THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1936 So They The Resettlement Adminis tration estimates there are a v,rmt fisn.nno farms, embrac ing 100,000,000 acres, on which families are now trying to make a living, aitnougn ine quality of the land is such that crop farming cannot be expect ed to succeed. These lands should, either by private own ers or government assistance, be converted to forestry, graz ing, wild-life conservation, rec reation and other non-farming uses. A Better Living The purpose of the Resettle ment Administration, states a bulletin of that agency, . is to help people who live and work on the land to achieve a bet ter living. The organization, established by President Roose velt in April 1935, has three major duties to help distress ed fanners with loans, to car ry out projects for the better use of land, and to help fami lies resettle on better farms and in better home's. They Are Meeting To Study Shad A committee composed of J. L. Home Jr., Rocky Mount, Col. James L McNair and oth ers appointed by the depart ment of Conservation and De velopment are meeting in More head City today to make a study of the shad situation. Time was when the shad was the money-making fish o f North Carolina's coast But there has been a steady de crease in the catch from year to year because of the scar city. Just what has caused this scarcity is the question which the committee hopes to solve, naturally looking to wards ways and means for in creased numbers of the fish . . If we might be permitted to say so our guess offhand is that in the old days shad-roe and bacon appeared too often on the menu of those who could afford the delicacy. Shad roe is a delicacy no doubt about it But if the shad roe in days of old were placed in hatcheries instead of kitchens the story today might be dif ferent. We hope the commit tee finds that we are wrong. They Selected An Ideal Site Treasury's Procurement Di vision selected an ideal loca tion for the construction of the new post office and Federal building Selection of the Dun can property will meet with the approval of the majority of citizens here Because it is on the waterfront. Beaufort owes her very existence to her waterfront. Had it not been for the nearby navigable wa ters Beaufort might still be a wilderness. With the final construction of the new building Beaufort will be a town with the distinc tion of being one among few which has her Federal build ing facing the ocean. We are fortunate to secure the build ing, and we deserved it after .waiting since 1722. But we are also fortunate because of the beautiful location selected of any Beaufort entrance and the ocean beyond. Those Who Don't Know Shrimp Demand Eewhuker ed Huskies The lowly shrimp is giving big trouble in North Carolina waters. Its market hrin era nrif. es insufficient to cover the cost 01 catching and shipping. Some thing must be done, and that quickly, if an important sea food crop is to be saved. There are a number of expedients suggested, including canner ies. But one reason given for the present difficulty of the shrimpers does not make sense to any one who knows what a shrimp can mean as an edible. For it appears that this year's catch of the colorless crustacean that, like the lob ster, becomes a rich pink with boiling is running in small sizes. The market, one gath ers, desires portly shrimp with over-length whiskers. The small shrimp are at a disad vantage. The price they com mand is discouraging low. Which, to those who know their shrimp, is utter folly. Size does not enhance the de sirability or flavor of the pro duct. The smaller the shrimp, the better it is. But those who buy, as always, make the de termining factor in demand The average shrimp eater wants quantity rather than quality, and the customer must be served, no matter what his folly. (Raleigh Times) Press (gleanings A CLERICAL RACKETEER The Rev. Father Chas. E. Cough lin, Detroit's loud mouthed radio priest, is a pain in the neck. One of his latest capers is to place a bet of $25,000 with a Providence, R. I. business man, that William Lemke, the union party candidate, will poll more votes in Rhode Island than the Republican Alf Landon. If such cam paign betting by an active priest has the blessings of the Holy Eee, then I must revise my estimate of the character of the head of the Roman Catholic church, formed when I was privileged to see and study his be nign and intelligent countenance while in Rome a few years ago. Coughlin's bet betrays the cheap racketeer underneath his priestly garb. His Providence bet was the more represensible because he plac ed it with a string tied to it, mak ing the bet conditional upon his fol lowers in Providence raising the stake. Our election laws disqualify any person from voting who places a bet on the election in question. Father Coughlin would therefore invite the disfranchisement of every voter in Providence who would contribute to his bet. And this mountebank in cleric's garb boasts of his good Americanism! (Elizabeth City Independent.) PORT'S POINTS A good many North Carolinians, like a good many other people, have single-track minds and when they are enthusiastic about one thing they are merely single-minded in en thusiasm and by no means intent upon reflecting upon a similar thing. So when North Carolinians speak in high hope of the port possibilities at Morehead, there is not intent to treat Wilmington as a stepchild. And yet, perhaps, Wilmington has proper com plaint. If so, certainly, it has an ef feclivtf complainer. The Wilmington Star is stirred into words by forgetfulness of Wil mington in a recent article in an other North Carolina paper. It points out: 1. There are at Wilmington ware house facilities of 452,000 square feet of space, capable of accomo dating eleven ocean steamers and 163 cars at any moment. 2. In the matter of rates, on canned goods for example, the rate from Charleston to interior points in North Carolina is 29 cents per 100 pounds. From Norfolk it is 22.4 cents, and from Wilmington 15.3 cents. Similar differentials exist on other commodities which pass thru the port of Wilmington. 3. Wilmington is served by two railroad systems that reach out into every section of North Carolina. These are facts interesting to more North Carolinians than Wilmington ians. They concern all the people of this State who are interested in the development of water transportation facilities and freight rates from wa ter to the interior for the whole State. ( BOOSTING THE PORT lit T . 1 . r.very worm Carolinian" says the Daily Times at Wilson, "should work for the port at Morehead City" That paper finds in the recent items concerning the stockholders' moot. ing of the Atlantic and North Caro. una railroad, news matter of far reaching importance to the onle and shippers of the state. And the paper continues: "At Morehead City has been built a port with ample docking and turn ing facilities for the largest ocean going steamships; with a depth of water across the bar and at th terminal of from thirtv-five to for. ty feet, which is the same depth as tfle ports at Norfolk and Baltimore and, we believe. New York." "Mr. Crowell,' the Wilson paper continues in speaking of H. P. Crow- eu wno has been general manager of the road since its independent opera tion was begun and who has just been advanced to the post of presi dent, "is an expert railroad man w is not a politician and he is guppos- ea to be identified solely with the in terests of the state with the sole ob ject of increasing the volume of its business, to make the A. and N. C. railroad pay and to build the bus iness of the port for the benefit of the state, and thus do away with the rank discrimination that has been practiced against the state of North Carolina by the Virginia cities and the railroads operating north and south and east and west through this state. "The shippers of North Carolina have at their command railroad and truck lines to bring freight to and from Morehead City, brought there by incoming vessels, and if they can not get the freight rate to which they are entitled for distribution of commerce in this state from the railroads connecting at Goldsboro, they can use trucks and the state can make contracts with truck lines to handle it to its destination from Goldsboro or Morehead and vice ver sa."

WAYNICK KEEPS UP BATTLE FOR BRIDGE NORTH CAROLINA'S LOSS A success vinter who converts a 25-acre vineyard into wine should receive a gross income of $10,000 to $20,000 a year, according to Col. Paul Garrett, of Garrett & Co., who is probably the best authority on viticulture in America. Garrett & Co., are back in the south again, after having been driv en first from North Carolina to Vir ginia by probition laws, and then from Virginia to New York when : Virginia enacted a prohibition law j in 1915. Just last week Cok Garrett i acquired a large fa;toiy building in j Atlanta, where Garrett & o., ex pect to produce several million gal lons of light wines annually as soon as Georgia can furnish sufficient grapes. Col. Garrett estimates that there are 2,000,000 acres of land now lying vacant in Georgia, ready for the production of grapes. What is North Carolina doing to regain its former prominence as a grape growing state? The answer seems to be nothing. And yet it was in North Carolina, more than a hun dred years ago that Garrett & Co,, America's pioneer vineyards were established. They were driven out of the State in 1902 when our delights ful light wines were classed as hard liquor and odious beer, under a pro hibition law that sought to throw out all alcoholic beverages at once North Carolina is the native home of the famous scuppernong grape, from which the most popular table wine in America is made. There are millions of acres of thin soils in North Carolina on which the scup pernong will thrive. Our peach or chards have a life of ten or o doz en years; there are records of scup pernong grape vineyards producing profitably for 350 years. Again this newspaper urges the North Carolina landowners to con sider scuppernong grapes. It is probable that the national revulsion to hard liquor will again drive the distiller of hard liquor out of bus iness; but in the light of past exper ience and a dawning light on the val ue of light wines in the human diet ary, our light wines are likely to be j spared in the next Dry victory. Scuppernong grapes and slish pine are two hardy farm crops that no landowner can afford to ignore. (The Elizabeth City Independent.) Raleigh, Aug. 18 Capus M. Way nick, chairman of the state highway and pi blic works commission, said today the war department would be asked to straighten the inland water way at the proposed site for a bridge from Camden to Currituck county. The war department yesterday denied a peition of the highway de partment to build the bridge, which would cross the waterway at a bend, from near Bray's coiner to near Bertha. Reasons given for the refusal were that the 80-foot span specified in tentative plans was not long enough and that there would not bea 1,500 foot straight-away for boats ap proaching the bridge. Relocation of the suggested "site would cost the state approximately $60,000 Waynick said. Although straightening the waterway would cost the war department $85,000, the elimination of the bend would be advantageous to shipping, he added. Waynick said he had written Rep resentative Lindsay Warren, of Washington, N. C, asking the con gressman to use his influence to have the waterway straightened. PLAN LIQUOR HEARINGS. Raleigh, Aug. 18 Representative Victor Bryant, of Durham, chairman of the commission studying the liq uor situation in North Carolina, said tniau tho KArnnH hearing of the group would be held ir. Wilson Aug ust 28. The first and third hearings already had been scheduled for Ral eigh on the 2th and Wilmington on the 29th.

FORMER CARTERET RESIDENT DIES IN WILMINGTON AYCOCK LEADS THE WAY Aycock Brown, editor of the Beaufort News, has s great adver tising scheme for Aycock Brown. He has his name printed on his personal envelopes in 36 point type. To the unitiated the size type has little meaning, but when we tell you it is nearly five times as large as you are reading maybe you'll un derstand what we mean. If all merchants in Morehead City and Beaufort would do as Brown is doing they ought to be able to realize at least $100,000 worth of free publicity for their towns each year. Mrs. A. E. Roberts, about 40, sis ter of Mrs. Sadie Dixon of this city, died Tuesday afternoon at a Wil mington hospital where she had un dergone an operation. She had been in ill health for some time but was taken critically ill while on an an nual visit to her home at Gloucester, Carteret county. Funeral services will be held to morrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. Mrs. Roberts, the former Miss Ella Willis, had been living in Akron, O., since her marriage, although every August she visited at home. She is survived by her husband, and one son Don; her mother, Mrs. Ella Willis of Gloucester who spends the winter with Mrs. Dixon of this city, Mrs. C. D.
