinson said, "unless there were a healthy business atmosphere in which to perform." The Chamber of Commerce president added he could not gather accurate employment figures at some Danville industries because their growth is too rapid. The information used by Stinson came from a survey just completed by the Chamber's Service to Existing Industry Committee, headed by Stephen Section B-12 Pages February Area Deaths And Funerals Felix Cobb Sr. Taken By Death YANCEYVILLE, N.C.

Drug Conviction Appeal Follows Sentence, Fine Notice of an appeal was given in Danville Circuit Court yesterday by Thomas J. Gauldin after a jury found him guilty of an accommodation sale of marijuana to undercover agent Thomas Wayne Worsham on May 14, 1972. The jury fixed his penalty at a year in jail and a $2,500 fine. Jurors reached their verdict late yesterday after about 40 minutes of deliberation. According to Worsham, on whom the prosecution's case Virginia Economy Slackens WILLIAMSBURG (AP)-Although Virginia's economy continued in a healthy vein during June, it was not as strong as had been expected, according to the business report of the College of William and Mary.

Dr. Leland E. Traywick, editor of the monthly report, said some indicators used in determining the health of the state's industry be pointing toward a "slowing of the commonwealth's business conditions." The report said this reflects a national trend of somewhat slower economic growth during the second quarter of the year. But Traywick said Virginia's construction industry showed a 57 per cent increase in activity over June of last year with the cities leading the increase listed as Williamsburg, Cape Charies-Exmore, Harrisonburg, Fredericksburg, Lynchburg, Newport News-Hampton and Staunton. The figures showed new car registrations to be substantially higher than last year with a 13.1 per cent increase, with more purchases of smaller cars that use less gasoline to Retail sales also increased in June, the report said, with the month's figures 10.2 per cent above those of the previous June.

Leaf Growers Facing Twine Shortage ROANOKE, Va. (AP) Tobacco farmers in Southside Virginia and the Carolinas are facing what could be a serious shortage in binding twine for the tobacco curing process. A major distributor of twine for the southern United States, Greensboro Twine Par of Greensboro, N.C., has stopped accepting new orders for the fine twine which is used in "loopers." Loopers replace, and speed up, the hand-tied process and require a twine made of superior cotton or nylon. The tobacco is tied so it can be placed on racks for curing before it is marketed. Alton Kirk, a Franklin County crop insurance representative who works closely with tobacco farmers, said the looping process three times as fast as the hand method.

Kirk said he is optimistic that something can be worked out. "But the thing of it is that we are right in the middle of put- relied, Gauldin not only approached him about a purchase, Saturday, May 13 and delivered the $5 gram of marijuana the following day, but also said he expected to have a pound of marijuana available by the following Tuesday and asked Worsham's help in selling it. Five witnesses for the defense placed Gauldin in Richmond on, before after the May 13-14 weekend, and it was the defense contention that Worsham had a vendetta against Gauldin because the latter had denid him and his wife the use of a washing machine in the defendant's apartment, next door to Worsham's on Jefferson Ave. Worsham's wife was summoned to the courtroom, and testified to having used the defendant's washing machine only once, and Commonwealth Attorney William H. Fuller III in his closng argument told the jury the undercover agent could have been expected to make more than one charge against Gauldin if he had been motivated by a grudge.

Fuller said Worsham was surprised when approached by Gauldin about buying marijuana because, up to that time, he had felt the defendant was simply a user, not a seller, of the drug. Fuller also maintained that the array of defense witnesses had recalled dates and times on the basis of information supplied by the defendant, rather than of their own knowledge. Rummage, Bake Sale Saturday For Fire Truck The Women's Auxiliary of the Mt. Cross Volunteer Fire Department will hold a rummage and bake sale Saturday, beginning at 9 a.m. at the fire department.

All proceeds will go toward the $24,000 price of a newly purchased fire truck. Local merchants have donated a number of items, and also on sale will be antiques, household items, clothing and "a little bit of everything." ting the tobacco up in a big way." Clyde Yancey, a vice president of Greensboro Twine, says the shortage can be attributed to a lack of high grade cotton. He said the cotton comes from Arizona and his company has received all it can get until the new crop comes in November. He said much of the Arizona cotton was shipped to Japan. Yancey said his company stopped taking new orders more than month ago.

Greensboro Twine is filling only those orders that were placed some time ago. "In a normal week we ship 59,000 to 62,000 pounds of twine. Last week we shipped 19,000 Yancey said. Herman Law, proprietor of the store in Franklin County's tobacco county, sells twine throughout the country and he started rationing it last Saturdayive probably got three cases left, and the hasn't started good. That's just what it amounted to," Law said.

Law said he is attempting let each farmer have enough to get his crop started with hopes that more will be coming in as the season progresses. Law does not know where future supplies will come from. There are ways a farmer can bring his crop to market without the twine but, for the most part Law said, tobacco planning isn't geared toward it today. The hand-tied method is still used by many small and marginal farmers, but the twine supply for that is dwindling too. Kirk said that many of the larger farmers have put in which are geared toward crops their being harvested and cured by the looping method.

"It could cause a farmer not to get all his crop to market," Kirk said. "If they can't get twine for that looper, they're hurting." Kirk said that many Franklin County tobacco farmers still put up tobacco with wire. The wire is inserted through the tobacco and racked. Jack Neal, who heads one of Danville's larger Old Belt warehouses, acknowledges the shortage but feels it will not affect the market. "I don't think that it will have any effect on price.

I think this way: There is always a way. I think it is something that is going to have to be worked out with time. I don't regard the situation as too serious." Some of the tobacco men blame the shortage, at least partially, on tobacco farmers in North Carolina. "I think North Carolina farmers learned of this situation before Virginia farmers and came to Pittsylvania County and bought out some of the people who carried this twine. When they got ready to restock, they learned they couldn't restock," Kirk said.

The twine shortage is ironic for tobacco farmers. There were early predictions that tobacco farmers would be facing a shortage a fuel oil shortage for the flue cured and bulk tobacco barns. But oil supplies are because the tobacco crop comes in -and is cured -before the big winter demand on fuel oil. And Yancey, the Greensboro Twine vice president, indicated that tobacco farmers might not be the only ones facing a twine shortage. Bad weather in Mexico, where materials are grown for baler twine, has put the squeeze on the supply of twine.

Moderate to heavy summer rains have increased the changes of a good "second cutting" of hay and "if there is a big hay crop, those people will be in trouble," Yancey said..
