Thursday, June 5th, 1941. Merchants Will Likely Observe Half Holidays More than likely the mer chants of Beaufort will take into consideration that they are on the eve of one of the biggest booms that has ever struck the coast and begin observing half holidays on Wednesday afternoons dur ing the summer months. One must not be surprised, after the various defense projects get underway on the coast, to see so much business that it will be impossible to take a half dav off. Therefore, Beaufort like many Eastern Carolina towns and cities will take this brief mid-week rest period while they can and enjoy it. Citizens at large are generally in favor of the Wednesday half holi days and so are most of the merchants. One of the Eastern cities observing a half holiday is New Bern and its newspaper the Sun-Journal, on Tuesday afternoon this week referr ing to Wednesday Half-Holidays published the follow ing: "New Bern begins an annual ob servance of Wednesday afternoon half-holidays on Wednesday of this week. The period of observance continues through June, July and August. The half-holidays end when the opening of school ends the summer vacation period for most folk, and when fall business must be cared for by the stores. "Meantime stores and business houses again this year will take advantage of the summer period when some rest and recreation is badly needed to give the weekly half-holidays to as many local em ployes as possible. New Bern was one of the first of the eastern Carolina communities to adopt the plan, and there are few now, large or small, which do not follow it. "It has been found that there is practically no inconvenience to the shcpping public which is familiar with the plan. Housewives and others have given it their full ap proval. They plan ahead or do their buying before noon each Wednesday. It is a bit of -oopera- ln?V 4ipt (J Mi The glamour and romance sug gested by the soft Brazilian moon, the throbbing rhythm of the Sam ba, and the tantalizing movements of exotic dancers provide the back ground for "That Night in Rio", which stars Alice Faye, Don Ame- che and Carmen Miranda, and opens Sunday for a three-day run at the Beaufort Theatre. Neatly interspersed with the catchy tunes "That Night in Rio" is the intriguing story of a double dealing double, Don Ameche, who portrays first an American night club performer in love with his singing and dancing partner, the glamorous Carmen Miranda. But he is also a Brazilian boulevardier, Baron Duarte, married to the al luring Alice Faye. It is comedy at its best, and according to pre view critics, it is tops as entertainment. Obituaries Jas. W. Robinson Died Here Friday Capt. Jim Robinson, 71, died at his home here last Friday evening following an extended illness. Fun eraP rites were conducted Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Baaptist church at the Baptist church at Atlantic with Rev. S. J. Erwin pastor of Beauforta nd Rev Israel of the Atlantic church in charge of the service. The Beau fort Baptist choir and the choir at Atlantic renrered the music at the service. Capt. Robinson was a native of Atlantic but moved to Beaufort a round 20 years ago, and since that time has engage din the fishing in dustry in this section and had be come a popular figure in the towr. life. tion so small that no one person need make much sacrifice, but so large in its results to those who must spend long summer hours be hind counters or in firing indus tries, that any minor sacrifice is made willingly. "Apparently a busy year is ahead for this section. Work will get under way during the next few months which will mean a test next fall and winter upon speed and efficiency and willingness to serve of all those in industry. Re serves of strength and stamina which may be built up this sum mer will likely be called upon then." Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Lou Mason and five children, Mrs. R. A. Morris, Atlantic, Mrs. John Willis, Baltimore, Md., Mrs. Guy Dixon and Mrs. Luke Rice of Beau fort and Charles Robinson also of Beaufort.

Following this part of the program, there was 30 seconds of silence m memory of departed comrades of the Legion. vis, gion Talented Miss Virginia Stanton read a poem and a quartet includ ing Grayden M.

Com mander Ball introduced special guests which included incoming commander Blakely Pond of Da- Fusen, district Le Commamler, Capt. Meekins and his Coast Guardsmen anu me local Boy Scouts. Senior Patrol Leader Bobby Stevens expressed ! appreciation on behalf of the I Scouts for the recognition paid his boys anil told those gathered that his' Scouts were ready to serve, j High spot of the afternoon how ever, was the brilliant address by Robert Lee Humber of Greenville and Davis Island. It was at the latter place he launched the Fed eration of the World, a movement which has not only been endorsed by civic groups throughout this and eastern states but also by the North Carolina General Assembly at a session on March 13. Mr. Humber's talk touched on the pres ent day crisis as well as every im portant crisis in the history of the world. With a benediction by Rev. E. C. McConnell, rector of St. Paul's Church, and more music by the band, the exercises were brought to a close. "Her First Beau" Is New Jane Withers At Sea Breeze Sun. Jane Withers, exotic young star who was a success from her first picture, is featured in "Her First Beau", which comes to the Sea Breeze Theatre for three days, starting Sunday. Synopsis of the film follows: Penelope Wood (Jane Withers), fifteen, has two interests. One is that she hopes to become a famous writer and the other is Chuck Har ris (Jackie Cooper). Chuck also has two interests. One is to per fect a home made glider and the other is to go to Tech College. His indifference to Penny is her chief source of annoyance. But Penny for the moment forgets about Chuck when her uncle, Mervyn Roberts (William Tracy), who is her senior by five years, arrives home with a friend, Roger Van Vleck (Kenneth Howell). Roger "has a way with women" and Pen ny falls for his line. Chuck is resentful but covers it up by working on his glider plane. He chooses the night of the big dance to try out his plane. Whili he is making his preparations with the help of Elmer (Edgar Buchan an), the hired man, Teenny is suf fering torture at the dance. The "glamour girl" dress which she had thought the last thing in style looks ridiculous and there is much laugh ter at her expense, with Roger the chief offender. So when Chuck is injured flying his glider Penny rushes to his side, forgetting ail about her infatuation for Roger. Borden Mace Among Carolina Graduates Borden Mace, son of Mrs. W. A. Mace and the late W. A. Mace 13 among the graduates of the Uni versity of North Carolina this year. He has made a splendid lecord in college and graduates with a B. S. degree.
