SPENCER COUNTRY THINGS The touch ot' country things is good : 'J tie feel of fireplace applewood. The wobbly coat of a u.and-new calf Whose sprawled legs make you want to laugh, A fluffy yellow chick, the shoulder Of a sonel colt, a rougu giay boulder When you climb the sweet-fein pasture hill. The tojch of country things will fill Vour hands with joy: tough blossoming weed, Koadside brambles, springtime seed, Tool handles smoothly worn, the leather Of harness, grass in rainy weather, The whetstone sharpening a scythe. The touch of country things is life: The fine warm feel of sun-warmed loam, Aud the latch that opens the door of home. Frances Frost in The Christian Science Monitor BEAUFORT-HYDE TOURNEY The Beaufort-Hyde basketball tolrney which was staged in Bel haven again this year was out standing for the fine spirit of sportsmanship demonstrated by all of the teams and players. Principal J. M. Dunlap and Coach Howarl Chapin of the Bel haven school, which played host to the other teams, are to be com mended, on the manner in which the event was conducted. Beaufort County school officials showed, too. a spirit of neighbor liness again in inviting the Hyde County teams to participate. The Hyde County schools, with only three teams, ate unable to spon sor their own tournament. Belhaven is the logical location for a Beaufort-Hyde tourney, be ing centrally located between Au rora to the South and Engelhard U U: North. Perhaps the com petition can become an annual event. DRUNK DRIVING The North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles reported this week that drunken driving convic tions were responsible for more than two-thirds of the revocations of driver's licenses in February. Of 713 persons who had their li censes i evoked. 496 had convic tions of drunken driving. Fifty seven of the persons who lost their licenses for drunken driving were convicted on second offense, it was stated. Persons who drive on the high ways under the influence of in toxicants are a menace to public safety and ought to be punished. OPPORTUNITY FOR FARMERS An interesting item released by the ne.es department of State Col lege tension Service concerns the g:o ving of Christmas trees commercially in Eastern North Carolina. According to W. G. Kelley, for estry specialist for the Extension Service, a large number of veterap farm trainees are becoming inter ested in growing red cedar. He says that while the State Nurs ery has exhausted its supply of seedlir.gs for this year, many of the veterans are' planning to get their orders in early for next year. It is stated that some veterans believe that they can make almost as much money per acre on Christmas trees as they can on to bacco or other field crops. They say that if western growers can ship trees in North Carolina and make a ptofit. they can grow the trees hf-re at a profit, especially since most purchasers feel that the red cedar Christmas tree is superior to the Douglas fir and other varieties being shipped in. Perhaps here is an opportunity to brinp some added dollars to the farmerf of this section. Anyhow, it seen:s to be something worth looking into as a neans of in creasing farm income. MRS. BAYNES CHAIRMAN OF HYDE COUNTY BOARD Mrs. ii. F. Baynes Is chairman of the Hyde County Board of County Commissioners and not Ed Berry of New Holland as was stated in this newspaper last week.

Schmit.t of Engelhard for construction of toilets in the county courthouse. Schniitt's bid of $2,089.34 was the lowest of seveial submitted. Several Belhaven contractors sub mitted bids. The contracts call lor installa tion of two toilets in the jury room, one in the judge's chamber and two on the grounds for color ed citizens. The Commissioners have been criticized in seveial grand jury re ports for not providing inside toilets in the courthouse, but a lack of funds delayed work on the project. FUNERAL HELD TUES.

BOARD'S ACTION REGARDING WYNNE'S GUT CAUSES A STIR IN BELHAVEN Action by the Belhaven Hoard of Aldermen last week to keep Front Street open and thus kill the chances of a Federal harbor project in Wynne's Gut caused a stir in Belhaven. Residents of West Belhaven held a mass meeting Friday nigh: to protest the action. They ex pressed fear that building a bridge across the waterway on Front Street would delay drainage work by the town in their section. Robert Gradeiess was elected chairman of the group which will appear before the Board at its next meeting. Other members named to the committee were Mod ie Chancey, Mrs. Jesse Keech, Mrs. L. J. Rice, George Williams, Clarence Quldley and Russell Dan iels. About town the action is the subject of considerable comment with many expressing the fear that the chances of getting the $13,000 Federal Harbor project might have dealt a fatal blow. The Board Tuesday night voted favorably on a motion made by Reginald Windley and seconded by C. R. Massagefe that the group oppose the closing of FroDt Street and removing of the bridge across SPEAKING CONTEST IN HYDE IS INTERESTING "Social Aspects of Social Wast age" proved to be alive with pos sibilities as the four contestants, three from Swan Quarter and on? from Fairfield, proved to a small but enthusiastic audience at the Swan Quarter school Friday night. The contest sponsored by the North Carolina Bankers Associa tion and the Hyde County Parent Teachers Association placed be fore the boys and girls of Hyde County a chance to study and think through the problems that are confronting the farmers now, and, if not overcome, will remain a problem for the contestants to solve when they begin their life's work. The topic when first read ap peared to be a difficult one for interpretation, but from the first sentence of the first speaker un til the final "thank you" was said that thought was expelled from the mind of the listeners. Each speaker emphasized the need for proper drainage, crop rotation and several other methods that can be employed to prevent soil wastage. The relationship of this wastage to the prosperity and comfort of the Hyde County farmers was pre sented quite forcibly as the speak ers progressed In their thinking and their presentation. Those competing were Misses Clara Mason, LaRue McKinney and Bobby Berry of Swan Quarter and Neil Roberts of Fairfield. While the judges, E. K. Mann, E. A. Williams, and J. C. Bishop were making their fina decision as to the winner. Bill Cochran Jr. delighted the assembly with his winning speech of last year. Bill's masterful treatment of his sub ject, "Preventing Accidents," shows that he is fast becoming a veteran "speech maker." When the final vote was cast Mr. Williams announced that Miss LaRue McKinney, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Linwood McKinney, of Slade-nilie, was the winner, and the receiver of the $25.00 United States War Bond donated by East j Carolina Bank. During this an nouncement, Mr. Williams male 'r.'.e very timely, remarks .ab'i; h? toii'.f.rl, hoping thai such ac tivities would be continued from year to year. j E. K. Mann presented the bond I to Miss McKinney and a check for $5. On to each of the others par ticipants. J. C. Bishop urged the adults to encourage the younger boys and girls to keep on with their work and take advantage of every op portunity offered them. L. D. Hunnings, who was in charge of the program, expressed his delight at the work done on this worthwhile project, and re gretting that so few were present to witness this important event. SEAR GRASS TRIO WILL SING AT MT. OLIVE The Bear Grass Trio will pres ent a musical program at the Mt. Olive Christian church at Ponzer Sunday, March 19, it was announc ed this week. The public is cordially invited. ATTENDANCE IMPROVES Attendance at the Belhaven school improved this week but at that approximately 100 students were absent Tuesday. Three members of the faculty were also out on Tuesday. They were Mrs. Edna Justice, Mrs. Mar garet Wilkinson and Mrs. Frances New by. An epidemic of colds and fiu has kept attendance rolls down for the past two weeks. Wynne's Gut. J. M. Davis, Mr. Masagee and Mr. Windley voted favoring the motion while Vann Latham and Jimmy Hodges voted against it. A second motion was made by Mr. Davis and seconded by Mr. Massagee that R. D. Windley be made thaiiman of the purchasing committee to make repairs on the bridge. Mr. Davis Joined in favor ing this issue and Mr. Latham and Mr. Jlodges again voted "no." Interested citizens present at the Board meeting included Dr. W. T. Ralph, Herbert SneU, H. E. Boyd and Capt George Clark. Mr. SneU pointed out that he thought it would be a mistake to not dig out Wynne's Gut because of the possibility of the lack of a regular boat harbor might result in the gradual filling up of the present dredged channel. Mr. Boyd said that the boats that now bring oil to his plant have had trouble getting into his tank3 because of the partially fill ed channel. Meanwhile Wynne's Gut 13 the principal topic of conversation in Belhaven, and indications are that it is going' to be a hot poltical issue in town politics for some time to come. SWAN QUARTER, N.

THE TIDELAND TRAIL The OLD COUNTRY STORE Found Everywhere Along The Tideland Trail of Hyde and Dare By CARLTON MORRIS LONG, LONG AGO By Carlton Morris Everyone tells me that when a man starts looking back and talk ing about the good old days, he is showing the first signs of old age. This Is especially true if he thinks all young girls are pretty. While this applies to me, I choose to think that the man who can look back on times which were not as good as they are now, is the man who never got above his raising. It must be the rain which is" beat ing on my window tonight' or it might even be the springing of the year that has brought on this attack of reminiscence. I like to look back to that day many years ago when my mother, along with several other women, went fishing on a fine spring day. Being just a small boy, I thought I should go too, but the boat was loaded and Macon Howard and I were sent home. We were very angry with our mothers and we hoped a storm would overtake them there on the river. We said we hoped they would be drowned. We were lying however. We cele brated our freedom by wading ev ery ditch and ' swamp we could find and I still don't know how it happened, but when our mothers returned we had very little dry clothes on us. When they got through with us, even that was wet. Macon's mother has gone on. but God has seen fit to spare mine for a- little while. I like, to think back to the win ter mornings of my boyhood when the sun rose on a cold, clear, frosty morning. Blackbirds and the red breasted robins would swarm all over our yard. Often times the earth would be frozen as hard as iron and little icicles would squeeze up through a crack in the ground. Then we would hope for a big snow, for if. It snowed while the ground was COUNTY-WIDE EASTER SERVICE PLANNED i tans are Deing mane tor a Ol t ; Sunrise Service Easter morning on the shore of Lake Mattamus keet.

Once it did snow while the ground was frozen and I made a dead fall for the unsuspecting blackbirds. It consisted of an old barn door propped up with a stick. I tied a string to the stick and threaded it throngh the fence and on to the old three holer which had blown over that summer. I crawled Inside the little house and waited. I waited for hours. I waited until my nose turned blue and my fingers lost all trace of lite. After a while the birds came. When it looked like there ere hundreds under my dead fall I gave the string a mighty jerk and down went the trap. I climb ed out and ran stiff-legged to see w hat I had caught. When I lifte 1 up the old barn door, out flew three birds. There was not an other to be seen. I like to look back to the hot July days of my youth, when I first fell in love. I don't believe it makes a lot of difference who a boy falls in love with, for when he reaches a certain age. he is in love with love. As I remember it. I whs in love with a girl two years younger than I, and I will always remem ber the day she told me th h loved me, too. She even let me hold her hand. I was sneechlss. I could not eat or sleep, for I was very sure no one had ever exper ienced so great a love as ours. It was a moonlight July night when she told me that she loved me and I can still hear the locusts as they whirred and scraped on that warm night while heat lightning played along the far horizon. Puppy love? Maybe. Is there any other sweet er? My dreams were shattered when I found she had told every boy of my acquaintance that she loved them too. It was then that I be gan to learn about women. I ani (Please turn to page four) SAME GANG SUSPECTED IN ALL THREE ROBBERIES IN BELHAVEN AREA RE .ENTLY P. H. Johnson Recovers Part of Goods Stolen Saturday Night; Young Plymouth Man Ar rested In Norfolk With Merchandise In Car ECONOMIST ADVISES GOOD FARM RECORDS To turn a profit during this pe riod of declining prices. North Carolina farmers must adopt more efficient operations and business like methods, T. K. Jones, farm management analyst fod the State College Extension Service, said this week. Jones heads his list of farm ing musts" with the item "a good set of farm records." No business can be operated on a sound basis without a complete set of records, he says. Besides simplifying the income tax headache, good records serve as a basis for planning fu ture farming operations. With a good set of records, .the farmers should be able to answer certain questions at the end of the year. First of all, the records will show whether the "farm ha3 made a profit or a loss. They should al so show the return on the invest ment, ,and indicate just how much each enterprize is contributing. Records shiuld also show the expenses incurred during the year. With this record the farmer can trim all unnecessary expenses. Several types of record books are available free at the county agent's office. Jones recommends that all farmers start now to re cord the facts about business. their farm ' FORESTRY DEMONSTRATION TO SE HELD AT PONZER A forest'' thinning demonstra tion will he conducted hrTT -H, Ifrmlen.

Mr. Lupton, Vaughn, was arrested in Norfolk Saturday with some of tht,toIen goods from, the Pantego Supply Company store in the automobile which he was driving. He said that Mr. John son, manager f the store, had identified some of the merchand ise and recovered approximately two thirds of the stolen goods. Mr. Lupton said that the Nor folk Police had uncovered other items, believed to be goods stolen in Eastern North Carolina, which may link Vaughn with the Rateliff theft in Belhaven. lie said '.hat since much of the stolen property consisted of hardware items and tools that a clue to the Patrick Garage theft may also be found.
