' nnrct ictin iniu Member Nat'I Editorial Asso. Thursday, August 14, 1941 Beaufort And Manteo Must Cooperate The towns of Beaufort in Carteret and Manteo in Dare County should cooperate in every way possible towards the development of aviation facilities between the two communities via the Outer Banks. Not only should the two towns cooperate m the development of travel by air but also every other form ol transportation such as boat lines and bus lines. Beaufort and Manteo have the distinction of being the gateways to the Outer Banks. Each community re ceives a tremendous amount of business from the smaller communities of the Outer Banks such as Ocracoke, Portsmouth, Hatteras, Bux ton, Frisco, Avon and the Rodanthes. Eventually Beau fort will be the southern terminus of the Ocracoke Transportati o n company s Air Line just as Manteo will be the northern term inus. The entire Outer Banks will eventually become a Na tional Seashore Park. Al ready the important ground work tor tnis giganuc piyj pet. which in time will be come just as famous or even more so than Yellowstone. When the National Seashore Beaufort will be the nearest incorpora ted town to the southward. Beaufort will be the stopping off place for the additional thousands who will visit the Outer Banks. To the north ward Manteo will serve a similar purpose. Now is the time for Beaufort and Man teo to begin cooperating to gether as two municipalities eventually to become gate ways to the great National Seashore Park at Cape Hat teras. Aviation Commission Begins To Function Members of Carteret's new Aviation Commission have alreadv started functioning for the development of the local landing field and new fields elsewhere in Carteret. The local "airport" has been put into very good shape re cently so good that it re ceives the praise of every visiting airman or air travel er. This week, Dave Dris kill, chief pilot for the Ocra coke Transportation Com pany's Air Line was in Car teret and through the assist ance of local members of the Commission visited Atlantic and picked a site for a field to be located in that com munity. Within the next few davs an auxiliary field will probably be established at that point. It will mean that next year or the year after Beaufort, and Atlantic with only the auxiliary facilities will be stopping points for the potential air mail routes to be established along the Outer Banks. At the same time these landing fields will attract air travelers from many places. In the meantime the Avi ation Commission is making plans to secure government aid towards the improve ment of the facilities already estabblished or planned to be established in Carteret. Countv Commissioners have not taken the matter very se riously this business of flying or helping to provide facilities for aviation. The Commissioners have helped to create an Aviation Com mission and this means that within a short time addition al improvements will be pro vided for nlanes going to and from the Carteret coast. Another Angle To Defense Projects If you are not broad-minded stop at the period follow ing this sentence. We only want to give you angles which perhaps you had not given a thought to, as per haps both you and we went after defense projects. We will get defense projects. The United States Government which we all are paying our allegiance to (it we are good citizens) has seen the need for closing the "open door wav for enemy invasion from the east,' namely the North Carolina coast and as a result a number of defense projects are already completed, un der construction or proposed. There are certain angles which we as citizens must be ready to see with a broad minded viewpoint. The de fenders of our nation, name ly the soldiers and marines are not a bunch of sissies, they are MEN and we mean MEN. On their shore leaves or furloughs they will visit our towns. They will seek entertainment, which may range from beer drinking to you know what. bome ol vou will be surprised to know that camp followers have al ready made applications tor the operation of the "Blue Heaven" type of houses. This will surprise some of you but.it is one of those things that happens where the population is on an in crease and especially where MEN are in the majority. This newspaper is not spon soring anything of an immor al nature, we are only giving an angle to defense projects. Now that we will get defense projects we must all be broad minded and take the favor able and the unfavorable an gles which will be presented as a result of same. Obituaries G. F.

The huge throng of people in attendance, some 1,500 crowding every nook and corner of the beautifully decorated Atlantic Beach Casino, were disappointed that the end had come. For three full days and nights Morehead City and Beaufort were packed with the greatest crowds on record. Stores reported in creased sales, cafes in Morehead City were totally unable to caivs for their guests, hotels and room ing houses were filled to capacity. Attendance at all events was re ported greatly in excess of all pre vious years. Highlighting the three days and nights were the Kiddie Parade; the Postoffite dedication, at which Governor Broughton spoke, and augumented by an aerial display featuring 50 of Uncle Sam's Ma rine planes; the brilliantly illumi nated night water parade under a full meon on Bogue Sound; the free street dance and carnival plus a midnight dance on Atlantic Beach; the acquacade, the bathing beauty and queens contests, both of which were won by Miss Helen Tunstal of Wilson; the mammouth Coronation Ball, featuring Count Basie and his famous orchestra and including a half-hour's radio broadcast over a coast to coast network. All in all the Fourth Annual Coastal Festival was actually "Eig ger and Better than Ever" and credit for its success goes to the Junior Chamber of Commerce of Morehead CHy.
