SEABOARD Ancestor of Moore County’s Phy sician Was First to Success fully Propel Ship by Steam Dr. J. Symington, the county phy sician, has received some papers from the old country that give him a pleas ant few minutes in their reading. It seems that an older member of the family has been the object of a hun dredth anniversary celebration in St. Botolph’s Church, London. A hun dred years ago William Symington, was buried in St. Botolph^s, in 1890 his bust was placed in the Royal Scottish Museum, Edinburgh, and in 1903 the Lord Mayor of London un veiled in St. Botolph's churchyard a memorial tablet to “The Father of Marine Engineering.” William Symington, a Scotchman, of Leadhills in South Lanarkshire, de signed and built at Grangemoiith, for Lord Dundas, the first practical steam vessel, the “Charlotte Dundas.” The engine and the model of this vessel are now in the Science Museum, South Kenisngton. The Charlotte Dundas was one of a number of efforts to navigate through the aid of steam as a power, and fortunately it was the one that actually demonstrated its ability to pull its load. But one of those singular conditions arose that so often interferes with the success of a new venture. The “Charlotte Dundas” had the hard luck to be in stalled on the Forth and Clyde canal, and while it propelled its load, the wash from the wheel broke down the embankment of the canal, and wise British and Scotch engineers saw that such a vehicle would he too de structive to the canal to serve, so it was ultimately breached and destroy ed. Symington died in poverty through the money expended in his inventions and construction, but to day he is recognized as the founder of marine engineering, and many of the principles that he laid down in the construction of his engines and their application to marine work are recognized by ship builders today. The operation of the “Charlotte Dundas” interested many progressive men, and one of the Americans who had been trying to establish steam transit on the water, Robert Fulton, went over to Scotland and studied the “Charlotte Dunday.” He had been en gaged in the solution of the problem for some time. That the successful vessel washed down the banks of the canal offered Fulton no difficulty, for in his country the rivers are wide and the banks substantial. He came home and five years later he made a suc cess of the Clermont on the Hudson, and set the United States on the road to a transformation in navigation. Symington’s first successful steam vessel made the Clyde the home of the greatest steamship building industry which came speedily to dominate the world, and which to this day Britain’s strongest weapon in international re lations. William Symington is not so well known generally as he deserves, nev ertheless on his ingenuity and skill is founded much of the marvelous com mercial development of the entire globe. Symington also had much to do with the development of the road engine that in time graduated into the locomotive, that other factor in the expansion of trade and the creation of industry. He was one of the forceful factors in the progress mankind has made in the last century. t Our Azalea-Gardens Vari-Colored Plants on the Grounds of M. G.

C. % Seakiaid Faced with the likelihood that the farm income this year will not pro vide much surplus cash to buy a variety of food products, complete 1 gardens so rotated as to supply veg etables to eat fresh this summer and canned next winter are being advo- i cated by home demonstration club workers in North Carolina. “It is the woman who must scheme I and plan to set a well balanced, ap petizing meal before her family, and she is awake to the fact that the present farm income will not admit of much variety, if all the food must be paid for in cash,” says Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon, assistant extension di rector at State College. “She is there fore, the greatest ally to the live- at-home movement, and she must plan I this year to grow a year around gar den, planting the vegetables which are necessary for good nutrition and I canning the surplus for use next win ter.” Mrs. McKimmon says 1,550 ipounds of vegetables and 1,456 pounds of fruit are required each year for a well-fed family consisting of a moth er, father and three children. Last I year more than 7,00 farm homes re ported so planning their gardens as to supply vegetables for the entire year. The need is even more impor tant this year. To take care of the needs for canned vegetables next winter, Mrs. McKim mon advocates working on the budget system. A budget worked out by the home demonstration department sug gests 57 pints of a variety of vege tables and 47 pints of a variety of fruits for each member of the family to last through the six months per iod when these food products are not so easily obtained. Last year, women in 2,754 homes followed this budget with excellent re sults and Mrs. McKimmon is asking that a larger number follow the bud get this season. To do so will mean better health and an adequate diet next winter, she says. Town taxes are now past due and I have been author ized to advertise property the first of May for sale for delinquent taxes. This will add considerable cost. Pay now and avoid penalty and embarassment. J. T. HARRINGTON, Town Tax Collector vAUiittmtttttmtttuitttmttttttxtxtmtmttttttuttttutttttmtti Mrs. J.

YEAR ROUND SERVICE In rebuilding our plant last summer we equipped it in units in order to expand or contract with the season’s demands. This enables us to remain open all year round and to furnish to our patrons du ring the summer season the same depen- able quality of service that we furnish during the winter months.
