that such was not the case.

The executive committee of the trustees took its action at the suggestion of Dr. Jenkins in order to put the matter of keeping the Higher Board informed on a formal basis. As a matter of fact,

Morgan asserted, Dr. Jenkins framed the wording used in the motion passed by the executive' committee. /

Jenkins has been carrying out the clearly expressed local people put flowers on graves of loved

ones only to return in a few days and find them missing.

. One lady called the other day to point out this had happened to her twice in recent years. One year, she said, she placed a wreath on her husband*s grave a few days before Easter and was out of town over the holiday. When she returned she found the wreath was missing on Easter Sunday.

Public ""Works Superintendent Kenneth Beatty confims that this happens at times, although the culprits are difficult to apprehend. He noted there have been reports in the past of azaleas, planted on cemetery lots, being dug up and taken away.

It does' little good to appeal to the moral sense of those who would steal flowers from graves. But for those who might decide to do such a thing during the upcoming Easter season, let us poiht out that it is against the law. While this might not strike fear in their hearts, they should be aware that if they are caught and convicted it could prove embarrassing, as well as inconvenient.

Seafood Offers !3ia. Potentia.

(Editors note; The following guest column dealing with North Carolinas seafood potential is by the womans editor of the Raleigh Times.)

By JOHANNA GRIMES

MOREHEAD CITY Every year, thousands of people visit the North Carolina Coast to vacation and to eat the states famous, delicious seafood.

If people go all the way to the coast to ea4 seafood, theres no reason they wont go to the supermarket to buy the same product from the frozen food lockers. If the iroducts have the same flavor and texture.

Its a bigbut not impossibleif.

Right now, there*s a little white converted horse barn near here that is well on its way to giving local seafood processing a giant shot in the rm.

ICt called Marine Chemer-gics, Inc., or chemistry ap-^ed to marine life.

Established in 1957, the privately operated firm has always worked to upgrade fish-vy products. It has received niost of its supports from the menhaden industry, one of the most advanced fisheries in the United States.

The technological knowhow in carrying out extensive projects for menhadi interests on the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts is now being called upon to solve some of the urgent problems of other ^seafood fisheries. i,

^ Most urgent is a way to assist ; fishermen in marketing, according to Tad Miller, who supervises the research center.

Marketing methods have, not changed substantially in* 80 years. They involve mixing fish with ice'and shipping to large city markets where the final, often "too low price, is determined by quality, supply and demand. If there is a ^ut of fish, the demand is low and the price is determined by over-abundance rather tlun by the intrinsic value of the product.

With funds supplied by Carteret CJounty and the Area

Redevelopment Administration in the form of a Technical Assistance Grant, Mar ine Chemergics has set up projects to study the freezing of seafoods in a way that preserves the flavor and to also prepare sufficient quantities for large scale market tests to establish acceptability.

Projects have ranged from frozen trout to blocks of shHmp creole and clam chowder but freezing of raw seafood has received the most emphasis.

With die aid of local ma-powcr, the food has been processed righti in the spotl ess little building.

Weve shown how, for $5,-000, the people can go into small-scale processing them-s e IV e s,* c 0 m m e n ted Dr. Frank Thomas of N. C. State University. Dr. Thomas, who is in food processing, acts as an advisor to the Carteret County project. ^

Weve had a lot of hard work with this project, he continued. But, weve had a lot of fun with it, too.

Dr. Diomas is very pleased with the quality of the products a la Carteret County. Weve learned a lot of things in this simply by doing it ourselves, first, he said.

Marine Chemergics has recommended, on the basis of its own research, that men now engaged in handling fresh seafood venture into freezing the products.

In a one - year summary of the project. Dr. Thomas states that smaller processing plants located throughout the county are preferable to one big central establishment.

Ha also recommends that handling establish me n t s already eziltaat should venture into proeessing.

There Is no h^itancy in recommending ) that these establishments expan4 into the field ol raw seafood packaging and freezing, be said. Experience and skin must be acquired before the more complicated forms of processing are undertaken, and preparation of precooked frozen seafoods should not be consid-ercd^at present

President Johnson has peeves, consumers are peeved, labor has peeves. Democrats and Republicans are peeved at each other, members of NATO are peeved, some Vietnamese are peeved.

The Wall Street Journal after a survey found consumers across the nation peeved at rising prices.

This couldnt help but peeve Johnson who wants prices held steady. Its obvious some elements of business are ignoring him.

Labor is peeved at Johnson for insisting wage increases should not go up more than 3.2 per cent, although busi ness profits are soaring.

With prices rising, living cost are going up, and Johnson, fearing inflation, is peeved at the bought of it.

So he has indicated he may ask Ckingress as an antiinflation measure to boost taxes on individual and corporate income. This would ^probably peeve most people.

Living costs have gone up 2.5 per cent in a year. If Johnson

' Herald-Advertiser)

The government was working up a modest new tax program last week some-thii^ that politicians hate to do in an election year and we overheard Mr. Brown trying to explain the idea to Mr. Smith.

Said Mr. Smith: I dont understand-it. Last year, or the year before, Congress cut taxes to get the economy moving. Now theyre raising taxes. The government needs more tax revenue to fight the Viet Nam War, said Mr. Brown. But they got more revenue when they cut taxes, Mr. Smith objected. In fact, that was the reason they gave for the tax cut,

Thats true,. Mr. Brown agreed, but now the economy is all heated up and they cant push it any further without running into inflation. They figure they have to skim off some of ttie peoples money or there will be more buyers than there will be things to buy. Hiat drives up prices

and causes inflation.

But if they cool off the economy, wont that reduce the gross national product and cause the government to lose more in taxes than the tax increases will create? Maybe not for a while. said Mr. Brown. Unemployment is down below 4 per cent which means that nearly everybody employable is working. Its time to put on the brakes.

Mr. Smith shifted his tactics. If the government is putting the br^es on the economy and skimming the cream off the consumers income, how come it isnt practicing what it jM*eaches? The war in Viet Nam is skimming the cream off its income, so why does the I^ident keep on proposing new social and cultural programs? And if everybody employable is employed, why do we have to fight poverty so hard and so expensively?

Youll have to excuse me, said Mr. Brown. I have to catch my bus.

old and battered typewriter did,, and of course, being of the feminine gender, she did on occasion frustrate my reason.

Being an old standard type-#writer, a bit old-fashioned in her ways and bulk, she never went anywhere and in that appeared content. If she had any e n V y in her, she never mentioned it, never threw it up to me that it was always the frisky,' little, sashaying portable who went all the places, to Dar es Salaam and Paris and the South Pole and Palm Beach and the Bering Strait and Nairobi and Rio. and Rome and uncounted places in. between. The old standard, bless her, never went anywhere, not even to Hazelton, Pa.

The portable had speed and spark and dash, more like a flashy mistressl But it always was the old typewriter, stolid and true and loyal without de-'mand, that a man returned to, the way he returns to the solid comfort of a wife.

The portable could get you In trouble, the old standard almost , never. In the vulgarity of her haste, the portable would seduce you Into such useless words as fabulous or historic or nondescript or fantastic. Not the old standard. In her quiet way she insisted on more precision and grace and reflection and, with an instinctive inner wisdom, always sought to slow you down and keep you from the expedient cliche. She, herself, even when young, was incapable of great speed and made you pause between words to command you respect for words.

Now I have a new standard typewriter, a ck, shiny, modem, streamlined gaiety model of relentless efficiency. It is a German typewriter and, of course, will brook no nonsense, accept no frailty and is constantly reminding me to use ITS paper injector selector switch, its decimal tabulator or its combined margin release and type disentangler.

The banknqitcy of contemporary Mexican Msrxilm hat just been proved by the feeble response of the public to Viet Cong Week, iriiicb actually dribbled along for ten days of listless cel^rations in half-*mpty halls and semlrdescrt-ed public squares. The effort to revive moribund anti-Yan-kee grudges by burning the U. S. flag brought cheers from a handful of hard-core Communists, but the heralded unity of (he Marxist parti s the Communist Party of Mexico and the Popular Socialist Party was limited to the single theme of anti-Americanism. W ith Soviet-supported Castroism and Chinese Maoism taking divergent courses, the local Marxis t s are ideologically splintered beyond immediate repair.

By contrast with the Marxists, the indigenous Mexican Left wMch means the Party of the Revolution that has ruled Mexico ever since the Nineteen Twentiesstaged a tremendously vital celebration 00 the occasion of the 160th birthday of the national hero, Benito Juarez, who tossed the French out of Mexico a hundred years ago and, as an eight-term President, put through the historic separation of church and State. This columnist happened to land in Mexico City on March 21, the day of the Juarez ceremonies. Not an office was open, which was a handicap in trying to line up interviews. .But the crowds in the streets were far more eloquent than anything that might have been arranged between a newspaperman and a public figure. The labor unions turned out a hundred thousand workers to listen to the bands marching from the Monument of t h e Revolution to a Juarez monument in Alameda Park. The implicit condemnation of Viet Cong Week, then staggering to its tenth-day close, was obvious.

; Aging Stewardesses Are Uphelc.

By ELMER ROESSNER

The New York State Commission for Human Rights has ruled that airlines cannot fire stewardesses simply because tiiey have reached certain ages, usually from 32 to 36 years.

In recent decades, airlines have set age limits on stewardesses, largely to keep their staffs young and interesting to the age group that can afford' to fly. Stewardesses who have applied for jobs have usually understood this limitation, but those who have not been able to find a husband by retirement age have complained to their uniop, JimiHoffas Transport Workers, that the rule was unfair.

The New York state finding are not binding on other states. But the basis of the decis-

reason. The fair employment practice rules of tiie Civil Rights Act, which became effective last July 2, prohibits discrimination .in employ-ment on the basis of race, color, national origin or sex.

Therefore the reasoning of the N. Y. commission may apply to every state. In fact, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., who is chairman of the Equal E m p loyment Opportunities Commission, has warned states that they mu^t not permit discrimination in hiring because of sex.

The consequence of this boggles the mind. It means that neither sex nor age, as well as race, religion and national origin, may' bar a man or woman fi^om any job.

DO FISH-FLOUR^IBHES GO TO BATHROOM FIRST?

When I was in high school, a teacher took my class to > visit the U. S. Customs building in San Francisco. Customs men shunted the girls aside and showed the boys a packing case of dried mule organs imported from China, which had been seized for ml^abeling. They had been Imported as tiger, parts, greatly desired in Chinatown as medicinis.

' Then tliey slioWcd us large

tins of seized,- imported fish, and asked if we could see why they had been impounded. None of us could, and the customs men explained that these fish had ruptured bellies. The proper way to handle fish^ they said, was'to drag them be hind boats until they had evacuated. Then the* food in their entrails would not ferment and blow their bellies out.

I innocently asked what was wrong with the seized fish. After all, I pointed out, they were sterilized and nutritious, and what was wrong with fermented plankton?

The customs' men did not deign to answer, the other'student^ gave DM dirty looks, aiid I narrowly escaped flunking tlie course.

Now the food and Drug Administration is lifting the ban on the sale of fish flour for human consumption. It is a high-proteip concentrate made from whole fish, (ffied and ground into a iasteless, colorless flour. It includes heads, tails and entrails, but is said to be bacterioiogically pure.

I wonder how long those fish ane dragged behind a boat?
