are becoming commonplace in
the steel industry. the trade mag
azine said.
Restrictions Mount.
But there were some not SO
happy days in the offing as an
increasing amount of the goods
from the Nations factories were
earmarke6 for defense.
Restrictions on raw materials
threatened lay-offs in many a
business and industry.
General Motors said most of its
army of workers would be laid off
for six days from July % through
August 6 because of Government
restrictions on the use of critical
materials for passenger cars.
At Richmond. Ind, the Crosley
division of Avco Corp. which
makes refrigerators, said 1900 en-
ployes would be laid off starting
Monday because of restrictions on
raw materials.
The private and public electric
utilities industry was advised that
1t faced steel and aluminium cuts
in the third quarter.

A battle over price controls on
beef resulted in idleness at. the
big packing plants and in con-
sternation among consumers.

ficials said they wouldn't be
budged from beef price roll back.
The consumer was faced with
the worst beef shortage in retail
markets since wartime days. Pack
ing industry spokesmen said the
shortages would appear in butcher
shops in some sections next week:
chains expected beef to be eX-
tremely scarce by Monday.
The retail price was faded. 1t

and forty minutes. 1t has a cruis-
ing speed of about 120 miles an

AS evidence of size, Capt. Bill

two and half pounds each. He al
so caught ten rockfsh on another

fishing for sport, party boat men
have sold their catch for as much
as $50 in a single day.

WELFARE CASES

Many Old Age Cases Prefer
Losing Checks to Permit

Fifty per cent of welfare cases

recipients owning property are
faced with liens being placed on it,
are preferring to come off the rolls,
according to a News & Observer
interview quoting the State We'll
fare office.
The law which was passed at the
last legislature, provides that when
persons die after receiving old age
benefits from tax funds, a lien
enters upon their property to reim-
burse the state for the tax funds
used for their support. .,,.,,
Because there had been so many
cases of children refusing to aid
their needy parents, while awaiting
to take over property when their
parents died, the Legislature at
tempted to discourage what in
many cases had been a costly
practice to the peoples money.
Because many people are inter

Spend Night in Waters of
Roanoke Sound; Found
by Fishermen

Bill Dudley, Loran Midget,
Herman, Ralph and Cecil Sears,
working on their nets on Manteo
Creek, were amazed Monday about
noon to see two men in air pilot
suits coming out of the marsh.
The men proved to be two Marine
Eorp pilots, who had parachuted
from their plane about midnight
Sunday, and landed in Roanoke
Sound. The fishermen helped them
across the creek to Tarkington's
store, where first aid was given.
>Chey made their way across the
Marsh from Baums Point, where
they had waded ashore after stand
ing up in the water all night.
Coming from Dobbins Air Base,
Ga, the men had intended to stop
at Jacksonville, but few past it,
and got lost in the vicinity Of
Mays Head when their gas ran
Slow. Climbing to 5000 feet, and
heading the plane toward the
ocean, they jumped out. Their par
achutes landed them in Roanoke
Sound. The plane is evidently at
the bottom of the ocean. The men
are Capt. Conrad Dean, %, and
1t. Charles Ford of Brownsville,
Texas. They were taken to Eliz-
abeth City in a Coast Guard ba-
mana helicopter which picked them
up at the Manteo Airport.

miles visiting 5000 homes and
countless hospital patients and

ed a fishing party which had unus-
ual luck. On October 2, Mr.. and
Mrs. H. H. Whaley and Mr.. and
Mrs. Sirney Alternately of Green's
boro, who had been spending sever

scene of a tragedy. Francis H.
Matthess and John Byrd Holt of
Beaufort lost their lives while at
tempting to make return trip
from Portsmouth, where they had
been sport fishing, to Atlantic in
their open 22-foot motor boat ear
ly Thursday morning. Since they
had not been expected home until
Friday, the tragedy was not known
until their wives became anxious
on Friday afternoon and 'phoned
the Coast Guard for information.
Capt. Peele, commanding officer
at the Ocracoke Lifeboat Station,
sent boat to Portsmouth and OBJ
tanned the information of their de-
parture from there on Thursday.
Search was instigated and on Sat
urday the body Of Matthess was
found near Drum Inlet by the At
lantic Life Boat crew. That Of Holt
was not found until Monday, when
it was discovered floating near
Royal Shoals by Benjamin E
Spencer, commercial fisherman o.
0cracoke. He immediately notified
the Coast Guard by radio and .
boat was sent to carry the body
to Atlantic. No trace of the motor
boat was found, and the search
! WAS discontinued on Monday after,

MORE VISITORS
EACH YEAR TO
FORT RALEIGH
Total Count for Travel Year
Ending September 80,
Comes to 141, 265

During September r. 49 persons
visited Fort Raleigh National His
toric Site on Roanoke Island. The
increase in visitors was only Is
more than for the same month one
year ago.
"During the IL month period
ending September 80, this year"
said Robert L. Atkinson, in charge
of the Site, "they came from every
state of the Union, the District
of Columbia and from 80 foreign
countries and possessions of the
United States"
During the travel year ending
September 80, 1861, officials of
Fort Raleigh counted 141, 265 per-
sons as compared to the travel year
ending on September 80, 1850 was
134,397.
Fort Raleigh is the site of Sir
Walter Raleigh's affiliated at
tempts to establish an English col
ony in America.
Among the men OF action hgur-
ing in the history of the settle
ments are two of the great "sea
dogs" of Elizabethan England, Sir
Richard Grenville (late to be inn
mortalized as the hero of the Re
venge), and Sir Francis Drake, first
Englishman to circumnavigate the
globe.
1t was at Fort Raleigh that the
agents of Sir Walter Raleigh and
the subjects of Queen Elizabeth
suffered or died in the effort to
begin the conquest of the greater
part of the North American Con-
tinent by the slow process of agri-
culture, trade and natural increase.
The hardships of the first colony,
1856, and the tragic disappear
ance of the expedition of 1887, to-
day immortalized in Paul Green's
symphonic drama ''The Lost Col
ony" caused the English to grow
in colonial wisdom.
