THAT'S SUMK Sill < MV
It's Clamming Season
Down Williston Way
Thirty-three women shucked 747
gallons of clams in three and one
half hour;, (he Saturday morning
before last in the Willie Brothers
Seafood plant at Willisto.i.
That's some shucking'
Om; of the womc" shuckcr4. m
gallons, for lugl core, another 17
gallons, for low score.
Most inlanders can't open one
cf-un in under five minutes and,
to do that, they have to clamp the
clam hi a steel vise and use ham
mer and chisel. And just hope
they get something out of the shell
after all that work.
A gallon of shucked clams is the
net result usually of three pecks
of clams and a peck of clams in
the Willistun section usually counts
about 100.
Thus the 33 women opened ap
proximately 224,100 clams during
the three and half hours, and the
woman who shucked 30 gallons
handled about 0.000 clams, or 412 1
a nunute.
The record day at Willi Broth j
en> clanihouse was 1.860 gallons
shucked in seven hours.
The Heinz company buys the
entire dam output. U.bOO gallons
at a time, which the Willis brothers
ship in their own refrigerator
truck to the Heinz Pittsburgh plant
More than $100,000 will be paid
out to shuckers and clam diggers
during the spring clam season by
the Willis brothers, Elmer and
Wesley, who, besides cngagm?; in
the clam business, operate a
trawler, a menhaden boat, and
buy and sell all types of fish. Oh,
and also operate Williston's gro
cery store.

Rector Speaks
To Rotarians
Th?* Kev W. f Martin, recto*
of St. Paul FpiscOpal church,
spoke on the Master season Tues
day night ;?f the Beaufort Rotary
club meeting at the Inlet Inn.
During the business session Mr
Martin was appointed chairman
of the international relations com
mittee and Dr. \V A Chipman
chairman of the United Nations
committee.
Mr. Martin dealt with his suK
oil from the standpoint of his
| church in the Lenten period, lead
ing up to faster. Then he traced
the development of the Easter ob
servance and told how it is ob
served today in Palestine A
brief summary of his talk follows: ,
In understanding the meaning of j
Eastei we have to understand the j
historical setting into which the
first Faster came The events on j
Easter morning for the first cen
tury Christians "was the natural
order of things being broken be
fore their very eyes."
In the Psalms and from other
sources in the Old Testament, wc
learn that the Hebrews did under
stand the natural order, for we
learn that first of ail there was
plant life, later fish and birds,
animals, then man. This was the
natural order to which they had
been accustomed. Then God re
vealed to them that they were a
chosen people and to them a rev
alation of the perfect man, the
Messiah, the Anointed One would
come and dwell among them
In due time, Christ came into
the world. He was their Messiah,
their hope of redemption On Good
Friday, when He was crucified, all
of these hopes were gone; there
fore. history was at Its lowest ebb.
One cannot imagine the joy these
first century Christians experi
enced on Faster morn when the
news was spread about that Christ
had arisen from the dead, and that
he had been seen by Mary and
the disciples.
Their real joy was not so much
o\er the fact that Christ had risen,
but over the fact that God's will,
tor mankind bad not been broken.
"Because \ live," said Jesus, "Ye;
shall live also. This is the great
message of sood news oi the Gos
pel.
