WINTEB FLANS
Ai far as can be ascertained, the
most important point under dis
cussion between Hitler and Musso
lini during their recent visit to the
Russian battle lines was a plan by
which Italian troops would hold
down a sizeable portion of the Ger
man front during the Russian winter
stalemate.
Naturally, no one outside the
Fascist-Nazi high command really
knows the details of what happened.
However, Mussolini squawked so
loudly over Hitler's demands, that
their general nature leaked out in
Rome where a lot of army leaders
are none too friendly to the Axis.
"Hitler's theory, bluntly put, was
that the Italians were no good as
fighters; so during the winter months
when there was no fighting to be
done, they could move into the
trenches and protect the German
lines.
Then Hitler could ship his troops
down to Africa, and could clean up
the whole of North Africa before
spring and good fighting weather re
turned to Russia. Hitler figured
that during the winter he could take
over all of French North Africa,
Egypt and the Suez canal, then pene
trate to Dakar from which he
would have a base against South
America.
It has long been known that Hit
ler realizes he has to move fast in

Atlantic Fishermen
Make Biggest Catch
Of Spots Of Season
A crew of six fishermen Down
East made the unbelievable catch
of 140,000 pounds of spots in
Core Sound on the weekend. It is
the largest catch of fish made by
a single crew this season and per
haps in many seasons. Conditions
were just right for retaining the
captured fish and Clayton Fulcher,
well known Atlantic dealer hand
led the catch with his available
run-boats.
Young Dr. Daniels, who is op
erating his father's ice plant at At
lantic who reported the big catch
to The Beaufort News stated that
he did not know the names of the
party making the catch. It was
reported that they received ap
proximately $2,900 for the fish.
Catches were still good on Wed
nesday and a total of over 2,500
boxes of fish were brought to deal
ers at Atlantic harbor.
COVERING THE
WATERFRONT
By AYCOCK BROWN
IT SEEMS, judging from what
one reads between the lines, the
Atlantic and East Carolina Rail
road would like for the Beaufort
and Morehead short line to cease
operations. I may be wrong but
that is how I have read between
the lines. The latest story was one
under a Kinston dateline which
indicated that while the A. and E.
C. had not operated in black fig
ures, to any extent since H. P. Ed
wards and associates took over,
that the B. and M., its connecting
carrier at the eastern terminus
which owns no rolling stock, has
not operated in the red since it
was purchased for a song by local
business men.
IT SEEMS TO me and I'll ad
mit that I am a non-railroad man
that the B & M would be making
a very worthwhile move if it ex
tended operations (by motor
freight and express, of course) to
the communities in East and north
Carteret. It seems to me that such
a daily service would encourage
more shipping by B.M. There could
be sub-express and freight offices
at Harlowte, Atlantic, Cedar Is
land, Sea Level, Stacy, Davis, Wil
liston, Smyrna, Marshallb erg

CLERGYMEN OF
DIOCESE MEET
IN BEAUFORT
Bishop Darst And
27 Rectors Met
At Inlet Inn
The Rt. Rev. Thomas C.
Darst, Bishop of the Diocese,
and 27 clergymen of the
Episcopal Church in East
Carolina met at the Inlet Inn
on Tuesday evening, Septem
ber 30 for the Annual Clergy
Conference. The Rev. Theo
dora Barth, rector of Calvary
Church, Memphis, Tenn.,
Chaplain Wolverton and Chaplain
Pierce of Camp Davis attended as
guests of the Diocese. The Rev.
Theodore Barth led two confer
ences for the meeting.
The first conference and discus
sion on Tuesday night dealt with
Worship and Prayer as the foun
dations and essentials of Christian
life. Mr. Barth likened worship
and prayer as roots supplying
strength to the tree of personality
which produces fruits of action.
The morning session opened
with Holy Communion in St. Paul's
Church followed by reports by the
various departments of the Church
activity in the Diocese. The second
conference led by Mr. Barth dealt
with the second phase of the Ten
Year Flan of Forward in Service
being followed by the Episcopal
Church throughout the nation.
This second phase, called Our
Parish in Action, sets forth sug
gestions for forward activities
with children, young people and
adults.
The conference ended with din
ner at the Inn at one o'clock.

Misses Deer And
Loses Shirt Tail
L. C. Springle of Beaufort RFD
misted the first deer of the season
early today and as a result Tom
Tosto revived the quaint old hunt
ing; custom of cutting off the tail
of Springle's shirt.
In the party hunting this morn
ing besides Springle and Tosto
were Corp. Clay, Murray Thomas,
Sam Cibbs, Tom Gibbs and Robert
Willis. The deer season opened
yesterday.
Sales taxes.
Admission prices to movies, and
shows of any kind have increased,
due to the tax. Hard hit will be
the bowling alleys and pool room
operators and other places of rec
reation. Each alley must pay $10
per year and a like sum in taxes
must be paid for pool tables, if op
erated for commercial pruposes.
Personal exemption on income
tax returns have been lowered to
a point where there will be few
who will not be required to file re
turns for the year 1941. The mon
ey thus collected on the non-essentials
plus the federal income
taxes, etc., will go to pay for the
great debt that it accumulating as
result of the WAR.

JOHN MORRISON
AWARDED WINGS
INAIRCORPS
Completing his advanced flying
course at Maxwell Field, Alabama,
last Friday, John Mckenzie Morri
son, son of Mrs. Morrison and the
late Major John Morrison of Beau
fort was appointed a second lieu
tenant in the Air Corps Reserve,
received the military aeronautical
rating of "Pilot", his coveted
"Wings" and was assigned to ex
tended active duty with an Air
Corps tactical squadron for a pe
nod of one year. He is the first
Beaufort boy to make the grade in
the U. S. Army Air Corps.
While at Maxwell Field his ad
vanced training included flying a
low wing monoplane powered by
a 600 horsepower motor on 70
hours of f amil arization flights,
individual accuracy, formation,
night and time and distance navi
gation problems. In addition to
this he received ground school
training in military organization,
signal communication, code prac
tice (in which be attained a profic
iency of eight words per minute),
combat orders, squadron duties of
junior officers, infantry drills and
ceremonies and pistol practice.
It is rather suggestive to note
what slight difference there is be
tween the words "brag" and
"bray."

First sections to be served will

underway to extend the service to
Salter Path and in the course of
