'president ol the Standard Net Manufacturing co. in a letter congratulating Braxton Adair on his election as chamber president. After congratulating the new chamber president. Laskcr stated: "We believe it is appropriate at this time t o inform you and the chamber ot the excellent coopera tion and achic\ement performed b> Mr. Pan Walker in our behalf. We are of the firm belief that much ol the work that is being done h> the chamber and Dan Walker is not generally known to many members ??t the chamber and ve feel that this good woijv should be recognized and brought before all the members. "For the past year we have been desirous of expanding our activi ties which required considerable factory space but we were unable to obtain the necessary location. > About six months ago, Dan Walker : yoluntaril.N offered his services and those of the chamber to assist us. We are happy to report that lie was instrumental in getting for us our present location in Beaufort and lias, in every way. been helpful to us, securing many facilities which we could not obtain." In closing Lasker enclosed a check for a third chamber member- 1 ship and mentioned that his firm was paying a payroll of more than $50,000 a year and would probably increase this amount in coming months.

Investigation is still in process I on the death of Cpl. Thomas .1 . ! Garcia. USMC, who died Sunday night in a water filled steam pit j in front of his barracks at Cherry Point. Corporal Garcia, -1 years old, was a member of Marine Fiji liter squadron 122. The steam pit, approximately H by 12 feet and 10 feet deep, is one of many located on the station according to the public information office. Steam valves in the pits are used to control the flow of steam to the various buildings While these pits are usually dry, due to the recent heavy rains there was several feet of water in this particular pit, heated to .a .high degree by the steam pipes. Al though the pit usually had a wood en cover, it was washed away by the rain. Called for Help Cries for help attracted 'many ot Garcia's fellow servicemen. Pic. Billy It. Smith. 15SMC, was held by Ins ankles and lowered into the pit. but was unable to pull out, 'the victim. S/Sgt. William H. Chariot, n . I'SMCK. from Seattle. Wash., who is here on 15 days' training duty, also made an ?it tempt to rescue Garcia. He went down a ladder into the pit and several times grasped the victim only to he forced to release him due to the extreme temperature of the steam heated water. Chariot received third degree burns and was treated at the Station Dispensary. I ircnien Recover Body Garcia passed away before lie could be rescued by station lire men who pumped the water from the pit and then sent in a man dressed in an asbestos suit. Coporal Garcia reported to this station from Guam in March ol this year. lie served in the 'Corps over 1 years. His decorations in eluded the Asiatic Pacific Cam paign.

A special guest at the meeting was Claudette James, Miss More head City of 1950, who competed in the Miss North Carolina pageant ,it Wilmington last week.

Many Have Deslroyed Ex cess; Olhers Must Do So FMA Ofiicer Says Since completion of measure ment of tobacco allotments by the county Production Marketing ad ministration office July 1, it has been discovered that a large per centage of the farms measured overplauted their allotments, it i was disclosed yesterday. 15. .1. May, secretary of the coun ty t'MA office, said yesterday that almost ;i majority of those farms measured had overplanted. but. many of these farmers have al ready destoyed their excess. .Nevertheless, the PMA officer j stated, some confusion still exists | concerning the procedure nccess j ar> tor having excess crop on other farms destroyed. \ deposit to cover the costs of destroying the crop should be made j with the County l'MA office. When 1 this is done, a representative of the county l'MA committee will ! then . i ssist in disposing the ex 1 cess. I'M is procedure must be done before or by the time a mark- ! etiiiL- sales card is delivered to the t;irmer and a member of the ! county committee, and not a com munity committer member, must j assist mi destruction of the crop. I lie emphasized. Preparation of tobacco sales i cards will begin in the county of- 1 lice the first ot next week. Mr. May continued. Farmers who have planted in excess of their allot- 1 merits, who have not yet declared ; their intention as to the disposition 1 of the excess, should notify the county office immediately iti ord- ' ei- that there may not be any delay in preparation of the cards, he concluded.

Tobacco luirmers Eligible For 45/Cent Support Loan Rate I in* average Federal price sup port loan rale for flue cured tobac co of the 1950 crop is 413 cents per pound, the Carteret county com mittee of the Production and Mar ketlng administration announced today. The average rate for the I iM!) crop was 411. 3 cents per pound. 4 "This rate is DO percent of the parity price for flue cured tobacco as of .July 1, IO.jO. the level rpquir ed by the Agricultur.il Act of 1940." Sam D. Edwards, commit tee chairman, points out. Mr. Edwards reports that the. schedule of 1950 loan rates, by grades, has beep established by the Commodity Credit corporation aft er consultation with representative r rowers. PMA committeemen and the trade, in a recent meeting at Richmond. The. schedule will be available for inspection in all coun ty and State PMA offices in the Hue -cured area after .July lb. The chairman says that as in the past, price support will be made available during the marketing season to "eligible" growers on "eligible" tobacco on auction floors throughout the flue cured area. The warehousemen, who advance the grower the proceeds of the loan, is reimbursed by the Flue cured Tobacco Cooperative Stabili ization cooperation at Kalcigh, with funds borrowed from the Commod ity Credit corporation, he explains. "An eligible' grower," says Mr. I Kd wards, is one who is cooperat linn in the 1950 crop which (1) is I covered by a "Within Quota" mar keting quota card issued by the County PMA Committee, (2) is in ' sound and merchantable condition, j (3) is delivered by the original | grower to an auction market in the j Hue-cured area for display, inspec tion and sale, and (4) is free and j clear of any and all liens and en I ( umbra nccs. After all tobacco of the 1950 crop pledged to CCC for loan by the ! Hue-cured cooperative has been marketed, any net gains will be I distributed by the cooperative to the growers who placed the tobac to under loan, Mr. Edwards points ; out. Auditor Arrives I- H.

Both men. lVte Fulford of Beau fort and George Brown of New Bern. Negroes, had been employ-: ed as laborers on the const ruction | of the new telephone office in Morehead City. Evidence unearth j ! ed by police led them to suspect j Fulford and Tuesday afternoon Of licers Herbert Griffin and Bill Bowles went to sec him. Bowles stayed in the police car while Griffin went to the rear en trance to the room in the tele phone building where Fulford was working He asked it Fulford was there and was told that he was. Before Griffin could enter the room both men. who had been told "The cops are here!" made a hasty exit from a side entrance and by the time the police officer entered the room and discovered their ab sence* they had made a successful escape.
