"thirty Fair Will Open Next Week By FLOY O. GARNER UAifiA A gaait nvnw ngcm Though agricultural fain and th? blue skies of October usually go hand-in-haad, (or the (oiks in Car teret, this year, it's different. Fair Time is not )ust around tke cor ner?it is here! The Carteret County Fair begins Monday. Sept. 15. Sponsored by the American Legion Post, 99 of Beaufort, the fair will be held at the America* Legion Fair Grounds on U-nnox ville Road, just outside of Beau fort. Entries in the fair will be re ceived at the office of the secre tary of the fair at the fair grounds any time Monday, and until 1:00 p.m. Tuesday. Entries must be made in person or by mail. All exhibits will be released Saturday, Sept. 20, at 4 p.m. Raage Wide Most anyone can take entries to the fair? the range is wide, cov ering everything from livestock to homemade booties for Baby. When you were doing needlework o n tUo*e cold win ter nights or canning fruits and vegetables on the warm summer days, I hope you were thinking occa sionally of the Fair. Floy G. Garner That is the place and the time for you to show off samples of your best v jrk, whether it be hem stitching or a glass of homemade jelly, or hand painted picture which you think is a work of art. So, get busy right now? dig your needle work out of the cedar chest, pick out your prettiest jars of preserves and bring it all out to the County fair on Monday. The State Fair is coming up iti October, and blue-ribbon entries in the County Fair offer keen com petition in that big event. How Judged? Several people have asked me how the judges score canned goods, preserves, jellies, jams, pickles, etc. Appearance, flavor, texture and color are the most important features, but tie type of container counts, too. Containers should be standard, and a size practicable to average home. Clear glass pint or quart stand ard jars are suitable for canned fruits and vegetables; pint stand ard jars for jams and fruit butters; half-piat Jars are preferred for jellies, and either quart or fftti jars for preserves. In canned fruits and vegetables, the color should be that * tM natural fruit or vegetable. Syrup or liquid should bo clear, free frod seeds, etc. The product should to tender, yet not overcooked? only young and tender vegetables should be canned. The natural flavor should be preserved as much aa posaible. In canning fruits, too much sugar should not be usad. No defective or over-ripe fruits or vegetable* will be found in quality canned products. "Oie product should have uniformity of site and shape. Tfef way the fruit or vegetable is packed in the jar is aleo important . . should be arranged with ref erence to symmetry and best use of space within the jar. Attractiveness of pack should be considered but not time-wasting fancy packs. In preserve*, fruit should have original shape a* aearly aa poa siblc. It should be clear, and in somj cases, transparent, not to* dark. Fruit flavor sitould not be destroyed by the use of too much sugar. Oood texture means tender, but firm and plump. Fruit should be packed in jar with reference to symmetry, and the juice should be clear and not too dark. The consistency should be heavy, but not enough to crystallize. There should be about oae-third as much syrup as fruit. Jams are judged on smoothness, flavor, consistency and texture, color and clearness, and the container in which thry arep acked. Jams should not be covered with paraffin. The general appearance, consis tency and flavor of jellies are the primary poiats for judging. The color of jelly should be pronounced, yet natural. The jelly should be transparent tnd sparkling, with no sign of crystallisation. The flavor should be that of the natural fruit. "Bluefibbon" jelly is tender, breaks with distinct cleavage, angles hpld shape; is not syrupy, sticky or tough. Judges for the Fair will come from out of the county. They will be competent and reliable and not easily "hoodwinked". If a jar of pickle* is not homemade, they will know it and the same goes fer most other exhibits in the fair. Products or articles which have been awarded hlue ribbons hi the County fair in previous years may be exhibited in the Fair but are not eligible for competition. We can make this year's fair a success if we try. A fair can be ?n4 is no better or bigger than the quality and quantity of entries a ad exhibits we place there. Bee you at the Fair? 51 Real Estate Transfers Are Recorded in County (Editor's Note: In recording real estate transfers, the law does not require that the amount paid for the property be stated in the deed.

Th# wheels were found drift ing recently 20 miles off More head City by Capt. Wallace Guthrie, left, and Gilbert Rus sell, mate on the Dolphin IV. They must have been some where on the bottom a long time, mariners say. because inside were baby lobsters and stone Photo by Reginald LewU crabs. Marine growth, such as barnacles and seaweed, was all over them. Were the wheels on a truck that was part of a ship cargo in world war II? What else is on the bottom where these lay so long? Only King Neptune knows. Newspaper Continues First as Main Channel of News for Most People By litLI.IER KRIEGKBAUM Acting Chairman, Department of Journalism, New York University Despite innovation in mass media since the end of World War II, the newspaper remains the main channel for news for most peeple in the United States. This fact was emphasized over and over again in statistics re leased Aug 17 from one of the most comprehensive analyses of puklic media usage ever made In tbto country. the survey of l.tlt adult Ameri can* was undertaken by the Na tional Aseociation of Science Writ ers and New York University un der a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. The Survey Research Center, a division of the Institute for 9ocial Research, University of Michigan, drew the sample, pro cessed data, and prepared tabula tions. Dr. Robert C. Davis of the SRC staff wrote a 254-page statis tical study on the findings, "The Pulilic Impact of Science in the Mass Media" (University of Michi gaa) and the New York Univer sity Press has printed a 48-page summary entitled, "Science, the News, and the Public." Detailed Portrait A detailed portrait of the news paper users 19 obtainable from these findings and this picture may be compared with that of users of magazines, radio, and television. The survey showed: 91% of the public read news papers. 77% read a daily paper. 27% read at least two papers daily. , In contrast to the one In 11 who read no newspaper regularly, one person out of eight in the sample of 1,919 regularly did not watch television, one in five did not listen to radio, and one In three did not read a magazine. Newspapers are the Ass con veyor belt for general information to the public. When the 1,919 respondents were asked: "From which of the sources do you get most of your general news ? newspapers, magazines, ra dio, television?" the results were: Newspapers ? 57%. Television? 22%. Radio? 16%. Magazines ? 4%. Not answered ? 1%. Secondary Source Whan the chief secondary source for news was requested, the fig ures showed: Television ? M%. Newspapers? 26%. Radio? 20%. Magazines? 10%. Not answered? ?%. Thus the newspapers, both daily and weekly, covered 83% of the sample in either primary or secon dary news source preference. This was much higher than any other medium. When the questioning turned to use of media M a source of enter tainment, television won hands down with three out of four or 74% of the entire sample. Radio was second with 14% while magazines got ?% and newspapers, i%. As a secondary source o I entertainment, newspapers and radio lead with 1 28% each. Magazines got 25% and television, which has swept the 1 field as a primary source, got only #%. Number not anawering, 10%. Typleal Reader Did the survey show anything about the typical aeWipaper read er? The reading public fer the press is so large that It is almost iden tical with the average American, tt la U> those who do not read newspapers that the differences appear. In the main, they are the underprivileged ? the poorer, the aged, the least educated. ?Reprinted from Editor and Pub lisher, Aug. 23, IMS. Tiny, Destructive Oyster Drills Have No Trouble 'Getting Around' it haa bean recognized for many years that young oyster drills, newly hatched from the egg cap tuie and only about 1/32 inch long, ?re able to drill holes in young oysters and consume them, and that they constitute a serious enemy of seed oysters But it has aot been known to what degree UltM tiny crawling snails can move from one place to another in coastal waters. Br. Melbourne R. Carriker, as sociate professor of zoology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, working during the sttftimer at the Institute of Fisher ies Research as visiting investi gator aided by John Blake, recent ly published a report in the Jour nal at the Elisha Mitchell Scien tific Sodety It la based on research carried out in 1956 which indieatoa that these tiny snails may migrate rela tively long distances from their hatching grounds. They do so auto mttieatty, responding to certain environmental conditions In an In teresting way. The word "automatically" ia la the abaaoce ei food organ isms, newly hitched drills crawl ?lowly upstream against tidal cur rents over the bottom. At the same time a strong negative response to the force of gravity and a strong positive response to mod erate illumination Impels them upward away from the bottom from the danger of suffocation by suspended sediments, densest im mediately over soft bottoms, and onto available elevated food-bear ing surfaces. This orientation reaotion also brings them onto floating marine vegetation which comes to rest over them on the bottom during slack water. Young drills quickly crawl onto the vegetation (re sponding to the urge to climb up ward away from the force of grav ity and toward moderate illumina tion) and by means of a highly adhesive foot are able to cliag firmly to It. As soon as the tidal currents start flowing again the vegetation is carried away, and with it the drills. At the next alack water period the drills? now some dis tance away from the original site crawl off the vegetation, particu larly in the presence of attractive food animals which . they can readiij (cent, nodi as a dog can follow the Kent of another aalmal through the woodl In addition, along the ahores of baya these tiny drills are able to crawl upward to the surface Of the water on hard objects, and on calm daya they creep upside down under the surface film. As long at the water remaina calm, they continue to cling to the meniscus and may be tranaported soma diatanoe by tidal or wind driven current*. It 1 a concluded that the ability ef these little drills to hitch rides on floating vegetatiaa, on slowly moving animal*, and under the meniscus of water encourages wide dissemination. Further that the tiny drilla are able to move about much more actively and Widely over native frounda than waa once auppoaed. The studies help to explain how large numbers of young drills may appear rather suddenly on water bottoms which did not appear to harbor them previously Ellis laland got Ita affectionate nickname of "God'a 27V* Acres" from ??e of the U million immi grants who came through that New York doorway to become AmeclM* Film on TV Will Tell School Story The premiere performance of a new motion picture, Crowded Out, is scheduled for Sunday over chan nels 7 and 9. Produced by the Na tional Education Association (NEA) in cooperation with the North Caro lina Education Association, Crowd ed Out dramatically tells the story of what happens to individual chil dren when communities outgrow their schools. The film will be shown on chan nel 9 between 3:20 and 4 (follow ing the ball game) and on channel 7 at 4 p.m., according to H. L. Joslyn, county superintendent of schools. From the standpoint of the skilled teacher who can no longer give her pupils individual atten tion; from the standpoint of the* gifted child, the withdrawn boy, and the eager girl who wants to learn the story unfolds and shows how tragic neglect of school facili ties is overtaking the nation and its youngsters. "The film is being shown on TV simultaneously all over the coun try at a time when the problem of overcrowded schools is a major problem in almost every Ameri can community," said Miss Joyce Taylor, president of the Carteret unit, NCSA, "and when, in spite of record school construction pro grams, the needs of individual chil dren are being woefully neglected "When we look to the future we realize that tomorrow's engineers, scientists and mathematicians ? and teachers? must get their start in today's elementary schools. To neglect these children now is to gamble with the progress and se curity of our nation. 1 urge every citizen of this area to see Crowded Out in Its television premiere this week." Crowded Out was filmed in real schools by Agrafilms for the NEA and affiliated state education as sociations and is being shown on tv as a public service of WITN and WNCT.

Pubtictty rhjlrnun How Wise Housewives Fill Market Basket on Budget Sliced roast beef, park or turkey may be used lo mike these de licious (rilled barbecue sandwiches. If you want to beat the rising costs of filling that market basket, consi.?i?nt buying of specials offer ed at Colonial and A&P stores in i Beaufort and Morehead City will help you do it. What a $5 bill will buy this week end at AJtP: one pound of 8 O'clock coffee, 3 pounds of boneless chuck roast, two 10-ounce packages of A&P chopped spinach, a can of Del Monte small green peas, a dozen ears of corn, pound of Blue Bonnet margarine. 3 pounds of bananas, pound of delicious seed less white grapes, a large Jane Parker angel cake and two 12 ounce glasses of jelly (grape or ap ple). And after all that, you'll have 3 cents change to jingle in your your pocket. A chuck roast, with the potatoes done in with it, would be a nice weekend dinner, served with peas, fresh grapes on the side as a salad, topped off with a fluffy slice of angel cake, and iced coffee. If you're wondering what to do with the left-over roast (should your family be the type who sad dles you with left-overs), try jiffy barbecued sandwiches. Slice the left-over roast, dip the slices in prepared barbecue aauce, fit neatly into slices of bread. Then broil under your range broiler, turning to toast bread on both sides. This is a tasty variation for the old standby luncheon sand wich. A $5 bill will go a long way at Colonial this weekend: a 5-pound; smoked Luter's picnic ham (and| what can produce more, different main dishes than a ham?), two loaves of bread, a half gallon of Sealtest ice cream, 3 pounds of apples (fine for pies, baked apples, ? apple sauce), pound of ground be*f, a big 1! ? ounce jar of strawberry preserves; with a pound of pure pork sausage a package of 8 buttermilk biscuits free! And 7 cents in change com ing to ypu. Housewives who shop THE NEWS TIMES fowl ads first find that they can make their "houae moiiey" go farther. In this, as ia other things, advance planning (making out that shopping list) pays. | J. E.
