HAILED

LONDON, March 7.-(Thursday)
R-Announcement that the giant
liner Queen Elizabeth had crossed
the Atlantic unframed on a secret
maiden trip was hailed throughout
Great Britain today as striking
proof of the royal navy's command
of the seas and a remarkable tri-
butte to the Englishman's ability
to keep an important secret.
"Thousands Of Clydeside people

MOREHEAD CITY ON THE MOVE

company is about to start gasoline tanks with
capacity up to 5000 gallons on the More.
head City port terminal property. Some
months ago the company began grading oper.
ations between the criminal and the More.
head City and Beaufort highway. The plant
will be on the banks of the Newport river.
within a stones throw of pier No. 2 Of the
terminal project.
Thus Morehead City will acquire another
asset for its port, which will increase its
competition with the port of Wilmington.
This city is not thereby threatened by heavy
loss to it's port or industry, but the thought
persists that any inroad on an industry in
which Wilmington leads properly is to be
viewed as an incentive to its business leader
ship to bring in additional industries to make
its position more secure.
We congratulate Morehead City upon this
increase in it's industrial resources, but can.
not refrain from taking this opportunity to
urge a more aggressive program here for Sc
curing more industries, so essentia to the
further growth and development of the city.

INTEREST FOR VETERANS

Senator BAILEY proposes that the interest
rate on insurance loans to veterans be re-
duced to four per cent.
There is no good reason, the senator ar.
CUES, for the former soldiers to pay five or
six per cent If other borrowers pay no more
than four per cent.
The proposal deserves an asserting vote, if
it reaches that point during a congressional
session already crowded with a multitude of
proposals.
Doubtless there will be some to contend
that the veterans have enjoyed special favors
from the government in the form Of bonuses,
and are not entitled to further consideration
They will overlook the fact that World war
veterans performed a service Of far greater
worth than that Of the stay.at-homes-a serv.
ice upon which no financial value can prop
erly be placed-and that any consideration OF
their situation now will be a small return fol-
those services.
Ii they are paying a higher interest rate
than corporations and firms for government
loans 1t will be only fair to cut the rate to
the lower level. We owe the veterans this
much. at least.

POOR SHRIMP

The bureau of fisheries wants to know more
about shrimp. Where it breeds, how long it
lives, where it migrates, whether it clings to
shore waters or ventures forth into the deep
are matters of concern to the federal agency.
1t is SO inquisitive about the private life OF
the shrimp that it has sent an exploring
party to investigate its habits in waters from
Fort Pierce, Florida, to Cape Hatteras.
Why? Because there is a growing fear that
shrimp may be fished to death and the ma.
tion thereby suffer financial loss. The shrimp
In 1884 the crop was 100, 00O, 900 pounds. In
1889 it was IT'S, 900, 900 pounds, with a value
of $6,000,0 900. The shrimp catch is topped only
by salmon, tuna and oysters.
The vessel sent to look the situation over
is pursuing a zig-zag course from shallow
water to 100 fathoms, to learn how many
shrimp, in broad terms, exist at the shore.
lines and If there are great areas of them
in deep water which nay be Drawn upon II
the shore supply shows signs of giving out.
Conservation is a major factor of the sur.
vey. If it is found that inroads on available
supplies threaten extinction, legislatures will
be asked to adopt laws similar to those in
Louisiana and Texas which set a strict curl
against marketing undersized and immature
shrimp. The little ones must have thei1
chance to grow and replenish the waters, ii
we are to continue in the enjoyment of ou1
cocktails.
AS shrimping is among the chief industries
of North Cardinals coastal area. the nrogrese
of the survey and the findings and recon
mendations of the Investigators, will be
watched closely.

Editorial Comments
From Other AnqIes
THAT BRITISH "STRANGLEHOLD,
Charlotte Observer

One theme song which Chancellor Hitler and
Foreign Minister Won Ribbentrop sought by
reiteration to emphasize in their conferences
with Sumner Welles, according to sources in
the confidence Of the two Nazi chieftains as
reported by American correspondents in Ber-
lin, was that Germany will not even discuss
peace until and unless Great Britain's 'stran-
glehold on the economic life OF the world is
broken"
They are supposed to have argued that so
long as England controls Gibraltar and the
Suez canal there is no security for the rest of
the world. According to the Nazi argument,
Britain uses economic strangulation as one of
her chief weapons for holding the rest Of the
world in submission, and therefore Germany is

Miss Chambers proceeded to the
somewhat ore advanced problems
during the second session, giving
them a chance to "recite' in the
interesting "true and false" contest
held on the stage.
Twenty-four dishes were prepared
on the second days program, each
one being good enough for special
mention. Each n came in for its
share of applause when it took its
turn before the mirror at the close
Of the session, escorted by n Of
the charming girls in foreign cos
tune which made so big a hit with
the audience on the opening day.
Second Session Dishes
The roast on the program is a
homeless leg Of veal. In the cavity
is placed a dressing which is called
"Mr. Pfister's Meat DRESSING and
which is likely to place Mr.. Pits

BY the way. Miss Chambers says
that Mr.. Pfister is a very real per-
son, whose home is in Madison, Wis.
consin. He originated the recipe she
is using.
A baked ham is decorated with a
gelatin glaze to dress it up for a
gala buffet serving. The recipe for
this glaze is something many women
will be glad to have. =
A tasty way to include liver more
often in the diet is to serve it brais-
ed, with vegetables, as shown on
this program.
An unusual dish Is a kidney loaf.
Kidney, like liver, ranks high in
food value according to Miss Cham.

know how to prepare it.
A country boiled dinner is going
to make a hit with many members

Barbecued lamb hash Is a leftover
dish good enough for a party for
the barbecue sauce makes 1t very
special. You can use the same sauce
