equipment, the county NCEA head
reported.
"In 1929 when Morehead City
school was built there were four
extra classrooms," she recounted.
"Today there are no extra class
rooms and the music teacher is
teaching on the stage in the audi
torium. Teachers and principals are re
questing $150 million for schools,
to be spent over the next 15 years.
Another problem confronting
state educators is the transporta
tion problem. Many children have
to leave home two and a half hours
before school starts to catch the
bus and get home in the evening
long after dark. This is because
there are so few busses that many
of them have to make two and
three trips a day, Mrs. Nelson re
ported. . v,. f . t .
She requested that the voting
constituency support the majority
opinion of the education commis
sion appointed by Governor Cherry
last year. The majority opinion
recommends that the state build
the schools and the counties then
be taxed in proportion to ' their
ability to pay.
Teachers further suggest that
the teacher load be reduced from
33 to 30 pupils, a $2,400 minimum
salary, a 10-day sick leave for
teachers, truant officers to check
on non-attendance of pupils, in
creased salaries for principals and
school office personnel, an improv
ed teacher-retirement program,
more help on the school health
program, and increased aid to
backward pupils.
Mrs. Nelson suggested that Ro-1
tarians purchase a large sign, "Our
Teachers Mold Our Nation's Fu
ture" and place it on public
grounds somewhere in town.
Following this talk, Oscar Salter,
Bettic, a guest, was requested to
"sty a few words."
Mr. Salter, claiming that such
an honor was unwarranted and un
expected, proceeded to inform his
listeners that his reputation as a
manufacturer of lies was unbound
ed, that he was only a good re
peater. One day in his cornfield he
found one big car of corn with 11
little ones all around it this, R.
M. Williams, county agent who
was seated next to the speaker,
verified. Mr. Salter then told of
a tremendous sweet potato he
found in his field, the result of a
whole hill of sweet potatoes grow
ing into one. This, too, Mr. Wil
liams verified.
"So anything I say from now on
you know will be true," declared
the speaker.
He told of the wealthy parent
who had a pair of twins and one
other son. When they were ready
to start to school at the age of 6,
the father had a psychiatrist look
at them and give him an idea of
what profession each would fol
low. The psychiatrist looked at one
of the twins and informed the
father that he had all the earmarks
of a murderer. He shook his head
and said to the father that the boy
would probably become a doctor.
The other twin, the phychiatrist
said, showed indications of want
ing to steal, taking everything he
could lay his hands on, especially
money. That son, the father was
told, would probably have to be a
banker.
But the third one, Mr. Salter
said, was the worst of all. The psy
chiatrist discovered that he would
never be anything more than a
foolish idiot. The only thing he
could do was be a farmer.
"And," declared the speaker,
"the idiot's still feeding the doc
tor and banker."
Mr. Salter concluded his talk
with the story abput his coon, dog,
Duke. ,
"I had to carry him to the doc
tor's the other day. He was in
awful shape. I'll tell you how it
happened. My wife says to me
one day last week, 'Honey ' (and
I knew right there something was
wrong), I want a new ironing
board and if you don't make me
one I'm going into town and buy
the most expensive one I can
find.'
"So I got me a nice cypress
board, was out in the barn sand
ing it down and my dog Duke was
there, watching me, walking all
around, smelling the board and
Postoffice

ly," Mr. Webb emphasized. "That
means the full name, house num
ber, street, name of city, zone num
ber, and the State.
"Remember, much holiday mail
is delivered by emergency carriers
who haven't the faintest idea
where 'The Wilson Family' lives
'On Oak Street.' There may even
be two or three different carrier
routes serving different parts of
one street.
"Don't ever put 'City.' Write out
'Morehead City.' If a Christmas
card marked 'City' happens to slip
into the wrong mail pouch, t may
end up in the Dead Letter Office
in Los Angeles or Jersey City."
The postmaster recommends
sending all Christmas cards by
first-class mail which means with
regular 3-cent stamps.
First-class mail is entitled to
"directory service" by skilled post
office clerks who will try to, trace
down addresses who have moved
since you mailed your Christmas
cards last year.
Only first-class mail will be for
warded from one address to the
other or returned to the sender
without collection of additional
postage if the addressee is not lo
cated. It will come back, provided
eyeing it, perking up his ears, ya'
know.
"Well, that night Duke disap
peared. He didn't come back the
next clay, or the next. Four (lays
he was gone and then I woke up
one morning and looked out and
there was Duke lying in the front
vard, near gone. His paws were
bleeding and his fur was matted
and there beside him was the big
gest doggone coon I ever saw.
"You know, that dog thought I
was makin' that board to stretch
a coonskin on!"
there is a return address on each
Christmas card.
"However, if you decide anyhow
to mail your Christmas cards with
1 12-cent stamps keep your
tongue in your cheek and off that
flap!" Mr. Webb warned. Third
class mail must not be sealed and
must not contain personal mes
sages, although a handwritten
signature is permissable. Only one
effort is made to deliver it and
if the address is incorrect or in
complete, a cheerful but misdirect
ed Christmas card will spend a
lonely Yuletide in the dead letter
office.

Food store owners who have not
yet placed cartons in their stores
where shoppers can place items of
food for the boxcar are urged to
do so immediately.
"A boxcar's mighty big." de
clared Mr. May, "but Carteret

everyone does his share."

symphonic drama was launched on
Roanoke Island Costa, then a pho
tographer with the N. Y. Daily
News was assigned to get a pic
ture of Waterside Theatre, the au
dience and the stage while the
show was underway. It was a
tricky shot to get and required a
great amount of flash powder pro
perly placed within the theatre
area. The picture was perfect, ex
cept two persons in the audience
turned around to stare at the
camera just as the flash powder
went off . . . Bill Sharpe told me
that this picture had been publish
ed in up to 2,000 newspapers and
magazines throughout the world.
