The donors in the proposed drive should bear this in mind when the canvassers come around. Even if a person never reads a book, a person may have children who will enjoy the facili ties offered at the playground or the facilities offered everyone in the recreation division of the building. The County Library was pur chased by the Town of Beaufort for its present purpose. The Wo man's Club co-sponsoring with the Town secured the WPA project for renovating the building. The sponsor's share was materials, es pecially the share of the Woman's Club and before the project was completed there was a deficit of $200 although several hundred dollars for buying materials had been furnished by them during re construction of the property. It is this $200 debt balance which they hope to wipe out and if the people of Beaufort, not just a few ' but everyone, cannot raise that I Jefferson Standard's $1,000,000 Salesman , iv i W. L. Brooks, Charlotte, North Carolina, a veteran in the service of the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company, sold life insur ance totaling $1,008,000, during 1940. As a result of this very unusual sales record, Mr. Brooks places himself at the head of the list of the Company's producing agents, and ranks with the top producers of life insurance in tri3 United States. Starting as an office boy in the Home Office of the Company in Greensboro thirty years ago, Mr. Brooks has had a very successful life insurance career, both as a salesman and as a developer of other men who enter the life insurance business. At the present time he lives in Charlotte, North Carolina and is Manager of the Company's Branch office in that city. In thea bsence of Mrs. I . N.

With swine diseases appearing much earlier than usual this year in Bertie County, some farmers are experiencing heavy losses, re ports R. D. Smith, assistant farm agent. Washington, Jan. 21. A ten fold expansion of the American crabmeat industry is in prospect in event an appeal of the Ameri can Crab Packers Committee for increased import duties upon Jap anese ccanned crabmeat is accord ed favorable action by the U. S. Tariff Commission. Sterling G. Harris, Beaufort, S. C, packer and committee chairman, declared here today. Mr. Harris, prominent in per fecting or recently developed methods for canning the meat of species of crab caught along At lantic and Gulf shores, led a parade of interested domestic producers who appeared at a two-day hear ing to impress upon the Tariff Commission that "seafood is a necessary and important part of our food supply in an emergency when we cannot depend upon our I competitor, Japan". North Carolina Representatives Graham A. Harden, of New Bern, and Herbert C. Bonner, of Wash ington, were included in the, sever al senators and congressmen who appeared at the hearing in support of the committee's appeal for the tariff increase. "As a member of the House L-t-bor Committee for the past few years," Representative Barden said: "I know we have had con siderable discussion over the ef fects of outside on our domestic in dustries, especially when outside produce was brought about by cheap labor, uncontrolled. Representative Bonner called attention to the situation at Bel haven, in his district, where he aid "recently, on account of com petition, the WPA had to take a Teat many of these peoi le who ,vere employed in the crab 'nd fish ndustries on their rolls." Both Tarheel State Congress men asked the commission to ac cord to the American crab pack ing industry the relief requested in a raise in tariff from fifteen per cent to twenty-two and one-halT per cent of declared value of im ported canned crabmeat. Evidence of alleged unfair com petition included a charge by bio chemical experts that king crab meat produced by Japanese can neries and sold in America is known to contain arsenic of one point less than the "tolerance lev el", or limit of the drug allowed under regulations of the Federrl Food and Drugs Administration. Dr. Carl R. Fellers, of the Mas sachusetts State College Depart ment of Chemistry, testified be fore the Tariff Commission that the imported Japanese product analyzed by him contained a total of .024 grains of arsenic per pound, while the "tolerance level" for foods set by the Food and Drug Administration is .025. Of three American specimens of crab pro ducts analyzed, he found the high est arsenic content to be eight points below the "tolerance level," Dr. Fellers declared. An interesting argument over nativity of the giant king crab marked the proceedings, with im porters claiming it to be a "Japa nese sea monster" and American contending it "is as much Ameri can as Japanese." The position of the Crab Packers Committee was fortified by Dr. Waldo Schmitt, cu rator of the Smithonian Institute Museum. In answer to the argu ment of F. S. Riotte, of New York, chief counsel for the Japanese, that the technical name for th-; king crab is "Paralithodes Camts- l chaticus," indicating oriental na- SPORT LUES By J. W. STEWART By J. W. STEWART Colds and flu have cut heavily in some of the teams and thus v'ery little playing has taken place an 1 what games have been played, have been played with the teams minus some of their most valuable play ers. Two games have been played since the last publication of this column, these games being be tween Newport and Atlantic and Newport and Harkers Island. New port girls won both of their games. In the game with Atlantic the final scoie was Newport 211, Atlantic 2o but this score does not U 11 the story of the game. Atlantic led throughout the game until the final two minutes. Then ly sohk turn of fate Newport scored eight points and found themselves win ners by a four point margin. In their game with Harkers Island there was little competition the final score being 51 to 5 in New port's favor. Newport boys with two regulars out found the going very rough with Atlantic and found themselves on the losing end of a 14 to 11 score at the final whistle. In their game Tuesday night with Harkers Island they found no cedar bird as Harkers Is land led on several occasions. The boys from the Island made an ex cellent showing and received the praise and comment from the pat rons of Newport. Final score New port 30, Harkers Island 17. Harkers Island's Basketball teams are receiving praise from the various sections of the county that they have played i.gainst. Your colunmist has heard these words of praise, and also there has been heard some words of dis couragement by patrons of Hark ers Island. The patrons of the oth er schools have far greater hopes for the Harkers Island teams than the home patrons of the team, and these should be the ones who should be expressing words of en couragement. These patrons should consider (1) that Harkers Island has but few to draw its teams from, as there is but a small en rollment at he school (2) that it takes time for experience and a certain finesse to be acquired by a player in order to play topnotch basketball (3) that there must be hours instead of minutes of prac tice. All of the other schools who formerly had outdoor courts kno.v what this one thing alone means in having a first rate team.

THE FRIENDLY CHURCH WITH A WELCOME FOR YOU fear that in the split second of passing, the cfcain which holds them will break, are transformed into rough lumber an hour or two later and before night the planks are probably in the drying kiln at the Scarboro-Safrit plant. The drvine- kiln capacity, has been doubled since the present boom fot the lumber business began. IN" THE RAPID transformation from tree to plank and plank to ar my camp buildings, the longest de lay is the 4S to 60 hour period ne cessary to season the lumber in the dry kiln. The remainder of the operation is almost continuous. The name Safrit in North Carolina seems to mean lumber. Here in Beaufort K. W. Safrit and two of his sons, Leonard and Robert, man age the business. Anoth'-'r Scar-boio-Safrit Lumber Company is located at Mt. Gilead and three of R. W.'s brothers manage that out fit. Merlyn, another son of R. W. Safrit chose aviation as a career and he is now one of the transport pilots on the Braniff Airline ope rating between Texts and Chicago. One thing the Braniff manage ment may not know, should they decide to take on a lumber busi ness as a sideline, is that one of their pilots knows the business com pletely. Merlyn learned all about the business before taking on avi ation. So far I have not seen a Safrit or heard of one that was not in the lumbering business, and in it successfully. IT SEEMS TO me that the wa terways of the entire outer coast line, practically ignored (except at one or two places) since the begin ning of American Independence, should get some attention during this money spending era we are now passing through. If the Navy is really going to build up large squadrons of PT type boats (the "PT" stands for Patrol Torpedo), I believe it would be practical to provide sufficient depth (12 to 15 feet) in all the sounds and inlets along the entire coast for them to dart in and out of during maneuv ers, or during actual warfare. North Carolina's outer coast has been overlooked from a waterways development standpoint. With only one or two exceptions, it is im possibly even for the menhaden fleet to operate in and out of the many, many inlets between the in ner waters of the sound to outer waters of the ocean, along our State's outer coast-line from South Carolina to Virginia. CAPT. WILLIS of Ocracoke in town on Tuesday told me that Stonley Wahab of Baltimore was expected to arrive at the island this week. Wahab told me recently that he planned to sail from the island aboard his yacht "Wander, er" sometime during the late win ter for a cruise to Florida. He a. so told me that his plans to estab lish the small boat building plan: at Ocracoke which was givtn some publicity several wat'ks ago was held up temporarily because al! the skilled craftsmen on the island were now employed as caipenteu on the new Coast Guard station building. After the station is completed, the boat plant, which will manufacture skiffs for out boards and small inboard crafts will begin operation. THAT .REMINDS me. Wahab wrote me last week outlining his plans for the construction of a recreation center on the ocean beach at his Wahab Village devel opment. The new recreation cen ter, including dance pavilion, bath houses and other facilities will hp adjacent to the ocean's surf. Wa hab is seriously considering build ing the structure as a renlica of the old Clyde Line wooden s-teamer f loneer which went ashore on the beach at Ocracoke back in the depressions the people of the island 80s, during one of the greatest ever experienced. The Pioneer'? stranding was like a gift from God, because she was loaded with a gen eral cargo, everything from cann ed goods to pianos. The cargo was salvaged by the islanders and saved many from suffering during, a very bad depression. Too Late To Classify FOR RENT 3 ROOM APART- ment with bath. Electicaily Fur nished. Steam heat.
