Parson said Daniels told him he was either going to go to his quar ters aft or board one of the barges the tug was towing.

Smyrna Seniors - To Present Play Tuesday Night Smyrna seniors will present their annual play at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. Dec. 18, at the school auditorium. The drama, a comedy in three acts, was written by Jay Tobias and re lates the story of the Prescotts, a prosperous middle class family. Leaper. the papa, is an architect who builds dream .houses. Eleanor, his wife, rules the roost, however. When the Prescott's learn that Leaper's rich, eccentric Aunt Molly Cain is visiting all her kin in turn with the object of leaving her for tune to the most needy nephew, Elinor commands that the Pres cotts must play poverty-stricken. Wildly hilarious situations develop as the Prescotts unwittingly ma neuver themselves into side-split ting predicaments when Aunt Mol ly arrives. How Leaper finally becomes the head of his family and Elinor takes a back seat forms a delightful cli max to the comedy. In the cast are 14 seniors: Greta Lawrence, Weston Earl Wil lis, Barbara Fulcher, Henry Allen Brooks, Callie Bland, Annie Brown Gaskill, Joyce Fulcher, Lonnie Guthrie, Martha Davis, Jannette Wade, Jean Lewis, Margaret Davis, Ernest Hill, and Albert Wolfe.

T. Spivey, chairman of the county Christ mas seal sale. ? The Editor.) It was the dream of a young couple in Carteret county to have a lighted Christmas tree in the window of this lovely white unfin ished home. The owner had a good job. he was in love with a wonder ful girl, happiness seemed just ahedd, but this homeowner will spend this Christmas fighting tu berculosis. The message in this window, a TB Christmas seal poster, does not radiate Christmas cheer, yet it tells us a story, something that all of us must do and that is to "Fight Tuberculosis." TB Strikes Everywhere Tuberculosis can strike any per son, any time, any place. The death rate is higher among the people* whose economic status is low, than among the well fed and well housed. Yet many wealthy people have died with TB. Although tuberculosis is most common in the city slums, it is an important problem in many rural areas. The death rates arc not dropping in rural districts as fast as they should; educational, case finding and treatment facilities are not as good as they are in many cities. Tuberculosis kills more people in the United States than all other infectious diseases combined. Tuberculosis killed approximate ly 40.000 persons in the United States in 1049, at the rate of 100 persons a day, one person every 13 minutes. It Is first among dis eases as a cause of death in the United Stales in the age group from 15 to 35. TB can ? and does ? kill at all ages. Tuberculosis attacks about 100, 000 person- a y?ar. Thus 400,009 f,*er. ons wh have no tut** Ukitfc' today will have the disease a year from now. X-Rays Essential If you are 15 or older, you should have a chest X-ray every year. If you know that you have been ex posed to TB you should have check ups more often than once a year.

For two petty larceny counts, concerning Leary's Store for Men and Webb's clothing shop, Shepard and Saunders each received sus pended sentences of six months on the roads plus $25 fines and court costs, provided they remain on good behavior and report to the probation officer as often as he directs.
