By AYCOCK BROWN
A MANUFACTURER in Pennsyl
vania would like to establish a shirt
factory in Beaufort. He does not ex
pect the citizens to put up any cash
for the erection of a building, he
does not expect or ask the town or
the county to give him free taxes,
free water or free power. All that
he wishes is a location where he
would be assured of free rent for a
few months during which time he
would make plans to build a factory
of his own here. Goldsboro has gone
after the plant, but the manufactur
er prefers to locate in this coastal
town if possible. Among other things
he promises is employment to a min
imum of 150 operators at the very
begining with the assurance that he
will pay a high scale of wages. If
there is a building hereabouts which

HE ALMOST SAW
HISTORIC FORT
Mr. Haasis of Alabama, who is
spending his vacation here with his
family, is disappointed in Fort Mac
on Park conditions. He attempted to
drive to Fort Macon over the road
now being improver by the State
Highway crews and found that he
was violating Section 12 of the North
Carolina laws and was advised by
workmen to try the route along the
surf on the ocean beach. He then at
tempted to get on the beach, but was
informed by a gate keeper that only
government employees and Salter
Path residents had the privilege.
Then Mr. Haasis and party returned
to Beaufort and chartered a launch
to take him to the fort on Wednes
day morning. Upon their arrive!
they could find no caretaker to un
lock the gates, after waiting until
nearly noon. "Things like that put a
bad taste in the mouths of out of
state tourists like myself, who have
driven hundreds of miles to see your
Fort Macon State Park," said Mr.
Haasis, and he is returning to Ala
bama today, perhaps still wondering
what the ancient fortress which he
almost saw after several attempts
looks like.

Atlantic Beach has had some fine
managers since it was established
back in 1928, but this fast growing
ocean resort has never had a manager
who is more genial and friendly than
Rob't. E. Connell who is directing the
operation this season. Bob Connell,
and he likes to be called "Bob," is
a native of Tennessee, but during
the past several years he has lived
in Palm Beach where he managed
hotels. If Bob Connell knew these
cutlines were being written he would
say, "Tell them about the many ad
ded attractions we have booked for
the Fourth of July holiday, and quit
raving about me." Bob Connell is a

While the spotlight of public at

outstanding national issues that dir
ectly relate to, but do not solve the
problems of rural America, there is
no dearth of official interest in the
farm problem. However, it is gener
ally realized that stabilized indus
trial conditions must precede sound
programs for agriculture. In other
words, stabilization of the purchasing
power of our people.
In this connection, there is much
evidence that the farmers of North

their own status. They ask that the

Actual Construction of
Front Extension to
Begin July 8
Front Street Extension, extending
from the Hugh Hill residence to Com
munity Center, a distance of approx
imately one and a half miles will be
paved, it was definitely announced
this week by T. E. Kelly, Carteret
WPA official. A WPA project, the
plans call for a 60-foot rightaway of
which 18 feet will be paved with a
shell base, surface treated asphalt,
and the total cost is estimated at ap
proximately $15,000.
Actual construction will begin
with the WPA payroll period begin
ning July 8, and at the beginning it
is expected that approximately 70
persons will be given employment. A
period of six months is allowed for
its completion but Mr. Kelly believes
thta the job can be finished within
four months. It will when com
pleted give Beaufort a watefront
drive almost three miles in length,

Lucky Frank Feinburg of Farm-
ville, Va., who won $150,000 in The
Irish Sweepstakes a few months ago
was a visitor on Atlantic Beach and
a guest at Atlantic Beach Hotel this
week. He liked the famous resort
mighty well and judging from a con
versation a News man had with him
this resort is the tops as compared
to other resorts in North Carolina.
What Mr. Feinberg likes best though
is a horse named "Midday Sun"
which won the 150 grand for him.
The winnings have not yet been ac
tually paid over, but that is only a
matter of form. Even since he arriv
ed on Atlantic Beach he has been ad
vised by his folks in Farmville that
the draft has arrived there and it
would be necessary for him to re
turn sometime within the next 30
days and identify himself by Notary
affadavits. Then with the forms all
filled out they will be returned to
Ireland and a short time later his
money will be coming in. Mr. Fein
berg figures the U. S. Government
will take a $65,000 cut in taxes, but
he makes no secret of the fact that
he had much rather Uncle Sam get
that slice in preference of himself
changing his residence to Ireland.

ALL OUTDOORS
I By AYCOCK BROWN
THE CURRENT at the inner edge
of the Gulf Stream last Sunday was
unusually strong, according to Capt.
Jess Pagels who carried Red Tucker
and a group of friends out there af
ter dolphin and amberjack. He es
estimated the current was running
three miles an hour, which does not
sound so very fast on land where the
pedestrian averages that while walk
ing, but when it is blue water of the
ocean 20 miles or more off shore it is
some speed. It was impossible or im
practical at any rate, to try and tie
up to the buoy for still fishing.
Nevertheless, Capt. Jess and his par
ty returned to Beaufort with four
dolphin, one amberjack, one small
snapper, one trigger fish, two bonito
and two sea-bass.

PASSED EXAMS

pointment to the Academy by Cong
ressman Graham A. Barden.
Several days ago Onslow County
offered Hugh Overstreet, farm agent,
an increase of $250 per year more
than he was making in Carteret if
he would accept
the job they had
for him. Over-
street tentatively
accepted the new
job. In the mean
time an editorial
appeared in The
Beaufort News
outlining in detail
how he had devel
oped farming here
i n this coastal
county, and the
possible results
if he should ac
cept his new of
fer in Onslow.
That started prominent farmers to
thinking and one day this week they
or their representatives swarmed in
on Carteret Commissioners and de
manded that Oversteet's salary be in
creased so that he would remain in
the county. This the Commissioners
finally agreed to do after one or
two members put up the plea of hard
times and hard to get money, to pay
county employees.
Recreation, band music, and oth
er entertaniment will be offered to
help make the week "a real vacation
as well as an educational event."
