THE Roanoke Beacon and Washington County \eics PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY In Plymouth. Washington County. North Carolina The Roanoke Beacon is Wash ington County's only newspaper. It was established in 1889, consoli dated with the Washington County News in 1929 and with The Sun in 1937. Subscription Rates Payable in Advance! One year_$1.50 Six months_ .75 Advertising Rates Furnished Upon Request Entered as second-class matter at the post office in Plymouth N C., under the act of Congress of March 3. 1879. Friday. February 11. O.iH The Hnil/lins ami Loan The Plymouth Building and Loan Association, organized in November, is this week preparing to make its first loans on local real estate. That local people are beginning to appre ciate the many advantages presented by an organization of this type is shown by the increasing number of shares of stock being subscribed. The association wants and needs everyone in the community to be in terested in it, because the greater number of stockholders there are the better able it is to serve the com munity and to aid in home building and home ownership. Money invest ed in building and loan stock is not only working for the shareholder but it is working for the benefit of the town and section, as well. Aside trom its promotion ot home ownership, the building and loan as sociation also offers one of the finest systematic savings plans known. Prac tically every wage earner and sal aried person is enabled to join the association through the sale of its stock in installments of 25 cents per share per week. In a little more than six years every share will return $100 without the investor ever missing the money. And when misfortune strikes it is a fine thing to have a nest egg in building and loan shares upon which to depend. Those who have not sub scribed for stock should see one of the directors or officers of the asso ciation and learn first-hand some of the many advantages the organiza tion offers. -£> Boy Scouts' Birthday A birthday which will involve more than a million boys and men through out the United States is being cele brated this week. It is the 28th an niversary of the founding of the Boy Scout movement, which is beginning its new year witjh an all-time re cord of 1.129,827 active members and with more than 7,500.000 for mer boys and men as participants since its organization on February 8. 1910. Plans for the week included a pro ject through which the Scouts them selves will express their thanks for the support and assistance given by men and women everywhere. This “thanks" will take the form of thou sands of "living” demonstrations of safety and Scoutcraft through which Scouts hope to combat such accident breeding frailities as thoughtlessness, and ignorance. Other high spots of the week's ev ents included the observance of Scout Sunday, February 6th, when Scouts everywhere—including those in Ply mouth—attended church services in Scout uniform to give visual evidence of their practice of the twelfth law', “A Scout is Reverent.” Monday night the Scouts were given a per sonal greeting over the radio by Pre sident Roosevelt, who is honorary president of the organization. The theme for the week, “Building a Stronger Generation" will be igven meaning each day of Boy Scout Week, at the Scouts carry the story of the things they know and do to in terested civic, church, and social groups in their home towns.

Reduction \ cccsnarv North Carloina tobacco growers will have to take a sizeable gouge! from their 1938 acreage to offset the j bumper crop produced in 198 7, farm ers attending the second annual to-' hacco short course at State College last week were told by \V. (i. Finn, of the AA \ In producing a 8200.000,000 crop.; flue-cured growers of the nation piled up a 100,000,000 pound carry-over, j which may affect prices this year. Finn, who is assistant administrator of the east central region, declared. . Although marketing the largest flue-cured crop on record. North j Carolina producers average about 28 j cents a pound for their offerings, i This spectacle of a bumper crop bringing high prices was caused by an increased foregin and domestic i demand. Finn said. However, it was pointed out, do mestic demand will not increase more than 5 per cent in 1938, and the for eign demand may even drop off be-: cause of unsettled conditions in the Orient and because many countries now importing United States flue cured leaf are beginning to grow more of their own tobacco. "The high prices received for the large 1937 crop may cause growers everywhere to plant more tobacco1 this year unless suitable control meas ures are put into effect." Finn said. Pending legislation in Congress will aid in equalizing the supply and demand of tobacco." the AAA rep resentative told lire farmers. "If passed, growers will have a chance to accept or reject the legislation thru a referendum. A two-thirds majority will be needed for the act to become law." The referendum would take about 30 days for completion, Finn said. -2 Dividends For Safe Driving —® The careful motorists is to be fi nancially rewarded for safe driving, according to an announcement from the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters. In the past, motorists have paid the same price, based upon the ac cident experience in the localities where they live and the type of car they drive, for automobile bodily in jury and property damage liability insurance. This has penalized the careful motorist—though he might operate his car year after year with out a mishap, his insurance cost him as much as it did the driver who was periodically involved in accidents. Now member companies of the Na tional Bureau have decided to write insurance on an entirely new basis. The new basis is the "safe driver reward plan" which guarantees to au tomobile policyholders a 15 [ter cent return of their annual premium pro vided no claims are brought under policies durin the 12 months after the effective date of the plan. The re ward will be payable thirty days af ter the expiration of the policy year through the agent or broker. All pri vate companies will be eligible, with the exception of those which are sub ject to the automobile fleet plan, the experience rating plan, or some other special plan. I Rambling ...About By THE RAMBLER J 'll est Plymouth"— Lion President T. L. Bray rather leatly presented visiting Lions from tYilliamston at the banquet here last I'hursday night. He introduced them :o the assemblage as "The delega ion from West Plymouth." And the , isiting Lion President, I). Y. Clay ton—who, incidentally, was a Plym >uth resident for many years before moving to the suburbs—was still try ing to think up a "fast one" to come oack with when the meeting was over. He never did get even, though. Fishing Time Soon— Hunter? have but a few more days aetore it is time to hang up the gun rnd call off the dogs. That's sad news to many of them, no doubt. But to another class of folks—and probably some of the gunners lap over into this class, too—it's mighty good news. Because when the hunting season comes to a close, the fishing season is not far away. Now, there are fishermen and fish ermen. Some of them have elabor ate tackle kits with hundreds of dol lars' worth of gadgets and artificial baits—others have nothing but a cane pole, with a iork “bobber," and a perch hook. But all of them get their money’s worth when the fishing season arrives, and it won't be long, now! Few Already at It— There are a few hardy souls who never stop fishing, even in the most severe winters. And there are a num ber of fathers who have already open ed this year’s fishing during the warm days early this week. But for the big majority, the season won't really get underway until they can secure some herring fins for bait, and that's still a few weeks off. And, coming back to the owner of a perch pole, there’s something about that type of fishing that really claims you, once you ever try it and have some luck. You can talk about y<5ur asting with artificial bait, your troll ing for salt-water game fish—and both are fine sport, too—but when you start talking about goin' fishin’, just give your average fisherman in these parts a new cane pole, a few minnows and a perch hook, a fairly cool spring morning when the fog is till rising off the water, and he’s sat slied. win, lose, or draw. There’s a fascination about watching a cork— waiting for that tell-tale drift that spells “speckled perch”—which no other kind of fishing brings.

W hich leads up to the story of the slightly' befuddled gent who happened to pas-; a wharf where a sport fish erman had set tip a scaffold on which to weigh a monster fish he had just landed, (t was a tremendous marlin, probably tipping the scales at c iaind 400 pounds. Suspended there in the air, it doubtless looked even larger than it was. The man walked around the big fish, squinting at it from first one side and then the oth er.
