Hi! How was your report card
or should we ruin the whole Pir
ate Log by asking that ?
First let us tell you about
something, well, shall we say
more popular. Naturally its bas
ketball! Monday night the Shal
otte boys and girls took over
both Waccamaw teams. The score
for the girls was 33 to 20 while
the boys took a 58 to 19 victory.
There were quite a number of
Block “S” meetings this week.
The new members were initiated.
The boys wore their coats and
shirts backwards while the girls
wore their skirts, blouses and coats
backwards. There were ribbons in
-he boys’ hair, the girls wore pig
tails, everyone wore different
socks, and each new member had
a bag of candy to give the old
members. This may seem, bad but
listen to this: The new member's
carried a pillow to kneel on when
they met the old members during
the initiation. They had to say
“I'raise the Block ‘S’ club” three
time and do everything (in rea
son) that the old members ask
ed them to do. These things in
cluded carrying trays in the cafe
ter a, carrying books to classes
finc anything the new members
disliked to do. The initiation was
Thursday and Friday.
The annual staff has been busy
this week trying to get the anual
in on time.
Wednesday a very enjoyable
talk was made by Rev. Carrol,
Methodist minister.
Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day school turned out early be
cause there was no heat. At first
the juniors and seniors thought
they were lucftcy to get the new
rooms but now they think they
are unlucky. Neither of the rooms
have heat and classes are held in
the auditorium. Progress is being
made, though. This week radiators
have been put up and we sure
'hope they are working soon.
Thursday night both basketball
teams went t§ Bolivia for two ex
citing games.' The Shallotte girls
won by a score of 33 to 29. High
scorers were Amelia Kirby for the
winning team and Sylvia Leonard
for the losers. The Bolivia Iroys
won by a 41 to 20 margin with
mgh scorers being Linsay Walton
for the Bears and Billy Gray for
the Pirates.

Irish Potatoes
For Lunchrooms
; Free Spuds Available For
Use by School Lunchrooms
As Result Of Price Sup
port Operations
Irish potatoes, acquired by the
j U. S. Department of Agriculture
| in the course of its supporting
j operations, are available for dis
: tribution to North Carolina's
school lunchrooms, both public and
j private welfare agencies, and
j state or private elempsynary in
| stitutions, it was announced here
today.
G. T. Scott, State Chairman of
UNDA's Production and Market
ing Administration Committee,
said the potatoes—from the 1949
crop, produced in and now local
j ed in Maine and Pennsylvania—
are being made available under
porvisions of the Agricultural Act
of 1949.
Agencies and institutions re
ceiving the potatoes, he said,
must agree (1) not to reduce
I their normal expenditures for
food, (2) to use the potatoes for
food purposes only, and (3) not to
sell or trade them. In addition,
they must accept delivery at the
point of storage, and pay trans
portation costs.
“Potatoes,” Mr. Scott said, “are
the first commodity declared
available for distribution under
provisions of the new legislation.
There is nothing new in the fact
that we have surplus potatoes.
This problem has been with us
constantly in recent years. Pot
ato production was increased
sharply to meet wartime needs,
and we have had to handle vary
ing degrees of surpluses ever since
that special demand began to fall
off.
“We have been distributing our
surplus potato stocks heretofore
to school lunch programs, chari
table institutions, and oth§r eligi
ble outlets, and have been paying
the freight to destination points.
This distribution has in the past
been financed with what We call
Section 32 funds—the 30 percent
of annual customers receipts made
available for developing new uses
and outlets for surplus commo
dities. Because the Agricultural
Act of 1949 requires that Section
32 funds shall be devoted prin
cipally to perishable commodities
i for which price support is not
I manatory, it will no longer he
| possible to make such distribution
j on a paid-freight basis.”
j Mr. Scott said the act pro
! vides that USDA may offer to
the outlets listed certain food
commodities—-acquired through
price support—for which there is
no potential outlet through nor
mal channels of trade during their
storable life.
Mr. Scott said local welfare
agencies should direct requests for
potatoes to their own state wel
fare agency. Actual distribution
for the state, he said, will be
handled by Mr. Jay P. Dai vs of
the North Carolina State Depart
ment of Agriculture.
CATHOLIC INFORMATION
Why Do They Pick On Mary ?
If she had been a hussy, like
Jezabel, or a courtesan, like Cleo
patra, or a shrewd, scheming old
maid, like Queen Elizabeth—if she
had been a ruthless tyrant like
Catherine of Russia—or just a
plain gun-moll such as we used to
read about during the twenties—
then we might understand why
people should speak so unkindly
of her. But what did poor Mary
do?—unless talking with an
archangel is criminal and being
Mother to the Son of God is an
outrage! After all, that’s her only
claim to a place in history, the
fact that she said Yes to the
Blessed Trinity and gave her
body to the Lord as His palace
where He should clothe Himself
in mortal flesh and vest Himself
for our redemption.
And because of that, she has
been the object of more criticism,
more vilification and scolding,
during the past 400 years, than
any woman in history. It’S
strange, isn’t it?
If you’ll take your Bible and
look at the First Chapter of St.
Luke’s Gospel, you’ll find that it
was God Himself who first hon
ored Mary, by sending an arch
angel down to her house in
Nazareth.
“Hail, full of grace”, said
Gabriel, “the Lord is with thee:
Blessed art thou among women.
. . . Fear not, Mary, for thou hast
found grace with God” (Luke
1:28).
(How we wish we could have
an archangel talk that way to
us!)
And then, when Mary called on
her cousin, Elizabeth said: "Bless
ed art thou among women and
blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
And whence is this to me, that
the Mother of my Lord should
come to me?” (Luke 1:42-43).
Was Jesus God ? Of cour se! . . .
and Mary was His Mother. Then
she must be the Mother of God.
Not that she lived before the
world was made, but simply that
she was the Mother ot Jesus, and
He was God.
That certainly doesn’t make her
God. No! And Catholics have
never adored Mary; but Catholics
love her because Jesus loved her.
Wouldn’t a man be queer, now, if
he didn’t love his own Mother?
Christ is our example in every
thing:. He spent 30 years of His
life with her. She saw many of
His miracles, including the very
first (which He performed at her
request). She was on Calvary
when He died. She was with the
apostles when the Holy Spirit
came on Pentecost.
What do you think of the
Mother of Jesus? Is she to be
honored, ignored, or dishonored ?
How do you think Jesus would
want you to treat her?
