THURSDAY, .UNE 10, 1937 Beach Management Makes Fine Gesture The Management of Atlantic Beach made a hne gesture this week when they announced season tickets to the beach and eurf and to The Casino at very low prices for the homefolks here in Carteret county. The prices are so low for season tickets, surely no one can com plain and the citizens of Car teret should show their apprec iati by co-operating with the beach operators. In the past there has been some criticism at times about the rates charg ed for entrance through the gates. This criticisim usually came from Carteret county cit izens who felt that since they were home folks, they should be shown some consideration. Bob Connell probably had that thought in view when he an nounced today that season bath tickets for adults would cost only $5 and for children, only $2.50. He probably had that thought in view when he offers a seasons ticket to The Casino dances for the nominal sum of $7.50. These season tickets are good for bathing in the surf every day during the season, for morning or after noon. The Casino tickets are priced so low that dancers at tending every week-day night can check up on Labor Day and find that their nightly dances cost only a few cents. Atlantic Beach gives much for the money expended by pat rons there. No other resort can boast of a surf so safe, of such efficient life guard service, of free board walk concerts every afternoon by a splendid orches tra such as Jimmie Livingston and his musicians. And start ing on Monday, each night in The Casino will be a special night starting with Amateur hour on Monday, Girl Break on Tuesday, Regular dance on Friday and soon an added at traction each week. very uncomplimentary terms about 'government relief work which gives employment to persons at higher prices than the farmer can afford to pay. This farmer said that held hands are being paid 10 cents per barrel for picking Irish pa tatoes and ten and fifteen cents per basket for picking beans. But the bigges ttrouble is that he cannot get laborers enough to do the work. It is one of those situations which should be intelligently looked into by those in authority. It is true that the farmer cannot offer continual employment to field laborers, and for many months those on 'relief have been giv en more or less steady employ ment during certain work per iods. It seems that some sort of system should be adopted whereby the 'relief worker' would have to take work in the fields at certain seasons when such employment was avail able. It is something which a newspaper editor cannot work out, but he cheerfully and will ingly expresses the views of this farmer which is a view shared by many farmers of pro duce growing Carteret at this time. WILLIAM J. HENDERSON iNEW PORT Funeral services for William J. Henderson, 41, were con ducted at the Henderson home here Sunday, June 6, at 4 o'clock -with the Rev. Mr. Dixon, pastor of the Methodist church officiating. Inter ment was made in Cedar Grove cem etery. He died at his home on N. Mann street here Saturday following an illness of several months. He was a native of Pender county the son of the late G. H. and Julia Rouse Hen derson. He was a World War vete ran and a member of Elm Camp 336, W. O. W. Prior to his entry into the Army he was section foreman here for the Norfolk-Southern. Following his honorable discharge from the service he was unable to work and his condition from War effects grad ually grew worse, eventually caus ing his death. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Letha Garner Henderson and the following brothers and sisters: 0. H. Henderson, Mrs. Dora Orms by, Mis. Julia F. Cox of Wilmington; Mrs. Ennon D. Mann, G. Dozier Hen derson and Claude V. Henderson of Newport. Beaufort Needs More Guest Homes Opening of The Anchorage! for the reception of guests at the former C. P. Dey home on Front street this week was a wortwhile move on the part of Mrs. Henry B. Jones. Although this splendidly located home cannot take care of the large number of guests a regular or even a small hotel could take care of, it will serve a worth while purpose. It will be poss ible to accomodate up to 20 persons there, and that will be a great help in solving Beau fort's summertime housing problems. This week the Cham ber of Commerce has received several letters from persons who wanted to come to Car teret coast and spend a vaca tion in Beaufort. The type of accomodations sought, in most cases furnished cottages are just not available. So Beau fort lost out. In at least two of the inquiries received the farties sought cottages on At antic Beach or Morehead City. The Chamber of Commerce secretary contacted rental agents at these places, but no places were available. If the popularity of Carteret's coast continues to increase, it will be absolutely essential that some one construct cottages for rent to take care of these vacation ists.An excellent idea for home owners in Beaufort would be to follow the example set by Mrs. Jones and operate as guests houses it would in- cidently prove a profitable bus iness. At Myrtle Beach many such places have been estab lished and proven profitable and successful for the opera tors. Something must be done to remedy the housing situation in Beaufort, Atlantic Beach, Morehead City and all Car teret, if this coastal county is to continue growing as a resort. The Anchorage Is Opened To Guests The Anchorage, the old C. P. Dey home at 605 Front Street, was open ed this week for the reception of guests. Mrs. Henry B. Jones, is pro prietor of the new establishment, which will aid materially in solving the summer vacation housing prob lems here. Mrs. Jones says that in addition to several guest rooms she will operate at an early date, a din ing room in connection with rooming facilities. The Labor Situation A produce farmer dropped by The Beaufort News office this week and requested that we write something about the labor situation as it pertains to farmers now harvesting their Various crjps. He spoke in An auction market for the selling of vegetables by growers in New Hanover and surrounding counties was started 6n May 31. Our Mail Box RAILROAD (Continued from pa;."' o:f ) sand was thrown up all over the landscape. It was not long after I left Beau fort to seek a livelihood that I land ed a job with the Pennsylvania Rail road. To be a little specific, I have been in the railroad business 37 years and the nature of my work has nec essitated almost continuous travel all over the United States and has en abled me to appraise the value of a railroad to a community. This, to gether with the fact that Beaufort suffered for 50 years or more with out the advantages of a railroad, giving Morehead City an equal advan tage, makes me feel certain that if the railroad ceases to operate from Beaufort, no one can estimate the possible evil effect it will have upon the community from a business standpoint. It is conceivable to me that in the course of time any number of small or even sizable business enterprises might choose to locate in Beaufort if the railroad is continued which otherwise would not consider this location because of the impossibility of getting car load raw material and shiping manufactured material in car load lots. In the last 5 or 10 years I have personally seen non-paying railroads or parts of railroads put into the black by the adoption of strict bus iness methods. Thus, I recommend that consideration be given to an ex amination of the situation' to see whether or not there could not be a consolidation of Beaufort and More head station management, both pas senger and freight, and effecting any other economies that might be pos sible. On our own railroad here in Piil- a delphia many stations which are further apart are i:nicr the dhvc tion of one head, with suitable mes senger service between points to ex pedite the handling of business. It is recognized that there is a limit below which the management canot go in effecting economies without imparing operation, but the managements that are making head way today are loathe to recognize these limits until exhaustive analy sis and investigations are made. There are some labor agreements that may be involved which entail unnecessary expense that both par ties may find a middle of the road arrangement for settling which would tend to curtail cost The way the thing stacks up to me is that the "cow is in the mire" and if you don't get her out instan ter the old critter will pass cut. With all of the easy money that is floating around the United States of America and with all that has been and is being expended by the State of North Carolina for purposes less laudable than the continuation of the railroai to Ikaufort, it is noth ing thort of betrayal of the people of" Beaufort and eastern Carteret County to abf'jh their railroad fa citlitie's while cse other things are receiving favorable attention. Bouhier Dam, T.Y.As IWima quady and the Florida Canal don't mean a thing to North Carolian. But the railroad running to Beaufort does and to abolish it to avoad the expenditure by the State of a few thousand dollars just doesn't make ccnP esneciallv when it is evident that in time it can be made to bej self-sustaining. I hope that the business men of ; Beaufort will renew their fight with j increased vigor and that Beaufort j and vicinity will continue to enjoy the advantages of railroad facilities.
