School Lunches
North Carolina schools happily faced the problem last month
of finding storage space for four carloads of concentrated orange
juice, five carloads of honey, 26 carloads of applesauce, nine car
lords cf dried eggs, fourteen carloads of dried fruits, and 55 car
loads of potatoes.
The food will go toward providing hot noonday meals, for
less than 20 cents each, for thousands of school children in the
st.le this year under the Nation.il School Lunch program.
The act establishing the program was passed in 1946 and
provides federal gmits-in-aid to slates serving school lunches.
The states have the primary responsibility of developing their
own program and nwst match the federal grant dollar for dollar.
In matching the grants, food and labor supplied by the schools
may be counted.
The lunches must follow a menu pattern recommended by
the Fond and Nutrition Committee of the National Research Coun
cil. Already surveys have shown improvement in child health
in several states as a result of the program.
This year the Department of Agriculture will spend $75,000,
000 in helping to provide hot lunches for more than 6,000,000
children in 47 states. This budget docs not include the quanti
fies of food, to be sent to the stales, which were purchased in

Thoughts for an open mind...
Every man is in one sense a historical production. The ideas
which form his life have come to him through the course of
development in which he moves.
Dwell not on the mistakes you have made, the things you lack or
wishful thinking: they are a burden you carry. Check your
advantages, instead, what you have, health, brains, abilities,
talents, etc. The first will give you fears and failure. The
second success and happiness.
Certain virtues imply a certain correlated vices, so that in recom
mending a virtue the consideration which ought to weigh is:
Does this virtue, with its correlative vice, outweigh the op
poMt? virtue with its correlative vice? The fact that a vir
tue is good in itself is not enough; it is necessary to take ac
count of the vices that it entails and the virtues that it ex
cludes.
He is not wise who is wise in words only.

In The Good Old Days
THIRTY-FIVE YEAR8 AGO
As a result of the observation
of Good Roads Day which was held
recently, there was a possibility
that a Good Roads club would be
organized in the eastern part of
the county.
Beaufort townspeople were be
ing urged to put trash in the re
ceptacles instead of throwing it
into the streets.
TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO
An editorial suggested that by
the time the highways were finish
ed people might be traveling by
air.
Wire Grass closed its community
fair and announced it had been
extremely successful.
TEN YEARS AGO
The U. S. Fisheries lab mullet
pond was stocked for experimental
purposes.
The Beaufort Chamber of Com
merce was planning a gladiolus
festival for the early summer.
FIVE YEARS AGO
The lead editorial in the paper
commented on the fact that the
blackout had been lifted for a
month, but the street lights were
till off.
The Seal Sale goal for the coun
ty was $1200.

I'd like that flso.
You will find a coca-ccla and a

Thank you.

Reminiscing
Sitting on a fish box in the sun
along with "Pappy" Joe Fulcher
a few days ago, "Pappy" got to
telling about happenings of his
boyhood. One of his yarns was
about the catching of frogs in the
pools about the old Macon House,
later known as the Charles Hotel.
Brinkley Wiggins, operating the
hotel back in the 70's, is said to
have been annoyed by the croak
ing of tht frogs in the pools and
low placet about the hostelry.
- Making an offer of $1.00 a barrel
to have the frogs caught and dis
posed Of, Joe with several other
boys caught six barrels full of the
frogs. The catch was placed on a
flat car and dumped off in the
vicinity of Wildwood by a member
of the train crew.
1,000 Russians Renounce
Soviet Citizenship in China
than 1,000 Russians in China have
renounced the Soviet citizenship
they recently obtained, the China
Press says..
They took out the new citizen
ship papers when Moscow announ
ced by-gones would be bygones
and these Russians who fled the
Communist regime more than two
decades ago would be Welcome
back home.
Of the 1,000, at least 700 live in
Shanghai, the rest in north China
cities. Apparently they don't like
the stories of the hard life in Rus
sia seeping back from those who
already have gone homo. Of the
original 14,000 White Russians in
Shanghai, only 4,000 remain. The
rest either were repatriated or
emigrated to North and South
America.

shows permits issued totaling only
$10,390. Of this sura $9,590 repre

at a estimated cost of $4,900, Alon

a small house by Olie Roberts, 18th

ings in the offing to be erected
during the1 month of December
may bring the total for the year
within the half million mark.
Two brick layers were having
a he; ted argument over the Labor
question. Finally Pete challenged
Joe to state -the difference between
Capital and Labor. Joe was equal
to the occasion. "The difference
'tween Capital and Labor is this:

that would be Capital, but if I tried
to get it back, that would be Labor."
