MANTEO MAN LOST
IN BOAT MISHAP IN
GULF OF MEXICO
News Comes Monday Of Death of
Samuel Clark Midget on
July Fl

Samuel Clark Midget, AZ, has
been given up for lost in the Gulf
of Mexico since July 81, accord
ing to letter received Monday,
August 10 by his mother, Mrs.
Neva Midget in Manteo. He was
captain of a shrimp vessel oper-
ating out of Campeche, Mexico,
and was employed by Thompson
Enterprises of Key West.
According to letter from the
company's office in Key West,
Midget, with his companion,
Arthur Hayes had set out at $3.50
in the afternoon of July q for the
long run to the shrimping grounds,
to be ready early next day. Mid
gett took the wheel and told Hayes
to get some sleep. Sometime later
Hayes awoke in the bunk, half
stifled by smoke which was COM
/ ing from below, and finding Mid
gett not at the wheel, concluded he
had gone below to attempt to put
out the fire.
Hayes, the letter said, then
made his escape in a liferaft. The
boat went to the bottom. Midgett's
body was not found.
Midget was one of the several
men in the American shrimping
fleet unprecedented and fined by
Mexican authorities last year be-
cause they got inside the newly
defined territorial fishing limits.
He was an experienced boatman
and long engaged in the business.
He was a Coastguardsman in
World War II and had been let
out for disability.
He was born in Elizabeth City,
son of the late A. w. Midget, and
Mrs. Neva Midget. Beside his
mother, he is survived by son,
Louis Alexander Is, of Cape
Charles, Va. and five brothers:
Leonard Midget and Charles d.
Midget of Manteo; Worth Mid
gett of Norfolk; Earl R. Midget
of Galveston, and, Oscar M. Mid
gett of Miami, Fla.
Relatives say he survived tor
pedoed ship in World War II and
always said he wished to be buried
| at sea.

The person concerned in this
sketch is the Reverend Louis De-
Marc Hayman. Born January 8,
1885, the son of Capt. Daniel and
Mary Perry Hayman. His early
childhood was spent at Kitty
Hawk where he was born. Later
at Paul Gamiels Hill Life Saving
Station. After his mothers death in
1901 his father a member of the
U. S. Life Saving Service, moved
his family to Manteo where the
seven children lived to adulthood.
Time marched on, and this family
of children moved to different
parts of North Carolina and en-
gagged in business, and in tim e
married.
EARLY in manhood, Louis Hay
man felt the call to preach, and
was licensed by the Elizabeth City
District Conference, April IA, 1907.
The first three years of his minis
terial life Were lived at Wanchese,
where he engaged in commercial
fishing with Joe Tom Daniels and
Lynton Daniels forming, a partner
ship in this enterprise. By 1910, this
young minister felt definitely the
call 10 enter the itinerate ministry
of the Methodist Church, forsook
his nets, left the haunts Of early
life, and set himself to the long
and trying task of obtaining edu-
cation that would fit him for the
work he had chose for a lifetime.
He spent two years in the high
school of Siler City. Completing
this unit, he applied for entrance
into, the ranks of the Freshman
Glass Of 1909, at Trinity College in
Durham, N. C. At the end of four
years he graduated with his class
in 1913, with a grade average, of
80. Three years previously he had

ence of the Methodist Church and

Indignation is, in fact, a
great problem for these folk,
because of the diversity of
racial strains among them,
making for wide differences
in color. In general, though,
they are rejected or at least
suspected by both Negroes
and whites, neither group
as a whole being willing to
identify with the islanders.
It would be useful to have
a study of this type done with
more emphasis on the religious
aspects. Though articles
aplenty are being written by
priests working among the
Puerto Ricans and by Catho-
lie social workers, they do not
get as much attention as a
trade book of this sort, which
adds reliability and good
humor to worthwhile subject

Sum and Substance:
Will Nuclear Power Solve
The Population Problem?
by Fir. John b. Sheerin, esp.

Too many people and
too little food. That is
said to be the worlds
number one problem.
The teeming millions of
Asia are reproducing at a
rapid rate but their food sup
ply is not increasing.
Take China for instance. It
now numbers $40 millions
and in about Is years the
population will exceed one
billion. In many countries of
Asia the people are only one
step ahead of starvation at
present. What will they do 10
years from now?
BIRTH CONTROL
A number of solutions to
this problem of overpopula-
ton have been advanced. The
one most generally discussed
is birth control. Cannibalism
would seem like a logical So
luton for those who don't
hold to a moral law. But I
suppose it would offend sensi-
bilities.

cannibalism or murder but
less vulgar and messy. 1t
means the survival of the un-
fittest since the educated
classes will practice it and the
ignorant will not - but that's
beside the question.
In mid-December, the Ninth
international Conference on
Social Work was held at To-
kyo. Or. GUnnar MyrdaI told
the assembled delegates that
birth control was indispensa-

in underdeveIoped countries.
He said: ~. your discussion
Of the social needs in under
developed countries would be

not give due emphasis to This

Moreover, he attacked West
ern society generally for its
opposition to birth control. He
claimed that birth control was
considered "a subversive ac-
tivity" in the West because of
this opposition. He put the
blame on "the law, the church,
the medical profession, the
press and the whole educa-
tional structure"
The Catholic delegates were

espoused birth control. He
