C., Dec. 2.-Approxi- mately 1200 persons, most of them ne-j groes, were made homeless when about 200 residences, two churches,' two warehouses, and several small stores were destroyed, and loss esti- mated at $1,000,000, was caused by fire which late Friday swept 20 blocks in the western section of Newbern. The flame, starting in the negro sec- tion, gained great headway before, a high wind at the start because the lo- cal fire department was engaged on the opposite side of the town at the Roper Lumber company sawmill. where $300,000 damage was estimated to have been done.

PREDICTS PERIOD OF PROSPERITY POSSIBILITY OF LABOR SHORTAGE LOOMS NEAR "Boom Times" Will Probably Begin in February or March (By Associated Press) Detroit, Dec. 2.-Business condi- tions in Michigan at this time are such as to give added weight to his pre- diction, made a month ago, to the ei- feet that this state early next year will enter upon the greatest period of prosperity it ever has known, accord- ing to a statement issued to The Asso- ciated Press by John L. Lovett, of De- troit, secretary-treasurer of the Michi- gan Manufacturers' Association. Mr. Lovett generally is credited with being in closer touch with mahufac- turing and business conditions of the state as a whole than any other per- son in Michigan, as he makes frequent surveys of these conditions. Labor to be Scarce In his statement a month ago the secretary-manager predicted that within the next few months Michigan would be turning out manufactured articles at a rate never before realized, that labor would be scarce, due to the unprecedented prosperity, that ri- val firms would be bidding' against each other for employes, that wages would go higher, and that the state's PROSPECTS POINT' TO BUMPER YEAR FAR fl f ~ T HURI ~ I~ Wrtciage of the plane of Li Ut.
