CITRUS FRUIT RIpENING
AT CAPE HATTERAS

Although they are not grown
commercially, oranges, grapefruit,
lemons, tangerines, comquots and
other varieties of citrus fruit, are
ripening in the semi-tropical eli
mate of Buxton-on Cape Hatteras.
This years crop is one of the best
n many seasons and plants pro-
yided by the State Department of
Conservation and Development, a
Few years ago have borne much
fruit this year.
The largest local harvests, have
come from older trees, such as
those in the yards of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. P. White and other natives of
the community who planted their
own trees by accident many years
ago. The older trees came from
seeds that had once been table
scraps thrown to chickens or to
pigs.
Citrus fruit is being produced
from trees as far north in Dare
as Manteo and also Hatteras vii
lage, but they grow in most pro-
fusion here at Buxton where the
Cape Woods have always been dis
tinguished by growth of semi
tropical plants ranging from pal
metto to yucca.
After the citrus trees that were
planted by accident reached a pro-
ducing stage, other residents ex-
pressed desire to have oranges or
grapefruit growing in their yards.
1t was through the efforts of Ben
Dixon MacNeill, who lives here,
and his friend, the late Fred La
than of Belhaven, that the states
department of conservation and de-
velopment made the citrus plants
available resulting in most of the
residents of the area now being
owners of producing fruit trees.

REDSKINS SLIDE TO VICTORY
OVER COLUMBIA TEAMS;
CONQUER CENTRAL TWICE

The Manteo Redskins literally
slid to victory in two games
against the Columbia Wildcats last
Friday night in the Manteo gym.
The high school boys who helped
Coach Ayers clean and wax the
gym floor on Friday afternoon, got
a little too ambitious with the wax,
and as a result the floor by game
time was like a big sheet of glass.
Players who tried to go after a
ball, either ran in one spot or slid
four feet when they attempted to
stop.
The Manteo girls, led by Carol
Perry and Helen Baum, who scored
16 points each, got off to a 1873
first quarter lead, and were never
headed by the Columbia team as
Manteo won 45-35.
The Manteo boys, also had a
lot of difficulty standing up, with
Columbia finding it almost impos-
sible to keep the ball, or work
their plays, they scored only l
point in the first quarter, and the
Redskins had 25-7 halftime lead.
Final score was Manteo "a, Column
bia ~. Gary Meekins was high
point leader for Manteo with Ia
points.
Tuesday night at Central, the
Manteo girls ran into their first
real opposition as they racked up
their fifth straight victory by de-
feating the Central team.
The Green Wave girls had a
1913 lead at the end of the first
quarter, but were behind 24-23 at
halftime. The score was tied only
once in the third quarter, with the
Redskins going on to win 51-44.
Carol Perry, who only scored 4
points in the first quarter, came
through in the final 8 quarters,
scoring 81 points for the evening.
Helen Baum was second with 16
points.
The Manteo boys, who got off
to a fast start, then slowed down,
then came up and proceeded to
walk over the Central boys with
ease, beating them 45-31. Gary
Meekins again led the attack for
the Redskins with II points, fol-
lowed closely by Hughes Tillett
with 16.
This was the last game before
the Christmas holidays for the
Manteo teams. Action will be re-
sumed on Friday, January 8, when
Manteo will entertain Moyock in a
J.V. game, a girls game and a
boys game.

BONNER SPEAKS AT
LAUNCHING OF BIG
PASSENGER LINER
Merchant Marine Committee
Chairman at Paseagoula. Miss.
Monday

Hon. Herbert C. Bonner was the
speaker at the launching of the
IS Brazil at Pascagoula, Miss.
Monday. The ship is the largest
liner built in the United States
since the SIS United States. Mr..
Bonner, Congressman from the
First N. C. District, is chairman
of the House Committee on Mer-
chant Marine, Coast Guard and
Fisheries. Excerpts from his
speech follow:
''It is indeed a pleasure and a
great honor to be here today in
PascAgoula in the shipyard of In
gals Shipbuilding Corporation,
builder of many fine ships, and
among the foremost of American
shipyards. We can be proud of this
yara as typical of the industrial
energy of the South.
'This is an occasion which /
have long awaited-one which, in
my opinion, is much overdue.
"Ie is an occasion which in a
very real sense symbolizes the
fulfiilment Of the long range pur-
poses of the Merchant Marine Act
of 1896. BY that Act the Congress
provided the mechanism for tradi-
tionai Free American enterprise to
join in partnership with the Gov
eminent in support of our economy
and defense which have been,
and more than ever are, dependent
upon a strong merchant marine for
their very existence.
The intervening years have been
strenuous ones-years of more
violent change than has ever taken
place in recorded history. These
changes have been such as to raise
questions in the minds of many as
to the adequacy of the Act to inn
plement its declared policy.
"This ship and the SIS ARGEN-
TINA are the modern replace
ments of their two namesakes,
which together with the SIS URU-
QUAY, made up the GOOD
NEIGHBOR FLEET of Moore-Mc-
Cormack Lines in 1888. They have
given constant service over the
years to strengthen the bonds be-
between this country and South
America. Those fine ships have
long since earned their right to
honorable retirement, having piled
the United States intercoastal
trade for nearly ten years before
entering the South American serv-
ice. They made a great contribu-
ton to our military effort in World
War III, before returning to their
place in the rapidly developing
commerce with our neighbors in
the southern hemisphere.
81 would like to tell you a few
things about the newest addition
to the American merchant marine.
"She is the largest passenger
mating passenger may get an all
over tan, 100 feet above the water
line atop the ships stack.
she exceeds OH feet IN length
with beam of "a feet and a dis
placement of 22,770 tons. She will
be propelled by geared turbines of
1880 horsepower, driven by twin
propeIlers.
"She will cruise at speed in
excess of % knots, and will acco-
nlmodate-on a one class basis
