County Draft Board Chairman Requests
Immediate Registration of Men, 18 - 26
Wiley Taylor, county draft board
chairman, has requested that all
men required to register in the 19
48 Selective Service act present
themselves at one of the county
draft board offices as early as pos
sible regardless of age.
Mr. Taylor added that after this
week, offices in Atlantic and New
port will be closed, after which
all men must register at either the
Beaufort or Morehead City office.
It makes no difference, he said, at
which of the four offices now open
the men choose to register.
Reporting on the first day of re
gistration, Mr. Taylor said that
about 35 men had registered in
Beaufort by noontime and that a
similar number signed up in More
head City. At press time he had
not received pny reports from
either Atlantic or Newport.
Mr. Taylor said the draft board
needs additional help and anyone
wishing to volunteer as a registrar
will be welcomed.
Heading the four county offices
are Mrs. Ruby Holland, Beaufort;
Jesse Staton, Morehead City; Mrs.
Prudie M. Willis, Atlantic; and
Leon A. Mann, Newport. v
Air Parcel Post
Begins Tomorrow
The advent of speedier-nation-wide-worldwide
air parcel post
service tomorrow brings back to
minds of old-timers the introduc
tion of similar operations 35 years
ago. It was in 1913, according to
Postmaster Harold Webb of More
head Cltyvfhat parcel post first
Trade, its appearance in the United
States. -r.CT
The service at that time was
established primarily to aid farm
ers and villages located off the
beaten paths, in expediting their
products to market and, in turn, re
ceiving goods from larger cities.
However, mail order houses and
other establishments were quick to
realize its value.
Transportation facilities in those
days were slow and tedious. Motor
driven vehicles were few and the
roads which they traversed were
frequently impassable. Also, trains
were giving off more sparks and
smoke than speed. There were no
commercial planes in these days
and only the foolhardy visioned
the rapid approach of (his Air Age,
remarked the postmaster.
Then it took days to transport
parcel post packages across the
country. Some parcels were forced
to go by virtually every movable
conveyance before they reached
their destination particularly to
the more remote sectors.
From that modest beginning, par
cel post has grown to become an
integral cog in the far-flung Ameri
can postal operations, commented
Mr. Webb. Its annual poundage,
keeping step with the progress of
transportation, has soared from a
few million to billions of pounds
of. assorted commodities.
Still determined to employ the
fastest means of transportation to
move the mails, the Post Office de
partment will add the link neces
sary to give the United States the
world's most highly specialized
doorstep delivery service with the
launching of the new nationwide
worldwide air parcel post, said
Postmaster Webb.
Health Department Issues
Immunization Report
A statistical report on the im
munization work of the county
health department in June was re
leased yesterday by the local
health department, and the num
ber who turned out for vaccinations
was described by Dr. N. Thomas
Ennett, health officer, as "not a
verv good showing."
The statistics drawn up were
based on immunization work done
outside of the. health office in va
rious community clinics throughout
the county. There were 30 clinics
In all.
A totnl of 238 persons were im
munized against typhoid, 39 for
diptheria, 30 for whooping cough,
and three for small pox.
-, Dr. Emett accounts for the small
turnout by saying that people
usually do not take advantage of
vaccinations of this type unless
there is an Imminent threat of di
sease, such as an epidemic. V.
There is also another possibility,
Dr. Ennett added. Many persons
may have been vaccinated private

ecutive Chairman
With the resignation of Dr. R.
E. Coker as director of the Insti
tute of Fisheries Research, More
head City, W. A. Ellison, Jr., of
Boston and Belhaven, has taken
over the guidance of the University
of North Carolina research organ
ization. Dr. Coker, who is vacation
ing at Blowing Rock and will be
away until mid-September, will con
tinue as chairman of the executive
committee which will formulate
and define the policy of the insti
tute. Other members of the board
are Dr. Harden F. Taylor, assistant
director, Roy Hampton and D. P.
Costello.
The survey of Inside shrimp now
being made aims at determination
of migration, growth rate, density
of population, establishment of
shrimp stations from Southport to
Roanoke Island. These stations
will be visited once every two
weeks and an effort made to find
out where shrimp are taken.
Dr. Eugene Roelofs, of the insti
tute, this week visited the Chowan
river, Roanoke river and the head
waters of the Albemarle looking
for possible pollution that would
affect shad, herring, and striped
bass. Dr. Alfred Chestnut, of the
research board, has just returned
from one of his monthly runs from
JUaufort across the mouth of the
Neuse and Pamlico to Stumpy
Point. Hydrographic stations
across the mouth of the Neuse and
Pamlico and up the Hyde county
coast have alread been established.
The plans are to go as far north
as Croatan and Roanoke Sounds,
and establish a series of stations
on the sound side of the reef, all
to be visited at least once a month.
The purpose is to gather exact
data on hydrography of sound wa
ters, on the basis of which new
studies on fish, Crustacea and mol
luscs can be made.
A completely-equipped trailer
with outboard and skiff, thermo
meters, water bottles, and nets, is
being used in the survey, as well
as the "Victory" (which has not
yet been renamed), a 38-foot-beam,
Chrysler-powered craft built in
Connepticut and bought locally.
The larger boat, which replaces
the Reliance, draws but three feet
of water and has been fitted fori
scientific work with such items as
deep-sea thermometers, collecting-
water bottles, plankton nets, bot
tom grabs, small oyster dredce.
small fish trawl, two and a half

Time Marches On
M. S. Webb Helped
Develop Morehead
Among the men of fifty years
ago who played an important part
in the growth and development of
Morehead City, the late M. S. Webb
was one of the most active in both
the civic and commercial activities
of that period.
For several years he was con
nected with the firm of T. D. Webb
Brothers who conducted a large
mercantile business. About 1900,
Mr. Webb withdrew from the firm,
establishing a wholesale business
which he conducted in a successful
manner.
Aside from his mercantile inter
est, Mr. Webb was a large owner
of real estate. At that time he
owned the three-story brick build
ing now owned and occupied by.
Freeman's Brothers retail grocery.
Mr. Webb's wholesale business was
located in this building, also the
Ocean Cafe. The second floor was
arranged for offices while the top
floor was used as a skating rink.
"Among the other real estate
holdings of Mr. Webb were some
25 small homes In the northern
part of the town which he rented
to colored tenants.

Continue Good
During the second week of East
ern North Carolina flue-cured to
bacco sales, prices by gra'des were
steady to higher in most cases than
the first two days of the season.
However, the United States and
North Carolina Departments of
Agriculture report a heavy influx
of tips and lower quality primings
fte the tnVkrta-t caused t considtit
able increase in inferior offerings.
This resulted In an average of
only $47.77 per hundred for the
35,152,041 gross pounds marketed
the week ending August 27. The
average was $3.03 below that estab
lished last week. For the first
seven days of the season gross
sales reached 50,615,035 averaging
$48.69. In spite of the light volume
sold early in the week, season
sales were running heavier than
the comparable period last season
with the general average $5.31
higher.
Comparative prices with the first
two days show increases ranging
from 25 cents to $5.00 per hundred.
Most were $1.00 to $2.00. The gains
were principally for lugs, prim
ings, and lower leaf grades. Bet
ter quality leaf and low orange
cutters were slightly weaker with
losses generally at $1.00.
The proportion ot lugs sold de
creased about one-half from last
week. More leaf, primings, and
nondescript appeared. More of
ferings were of green and red col
or as many tips were marketed.
Common to good leaf, fair to fine
lugs, low and fair primings, and
nondescript made up the bulk of
sales.
Most markets ended the week
with blocked sales. Heavy deliv
eries are anticipated next week.

Farm Executive
Requests Increase
In Memberships
(Special to The News-Times
NEW BERN Some 80 Farm
Bureau leaders, including 26 wom
en, from eight county organiza
tions, including Carteret, in a dis
trict meeting here recently were
told by R. Flake Shaw, Greensboro,
executive vice president of the
North Carolina Farm bureau, that
"we need membership more than
ever this year if we are to hold on
to the agricultural gains we have
made,"
' Shaw, who recently toured farm
centers of Western Europe and
Great Britain, pointed out that na
tions overseas have had farm or
ganizations for many years, and
agricultural programs, too. He
added that in England about 90
percent of the farmers are mem
bers of the National Farmers uni
on, the British equivalent of the
American Farm Bureau federation,
and that the annual dues there
range from $5 to $150, depending
on acreage.
"When we consider that the Aik
en bill amendment guaranteeing to
bacco growers 90 percent of parity
for their product only passed the
80th Congress on a 40 to 41 vote,"
Shaw said, "we can't help but rea
lize how important Farm Bureau is
to every farmer. Senator Aiken
himself, sponsor of the long-range
farm measure, said publicly that
if it hadn't been for Farm Bureau
the price support program would
never have been put over in that
session."

Deaths from Tuberculosis
Hit New Low in 1947
NEW YORK (AP) - Tuber
culosis was given a setback in 19
47, with a new low for deaths in
the United States. Provisional fi
gures show 47,636 deaths, Miss
Mary Dempsey, statisician of the
National Tuberculosis association,
writes in the NTA's Bulletin.
This, she says, is the first time
the country's TB death toll has
been below 50,000. There were
50,911 deaths in 1946. Wrong ideas
about tuberculosis are one reason
the white plagu? hasn't been era
dicated, says Dr. R. H. Runde, me
dical director of the Peoria County
(111.) Tuberculosis Sanatorium. (
One. false idea is that vou can't
get TB unless someone in you:
familj had it. Another, he v. riles,
is that a change of climate is the
most important thing in treatment.
Still anoher is that one x-ray exam
insion is good for a lifetime.
Dr. Runde lists five other rea
sons TB hasn't b?en licked:
1. Complacency on the part of
the public; 2. Until recently, there
weren't facilities for early diagno
sis; 3. Many localises still lack fa
cilities for treatment; 4. Thev is
no generally accented method of
immunization although BcG vac
cine has been widely used abroad
with encouraginz results; 5. Theie

Funeral services will be held at
3:30 this afternoon in St. Paul's
Episcopal church, Beaufort, for Ha
rold Lennox, 26, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Math Owens, Beaufort, who
died as a result of injuries received
early Saturday morning when his
automobile crashed, overturning
several times at the western ap
proach to Beaufort drawbridge.
Lennox, who was alone at the
time of the accident, was taken
to Morehead City hospital where
he died at 5 o'clock Saturday morn
ing. The accident occurred at 2
a.m.
Stale police reported that Len
nox was being pursued for speed
ing by Morehead City police and
that he is believed to have been
going at approximately 70 miles
per hour. Slate Highway Patrol
men M. V. Hooper and K. M. Fowl
er were notified by Beaufort police
to investigate the accident at 2:30
a.m.
The patrolmen later discovered
that the front wheels of Lennox's
car, a 1939 four-door Chevrolet se
dan, had a tendency to lock when
the brakes were applied, this pro
bably causing the accident. The
vehicle is thought to have turned
over lengthwise.
The accident victim's death was
caused by concussion of the brain
and severe back and chest injuries.
There will be no inquest.
Mr. Lennox will be buried with
full military rites, members of the
American Legion and Veterans of
Foreign Wars officiating. Inter
termcnt will be in the Episcopal
church cemetery.
He is survived by his mother,
Mrs. Owens, his stepfather, Mr.
Owens, a brother, Arthur, of Cor

Lou, at home.
Mr. Lennox worked with his fa
ther at Owens grocery store, Turn

Law Repealed
On Limitation
Of Boat Length
Oyster Dealers Appear Be
fore Committee; Salter
Path Dispute Settled
The commercial fisheries com
mittee repealed Friday the law li
miting the length of power boats
used in taking oysters to 32 feet.
Now there is no limit whatever.
Capt. George Clark, of Belhaven,
pointed out that the width of some
32 foot boats make it possible for
these to carry more than a 45-foot
boat, which under the former law
oyster dealers were not allowed to
use.
He remarked further that ther
Is already a limit on the size of
dredge, a more vital factor in con
trolling the number of oysters
taken than the carrying capacity
of the boat. Dredges are limited
to 100 pounds.
There were complaints also that
all dealers are not cooperating in
the state's oyster shell program. It
was reported that Hodges Broth
ers, of Belhaven, did not turn over
to the state their share of shells
and it was further stated that this
concern is preparing to sell its oys
ters in Virginia, thus depriving the
state of tax revenue.
The matter was referred to the
executive committee for action.
The dealers heard from Dr. A. F.
Chestnut who explained what the
tnf is ilnina In inrrvasa nvitur
production in North Carolina. The
dealers were urged to create sen
timent for the program in their
various localities so that wide
spread cooperation will result.
