Robert 0. Oliver Is j
On Aircraft Carrier
In Antarctic Circle
_______ i
Edenton Boy Charter 1
Member Order of
Penguin
Robert D. Oliver, seaman, first
class, son of Mr. and Mrs. John
Oliver, who is serving aboard the ,
aircraft carrier USS Philippine Sea,
has been made a charter member in
the Order of the Penguin, an order
created by Rear Admiral Richard E.
Byrd especially for the 4,000 men of
Task Force 68, who crossed the Ant- '
arctic circle while participating in
“Operation Highjump.”
The Philippine Sea, under the com- .
mand of Capt. D. S. Cornwell, USN,
is the only aircraft carrier to have
penetrated below the Antarctic Circle.
Her mission with “Operation High
jump” was to carry Rear Admiral
Byrd, technical commander of the ex- ,
pedition, and six transport planes ,
within easy flying distance of Little
America. These DC 3 transports be
came the largest planes ever launch
ed from a carrier deck.
During her six day sojourn at a
rendezvous area in the Ross Sea 600
miles from Little America, the ship
transferred 100 tons of cargo, 100,000
pieces of mail and additional person
nel to three ships, one from each
group of Task Force 68; and deliver
ed mail to a submarine operating in
those' waters. Among those taken
aboard the Philippine Sea, the first
ship to return to the States from the
Antarctic Expedition, were five of
the six survivors of the December
patrol bomber crash.
Approximately 300 icebergs were
counted in the ship’s vicinity and she
came within 10 miles of the forbod
ing ice pack. The two month, 19,000
mile cruise, which made Naval and
aviation history, took the crew of
1,800 through a gauntlet of weather
ranging from torrid to frigid.
Nutrition Spotlight In
1947 Observance Os
Demonstration Week
The importance of planning meals i
for good nutrition will be one of the !
keynotes of the 1947 observance of!
National Home Demonstration Week'
in North Carolina, according to Miss 1
Verna Stanton, assistant state agent j
for the State College Extension Ser- j
vice.
The week of May 4-11 has been set:
aside as a period when the state’s j
2,221 Home Demonstration Clubs will J
tell their communities what they have;
v done to further better farm living i
during the past year, according to:
Miss Stanton, who cited figures to
show that in nutrition phases alone,
more than nine thousand Tar Heel
families were assisted in improving
their home food supply by making
changes in home food production.
During a time of high prices and
many shortages, rural women have
learned how to extend limited supplies
of sugar, fats and meats, she said.
“They realize,” Miss Stanton de
clared, ir discussing the work of
more than fifty-six thousand enrolled
club women, “the importance of plan
ning meals for good nutrition, and
are working out ways to provide both
children and adults with the right
foods to keep them well.”
Theme of the second annual nation
al observance in the United States,
Alaska. Hawaii and Puerto Rico, will
be “Today’s Home Builds Tomorrow’s
World". Some three and a half mil
lion rural women will plan and direct
the week's events.
Telling Secrets
The Major—You know, I have not
seen your husband since he returned
to civil life.
The Ex-Captain’s Wife—You mean
since he was released from the Army,
don’t you? He never was very civil.

Colored Fund Now
Clarified By Receipt
All Money on Hand to
Make Refunds to
Students
Following a story in The Herald
last week relative to refunding money
given to buy physical education uni
forms for colored school children, the
teacher involved, Miss Emma P. Hod
nett, has clarified the situation in pro
ducing a receipt for SIOO which she ,
turned over to the treasurer of the ,
school. The money is in the hands of
the treasurer, he having given a re- ,
ceipt for it, but in some manner it was
not clearly designated on the records,
and for that reason the transaction
was not clear.
However, since Miss Hodnett pro
duced a receipt for SIOO, the records i
have been cleared up and, the amount
is in balance. i
Since the receipt was produced and |
an investigation made, Principal D. F. :

We Jove 'em in December
as we do in May
REMEMBER the day you first
. romped away in that Buick of
yours? How those eight fireball
cylinders fairly floated you over the
hills how those road-steady two
. tons of lively car answered sweetly
every light touch of your hand on
the wheel how you glided along
with foursquare BuiCoil springing
smoothing every wrinkle in the
road?
That’s what your Buick was built
to do. Years and years of that kind
of driving are in it —especially
when it gets the interested, in
formed car care this fine an auto
mobile should have.
That doesn’t mean just periodic

early this week:
“We have interpreted our records
and checked our account for physical
education uniforms and on April 21,

“Parents are requested to notify

Seed Corn Delivered
To 4-H Contestants
Assistant County Agent Robert
Marsh last week delivered 10 pounds
of Funk’s G-714 hybrid corn to each
of the 25 4-H Club members who
have a corn project this year. In
all cases except tow, the Club mem
bers are using hybrid seed. In these
two cases the Club members’ dads
prefer their sons to use a regular
variety of open pollinated field corn.
Mr. Marsh is especially interested
in these two projects and believes
the two boys and their dads will be
convinced of the merit of hybrid corn
when the winners of the corn contests
are announced.

One of the things that play a part in
Fireball snap is Buick’s wafer-thin
steel cylinder gasket. Just 15 thou
sandths of an inch thick, it’s a “must"
for the high compression this power
ful straight-eight is designed for.
Other kinds that are thicker cut
down the compression and the car’s
liveliness.
In carbon and valve jobs, or any
ether where this gasket must be re
placed, only this Buick gasket will
assure the fit Buick engineers in
tended. No wise Buick owner would
have any other in his engine.
Just another example of how you
get more for your money —in major
adjustments, tune-ups, lubrication or
anything your car needs—when you
make sure it gets Buick car care.
