Captain Dough, a veteran sports
mans guide for the past 33 years
was called upon early during the
meeting to tell the story of per-
haps the biggest living thing evel
hooked by an angler in N. C.
coastal waters. He told the story
Of how DR.. Cecil K. Drinker of
Boston, fishing at Oregon Inlet
from his boat the Libby D. about
20 years ago. hooked a pigmy sperm
whale weighing more than 2,00C
pounds and how it was necessary
: to use a swordfish dart to bring
the salt water mammal aboard
AS he talked, Capt. Dough showed
a picture of the whale which is
now on exhibit at a marine mu-
scum of a New England universe
ty.
Capt. Dough was later awarded

MAN WILL NEVER FLY
SOCIETY IS ORGANIZED
BY GENE ROBERTS JR.

MACS Head.-What do you say
when a guy walks up to you,
stares squarely into your light
brown eyeballs and says: "Buddy,
man will never fly"
If you were here at The Caro-
linian Wednesday night and smart
and fond of fine food and drink,
you stared right back and said:
Absolutely not! The notion is
absurd"
And if you said the magic phrase,
you were handed a card which
made you a lifetime member of the
MAN WILL NEVER FLY ME-
MORTAL SOCIETY.
A handful of men with glass in
hand and tongue in cheek formed
the Society Wednesday night and
dedicated it to the proposition that
two Yankees named Wilbur and
'Orville fooled the world.
Outside the door of the meeting
room were a couple of broken pro-
pellers and worn fragments of an
airplane wing, and two broken arms
from mannikin.
Some jokester had placed a beer
can squarely in tht hands of the
mannikin-within two steps of the
sign which said: "Man Will Never
Fly :. we said (pause) it couldn't
be done"
The motto of the Society is,
eve soar the night before"
An Elizabeth City radioman, Jack
Aulis, who as Thinker No. 1, heads
the organization, welcomed the
charter members:
each year on the eve of the So
called first flight we will honor
the foresig tedness of those
thoughtful people who, prior to
Dec. II, 1908, said it to Wilbur
and said it to Orville 1T will never
leave the ground
"And we will honor those eau
tious editors who rejected secret
reports that the Wrights' flying
machine had left the solid sands
of Kill Devil Hills for the blue
yonder."
Aulfs introduced "an actual re-
cording" to show the first flight
was an even bigger fraud than the
television quiz shows.
"This recording proves once and
for all that Outer Banks pubicist
Aycock Brown dreamed up the
whole idea of the first flight and
furthermore got the two Wright
brothers to pose for a rugged pic
ture."
"Tsk, tsk," commented Ed North,
Thinker No. an Elizabeth City
physician, "wfat fraud"
But then DR.. North, in a low,
cautious whisper said, eff you
want to know the truth of why
this organization was formed, l
can tell you in three words. We
were lonesome"
"Last year only about five of
us were down here on the eve of
the anniversary celebration. We
figured if we got us a little organ
ization going we could have US a
good get-together each year," he
added.

Big Dairy Year,
Forecast Claims

Dairy farmers will market
more dairy products in 1859
than ever before, according to a
report from Florence Y. Smith,
county home demonstration
agent.
She says the US. Agricultural
Marketing Service forecasts a
production of l25 billion pounds
of milk this year.
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra
Taft Benson has said, ''the dairy
industry has made admirable use
of technical progress and sound
management to improve the eff
cheney of its production and
marketing. AS a result, milk is
now more economical for the
average family than ever be-
fore"
One hours work in a factory
in 1889 would buy l0.4 pints OF
milk; today that same hours
work will buy 1853 pints, Mrs.
Smith said, referring to USDA
figures.
Dairy products are outstand-
ing values in terms of economy,
Smyrna times., 1959-06-25

and anthracnose are three toma-
to diseases that usually give gar
deners trouble. Late blight also
causes trouble during some sea-
sons.
Maneb or zineb will control
all four of these tomato diseas-
Ies, but neither one will control
bacterial spot. Mr.. Vapaa recon-
mends using maneb 70 percent
wettable powder at the rate of
one level tablespoon in a gallon
of water, or one and one-third
tablespoons of zineb 65 percent
wettable powder in a gallon of
water. Sprays are usually bet
ter than dusts.
Start spraying when the first
flower cluster blooms. Continue
the spray every week to 10 days
until the fruit is ripe. Be sure to
cover the entire plant.
Unlike an insect-killing spray,
a fungicide must cover every ex-
posed spot on a plant to give
complete control, he said. In
sects crawl around and touch a
spray-covered area even if the
whole plant is not covered. But
if a fungus spore lands on an
unsprayed area, infection can
begin on the spot.
Either commercial maneb or
zineb fungicides or general-pur-
pose garden dusts containing
these fungicides are suitable for
use on tomatoes.
Smyrna times., 1959-06-25
Water Roses In
Summer Months

Roses will need regular wat
ering and fertilization during
the warm summer months, ac-
cording to George Vapaa, coun-
ty agricultural agent.
Plants will do better with a
monthly feeding of a 5-I0-lO
fertilizer up until August l..
Sprinkle a handful of this bal
anced plant food around each
plant, scratch it into the soil
surface and water it in, he sug-
gests.
Applying a mulch in June
will help keep the soil cooler,
reduce the loss of soil moisture,
and help to control weeds too.
Possible mulching materials are
peat moss, composted leaves,
ground corn cobs, and well-rot-
ted hardwood sawdust.
Hardy chrysanthemums need
additional feeding now and a
gain in August, he says. Scat
ter a handful of 5-l0-5 or 5-l0-
10 fertilizer around each plant
and work in lightly.
Spraying for insects and di-
seases is also a regular sum-
mer chore," Vapaa said. Roses
and NUNS both need to be pro-
tected for best results.
A combination spray of DDT,
malathion, karathane, and par
zate will control most troubles
on these plants.
Perennials also need stalking
for the best display, he said.
Discarded string or ribbon can
be used for tying the plants to
the stakes. Keep well ahead
of the new growth with the
stalking. Tie them up before
they are in bloom and before
they are knocked down by wind
or rain.
Bedding plants of all kinds
can still be planted to fill in
vacant spots. Plants will with
stand the shock of transplant
ing better if a starter solution
is applied. Water before and
after transplanting and mulch
as soon as they are placed Va
paa advised.
