The Roanoke Beacon »»»»»»» and Washington County News ★★★★★★★ VOLUME L—NUMBER 7 Plymouth, Washington County, /Vorth Carolina, Friday, February 17, 1939 A home newspaper dedicated to the service of Washington County and Its 12,900 people. ESTABLISHED 1889 Town opics Passing through Plymouth last week en route to Roper to visit his parents. Mayor and Mrs. W. M. Bate man, was James A. Bateman, man aging editor of the Jackson News, who has been employed by Parker Brothers for several years at Ahos kie, and who has recently taken over the management of one of their four newspapers. Joe Bland, Long Ridge man charg ed with assault with a deadly weapon in recorder's court Tuesday, is report ed to be one of the 34 children of Reuben Bland, of Martin County, who was press-agented as the nation’s champion papa by Carl Goerch, when the latter carried Mr. Bland to Wash ington and wangled a meeting for them with President Coolidge back about 1927. The father and son banquet planned by W. S. Moore, voca tional instructor at the Plymouth High Schol, for next Wednesday night has been postponed on ac count of the conflict of dates with the Boy Scout banquet, to be held at that time. Scout Executive J. J. Sigwald, of Wilson, who was here the other day, remarked that a “year of action was a year of satisfaction" and further said he believed "a good time was had by all" scouts who observed fun night Tuesday. Although a poster appeared on the window of Liverman’s Drug Store here advising the public that contri butions would be accepted by Mrs. H. A. Liverman, treasurer of the lo cal Red Cross, for sufferers in the Chilean earthquake disaster, not a cent was given. Mrs. H. A. Blount has been very active in securing the donation of $100 from the Plymouth Town Council to the Washington Coun ty Public Library, which is lo cated in the basement of the courthouse, and on the shelves of which are found recent novels and books for children, as well as adults. Two of the 110 Wake Forest Col lege students who made the mid-year honor roll were B. W. Chesson and G. W. Holton, of Roper, according to the list released this week by Reg istrar Grady Patterson which includ ed 30 seniors, 29 juniors, 23 sopho mores, and 28 freshmen. Oliver A. Quayle, jr., treasurer of the Democratic National Committee at Washington, D. C., has written Chairman W. R. Gaylord, of Wash ington County, urging Democrats to contribute 25 or 50 cents each in an effort ’to “perpetuate the Democratic \dm- listratUn.” ^ - * -@ Fishermen Doubt Pollution Is Cause Of Fish Shortage Sound Side Fishermen Be lieve Fish Going Farther Up Atlantic Coast — Doubt that any pollution of streams in this section by wood plants is the cause of the diminishing fish supply, particularly of shad and herring, was expressed this week by Herbert Am brose, deputy game protector and well-known fishermen of the Sound Side section. He believes the short age in recent years has been due to the fact that prevailing winds have not been sufficient to blow Albemarle Sound water far enough out into the sea and migrating species of fish searching for fresh water in which to spawn pass up Oregon and New In lets on their way up the coast. Mr. Ambrose said a relative of his who has been fishing for years in Chespeake Bay stated that last year the catches of shad in that section were better than in years, while in this section the catches were the smallest in years, giving rise to the belief that the shad had passed up the streams here and continued up the coast to find fresh water for spawning. The fisherman also thinks curtail ment of the work at the shad hatch ery in Edenton has worked to the disadvantage of fishermen in this section, as this agency is not putting as many small fish in the streams now as they formerly did. As for the dead fish found along the shores last spring, Mr. Ambrose said that before the pulp plant was ever built many dead herring washed ashore in the Sound Side sections; they have even been scooped up in nets and used for fertilizer on farm land bor dering the sound, he said. Mr. Ambrose’s ideas about the fish shortage were shared by O. C. Bar row, who fished for years at Newby’s Ditch, two miles east of the new Al bemarle Sound bridge. Norfolk Man Rents Building Formerly Used by Burgess S. Scherr, of Norfolk, has rented the store building here formerly oc cupied by T. C. Burgess and hopes to have his stock in and the store open for business by the first of March. He will handle ladeis’, men’s, chil dren’s and infants’ wearing apparel. After a trip to the markets for his stock, Mr. Scherr will take up resi dence here with his wife. •-<S> Band Concert Postponed To Monday, February 27 The Plymouth High School Band postponed their concert, originally scheduled for Wednesday night of this week, to Monday, February 27, in the high school auditorium at 8 O’clock p. m. Use of Skim and Gill Nets Limited lo 2 Days Week Under an amendment to a ruling in the hunting and fishing regula tions passed in January by the Board of Conservation and Development, it is unlawful to take fish from inland waters by any means or method, ex cept with hook and line, rod and reel or by casting, according to Game Protector J. T. Terry. There is one exception to the ruling, however, ac cording to the game protector, and that is a provision that shad and her ring may be taken with skim and gill nets of not less bar than 1 1-2 inches | on Fridays and Saturdays between January 1 and April 15 in streams in Washington and surrounding coun ties. The Roanoke River is not included in the list of inland waters, and hence gill and skim nets may be used on the river at any time. However, the use of these nets on the creeks and smaller streams of the section is not permitted except on Fridays and Sat urdays between January 1 and April 15, it is understood. An additional provision permits the taking of catfish, carp, suckers and gars by seine, under supervision of the county fish and game protector, from certain muddy waters designat ed by the Department of Conserva tion and Development during July and August of each year. Soft and Oily Hog Penalties Discussed STILL HELD UP | v/ No further word has been re ceived from the PWA administra tor in Washington, D. C., relative to the delayed funds for the new Creswell school building, but II. H. McLean, county superintend ent, is still depending on the promise of Col. E. W. Clark, as sistant administrator of the PWA, that something will be done very soon. In the meantime, everything is in readiness at the new building in Creswell, and just as soon as the balance of $9,800 is received, the contractor will be paid and the children permitted to begin use of the new structure. Colored Lodge Hall Destroyed by Blaze Early Last Saturday Man Living in Building Bare ly Escapes With Life; Cause Unknown Sleeping soundly despite the crack ’ir-.g of flame", F. Q. Hester, colored, was awakened and managed to escape just before the roof caved in when fire completely destroyed a colored lodge hall and home on Madison Street last Saturday morning about 2:30. Damage was estimated at $2, 500, and although it was reported the Odd Fellows had $1,000 insur ance on the building, officials of the lodge today were not sure that the premium on the policy had been paid. The building was owned by the col ored lodge of Odd Fellows, with Dr. L. S. Mitchell, Henry Ellis, Tom Blount, Dawson Lee and William Johnson. It was used as a meeting place also by the colored Masons and Elks, and Hester made his home in the building. Several sewing machines owned by various individuals and loaned to1 the WPA sewing room, on the top floor, were destroyed by the fire, the origin of which is not known. A dwelling next to the lodge, occu pied by Helen Weaver, and owned by M. K. King, was damaged to the ex tent of about $200, but firemen ar rived in time to prevent spread of the flames and to save the King dwel ling. -$ Plan Demonstration Meat Canning Here A demonstration in meat canning will be given at the agriculture build ing in Plymouth Tuesday morning, beginning at 10, with Mrs. Charles Cloaninger, of Muncie, Ind., in charge it was announced this week by Mrs. Frances M. Darden, home demon stration agent. Mrs. Cloaninger is a graduate of Winthrop College and has taught home economics for several years. She also supervised a school canning kitchen and has given canning dem onstrations in cooperation with the Farm Security Administration. Mrs. Darden urges that the women of the town, as well as all members of the home demonstration clubs should attend this canning school, as it should be beneficial to every cook and housewife. Advantages of canning, methods of canning, processing equipment used, and an actual canning of meat will be the subject matter of the lecture and demonstration, regarded as cer tain to attract scores of women, ac cording to Mrs. Darden. -® Blind Piano-Tuner Working At Various County Schools Pianos in the public schools of Washington County are being tuned this week by Hardee Boykin, of Bail ey, Wilson County, who is doing the work under a state-wide WPA proj ect sponsored by the N. C. Blind Commission. While in this county Mr. Boykin will visit both the white and colored schools in Roper, Plymouth, Creswell and Cherry to tune the pianos. Five counties, including Washington, are included in the district served by Mr. Boykin. There are about 30 of these blind piano tuners operating in the state Farm Agent Outlines Findings in Cheek After Swine Killed —®— Says Actual Findings 20 To 30 Per Cent More Than Amount Charged -*— By W. V. HAYS Since the beginning of our hog marketing in Plymouth there has been considerable speculation as to the returns from the sales with re spect to soft and oily hogs killed at market. Many of our farmers seem to think that we are being deliberately robbed. Some seem to have the im pression that when hogs were high packers made it a point to find more soft and oily hogs than when hogs were selling at lower price levels. Af ter considerable discussion among the shippers it was decided that the County Agent go to market in Febru ary 1938 and check up on some of these soft and oily hogs. After care fully checking the hogs that had been killed and in the cooler for two days the County Agent found hogs in a soft and oily condition amounting to about 20 percent to 30 percent more than the amount our farmers had actually been charged for soft and oily Even after this some people thought that the County Agent’s presence on the market influenced to some ex tent the packers return at this par ticular time. And some people assert ed that their hogs which had been penalized for soft and oily conditions were hard. The County Agent does not believe that the packers deliber ately charged farmers for soft and oily hogs unless they had actually killed that way. Effective the first of February 1939 we have a government inspector on the Baltimore markets checking hogs in four principal killing plants. We have just received the first report on hogs shipped from Plymouth on Janu ary 31, 1939 and had reported from a lot of 233 hogs; 64 hard or 27.5%; 74 soft or 31.7%; and 95 oily or 40.8%). This report shows 72.5% of our hogs killed soft and oily to such an extent that they would ordinarily be penalized. We have not as yet re ceived the report from the packer who bought the hogs but we believe the penalty would have been less by 25%. Now the question is what in fluence will the grading by govern ment inspectors have on the pack ers? Would we as hog growers have been in a better position had we not obtained government inspection? At any rate this government inspection in the various packing plants in Bal timore, our principal hog market, will we believe tend to standardize the grading of soft and oily conditions As growers and shippers of hogs we need not be alarmed at the result of this soft and oily grading. Packers will pay us about what the market commands and according to the de mand for their products. Ocassionally someone gets a little sore when a report of his hogs comes in. We try in every way to so conduct our hog sales to avoid errors and avoid offending anyone. The men who handle the yards are good. They are efficient in their work and we have a minimum of trouble resulting from grading, tattooing or the yarding of the hogs sold through the Plymouth Mutual Livestock Association. A man remarked last week that he never expected to sell another hog through this association because he had been "gypped" and that he could have gotten more for his hogs else where. A day or so later he called on the phone and wanted to know when the next sale would be and remarked that he would have made y2c more by selling through the association even if he had to take the penalty for oily hogs. One of our larger growers and shippers carried a load of hogs 85 miles up the State this past week and sold them 15c per hundredweight low er than they would have brought in Plymouth. This is mentioned to illustrate the advantages of a farmers cooperative. The Plymouth Livestock Association does not wish to handle all the hogs in the county. The object of this or ganization is to establish prices and to ■ guarantee hog growers and ship pers market prices for their hogs. All hog growers in this and adjoining counties have received, indirectly, as much or more benefit than the mem bers of this association May Pea Crop Likely To He Smallest for Years in Phis County —t— Prospects Are Not More Than 100 Acres To Be Planted; Low Prices Cause -<s> A drastic reduction in the acreage planted to May peas in Washington County is forecast this year, as the result of heavy losses sustained by the producers last season, when the price dropped to as low as $1.25 a basket. Last year’s low prices follow ed several other years in which the growers have realized nothing out of the crop. The belief is expressed by farmers that the acreage this year will not exceed 100 acres, while last year at least double this amount was plant ed, with the yield and price both very poor. So far the only farmers reported planning to plant the crop are: W. T. Phelps, 10 acres: A R. Phelps. 25; J. E. Davenport, 10: L ,E. Hassell, 6, and J. L. Phelps, 10. However, it is possible a few acres will be planted in the Pleasant Grove section by farmers whose names had not been secured. E. S. (Ted) Blount, owners of the Blount Hardware and Seed Store here ,said that he sold 1,400 pounds of seed last year up to this time, while this year he has sold only 120 pounds so far. *At one time, this crop was one of the leading spring cash crops in the county, but, owing to its perishable qualities, which prevents the peas from being held over, the price usu ally drops below cost of production about the time the county crop gets on the market; other sections which have earlier seasons rushing their peas on the market before those pro duced in the county can be harvested. Reports gathered from several sources are *to the effect that May peas must bring aboyt $2 a basket on the New York market in order to yield a profit to growers here; and the $1.25 price of last year will not pay for the expense of the seed, cultiva tion, harvesting and shipping. 15 Applications for Seed - Feed Loans Recorded To Date -—— Shortage of Blanks Has Held Up Work; 75 Loans in County Last Year So far only about 15 applications for emergency crop and feed loans for 1939 have been received here at W. R. Hampton's office by Miss Mar tha Hornthal, who is receiving these applications under the supervision of Roy Hearne, field supervisor of the Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Act of the Farm Credit Administration. Last year Miss Hornthal estimated that she received about 75 applica tions, ranging from $75 to $200. She has been delayed in the work this year on account of lack of applica tion blanks. A large number of farmers who applied were asked to return after additional blanks had been received. A new batch of ap plication blanks came in this week, and Miss Hornthal urges who wish to apply for loans to see her at once. The loans will be made, as in the past, only to farmers whose cash re quirements are small and who cannot obtain credit from other sources. The loans will be limited to the farmer’s immediate actual cash needs for growing his 1939 crops or for the pur chase of feed for livestock. Farmers receiving the government feed and seed loans must give as se curity a first lien on the crops fi nanced, or a first lien on the livestock Plan Big Doings for Scouts and Fathers —*— Predicted to be one of the most in teresting an denjoyable events in the Boy Scout program for Washington County in recent months is the dad and-son banquet, scheduled for next Wednesday evening at 6:30, at the Christian Church Annex, where 150 are expected to attend. Included in the group will be cubs, scouts, and sea scouts with their dads, and all the scouters, scoutmasters, and their assistants, from Creswell, Roper and Plymouth. Maynard Fletcher, of Washington, will be the principal speaker and will be supported on the program by Scout Executive J. J. Sigwald, of Wilson, and his assistant, George Thomason. Similar banquets are being held aver the eastern part of the state in connection with scouting, according to Scoutmaster N. A. Taylor, of Plymouth; and a feature of the local banquet will be Wilford Whitley and Douglass Gurkin receiving their eagle scout badges, and the sea scout char ter will be presented. Creswell Man Injured by Falling Tree Tuesday Creswell.—Harris Tarkenton, of Hickory, a foreman of the Plymouth Box and Panel Company, was injured when a falling tree knocked him to the ground in the Newlands section Tuesday. An examination by Dr. J. M. Phelps revealed a possible skull fracture, brain concussion and lacerations over the left eye and scalp. Warns Farmers To Get Permits Before Burning Woodland “It is time for the farmer to do his cleaning and brush burning,'’ said Forest Fire Warden S. F, Dar den this week, 'and I am asking everyone to be on the alert to pre vent the spread of the fires to wood lands.” According to Mr. Darden, the tim ber crop is worth more than a field crop, as it requires several years to grow a stand of timber, while only one season is needed for the growth of a field crop, "Burning permits can be secured from me," the fire warden said, “or can be obtained from James T. Bateman, towerman, and there is a statute prohibiting burning be tween April 1 and June 15 unless the person setting the fire has a permit. Mr. Darden urges the cooperation of everyone in getting the permits and cooperation with him in a gen eral way to protect forest lands from fires. --- Rate of Reduction Changed for Excess Acreage of Tobacco —®— Farmers Warned Too Much Acreage Will Mean Loss In Payments The rate of reduction under the 1939 soil conservation program for excess planted acreage of flue-cured, burley, fire-cured and dark air-cured and cigar filler and binder tobacco up to 10 per cent of the allotment has been changed from 8 cents to 2 cents a pound of the normal yield per acre, according to information received by County Agent W. V. Hays from the Agricultural Adjustment Administration today. The regular reduction of 8 cents per pound will apply to acreage that exceeds the allotment by more than 10 per cent, according to Mr. Hays, who says the flat rate of 8 cents per pound will be continued for all Geor gia-Plorida type 62 tobacco harvested in excess of the allotment. In commenting on the change in the rate of reduction, J. B. Hutson wrote Mr. Hays that “this change is in keeping with recommendations of tobacco farmers. While the change will permit somewhat larger plant ings of tobacco by farmers with a smaller loss of payments under the program, it affords more flexibility, which farmers have felt to be de sirable. ' Farmers who desire to take part iif the Agricultural Conservation pro gram should be careful not to over plant their allotments. Plantings in excess of the allotment by more than 10 per cent would mean a loss of payment equal to $64 for each acre of excess where the yield is 800 pounds per acre.” -$ Final Rites Sunday At Pleasant Grove For Mrs. Ida Hodges —*— Widow of Late W. B. Hodges Died Last Saturday After Lengthy Illness Funeral services were held at the Pleasant Grove Methodist Church Sunday afternoon for Mrs. Ida Hodges, 74, who died Saturday morn ing at 9:30 at the home of her daugh ter, Mrs. Dennis Chesson. near Roper.

Damage Estimated At Around $4,000; Cause Not Known ■ ■ —<3>.— Good Work by Firemen Pre vents Serious Fire in Uptown Section -® Fire of undetermined origin gutted the building occupied by the New <01dJ Theatre here at 2:30 Wednes day morning, damaging the building and contents, estimated by the own ers and theatre operators, at around $4,000. When the firemen arrived it ap peared that the building had been burning for at least 30 minutes, and it was nearly an hour before the fire had been completely brought under control. The brick wails on each side helped prevent spread of the blaze, despite the fact that the flames were fanned by a heavy wind. The volunteer fire department was com mended on all sides for its work in averting a greater loss. The building was owned by A. L. Owens, who is in Hot Springs, Ark., and he could not be reached for an estimate of the loss. However, his son, Lloyd Owens, stated that the damage was close to $2,000, the roof, wall covering, and fixtures, including seats, screen, and such, being a total loss. Shep Brinkley, who has been op erating the theatre under a lease from Mr. Owens, said that the dam age to his equipment, including an RCA sound system, amounted to about $2,000. Neither the owner of the building nor the operator had any insurance, with the exception of the sound system, which was insured by the finance company. Mr. Brinkley had arranged for pic tures to be shown in the old theater through July, but he does not know now whether the building will be re placed or not, as Mr. Owens is out of town. It is understood that Mr. Brinkley’s lease on the theater runs until 1940. The origin of the fire is unknown, as firemen were unable to determine just where the blaze started, the en tire building being a mass of flames when they arrived. -<g> Refugee Seeking Aid In Bringing Family From Nazi Germany Jewish Rabbi Who Escaped Here Last Week Visiting Members of Faith A Jewish rabbi who felt the iron hand of Germany's Hitler was a vis itor in Plymouth last Friday, calling on others of his race and faith in seeking contributions to bring his wife and family to this country and away from the persecution they are undergoing at the hands of the Nazs.
