ical science has demonstrated
that, given plenty of meat, men
suffering from wounds, burns,
starvation or infections, recover
faster. G -
The secret of meats restorative power
lies in "the amazing aminos" (a-mee-nos)
those mysterious substances in the pro-
teins we eat which our bodies use to build
and rebuild our tissues, organs, blood and
infection-fghting antibodies.
What do these aminos in hospitals teach
us about meat at home? Just this:
Children cannot sroaU and adults
cannot rebuild tissues (achich Wear
oxt constantly in the process of Ho-
ing) withoat the amino acids of pro-
tein foods. Our blood cannot be re-
senerated-oar resistance to many
infections cannot be maintained I'M
less ,ce obtain them.
Twenty-Five amino acids have been iso-
lated. Ten of them are known to be essen
tial. Without them, life is not possible.
The protein of meat has all ten of the
essential aminos; is rich in them. If we
have generous amount of meat IN our
diets, we can be assured of getting the
aminos we need.
You may have thought it was hunger for
the good flavor of meat that prompted
your desire for it. But isn't it more likely
that it was the hunger of your body for
those essential aminos that instinctively
guided you?

ue14nitely that all expendi-

The Secretary upon approval of
that act promulgated an order
placing the work in the Engineer
department. In 1857 the depart

work which thus far had been done
by commissioned personnel. A ma.

Harbor act stated that river anc

CONGRESS URGED
TO CHANGE RULE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12- R) -
Wholesale dealers throughout the
country would be authorized to sell
surplus goods to veterans under a
plan urged on Congress today by
Surplus Property Administrator w.
Stuart Symington.
Symington told a Senate Military
subcommittee that veterans ARE
not getting the property they want"
under the present system of chan
neling SURPRISES through 81 region
al offices of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
The administrator also recon-
mended adoption of these two pro-
visions in a bill by Rep. Lyndon
johnson (D-Tex):
l. That veterans be granted a
priority over state and local gov
ernments, making them second
only to Federal agency purchasers.
2. That veterans be permitted to
buy surplus property for personal
use, instead Of for business pur-
poses only.
Under Symington's plan, quail
fled veterans would clear their or.
ders through the Veterans Admin
istration and would be allowed to
buy at wholesale prices.

Man Gums Money Island
But Unable To Enjoy 1t

CHERRY POINT, Dec. 12-
Money Island, a small wooded is
land on which Black Beard the
pirate is reported to have buried
treasures, has been neither sunk
nor demolished by the Marines at
the Marine Air Station here, it is
reported by Capt. Maurice A.
Weinstein, USMCR, of Charlotte,
station legal officer.
Captain Weinstein heard some
time ago from Attorney Hugh
Dortch. of Goldsboro, who decided
the island to his son, Hugh Dortch
Jr., in 1882, asking for a report on
widely-circulated rumor that the
unique island had been destroyed
by the Marines.
The Captain had never heard Of
the island, having been on the Air
Station for only eight months. If
he had inquired Of residents in the
area, he could have easily ascer-
tanned its location. Or, if he had
only known, he could not help see
ing it every time he went to the
officers club. But there was no
record of the island in the Marine
files, and he searched for weeks
before he found it from compari-
sons with a kodak picture of it TAX.
en- several years ago by Mr..
Dortch.
AS a matter Of fact, Captain
Weinstein says, the Marine Corps
has never taken over possession of
the island. This is strange, in a
way, because it is completely sur
rounded by water and land con-
demned by the government for this
mammoth reservation. Just why it
was not included in the station
property is not exactly certain, I'M
less it is because the isle is too
small for practical purposes.
The owner, Hugh Dortch Jr..
would find it almost impossible to
reach his island, should he want to
do so, without getting an official
pass into the Air Station and bor-
rowing a Marine or Navy boat to
reach its banks. For, though it is
now easier for outsiders to get on
the base, official passes are still
required.
According to Captain Weinstein,
the government will probably |
never seek to acquire the island
for incorporation in this Marine air
base. This means that Dortch will
still continue to own it, a small
private island entirely surrounded
by government water and land.
Marines apparently have Joined
in the unsuccessful search for gold
on the island, Captain Weinstein
reports. Upon the spread of
rumors of Black Boards treasure
there, scores of persons have tried
to locate it, he says. When he
finally located the island, he said
he found there numbers of holes
of every size and description. The
diggers for the buried treasure had
The Wilmington morning star., 1945-12-13

not bothered to cover all their
holes, and there was n iodnication
that any chests or bags had been
found and removed.
When the senior Dortch trans.
ferred "the treasure island to
his son, the deed in the office OF
the Register Of Deeds Of Craven
county occasioned considerable in
terest. AS written in 1882, 1.-THE
156th year of Independence and
the third year of the Great De-
PRESTON" the deed conveyed to
the son the island, near Duck
Creek and Red Bank landing" in
Guiding "all treasure theron that
might have been left there by "the
late lamented Mr.. Teach. Black
Beard, or Tom Haywood"
Mr.. Haywood is a Craven Coun-
ty Commissioner, resident of
Croatan, near the air base site
and the originator Of the notorious
self-kicking machine, which has
been given national publicity.
The deed also granted to the
younger Oortcn the right to en-
JOY the sunshine and fresh air, the
soft winds and cooling rains, the
shade of the pines, the smell OF
the earth and the GOODNESS of the
water, the right to enjoy the an.
ticipation of hunting for ducks,
bears, deer and other wild animals
and the eagerness and anticipation
of catching fish, crabs and other
animal life of the waters"
Captain Weinstein says that the
owner still has all these rights and
possession OF the island and that
so far as the present plans Of the
Marine corps are concerned the
treasure island' will still remain
in the ownership Of Dortch though
he may have a difficult time
reaching the island and enjoying
his rights there.
