CARTERET COUNTY 10c SECOND SECTION PAGES 1 TO 4 A Merger of THE BEAUF03T NEWS (Established 1912) and THE TWIN CITY TIMES (Established 1936) 38th YEAR NO. 32. TEN PAGES MOREHEAD CITY, AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1948 TEN PAGES PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS Havelock - Cheny Point Mr. Bath T. Blchardaoa, Editor Service League Women Attend Annual Meeting in Chapel The annual meeting of the Wom an's Church Service League of the Havelock Community Chapel was held at 8 p.m. the evening of Aug. 26 immediately following the mid week prayer service. The meeting, opened with a hymn and prayer, was led by Mrs. Earl Douthit. The roll was called and leaders of the circles stood with their members, giving a brief summary of the year's work. The minutes were read by Mrs. Tom Ligon. The treasurer's report was given by Mrs. Herbert Gray. New business was discussed and fifty dollars was given to the Cher ry Point Public library, committee was given as follows: For president, Mrs. Dewey Phipps; vice-president, Mrs. Claude Parker; secretary, Mrs. James C. Teelc; treasurer, Mrs. Charles Lutz. As there were no nominations from the floor; the secretary was in structed to cast a unanimous bal lot. Mrs. Irvin, retiring president, ex pressed her thanks for the help, support and co-operation of the circles during the past year. On behalf of the group, Mrs. C. C. Anderson presented to Mrs. Lutz two very lovely gifts: a historical plate with the seal of the Con federacy upon it to add to Mrs. Lutz's interesting collection and a strand of pearls. The program for the evening was given by the Re becca Kendrick circle. Mrs. C. C. THE SIDEWALK SKIPPER Part 2 Eugene Springle, next door to Captain Glover's, has been in bu siness for just two months and is looking, he admits ruefully, "for a brighter future." He is charging 35 cents for shrimp, 20 for spots, and running one boat at the pre sent time. Freezing shrimp for storing and shipping out is the main activity of the Beaufort Quickfreeze plant these days. Buying from local fish ermen, their output varies from 20,000 to 40,000 pounds a week and goes to markets in Chicago and Atlanta. They hope to freeze shrimp for their own account, to be sold under the name of Hat teras Brand and have plans for using mackerel, for filleting, spots, and croakers, (the latter to be frozen whole) at a later date. "This is the first year in three that there's been much shrimp," opines Manager Harry Gillikin, "and we've already handled more shrimp than last year." Three to four hundred pounds of shrimp to a drag have been reported this year, as opposed to an average of 30 last year, with some boats bring ing In 3000 pounds a day. South port shrimpers lay claim to 50 bu shels (5,000 pounds) to the boat, most of their output going to the Georgia and Louisiana canneries, which are paying 23 dollars per box. J Bettie - raised Harry Gillikin hopes some day to see shrimp ban ned here in the same manner frozen as it comes in, then canned as suits the convenience of the plants, thus opening up a really big-time, reliable market so far untapped by local operators. Genial Grace Wetherington at the Noe market reports that they are getting a few fish, but most ly shrimp, and are running but one boat "The Lively Lady," outside the bar. Flounder, mul let, and speckled trout have been the main items In their show case this month. Little work has been done on , small boats lately, according to the news from operators of the Noe yard as they are, understandably, "aU out shrimping." Hubbard Dix en, of Sea Level, has had a new shaft and wheel installed in his numbered but nameless boat, how ever, and the Jones brothers purse f boats have been on the ways for I repairs. The "Jane Dale" of Hark- ers Island was a temporary occu pant, after having burned in the Sound. She was towed in for emer gency patching soi as to be suffi ciently seaworthy to make the trip back to tile Island, where she will ' get a new cabin and undergo a side-rebuilding job. The 'craft caught fire while her owner was filling the gas tank. Efforts to ink her failed to prevent exten site damage but a good hull and 11 S. Cravea Dr., Havelock Anderson gave the devotional, reading the 96th psalm responsive ly. A report on the Louisburg as sembly was given by Miss Peggy. Six delegates had been sent to the Christian Youth Camp and Miss Eunice Britton, one of these dele gates, presented a book of famous hymns, stories and pictures to the church library. Miss Britton then read one verse of each hymn while the music was played softly upon the organ by Mrs. C. C. Anderson. Miss Britton then gave the history of the hymn after which the mem "rs of the group sang the hymn. The meeting was then adjourned and dismissed with the Mizpah benediction. Immediately following the meet ing of the Woman's Church Service league of the Havelock Community Chapel the Helen Smith Circle en tertained the out-going and in-coming officers at a reception at the home of Mrs. Lee Booth at 8 S. Cherry drive. The officers, mem bers of the circle, end several guests were present. The home was beautifully de corated with asters and dwarf zin nias and the table was delightfully arranged with lace cloth and punch bowl. Refreshments consisting of sandwiches, cakes, punch, nuts and mints were served buffet style. The circle presented Mrs. C. J. Ander son with a linen dinner cloth and napkins. motor made her well worth salvag ing. Reorganization and general re conditioning seem to be the order of the day at the Croatan Frozen Foods plant. No announcement as to personnel changes or policy seems to be forthcoming as yet, though the painting out of the name-sign may indicate a brand new John Henry for the outfit. The partition between the small ante room and the office has been re moved, the interior repainted, and a new heavy-duty York freezer with a capacity of 2,000 pounds per hour has been installed. The last mentioned work was done under the direction .of George T. Clark, minion of the Spivey Corporation, of Wilmington. Morehead dealer E. C. Ballou will be "taking It easy for a while" as a result of a recent heart attack. Mr. Ballou took his boats south, all the way to Geor gia, at the beginning of the sum mer but reports they are only "doing fair." His -water side mar ket is closed at this time. Entrepreneurs Lon Willis and F. R. Bell are the owners of the latest conversion job to tie up in Beau fort, now being readied for the fall fishing season. The prow of the "Bonner L. Wil lis" certainly shouldn't dig in after the recent going-over and remodel ing she has undergone. The fish box has been moved aft, changing places with the cabin, and giving the erstwhile fighting lady an en tirely new, and more orthodox ap proach to the foam-flecked waves. The change should permit a larger cargo and better speed when load ed. Down the road a short distance from the Holland-Austin place of business, Price Johnson's oyster house is well on its way to com pletion, a modern, sturdy building of concrete block which should require a minimum of upkeep and he easy to clean. But we're mighty curious as to the reason for that double row of windows! Running five boats and getting a goodly quantity of shrimp is Beaufort dealer L, G. Hardesty who is paying 25 cent for large shrimp, 15 for small, and la mak ing moat of hauls from Neuse River and outside. A specialty at Captain Willie Glover's Lilliputian market is cleaned shrimp at 50 cents a pound. Mullet bring him 25. He is using two boats now, mostly in North and Newport Rivers. Lobsters from West Palm Beach are the item of greatest interest at the market run by E. E. Warren for Captain Bill Ballou. They sell for a dollar and twelve cents a piece, while his oysters bring 70 cents a pint, trout 55 a pound, See SKIPPER Page I Weekly Visit About the Base Apprentice Scoop Here's the word wc promised you on the new members of the Ap prentice Association Council of the 3c boys since re-assignment of sec tions. You will remember we gave you those for Sections "A" and "B". For Section "C": Lewis Womble, Dewey Dixon, W. P. Wat son. For Section "D": Harry Bell, Jr., Eugene Rudd, Everett Oliver, Jr. Absent Minded Department! One of the boys, L. W. (not Lewis Womble) had some shop ping to do in Morchead City so jumpod in the car, and took his little daughter with him. He reached the store, left the car door open while he was inside making his purchases, and when it came time to pay up, found he had for gotten his wallet. With big speed he 'got back into the car, rushed home, left the car door open, got his wallet, and hurried back to pay for the groceries. That off his mind, he relaxed and went back to the car. YIl'HS! No baby! He asked everybody around if they had seen his darlin' daughter. One said: "Over there"; another: "Over there"; and when he had gotten a dozen "over thcres" and found no x to mark the spot, he really got desperate. Rushing to the radio station, he asked them to broadcast the disappearance of the child. His wife, at home, heard the S.O.S. on the air and finally contacted the poor father, telling him the little curly-head was calmly playing at home. It seems she had gotten out of the car when he went back for his wallet! . . . and then there's the one about L. W. (not Lesta Willis) who went floundering one night with some buddies. Driving back home, they broke the axle on the car! No chance of getting it fixed at THAT hour so they went to sleep in the car. (Brother, what a carload of snoring that must have been!) Next morn, droopy-eyed and still half-snoozing, they unfolded themselves and thumbed a ride straight to work, never once think ing about letting "the little worn an" know that all was well! Navy Supply Congratulations and best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. James E. Sexton, Sr., the proud family of an eight pound four ounce son, James Ed ward, Jr., born on 18 August 1948. FISH TALE Mr. John Whisenant reported having caught an eight pound sheephead in the Newport River over the weekend. But a little birdie told us, they saw two cans of sardines in his lunch basket, so we have had the thought that per haps these were taken along in memory of luckless trips; although, Whiz tells us he doesn't have any of those trips. I wonder who gave him a "rabbit's foot." PERSONALITIES Mrs. Lula F. Lamm and Mrs. B. F. Britton motored to Greenville, where Mrs. Lamm registered her sqn, Gene, at ECTC.
