Jasper Bell, chairman of the Civitan projects committee and a member of the steering committee, acted as master of ceremonies. The Morehead City band, under the direction of Ralph Wade played be fore and after the ceremony. The capsule contained items in cluding a Centennial book, a Cen tennial issue of THE NEWS TIMES, Centennial coins. Centen nial seals, Centennial caps, a let ter from Mayor Dill to the mayor in 2008, pictures and an overtime parking ticket furnished by Lt. Carl Blomberg of the police depart ment. The youngest children of the members of the Centennial steer ing committee, some of whom at tended the ceremony, will be re sponsible for seeing that the cap sule is dug up SO years from now. The capsule was furnished by Mayor Dill. He got it from a cas ket company which supplies his funeral home. The letter which Mayor Dill wrote to Morehead City's mayor of 2008, follows: 18 December 1958 Dear Mayor, Last year we celebrated the founding of Morehead City with a big three-day event sponsored by certain civic-minded people. It was by far the greatest attraction of which we were ever a part ? but it did not pay off financially. Any how, everyone had a good time and we got almost as much publicity as the Civil War. According to the best information obtainable, the town of Morehead City was founded in 1857 but was not chartered until 1858. There are some who say it was chartered twice but why bother about such details. We know that we are here and that the first hundred years are said to be the most difficult. At this writing it seems that about half of our population is non native. (Non-native to Morehead City ? or to North Carolina) and the very f*ct of this condition has contributed greatly to the joy of living here since almost without exception all who come make their own contribution to community betterment and very quickly be rooc a part of Morehead City. This Is due in no small measure to the activity of the churches here. If those of us who are now (1958) living here had our livei to live over again I am sure that almost all would be willing to take their chances right here in Morehead City. TTierc is no need of any advice from the past since no one takes advice anyhow. Too, I have found that most of the good things that we have came in spite of and not because of our effort*. It might be well to observe that the age old problem of taxes is with us as always and ever will be. t wonder what you will be using for money in 2006. Certainly, all will agree that we of this generation live better than did the generation before us and you who read this will probably think that we lived in a crude man BURNS CLEANER NO IMOK1, NO ODOR Woman Uses Telephone, Radio to Speak to Son Russell A. Greenwood . . . stationed at Antarctic Ham radio operators and the telephone company keep Mrs. Mar garet Greenwood. Morehead City, in touch with her son, chief ma chinist Russell A. Greenwood, who is stationed with the Naval Support Unit for Operation Deep Freeze III at the South Pole. During the long Antarctic winter, March-October, no planes can get to the camp and time is no chance for mall to come or go. The camp radio operators are in their glory ? everyone in the camp is at their mercy. Goiig on a rotation basis, the op erators call the men in and try to contact a ham operator near their homes. A> soon as a contact is made, the ham operator gets oi\ the phone and calls the party to whom the ice-bound man wants to talk. ner. Everything seems to improve as time goes on except the music. There wa> better music a hundred years ago than now. Now, Mr. Mayor, if you are read ing this to a large gathering, please have the band play The Stars and Stripes Forever, if the playing of this selection is not con trary to the law of the land, after which all should go home and bury the past for another half century. Best withes to all. Geo. W. Dill, Jr., Mayor ' ? 1 By an ingenious system of radio telephone connections, it is possi ble for Mrs. Greenwood (and oUier mothers around the country) to talk directly to their sons. The only coat is the price of the long distance call from the ham op erator. Mrs. Greenwood says she heard from her son every other week for several months. Sometimes, of course, weather conditions prevent a connection and she has gone as long as six weeks without hearing from him. Chief Greenwood has been at Antarctica since Oct. 15, 1957. He and other members of the expedi tion will leave next month, follow ing the end of the Geophysical Year. Mrs. Greenwood, a native of Washington state, has lived in Morchcad City for four years. Her son-in-law, W. G. McNeal, works at Cherry Point and lives at Mit chell Village. She came here to live near him and her daughter.

Santa's face i may be drawn on another Piecc ?* oer and put on a piece of cara ?,rd and jfasted at the top of the "chimney". Santa Claus Christmas seals are good for that.

Give them a handful of pack aged soap or detergent and a little water. Let them whip it with a hand or electric beater until it gets to a thick consistancy.
