Norfolk by radio. While Mallonee
was on the radio, the plane went
into sharp bank and began to

The pilots succeeded in righting
the craft at about $500 feet but

SGT. DUDLEY ADVISES
PROSPECTIVE RECRUITS

While thousands of our youth
have volunteered and are con-
tinuing to volunteer their service
in the United States Air Force,
there still exists an acute short
age of men and women volun-
teers to fill vacancies created by
the demands made on our highly
specialized and mechanical Air
Force by new and continuing
technical development.
Sergeant Dallas E. Dudley,
Jr., local Air Force recruiter,
says that in order to more fully
acquaint the American people
with this acute shortage of quail
fled military personnel in the
United States Air Force, the
many opportunities offered such
personnel in our modern
Air Force and to impress
our citizens with the fact that
without these voluntary enlist
ments the efficiency of our Air
Force operations is immeasure-
ably impained.
Sergeant Dudley, former
Dare County man, further states
that the men and women volun-
teering their services will be
carefully and thoroughly train
ed to fill the occupations avail
able in our Air Force, their con-
tributions will be invaluable to
our national security as well as
in establishing a career founda-
ton for them in their future en-
GeaVorS.
Young men and women can
greatly enhance their opportun-
ity for rapid advancement by
completing high school before
they join.
AS much as the Air Force
wants young men and women
eager to serve in this newest and
important branch of the Armed
Forces, it urges them to first
gain all the education they can.

AUTUMN is THE TIME TO
DAYDREAM AND DEERHUNT
By CARLTON MORRIS, Editor, Gates County Index

October and Halloween have
come and now passed on into the
limbo of forgotten things. No
vember is here with its melan-
choly days and soon the falling
of the year will give way to Win
ter and cold weather.
To some of us, the fall is like
life, for we burst forth in a blaze
of glory, but despite our best eff
forts, line and time overtake us
and winter time is here before
we are prepared. Then we begin
to wonder what we did during
the long summer, but it is indeed
too late.
If I could ever be accused of
worshiping worldly things, the
countryside in the fall would be
my sin, for me there is no greater
beauty than the flaming n d
golden brown leaves of the
naples, sweet gum and white
oak when they are painted in all
their brilliant glory by the
handiwork of a benevolent God.
I love to look back and remem-
Der the short days of my youth
when I could walk endlessly
across the country in the fall.
Near the home of my childhood
was a vast pocosin of reeds,
briars and laurel. To get to this
vast wasteland, one must pass
through the high woods. Many a
frosty morning, l would shoulder
my old gun and join one of the
almost daily deer hunts into this
wild, terrible wilderness. Deer
and bear lived and grew fat in
this lonely land and then we
needed only pair of strong legs
and broad back to lug our
game out of the dense bush.
Due to my youth and tendency
to daydream, never was quite
accepted in the great fraternity
of deer hunters and so nat
urally l always drew the deer
stand which was most likely to
be by-passed by buck being
chased by hounds. Thus it was on
a deer hunt that l pulled my
greatest mistake.
My hunter friends had left me

Smith, who was most seriously
injured, had to be dragged into the
raft after the plane sank. He re-
manned in the raft through the
night. The others took turns stand
ing watch" on a two-foot square
platform on the light.
During the night one plane
passed overhead but did not see
them. Early in the morning ano n
er went past but apparently did
not spot their flares, found in a
compartment of the raft. Later
they learned that it had reported
their position.
Rescue was made shortly after
dawn by flying boat from the
Elizabeth City Coast Guard Air
Station. The four were picked up
about seven yesterday morning and
taken to the air station.
Site of the crash was about five
miles south of Bluff Point, approx
imately 40 miles due west of Cape
Hatteras.
The survivors reported that the
plane sank in about Is feet of
water. Portions of the right wing
and tail assembly remained above
water, they said. The water was
very calm all night, they said.

formation he has received on the
Springfjiord, the vessel once was
bombed off the Guatemalan
coast before its crew, as Canipe
puts it, felt they'd be better off
elsewhere" and abandoned the
vessel. Canipe would reap no
big profit from a cargo as he did
from the Babun (the cargo has
been removed), but the challenge
of the salvage appeals to him.
Canipe has still got his eye on
q German U-boat, parked under
water off the beach at Morehead
City, an estimated million dol
lars worth of mercury in her
hull. He said his son, Mack, FLEW
over there the other day, and
saw her underneath the water"
Canipe wants to salvage the mer-
curry.
Two of Canipe's crew which
salvaged the Babun, Olan Vance
Bell and Elmer E. Sawyer, drop
ped a 100000 suit they brought
against Canipe, claiming joint
ownership Of the Babun.
This shit filed against the SIS
Omar Babun, was dismissed
November 4 in Federal District
Court.
In the 100000 suit against the
vessel and E. Arnold Canipe,
owner, Bell and Sawyer charged
they were were parties to a sal
wage agreement with Canipe.
This suit was filed July %.
After the ship was pulled off
the shoals following its May IA
grounding, it was towed to the
Berkeley plant of the Norfolk
Shipbuilding and Drydock Cor
poration and attached there by a
United States Marshall.
However, wharfage, pumping
and electric current costs
mounted to $435 between July
% and August 5. The two plain
tiffs, who had attached the ship,
were held responsible for this
bill and other expenses.
After August 5, men hired by
Canipe returned to the vessel
end manned the pumps. When
payment for the original bill was
not forthcoming Federal Judge
Walter E. Hoffman filed an order
dismissing the suit.

DUCK HUNTING DANGEROUS SPORT.

Last year we said it, and We'll say again There
such thing being careful during the hunting season.
Every year have needless deaths Already this week
hunter has been killed in Currituck County, last
were killed in Hyde County, and fatalities were reported
hunting accidents" in many other counties
But really are there such things hunting accidents?
It that "careessness' more appropriate name
Let's see how most of them come about:
Leaving loaded guns lying around where irresponsible
people may play with them; in blinds where they may en-
danger others handling guns with safety off, leaving guns
loaded when there need for it, shooting without first
being that the object sighted is something be at
There are many more reasons, but in all of them we
will find the element of mans careessness prevailing which
adds up in many minds criminal negligence"
1t is estimated that 80 persons will be killed in hunting
misfortunes in North Carolina this Think of the mis-
cry and heartache the restitution some instances

log and lay down to wait. In the
warm golden autumn sunlight I
could see the high woods from

come and looking to the right or

across the reeds and briars of
this vast wasteland.
Filled with the dreams of my

things. One day 1 would become

their splashes of autumn color, I
would preserve in all their vir-
gin beauty. 1 would never let
anyone cut or defile them in any
way. For instance, as 1 lay there
on my log and dreamed my
dreams. 1 saw a large piece of
white paper blown hither and
yon on the gentle breeze. When
l owned all of this wild, beauti-
full country, l would never let a
piece of paper clutter up my
property.
The piece of paper drifted
closer and passed me by, then I
saw that what / believed to be a
piece of paper was really the
white flag or uplifted tail of a
large buck. / scrambled down
from my perch and gathered in
my gun but when l got back up
the tree, the deer like my
dreams, had fled away down

Two top-ranking American

war prisoners on January %

trouble and that peace negotia-
tions win be resumed.

miral Arthur Radford. chairman

reporters of their observations
on an Inspection consultation

Mr.. Robertson was asked II
he expected any trouble when
the time comes for releasing to
civilian life all prisoners still
held by the Reds and allies. He
replied he did not expect any
trouble and added:

Swedes and Indians Con the

to be no dissent from them re-
garding our position"
The commission has custody
Of 22,613 Chinese and North Ko-

lied side, who have chosen not
to go home. Also held are 335
captured members of United Ma
tions forces. Among them are 81
Americans and one Briton. who
so far have refused repatriation.
The Communists want the men
held until a peace conference de-
cides their fate. The U. N. in
sists they be freed.
Mr.. Robertson, asked If he was
optimistic about resumption of

peace conference, replied:
Optimistic is the wrong word
because I'm never optimistic
about anything the Communists
do. But I think the negotiations
will get going again."
