Teachers To Hold
Open House In
Their Rooms
AN
OPPORTUNITY
TO MEET TEACHERS
Parents, not only mothers,
but also fathers, who have a
tendency to listen to their
children's version of new
teachers and teaching meth
ods, will have an opportun
ity to observe for themselves
in the class rooms of Beau
fort Graded School next
Tuesday night, November 18, at
7:30 o'clock. The occasion is the
regular monthly meeting of the
PTA, but the feature of the gath
ering will be the "open house"
Tield by grade teachers.
' Parents are urged to attend this
meeting. It is most important for
the child's welfare, that a better
understanding between teachers
and parents exist. It is impossible
for a teacher who has from 40 to
50 pupils in a room, to visit the
parents of each throughout the
vast Beaufort School District.
For a better understanding of
the tchool system and the partic
ular method or system employed
the interested parent is urged to
attend the PTA meeting on Tues
-day night, to meet the teachers of
their children and to discuss any
problem which may have arisen in
the minds of some, relative to the
educational progress that is being
made.

Thanksgiving Day
To Be Observed On
November 20, 1941
Through proclama t i o n,
Governor J. M. Broughton
has designated Thursday,
November 20, as Thanksgiv
ing Day in North Carolina
this year. That is next Thurs
day. While The Beaufort
News will be published as
usual, those who bring out
the paper each week would
appreciate the cooperation
of advertisers and those who
wish to contribute news to
send same in early in the
week, so our employees can
have at leist a part holiday
on Thanksgiving.
First Citizens Bank and Trust
Company, all public offices, (in
cluding postoffice) and perhaps a
few of the stores will observe a
holiday on next Thursday. Sup
erintendent J. G. Allen's office re
ported that Thanksgiving was a
compulsory holiday in all State
schools, and that it was optional
with the principals of each school
whether the following day (Fri
day) would be observed. Beaufort
and Morehead City schools will
observe Thursday and Friday, giv
ing four holidays (including Sat
urday and Sunday) in a row, and
it is likely that all other county
schools will do likewise.
It has been reported that 1941
will be the last year that Thanks
giving will be observed other than
the last Thursday in November.
VICTORY NO. 3
FORB.H.S.WAS
MADE FRIDAY
Defeat Vanceboro
19 To 0 In Muddy
. Field Game
By A. R. RICE
Victory number three was
annexed by Beaufort High
last Thursday over Vance
boro 19 to 0 in a game play
ed on an all-day rain-soaked
field with intermittent show
ers throughout the conflict.
One defeat and one tie are on
the red side of Beaufort's
ledger for the season.
The first quarter ended with
the locals on Vanceboro's 4 yard
line. Talbot Dunn carried to the
foot line to start the second quar
ter and crashed over on the next
play. Extra point conversion wa-j
wide of the uprights. Chris Rog
ers, on a spinner, went 45 yards
to touchdown in the third quarter
Carl Sadler passed into the end
zone to Bill Davis for point, mak
ing it 13 to 0. This play originated
from a place-kick formation that,
as always, caught the enemy flat
footed. Third and final score
came in the last stanza. Sadler
passed from Vanceboro's 40 to
Davis who made the catch on the
5 and sped across for 19 to 0. Place
kick was blocked.
The locals had a seeming touch
down called back due to an offside.

COVERING THE
WATERFRONT
By AYCOCK BROWN
DOWN IN THE barber shop
this morning we were talking
about old coins and old money.
Mr. John Wolfe, who is probably
North Carolina's oldest active bar
ber, told about the time he repair
pH some sDectacles for the late
Capt. John Beveridge, master of
the schooner "George A. Howes"
and other sailing craft in and out
of this and North Carolina ports
for many years. When he got
ready to pay for the job of re
pairing the glasses, Capt. Bev
eridge paid with 50 cents in U. S.
Currency, and a dime, the total
cost being 60 cents. It has been
many years since currency in de
nominations of less than one dol
lar was printed in America, but
once it was not unusual to have
currency in denominations of five
cents, 25 cents and even 50 cents.
BEING INTERESTED in old
money, I would like to have some
of the early day currency in de
nomination of less than one dol
lar. About all I' could pay, how
ever, would be face value which
incidentally is about all the cur
rency brings, even from collectors.
There is a general misunderstand
ing about the value of old coins.

Core Creek's Community
Church, Inc., one of two non

in North Carolina, will be
consecrated on Sunday, No

today by the Rev. W. Y.
Stewart, pastor. The ser

lic is extended an invitation to at

ning, on the same date, there will
be a musical program and sacred
songfest.
Core Creek Community Church,
one of the most beautiful rural
churches in eastern North Carolina
was completed two years ago. It
was given to the people of Core
Creek by Col. F. S. Dickinson, of
Rutherford, N. J. He gave the
church not as a memorial to his
ancestors or parents who lived ii
that section, nor as a memorial U
himself. He saw the need for a
new building to replace the old
Core Creek house of worship, and
so he built one, which is not only
one of the most beautiful, but al
so one of the most completely
equipped church properties in the
State.
One of the newest features of
the church is the new Hammond
Organ and the Maas Cathedra!
Chimes. The organ and chimes
were dedicated at impressive ser
vices on Sunday, November 2,
with the Rev. Mr. Stewart in the
pulpit, with Dr. Barnes of the
Methodist Orphanage in Raleigh
as a gust, with Vernon Jordan of
Stephenson Music Company at the
console of the organ and chimes,
and with an auditorium crowded to
capacity with worshipers and visi
tors. See CHURCH Page 8

A total of $310.90 was

the Boy Scout movement in

with the results of the drive.
Speaking on behalf of the

"Permit me, on behalf of the

in this respect (as well as cash)
we are truly greatful.

"By far too many people have
looked upon the Boy Scout organ

NAZI SABOTAGE
The man to watch in Europe to
daynext to Hitler is a suave and
charming diplomat in Turkey
named Franz von Papen. It is al
ways a significant omen when Hitler
sends Von Papen to a country. It
means he has dire and potent in
tentions regarding that area.
It was Von Papen .who went. to
Austria as ambassador to soften
it in preparation for the Nazi oc
cupation. It was Von Papen who 28
years ago tried to do the same
thing here. And now, with weath
er getting cold in Russia and Hitler
running lower and lower on oil, a
Nazi squeeze cn Turkey become
almost inevitable. To prepare for
it, Ambassador Von Papen has been
working overtime in Turkey.
Almost forgotten is Von Papen's
attempt to soften and sabotage the
United States during the last war.
But his operations here indicate the
lengths to which he may go in Tur
key to bring that country Into the
Axis. r
In 1915. Von Papen was German
military attache in Washington
when Count Johann von Bernstorff
returned from England with a
satchel containing $150,000,000 in
German treasury notes.
Von Papen, then in Mexico City,
hurried north, and immediately
began organizing a network of
spies.
