THE HAPPY TIMES Nowspapsr for Boys and Girls If? Storytima The Gingerbread Boy There was once a litle old wo man and a little old man, who lived in a little old house in the woods. They would have been happy but for one thing. They wanted a little boy, and they had none. One morning when the little old woman was making gingerbread, she cut a cake in the shape of a litle boy. She dropped it into the pan, and put the pan in the oven. Then she opened the oven door to see < if it were baked, but out jumped the gingerbread boy. Away he ran as fast as his legs could carry him. The little old woman called her husband. They both ran after him, but they could not catch him. And the gingerbread boy ran on until he came to a barn full of threshers. As he went by the door he called to the threshers: "I've run away from A little old woman, A little old man, A little old kettle, A little old pan. And I can run away from you, 1 can." The threshers set out to run after him. They ran very fast, but they could not catch him. And the gingerbread boy hur ried on until he came to a field of mowers : "I've run away from A little old woman, A little old man, A little old kettle, A little old pan, And a barn full of threshers. And I can run away from you, I can." Then the mowers set out to run after him, but they could not catch him. And the gingerbread boy ran on and on, until he came to a cow. He called out to the cow: "I've run away from A little old woman, A little old man, A little old kettle, A little old pan, A bam full of threshers, A field full of mowers. And I can run away from you, I can." So the cow ran, but she could not catch the gingerbread boy, who ran on and on, until he met a fox. He called out to the fox: "I've run away from A little old woman, A little old man, A little old kettle, A little old pan, A barn full of threshers, A field full of mowers, A cow, And I can run away from you, I can." A fox can run very fast. On and on ran the fox after the ginger bread boy until they came to a river. The fox was close behind. "If you would like to go across, said the fox, jump on my tail." So the gingerbread boy jumped up on the fox's tail, and the fox began swimming across the river. But he had gone only a short way when he called back to the gingerbread boy: "The water is deep, and we may drown! Jump on my back." So the gingerbread boy jumped on the fox's back. The fox swam a little farther, and then called out: The water grows deeper (till. Jump on my note!" So the gingerbread boy jumped on the fox's nose. Just then they reached the other bank. The fox opened his mouth wide and in went the gingerbread boy! "Dear me!" the gingerbread boy said, after a minute. "Here I am a quarter gone." And then he said: "I am three quarters gone!" But at last he said: "Oh, dear; I am all gone!" And he never spoke again. Birthday Club Welcomes Three Three new members have joined the birthday club this week?

Six SAorehead Biltmore Reports Success, Promising Progress By MICHAEL L. TAFT Morrhfud Blltmore Manager The Morebead BUtmore Hotel ia happy over the reaponae received through a recent advertiaing cam paign. During the 1057 aeaaon, a sampl ing of regiatration carda were checked and of 800 regiatranta, (12 were from North Carolina. Prac tically all of the out-of-ataters were a fisheries group from Maryland and other like organizations. 1958 tella an entirely different story. Although the hotel atill treasures its "home folks" and ia happy that there has been a tre mendous increase of North Caro linians staying with them this year, there have been many other statca represented as well. During a recent day both Toron to, Canada and Seattle, Wash, were represented in the registra tion. Future Promising Since the Morehead Biltmore Hotel is a new operation, in that it was not in hotel service for sev eral years, the owners feel that the acceptance it has received this year is indicative of a grand fu ture for the hotel. The fact that North Carolina has not had suf ficient fine coastal hotels has con tributed greatly to this acceptance. The four Taylor brothers, Dan, Study Reveals How Flounder, Less Than Inch Long, Can be Identified The results of a comparative study of the postlarvae of the sum mer flounder, the southern large flounder, and the sand flounder in North Carolina by Dr. Earl E. Deubler Jr. of the University of North Carolina Institute of Fish eries Research has been published in Copeia (2), 1958, The Journal . of the American Society of Ichthy- , ologists and He>petologistSi j The study was undertaken to : develop methods of differentiating between the postlarvae of the spe cies (individuals which have ab sorbed the yolk sac but have not , as yet developed the definitive characters of the adults). Valuable Species Although summer flounders con stitute a valuable commercial and recreational resource in marine and brackish waters, very little is known concerning the biology of the species. Prior to the re search of Dr. Deubler, earlier in vestigators had determined that , these flounders probably spawn at sea during the late fall and win ter months. This theory is based on the facts that (1) females with fully devel oped eggs have not been observed in the inside waters; (2) with the onset' of cold weather in the late fall, there occurs a general migra tion of flounders to the deeper, offshore waters presumably for the purpose of spawning; (3) the smallest flounder postlarvae have been collected only at sea while the larger sizes have been col lected in the inside waters of Boguc Sound, Pamlico Sound, and the Newport River. Earlier investigators, however, had not distinguished between the postlarvae of the three species. During the winter months of 1955 through 1957 Dr. Deubler collected many flounder postlarvae (0.3-0.6 inches in total length) by fishing a conic ally -shaped net of snail mesh diameter from dock s,4 bridges, and boats in local inside . waters. The tidal current was suf- | ficiently strong to hold the net at \ the surface of the water. He found that the postlarvae I were readily collected in the upper I water layers, but that collecting ' success varied markedly between day and night sets. Daylight col- I lections yielded very few flounder I postlarvae, but night time sets taken on comparable stages of the tide yielded many postlarvae. r It is believed that the increased [ catches during night hours is due to the fact that the postlarvae can better avoid the net during the ? day-time. They are, indeed, strong and active swimmers. r By rearing flounder postlarvae . to a definite stage in the labora tory, Dr. Deubler found that the s three species present in North Carolina were represented. He fur ther found that by utilizing differ ences which exist in pigmentation, n numbers of vertebrae, and fin 8 rays, the postlarvae of the three s species can be distinguished. y This will enable future investi- 0 gators to delve into earlier aspects of the biology of the species than ? has heretofore been possible.

(AP)? A news cameraman snapping pictures of 1 a class of small fry at a Little n Rock school encountered one boy s who questioned him critically on n each step in photographic proce dure. Finally the cameraman told the youngster jokingly: "You know t; quite a bit about cair.oras? prob- o ably more than 1." The child re- F plied seriously: "Yeah, I do." C Coast Guard Looks for College Men 21 to 26 Rear Admiral H. C. Moore, com nander of the Fifth Coast Guard )istrict, announced today that col ege graduates between the age f 21 and 26 are in demand by the Jnited States Coast Guard for its eserve officer program. Openings are available in the )fficer Candidate School class cheduled to convene in October. i second class will start in March 959. Applicants for Coast Guard OCS iow have a 'choice of two pro rams after completion of the chool. One program entails three ears of active duty and the other nly six months. Upon completion of the 17-week ourse, the officer candidates will <e commissioned ensigns in the Jnited States Coast Guard Reserve nd be assigned to active duty, assignments will include such aried fields as search and rescue, ort security, engineering, and ids-to-navigation. Rear Admiral Moore de&cribes his opportunity as a way for col ?ge graduates to fulfill their mili ary obligation as officers in the aval service which performs es ential peacetime functions while maintaining preparedness for de ense. Further information may be ob ained by contacting the Director f Reserve, U.S. Coast Guard, loom 337, U.S. Postoffice and Courthouse Building, Norfolk 1, Va. William, Alfred and Leslie of Sea Level, N. C., Norfolk, Va., and West Palm Beach, Fla. and V. E. Fountain of Tarboro, N. C , who own the hotel, have tried to think of every conceivable way in which they can add to their guests plea sure and comfort. Added this year are a new swimming pool, a motor boat launching ramp, shuffle board court, putting green, croquet and archery range. A new dining room and kitchen have also been added this year. Air-Conditioned Rooms Last year the owners air condi tioned all of the 100 guests rooms, built a coffee shop and provided a 570-foot inland waterway fishing pier. The fruits of these labors are beginning to be felt in letters com ing in from Syracuse and Ithaca, N. Y , Monongahcla and Latrobe, Pa., Xenia and Steubenville, Ohio, Arlington and Warick, Va., Nor wich, Conn., Covington, Ky., Evansville, Ind., West Englewood, N. J. and many, many other dis tant points. A sampling of letters received this month showed that North Carolina still claims Morehead City and the Morehead Biltmore for its own. Other states, however, are beginning to express an in terest. Out of 208 letters, 107 were received from towns in North Caro lina. The balance were divided be tween the following number of cities and towns in the following states ? Virginia 20, West Virginia 5, Pennsylvania 22, Maryland 5, Florida 2, New York 19, New Jer sey 10, Canada 1, Tennessee 1, Ohio 6, Alabama 1, Washington. D. C. 2, Kentucky 1, Indiana 1, Connecticut 1 and Delaware 1. New Payroll These are reasons why the own ers feel that Morehead City has gained an "industry" by the re opening of the Morehead Biltmore Hotel. The handling of this corres pondence and of the reservations that are being made, rooming and feeding these people and offering all the other services that can be found in a fine hotel, has added a sizable payroll to the community. In addition to this, of course, is the incidental money spent by these people for gas and oil, meals outside the hotel, entertainment, and the thousand and one things we all spend money for while on vacation. Many small factories have moved into a community with much fanfare that would con tribute far less to the community's well being than would the hotel. One of the things that we are proudest of is the fact that the people in the area have indicated their willingness to help the growth of the hotel by issuing personal invitations to convention groups to meet in Morehead City. Without their help it is very difficult to ob tain these conventions. The hotel is pledged to show its appreciation by making the work load of the local committee far easier. According to most tourist sur veys and convention delegate ex penditures, a visitor to an area will leave between $12 and $25 lor every day he is away from home. These figures are much higher in larger cities where there ate more things to spend money for ar.d where everything is more expen sive. It is to be ardently hoped that Morehead City will once again re gain its title as "North Carolina's Summer Capitol". The Morehead Biltmore Hotel is trying to do its part in making this hope come true. Six-Year-Old Prefers To be Apache Indian Norman, Okla. (AP) ?
