Years Predicted

out of the principal shipping points
in Delaware, marking the beginning
Of what growers anticipate will be
the best and most profitable season
in this State for several years. Crisp,
at times cold, weather that has char
acterized this spring has contributed
to the unusually good berry crop.
The berries have ripened slowly, in
perfect condition., and are bringing
prices which are expected to mean
tidy profit to the growers.
Bridgeville, one Of the biggest
shipping points in Delaware, start
ed to move the Delaware crop last
week. On Monday approximately
1000 thirty-twO quart crates were
shipped from there. They brought
from SO to $4.1O per crate while the
average price was between $S.65 aud
1915. At the peak Of the season the
daily shipments from BTidgeville
total between $4,000 and 10000
crates.
The peak Of the season will be
sometime next week. II will
continue for about four weeks and
with the continuance Of the present
weather growers antici-
pate several hundred thousand
crates will be moved from Bridge
Vile. Selbyville, another big ship
ping center; Georgetown, Seaford.

Alderman Is native of Pender
county, was educated in the public
and private schools of Duplin and
Sampson counties and graduated
from Wake Forest College in 1924
with an A. B. degree, He did grad
uate work in the School of Education,
University of North Carolina, during
the summers of 1927 and 1880. He is
81 years old married and has two chill
dren He is a relative of the late DR..
E. A. Alderman, former president of
10th the University of North Caro-
lima and the University of Virginia.
also of the late j. T. Alderman of Hen
derson, for years superintendent of
schools in Vance county, and of l..
r. Alderman of the u. S. Office of
Education. Washington, D. G. The
Alderman name has been just about
as closely associated with the de-
velopment of education in North Car
olna in North Carolina as that of
Avcock and Graham. those who are
familiar with it's history point out.
Alderman is running on platform
of five major plants, the first two of
which recommend the putting of more
emphasis on vocational training both
in the grade and high schools. with
emphasis on the needs of the children
and the state rather than on college
entrance requirements. Other planks
favor hte elimination of politics in the
selection of teachers, with laws guar
anteeing sick leave. tenure and pen
sion retirement fund Another plank
advocates a reduction in the pupil
load and higher salaries as soon as
possible, also improved facilities for
TRANSPORTATION, recreation, instruction
and health.
With regard to policies of school ad-
ministration, Alderman comes out
flat-footedly for the present dual
control system, which is being so bit
tarly fought by State Superintendent
Erwin and the North Carolina Edu-
cation Association. He favors con-
tinuation of the present system un-
der which the State superintendent
and stats Department of Public In
struction are supposed to further the
professional and educational deveIon-
ment of the schools. with the business
administration and actual operation
of the physical side of the schools nm
dor the State School Commission He
also favors cooperation between those
two agencies, instead of the presapt
warfare.

Give Regulations
On Game and Fish
In New Pamphlet
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
by JIC. BASKERVILLE.

Raleigh. Nov 15-Although ignor~
anCc of the law is legally no excuse
for violations, there should be no OC-
casiOn for the lack of knowledge OF
regulations governing hunting and
fishing in North Carolina. Two pub
lications setting forth various provi-
sions of these conservation measures,
designed for the widest possible pub
lie circulation, have recently been is
sued by the Depart tment of COnserva-
ton and Development.
The first of these publications is in
the fO;m of extracts giving the prin-
cipal features of hunting and fishing
laws. This digest is in the form Of
ligid cardboard, folded into postcard
size with space provided for an ad-
dress.
Recently off the press is small
pocket-size booklet carrying all the
text of the state game and inland
fisheries laws and regulations Thes"
arc revised through changes and
amendments made by the General
Assembly of 1885.
In a forcward TO the publication,
the following purposes of game and
fish laws are given: Game and fish
laws are not intended to deprive any
person Of his natural rights to en-
10Y these natural resources. On tho
other hand, they are the public rules
for the preservation of wildlife ami
to give all an equal opportunity to
participate in the sports of hunting
and fishing.
These laws are made especially to
curb those who partakc of the states
wild life without regard to the rights
of others and without consideration
to the perpetuation of these great re-
sources"
The compendium of conservation
laws marks the first time that the
game laws and inland fisheries regu-
lations have been included in the
same volume. Other features of this
publication include statutes regu-
iating trapping and fur dealers. An
index at the close of the booklet
gives a ready reference to it's con-
tents.
