North Carolina Mutual
Celebrates Golden
Anniversary;
By ALBERT ANDERSON

DURHAM, N. c., April o..
(ANP)--When the North Carroll
ma Mutual Insurance company
family gathered at a dinner here
recently to celebrate the golden
anniversary of the company, 80
other dinners were being held 81
simultaneously by the staffs of the
branch offices and districts scat
tered throughout the country.
Even the programs were similar
because the addresses by the prin-.
cipal officers, President C. C.
Spaulding and Secretary w. J.
Kennedy Jr., had been recorded
and distributed and were heard at
the same identical time by each
group of diners.
One of the few variations in
the program was the fact that in
the home office, the president of
the National Negro Insurance as
ISOLATION, w. Ellis Stewart, was
the principal speaker, delivering
a message of congratulation from
the 60 odd members forming the
association.
Pointing to the fact that the
North Carolina Mutual is the lar
gest Negro insurance company in
the world, Mr.. Stewart hailed it's
growth through a period of ion
eering in the field of catering for
protection of people of low in
come and then showed how tri-
umphantly in the last 10 years
alone it had grown from a COM
pany of % million dollars insur-
ance in force to one of 140 mil
lions.
He paid tribute not only to the
current officers and President
Spaulding's leadership in coop
erative efforts within the race
but also those who had passed off
the scene-men like John Mer-
rick and DR.. A. M. Moore, foun-

ders and Avery and Hill and Nc
Dougald.
"The fact that I am the only
living member of the official staff
who was associated with the foun-
ders and the fact that a kind
providence has blessed me with
health and strength to carry on
the work so courageously begun
here, makes it of deep significance
to me-" said Mr.. Spaulding.
"Let us not overlook the fact
that this company represents in
the fullest sense a cooperative and
a mutual enterprise. The com
pany's assets belong fully and
wholly to the policyholders them
selves. No individual whether an
officer, policyholder or salesman
owns any more of the company's
assets than the amount to which
the policies he carries on his life
entities him.
"As we enter upon another half
century of progress we do so with
the knowledge, experience and
confidence which we hope will
enable the organization to broad
en- the scope of its corporations
and continue to climb ever up
ward to new heights of achieve
ment.
"My nearly 80 years of SERVICE"
said Secretary W. ]. Kennedy Jr.
"have made a profound impression
upon my heart, soul and mind.
1 can't think of anything more
fitting than to remind the 615,-
STA policyholders and 1,164 en-
| ployees of the fine heritage, ira
| dition and spirit of North Caro-
lima Mutual.
"In payment, our organization
of more than $3O,O00,O0 in poll
cy obligations, has recognized the
intangible force which has led
men and women to cooperate and
coordinate their efforts in a pro-
gram of successful cooperation.
We call that force Mutual Spirit

A "moral, intellectual and spir.

He attacked the "purposeless.

Summer Fishing
BY JIM RHODYG

After warm weather really has
set in, the angler who pursues his
sport in lakes or man-made reser'
voirs will find that bluegills ano
largemouth bass provide most Of
the action he receives. To catch
these fish in midsummer requires
change in strategy used earlier
in the season.
During July the big bluegills
move from deep into shallow
waters in most of the lakes anc
reservoirs. At this time they are
spawning, and if abundant in the
lake, they may cause quite com
motion in the shallow water areas
If the fly fisherman approaches
these areas quietly, preferably ir
boat, and drops small, cork
bodied black bug or wet fly into
the middle of the confused fish
strikes will be numerous and it is
often easy to take the limit.
To forestall the cries of the not.
too-well-informed conservationists
there is little criticism to be at.
tached to taking bluegills during
these periods. Conservation experts
have discovered that there is little
likelihood of the man with a rod
and reel depicting fish population
to disastrous extent.
In fact, many such experts de.
clare that it is too little fishing
rather than too much, which makes
for small fish and poor fishing gen.

ing field. Research has indicated
that it is almost impossible to over.
fish bluegills, therefore it is actual.
ly desirable to reduce the number
of bluegills by fishing.
In July and August the bluegill
fisherman who uses worms and
grubs really comes into his own.
A casting rod, cane pole, or fly
rod equipped with a light line,
seven-foot leader of six pounds OF
less test and a size Y hook is the
ideal rig. A couple of BIB shot may
be used as sinkers if deeper
waters are to be fished. In late
afternoon, during the period men
toned, watch for rise of blue.
gills to the surface. This often hap.
pens in the early mornings. During
these crises" is when the fly roo
angler gets in his best ticks. The
action is fast and furious and the
fisherman who uses two or more
flies on his leader will often take
as many as two fish at a time
with triple not too infrequent as
to be amazing.

Wanted Proof

Buddy, can you spare a nickel
for cuppa coffee?" whined the
panhandler as he held out dirty
palm.
The fatherly-looking gentleman
looked at him with tender pity and
replied, "Im sorry, young man, I
have no money but I should like
to give you a little advice"
At this the panhandler blew up
and screamed impatiently, "All the
time l get plenty of advice, but no
money. Say, if you guys never
have no money how can you expect
me to believe that your advice Is
worth anything?.'

STRIKE RESPITE:
Steel Accepts Plan

The steel industry's biggest cor
porations accepted President Tru-
mans 60-day peace plan under
protest, thus averting nationwide
steel strike. The fact-finding board,
appointed by the president will
study the dispute over a fourth
round of postwar wage increases
and pensions and group insurance
and will make recommendations.
The United States Steel Corpora
ton had asked President Truman
to alter his terms for a peace pro-
posal with the United Steelworkers.
as steel strike deadline rushed
closer.
The corporation demanded that
the presidents proposed fact-find-
ing board be given no power to
suggest a settlement.
The union threatened to strike
against four companies - U. S.
Steel, Bethlehem, Republic and In
land. These firms are against any
fact-finding boards outside the Taft
Hartley act.
Phillip Murray's big steel union
agreed to 60-day postponement
of the walkout at companies which
agreed with the presidents propos-
al. The Taft Hartley act provides
for an inquiry board with no power
to make recommendations.

Sir Stafford Grips, chancellor of

austerity program before tn e

Britain will reduce her spending in
the United States and Canada by

current fiscal year.

There are no figures at hand at
the moment, but it is logical sur
mise that not more than per cent
of the nations anglers ever use
a landing net. Once an angler has
used a landing net, the chances
are that it will become a must
in his equipment. Like most fish
ing tackle, one can be bought for
three dollars or is dollars, depend
ing on your choice and bankroll.
Here's why landing net is i'm
portant: While your fish is still in
the water large percentage of his
weight is supported by the water
but when you grab your line to try
to lift him out, line and leader
must support his entire weight.

MONROE DOCTRINE:
Poet Fuss

John Foster Dulles, in his first
speech as us. senator appealed
for ratification Of the North Atlantic
pact and rebuked Senator Robert
A. Taft and others opposing it.
Taft's opposition was on the
grounds that the treaty commits
the United States to re-arm its
European signers.
Dulles countered with the defense
that the pact does not obligate this
nation to enter any arms program
which isn't defensible on its own
merits" Dulles said that the treaty
doesn't give any individual men,
Der the right to get any particular
thing from any other member. No
particular member has any claim
on any particular aid he averred.
It does not require the United
States to build each signer up so
that It could defend itself alone,
Dulles said.
ANOTHER FOE of the pact, Sem
ator Flanders of Vermont, wanted
to extend the Monroe Doctrine in
place Of entering the pact. He said
this nation would not be obligated
in details any more than in the orr
ginal Monroe Doctrine.
Flanders also objected to possible
arms commitments to Europe if
we signed the pact. He said that if
vast arms shipments are made to
Europe we don't know what will
happen to them in case Of COM
munist domination Of nations bene-
fitted.
Senator Scott W. Lucas, the DEM
ocratic senate floor leader, said
that the treaty imposes no legal
obligation for an arms program,
but added such program is need
ed just the same.
