BEACHED WHALES
BEGIN TO DECAY

CHARLESTON, S. c., March 8.
-lRAThe 5 beached whales on
nearby Bulls Island have ceased
to attract the eyes of the curious
and appear now as if they will be
in the public nose for a while.
The huge Blacklist mammals
were stranded on the beach after
an exceptionally high tide last
week. All was happiness at first.
The Coast Guard, which has a sta
ton on the island, was delighted
with its find. Local scientists wXe
intensely interested. The wildlife
refuge men stationed at the island
had nature playing right into their
hands. Fertilizer men in the vicini-
ty were intrigued with the idea of
profits from the seas gift.
Now it's different, for the whales
have begun to decay-and the Coast
Guard admits it's sick of the whole
affair. The scientists have looked
and measured and taken notes and
left. The wildlife refuge men are
busily looking for takers of the
large carcasses. But the fertilizer
men say they've washed their
hands of the plan to salvage the
whales.
Bulls Island is inhabited by only
one family, who live several miles
from the beach where the whales
are. But the Coast Guard mounted
beach patrol has a post nearby. So
the Coast Guard is primarily in
terested in getting rid of the mon
sters.
The Coast Guard said today
there seemed but two recourses:
Cd Dig a pit and bury the whales
ca Haul the bodies to sea and
cut them loose.
The latter seemed more feasible,
Coast Guardsmen said, since il
would not be possible to dig deep
pit in the water-pillowed sand.
They said the floating whales
would not cause a navigational
hazard, and though a few of them
might drift back on the island
well, few couldn't smell as bad
as IS.
The Coast Guard emphasized,
however, that it had not accepted
responsibility for solving the prob
lem.

VeStry Receives
Canteen Report


Thursday evening two represent.
atiyes of the Senior Teen Canteen,
Miss Carol elmer and Miss Mar
Lou Miller, presented a report to
the vestry OF ST. Luke's Episcopal
Church. They gave a brief review
of the history OF the Canteen, and

Junior High and the Senior High.
They told Of having received the
yestry's permission for the two
groups TO meet jointly at ST. Luke's
Church House on Saturday eVe-
nings. This had been done for five
weeks, they reported, but the audi
forum had become so crowded that
the Senior Group felt It advisable
to withdraw in favor. OF the Juniors.
The Junior Canteen will continue
to meet at the Church House, there
fore, and the Senior Canteen is
consequently now seeking new
quarters. In concluding, the two
girls thanked the vestry for their
cooperation In having allowed
them the use OF the Church House.
The vestry replied that they had
been glad to have the Canteen use
the Church House, and congratu-
lated them on the way in which
they had proved themselves capa.
Bile of handling their own affairs in
such a way that the Vestry had
never once been obliged to feel
concerned over problems OF disci-
pline or breakage. The representa-
tives OF the Senior Canteen were
assured that their group would be
welcome to return TO the Church
House at any time that such plans
might be worked out.
