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. Two misunderstandings must be See HECTOR.
