The Union High School PTA
met in the school gymnasium on
Thursday night, October 19, at
7:30. The attendance was fair.
After the devotional exercise, the
group enjoyed a wonderful discus
sion of the contents that make up
the “Quality Education” program
advocated by the Governor of
North Carolina, Mr. Terry San
ford.
The program was as follows:
“Goals of Guidance” Miss Pris
cilla Foggy. This topic was en
joyed and the points well taken.
*A Child’s View of Learning” was
examined by Miss Joan A. Gore.
Many important points were
stressed from this topic. Mr. Free
man Gause explained "Pupil-par
ent-Teacher-Relationship.” From
this topic he stressed the import
ance of thorough understanding
among the three to aid good
teaching. Mrs. Katie T. Turner
read and explained the PTA
theme of 1962. Mrs. Lenora Gore
presented to the group an enjoy
able reading "The Ninety-Nine”.
This left the parents and teachers
wondering ,if we were guilty of
leaving the one undone. Miss Vir
ginia McMillian read the “Objec
tives of the National PTA.”
The business part of the meet
ing featured reports of the va
rious committees. Among these
reports Mr. Clifford Vereen re
ported the progress that was be
ing made on the school’s lunch
room. The president, Mr. John H.
Johnson, praised the teachers for
the extra effort put forth to help
the boys and girls at Union. He
also stated that in order to as
sure the coming generation of a
better future, they must be edu
cated; because their future de
pended on Quality Education.
Remarks from Principal J. Han
kins, were next in order. He
stressed the idea of high and low
sense of values in regard to in
vestments in student’s future edu
cation. He encouraged the group
to set high standards and put
higher values on those things that
are so essential to the future citi
zens of America. He also invited
the parents to the chapel pro
gram on Thursday and encourag
ed them to keep their children in
school.
Refreshments were enjoyed in
the Home Economic Department,
served by the Home Economic
Instructor, Mrs. E. Sowells. The
meeting adjourned until Novem
i ber.
This branch of medicine and surgery deals with
the management of pregnancy, labor and its after
treatment. It includes correction of any complica
tions occurring at any stage of that period.
Childbirth today is so perfected, that it offers
future mothers the opportunity for a safe, mem
orable vacation, if a physician is consulted at the be
ginning of pregnancy and his advice followed ex
actly.

The members of the eighth
grade class presented a puppet
show Thursday, October 19, in
the Union High gym, based on
the health units they have studied
previously on emotions, personali
ty, and personal appearance. Each
character made his own puppets,
prepared his part, and made the
show very interesting. Also sev
eral science experiments were
demonstrated on atmospheric
pressure by the class.
Mrs. C. H. Marlow is instruc
tor.

Two weeks ago I discussed a
few of the better muscadine grape
varieties and gave planting in
structions to assure pollination
and fruit setting. This week we
will begin with the bunch grapes.
In order of ripening, these va
rieties are good: Portland i\V);
Delaware (R); Fredonia (B);
Niagara (W); Sheridan (B); and
Catawba (R>. The letter after
each name indicates the color.
There are many other good va
rities. These require annual prun
ing, and spraying for protection
against insects and diseases, espe
cially black rot.
How about strawberries? For
Eastern Carolina, Albritton, Dixie
land and Massey. For the Pied
mont, same as for Eastern Caro
lina. In the mountains, Tennessee
Beauty is giving good results. If
you want to try some other va
rieties, plant Midland and Cat
skill. Everbearing kinds for the
mountains are Red Rich and
Superfection.
Strawberry plants are in good
supply now and can be planted
any time in Eastern North Caro
lina that weather and soil con
ditions are suitable. Better wait
until spring- in the mountains.
Blueberries require acid soils, a
pH of about 4.5. Angola. Wolcott.
Murphy and Schammell are best
suited for Eastern North Carolina
because they have shown some
resistance to canker. In the moun
tains, Weymouth, Earliblue, Berk
ley and Atlantic are good. Of the
Rabbiteye type, Clara, Coastal
and Tifblue are good.
The Rabbiteye type is probably
better for the average home gar
den because it seems to be more
tolerant as far as soil conditions
are concerned. It also can be used
around the home as a dual pur
pose plant. The berries can be
harvested and the plant has orna
mental value when not in fruit.
Of the peach varieties, Dixired,
Redhaven, Southland. Belle of
Georgia and Elberta are good. '
Erly-Red-Fre is a good early va
riety with white flesh.
Strange Case
Continued From Page One
Scott died badly, as they say.
Died fighting those who marched
him to the gallows—set up in
the old brick jailhouse in Wil
mington—screaming and begging
for the mercy he had not shown
five men at sea off Southport a
year earlier.
Originally the body was sche-;
duled for burial in a Negro ceme- j
tery at Wilmington, but the
decent colored citizens of that
town howled the idea down. |
Scott’s unhonored corpse wound
up under dissection knives at the
University of North Carolina's
medical school.
And the other defendants?
President Theodore Roosevelt is
sued an order commuting Saw
yer and Adams’ sentences to
life imprisonment. Several years j
later President William Howard
Taft granted both full pardons.
Thus ended one of the
most sensational cases of
mutiny and murder recorded
in IT. S. waters In the Twen
tieth Century. When men died
senselessly and blamelessly
under the Carolina moon off
Southport and the world won
dered anew at man’s no
torious inhumanity to man.
An unbiased appraisal of the
conflicting stories told by the
three survivors cannot but raise
grave doubt. Both Scott’s words
and those of the other two crew
members have holes in them.
What really happened off South
port on a fall night 56 years ago
probably never will be known.
Were all three lying in an at
tempt to save their skins? The
ship was empty on its fatal voy
age. What then, could be gained
by mutiny and seizure? Was
Scott truly the demon madman
the records place him, or was it
a falling out among confederates
in-crime? Did the trio conspire
to seize the ship and sail her to
some distant part of the world,
repaint and refit her and engage
in some nefarious trade?
Only • the sea knows, and the
sea guards its secrets well.

pears to bo a third possibility,
that of having the island made a
part of the National Parks Sys

And with any of these prospects
Bald Head Island, one of na

deared it to Capt. Loughlin and
to scores of others like him.
