CAJRTESET COUNTY KZHS-TZZZS, ZZMTC2X AN3 UZZZZAD CITY, N..CL CUTOH ' (Continued From Page One) """It seemed strange that you were- n t there. None of us had much to say. Mister Tom was there. And Dan Garrish and Mister O'Neal and Mistar Willis and the others who came to sit and pass the time of iday with you in the shank of the evening. And sitting there I couldn't help recalling that afternoon back in February when I arrived on Ocra coke for the first time. I remem bered how you ' had introduced yourself and said. "Son. we're mighty glad to have you here." I knew you meant it. and it made me feel all good inside. Like so many other things you said later 1rom time to time. And I remembered, too. your greeting the afternoon before you gwent away, n few minutes after I had come oft the boat from a ten day trip to the mainland. You smiled und shook my h.-ind and patted me on the shoulder and said. "We missed you, son." We'll miss you, too, Captain Matt. We'll miss your smile, we'll miss your hearty chuckle, we'll miss those things you said that made us feel all good inside. When we heard that you had s.it down to read your paper and had gone to slei'p and didn't wake up, my wife said. "He w;is such a wonderful r.ian, such a wonderful man." I heard her speak thai way about another man once. He was ni father, just nhntii your age 74. Yes, Captain Matt, we'll miss V U. You had a w;.y of gelling close to people. I think you took a liillc bit of everybody you met, took a (little hit of everybody's liewt. You had a w.iv nf Joiog that. And in going away you took a lit;V bit of id1 of us. No, il wasn't the same c! wn al the store today And it won't be lue same torm.rnw. Or ever. I think we all realized t hat s 1 we turned and went over to your hon'se for the services. As 1 said, it was a oeaulUul al ternoon for the services. And the services .vere be. till if ul, too. Simple, just like van would have ' wanted them. A few songs and a It w words. I Doctor Tilley was in charge. And JMiss Lizzy was there to sing, along 'with the other choir members from (the church. Dr. Tilley said you fwcre "one of the best men ever to 'live on Ocracoke Island." He told Ihow you joined the church when you were nine and about how you had from that day on until you vent to sleep had been a loyal member. All of us were a little distressed that your two daughters linm Florida. Mrs. Sorthie Austin and Mrs. Enlis Staton had been un able to iget there In time for the service But y eni daughter, -thai, i I Ibtte, was there. She came down I from Philadelphia and chartered a boat at Atlantic when she misd eed the mailboat. Dr. Tillev announced at the end tmni the services that the rites at the cemetery would not be held until that night. He said they would wait until your other two daugh ters got here. He said they were expected about 10 o'clock. So we all went home for a bite of supper. Then along about ten o'clock we began gathering again out in front of your, house. We stood out there in the road and down on the dock that runs from your house out into Silver Lake. Captain Tom Bragg was there and he talked about the times you had had together, your early days in the Coast Guard. The beacon from the lighthouse stood out in the night. Out at the edge of the ditch a light buoy bob bed in the sound. The minutes dragged by and we bent our ears toward Portsmouth for the sound of the boat that was bringng your daughters. We began hearing it a good fifty minutes before it finally pulled into the ditch. It was almost twelve o'clock then. Then an honor guard from the Coast Guard station marched into your living room and picked up your earthly remains and carried them out to n Coast Guard truck. The truck moved off slowly toward the cemetery with your friends folowing along behind, plodding through the sand. There was a brief service at the cemetery and then the coffin that held your remains was lowered to its resting place. They put you to rest in a spot that looks out to the sound. And from where you lie you can see the Coast Guard station. That's about all, Captain Matt. So, so long, John Coroner Recovers . Coroner Pritchard Lewis, Beau fort, was able to report verbally today that he has fully recovered from a vocal cord operation per formed two weeks ago which left him speechless. He was getting writer's cramp from writing notes and even Mrs. Lewis was lament ing that it was awful not to have anyone to argue with! EAST LANSING, Mich (AP) Michigan State College's powerful act of three swimming brothers has been reduced. Competition ended this spring for Paul Set bold, leaving brothers Dave and Jack to carry on. All three com pete in the breastroke. Between 1800 and 1940, Amer ican college enrollments increased almost 10 fold. r t BY VIVIAN BROWN J At a recent luncheon of The Fashion Group in N. Y., five re presentative teen agers were invi ted to speak about themselves and their age group. The girls had something worth while to say, so perhaps other kids would like to pick up the pitch. Here arc ex cerpts of the dope straight from the kids' hen coop: Speaking on "How We Look" Mary Burdcll of N. Y. says: ". . . . Blue Jeans are used now only while painting furniture or climbing mountains. We are try ing to forget the days of constant slanguage and brother's clothes. On dates we want pretty clothes . . . bouffant formals, bare shoul ders and arms. . . . "For sports we dress as sjmply as possible. White tennis dresses, plain shorts, tailored bathing suits. "Our hair is usually worn shoulder length, softly curled, not cluttered with unnecessary pins . . sometimes we nut it up for very special dates. Our makeup is simple lipstick and powder. "I should say that all this isn't what the teen-aged Girl likes to wear, but what the teen-aged boy wants the teen-aged girl to wear!" Jane MacLaughlin, of Kensing ton, Conn., explaining "How You Look To Us" (meaning adults), sounded off, saying: "Responsibility and experience arc the highest barriers between those of my age group and t hose of yours. Perhaps most of us do not have tragedy slap us in the face, but each teenager, to sonic J degree, knows something of an adult's thoughts and fears. . . . "Every student in my school is disgruntled with adults because they are not willing to spend money where it is needed. Our new high school still is only a blueprint . . . teen agers are angry with the adult community wliic'i argues against an increased edu cational budget." And "How Do We Behave'''' Let Florence Stonernan tell you. ". . . We arc noisy. Parties are popular. We dance, talk, eat sand wiches, cookies and potato chins and we drink cokes and ginger ale. Oh, yes, and we sing ballads like "Frankie and Johnny" and "Tavern In The Town." We are all interested in musii. A surprising number of us prefer classics to jazz. "I must admit that we .very of ten do things that seem frivolous. Doesn't every generation? But we ae. certainly not all juvenile de linquents. We have our own code of ethics that controls our man ners and morals. Heavy drinking and heavy petting are pretty mucn out." "The World We're Getting And What We Want" doesn't suit Diane Rosen, who says: "Tomorrow perhaps the entire world, diseased and polluted, will be thrown into - our laps, like a sick baby . . . and young people all over the world are aware of their responsibility towards it. ". . . . We want to understand each other and help each other. When people get old enough to become senators they pretty often lose their perspective. "I do not believe . . . however . . . that the entire teen-age popu lation should rise up and dictate to the Congress and parliament and ministries of the world." Barbara Kauder of Somerville, N. J., speaking on "The Commu nity We Live In," believes that teen-agers have much more sense than they get credit for. They arc striving for a better way of life by trying to do something about the towns they live in and help ing themselves and the towns to find the road to better living. Eight College Cats Live Without Meat NEW HAVEN, Conn. - (AP) Eight college-bred cats have never tasted meat mouse or otherwise and don't seem to miss it. The cats are full-grown and the first ever to be fed an entirely artificial diet since they were weaned. They live in cages at the Yale Nutrition Laboratory near hundreds of white mice and rats, but show only a neighborly inter est. Their food consisted of .1 fat ty, pasty ration composed of table sugar, casein from milk, mineral salts, lard, corn oil, and all the known vitamins. Although they never had meat or whole milk, their growth appears to be normal. One 10-month old tomcat weighs JOIItl II. INS03AKCE & Office Located In Potior Building 'Downtown Beaufort JOHN M.

He held the inactive rank qf Colonel in the United States Army reserve and in 101!() was appointed a member of the War Department Business council and was advanc ed from lieutenant colonel to col onel. In 19-10 lie was named chairman of the Medical and Instrument committee for the medical depart ment of the United States Army and Navy, lie was reappointed to this position in 1944 by Major General Kirk who was then surg eon general of the army. Undersecretary of War Patter son appointed the Colonel in 1943 to attend the conference of indus trial leaders representing the surgical instrument industry of the United States. For 19 years he was a director of the American Surgical Trades association and served as presi dent of the Manufacturers' Surgic al Trade association from 1919 to 1944. r p ., . ; Colonel Diekhison, as long as lis health permitted, returned .to, Beaufort for a visit several times a year. 10 pounds, and has a thick coat of fur. The cats are being studied by Dr. Wilard A. Krelil, assistant pro fessor of nutrition, and Isaac D. Welt, research assistant, of the department of physiological che mistry at Yale School of Medicine. The next question is whether the cats raised in the laboratory on artificial food can propagate them selves. One purpose of the nutri tion studies was to learn exactly what the cat needs in food to grow and be healthy. Thousands of cat owners will be interested. Fur ther, the cat may help answer some puzzles about nutrition in man and other animals.

BEAUFORT Russians Build Berlin Memorial BERLIN (AP) Red marble and stone from the chancellery Hitler built are being used to con struct a big memorial to Soviet soldiers who fell in the Battle for Berlin. The U.S.S.R. is the only one of the victorious Allied pow ers to erect such a monument here. Construction work on the memori al in the Treptower park of Berlin is already well underway. It is expected to cost ten million marks before its completion by the end of this year. The monument will bear the in scription 'Eternal glory to the fighters of the Soviet army who .gave their lives to free humanity from Fascist slavery." Sixteen reliefs, according to the Soviet li censed German press, wil depict the life of Soviet men and women at peace, the sudden attack of Germany on the Soviet union, the battles of Stalingrad, Odessa and Sevastopol, the siege of Lening rad, and the climax of the Rus sian offensive with the hoisting of the Red flag by Soviet soldiers on the ruins of the German Reich stag building. Centerpiece of the memorial will be a 36 foot high statue of a Soviet soldier tramp ling on the Nazi Swastika. BLAZE (Continued From Page One) homes and some from Beaufort. Many had been awakened by the engines and some rushed to the scene in bed clothes. The night watchman at the pbnt said that he believed that the fire originated from one of the driers, igniting some surrounding dry scrap. Dry fish scrap has been known to get so hot at times that it is possible for spontaneous com bustion to result. So far, this has been the only explanation ex pounded for yesterday's blaze. The fish factory was engaged in processing menhaden and this summer would have been its first full season in operation. Beaufort's assistant fire chief, Julius Duncan, said he would start a campaign in the near fu ture for a water system in that area so that water could be made more easily accessible and future disasters, similar to yesterday's, could be prevented.
