B. J. May, PMA office manager in Carteret County, urged local farmers to participate in the con servation practices outlined for the State and help build up production reserves in the soil. "This way," said Mr. May, "should the need arise for expanded production of agricultural products in the future, our farms will be ready." Mr. May said the ACP is open to all farmers and during 1054 will "eentfaMie to assist them in pre venting soil loss through erosiot and in returning depleted lands to productivity. Practices to be stress ed next year are of an enduring or permanent nature. Most prac tices available in 1954 are available on an 'initial' or 'one time only* basis." The State PMA committee chair man, G. T. Scott, said, "When our farmers carry out conservation practices under this program, they are cooperating with farmers throughout the nation. The prac tices are not regular farming op erations, but are essential conser vation measures which require ad ditional effort and capital and would not normally be carried out by the farmer alone. For this rea son the government shares their cost with participating farmer." The practices to be carried out in North Carolina, Scott said, have been carefully selected by farmers with the assistance of expert agron omists, soil specialists and farm leaders. Carteret farmers who did not re quest financial sasistance at the recent community meetings should contact Mr. May at the PMA office, second floor of the post office building, Beaufort.

Supreme Court Dismisses Case Mrs. Nellie Richardson Cooke Loses Long Legal Battle to Save Home Mrs. Nellie Richardson Cooke, one-time school principal, got a "no" from the Stale Supreme Court that was as determined as she her self was to fight sale of the Rich ardson house, Ann street, Beaufort. The Supreme Court decision was handed down at Raleigh last week With an opinion but a page and a half long, the court dismissed the efforts of Mrs. Cooke who. scorning the advice of lawyers, had moved from Beaufort to Raleigh to fight her legal battles. Mrs. Cooke's main concern is the fate of her family home place at Beaufort. Losing her legal fight at almost every step of the way, she had bombarded the high court with spoken and written words. Confers with Officials Filing paper after paper, confer ring endlessly with Court Clerk Adrian Newton and the justices of the court, she managed what pur ported to be an appeal to tb? Su preme Court. Last week the court, in words of patient firmness, pushed it aside. The Town of Beaufort and Car teret County had, it seems, put up the Richardson home place for sale because of long non-payment of taxes. Mrs. Cooke resisted and a court fight moved all the way to Raleigh several years ago. She lost and the sale proceeded. Since then, the funds left over See MRS. COOKE, Page 2 Polio Chapter Chairman Names Campaign Director The Carteret Business and Professional Women's Club will conduct the 1954 March of Dimes in Carteret County, Mrs. Gehrmann Holland, chairman of the Carteret County Infantile Paralysis Chapter, announced today. Directing the campaign will be Miss Ruth Peeling, Beau fort, past president of the B&PW^ " Club, and editor of THE NEWS TIMES Thad Eure, secretary of state who is the State March of Dimes chair man, said yesterday, "Miss Peeling is well qualified to do an outstand ing job in mobilizing Carteret County for this most crucial March of Dimes campaign in the history of the National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis." Pointing out that during this past summer more than 30,000 boys and girls of Caldwell, Catawba and Avery counties received free inoc ulations of gamma globulin, Mr. Eure expressed his confidence that the people of North Carolina will demonstrate their gratitude by giv ing more generously than ever be fore. The fund raising drive will open Jan. 2 and continue through the month. Basil O'Connor, president of the National Foundation, in a letter to Miss Peeling, emphasized the need for an all-out effort this year. "The Foundation is now in a new era," writes O'Connor. "Research has given us gamma globulin, a tem porary immunizing agent against paralytic polio. At tremendous cost, we have done all in our power to increase the supply of this precious fluid. And even as demands for gamma globulin have grown by leaps and bounds, comes word that an experimental vaccine is on the way. "Such a vaccine may be ready for large-scale field studies before the next polio season. And we must continue to assure financial assist ance to the thousands of persons who are now recovering from the disease as well as those who may contact it in the future," he added. The March of Dines in Carteret County has been conducted by the BliP W Club for the paft two years. Raised last year was $6,300. Members of the B4PW Club will serve as directors of the various money-raising events, Miss Peeling , said. "How successful these events are and the extent to which Carteret can continue to help its polio vic tims depends, as always, on the generosity of Carteret folks," Miss i Peeling commented yesterday. , In Rip Van Winkle Land Travel Through Hudson River Country Brings Scenic Thrills Highway Patrol Starts Use of 'Civilian' Cars Members of the Stale Highway Patrol ara now travelling the highways In "civilian" cars as well as the marked black and sil ver automobiles.

At Haverstraw we had our first view of the mighty Hudson River. Since Henry Hudson sailed the Half Moon up the river in 1609, travelers have admired the scenery of the Hudson and compared it favorably with other (treat rivers of the world. Grandeur accom panies the stream throughout its course from a small Adirondack pond. Lake-of-the-Clouds, on the shoulder of Mount Marcy, 300 miles southward to Manhattan. Our route northward was close to the river until reaching Albany. From there we turned inland for Saratoga Springs and Lake George. At Ticonderoga we turned south, following the eastern border of the state, picking up the Hudson River again at Hudson Falls. The river will be with us along its east shore until we cross the Bear Mountain Bridge to take the highway which will put ui in Han cock where the two branches of the Delaware River meet. We will follow the Delaware to our first crossing of it at New Hope. Pa. Heading up the Hudson from Haverstraw, along the Palisades, we noticed a marker directing one to Stony Point. We turned in to a small park which proved to be the site of a fort erected by the British in 1779. Later the fort was captured by General Anthony Wayne, but the Americana, being unable to hold the place, destroyed the fortification. The usual mu seum in connection with such his toric sites, contained many relics of interest View from Mountains In this same vicinity the State of New York has given the public a wonderful playground known as Bear Mountain Park. This unit, with several" others under the head of the Palisade interstate Park system, offers a wide variety o< recreational feature*, aa well w W? Wiln and uoiocy exhibita. A scenic drive to the top of Bear Mountain gives a striking view of the Hudson River and the Hudson Highlands. Of the two training academies maintained by the government, Annapolis and West Point, the lo cation of the West Point Military Academy commands one of the most beautiful and imposing sitea one could conceive of. Any attempt on our part to de scribe the location and layout of this Academy would be very frail. Standing near the Cadet Chapel, high on a hill dominating the 13, 000 acre reservation, there lays before you a view of buildings, highlands and river, said to have no equal in the world. We had a moat delightful visit with the Milton Perrys. Mr. Perry was curator at Fort Macon for over a year. He has a fine position as curator of history in the West Point Museum. Under his guidance we made a complete tour of the grounds, library, chapel and mu seum. In the short time he haa been associated with the museum he has obtained a fine knowledge of the various exhibits. He made our tour of more than usual inter eat.

The Dalmatians, who were quite at home on their yacht, the Truant, wagged out a code saying they and the Baileys were on their way South to spend the winter at Au Gaillie, Fla. The Dalmatian is also known as the coach dog. But Boatswain and Laura were right at home on the water. Perhaps that's because the original Dalmatians, a Slavic speaking people, were largely sea men who lived along the coast of the northern Adriatic sea. Nine County P.T.A.

East Carolina Methodists Will Meet Tomorrow Conference Will Elect First New Secretary In 30 Years Rocky Mount, N. C. ? The Meth odists of Eastern Carolina are pre paring for the annual session of the North Carolina Conference to open at the Duke Memorial Methodist Church, Durham, tomorrow. The conference will close Sunday, Nov. 1. Bishop Paul N. Garber will pre side. The election of the first new sec retary of the Conference in 30 years will highlight the session and is creating widespread interest among Methodists. The new secre tary will succeed the late Dr. Thomas N. Grant of Rocky Mount who served in this position for 30 years and had just been re-elected for a quadrennium before his death early this year. The Commission on World Ser vice and Finance has just released its tentative report totalling over $1 million This represents an in crease of 12 per cent over last year, or $114,000, and will be one of the most important considerations of the session. The increase is designed to bene fit Methodist Orphanage in Ra leigh, which cares for 285 children, the new Methodist Retirement Home in Durham, the Golden Cross Hospital Fund and the Church Extension program of the Church. Funds will also go for the support of 58 retired ministers and 97 widows of ministers. Included in the College Sustaining Fund is support for a proposed new phase of educatioflAl work at Louisburg College to tic this Institution to the rural churches of the Conference. Also included is support of Camp Don Lee at Arapahoe where 1,000 Methodist youth benefit each sum mer; and the Minimum Salary Fund of the Conference with the ultimate objective of providing a minimum salary of $3,600 for each married minister with family. The report also includes sufficient funds in the Conference Expense Fund to provide for a Conference Treasurer's office with a full time treasurer. Due to the general growth of Methodism, the expansion will be financed by an increase of only one per cent in applied percent ages. In addition to the budgeted items the Conference is laying great stress on special gifts and offer ings for the building of new churches within the Conference and for the relief of human suf fering and foreign missions.
