BREAK MORALE OF
BRITAIN’S SEAMEN
Windsor Talks To 4 Sail
ors Who, Collectively, Have
Lost 7 Ships
Baltimore, Oct. 22. To four
British seamen who collectively
have had seven ships shot from
under them the Duke of Windsor
declared here, that “they can
sink our ships, but they can't
break our spirits.”
“Men like you will go on fight
ing, no matter what the odds,”
the Duke asserted during the last
of three visits on a tour of war
relief agencies.
During the brief call with his
Duchess at the British Seamen’s
Institute, the former King chat
ted with veterans who had seen
him on World War battlefields,
with boyish cadets, with marines
of merchantmen gun crews and
with seamen from vessels in Bal
timore for repairs.
The Duke was more interested
in the home of Joseph Reddall,
here aboard a British passenger
ship which twice struck minds in
an English harbor, than in Red
dall’s story.
The 6,00-ton liner was taking
on cargo in Manchester early this
Summer. At night German planes
dropped mines by parachute and
when the ship left her pier next
day she touched one off.
“We got her tied up. There she
stayed for five weeks while they
patched her up to bring her ov
er here. Then as we pulled down
the river, she hit another one of
the blasted things and we went
back for six more weeks. She
finally limped across, even with
a big hole in her side.”
Reddall joined that ship in
Manchester after being brought
home from Freetown, West As-

rica, off which his former ship,
the 7,472-ton liner Eumaues, was
torpedoed after a two-hour fight
at dawn last January 14,
“Her guns put us in pretty bad
shape and she got to us with a
torpedo. We had to jump for it.
The lifeboats were smashed . . .
there were a good many'of the
500 aboard wounded ... I was in
water 10 hours ’til some* naval
craft picked us up . , . about half
of us were saved.”
(Ihe Italian High Command
reported, without details, that
the Eumaeus sank with a load of
troops after a sharp fight with
a submarine.)
At Reddall’s side when the
Duke greeted 50-odd British sea
men was Martin Brennan. Wind
sor and he talked mostly about
Scotland not about the three
ships which went down under
Brennan.
“Would you believe it?” Bren
nan asked. “Everyone of the men
on these ships was saved.”
Brennan said that was prob
ably due to the fact that two—
the 4,544-ton Jevington Court,
mined February 25, 1940, and the
4,915-ton Arlington Court, tor
pedoed last January—went down
in the North Sea “where o>ur
boys are pretty busy.” Crewmen,
of the third, which he identified
as the Aylesworthy, a vessel of
about 5,000 tons, were picked up
almost immediately by other
ships in a convoy attacked by
submarines 300 miles off Ireland
last June 9, he added.
Little Fred Muir was one of
10 survivors of the 34-man crew
of the 5,671-tonner Box Hill, “tor
pedoed the last day of 1940 in the
North Sea.”
“I guess I’m a lucky fellow,”
Muir mused. “I was on the Stan
dard Oiler John D. Archimwld
when she was sunk in 1917.”
Declaring “it was nothing that
I was rescued from a ship,” the
fourth man declined use of his
name or that of his former ves
sel.

Dairymen Asked
To Increase Supply
The greatest need for increas
ed production under the nation’s
gigantic food-for-defense pro
gram in 1942 lies in the field of
dairying, says John A. Arey, ex
tension dairyman of N. C. State-
College.
Yet existing facilities for pro
duction in relation to probable
needs indicate that dairy farm
ers of the country face a differ
ent task in meeting the national
1942 production goal of 125,000.-
000,000 pounds, an increase of 7
percent over the 117,000,000,000
pounds expected to be produced
in 1941.
However North Carolina farm-;
ers will find the demand not too
difficult to meet, since they have
been asked to increase produe- I
tion by only 4 percent. This year
it is estimated that Tar Heelj
cows will give 1,462,000,000
pounds of milk. Next year their
goal has been set at 1,520.000,000.
At the same time North Caro-
j linians have been asked to add
j 10,000 milk cows to their herds
1 next year. Cow population this
year is estimated at 380,000.
Next year, the Government has
asked that it be jumped to 390 -
000.
The State College specialist
pointed out that better feeding
hnd management should bring
North Carolina up to its 1942
goal with no trouble. He express
ed confidence that cow owners
of this State would heed Govern
ment's request and try to do then
part in this national defense ef
fort.
Much of the expected increase
will be used at home to improve
the health of American citizens,
while additional large amounts
will be shipped overseas to the
j British through the Lease-Lend
Act.

j QUESTION: How does the feed
'situation stack up this fall?
| ANSWER, R. H. Ruffner, head
'of the State College Animal In
dustry Department, says the ex
] eellent crop of corn silage recent
|Jy harvested in most sections of
the State will go a long way to
ward decreasing feed bills this
winter. Indications are that more
c-'-rn silage was put up this year
| than ever before. Then, too,
; many silos have been filled with
j soybeans, lespedeza, and grass,
j Farmers looking for corn might
! investigate the tremendous sup

Carolina, that section producing
one of its heaviest crops.
QUESTION: How long should
sweet potatoes be cured?
ANSWER: Proper temperature
and moisture conditions are es
sential factors in the keeping of
sweet potatoes. The tempera
ture for curing should be 80 to
85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the
sprc-uts begin to appear, the po
| tatoes are cured. This usually re
i quires about two weeks. After
curing, the storage temperature
should be kept at 50 degrees, and
never allow d to get below 40
degrees.

Tough Time For
Canvas Kissers
It isn’t easy for boxing cham
pions to kiss the canvas, even
when its’ in their motion picture
contract!
Freddie Steele, former world's
middleweight champion who was
signed by Republic to do one of
the fight scences with Billy Conn
in “The Pittsburgh Kid,” could
n’t seem to get knocked out real
istically. After seveteen takes he |
still did a half-hearted fall.
It took Billy Conn himself,
who had previously been taught I
how to kiss the canvas real- -
istically by Director Jack Town- j
elly, to instruct Steele in the art
of simulating a kayo.
“The Pittsburgh Kid” opens |
Thursday at the Dolly Madison
Theatre. Jean Parker has the'
leading feminine role opposite
