Arlington Grand Jury
Asks Aid Of LAWYER
On Gambling Report

An Arlington County grand jury
investigating runfors of collusion
between police and gamblers asked
Circuit Judge Walter T. Mccarthy
today to provide an attorney to
assist them in writing their report.
The judge said the Common
Wealth's attorney ordinarily would
advise the jury but since Lawrence
w. Douglas, Arlington's prosecutor.
had been called as witness the
Jury indicated that it preferred to
have someone else.
After considering their request
| for a short time, Judge Mccarthy
asked If the jurors had any sugges-
tions. The foreman, Erie Kirby,
replied that Frank L. Ball, former
Commonwealth attorney and for
mer State senator, would be salts
factory. ,
Judge Mccarthy said that he had
had Mr.. Ball tn mind but because
Frank L. Ball, jr., had been one
of the 30-odd witnesses before the
Jury in it's six-day inquiry, he was
not certain the elder MIR. Bah WOulu
suit them.
The attorney was not Immediately
available and Judge Mccarthy in
structed the jury to recess for lunch.
Earlier in the day, the Judge re-
iterated his instructions on possible
courses of action by the jury.
These alternatives are CD a report
that there is insufficient evidence
for criminal accusation, f2) in
dictments of individuals and 90 a
request for custer proceedings

The jury has considered charges
that there have been connections
between professional gamblers and
county police. The last witnesses
called by the probers were Police
Chief Harry L. woodward, Capt.
Hugh Jones of the detective section,
and Mr.. Douglas.

TOWER LIGHTHOUSE
MYSTERY S0LVED
Morning Star Correspon-
dent Kiziah Gives History
OF Old Light

Editors note: In the following
article written by Star Correspon-
dent Bill Kiziah the exact history
Of an old tower near Fort Cas-
well is told. In last Wednesdays
edition of The Star a story by
Carl Cahill Staff writer appeared
in which was discussed the pos
| sibility Of the structure being a
fire control tower).
SOUTHPORT June 12-The old
lighthouse pictured in the Morn
ing Star Wednesday was built
about 1910 by the Lighthouse
Service and its official designa-
ton was the western Channel
Light. 1t was constructed of
Juniper wood which, but for minor
defects, is in ar good a state Of
preservation as it was on the day
that it was used in constructing
the picturesque building.
At the time the western channel
light came into use there was two
channels leading to the sea at
the mouth of the Cape Fear.
One Of these channels passed
close to Bald Head island, follow
ing the same course az the pres
ent day shipping channel.
The other channel passed right
near Fort Caswell on the west
side of the river and this venue
was officially known as the west
ern channel.
From it the lighthouse got its
name. In fact, the western chan
mel light was intended to guide
the mariners in and out through
the western channel while Bald
Head light guided them through
the eastern channel.
Although the government owns
adjoining property on both sides,
the Oak Island Coast Guard re-
servation on the northwest and
the Fort CasWell reservation on
the east, the lighthouse and the
land on which it is located is now
the property of the Caswell Beach
corporation. Recently Robert W.
Powell of GoldSboro, one of the
owners of the lighthouse and land,
stated that they planned making
some repairs and painting the
lighthouse in the near future.
Several years ago officials of
the Lighthouse Service at Charles
ton, writing the Star-News CORES
pondent about the western channel
light, stated that it was in use for
several years ana was discontinue
ed when the shoaling of the west
ern channel and increasing popu-
larity of the eastern channel made,
use no longer necessary.

SOUTHPORT, June IL. Leases
were signed here this week by
New Jersey interests for two
tracts Of land on the river road.
A hundred and so acres was in
volved and all is intended for to-
mato plant growing. but as some
OF the land has to be cleared not
all can be planted next spring.
A good portion of the land is
already cleared, will be ploweG
this fall and tomato sed drilled
in next spring. Clearing Of the re
mainder of the lsnd will start in
September with plans to plant in
the spring Of 1919
Although the very unreasonable
spring cut his plant production to
nearly half what he expected, E.
Fl. Sheppard of Shiloh, N. j., was
encouraged this spring and more
than ever convinced that tomato
plants could be grown here cor the
farms in eastern states. His 1947
venture with Is acres sewn to the
sed has already brought assur-
ance that three times that much
land will be planted in the sed
next spring. Perhaps a great deal
more.

ture is being placed with a mum

SOUTHPORT, June 1S-A deed
recorded here Tuesday a the
passage Of the famous old Grave

since 1912. This p~latation was the
original home of the Bellamy's in
Brunswick county, a part Of he
estate OF the late John D. Bel.
lamy, 1t was listed on the tax
books at a value of about $20,-
600. 90. The purchase price, as
given on the deed was $55, 521. 90.
Lying just west of Jackie's
Creek and fronting on State high
way No. II for a considerable dis
lance, the tract embraces $500
acres, practically all OF this beig

Very little farming has been
done on Gravely for many years
but before the revolutionary war
and before it came into the hands
of the Bellamy's it was regarded
as one Of the foremost producing
plantations in Brunswick county.
Lord CORVALLIS is credited with
having destroyed it's original at
fluence. Later during the civil
war and while owned by the Bel

blow.

ARMY ENGINEERS MAP
OF PHILIPPINES NOW
UNDER PREPARATION

MANILA, March 30 - up -
U. S. Army engineers disclosed
today that they were well under
way with a project to map the en-
tire Philippines, something never
before attempted.
The late Gen. Tomoyuki Yama-
shita remarked during the trial
that led to his death last year
that anyone who fought on Layte
III the future should have better
maps, as 'both I and Macarthur
used the same American maps and
thus lost a good deal of time"
The mapping project is being
pushed by planes of the 18th Air
force, taking bombsight readings
and making photographs of Hither-
to unknown mountain and jungle
areas. Some Of these regions are
within 40 miles of Manila.
The Army also is training two
companies of Philippine scouts as
surveyors for on = the = ground
measurements Of all the republics
1000 islands.
Date of completion and scale Of
the map are military secrets, but
engineers said that it would show
every large building in the Philip
pines.

The Tar Heel Gardener
BY JOHN H. HARRIS
N. C. STATE COLLEGE

In my opinion, nothing adds as
much to the appearance of a
home as does an attractive lawn.
A good lawn is hard to obtain,
takes lots of work and know how.
Two grasses that may help us
have better lawns are Centipede
and Zoysia grass. Both these
grasses may be planted now. The
Centipede grass is more or less
a substitute for Bermuda as Cen
tipede is a low creeping grass that
does well on almost any kind Of
soil. 1t stays lat on the ground
and requires little moving.
This grass does well in sun or
reasonable shade and will grow
throughout the central and east :
ern part of the state. Centipede
grass is started largely from roots
planted in April and May. AS
compared to Bermuda, Centipede
is about as thrifty, makes a den
e sod, requires less moving,
chokes cut other grasses better :,
grows better in the shade, and is
not as hard to eradicate from Gull
tivated areas. 1t is, on the other
hand, more expensive to establish.
Manila grass (Zoysia matrella)
has not been tried extensively in
North Carolina, but the few plant.
ings that are being observed look
promising. Manila grass, often
called Zoysia, is a fine leaf, low
growing grass somewhat resem-

DISEASES CAUSE
CUCUMBER LOSSES
Downey Mildew And Leaf
Spot Infections Cited
By DR.. Jenkins

DIR. J. M. Jenkins, Jr., Horticul-
turlst in charge, Vegetable Re
search Laboratory here, states
that last year cucumber growers
in the Wilmington and other Caro-
lima areas suffered serious losses
IN some cases as a result of
doWny mildew and angular leaf
spot infection in their paintings.
Although the spread of the organ
lsms causing these diseases is
much influenced by weather condi-
tons, they can usually be fairly
well controlled by the use of seed
treatments and dust applications.
DR.. jenkins further advises that
angular leaf spot appears first as
water soaked spots on the leaves
which later turns a tan or chalky
color and are angular in appear
ance. Young infected fruits will
drop off of the vines. The disease
spreads fastest in rainy weather
and may be transmitted from plant
to plant by pickers. The original
infection in the field usually comes
from infected seed. Therefore, an
important control measure is the
treatment of the seed prior to
planting.
The treatment recommended for
the control of angular leaf spot by
DR.. Jenkins consists of soaking the
seed for five 90 minutes in a
1000 solution of bichloride of mer-
curry. Then the seed is washed for
lat least two CD minutes in three
90 washes of clear water to re
wards it is spread out to dry in a
shady place, but care must be
taken to see that it dries quickly.
One Cd bichloride of mercury tab
let to one Cd pint of water makes
a 1-1000 solution. 1t is deadly
poison.
In combating downy mildew DR..
jenkins states that consideration
should be given to the fact that
the foggy weather favors the de.
velopment of the disease. At pres
ent, the best control consists of
busting the plants with Il mixture
of six CO. pounds of cuprocide to
81 pounds of clay or Pyrox at in
tervals of five % to (10> days,
depending upon the weather. Other
dusts are available and may be
satisfactory.
Varieties of cucumbers that are
resistant to doWny mildew have
been developed and should be
available to growers in about two
years. These do not have to be
busted for mildew and should,
therefore, be given a thorough
trial as soon as seed become avail
able.
