Moe's Biggest East River Catch

anything—he just liked to fish. And
as nearly as v.e could tell, he never

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA
TOBACCO
The tobacco industry marked the beginning of growth for
Durham. Robert F. Morris was manufacturing tobacco as early
as 1865. Washington Duke, after being mustered out of the
Confederate Army, walked over a hundred miles to his old
farm and began grinding tobacco and packaging it. This was
the forerunner of the American Tobacco Co., which established
Durham as the world's tobacco Capitol.

For Kelly Say?
(Employment Security News)
Snunds a bit humorous, even
Gay, to toll about it, but it was
anything but funny to .1 Kelly
Gay, manager of the Williamst m
Employment office, during the
half an hour in whieh it wus hap
pening
Gay arid three companions were
out hunting recently, occupying a
small skiff, a boat tun small for
the tour ot tilt m, on a lafu a tew
mile- oul from Williamst m. All
had guns, naturally, and were
heavily clothed on that cold day.
fine ot tin occupants got a bit
unbalanced and tried to right him
sell You guessed it the boat
| capsized, spill mg' <dl ft i.u into
the water ten feet deep. Then
Gay's activities began.
Gay got near enough to the
bank to throw his gun ashore.
Then he turned to rescue one of I
his rials " ho had cone down twice. !
He grabbed the end of tile tel .
low’s gun and pulled him along
by it until they struck ground
By the time this man was ashore
another man was calling Gay' He!
had found a stump and was stick- j
ing to it. Gay plunged in again,
got the man and towed him
ashore The fourth man had made
it to the bank under 1m "own
steam. One had dropped hi. gun
Gay knew where it was, so down
he dived and brought d up I’hi n
he pulled the hi at ashore
So, Gay retrived two men. two
guns, the boat that's all that wa
mentioned - >n addition to him
self and his own gun. And, if
that isn't enough to earn a medal,
