Phil lips, of Greensboro, Former Dis trict Governor of Rotary, spoke with a light and entertaining touch but dwelt with seriousness on the thought of the freedoms we enjoy pointing out the differ ences cetween us and Europe in that respect, and the emphasis placed on the individual in our country. He warned that freedoms can be overdone. The freedoms, h- says, that mean the most are the freedoms that we earn. Ladies night closed according to tradition with the singing of "Good Night Ladies."

(ICEA CANCELS INSTITUTE AT BLUE RIDGE Plans Changed On Advice From Health Department The North Carolina Education Association announces cancella tion of the Summer Institute scheduled to meet at Blue Ridge August 7-10. Several hundred school teachers and administrators were to have participated in a three day "work shop" on Educational problems, but the "Polio" situation makes necessary such action. Dr. Reynolds in definitely advis ing cancellation, stated, " To me it seems altogether unwise to have a gathering of school teachers from all sections of the State, when the "Polio" epidemic is not under control. Since many adults are carriers of the disease, the risk is entirely too great." "All plans and arrangements had been completed for the Institute, but a revised program will be placed in operation throughout the State at a future date."

Look at their faces and you will see that both mother and child realize that these Americans died for them. Remember this picture when you are asked to buy an extra War Bond during the Fifth War Loan. U. S. Treasury Ocpartintnt Local Firm To Build Ice Plant Addition in M. C. E. L. Davis and Company, Beau fort, has been awarded the con tract for the addition to the Car teret Ice Company, Morehead City, approved because of the ser ious ice shortage in Carteret this summer. Five contractors from Raleigh and Durham entered bids but the construction of the plant was a warded our local builder. The new addition wil cost $25,000 and is expected to be completed by Oc tober so as to be ready for the fall run of fish. Mr. Davis has reeeiv other contracts for buildings in Morehead City. His largest of re cent date have been the USO in D. C. Man Describes Work of Red Cross In Normandy Invasi'n What the American Red Cross is doing to help soldiers under fire was told in London recently by ARC Field Director Charles L. Skarren, Jr., of 4476 Reservoir road N. W., who made the trip from the Normandy invasion front to obtain more supplies. Mr. Skarren, who formerly prac ticed law, here and was secretary of Southeastern University, toluj how he had crossed the Channel in a tank carrier with the 9th Infan try. "The beaches were fairly free when we arrived," he said. 'We advanced into the back country as part of the force then cutting the Cherbourg Peninsula. With my jeep and trailer I carried supplies to make up for lost kits, such as toilet articles and cigarettes, gum. etc. On return trips I lent a hand at anything from carying our dead, to bags of mail. The roads were constantly being blown up ahead of us. Each trip was a nightmare." Narrow Escape. One narrow escape Mr. Skarren described was when a plane, hit by flak, was forced to jettison its bombs, which fell two fields away from him. Another time Mr. Skarren drove five miles into enemy territory looking for his unit. "Whether the Germans saw the "American Red Cross" on my jeep I cannot say, but I was not fired upon" he said. Food Plentiful Food was plentiful, with good supplies of meat and vegetables, he said. On his return trip to the CARTERET BOYS IN THE SERVICE Charles Manson is at Sheppard Army Air Field, Texas, for his ba sic training. Earl Dickinson, son of Mr and Mrs. Earl Dickinson, of Core Creek is home from the Pacific on his three and a half years. James Steed is having a course of training at the Naval 1 raining School, Jacksonville, Florida. FISH 'HAMBURG' BEING CANNED IN CARTERET Copeland Has Large War Food Contract 1341 and tne U.

Motorists Asked To Fight Drain of Gas Thru Black Market Black market gas does not come from some mysterious pool entire ly separated from the regular sup ply, says OPA, it comes trom tnat which was supposed to be divided in such a way that all would share. An estimated 15 per cent of all C coupons and 8 per cent of all P'j in circulation are counterfeit. It the drain of gas through illegal channels could be t-topped, every motorist in the U. S. coula have two more ballons a month A total of five per cent of the civilian sup ply of gas or 2,500,000 gallons is said to be distributed by black market racketeers daily. fPA is trvinir to dry up the black market by cutting down cus tomers. They show the way, the public performs the feat in four simple ways: (1) write you: car license number and state on all coupons as soon as you get them. (2) Don't buy gasoline without coupons. Your dealer must get coupons from somewhere in order to get supplies himself, and in 90 cases out of a 100 he will have to get them from racketeers. (3) Won't buv coupons nr.d don't take them as gifts. The chances ara that somewhere back along the line they have been either counterfeit ed or ftolen. (4) If you run run short, co to the board and r-tate materials for making doughnuts, which were to be served to men in the front lines. Mr. Skarren's wife, Margaret P. Skarren, is a stenographer at the District Red Cross. She and their two sons, Charles, 8, and Donald, 3, live at 4475 Reservoir road N. W. (From The Washington Star). Few people know it but Eddie Copeland at his plant a mile above Morehead City on Bogue Sound is going ahead with a war food con tract for $40,000 to $50,000 worth of canned ground menhadden for export a kind of nutritious fish hamburg. Canned protein food now are perhaps even more impor tant than canned vegetables if we are going to have to feed a lot of people besides ourselves. A release from an 8th AAr Bomber Station, England, brings the news that TSgt.,- Robert t.

Martin of Ann Street, assigned to duty with the adjutant general's office of the VII Air Force Service Command, Hawaiian Islands, was promoted July 1 from the rank of sergeant to tha- of staff sergeant. Cpl. Jack Barnes, USA, son of Mrs. Robert King, has been traas ferred from England to France. Vance Fulford USN has been sent 'to Camp Peary, Va., for his basic training. Robert L. Dennis, HA 1-c USN. returned Monday to Norfolk af ter spending leave at home. Mrs. John D. Willis, Morehead City, has just received word of the safe arrival of her husband m In dia. Mr. Willis left the States eight weeks ago. Jayctes worked on a special problem at their monthly meet ing Tuesday evening. "Bombarded by every organization in the Unit ed States to gather more scrap laper" as one member said with out as much exaggeration as would seem they are on the brink as to whether to undertake another scrap paper drive or not. Jaycees have had no difficulty in getting cooperation from a mong their own men though it means breaking into their Sunday afternoons to collect and often in to their Wednesday afternoons to store and pack in approved form. If they can get the assurance that people in town are interested and will work with them, they say the decision is already made to go a-head. We have been asked to supply ten pounds of scrap paper per per son per month which makes a quo ta of over 30,000 pounds for Beau fort alone. The. Coca Cola Com pany has come forward with a promise to see that there is stor age space and a promise to pick it up at out of the way depots and bring to the central storage place all of which will facilitate collec tion locally and in the County. This paper, for the Jaycees, will welcome any expression on this subject or any suggestion or crit icism that will help toward a more effective campaign. DROWNING OF CHARLES RICE INVESTIGATED Possibility of Murder Considered Claud C. Glover Funeral Friday Funeral services were conduct ed last Friday afternoon from th-3 home on Pine Street for Pfc Claud C. Clover, son of Mr. and Mr?, Jo dy Glover, by the Rev. M. O. Al exander pastor of the Beaufort Baptist Church and the body was laid to rest in Ocean View Ceme tery with military honors. Claud was drowned early Sun day morning, July 9, in the swim ming pool at Camp Polk, La. A military funeral was also conduct eo for him at Camp Polk by the USA Chaplain before the remains were shipped on Tuesday morn ing. Glover enlisted in the Army two years ago in April and trained at a number of Army camps be fore being sent to Camp Polk. He visited his family here in May. Guy Styron, USN, of At'antio, has been assigned to the crew of an LST at the Amphibious Train ing Base, Camp Bradford, Va., where he is going through the training required of the boys who man the beach hitting tank carriers.

Aivjust 2, members of the 4 H Service Club will picnic at the Beach at S o'clock and will entertain ten ser vice men to whom invitations hav( Frank Robinson, S 1-c, USN, has been spending leave with his sister -at Highland Park following s rvice in the southwest Pacific. Hi left for duty again on M inday. Incidentally, Copeland has been a pioneer in this field. Even before Pearl Harbor he sent samples to Washington, and his were probably the first North Carolina processed menhadden packs made. Bernard J. Flynn, Washington, was at Piver's Island last weok in the interest of helping Copeland iron out construction problems in his plant to facilitate the handling of his new contract and to make improvements especially in regard to cold storage. Authorization of an ultra modern freezer and stor age for seafood has Keen obtained for the plant with the help of Mr. Flynn. Menhadden processing was ad vocated by Dr. H. F. Prytherc'i ov er two years ago and E. G. Poin dexter of the Food Conservation Section of WPB suggested that fish be caned and samples submit ted. At that time the purchasing agent for the British examined and approved samples. Work authorized for the Cope land plant is not only with refer ence to present war contracts but to demonstrate what can be done after the war. The ideal is even tually to have a number of storage facilities along the coast so that fishermen may be ablet o hold sea food for price insuring a better so cial and economic life for our fishermen. 1945 FSA Program At a recent meeting of the Car teret County FSA Committee Hubert Jernigan, County FSA Supervisor and Mrs. Jean D. Mor rison, Associate FSA Supervisor, explained the 1945 FSA Program, stating that the two immediate jobs to be done weret o formulate a county program, and to estimate the amount of loan funds needed to carry out the program. The body of Charles Rice arriv ed in Beaufort from Camp Grant, 111., the week of July 3 and tho body was laid to rest in St. Paul's cemetery on the afternon of July 5. Reports received by the family were not entirely convincing re garding that fact that Charles suf fered accidentaal drowning al though his Commanding OiTicer wrote "There was no evidence up on his body to indicate that he had been the victim of foul play." The following from The Desert Sun, Palm Springs, Calif., shows that officials there are not entirely convinced themselves and that the investigation is not closed. "Private Charles S. Rice who came to Palm Springs to join the staff at Torney General Hospital soon after that institution was activated and who remained here a year and a half before being trans ferred to Camp Grant, 111., was found dead in Rock River near Rockford, 111., under mysterious circumstances. "Rice's father and sister were first notified by the War Depart ment that he met death by drown ing, but at a coroner's inquest ib developed that he wa3 dead before the body was dropped into the riv er. "Pvt. Louis Melvin, also of Camp Grant, told the coroner's ju rors that he and Pvt. Rice had gone to Rockford from the camp to spend the evening and that the last he saw of Rice was in a resturant where they were having supper be fore catching the bus back to camp. When Rice did not Bhow up to take the bus, Melvin presumed he had taken an earlier one. Two days later the body was found in the river. Melvin testified that Rice was in the best of spirits when he last saw him. Sgt. Ralph Davis, USA, has been transferred to Camp Edison, N. J. Pvt. Margaret M. Bryant, Ar my Air Corps, returned to Miami, Fla., yesterday after spending a 5-day leave here with relatives and friends. Mrs. Clarence Guthrie has re turned to her home in Marion fol lowing a week in New York with her hsuband whose ship has been in port there. Lt. Dave Mosier, USN, Holtville, Calif., is due to arrive tomorrow for a visit with his family. INDUCTEES The Committee was advised that certain detailed information would be obtained by the supervisor: (1) General information for all farms in the county. This information is to be secured by consulting cen sus reports and through contacts with other agricultural agency representatives and farm leaders; (2) Information for the FSA Care load which would be obtained by a study of the county records and reports; and (3) program apprais al information resulting from a detailed analysis of individual FSA borrowers as to resources and production possibilities. The committee was informed that their help would be needed and appreciated after the informa had been compiled, and that their advice and assistance would be de sired m determining the problems of low-income farm families and in outlining a program for 1945 that will deal effectively with as many of these problems as possible.
