THE NEXT FOUR months may
prove to be one of the most event
ful periods in the Seventy-fifth Con
gress. The legislation passed and
the issues raised will certainly have
a sweeping effect on the whole fun
ctions of the Federal Government.
Few can predict anywhere near ac
curately what the effect will be.
WILL THE PRESIDENT'S Sup
ieme Court plan pass through op
position which to say the least, is
formidable? Will reorganization of
tihe executive branch of the Govern
ment, as recommended by the Pres
ident, withstand objections raised,
or will it survive? Will the new farm
proposals solve agricultural ills in the
way proponents claim? Will, the
President's for relief funds prevail
or will the bloc seeking larger a
mounts win out?

C. L .Beam
On Thursday, February 18th, at
the home of Mrs. Brjtho Noe, The
Home Department of The Woman's
Club was fortunate in having Mr. C.
L. Beam give a papr on Financial
Aspects of the Home. The paper
was followed by an informal discus
Mn of the subject and questions
, irom .ose present.
.'"introducing his subject, Mr.
Beam asked, "What is money? The
miser knows it as a precious keep
sake, the merchant hs a commodity
of exchange, the spendthrift as a
commodity that satisfies a good time,
the banker as investment stock. In
reality, it is a medium of exchange."
"In order to conserve money, peo
ple have learned to budget." From
a brief discussion of budgeting on a
large scale by the various govern

Rhodes Gets Bloomers
From Rose's Store And
Sixty Days From Judge
Sam Rhodes, local Negro, got a
pair of bloomers off the counter of
Rose's store here a few days ago
and was caught in the act. Charged
with petty larceny he was tried in
Recorder's Court Tuesday where he
was given a 60 day sentence to be
served at the county home under the
supervision of Capt. George Lewis
the superintendent. If he fails to
serve the sentence there he must do
a similar number of days on the
roads. A gang of shop lifters have
given the Rose store much trouble
here since it opened, and with the
conviction of Rhodes it is believed
the remainder of the gang will take
warning.

Robert F. Kite
On January 28, VjoS, Robert F.
Kita came to Morehead City and
took charge of the Rose store. A';
that time he was the youngest man
ager of any of the stores in the Rose
chain, being only 21 vears of ago.
Announcement was made today that
he would be tiansferred to the man
agement of the Martinville, Va.,
store of the Rose chain, and this
transfer comes in th, form of a pro
motion because he is succeeding J.
R. Tolbert who has been promoted to
assistant buyer at the home office of
the Rose organization in Henderson.,
N. C. Before coming to Morehead
City to make a success as manager
of the Rose rtore there, Mr. Kite
worked in stock rooms of stores lo
cated at Lumberton, Ashboro and
Siler City. He will leave Morehead
City early next week. The name of
his successor there has not been an
nounced. At the Morehead store he
did a mighty good job as manager,
and his transfer and promotion an
nounced today proves it. He is a
native of Harrisonburg, Va.
Shrimping Starts In
Nearby Coast Waters
Shrimping in wats. s of this section
started much earlier this year than

crew caught ?40 in one day last
week. The price being paid for
shrimp is eight cents per pound or
12 cents if the shrimp are headed.

Wesley Paul Made
Money From Minks
Wesley Paul f Davis caught
50 minks from December 1,
until the season neded last
week. The pelts sold to fur
buyers averaged $10 each or a
total of $500 for the season of
10 weeks. That was an average
of $50 per week Mr. Paul real
ized from this sideline occupa
tion. Most of the minks caught by
Mr. Paul were taken with his
pack of mink hounds. Some of
them were shot, others corner
ed in shallow water and drown
ed. The fur of these animals is
very valuable. A mink skin
coat sometimes sells for as high
as $15,000. No other trapper
or hunter in Carteret has made
the profit that Mr. Paul did
during the season just closed.
Famed Pugilist Will
Promote Prize Fights
At Community Center
Addison (Kayo) Warien, Duke Uni
versity boxing mentor, who present
ed a series of prize fights in Atlantic
Beach Casino last summer will soon
come to Beaufort and manage box
ing shows to be presented at the Com
munity Center on Lenoxville, it was
slated here this week.
At the present time Warren is al
ready enroute or preparing to leave
for California with his Duke Univer
sity team. After taking his team
through a series of contests on the
west coast he will return to Duke and
from there plans will he made for the
shows he will present at the Com
munity Center auditorium on Lenox
ville Road.
One of the boxers Warren will pre.
sent to fans here i3 his Olympic
Teamster Matulevitz, brother of the
Matulevitz who spent several weeks
on Atlantic Beach last summer and
assisted the Duke Mentor with his
shows and occasionally took part in
the bouts.
In the meantime the Community
Center auditorium is completed and
probably a portable but substantial
rins has been built. Benches too
have been made and it is expected
that a total of 000 or more people
can crowd into the auditorium build
ing to witness the fights which pro
moter Warren will present. The
first of a series of fights to be pre
sented at the Community Center will
be sometime in March or early April
it is understood.
Liquor Business Is
Still ABC Business
The liquor business in Car
teret county is still the bus
iness of the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board and not the bus
iness of the board of county
commissioners as some of the
latter would have perhaps lik
ed for it to have been. The
county commissioners were all
set for taking over the opera
tion of the liquor busines.1
when the new board set-up
started functioning this year,
but as a result of legislation
passed in Raleigh recently it
appears that ABC board will
continue running the liquor
stores and not the Carteret
Board of County Commission
ers and Chairtrau W. P. Smith.

to week there h s been a steady in
crease. Approximately $1,125 was
raised by?the i 'o chapters. The

Will Be Keepers House
Of Gulf Stream
Golf Club
NEW UNIT OF COMMUNITY
CENTER TO COST $5,000
Work started today on the keepers
house at the Gulf Stream Golf Club
down at Community Center, and th;
unit when completed will represent
an expenditure of $5,000 in WPA
funds. This unit of the Community
Center will be finished within 60
days according to Phillip Ball, WPA
supervisors for Carteret county
and it will give Beaufort the pres
tige of having a country club near
by. The club, which will probably
be called "Gulf Stream Golf Club"
will be for the use of Beaufort,
Morehead City and Carteret county
at large, and it will answer one of
the most pressing needs of this coast
al resort area.
Officially, the club has not been
named Gulf Stream Golf Club. That
name was suggested by Phillip Ball
this morning when interviewed by a
Beaufort News reporter, and until
someone can think of a better name,
we will refer to the project as "Gulf
Stream Golf Club," a unit of Beau
fort Community Center.
Within 60 days the golf course
too, will be almost completed. By
that time it will be possible to play
five or six of the -line holes. By
June 1, Mr. Ball thinks the nine
holes will be ready for use by local
or visiting golfers.

a man from Plainsfield, N. J., whj
came to Morehead City to spend what

Slocum was reported missing, Chaun
