BEAUFORT BOYS
In The Service
Editor's Note: Last week we
quoted a letter from one of our
Beaufort boys. He said, "The
only way I have of keeping a
breast of who is going in the
service and who is left is thru
the NEWS." From that letter,
this column was born. Let us
know who is going in, who is
promoted, who is moved, so long
as it is not a military secret. In
cidentally, see that every boy in
the service has a copy of the
BEAUFORT NEWS. A special
price of $1.50 is made for serv
ice men.

That $1.50 worth of Stamps we
bought the other day are equal to
the price of a pair of fur-lined
leather gloves which are issued as

For This Material
To meet the nation's war
needs for scrap iron and
steel and other salvage ma
terials, a new intensive drive
will be launched on Monday,
Aug. 10 in Carteret County
to obtain at least 100 tons of
scrap materials, it was an
nounced today by Charles
Hassell, chairman of the local
Salvage Committee. The local
drive is part of the nationwide
drive announced by Donald M.
Nelson, WPB chairman.
"As the war becomes more in
tensive on the various foreign
fronts," Mr. Hassell said, "the
need for scrap materials has
steadily increased." He declared
that while collections of various
types of salvage have already been
made here from time to time, the
expanding requirements of the
war program have made it neces
sary to obtain much larger a
mounts of materials.
"The American steel industry
this year hopes to produce a record-breaking
85,000,000 tons of
steel as much as all foreign coun
tries put together can make. Our
country alone this year is going to
produce three tons of steel for ev
ery two tons the Axis can turn out.
"To bring steel production up
to the industry's full capacity of
90,000,000 tons in 1912, however,
our steel industry needs an extra
6,000,000 tons of scrap steel for
its furnaces. Every ton of scrap
we can send them will swell our

Beaufort Theatre

Early Morning Fire
Both Beaufort and More

the Beaufort Theatre. The
fire centered in the office
which was a total loss, and
considerable damage was
done to the building and furnish

was thought to have originated
from a burning cigarette.
The theatre building is owned
by Mrs. Richard Dickinson, of Ann

the total damage to building and
equipment will be between $8,000
and $10,000. Steps are being tak

First Aiders
To Organize
At the call of Mr. Charles Has
sell a number of Civilian Defense
workers who have taken the First
Aid Course met at the Town Hall
Monday evening. August 3, to plan
an organization of first aiders that
will work smoothly in any emerg
ency or accident regardless of
weather it has direct connection
with war activities or not. Mr.
Hassell discussed the shortage of
doctors, increased population, and
special hazards of today in which
aiders can render service to the
community.
For the organization of a Res
cue Squad with more elaborate
equipment, there must be a mem
bership of fifteen who have re
ceived the Advanced Course in
First Aid. Working toward that
ideal but without waiting to attain
it, Mr. Hassell urged those who
have taken the course to exercise
the skills they have acquired. He
commented especially on the lack
of first aiders in evidence in our
recent Ilarkers Island tragedy
when one young girl lost her life.
He says timidity holds aiders back
from using the knowledge they
have acquired knowledge that
needs exercise to- be perfected.
Mr. Hassell discussed the possi
bility of having some blast of the
fire siren as a call to first aiders
when some emergency arises. This
will be discussed with the Commis
sioners and reported on at the
next meeting.
Arm bands bearing official in.
signia were distributed to those
present to be worn as a badge of
authority when "on duty."
A general discussion iollowed,
and it was decided that each in
structor present would notify
members of his or her class to as
semble next Monday evening, Au
gust 10, at the same hour at which
time there will be further discus
sion and the group will organize.

DR. BLOOMQUIST
LECTURES AT
PIVERS ISLAND
Tells University
Group Of Puerto
Rican Experiences
Last night Dr. H. L. Bloomquist
lectured before the graduate stu
dents and research workers attend
ing the Summer Session of Duke
University Summer School on Pi
vers Island.
Dr. Bloomquist and family
spent last year in Puerto Rico
where he was Exchange Professor,
University of Puerto Rico, San
Juan. He is a botanist and an au
thority on Marine Algae. In ad
dition to his classes in the Uni
versity, he did important research
work in tropical marine algae.
Dr. Bloomquist's lecture, how
ever, was not intended to be high
ly technical; it was a delightful il
lustrated travelog telling of his
journey and activities from the
time he left this country. From it
the group gained an excelent idea
of life on the Island and particu
larly of the colorful tropical flora
abounding there.
Dr. and Mrs. Bloomquist and
Betty came down on Wednesday.
They expect to return to Durham
over the week-end. They have
spent many summers in Beaufort
and at Pivers Island and all have
many friends here.
JULY WEATHER
The following weather report
settles arguments as to which was
the hottest, that Sunday or that
Monday in July, in favor of the
pro-Monday group. On August 20
the temperature soared to 99, the
highest ever reached in the records
of the local station which extend
back to the beginning of the cen
tury.
