the appearance Of our tables, Too.
In observing our colorful holidays
we will find many opportunities to
do this. For instance, we can cele-

Spread cream cheese and colorful
Pineapple Marmalade and bright
red Apple Jelly on bread cut with
a cookie cutter for teatime or an
evening snack.
Using the short-boil recipes and

PORPolSE A PROBLEM
IN CURRITUCK WATERS
Commercial Fishermen Claim They
Daily Eat Own Weight
In Food Fish

Kitty Hawk.-A school of ocean
propose which moved to inland
waters and adapted themselves to
the fresh and brackish waters of
lower Currituck Sound are now
said to be a problem.
At a meeting of the Kitty Hawk
Civic Club this week commercial
fishermen stated that the porpoise
were killing food fishes and that
as a result the catches in nets
have dropped to almost nothing, s.
In other words, said the Perry
brothers, "AA porpoise is said to
eat its own weight in fish about
every "A hours. Therefore a 300
pound porpoise multiplied by
school of say 20 of the creatures
means the loss of about 5000 lbs
of fish daily"
The school of porpoise came into
the Currituck Sound area about a
year ago. Why they chose the
fresh waters of this inland sound
instead of the salty ocean, their
native habitat is something of
mystery.
Motorists crossing the Wright
Memorial Bridge recently have
noticed the porpoise playing in the
waters. 1t was all considered as
sort of unusual hut nothing of a.
serious nature until complaints
started coming in from CONNER
cial fishermen.
Why the porpoise came to in
landwaters may prove an interest
ing scientific study for the icthy-
ologists. Maybe they have been
doing this all the time but the big
school in lower Currituck waters
is just beginning to attract atten-
ton" it was stated.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2. -- The
metals industry had more raw
enous customers than it could
handle in 1851. And there's no
lletup in sight as the New Year
begins.
In fact, growing defense needs
for copper, aluminium and several
other strategic metals are ex-
Ipected to tighten the supply pinch
for civilian users even more before
the situation begins to improve.
Huge expansion programs are
under way in nonferrous metals.

A cease-fire in Korea is not

Shortages Predicted.
Some of the crystal-ball gazers

fforeSee continuation Of a trend
toward selective buying by con-
sumers that began in mid-l951.
Unless all the forecasters are
wrong, which is hardly likely, the
bloom will still be on the boom
in 1852.
This year ended with the eco
nomy at a historic high: The
first full year of production since
the start Of the Korean war saw
new records attained all along
the economic front.
Employment reached record
levels. People earned more money
than they ever had. The total Of
the Nations goods and services
reached record dollar value.
Trouble Spots Cited.
There were some trouble spots,
| though.
In addition to a slow-up in buy
ing, corporate profits after taxes
declined. For the year, they we're
running at a rate some IS billion
under the record of $22.8 billion
attained in 1850. Higher taxes
and lower profits made business
uneasy. The stock market reached
| a 21-year high in mid October,
then declined, reflecting that un-
easineSS.
Here are some Of the Look
ahead views:
The Agriculture Department,
projecting a forecast into the
Governments 1853 fiscal year,
which includes the last six months
lof 1852, says the total value Of
goods and services should reach
$3.50 billion. That is for the period
July l, 1852, to June 80, 1858, the
Governments business year. It
would be jump OF $22 billion
over the estimate for the current
fiscal year which ends June 30,
1852.
About $94 billion is the pre-
dicted rate of Government spend
ing in fiscal 1858, compared with
$78 billion in the current fiscal
year and $50 billion last year.
How much money will be left
after taxes?
About $240 billion. said the de-
partment, and that compared with
an estimated 1929 billion this year
and $215 billion last year.
Employment, figured the depart
ment, should reach 81 million next
year, rise of one million.
