Cabbage Palm Tree.

The tree that attracts the at
tention of visitors to Florida is
the Cabbage Palmetto. It is one
of the tropical features of the
southeastern coast and reaches
it's most impressive size.
Its crown of spreading, fan
like leaves SurmountS a sturdy
trunk which is covered for most
of its length with broad concave
stems so that the trunk appears
to be encased in basket work.
Great clusters of small yellow
flowers are followed by masses
of black berries which hang on
all winter. The birds strip the
tree just before blossom time
arrives.
Cabbage palmettos grow. as
do all palms. from a central ter
minal bud, which is the cab
bage," a tender, succulent vege-
table, with a delicious flavor. To
remove the cabbage bud kills the
palm, but there are thousands to
spare and a salad made of the
tender cabbage is a treat you
will not soon forget.
The fibrous roots are matted
in intricate fashion so that they
hold so fast to the soil. Hurri-

In Foreign Trade Dispute
By the Associated Press

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 14.-The
Monsanto Chemical Co., has re-
signed from the National ASsoci-
alton of Manufacturers with a
blast at the MANS foreign trade
stand. Monsanto is the sixth
largest chemical manufacturer
in the Nation.
Francis j. Curtis, vice presi-
dent of Monsanto, said yester-
day the company submitted a
letter of resignation October 10.
It said:
"We believe your present stand
on free trade is detrimental to
the chemical industry and we
can not in honesty align our
selves with an organization
whose beliefs and active pro-
motion are, in this instance,
contrary to our own"
Mr.. Curtis said Monsanto be-
lieves adequate tariffs must be
maintained on chemicals because
the American chemical industry
would be seriously damaged by
an influx of foreign chemical
products"

Cites mistake of Past"
The committee report said it
had concluded that a mistake
of the past had been an attempt
to meet widely differing problems
through basically identical meas
ureS.
"The primary purpose of a
sound farm program, the report
said, Should be to provide agri-
culture with the tools necessary
to maintain an income and
standard of living necessary in
the maintenance of a healthy
national economy. Nothing less
than this, will satisfy the Ameri-
can farmer"
The report said that the COM
mittee concluded from its studies
that while the Government
holds, either through outright
ownership or under loan, close
to $6 billion worth of farm COM
moditieS, we must continue a
support program that will pro-
tect farmers and the country as
a whole against a disastrous

The committees findings also
are to be presented next week to

make its own study and recon-

Grange Committee
Urges Price Prop
On Limited Basis
Bx the Assoeiuted Pros,

BURLINGTON, VT, Nov. IA
The National Oranges Com
mittee on Agriculture today
urged that present price sup
port laws be retained on a
limited basis, along with two
price system to capture export
markets.
The committee said it will
submit its recommendations to
the Oranges 87th annual con-
vention, now in session here.
The recommendations came
after five days of discussion,
capped by a lengthy conference
with two congressional leaders.
Senator Aiken, Republican, of
Vermont, author of the flexible
price support laws now on the
books and chairman of the
Senate Agriculture Committee,
spoke to the convention yester-
day and had a long meeting with
the Grange committee later in
the day.
Cooley Also COnferS.
Representative Cooley. Demo-
crat, of North Carolina, ranking
Democratic member of the House
Agriculture Committee, also met
with the committee behind closed
doors. Mr.. Cooley favors rigid
price supports.
Grange delegates indicated the
committee recommendation will
be adopted by the convention
next week.
The recommendations, regard
ed as a shift in direction by the
grange, would place the organ
iZation in a middle of f-the-road
stand between the Farm Bureau
Federation's stand for q flexible
price support policy and that of
the farmers union for 100 per
cent Of commodity prices.
The present price support law
calls for rigid supports on six
basic commodities, with flexible
supports on others at discretion
of the Secretary of Agriculture.
"The present program" said
the committees report, because
of the lack of an adequate mar
keting program, has contributed
to Surpluses and price instabil-
ity. Higher supports for the six
basic commodities-cotton, corn,
wheat, tobacco, rice and peanuts
without adequate accompany

MELLOW named Marty Melcher
IL is the luckiest agent in Holly
wood. He has Doris Day as a
client.
Melcher showed his apprecia-
ton of his client by marrying her.
There is no reason to believe that
Doris is more difficult to get along
with as a wife than as a client.
And as a client she is every agents
dream.
For Doris is by nature trust
ing, cheerful and easygoing. Her
expressed philosophy is that what
ever happens is for the best.
Acting on this, she has yet to
object to a role, to refuse an assign
ment or quarrel with a contract.
She has an equally airy attitude
toward money. A 5000 check
once mailed to her languished for
a full year in her dressing room
unopened. Miss Day, who lives
only two blocks from her studio,
had not been using the room. The
letter was eventually uncovered
buried under a two-month supply
of fan mail.
One consequence of this casual
attitude toward her career is that
she recently won the Laurel Award
as the favorite of motion-picture

explained the significance Of each

patiently, and then make some
irrelevant remark like you

Tier income stems from three
major sources - movies, records
and radio - so that she has less
to worry about in terms of the
future of Hollywood than most of
the stars. In addition, personal
appearances, endorsements and
whatnot swell the returns. Over a
quarter of a million dollars a year
is the mildest estimate.

CLYDE R. POTTER of Belhaven,
nationally known leader in the fish
cries industry, has been elect
ed president and is the first perma-
nent officer of the N. C. Fisheries
Association. He is credited with
the first moves which have now
brought the coastal fishermen, pro-
ducer-dealers and wholesalers to-
gether in a unified group. Other
elected officers are Earl H. Holton
of Vandemere, vice president, who
until the meeting this week had
served as temporary president;
Garland Fulcher of Oriental, treas
urer; and Roy Watson of Hobuck-
en-, secretary.
In the recent annual meeting of
the association, permanent officers
were elected, and some 20 directors
were named to represent all Sec
tons and types of fisheries on the
coast. Named also, under the con-
stitution and bylaws previously
adopted, was the executive COM
mittee which will act for the as
ISOLATION through the advice, re-
quests and counsel of the coastal
directorates.
The executive committee is COM
prised of Potter and Watson, in ex-
officio capacities under the consti-
tuition, and Clayton Fulcher, Jr.,
of Atlantic, Gordon C. Willis of
Morehead, and Lewis J. Hardee of
Stumpy Point as new members
The constitution of the Fisheries
Association, incorporated under
North Carolina laws, sets it up on
twin base, by fishing sector and
by type of fishery. The sections
are Southport, New River, More
head, Pamlico Sound, Hatteras and
Albemarle. The types of fisheries
are fin fish, shell fish, shrimp, crab
and non-edible fish.
The formation of the Fisheries
Association was begun at the end
of 1851, when 81 representatives of
the coastal fishing industry banded
together at the call of now-Presi-
dent Clyde Potter. The membership
has grown steadily through its for
NATIVE period, and a rs per cent
increase in membership was report
ed at the annual meeting this week.
At the same time an active drive
for membership was inaugurated
with the aim of securing the par
ticipation of the entire fishing in
dustry of North Carolina.
Leaders in the seafood indus
tries in Eastern North Carolina
have long felt the need for such
an organization to deal with the
problems confronting their groups.
Their aim is to be guided by scien-
tific investigation to improve the
industry and to work together for
the preservation of marine re-
sources. They have pladged them
selves to work with the Depart
ment of Conservation and Devel-
opment and to help with laws and
regulations for the benefit of all
those engaged in the seafood in
dustry.
In accepting the leadership of
the group, Mr.. Potter expressed
his appreciation of the confidence
placed in him by his associates,
He stated that he would strive to
the best of his ability to gain more
and better publicity, better laws,
and greater conservation of our
natural resources.

graduated from North Carolina
State College, with the degree of
civil engineer, and promptly join
ed the others in making money.
During the depression of the
thirties, the Taylors bought some
choice Norfolk waterfront proper
ty, idle cotton docks. These docks
were leased to the Federal govern
ment during the war, and follow
ing its close, were sold at a neat
profit. In the early thirties also,
they formed the West India Fruit
and Steamship Company, begin
ming with one boat. Prior to the
war, (World War ID, they had 18
boats operating between Norfolk
and Caribbean ports, hauling large
shipments of bananas and general
cargo.
They owned fruit plantations in
the Caribbean area, and in South
America for a time, and Leslie
looked after these interests. Ma
tive labor conditions weren't too
satisfactory, however, so they sold
the plantations, and began hand
ling the fruit through agencies in
the area. Upon Americas entry in
to the war, shipping operations
were brought to a virtual stand
still, with the government taking
over all of the larger vessels. The
boys imported fruit on a small
scale, during this period, from Ha-
vana into West Palm Beach, Fla.
Leslie went into service with the
Navy and served several months in
the Pacific with the rank of lieuen-
ant, junior grade.
Henry M. Flagier, the financier,
once operated a railroad car ferry
service from Key West, Fla, to
Havana, Cuba; shunting loaded
freight cars from his railroad ter
minal at Key West, onto the fer
ries, thus cutting the costs of car
go handling. A mighty hurricane
destroyed the railroad across the
Keys, and the ferry service was
discontinued. In 1916 the Taylor
Brothers decided to establish again
a rail ferry service between Flori-
da and Cuba. They purchased three
ships, and began a daily service
between Havana and West Palm
Beach. Today, they operate four
such ships.
In 1949 they purchased Florida S
largest resort hotel, the 530-room
Palm Beach Biltmore, for $1,700,-
900, and spent over 81 million re-
modelling it. The brothers are still
comparatively young men. Dan is
55, William, 40, Alfred, AT, while
Leslie is Al. Their vast holdings to-
day include the Southern Salt
Company, Taylor Salt & Chemical

In addition, Dan is a major
