You know a woman would ratheh be dead than look like a back number, and the clothiers know this and cash in on it to the limit.’’ “Some of it is more than I can understand,” said the Drummer. “For instance why women’s clothes sell higher where there are so few women.” “That’s an easy one,” said the Old Stea Captain. “Wherever you find the most men, there you will find the women on their toes. A woman must always look her best; it is the most attractive ones who have their pick of the men, and they w’ill pay any price for charm, even thought it consists of rags Hyde Could Grow If Citizen? Would Plan And Work, Thinks Pfc. Gibbs The idea of post war planri : advanced in an editorial in the F b-1 ruary 17th issue of The Herald got a boost last week—and who fror.; but a soldier. Pfc. John D. Gibb- son of Mrs. S. M. Gibbs of En.gp’ hard, studying at the University o' Maryland, wrote the editor, a clos-^ friend, “What produced this lett r was your article on page one an! your editorial. Honest, T. E., I’w seen you side step' isues a lot sinm- ler than that “Modern store idea,” but the point is I agree in a big way with that and your editorial even more.” His letter went on: “You know as well as I do that as it stands Hyde is very close to . ruin. Now I’d be peeved to no end if some one else said that, but con-, 'idering what we might have and | what we’ve got, it’s pretty close to being the truth. “Hyde needs are great—^we’re just about 1918 as best I can make \ out. While I doubt if much can be ! done before the war ends—now is] the time to plan and organize. l “Do you think a farm organiza-1 tion is possible ? Ever looked at I the Grange? “I’ve spent quite a bit of time in the Library of Congress work ing on various angles for the fu ture. One of the most interesting angles I found were some experi ments run by the government on oyster culture in 1903. Wysocking Bay and Payne’s Bay—just noth ing about Fur Creek—were the lo cations. Quite a bit of success. “I’ll keep on checking on the te chnical side of the thing and if you can dig up something on organiza tion we’ll compare notes when I HYDE RED CROSS FUND DRIVE WILL BEGIN MAR. 10; QUOTA $2,200 THIS YEAR Community Leaders Have Been Named And Final Plans Are Being- Mapped; House-To- House Canvass Will Be Made; Quota Is $900 More Than It Was Last Year.

I Cross is asking The Hyde County Chapter of the Red Cross will begin a intensive campaign Friday, March 10, to raise $2,200 for the Red Cross War Fund. This is the largest sum it has ever attempted to raise. N. W. Shelton of Swan Quarter, who is leading the drive this year, said today plans had been made for the campaign, but that the minor details had not been worked out. A house to house canvas will be made. Community leaders have been named, but their neighborhood as sistants had not yet been obtained. They are Miss Lona Bonner, Swan Quarter, Mrs. S. S. Jennette, Sladesville, Mrs. E. J. Clayton, Ponzer, Mrs. R, F. Baynes, Fair- field, Rev. W. R. Dixon, Ocracoke, and Miss Blanch Tuten, "Fngelhard, These leaders and their assist ants will make a house-to-house 'canvas of the county. Each leader and helper will have a certain ter- titory to cover and they will visit every home in that territory. The quota of $2,200 is higher than any ever asked of Hyde be fore. This is because of the war, and the increasing magnitude of it makes need for more funds. Last year, even though we had been in the world struggle for more than a year, the quota was only $1,300, or $900.00 less than the quota- for 1944.

Citizens are invited to attend and express their opinions. The question of how to properly and advantageously advertise pub lic sales and notices, by publication or posting, has been a subject of much debate in Hyde County for many years. It flared up again last month when it was learned that Mrs. Maude Jones, tax com missioner in certain foreclosure suits sold land without advertising it in the county paper. Hyde County officials have de bated the question for many years. State laws of 1829 and 1939 re quire publication, but a local law of 1931 says it is unnecessary. The courts have not ruled definitely which way is proper, although when the county tried to stop pub lication by refusing to pay cost, in 1942 they failed. “If Hyde County goves over the gima and duty on board battleship top. citizens must make more than TV, Q 1 4V, 1 donations,” Mr. Shelton The Submanne School, the only, 53;^. «Some of us will have to one of Its kind m the Navy, is at- ^ake some five and ten dollar wchoTojtl "»• »• The school work takes pi nee not i only in classrooms and laborato- Mr. Shelton points to a state- ries, but also in numerous training I "nent by Geru Mark Clark, corn- submarines in which students mas-1 American Fifth ter the actual techniques of oper- j.
