Leaf Market Has
S55.34 Average

Plagued by poor grades OF to-
bacco the local leaf market posted
an average of S54.02 on ycster-
days (Tuesday) sale of 283.478
pounds.
Yesterdays sale brought the
season poundage to 4,040,499 for
an average of 1854. Approx
mately S2,236.012.14 has been paid
out by the local tobacco market
since the opening on August 2.
With the release of these fig
ures it is noted that the market is
running far behind last years
bumper crop. After four weeks of
sales during the 1853 season. the
market had paid out $1,000. 76O
for 4,938.5l2 pounds of the golden
leaf. During the same period this
year there has been $4,000
pounds.
The poor grade of tobacco has
cut the amount of money paid out.
We continue TO hope that the grade
will improve and boost our season
average" said Lee Wright. sales
supervisor of the Tabor City
Market.
Most farmers are in agreement
that this years crop is selling bet.
ter than that of last year; however,
the quality of last season is not
available.

Teen-Age Gang Caught
In Roundup At Beach
T.y FRED >POWLEDGE

MYRTLE BEACH, Aug. 81
Myrtle Beach police, who Monday
arrested ten teen-age members of
a secret "Chico" beach-bum soci-
ETY., held in their Jail today the
squat, blonde girl leader of the
gang.
Tie girl, whY .Cyrt.T.,.. ne.
as Miss Jean Fielder, 20, formerly
of Lexington, N. c.. and now a
resident OF Chesterfield, readily
admitted She's the one VINO start
cd the tattoing" which landed ten
of her boy-friends in Jail, accord
ing to Myrtle Beach Police Chief
w. c. Newton.
Chief Newton sail: Miss Fielder,
object of a beach-wide search
Monday, turned herself in to police
around midnight Monday. She
bore on her hand, between her
thumb and index finger, the mark
of the Chico gang of teen-aGe
beach-bums-an indelible cross.
Chief Newton said the girl had
tried to remove the mark with
Sandpapcr, but did not succeed.
Miss Fielder told police she was
tattooed by her boy friend" last
winter. Her boy friend, according
to Miss Fielder and police here, is
presently serving time in the fed
eral pcnitentiary in Richmond, Va.
The girl, identified by some OF
the ten youths jailed here Monday
as "Squatlo,' was said to be leader
of bunch of girls" around Myr-
tie Beach, as well as self-admitted
originator of the art of tattooing
teen-age hands in the Myrtle
Beach area.
The tattoo, observed police Of
ficerS, strongly resembles that of
members of the recently exposed
"Pachucu" hoodlums at an air
force base in Texas.
Chief Newton said he first heard
of the gang about 80 days ago, but
teen-age sources around the beach
placed the groups birth here dur
ing the summer of 1853.
Chico activities were first un-
covered at Myrtle Beach last FRI
day night when an 18-year-old
Myrtle Beach youth, Cliff Coan,
was struck on the back of the head
with bottle at the Myrtle Beach
Rec" beach-front recreation
cen,er.
The injured youth said he was
struck with a soft drink bottle as
he was dancing with a girl at the
Rec" Coan named his assailant
as Roy Hinson, 16, from Rock Hill.
He said the bottle broke and cut
him behind his left ear and left
a long cash on the top of his head.
Coan said he had taken a knife
from hinson earlier in the sum-
mer.
Police picked up Hinson and
booked him for assault and battery
and intent to kill. They said Hin
son bore on his left hand, between
MS thumb and index finger,
cross mark.
Police then issued an order to
pick UP any and all teen-agers
who carried the Chico" mark
and at sunset Monday the Jail was
almost full-"but Jail doors are
o.,sn," said Chief Newton, "for
any more youths who bear the
mark"
The ten tcen-agers, stripped of
their shirts for police photographs
Monday afternoon, sat in the po-
lice station, quiet and humble,
passing around cigarette. Each
wore, along with his indelible
cross, a "cat cut" and draped
pants.

WRANGELL'S NAVY NAKESAKE HAS SALTY MASCOT

NEW YORK --P- II Salty Sam -ene only dog who rides a Navy ship as mascot - could talk, he might clear up a mystery of the sea.
 The little black and Waite pooch was the only living thing found a. board a derelict Portuguese fishing boat drifting in the North Atlantic in October, 1953.
 The yessei, flying a distress flag, was discovered by the [. $. Navy auxiliary ship WrangeH. The Wran- gels crewmen found on the ship Un.y a dead man and Salty Sam, - then a badly emaciated pup. There was no indication Of what happen ed 10 the other crew members.
 Navy rules forbade taking an an imal aboard ship. So the Wrangen began towing the dere.iet.
 The next day the fishing boat broke up and sank. Salty Sam could be seen padding desperately in the high seas. Capt George Dem etropolis threw the rules over board and had Salty Sam hauled to safety.
 When the Wrangell returned to port. Demetropolis obtained per- mission to keep the dog on as mas cot - to the delight of 13 other officers and 202 crewmen of the ship.
 Demetropolis now is administra- tive officer of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The Wrangell is under the command of Capt. John Corbus of Vallejo. Calf
 Yesterday the Wrangell hove in to the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Demetropolis was on hand with his seven -year-old daughter, Angelica
 Salty Sam. so named by the Wrangell crew. is a fat and sassy character now. But when he saw Demetropolis he gave his benefae- tor and all-out greeting of frantic tail-wagging and hand-licking.
 Still, if Salty Sam could only Idlh.

 ON PACIFIC COAST

SAN FRANCISCO -R- \ ereep- ing paralysis caused by a West Coast radiomen's strike was spread ing through Pacific Coast ports de- laying the sailing of several ves- sels and forcing changes in scbed- ules for others. The number of yes sels tied up in Portland. San Fran cisco and Seattle was likely 10 reach leo before long unless a set clement was reached between the Pacific Maritime Association and the CIO American Radio Associa- ton members
 The strike started when ship owners were notified by the Union Wednesday that tho PIMA will not honor contract signed with the Union last June. No contract. no work, Union leaders said
 Some ships were released by the Union. including two Alaska Steamship Company vessels. the Lu- eidor and Cinema They were sched- nied to sail in the next day or so.
 lt was not clear whether the Al aska ships were released because the radiomen had already signed on before the strike was called or be cause of Seattle's Mayors mari time advisory committee had re- lquested exemption for Alaska ships.
 ships were not being picketed but were being held in port by a. greement with other unions. The ships will not be manned until the dispute is settled.
 Some pickets were used at first but were withdrawn to permit lougshoremen to work where possi- blt without being hampered by piekets although the boats will not sail until a settlement is reached.
