Ballentine Advocates
Port Development Here
Lieutenant Gov ernor r
Stresses Need In Speech
To Jaycees

| Lieutenant Governor L. Y.
(Stag) Ballentine, probable can.
didate for governor in next
Mays Democratic primary, ad-
vocated the development of the
Wilmington port in a speech be-
fore the local Junior Chamber
of Commerce at their dinner ses~
sion at he Friendly last night.
Although he has not announced
for the gubernatorial race as
yet, political observers in
Raleigh have expressed the
opinion that Ballentine will run.
''Wilmington, and perhaps
Morehead City, need ports," he
declared.
"I think Mort h Carolina
is entitled to a decent port. :.
1t would benefit the State as a
whole as well as Wilmington"
81 believe the records show
that North Carolina is the only
State with a comparable coast
line without an acceptable port"
he said.
In tracing the States agricul-
tural and industrial develop
ment, Ballentine said that the
NEAR 30 per cent reduction
in acreage next year will come
as a shock to tobacco farmers
in the agricultural area"
He recommended diversified
ton of crops as a remedy for
the situation.
The Jaycees at their last
nights meeting were informed
that their tuberculosis bond sale,
which they conduct each year
prior to the tuberculosis as
sociation's Seal sale would get
under way today. The sale Of
bonds to those who contribute
SIS or more to the Seal sale is
handled annually by the Jaycees,
and according to Executive
Secretary Lucy Nash of the as
sociation, results in the collec-
ton of approximately half of
the goal of $4,000.
The Jaycees also completed
plans for their scrap paper
drive this Sunday with the ap-
pointment of Is truck captains
to operate with crews in the
various sections of the city and
at the beaches.

Evolution of the Great Seal Of
Ohio is chronicle of legislative de-
bate and trouble, and today the sit
uation is such that the reproduc-
tions, imprints and facsimiles most
people see are not authentic.
In fact the seal used on Governor
Herbert's stationery and that used
as a frontispieoe in state publica-
tions. differ from each other-and
neither is a bonafide reproduction of
the Great Seal Of the state which
makes all the state documents au-
thentic.
These three seals in use today
differ mainly in the number of hills
they have in the background, and
you can't get technical about that
because the law does not say how
many hills there should be.
Ohio statutes provide there shall
be a range of mountains in the
background with a rising sun COM
ing over them. Official seals used to
stamp state documents have five
peaks; that used in state publica-
tions has four, and the seal on the

In MenOriam

In memory of Mildred Z. Stauffer
who passed away one year ago,
March Is, 1916.
Today recalls sad memories
OF a loved one gone to rest;
And those who will remember her
Are the ones who loved her best.
The rolling stream of life rolls on,
But still the vacant chair
Recalls the love, the voice, the smile
Of you, dear mother who sat there,
The Lord who gave hath called away
To His will we humbly bow;
She is free from trial and suffering
Not a pain can touch her now.
Oh, how we loved you mother dear
No heart on earth can tell,
But God who loved you better still
Hath called you home to dwell.
Sadly missed by
Husband and Daughters.

Although there is much legend and
uncertainty about st. Patrick, famed
Irish Bishop and religious organizer,
great portion of the civilized
world viii commemorate his life with
observances Of various types next
Monday.
There is probably no other saint
about whom so much uncertainty ex-
lists. It is not even known whether
March II is the date of his birth Or
the date of his death, though it
sometimes is said to be both.
According to the best authorities
Patrick was born about A. D. $50.
His talents as an organizer were
soon developed and in short time
he understood how to adapt the
superstitions and the pagan rites
which he found to the teaching of
the church.
His organizing genius and pro-
motional ability can be seen in his
founding of 365 churches, numerous
schools and colleges and many other
contributions to the civilization of
mankind.
The most popular of the legends
regarding st. Patrick is that which
gives him credit for driving all the
snakes and vermin out of Ireland.
The story as current today is told
in one of the most popular Irish
songs, of which the following is an
extract:
"There's not a mile in Ireland's S

isle where the dirty verrnin
musters:
Wher'er he put his dear forefoot
he murdered them in clusters.
The toads went hop, the frogs
went flop, slap dash into the
water,
And the beasts committed suicide
to save themselves from slaugh-
ter"
Tt seems that wherever st. Patrick
went he was preceded by a drum.
One time when going up a hill to
preach a sermon that was to put an
end to snakes, he beat the drum SO
vigorously it burst.
According to the legend, the
snakes then started to glide out of
their hiding places. Suddenly an
angel patched the drum, the sermon
proceeded, and all the reptiles van
ished as if by magic.
The shamrock, which is the SYM
Dol of the celebration, is worn in
commemoration of the fact that
when st. Patrick was preaching of
the doctrines of the Trinity, he made
use of this plant bearing three
leaves on one stem as symbol of
great mystery.
Despite the legendary character

that st. Patrick accomplished much
good and that he remains in the
minds and hearts of countless mil
lions at this time of the year.

In MernOriam

In loving memory of our dear
mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Parrish who
passed away three years ago on
March 8, 1914:
Dearest mother you have left US
Just thr> years ago today
And the hours are sad and lonely
Since you have gone away.
Our lips now cannot tell you
Our hearts know not what to say
God knows we always miss you
In our sad homes today.
Sadly missed by Children.
