THAT BACKBONE
OF YOURS
By Dr. R. O. Barnum
Morehead City, N. C.
Excerpting from an article by
George Matthew Adams under
the title, "That backbone of
yours." in a recent issue of the
Toledo. Ohio, Blade, we find:
"The backbone is undoubtedly
the most wonderful human
highway, in all this world! It
holds up the man, culminating
its most important office by
helping him to keep his head on
straight."
"Break this bony structure
and it's often fatal. Even a bad
injury is most serious. But what
a noble piece of architecture it
is in health. It is tragic that
some men abuse it as they do,
and women as well. Keep it up
standing and half the battle is
won in advance. Upon it is
perched the noblest creation of
the great Creator man's head,
within which destinies of na
tions often are pivoted. And
here are centered all the mighty
elements of the mind."
Study the structure of this re
markable example of engineer
ing on the part of the Creator.
Note how each section of its en
tire length has an office to per
form. Nerves, fiborous tissue,
and bony structure, as well as
its canal of precious fluid have
an effect upon the entire body
that is little realized But just
let any part of its make-up get
out of order and it is noticed
plenty."
What a gift you have in that
backbone of yours. "Keep it well
in order. You can never get an
other.

Used Car Deals
Raleigh ? The Motor Vehicles
Department today issued a direc
tive to its field agents to be on the
lookout for cars and trucks being
offered for sale with concealed or
altered identification numbers.
Motor Vehicles Commissioner
Edward Scheidt took steps to stop
the practice of concealing identifi
cation numbers which some per
sons and firms are reported to be
doing.
The practice stems from what
has been called "car bootlegging,"
Scheidt said. Some firms reported
selling used cars and representing
them as new cars are allegedly
concealing the numbers to prevent
identification.
Scheidt indicated the Depart
ment of Motor Vehicles had no
interest in the so-called bootlegging
other than the wilful altering or
concealing of identification num
bers.
He said the law clearly covers
his action in ordering the practice
stopped. The Motor Vehicle Man
ual states in part that it is . . .
"unlawful to alter, cover, remove
or conceal the identification num
bers of a motor vehicle or to be
in possession of or offer for sale
any motor vehicle with the identi
fication numbers altered, removed,
covered or concealed."
Scheidt also said that some firms
were not giving purchasers title
papers with the seller as owner of
the vehicle. He pointed out this
too is a violation of registration
laws.
Scheidt has instructed motor ve
hicle agents to be particularly
watchful of persons and firms sus
pected of such practices.

Ottawa (AP) ? A 10-man sur

the remote arctic community of
Aklavik on the MacKenzie River
delta 70 miles aoutii of the Arc

The 42-year-old settlement, larg
est in the Canadian arctic, is in
danger of sinking through melt
ing permafrost. Summer heat,
ground warmth created by build
ings and excavations and roads
turn the present permafroat ter
rain into a quagmire.
Lack of an adequate year-round

system has created a serious health
problem for the 400 whites, 250 Es

Mr. Swindell. Later the bell served
as a fire alarm, placed in front of

location it passed into oblivion.
Taken Over by Soldiers
This house of worship had a
short life, for the building was tak
en over by the Federal forces
following the invasion and capturc
of Fort Macon in April 1862. It
was used as a bakery during the
three years that the troops were
in the town and county. Soldiers
are said to have destroyed the
building when ready to leave the
town after the close of hostilities.
It was either burned or torn down.
During the invasion and a few
years following, religious services
werfr held in some of the larger
homes. After the completion of a
school building on the corner of
9th and Bridges streets, services
were held in that building.
In the early days of Morehead
City religious services were con
ducted from time to time by cir
cuit preachers as well as lay
preachers. Preachers from the
New Bern circuit, established in
1797, worked through Eastern
North Carolina, serving the small
communities until regular stations
were established in the larger
towns, giving such societies a res
ident pastor.
One of the early circuit preach
ers serving the Morehead City So
ciety was the Rev. N. M. Jerney,
residing at Newport. He conduct
ed monthly meetings in the town
for several years. Mention is
made of a lay preacher, Jones by
name, living on Crab Point who
conducted services, performed
marriages and officiated at funer
als.
As the town took on new life and
development following the recon
struction period after the close of
the war, the demand arose for sep
arate places of wor&hip among the
church organizations. In 1879 the
Methodist society had grown strong
enough to undertake the building
of a house of worship. Two lots,
the site of the present church, were
given the society by the Shep
ard Point Land Co. By the fall of
1879 the building was enclosed so
that meetings could be held there
in.
The records of the New Bern dis
trict show that the Rev. J. E. Bris
tow, who was in charge of the Car
teret circuit, was the first pastor to
serve the membership in it's new

building. Until 1883 the church was
served by several different circuit
preachers. It was during this year
that the Rev. C. W. Byrd was given
charge of the Carteret circuit.
Under the leadership of Mr. Byrd
the church reached its membership
strength that' entitled it to be rec
ognized by the conference as a
station with the services of a full
time pastor. This change took place
at the 1884 conference. Mr. Byrd
was relieved of his circuit duties,
devoting his entire efforts to the
work of the M. E. Church, South,
of Morehead City.
It is not known when a claim was
made to the Government for the
damages done the small church
structure. Quite likely such a claim
was made about the time of the
starting of the new building. That
being the case it took 36 years to
collect the debt.

Mulches Retain Moisture,
Keep Down Garden Weeds
By ROBERT SCHMIDT
Arc you getting tired of run
ning the cultivator and wielding
the hoe in your garden in a losing
oattle with weeds and graas? Why
not uae a mulch?
It la surprising how few gardens
make use of mulches as an aid in
the conaervation of moisture and
the control of weeds. A mulch may
be any material such as hay, straw,
strawy manure, leaves, leafmold,
peat, sawdust, pine straw, or paper,
which is put down on the ground
around plants for the purpose of
conserving moisture during the
hot, dry summer weather.
At the same time a mulch will
keep down most of the weeds. It
has been reported that one enter
prising gardener collected all the
cardboard boxes he could get at the
store, flattened them out, and put
them on the ground around his
plants as a mulch ? and the re
sults were excellent. I have used
regular mulching paper in my own
garden with good results. It even
?mothered out bermuda and nut
gran.
Many vegetablea, flowers, small
fruits and shrubs are good sub-,
jecta for mulching. Tomatoes,
peppers, eggplants, and cucumbers
may be mulched with straw, leaves
or paper. Azaleas, camellias, and
blueberries .which desire an acid
?oil may be mulched with sawdust,
leaf mold or put Bad raspberries,
dewberries, and grapes may be
mulched with straw or strawy ma
nure
In all cases the mulch should be
applied after the soil has been
well moistened by rain or irriga
tion If fertiliser is necessary it al
so should be applied before the
mulch Is laid down.
You will find that in small gar
dens s mulch will help solve many
of your cultural problems.
The United States had 06,900,000
tons of corn, oats and barley stored
in April, 1954, nearly 10 per cent
above the previous year's record.
