YWCA HighI1ghts !.

The scholarship and contribu-
ton subcommittee of the c.. w.
Carver branch YMCA is anxious
to help youngsters in Dade Coun-
ty to take a part in the whole
some recreational programs under
supervised leadership. In order to
do this it is necessary for the
citiZenry to provide funds for
these youngsters who cannot af-
ford to pay. The Carver Branch
Summer Program begins June Is
and runs through August Is.
DAY CAMP
Day Camp will be held at Vir-
ginia Key Beach beginning June
Is through July %, at 900 am.
to 300 pm. Monday through Fri
day.
The Day Camp Program is
ideal, and is provided primarily
for working parents who desire
to keep their youngsters busy
during the summer. Day Camp
ing is a world of fun and adven-
ture, a world of doing, a world
of magic. The program will in
clude: arts and crafts, devotions,
games, fishing, hiking, singing,
Softball, swimming, field trips,
volleyball and good fellowship.
Day Camp rates include trans
portation, field trips, craft ma
terials, milk or juice for each
camper at lunch.
RESIDENCE CAMP
Many worthy youngsters are
looking forward to the residence
camp which begins August 6, end
ing August Is. Lake Placid Boys
camp is owned and operated by
the YMCA of Miami and is locat-
ed so miles northwest of Miami.
The program of resident camp
is based upon a philosophy of
ideals and practices of the Chris
tan religion. Boys have the OPP
portunity to learn new SkillS, to
enjoy the thrill of outdoor living
and of learning how to get along
with other people. Fifty-two dol
lars which includes the total cost
of the summer program will pro-
vide a unique experience for a
worthy boy in this community.
The goal of this committee is
to enable 100 worthy boys in
Dade County to take advantage of
the YMCA summer program. Per-
sons or organizations interested in
contributing to this worthy cause
are asked TO contact Mrs. Susan
Harris, chairman of the scholar

at the same time they vote on the
JAIL
1t seems the Board of Commits
sioners would look for a better
manager, for the figures show
that whoever is giving them their
advice is poor as a business man
as well as political adviser. 1t
may be that the Board got mad
when the people disapproved what
was proposed in July and as one
is reported to have said, decided
to show the people who is boss. At
any rate they seem bent on vast
ing money, come hell or high wa
ter, and they have proved their
kind of management by almost
doubling taxes at a time when they
could have been reduced.
What some people might over
look is that the county isn't going
to get lot, of money next year
it is used to getting. It's going to
lose some $1,000 in bingo money.
1t is now losing the beer tax that
once came from now dry Banks.
1t has not collected some $4,000
of the 1854 taxes, and several
thousands of taxes due for prior
years, at time when the greatest
of prosperity has flourished.
Worst of all, it's going to be
harder to collect the 100000 taxes
levied this year, for the business
driven away by the summers hur-
ricanes has left so many people
in bad shape for cash, they won't
pay their taxes on time.
All indications point to hard
row of stumps for the taxpayers
of Dare County this year and next.

POsT-ROGERS

Charles K. Post, steelworker
attached to the Navy's Seabee
unit stationed at Cape Hatteras,
and Miss Jean Rogers, both of
Eldorado, Ark, were married at
Indianola, Miss, last Sunday and
arrived on Hatteras Island in
time for work Tuesday morning.
They are making their new home
at the Orange Blossom House in
Buxton.
Both are descendants of sound
North Carolina stock that moved
west three generations ago, the
brides people being related to the
we'll known Rogers family of
Haywood County and the Posts
grandfather being a native of
Mecklenburg county. But both
look forward to the day when their
Navy hitch is done and they can
go home to Arkansas.
Post left Cape Hatteras for a
week end at home and the first
glimpse he had had of his girl
since he joined the Navy IA months
ago. No marriage was planned but
when he got home there was so
little time left for visiting that he
just took his girl and set out,
stopping off long enough in In
dianola to find a preacher and get
married. The round trip covered
$500 miles.
So awed was the Seabee's new
commanding officer, Lieutenant
Buck, by the feat of, travelling that
he gave the young bridegroom a
day off to get squared away.

WANCHESE MAN HEADS
NEW USN SUPPLY UNIT
Commander Royce |. Daniels Officer
in Charge Of First Supply Depot
OF Its Kind

Of much interest in Dare County
is the news that Commander Royce
L. Daniels, sc USN is now in
rge of the Norfolk Naval
sply Center's Ninth Depot,
which opened for business on
September 30th., Last year, we
carried a story of Commander
Daniels career and his photo. He
has made an exceptional record
with the Navy, and his home folks
are very proud of him, for he
worked his way up from enlisted
man.
The new depot of which he has
charge is an outgrowth of the
Supply Center's General Supply
Depot. 1t combines the functions
of the General Supply Depot cold
storage division and stores section
ar" (dry provisions) of the Cen
eral Supply Depot material divi-
sion.
The mission of PSD is to reuui-
sition, receive, store and issue sub
sistence stores to ships, shore
stations and overseas bases. 1t is
under the military control of the
Supply Center and the manage
ment control of the Bureau of
Supplies & Accounts. 1t will oper-
ate according to the directives of
BuSandA and the Nays Provi-
sions Supply Office.
Cdr. Daniels was former General
Supply Depot cold storage division
officer, and has been named officer
in charge of the new component.
1t. (jg) R. H. Joseph, sc, USN,
is assistant officer in charge.
On the occasion of PSD's estab-
lishment, Cdr. Bruce Owens, sc,
use, officer in charge of the
General Supply Depot, noted the
Importance of the new depot and
its work of provisioning the fleet.
"Food is basic to all other re-
quirements and as such constitutes
the most important category of
material handled in the Naval
Supply Center" Cdr. Owens said.
More than any other, the provi-
sion operation calls for extremely
close supervision and timely
scheduling. The establishment of
Provisions Supply Depot is be-
lieved to be significant advance
ment in recognition of these facts.
The General Supply Depot con-
graduates the newest member of
our family of depots and offers
best wishes for a successful
career"
The Supply Center renders pro-
visions supply support to approx
mately 1870 ships month. In addi-
ton, it supplies local galleys and
igned shore activities in the
Eth Naval District. Provisions
are shipped overseas to bases at
Argentina, Bermuda, San Juan,
Guantanamo Bay and Trinidad.
Refer (cold storage) ships loaded
at Norfolk carry out Meditterran-
can replenishment. The new depot
will give specialized attention to
the problems peculiar to the supply
of each category of material.
consolidation of su osistehce
functions will permit closer liason
with the fleet in all matters con-
corning provisions" Cdr. Daniels
pointed out. Gin this way we can
achieve the best coo.dinated eff
fort to provision the fleet at the
earliest possible time
In order to permit PSD TO COM

Fortieth Year Of
Continental Phone
Calls Observed

This week marked the 10th an
niversary of the first transcontin-
entail long distance call, on jan
uary %. 1915.
II was fitting enough that the
| inventor of the telephone, Alexan-
der Graham Bell, should be at one
end Of the line for that initial con-
versation-and that his one-tine
assistant, Thomas A. Watson,
should be at the other. For the
very first words ever uttered over
the telephone were from Bell 10
Watson back in 1875. The inven-
tor spoke into the instrument he
had Just built and Watson, in a
nearby room, heard his voice.
II was not until 1892 that the
westward march Of the telephone
as an instrument for long distance
calls was really started. That
year New York was linked with
Chicago BY 1897 the line had been
extended across Illinois and Iowa
and was terminated at Omaha.
The midwest remained the end
Of the line for a number Of years
II was 1911 before Denver was
reached and not until 1913 that the
line was stretched 10 Salt Lake
city.
Back in 1915 the Bell System
was serving 100000 telephones.
Today the figure is $3.50 900. To-
day, out-of-town calling Is a com
monplace and the daily average Of
long distance calls IL over seven
Million.
Perhaps the most interesting
contract between then and now II
the reduction in the rate. In 1915
II took si270 10 buy the first
three minutes on a call from
Omaha 10 San Francisco. Today
that rate is only S2O5 during day
hours, even less al night
