THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1944 12 PAGES THIS WEEK U.S.C.G TURNS HE "HATTERAS" BACK TO STATE I- - N. C. Patrol Boat Has Served Both Army and U. S. C. G. In Past Two Years The State owned patrol boat 'Hatteras" was returned to the Etate without any fanfare on Mon- day afternoon of this week at the HJ. S. C. G. Center at Lenoxville. !apt. John Nelson, Commissioner f Fisheries, describes the cere mony as " a run in tne rain." ne 4nd the Coast Guard representa tives ran to the boat to survey it land then ran back to their cars. According to Cant. Nelson, the State needs the boat but made no request for it. The Coast Guard is simply through with it for the time Being. iThe "Hatteras" is 75 feet long, 5 feet wide, was given to the State by the U. S. Bureau of Fish and Wild Life in June 1937, re conditioned by the State, new en gines installed, and was used to jatrol fishing waters in the inter est of enforcement of regulations. It was taken over by the U. S. f Army two years ago this April, then because the C. G. needed it, hhe Army aurned it back, and it f-was loaned to tne J. u. in jury 1942. Glenn Willis, the last Captain of the boat, is with the Army now stationed at Charleston, S. C. No permanent Captain will be named at present to take his place. Men already in the service will take the boat out as required.. The "John Nelson," the other State owned boat will remain in the service of the C. G. for the present. Two New Clubs Being Organized By Home Agent Miss Dorothy Banks, Home Dem onstration Agent for Carteret, spent Monday of this week at Ce dar Island in the interest of organ izing a Home Demonstration Club at Roe. The Club, active at one time, was discontinued some four or five years ago but will be reor ganized on May 22nd at 12:30 at Mrs. Dora Dale's and will meet each fourth Monday thereafter at the same time and place. The pro gram for the Club will be worked out with the members at the first meeting. A second new Club wil be organ ized at Lnkens next Tuesday ar rangements for which are being -made by Miss Grace Wilson, teach r in the school there. County Praised For Compliance With OPA Regulations A representative of the OPA from Raleigh has been in Carteret for the past two weeks checking to see how well the County as a whole is conforming with regulations. He states that he is returning to the Raleigh Office with the news that Carteret is complying in a commendable manner and even named other counties in defense areas in which he is getting less cooperation. This is not only a source of pride to the local Board but should be to everyone in the County. The Board enthusiastic to keep up the good work asks us to pass on the little quotaticn form bgt. Fred M. Barnett, Distinguished Service Cross Veteran of Attu: "On Attu it was teamwork that made it Dossible for us to defeat the Japs and it takes the same kind of teamwork on the home front to keep the armed farces supplied. Every low down chisler, who uses counterfeit gas coupons, or gets rationed food without us ing points, is making it just that much tougher on the whole armed forces-civilian team. The job the OPA Boards have done in holding prices down helps the service man because he knows that his wifa and kids aren't going to have to pay sky-high inflation prices for their food, -clothing, and rent.

CARTERET BOYS IN THE SERVICE The Scout Drive to raise $.".,000 for a permanent horn;; fir the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of Beau fort started some weeks ago, went a little way and stopped with but $1,000 raised toward the fcoal but it didn't stop because of dis couragement. It pulkd aside, as it were, out of courtesy to the Red Cross and Morgenthau. Results were, in fact, very promising foi the amount of effort put into it and made the committee feel that the comnimunity is wholeheartedly back of the movement. The Drive Committee met last Friday evening and again this week preparatory to pushing the matter through now as quickly as possible. Members hope to have the full a- mount in hand before the end of May. Mr. N. F.

BAPTIST RADIO HOUR Comdr. Ernest Davis, USN, and Lt. Comdr. Fred Morrison, USN, have both been assigned to sea udty but are at present in Philadel phia. Mrs. Davis, the former Mat tie King Hancock, and Mrs. Mor rison, the former Gertrude Han cock, are with them there. Station WPTF, Raleigh, is broad casting one of a series of thirteen transcribed messages of Dr. Geo. W. Truett, of Dallas, each Sun day morning at 8:30. S. F. Lowe, Chairman of the Radio Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention, states that Dr. Truett has been the leading Bap tist preacher of the world for a generation and is probably recog nized as the outstanding pulpit eer of our day. The raddish season is at its height. K. W. Wright, Carteret's Raddish King, says they began pulling them the 15th and will continue until approximately May 15th. He has only 21 acres in radishes this year compared with 50 last year due to labor problems 21 acres, however, represents a multitude of raddishes. . Hanging around the packing house on Lenoxville Road and the farm further out on the old New Bern Road this morning, we really learn ed about raddishes. "The largest shipment ever made in a day?" "Once we sent out a thousand bush el crates" he said. "In case you dont' know it, there are 72 bunch es of 15 raddishes each to the crate that makes 1,080,000 rad dishes handled in a dayl It's no wonder that it takes something like 45 colored women pulling in the field and 25 white boys working in the packing shed nor does it make Mr. Wright's pay roll of $1400 last week seem large, A lot has gone into a Wright raddish when the housewife buys it from her retailer in New xork, After the ground is prepared, the raddishes planted, cultivated, and grown, they are pulled, trucked to the packing house, unioaaea washed and cooled in three huge vats filled with ice water, packed in crates, loaded on Wright i three trucks which back right up into the shed, then started for wholesale markets in Baltimore Philadelphia, and New York. In 20 hours from the time they leave the shed, according to Mr. Wright they are on the New York market and when the war is over and our Airport used for commercial pur poses, he says with pleasant anti cipation written all over his face that they will be in New York the same night they are shipped. Mr. Wright came here 17 years ago from Virginia Hbut instead of sitting and pining for the "Home of Presidents" he loves his new home has even picked out a cor ner of his raddish patch in vhich he wants to be buried. He and Mrs. Wright have become leaders in the trucking industry in the Couiity. They have 165 acres in the home place, 52 more in the Snowden Farm, and by double find triple cul tivation have in essence much larger acreage. About the shortage of labor?" "Well, we have eight mules idle to day and last week sent seed back because we couldn't get help yet they say people are going to bs hungry. It's the samo with al. farmers." Mrs. Wright gave us a new angle on the matter. "The trouble is Easter came too early" "What does that have to do with it " "Help always holds up till after Easter. They buy their East er clothes, then don't need any more money." In another year Mr. Wright thinks farms may be using draft labor. On 15 acres of the Snowden Farm, men began cutting cabbag es today. Mr. Wright says R. H Barbour, Broker, Fuguay Springs, bought the entire acreage foi $4,000. The Wrights also grow snap beans, beets, potatoes and other truck crops. The Wrights have come by their profitable farm and modern home the hard way. He and Mrs. Wright frankly say it has meant long hours of work every day in the week. "No vacation?" "Haven't been hunting in 7 years and rather do that than anything in the world but farm." MR. HUMBER SPEAKER FOR B.H.S. FINALS Champion of World Federation to Be Heard Here Again We have thirty-four girls and ten boys in the 1944 Senior Class of the Beaufort High School.
