Weather Bureau Gives Citation To State Patrol Ralelgb? F<r its part In relaying (torm warning! and aaalating with emergency communications during Hurricane Helene, the North Caro lina State Highway Patrol was re cently cited by the United States Weather Bureau. A "public service" award, pre pared in Washington and signed by the chief of the Weather Bu reau, was presented to patrol com mander James R. Smith by Ra leigh weatherman Chick Carney. Carney remarked, during the brief presentation ceremonies, that Helene was by far the most devas tating natural disturbance to ever strike anywhere with no loss of life. He commended the highway patrol for its hour by hour coop eration during the storm's course. Patio! headquarters assigned a atate trooper to the Raleigh-Dur ham weather station on a standby emergency while Hurricane Helene tore at coastal areas on her way northward. Other patrol cars cruised constantly in the area warning residents of the danger. The weather bureau award will be displayed in patrol headquar ters in Raleigh. Copies will later be sent to troop headquarters in Greenville, Fayetteville, Greens boro, Salisbury and Asheville, Col. Smith said.

Coach Names Smyrna High Basketball Players By PAT CHAD WICK Hi, folks! Now to tell you what has been happening here at SHS this past week. First of all, those of you who know Judy Thompson, our new Miss Smyrna High, I am sure re alized the mistake in last week's Judy Thompson Pine Cones. So, with an apology to Judy and to you bewildered readers, we are putting a picture of her in this week's edition so that you may all know who she actually is. All the girls who went out for basketball were really excited last week when our coach, Mr. Parkin, selected the team for the season.

The players hav* also been is sued suits. On Tuesday night, Nov. 4, the girls' basketball team at SHS went to Atlantic to attend a basketball clinic, wbicb was to Inform the players and coaches of changes that have been made in the rules. I think all those who attended considered it very interesting and really profited by it. The officials in charge of the clinic said that bulletins concern ing the new changes will be put into circulation soon so that t,he spectators may have a better un derstanding of the games. The Atlantic boys met with the Smyrna boys Thursday night. This week our senior bigwhcel is Benjamin Brooks. He was born to Mr. and Mrs. Bennie Brooks on Dec. 3, 1940.

When asked what his favorite food is he replies, "Steak". His favo Benjamin Brooks rite singer is Johnny Mathis, and his favorite song is "To Know Him Is To Love Him." Benjamin con aiders Tony Curtis and Debbie Reynolds tops in the line of movie stars. He says that he isn't cxactly sure what his plans for the future are.

Good News About By Harry Vratort. 4-H IMm $2 Thii week'* column wai written for ui by Ray Bowlin. Ray and I visited Charlotte recently to attend an electric congress. Sunday a week ago Mr. Venters and I left Morchead City to go to Jacksonville. The purpose of this Journey was to board a bus which in turn took us to Charlotte. Our bus, which was chartered by Caro lina Power and Light Co., picked up delegates to the electric con gress. We ate dinner in Laurinburg aboard the bus. Later that after noon, about three o'clock, we ar rived in Charlotte. After register ing and finding our rooms, we took a much-needed rest. About 6 p.m. we all headed to the ballroom for supper. Welcoming speeches and orientation talk9 were very interesting. After supper we retired to our rooms. We assembled at 8 p.m. for ves per services. The services were over about 9:30. Some of as then went to bed but others stayed up until one or two o'clock. The next morning the operator called us at 7 o'clock. After a very delicious breakfast we prepared to visit the Allen Steam plant. There were five chartered busses waiting at the hotel door. When we reached the steam plant we divided into groups and toured the plant. The switch yard, coal pile and water pumps on the out side were our first objectives. We then entered the building. After seeing the boilers, turbines and generators, we went to the lab. There we learned the process that they go through to make sure that the coal is safe to be used in their boilers. After all this was over, we enter ed the office and each of us was given a pen with "Reddy Kilowatt" on it. We then went back to the Hotel Charlotte. At noon we met in the ballroom for lunch. After more speeches and a talent show, we were dismissed. In the afternoon we met for a few more speeches, demonstrations and a panel discussion on "Why I carried an electric project." At 6 p.m. we met in the ballroom for our banquet. After eating steaks we retired to our rooms to dress for the halloween party. Dur ing the party we watched skits and had chances to win door prizes. A 4-H band played for dancing at the party. After the party was over we were supposed to go to our rooms and go to bed but I don't think anyone did. Some watched tv and others went to the soda shop. It was after 2 o'clock when I went to floor. The reason I say "floor" is because we didn't like the beds because they were too soft, so we slept on the floor. The next morning I heard a bell with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tul ly WUliamston. Mrs. Donald Taylor and daugh trc, Cindy, arc spending several weeks in Frenchlick, Ind., with her parents and family. Mrs. T. C. Manning and ion, Glenn, of Morehead City, her sister, Mrs. Colonel Scott and daughter, Janet, of Newport, were recent vis itors of Mr. and Mrs. Norwood Paul. Mr. and Mrs. Alonza Willis, Mrs. Melvina Salter, Mrs. Roxie Taylor and Capt. William Rose, Beaufort, spent Sunday afternoon here with relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. William Lloyd spent the week at Crab Point with their daughter, Mrs. Seibert Morris and family. Mr. Arline Taylor and family of Beaufort spent Sunday with his brother, Ewell Taylor and family. The Rev. W. R. Hale filled his regular appointment at the Meth odist Church Sunday. Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Wiley Tay lor, Beaufort, were visitors in our community Monday. ringing and in my deep I didn't realize what it waa. After about five minutes I finally woke up and knew it was the phone. The op erator asked me if everybody was dead. At S o'clock we boarded the bus to come home. We stopped at a restaurant on the way home to eat breakfast and ate dinner in Wil mington. We got home about 7 .o'clock. I had a very enjoyable trip to Charlotte and everyone at the hotel was very nice. Top Fisheries Official Gives Quarterly Report Damage to the state commercial fisheries division in hurricane Hel ene amounted to $2,500. according to C. G. Holland, fisheries commis sioner, who presented his quarter ly report recently at the state C&D board meeting at Asheville. Commenting on oystcring, the commissioner said, "About seventy dredges, or one-third of the fleet in that area, are operating in Pam lico Sound. New River is having the best season in ten years al though they had lots of oysters last year. This is attributed by many to our oyster seed planting in this area. "Dr. Chestnut made a survey in September of the seed oysters and shells planted last year and he re ports the seeds arc growing unus ually well, but that the shells did not have too good a catch of spats during the summer due to extreme cold early spring weather. How ever, they could have a fair catch in the fall." Commissioner Holland reported that two hearings have been con ducted during the past three months. One at Washington was well attended. This dealt with clos ing the Pungo and Pamlico rivers to all types of trawling. The hearing at Ocracoke, in re gard to repealing a regulation, was not well attended. The commissioner concluded his report as follows: "We acquired a plane during this quarter which has increased the efficiency of our law enforce ment program tremendously. The plane and pilot participated in the reccnt Ranger Training School at Lake Mattamuskeet conducted by the Forestry Division, so as to ren der their assistance in cases of emergency. "Our division is in good finan cial condition.

Please understand that this schedule is not rigid. We shall be happy to have you visit the school at any time.
