METHODISTS LOOK TO FUTURE ON 165th- BffiTHDAY Announcement Made Of $3,200 Pledged For Church Repairs HUMBER CRUSADE STEAMERED BY HERALD-TRIBUNE World Federation Launched Here Gains Momentum HELICOPTER. TO GO INT01QUANTITY. PRODUCTION Last Sunday Ann Street Methodist Church fittingly celebrated the founding of their Church 165 years ago at all the services of the day. At the eleven o'clock service, the pastor, the Rev. W. Stan ley Potter gave the anniver sary sermon on "The Church of Christ Alive Today." At the evening service, Mr. M. Leslie Davis, give an extrem ely interesting talk on old -Beaufort and the early days of the church here. Special music by both the adult and Sunshine Choirs added to the beauty of the occasion. Since the beginning of July lo cal Methodists have been under ' taking to raise $4,000 with which to repair their church home. It seemed that on a day set apart to remember those who have carried on the work on the church in the past, it was fitting that the Chair man of he Building Committee should announce that $3,200 of that amount has already been ac tually given or pledged so that the work of the church which has carried on through so many years will continue to go forward. Three years ago next De cember, six months after the fall of France, Robert Lee Humber called a group ot Carteret County friends to his Davis Island home and there in the open beneath the live oaks presented a plan for a post war "Federa tion of the World." Since then he has given his whole life to educating the people of the United States to this thought and has done it with the singleness of purpose of one inspired. Recently the same isseu of the New York Herald Tribune that carried a condensation of Wilkie's "One World," carried the story of Humber's campaign under a streamer, "The World Ahead: Humber's World Federation Idea Has Stirred State Legislatures." Thirteen states of these United States have aready taken some kind of affirmative action in sup port of Humber's Federation of the World and four of these states: North Carolina, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Alabama, passed word for word the resolution that Hum ber read to his friends two days after that Christmas of 1940. Humber is pleased when a Leg islature adopts his resolution but the important thing to him is ad option of a resolution providing endorsement of the principle of world federation without equivo cation. If he gets this, the author ship of the resolution is second ary. After Humber read his resolu tion at Davis Island: . '. . . "Man, th'-i source of all political authority, is a maniroia political being. He is a citizen of several communities the city, the state, the nation, and the world" , Judge Luther Ham ilton, of Morehead City stood up, moved for the adoption of the res olution, saying that he felt that he was present at one of the great moments of history." All of the thirl -nine present on that occa sion as they follow the progress of Humber's campaign must think back often to Judge Hamilton's words spoken with prophetic insight. . . -v.. .. .? v.

To Tobacco Farmers Saturday of this week every to bacco farmer of Carteret County is being asked to go to their near est polling place and vote either for or against the tobacco referen dum. During the year 1939 when to bacco was not under control, North Carolina farmers lost 10 "h of their tobacco acreage due to the increased acreage grown in other Southern tobacco producing states After this tobacco was grown by these new tobacco farmers allot ments had to be established and that meant that we lost he 10 menioned above in North Carolina. If tobacco quotas are not in ef fect in 1944 the same thing will probably happen in 1944 that took place in 1939. From the best infor mation that can be obtained it looks now as though North Caro lina will have to largely support the referendum. The other tobac co producing states who have o small acreage would like to do the same thing they did in 1939. The question for our tobacco farmers to answer is whether we want to keep our 65 of the total flue cured tobacco acreage now being grown and get a fair price for our tobacco or whether we want to let the bars down.. Before casting your vote Satur day I woud like for you to consid er the following prices that our farmers received for their tobac co since there was a control plac ed on acreage production. The price of tobacco ran from 8.4 cents per pound in 1931 to 27.3 cents per pound the first year con trol went into effect Quotas were rejected in 1939 and the price av eraged that year 14.9 cents per pound as compared to 22.2 cents average in 1938 and 23 cents per pound in 1937. The last referendum held plac ed quotas in effect for three years and prices have advanced each year. The 1941 crop sold for 28.1 cents per pound and the last year's crop sold for an average of 38.4 cents per pound, which was the See FARMERS Page 10 William Arthur Lenox, Avia tion Machinist Mate 1st CI.

Citizen's Corps To Sell War Bonds On Mollie Pitcher Day ATLANTIC BEACH PULLS CROWDS IN SPITE OF GAS SHORTAGE Week-ends Bring Together Men and Women from Every State in Union NOTICE ' To Our SUBSCRIBERS A specnial War Stamp and Bond Drive is scheduled for Mollie Pitch er Day, Saturday, August 7th, by members of the Citizens Service Corps. Mrs. J. G. Allen, Chairman, outlined plans in brief at a meet ing of the Corps at St. Paul's Par ish House on Monday of this week. These tentative plans call for a house to house visitation by Zone Chairmen with other organizations of the town lined up to work the down town section. Atlantic Beach at our very door is proving a godsend to Beaufort people, strang ers who want to relax over the week-end, and Service Men from all over the Coun ty. Soaring temperatures give promise of another rec ord week-end there, and folks will find ways and means of getting over to en joy the breezes, the surf and the Saturday night dance at the Beach Casino with Sam mie Guthrie and his orches tra. Fewer cars may be parked a- round the circle than in other years, but as someone has said, "you should see how many each of those cars bring." Gillikin's bus es operating hourly between Morehead and the Beach have also done much to solve the transpor tation problem. They come in packed on Wednesday afternoons and all day Saturdays and Sun days. Over the week-ends when service men and their ladies and wives are over it is safe to venture that the crowds along the beach represent every state in the Union.

The camp was filled to capacity with approximately 130 farm lab orers. During the time that the workers were in the county they served thirty-two farmers in the trucking area in harvesting Irish potatoes, tomatoes, snap 'joaiv.s and the setting of sweet potatoes The distribution of he fa:m h'w n about over the county was greatly assisted by the . coopera tion of leaders that follow these laborers all the way up the eateiT shore. The farmers of the county u. used this labor feel that it was c.r tremendous value to them i:i the harvesting of their crops. A num ber of them expressed the idea that they do know what they woul i have done tnis year if it had r.ot been for this labor. In a number of the potato pro ducing counties there is quite an acreage of potatoes that will not be dug due to the fact that the labor was not available to dig them. The migratory labor that was in thees areas moved up to other sec tions in order to fill their contracts. K. Wr. Wright who bought the Snowden farm ten days ago haa been cultivating potatoes there or" untfr.inj? nut. qruno whole farm are uncertain except that he intends to farm it person ally as it is closer both to town and to his farm than his other properties. There is a possibility of putting part of the acreage into broccoli" which he has grown suc cessfully on his other place. With the purchase of Mrs Snow- den's land, the Wrights bought from her all equipment, tools, ev erything on the place pertaining to farm operation and all live stock except the hogs. The Wrights came here sixteen years ago from Norfolk County, Virginia. They began by farming the property now farmed by F. M. Jones and have increased their ac reage until they have become a mong the leading farmers of tho County.
