A MAN WITH 82 YEARS
AND ONLY ONE REGRET
' STATEN ISLAND, N. Y.—(AP)
__kighty - two - year -old Capt.
Charles Chase sits and watches
with watery blue eyes the sea
that first called him at the age
of 12. 1»»,4 :
But the sea calls him no more.
He gave it his life and his daugh
ter and he's through with it now
forever, «
Capt. Chase, a man who knew
the science of putting canvas
seainst the wind, was crowded
cut by men who had learned the
science of engines and turning
propellers. i
“1 never had any use for
steam — and.l still don't,’ he

“Gailors’ Snug Harber” here, a
nhome for old salts.
He ran away himself from his
Maine homg at 12 to work under
cail. He was in the Pacific island
trade. ¢
“] loved sail and I guess I
stayed with it too long,” he said.
«when I turned from sait to
steam it ' was too iate I never did

" Cap’ Chase spends his time nowl
carving models of the graceful
ship with crowding sails in which
he spent his life.
“I remember there used to be
three to five ships leave San
Francisco every day,” he said.
“They were small ships — only
about 160 feet long. We used to
have two to three hundred pigs
énd maybe a dozen mules on
deck. About the third day the
deck would be covered with flies,
and fthe passenger’s begin 'to
complain.
Th@ onlyiway we could gt ri
of the flies was to stand agzainst
the wind. Thatd blow most of
'em off.”
A sailor’s life then was a cruel
and prolonged duel with weather
and hardship.
“Q’couse it was rough,” mused
the old captain. “Rough beyond
anybody’s knowing today. You
wouldn’t believe the truth of it.
But being young and liking it—
as a lot of us did — well, 1 can’t
sit here and tell you it was too
bad.
“T’d like to see sail come back.
But I know it never will.”
Cap’n Chase made money sea
faring and lost it later through
bad investments. He said he had
only one regret in his life.
“We were coming home from
China once,” he said. “I had my
wife and baby daughter, Maude.
The baby was only 2 1-4 years
old. In those tizaes whole families
was born and raised aboard ship.
“We’'d run through a storm. O’
those cold nor-west winds a
blowin’ down! When it calmed,
my little girl came toddling out
on deck. I picked her up and
hugged her to me, forgettin’ my
wet oilskins
“A couple hours later my wife
came up and said the baby had
cuaght cold. I went below. My
baby was terribly sick. She died
that night with pneumonia.”
The next day he gave his dau
ghter to the sea.
“All the years since then I've
been wondering whether it was
my fault she caught cold,” said
the Captain.
He looked around his small
room.
“T've been here eight years,”
he said. “It’s a nice place. We're
all better off here. Young people
don’t like to have old people
around.”
“But old people don’t like to
have young around either, do
thev?” He was aked,
“Only the small children,” said
Cap'’n Chase. “O'n I tell you, I
do miss the children.”
In a modern, heated building
as many as four generations of
moths can be produced in a

Union Baptist To Celebrate
Centennial Sunday, Julyll
BY MRS. LEON F. ELLIS
A century o 1 regular churchl
services with no interruptions is
the record of the Union Baptist
Church, Sarepta Association,
whose history is so interesting in |
detail that these facts are pre- |
sented as items of public interest. I
It was in 1847 that three men
returning from a deer hunt stop
ped to drink cool water from a‘
spring . One of them, Wiiliam'
Meroney, on whose land they
were resting, suggested that the!
spot was an ideal one for a
church.
His companions, one a Metho-~
dist, the other a Presbyterian,
asked, “What denomination shall
the church be?” |
Meroney, who was a Baptist
but very generous in his thoughts
quickly replied, “I shall give 10 |
acres of land here on which
churches mayv be built, a Pres
byterian, a Methodist, ‘and a Bap
tist.”
And so the idea of a church for
the eommunity grew in the hearts
of Meroney, his companions and
friends. Very soon plans were un
derway to build a “meeting'
house” and interested people
gathered to erect a house in
which to worship.
Two roads crossed on the ten
acres given for church purposes. :
They were important connecting
links between’ the trading centers
of that day. One connected Car
nesville and Athens, and the one
going east and west passed the
flourishing wool and iron mills
at Rogers® Mill and connected
Danielsville and Jefferson. So
thorough were these pioneers in
their planning that they located
the meeting house near the in
tersection of these roads.
It was not long unt:il the house
was completed and the new year’s
crop was underway that a church
was constituted. On July 12,
1848, pastors and deacons from

other churches met to constitute
Union Baptist Church. Twenty
nine members were listed on the
church roll which included such
family names as Williams, Strick
land, Polk, White, Deadwyler,
O’'Kelley, Bone and others.
From this beginning with 29
charter members the church has
had a glorious history.. This his
tery will be reproduced from
actual records on July 11, 1948,
when the church celebrates its
centennial.
There will be descendants of
those original church members
present at this celebration. They
will recall how the Missionary
Baptist and the anti-Missionary
Baptist erected a new church
building just across the road
from the original building that
still stands and is occupied by
the Primitive Bap.ist Church.
At the noon hour on the day
of celebration, the members and
friends of the church will assem
ble under the frees and show the
traditional hospitality so well
known in our grandfathers’ day.
There will be food of every kind,
most of the ingredients raised on
the farms of the members.
The program for the day will
feature the presentation of gifts
in recognition of members who
have had the longest continuous
membership in the church. Recog
nition of all former pastors pres
ent for the day will also add in
terest to the program. The old
organ that has been stored away
{for so many years will be brought
out and the congregation will
unite in singing the old songs.
Thouith there have been many
changes in the community since
William Meroney conceived the
idea for the Union Church, those
of the community still love the
Church and are eager to bear tes
timony to the goodness of God in
celebrating the 100th anniversary
of its Constitution,
Scouts Salute Hugh Henry
For Outstanding Service
BY GEORGE ABNEY, JR.
Dr. Hugh Henry, Scoutmaster
of Boy Scout Troop No. 1, spon
sored by the First Methodist
Church, is being saluted today
for the leadership he has given
in Scouting.
He has been Scoutmaster of
his troop fer over three years
and with the assistance of Olan
Parr and Wallace Binns has built
the troop in membership and
achievement. Besides being a
leader now, he was a top rank
Scout in his school days.
Joining Scouting on April 28,
1928, as a member of Troop 23
in Emory, Virginia, he received
his Eagle rank in the shortest
possible time (certain lengths of
service are required before get
ting each rank). He received his
Eagle on August 11, 1929, at the
age of 13, and after receiving
this high rank he went on to get
palms added to it. Palms desig
nate additional work over the
requirements for Eagle.
Scoutmaster Henry now has 55
merit badges and nas attended
many summer camps, serving as
a camp leader a number of
times. He went to camp as a
Scout for three summers, win
ning high camper's awards two
Peggy Cummins, Charles Coburn,
Robert Arthur Starred In Hit
Filmed In Color By Technicolor
Mary O'Hara’s widely read
and loved adventures in the new
West come to a blazing screen
climax when “Green Grass of
Wyoming,” the new Twentieth
Century-Fox hit starring Peggy
Cummins, Charles Coburn and
Robert Arthur, opens Wednes
day at the Palace Theatre. Pho
tographed in color by Techni
color in the spectacularly scenic
mountains of Utah, and at the
famed racing oval of Lancaster,
Ohio, the picture combines all
the color, romance, realism and
action thrills of “My Friend
Flicka,” “Thunderhead, Son of
Flicka” and “Smoky.”
In “Green Grass of Wyoming”’
the wild, fierce stallion, Thun
derhead, fulfills his heritage in
a suspenseful and excitement
packed drama that carries along
in its wake the fortunes — ro
mantic and otherwise— of the
people who love and fear him.
With Thunderhead now a hunt
ed raider of the range the film’s
story sweeps through the savage
dangers of the rolling ranch
country with its wild fighting
horses and marauding wolf
packs, through a series of thrill
ing and heart-stirring adven
tures, to the high excitement of
the climactic State Fair Harness
Race. Through it all runs the
tide of human drama and ro
mance in the story of a boy and
girl, and of a man whose heart
beat is keyed to the hoofbeat of
the racing horses he loves, .
Outstanding Cast
“Green Grass of Wyoming”’
provides petite Peggy Cummins
with a role in sharp contrast to
those she played in “The Late
George Apley” and “Moss Rose.”
As the hard-riding daughter of
a rancher who knows her way
around the cattle range as well
as the trotting races, Peggy dis
plays a versatility in acting,
that justifies the studio’s and
public’s enthusiasm for her.
Charles Coburn has one of
his best roles since he won the
Academy Award in “The More
the Merrier.” “Green Grass of
Wyoming” provides plenty of
action for the veteran character
actor in the role of a trotting
horse enthusiast who himself
takes over the reins in the sul
ky contests.
Young and handsome Robert
Arthur, who first atq‘arcted at
attention as Mona eeman’s
sweetheart in “Mother Wore
Tights,” gets his first big screen
break, sharing starring honors
with Miss Cummins and Coburn.
Preview notices of his parform
ance as Peggy’s impulsive suitor
acclaim him as a truly infportant
“find.” Lloyd Nolan and Geral
dine Wall have important roles
as Bob’s father and mother,
while Burl Ives, America’s fav
orite troubadour, is the singinz
