The Fight ior Service Continues
The Beaufort News, one of the two predecessors of Carteret
County's oewspaper THE NEWS-TIMES, long fought for ade
quate electric service and adequate telephone service. The fight
was, of course, particularly close to The Beaufort News because
- Beaufort and east Carteret county have always been treated as
stepchildren by both Tide Water Power company and Carolina
Telephone and Telegraph company.
This fight, encouraged by thinking members of the public,
was not waged because of an isolated instance of power or phone
service failure occasioned by accident beyond human control, but
against the continual day-by-day, night-by-night temporary fail
ures which did Utile more, apparently, than stop the electric
clock or cause the phone to work only on the fourth try.
The Beaufort News, as does THE NEWS-TIMES under the
same editorial direction, realized that all the little failures would
some day add up to one big catastrophic failure. But a moribund
Beaufort town government failed to pay heed and now the pres
ent, efficient town government of Beaufort, which to a certain
extent is god father to all of east Carteret county, is holding a
pair of britches that could have been saved by that stitch in time.
Last winter's extraordinary sleet storm found every weak
spot in the physical facilities of both Tide Water Power company
and Carolina Telephone and Telegraph company. And both com
panies took some steps to correct the inadequacies.
Over this past weekend another set of freak accidents over
took both companies.
Public wrath is not the solution to the situation now. Wrath
should have been laid across the backs of the public utility com
panies some years ago.
A committee of calm citizens comprising residents of Beau
, fort and all other communities of east Carteret county could fitly
meet with executives of Tide Water Power company and Carolina
Telephone and Telegraph company, go over the situation step by
' step and jointly decide what should be done now, what should be
done next and what should be done in the following periods within
' the financial ability of both companies.
No other power company is going to take over Tide Water
Power company's problems nor is any other telephone company
going to take over Carolina Telephone and Telegraph company's
problems.
And let us hope that there is no return to the political mess
of municipal ownership.

fuod-raising project into their year's program.

the campaign.
The drive, which bega in February, has not yet ended. Con
tributions can be made now through the Morehead City or Beau
fort Women's clubs. Checks ofr money orders should be made
out to "AOA-United Nations Appeal for Children." Through
Mrs. O. H. Johnson or Mrs. Robert Taylor, Morehead City, and
Mrs. Graham Duncan, Beaufort, the money will be forwarded to
Raleigh.
. No concerted drive Is being made in the county. The Wom

personal contributions.
; Two hundred thirty million children are (today the victims
of war, starving as a result of the scorched earth policies which
Mowed the enemy but made useless for many years vast agricul

care of the remainder.
Participating In the campaign are 26 relief agencies in this '

Thoughts for an open mind. . .
The intellect Is an instrument by wliich man may grasp a problem
and ift it to the plane of it's solution.
The price paid for concentrated, efficient use of one's energies
is t sacrifice of smaller desires ior the accomplishment of larger
ones. -
Gatheripg together the forms, of the energy that might be used for
, trivial activities- and turning them into concentrating, unified ef
forts along a single line of achievement in one's selected field is
the only means of exerting one's powers for the work tbi rings
results.
In the long run, the little sacrifices turn out to be no sacrifices at
all, since the values achieved are far greater than those lost.
Unswerving, untiring, consistent effort along a single definite
line, is the price always paid for genuine success. One who
achieves greatly never regrets the earlier as more excellent re
sults of his persistent drive toward the large goal. Each has
to build for himself a philosophy of life by which he determines
what it is that is most worth while.

Mr. OdellT success with hogs,
according to Mr. Kelley, is due to
several factors. He has a natural
ability to handle hogs. Nature
provides him with plenty of clear
water, and the sows hsve access
to a dense wooded area which pro
vides good shelter' for farrowing,
making it unnecessary for Mr.
Odell to invest money In expensive
houses.'

blame it on the weather.
""While on the subject "o! wea

service. We welcome back the
weather vane at the top of the
signal pole. ' We never could wet a
finger and hold it out in the wind
to tell from which direction it
was coming. A new feature on this

Story Of The Week
It has been nearly' twenty-five
years since youpon tea has been
made and sold in this city. We
doubt if one could find today a
nound of this ancient beverage on
the shelves of any store in East
ern Carolina.
At one time the late William
Sadler had a small plant for the
curing of this tea, located a short
distance beyond the old Atlantic
Hotel. He was sort of an authority
on the cutting and curing of the
leaves and twigs of the youpon.
There is a period during the
winter season when the leaves and
twigs of this shrub are at their
best, for curing and from which to
secure the best aroma. It was not
unusual to see Mr. Sadler coming
into town during the winter months
with a large bag of leaves and
twigs of the youpon slung over
his back. His raw material cost
him nothing but the labor of cut
ting and toting.
His plant consisted of a large
drying drum , turned by a motor
over a low oil flame. When the
tea had been properly dried it
was run through a chopper, then
bagged in one pound packages, and
if we recall correctly, sold for 10
cents per pound.
Mr. Sadler was rather an eccen
tric character. He was always of
the opinion that some one was
putting a "trick" on him, causing
his machines to break down, the
tea not to cure right as well as
most any other hinders nee that
might develop in the making of bis
product. Believing that a change
of location would change his luck
he moved his plant to Harkers Is
land where he operated for a short
time without better success than
on the main land. '
The demand for youpon tea
waned, his machinery wore out and
the old man became a wandering
object of pity. Later he was admit
ted to the County Home where he
remained a short time. Following
an altercation with another mem
ber of the home, who gave him a
black eye, he left and took up his
abode in pn old boat he owned
Car Danger Spot
Is Beside Driver
NEW YORK The death seat in
an auto is the front seat beside
the driver, says Dr. Claire L.
Straith, Detroit pla'stic surgeon, in
the Journal of the American Medi
cal Association. His name for this
seat comes lrom a stream of wom
en and girls going to Harper hos
pital, Detroit, to have their faces
repaired by plastic surgery. About
70 per cent of them hud been oc
cupants of the death seat at the
time of an auto crash. In those
crashes one-third as many drivers
were hurt.
In one month's auto injurus in
Detroit, ..II kinds, he viy-. 3"2
passengers were hurt. OI these
nearly 70 per cent were in the
front seat beside the driver. Wilh
better roads and higher speeds,
the death seat injuries and deaths
are becoming more numerous. But
Dr. Straith says speed is not the
only cause of injuries and deaths
in the front seat. Other causes are
khoBs, cranks, sharp ledges and
dropdown ash receivers. Even at
a speed of 20 miles an hour, a
woman had her face badly mauled
by gadgets when she 'fell forward.
A flat, wide cushion patterned
to cover the dash so that a lace
will bump only a smooth, soft sur
face, he says, would reduce facial
injuries immensely.
Windshields inflict many cuts,
he says, and occasionally nearly
decapitate the victim. He advo
cate hinging windshields so that
they would be forced outward by a
blow just short of the glass-breaking
force.
Iladison County Farmer
Owns 33 Sows and Gilts .
COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh
One of the largest herds of brood
sows in the State is to be found
on the farm of W. R. Odell of
Hot Springs, Madison county, who
has 33 sows and gilts at the present
time, according to Jack Kelley, Ex
tension animal husbandry special
ist at State College.
Mr. Odell has had unusual suc
cess with his hogs. He keeps a
complete record of all feed used
and of the number of pigs mark
eted per sow. His report shows
that he marketed 7.6 pit's per sow
during the spring of 1947, and in
the fall of the same year he mark
eted an average of 7.8 pigs per sow.
This gives him a record of about
1.5 pigs per litter above the State
average.
The Madison producer uses a
pasture of orchard grass, lespideza,
end blue grass. He feeds a Wx
ture of six parts corn meal and
one part commercial protein sup-
which was tied up in the inlet near
the location of his former plant.
It was from this location that
the writer rescued him after a
storm and high tide had flooded
his boat. A room was found for him
where he lived alone a few. years
until the last "trick" was placed
on him, passing without relatives
or friends to grieve his going.
