Town
With
MACK CLARK
We missed out the last week or
so. Mainly for the simple reason
that we didn't have anything par
ticular to complain about. How
ever, we have found somethirg and
forthwith complaint. (Not that we
expect it will do any good).
OBSTRUCTIONS
Since all of us have finally be
come convinced that we must walk
except when we need to go some
distance out of town, all of us
would appreciate some attempt to
remove the obstructions to pleas
ant walking both by day and by
night.
Along the north side of Front
street on the block from Turner
and Craven there are a number of
awnings. They are needed to pro
tect displays in store windows
from the afternoon sun. But at
lfast every other one of tlicm is
hung so low that the averago size
person cannot walk under thent
without getting a permanent
"crick" in his neck. Once in a
while there are few enough people
on the street to permit one to walk
outside them. Usually it is cither
bend your neck or walk in the gut

4-H Members Carry
War-Time Projects
Congratulations to the 100,000
members of 4-H Clubs in North
Carolina are extended by L. R.
Harrill, State 4-H Club leader of
the N. C. State College Extension

vember 1-7, and the National ob
servance of 4-H Achievement
Week is scheduled for November
7-14.
Harrill and Miss Frances Mac
Gregor, assistant State club lead
er, made a sample survey of 4-H
activities in 30 counties, and they
found evidence that approximate
ly $267,419 worth of War Savings
Bonds and Stamps have been pur
chased, and $194,317 worth sold,
by the 4-H clubs of the State.
The 100,000 club member? have
collected approximately 6 1-2 mil
lion pounds of scrap metal, more
than one million pounds of scrap
paper and rags and 858,632 pounds
of scrap rubber through their co
operation in the Salvage-for-Vic-tory
program.
About 10,594 members increas
ed the farm family's fuel supply
through 4-8 forestry projects, 8,
066 members participated in fire
prevention work, and 15,723 en
listed on the campaign to repair
and care for farm machinery.
A total of 14,199 members took
first aid courses, 1,788 farm boys
and girls are acting as air raid
wardens, and 29,098 are cooperat
ing with local defense agencies in
other activities.
Harrill says that practically ev
ery 4-H boy and girl, including the
400,000 new members enrolled
through the 4-H Mobilization for
Victory campaign last summer,
has conducted a food production
project, such as growing a veget
able garden, corn, peanuts and
soybeans, or raising poultry, swine,
dairy calves, and baby beeves.
Funds From 1941
Christmas Seals
Have Served County
The 1911 Christmas Seal Fund
has helped many individuals dur
ing the past year. Mrs. J. G. Al
len, Seal Sale chairman for the
County, and Mrs. Rudolph Dowdy,
chairman for the Morehead City
area, conducted the sales. The
funds obtained by sale of Christ
mas Seals by each of the County
schools were all combined to cre
ate a central fund which has been
administered by the County Health
Department.
A recent check-up revealed that
over 15 individuals have received
X-Ray films of the chest through
this fund. Several others have been
given transportation to and from
the Sanatorium.
Sanitary supplies have also been
furnished to tuberculosis patients
living at home.
Many other services have been
made available to this County in
directly from Seal Sale funds. The
most important of these has been
the Fluoroscopic clinics conducted
by the Extension Service of the
State Sanatorium. Literature for
tuberculosis prevention work and
supplies of many kinds have been
of considerable value to the coun
ty during the past year.
To save gas and rubber, more
than 125 saddle horses are being
used by Indian Service Extension
employees on at least 14 Indian
reservations in this country.

BEAUFORT, N. C, THURSDAY, NOV. 5, 1942.
Republicans Did Not
Put A Ticket In The
Field This Year
Both Amendments Carry
Hassell Leads Ticket
A normal election vote for
Carteret County would mean
between five and six thou
sand ballots cast. Election of
ficials expected 2000 on last
Tuesday. Instead, when the
Election Board met this
morning at the Court House
and canvassed the vote, b . K.
Seeley, Chairman stated that
but 974 votes were cast in
the county. Of these 6 were
absentee votes.
On Tuesday at 2:30 when a
friend went with me to vote, we
were the only two present exercis
ing our soverign right. Our heels
clacked in the hall and echoed and
re-echoed in the tall emptiness. On
ly two hundred and eighteen votes
were case in Beaufort in the 12
hours allotted for voting, 18 every
60 minutes. In our twin city across
the river but 169 votes were cast,
Following ia the total vote of 26
precincts out of 27 (Stella not re
ported) ; For U. S. Senator, J. W.
Bailey, (D) 846; S. J. Morris (R)
128; For Congress, Graham Bar
den, 947. Educational Amendment
717 for;' 119 against. Solicitorial
Amendment 589 for; 102 against.
County candidates received the
following vote: D. M. Clark Solici
tor, 5th Judicial District, 929, Sen
atorial District John D . Larkin.
925, K. A. Pittman, 918; H. S.
Gibbs, State House of Representa
tives, 929; L. W. Hassell Clerk of
Superior Court, 938; C. G. Holland
for Sheriff 937; Paul Webb, Judge

County Commissioner, W. Z. Mc-
Cabe 937, K. P. B. Bonner 931, C.
Z. Chappell 932, Tilton Davis 935,
W. G. Styron 933.
The State went solidly democrat.
Bailey won over Morris with wide
margin . Both Constitutional A-
mendments were passed.
Nationally, Republicans gained
9 seats in the Senate reducing the
Democratic majority to the lowest
level since 1933. In the House they
now hold 205 seats compared with
218 for the Democrats, 2 for the
Progressives, one for American La
bor, and one for Farm Labor, with
8 seats undecided.
As Raymond Crowley ays,
"Whatever the cause of the 0. O.
P. (nationally) and however one
may feel about it, there are three
men who would be well advised not
to take any comfort from it" they
are Hitler and, those other two. No
candidate elected has stood on a
platform of anything other than
unity in pushing the War to a
successful finish for us.
FINALE ON
SCHOOL SCRAP
Final figures show the collec
tion of 595,894 pounds, or 217.9
tons, by the school children of Car
teret during the scrap drive. Smy
rna's collection turned out to be
6'.U90 pounds or 308.4 pounds
per pupil, slightly topping Har
ker's Islands collections of 70,100
pounds, or 294.5 pounds per pupil.
In addition to a feeling of deep
satisfaction in a patriotic duty ex
ceptionally well done during a
time of national need, the chi'dren
of the county stand to be funher
rewarded by the many improved
facilities which the $1,489.74 to
be derived therefrom will buy.
The minimum for scrap is 25c per
100 pounds.
Movie Cast Eat At
Morehead City Cafe
The Sanitary Fish Market, of
Morehead City, has entertained a
good many notables, but it does
not make them blase and they
frankly enjoyed being host to the
cast of "Salute to the Marines"
last Saturday night when they
came over from the New River
Marine Base at nine o'clock in the
special bus they use in driving a
bout the base to shoot scenes. Wal
lace Beery, leading man, was lit
erally and figuratively head of the
table around which gathered 30
men smacking their lips over
"jumbo platters."
Chief Longest
Asks Cooperation
Of Merchants
Chief of Police, Walter Longest,
who is also head of the street de
partment, asked the Beaufort
New3 to state through its columns
asking the merchants on Fi'ont
Street to please cooperate with the
street department in keeping
Front street as clean as possible.
He stated that the business block
is swept every morning before day
light and by 9 o'clock the street
in front of some of the stores is
littered with cabbage leaves and
other vegetable refuse.
Chief Longest also stated the al
ley on Craven street must be kept
unobstructed, in other words cars
will not be allowed to park in front
of this alley, which has been nar
rowed recently by a fence. No park
ing signs will be painted at this
spot in the near future.
Miss Britton Speaks
To Methodist Ladies
The Woman's Society for Chris-j
tian Service of the Methodist
Church had an unexpected and in
spiring experience when Miss Em
ma Britton, who returned but three
months ago after six years as a
missionary in India, talked to them
Monday afternoon about the coun
try she has learned to love. She
spoke of its vast size. With the
exception of Russia, all Europe
could be placed within its borders
She described it a3 a country of
contrasts in which there is the
magnificent Taj Mahal, but also
hundreds of thousands of crudely
formed mud huts; a country of
fabulously rich rajahs and business
men, but a country in which the
majority of the people go nightly
to bed hungry; a land of great
thinkers and philosophers but also
one of appalling illiteracy.
In regard to the question of
home rule that cannot be left out
of any discussion of India, she said
that the villagers, the group of
which she knows most, have been
satisfied with British rule. They
are a simple people and they just
know that they fare better under
English rule than they fared be
fore. Propaganda, howeve:, has
had its effect, and they now want
home rule. With one religion, Miss
Britton thinks India could handle
her own affairs, for as she says
the great illiteracy is not due to
lack of intelligence but to lack of
opportunity and even now Indians
bear much of the responsibility of
the government. The Mohamme
dans, however, will not cooperate
with the Hindus in forming a dem
ocratic government because they
are in the minority. She feels, too,
that this is, of course, too ctitical
a moment for India to take over.
Miss Britton gave a second talk
on Wednesday before the Inter
mediate Girl's Auxiliary, of the
Baptist Church, in the home of
Mrs. Tad Davis.
Miss Britton will be in Beaufort
throughout the week as the guest
of the Charlie Brittons after
which she returns to Remini, S.
C. to be with her mother.

Day Of Prayer Will
Be Observed At
St. Paul's Church
The congregation of St. Paul's
Church, Beaufort, will observe the
annual Day of Prayer on Wednes
day, November 11, Armistice Day.
The church will be open from 8:00
a. m. until 6:00 p. m. during which
time it is hoped some person will
be present so that a continual of
fering of prayer may be made.
Members of the congregation
will be requested at the 11 o'clock
service Sunday morning to place
their names on a chart marked off
in fifteen minute periods cover
ing the hours of the day. Others
of the community are invited to
come to the church at any conven
ient time and join with the people
of St. Paul's in this offering.
Leaflets for guidance and par
ticipation in the prayers v;U be
provided. The leaflets are based
on a form of self-examination fol
lowed by intercessory prayers for
others and for the war-torn world.
The Day of Prayer has been
sponsored by the Woman's Auxil
iary of the Episcopal Church for
a number of years, both in times
of peace and times of war. In this
year it is most appropriate that
heart-searching prayer and medi
tation be made. In such manner
only will the peoples of the earth
come to an understanding of each
other and the world's ills.

From
BEAUFORT NEWS 1922
Election returns indicate that
Carteret County which two years
ago gave a complete Republican
majority reversed itself this time
and gave a big majority to the De
mocrats. Williston remains the ban
ner Republican precinct having
polled 102 out of 104 votes cast.
The residence of Mr. John Gilli
kin at the forks of the New Bern
and North River roads was destroy
ed by fire yesterday morning
at about three o'clock. The fire is
supposed to have started from a
lamp that exploded.
A committee to decide on the lo-

and a delegation from Beaufort
will go there to make a bid for it.
The committee is composed of Dr.

Girls Vie For AH-
'Round Records
More than 200,000 4-H girls in
this and 41 other States are now
making the final drive to achieve
one of the most coveted objectives
in club work that of being chos
en as the outstanding all-around
girl clubster in their county, State,
and nation. To gain one or all of
these goals, they are participating
in the National 4-H Girl's Record
contest, in which superior achieve-,
ments in home economics projects
and activities are also rewarded
by Montgomery Ward in the lorm
of medals, trips, and college schol
arships. That participants in this annual
contest have well-rounded 4-H
records is reflected in the achieve
ments of previous winners. Their
records show that they know how
to keep healthy, improve their
room, renovate old clothes into
"new" and becoming garments,
prepare and serve nutritious meals,
keep house, can foods, raise gar
dens, beautify home surroundings,
handle poultry and livestock, ex
hibit, demonstrate, and judge, as
well as take active part in com
munity life.
County winners receive gold
medals, recipients of State honors
are awarded all-expense trips to
the 21st National 4-H Club Con
gress in Chicago, Nov. 29-Dec. 2,
and national winners are present
ed with a $200 college scholarship
each. This is the twentieth anni
