SHRIMP SEASON
NEARS; POTATO
SEASON ENDING
Crop Expected to Be Har-
vested BY End of Next
Week; Prices Good
This Week

AS the end of the potato season
nears in Engelhard and vicinity,
there looms up the prospect of the
annual shrimp harvest for which
Engelhard is an important center.
Usually hundreds of boats operate
in the vicinity.
Potatoes this week were moving
along at good prices. The price
quoted Wednesday was $4.25 to the
farmers. This is much better than
the Government ceiling prices of
$685. that was originally set up,
but later abolished.
End of ceiling prices prompted
a rush to the markets, and as a
result, the price dropped to 1925.
Growers were quick to note this
and became more cautious so they
stopped moving their potatoes too
fast.
Marketing of potatoes is expect
ed to wind up about the last of
next week. This will release a lot
of labor which may turn to ready
employment in the shrimp indus
try which may not get into full
swing before July 10.

The blonde bride, who was given
in marriage by her father, was
lovely in white nylon lace over
white satin. Her something old"

her bridal bouquet.

In memory of our Tessie, who
left us II years ago, June 25, 1910.
Memories are treasures no one
Can steal,
Death leaves heartache no one

Some have forgotten you, now

We shall remember, no matter

We will meet again someday,
When all grief and pain is over,
And the mist has rolled away.

Spring Hos Sprung

A recent news item told how Mrs.

None Of us would relish being 80

Faulty Intelligence System

The incident involving General Grow and
his diary indicates need for something more
than the proposed order banning the keeping
of diaries by military personnel, including gen.
erals There is need for further improvement
in the system Of selecting high-ranking officers
for intelligence assignments. Apparently Gen.
eral Grow was picked for the key Moscow post
Of military attache chiefly because OF his i'm
pressive combat record. The picking was done
by the personnel branch Of the Army, which
naturally judges officers by their records as
fighters. If the post had called for a colonel
instead of a general, the selection would have
been made by the intelligence branch, Ga.
The present theory seems to be that the more
important the intelligence post--and there is no
Disgusting the intelligence role Of military
attache-the less need for giving ca control Of
the selection. There is something wrong with
a system which deprives G-2 Of a major role in
the picking of generals who are to occupy vital
intelligence posts abroad. One of the troubles
is that intelligence has been looked upon as
collateral duty permanent assignment to which
would be tantamount to depriving an officer Of
promotion rights. It is wonder that military
intelligence has done as well as it has during
the critical cold war period.

West Point SesquieentennioI

The current celebration Of the 150th anni-
versary Of the founding OF the United States
Military Academy at West Point will be Of interest
to all Americans. More than $4,000 graduates Of
the famous school have played their parts in
the history of the Nation. Most Of them have
been soldiers in the best sense Of the term-men
who served the highest ideals at home and in
foreign fields.
No other center Of practical learning excels
that sponsored by Washington Hamilton. Jeffer-
son and the actual father Of West Point -
Major Sylvanus Thayer, superintendent from
1917 to 1883. It's students never have been
prepared for war alone The pattern Of their
education also makes them ready for labors in
behalf Of peace Many Of the most successful
engineers Of the past century and half have
been West Point alumni. The same observation
applies to the political and business leaders.
Thus the motto "Duty, Honor Country" has been
carried into all quarters Of the globe all spheres
of constructive activity, all branches OF useful
endeavor
West Point should be better known to Ameri-
cans. Every citizen should visit the academy
and see with his own eyes the Inspiring spectacle.

II any one is entitled to fejoice over

out, except for Washington and Lin

Mr.. Fisher probably has been seen
on television by as many people as the
