Three years ago a fellow came
nto the studio, he introduced him
lelf as a writer from upstate who
was trying to learn something
ibout photography and would 1
lave time to look at some of his

good humor that particular day,
and not having much to do any
way, we talked, and in the pro
cess of talking, Penny and I sort
Df liked fhis guy and his lovely
wife, so as often happens we be
came friends, after a half a doz
en visits.
After lots of practice and lots
more advice this fellow is now a
pretty good photog, of course he
has always been a great writer.
Well anyway, guess who they
sent down here to handle pic
tures and publicity for Miss N.
C.? ? You guessed it brother,

a banana sandwich, some wit
sent me a complimentary chit
for a banana sandwich at the
M. C. Drug Store; sounds like
some of Ed Willard's doing. Al
so while walking by Sonny deer's

one of which looked suspiciously
like Sonny himself, hollered
some remark concerning banan
as. Ah, the power of the prow.
Believe I am going to write
something in the near future about
Cadalliacs, maybe Dive Davenport
will send me one; after all I got a
banana sandwich.
Life is like that department:
The shoemakers' shoes have
holes in them, the mechanic's car
won't run, and the other day I
needed ? picture of my ugly puss.
Of course I didn't have one. I

FHA Sets Up
$6 Million Budget
A $6,000,000 budget has been set |
up for the Farm Home Admini*
t rat ion in North Carolina this year,
according to Horace J. Isenhower,
state director of the FHA.
In the budget $5,000,000 is ex
pected to be spent on operating
loans this year and $1.000 000 is
expected to go in to real estate
loans.
Mr. Isenhower pointed out that
the FHA, whicji is currently serv
ing 9,000 families in North Caro
Una. is not in competition with any
lending agency.
He said. "We lend money to
farmers who can't get credit else
where. We supervise thefc line of
farming so that they will he paying
basis. After they get the farm
on a paying basis, then the farm
er ean get credit at banks and oth
er tending agencies.
"We make the farm families self
supporting and thereby make them ]
better and more useful citiiens,"
Mr. Isenhower explained.
Ralph W. Turner, FHA farm |
management specialist, stated that '
the FHA also heips farmers during I
emergencies.
"We loaned $6,000,000 last year ?
for operating expenses because of
the drought," he said.
When questioned about the bud
get being lower this year than the
budget of last year, Mr. Turner
said, "We set the budget but if we
need more money then we appeal
to the federal government. We
may need more money thifc year
than we have in the budget but we
have a great deal of lee-way and
can probably get the extra money
if we really need it."
He pointed out that North Caro
lina is third in the nation in the
amount of money appropriated for
the FHA.
Mr. Isenhower stated that there
are 62 supervisors for the 100
counties in North Carolina. Irvin
Robbins, New Bern, serves Carteret
as well as Craven County.

Refloating of Freighter
Starts Ownership Battle
Elizabeth City ? The Honduran
freight***. Omar Babun, ?freed last
week from the beach near Ho
danthe, went aground on a legal
ahoal when a $100,000 damage suit
was filed this week in United
States District Court at Norfolk.
The suit marked the beginning
of a legal tug-of-war between al
leged owners.
The ship, with a value estimat
ed at $200.0000. was attached with
a $100,000 libel filed by two of the
men. Elmer E. Sawyer, a diver,
and Olan Vance Bell, a mechanic,
whose work helped salvage the
wrecked ship off Cape llatteras.
They claim that E. Arnold Can
ipe vf Havelock, listed as present
owner of the freighter, agreed to
| keep all the profit from the salvage
oi the cargo and apply the same
to the purchase of the Omar Babun
in the name of and for the benefit
of Hell, Sawyer and Canipe.
The freighter went aground May
14.
Sawyer and Bell claim that
Canipe failed to abide by the
agreement, which was said to be
verbal, and is holding the vessel in
his own name. Sawyer and Bell
charged in their suit that they had
, been paid weekly salaries for the
two month period of salvage oper
ations on the promise that when
the ship was bought it would be in
the name of the three men.
The suit was filed by Harry E.
McCoy Jr.. of the law firm of
Hughes, Little and Seawell, and by
Attorney C. R. Wheatly Jr., of
Beaufort.
Deputy United States Marshal
Douglas M. Cotton attached the
ship at the Berkeley plant of the
Norfolk Shipbuilding and Dry
dock Co.
The law firm of Black, Vande
venter and Meredith is retained by
Canipe, and it is reported that
Canipe will fight any effort by the
two former salavage crewmen to
take the vessel and the $170,000
cargo.
It is reported that another suit
was filed in Federal District Court,
New Bern, of the Eastern District
of North Carolina, against the car
go. radio equipment and a gyro
compass which was removed from
the vessel. Attachment papers on
the cargo will have to be served
by the United States attorney in
Haleigh.
Settlement of the damage suit
in Norfolk Federal Court will like
ly be delayed until September
court. The status of the cargo *
on the bcach in North Carolina was
undetermined early this week.
