The council decided to build and enter a 4-H float in the Morehead City and Beaufort Christmas parades. If their plans are not interrupted, and if it does not rain as it did during the County 4-H Fair and Achievement Day program, the big 4-H Anniversary Cake from the State Fair exhibit will be used as part of the float. Most of the 4-H Clubs in the coun ty will receive their project record books during their December meet ing. The first part of the Decem ber meeting will be a Christmas Program. (A suggested Christmas program will be mailed to each club president before their meeting day.) In the last two months a number of our 4-H club members have gone through and have participat ed in the County Fair, the State Fair, the County 4-H Fair and Achievement Day program, and Lions Honor Past Presidents More hud City Lions honored their past-president and ladies at dinner Thursday night at the Hotel Fort Macon. Present were past presidents Fred Lewis, Jesse Wil lis, Vernon Guthrie, J. G. Bennett, J. B. Eubanks, Owens Frederick, A. N. Willis, Jim Crowe and Oscar Allred. Ten-year membership chevrons (or club pins were presented to A. N. Willis, John D. Willis, Oscar Allred and Jim Crowe. Special guests at the dinner in cluded Beaufort Lions L. J. Hill, Harry Evans and Dick Peteraon and Kay Davis of Cameron, La. Members and their guests were entertained by three Morehead City high school girls who gave a comedy skit. Jim Wallace, of the Morehead City Civitan Club, acted as master of ceremonies. Hospital Thanks Donors of Blood David Willis, administrator of Morehead City hospital, this week expressed his appreciation to per sons who have answered emer gency calls for blood for hospital patients. On two occasions when calls have had to go out on short notice for blood, two lives were saved as a result of the response. On one occasion, a fisherman from upstate was saved. He need ed five pints of blood. Recently, three pints were obtained from donors when the blood was needed to save a patient who had under gone a leg amputation. The hospital tries to keep blood on hand, but when it is used and not replaced by the family which used it, emergency calls for blood must be made. Mr. Willis express ed the hospital's appreciation for the cooperation of donors who re sponded to the pleas. the Area Fair and Honor day pro gram. As you can see, this has been a busy time of year for 4-H club members. But I would like all 4-H mem bers to take time out to ask them selves this one question. What have 1 contributed to the.e activities and to 4-H Club work uiis year? If you have not contributed anything to the 4-H club, then the 4-H club probably has not contributed any thing to you, for we do not get something for nothing. Now is the time for you, as 4-H members, to start putting some thing into your 4-H club work and by doing so, next year your name may be on the list to receive an award or a certificate of achieve ment. I would like every 4-H club mem ber in this county to at least be present, if not enter an exhibit next year in at least one of the activi ties similar to those we have just experienced in the last two months and to be together and see and feel the cxcitement of 4-H members be ing awarded for their good work in 4-H. Why don't you join your fellow club members who are putting something into their 4-H club work, and next year at this time enjoy the fun and excitement with them? 16 Couples Get Licenses to Wed Marriage licenses were issued to 16 couples from Oct. 23 through Nov. 16.

How Does Your Garden Grow? By JULIA G. COPELAND ( Editor's Note : This is the last in a series of articles on garden ing written in conjunction with the Beaufort Woman's Club beau tification program). Here are some more questions and answers that I hope will help you in your gardening: How caa I get color In my gar den the year 'raaad? Continuous bloom from early spring until late fall is best ac complished by the careful selection of sturdy perennials, annuals and bulbs. For late fall and winter, plant sasanquas, camellias and berried plants, such as pyracan thas and hollies. It takes time and patience and I am quite sure that you will not always get the color scheme you want the first time, but keep moving plants, and study ing other people's gardens until you get the results desired. What is the moat important thing la grmriag healthy plants? Buy good stock to start with, then be sure the soil is well drain ed. Fertilize well, water during hot, dry months and keep mulched with cteaa leaves or straw. How am I supposed to cut for my perennials? Stake tall growing plants so that the wind won't blow them over; keep planta clean by cutting off dead flowers, leaves and foliage. Dig weeds out by the roots, pro tect from winter winds and sun by covering with straw or leaves. Di vide most perennials every two or three years ? and of course fer tilize and water when needed. When should perennials be plaited? Perennials may be set out most Iny time when the soil is work able, even when they arc in full bloom. Perennial seeds are usual ly sown in late May or early June. Caa I transplant a tree from the woods? Not very successfully. It i? hard to get a tree to live that has grown in the woods, because moat people do not know how to root prune and take up with a ball of dirt. Trees grown in the nursery and root pruned for transplanting are a great deal more satisfactory. When shoald ataleas he fertll laed? Once in late November, and then, since azalea* have a tendency to start growing early and are often killed back by late freezes, it ia beat not to fertilize any more un til about the first week in April. Then fertilize about every two weeks until mid-May, uaing a spe cial azalea fertilizer in small amuonts. Do I have to use a special fer tiliser for azaleas? No, if you have had your soil tested and it ia acid, you may use any good garden fertilizer. Peat moss and wooda mold will help make an acid soil for your azaleas. How caa I prevent die-back in ?jr camellias? Gather and burn all fallen leaves and flowers; keep plants in vigor ous and thrifty condition by prop erly feeding them; keep them pro tected from scale and insects by spraying and at the first sign of die-back, cut off and burn the dis eased stem. This is all 1 have time for now. In fact, I won't be writing any more articlea for the time being. This is the beginning of our busy aeaaon, but if any of you have a problem concerning any of your plantinga we'll be glad to help you if we poaalbly can. Call us on the phone or better still come on out to tht nursery. Bye now.

He capsized a mile off Cape Lookout, rode his boat ashore and spent Tues day night in the old light house at the cape. Bargy was taken to Harkers Island yesterday noon and from there he returned to Greensboro. According to the Coast Guard, Bargy was attempting a "test run" in a white-hulled, fibreglass boat, The Peanuts. He started from Hill's Motel Monday, but turned back after 40 miles because of rough weather. Bargy had flares aboard but didn't have a chance to u?e them. When he was picked up, after be ing washed ashore, he was wearing a yellow exposure suit. The Pea nuts was brought to the mainland by the Coast Guard. Bargy, 34, unmarried, said that he was trying a run to Wilmington to see how much fuel The Peanuts would use. He later planned to make a trip from here to Miami. He had aboard four 55-gallon drums of gas and one 15-gallon drum, hooked up in series. The craft was powered with a 40-horsepower motor. Mel West, a resident of Morchead City, attempted a trip to Bermuda in an outboard motor boat in 1957. On that trip he was rescued by the Coast Guard short of his goal. He attempted the trip again in January 1958 and since he was never heard from, after setting out from Morehead City, it is assumed that he was lost at sea. Mayor Proclaims Civil Defense Day Mayor A.

Beaufort Board Continues Planning for Sewage Disposal Red Cross Fund Tallies Trickle In Kinal figures on the Red Cross fund campaign ar? still not avail able but several chairmen have turned in incomplete totals. The dirvc was conducted Nov. 6-14. The Rev. W. A. Hales, Beaufort chairman, reported that Beaufort is assured of its $1,100 goal. He said they have $964.68 in hand and several area chairmen have not yet reported. He also said checks are expected from businesses who had to write to area headquarters for donations. James R.Sanderi, Morehead City chairman, reported that over $400 has been reported in his area. There are still some reports to be made and some businesses to be contacted. Newport reported a total of $40.23 and Harkers Island has reported about $300. Reported totals bring the figure to over $1,700, quite a bit below the $5,000 goal set prior to the fund drive. Persons who have not con tributed to the Red Cross fund may mail their contributions to Mr. Hales, Mr. Sanders or Herbert Phillips III of Morehead City, coun ty chairman. ' The Beaufort town board of com missioners Monday night adopted a resolution to proceed with appli cation for a permit from th? State Stream Sanitation Committee to continue dumping sewage as is done now, with no increase in the number of sewer comiections. The move was the initial formal step in the town's plans for build ing a new sewer system and sew age disposal plant which will cost in the neighborhood of one million dollars. Upon receipt of the permit from the state committee the board will then make application to the fed eral government for an interest free loan of $40,000 that will cover engineering costs in preparing plans for the new system. Town fathers last year authoriz ed Freeman Engineering Co., High Point, to proceed with preliminary plans for a sewage disposal plant in Beaufort. The town of Morehead City has authorized the same firm to make plans for Morehead. Under state anti-pollution laws, towns must show good faith in at temption to comply with the law, or run risk of prosecution. Carlton Rose, Beaufort PTA rep resentative, appeared before the board requesting action on the traffic problem at the Beaufort graded school. Mr. Kosc informed the board that the PTA had formed a parent safety patrol and wished action to give the patrol authority to enforce traffic regulations at their posts.
