CHIEF EXECUTIVE
New Bern Stopover Is Oc
casioned By Invitation At
White House Last
August
President Harry S. Truman, I
who will spend four more years
in the White House as the result i
cf his sweeping victory in Tues
day's general election, stopped off
in New Bern Sunday to worship
at First Baptist Church and was
greeted by some 25,000 North
Carolinians.
Rev. Tom Fryer, a native son
of Chadbourn and a close friend
of A. Elmo Powell, Jr., chairman
of the Columbus County Board
of Elections, had the honor of
delivering the sermon which was
heard by the Presidential party.
Fryer extended an invitation
last August for the President to
visit his church and was surpris
ed when he learned that Mr. Tru
man placed New Bern on his itin
erary. The President was en route
to Key West, Florida.
At the service yesterday, Fry
er spoke on the subject, "Facing
Our World Of Today."
The New Bern clergyman was
the son of Matt Fryer and was
graduated from Whiteville High
School. His mother taught in the
local schools. He was a star foot
ball player on the local Wolfpack.
He and Powell Spent three
years together in New York when
Fryer was studying at Columbia
University.

16-Quart Strawberry Crates To
Be Introduced On Marts In '49
Brunswick County strawberries
may go out next year in 16-quartj
:rates as well as the standard 24-J
juart size.
The privilege of using either
type was authorized last week
it a meeting of growers, buyers
ind manufacturers who discussed
ihe matter at considerable length.
Several buyers spoke in favor
jf the 16-quart crate with the
thought in mind that berries in
the smaller container probably
?vould reach Northern markets in
setter condition than in the 24
juart crate. It was also brought
sut that a number of smaller
grocery stores would possibly buy
the smaller number of quarts
whereas they might fear too big
i loss if they purchased the 24
quart size.
Joe Blont, president of the South
Carolina Farm Bureau and a lead
ing farmer of Horry County, ex
pressed himself in favor of the
change to the 16-quart crate on
the grounds that growers would
put better quality berries on the
market. The group agreed that
"quality sells the products."
Some of the manufacturers and
farmers pointed out that a large
number of 24-quart crates were
already on the farms and in view
of that fact, it was recommend
ed that both sizes be allowed on
the markets next year.
This will also give the growers
dealers and manufacturers an op
portunity to check the results be
fore making any definite change
over. The manufacturers promis
ed some 16-quart crates this sea
son but it is optional with the
grower as to whether they usr
the 16 or 24 size.
Pistol Used By
Turkey Hunter
Ted Page, Rural Letter Car
rier Of Acme-D?Ico Com
munities, Gets His Birds
With Small Weapon
BY JOSEPH S. HUFHAM
DELCO? Those who enjoy
good, true, interesting turkey
stories should get in touch with
Ted Page, rural letter carrier of
the Acme-Delco communities. Mr.
Page resides on a beautiful farm
about two miles north-east of
Acme, and surrounding his farm
he has hundreds of acres of the
best wild-turkey haunts, to be
sure. Only a short distance away
is Neil's Eddy, a Cape Fear river
landing, and then wide acres of
river lowlands.
Mr. Page told us this morning
one of his moet interesting hunt
ing experience. He was in the
lowlands, he said, and it was get-1
ting late over in the afternoon, j
nearly time for turkeys to go to
roost. This happened many years
ago, and then one could shoot a
turkey from the roost without
violating any game law. So there j
was nothing wrong in his looking
for a turkey at this late hour.
But he was getting pretty well
out of hope finding one on this
particular occasion, and was start
ing toward home, when suddenly
he saw a whole drove of turkeys
coming toward him. Cautiously
he stopped and waited, for they
were still too for away to shoot.
And as he watched he happened
to see another drove coming from
another direction.
Both droves headed up on a
little ridge about seventy-five
yards in front of Mr. Page, and
there they met. And what a
meeting! Mr. Page said that it I
was a regular convention, in1
which each one had plenty to |
s^y. Such yelping he had never!
heard in all his hunting career. ]
There was no fighting; just
plenty of yelping, with each tur
key apparently standing on toes
with heads lifted as high as pos
sible. This greeting kept up for|
two or three minutes. Then all
quited down and one drove went
east and the other went west.
They separated for a distant of
two or three hundred yards and
then began flying, one or two at
a time, up on their roosts.
A couple came too near Mr.
Page ,and were taken. The re
mainder lived to attend another
convention.
Mr. Page enjoys hunting with
a rifle, there seems to be more
sportsmanship in it, at least for
squirrel hunting. Because it tak
es a good eye and steady nerves
to bag much game with a rifle.
And one also gets the thrill of
having to be more cautious, while
stalking his prey.
On one afternoon hunt for tur
keys Mr. Page had his rifle a
long and presently he located a
drove of turkeys feeding along
the side of a small slue, that was
about as deep as an ordinary
ditch. Since this slue was dry Mr.
Page got in it and after much
painstaking, he drew near enough
for. a shot. ' 4
Picking of the leader of the!
drov6 at the first shot, he decided
to try for another, and then he
discovered that his rifle had jam
med. Turkeys, excited, were run
ning and flopping In all direct
ions. Some came so near Mr. Page
pulled a little .22- pistol from his
pocket and killed one with a shot
from it. Mr. Page also has the
distinction of having killed four
turkeys by- pistol fire, thus far.
