Judge Luther Hamilton
spoke with the eloquence for
which he is noted last night
at the Armistice Day dinner
of Carteret Post 99 at the
American Legion Hut,
"The cause for which those of
the last war fought has not been
lost, but it is our privilege to make
other contributions," Judge Ham
ilton said.
"There are those who aume
that what has gone on elsewhere
cannot possibly go on here. We
delude ourselves. The great nat
ural barriers have gone air
planes have annihilated space, and
the possibility is real notwith
standing the silver lining to clouds
over North Africa. It is not im
possible that we shall shed more
tears and see our land veiled in
blood before the malestrom passes.
"There are too many generali
ties as to what we are fighting for.
It is to win, and to establish a
peace that will permit us to carry
on as we please. A glorious pic
ture is being painted in North Af
rica and the Solomons tonight.
We've heard too often 'too late
and too little', but they haven't
given up!

then threw away the peace. There

ial four page school edition

rection plans are taking shape is
composed of Mrs. David Merrill,

Mrs. Hardy Lewis Jr., Mrs. Harry
Saunders, Mrs. Edith Pitts, and
Mrs. Charlie Britton. Those head
ing special committees are Miss
Glady3 Chadwick, editor-in-chief;
Miss Lena Duncan, circulation

such an edition, Miss Chadwick
will be glad to have you communi
cate with her or send it in to this
office.
The purpose of the edition 13
twofold: one to make money
for the P.T.A., but members of

REV. POTTER
COMES BACK
FOR 4THYEAR
Place of Meeting
For Next Year
Not Determined
At the N. C. Conference
of the Methodist Church in
session at Wilson last week,
but one change was made in
a Carteret pastorate. Rev. LJ
E. Sawyer was assigned to
Bath after two years at the
Marshallberg church. His
successor was not named but
a pastor will undoubtedly be
assigned to the church there
soon.
Beaufort Methodists and friends
were happy to welcome the Pot
ters back for a fourth year. Since
his student pastorates, Mr. Potter
has served but three churches. To
each he has returned for four
years. At the regular morning
service last Sunday, he expressed
appreciation of the cooperation
received during his ministry here.
In a brief resume of his Confer
ence report he stated that all de
partments of the church working
together had contributed some
thing over $105 a week for the
support of the church here and a-
broad during the past year.
Of our past pastors: Rev. L.
D. Hayman was returned to Atlan
tic for a fourth year; Rev. C. T.
Rogers goes back to his Wallace-
Rose Hill appointment. Mr. Rog
ers son, Kev. rl. L. Kcgers, was
ordained deacon this year. He is
awaiting his appointment as Chap
lain, and in the meantime is serv
ing as his father's associate pastor.
Rev. E. B. Craven, after four
years at Creedmore, was sent to
Garner; Rev. .R. F. Munns goes
back to Hertford for a fifth year;

Post Office Dept.
Asks For Early
Christmas Mailing
The Post Office Department
now is starting the most gigantic
task in its history the movement
of a deluge of Christmas parcels,
cards and letters while maintain
ing the regular flow of millions of
pieces of mail daily to and irom
our armed forces all over the
world.
Indications are that the volume
of Christmas mail will be the -largest
on record. Already in Septem
ber, latest month for which figures
are available, reiau saies nau
reached a level second only to the
record month of December, 1941,
according to the Dcpartmert or
Commerce. And sales are rising.
Such heavy purchases always pre
sage heavy mailings.
If thousands of our soldiers,
sailors, marines and civilian
friends are not to be disappointed
at Christmas time, the public must
cooperate by mailing earlier than
ever before and by addressing let
ters and parcels properly. The
best efforts of the Post Office De
partment alone cannot be enough,
in view of wartime difficulties
faced by the postal system. The
public must assist.
About 25,000 experienced post
al workers already have been tak
en by the war services. Arrange
ments are under way to add thou
sands of temporary personnel to
postal staffs, but this man power
is hard to find and is inexperienc
ed. Facilities of railroads and air
lines are heavily taxed by move
ments of huge quantities of war
materials and personnel, axtra
trucks are almost impossible to ob
tain. Winter weather, hampering
transportation, is beginning.
The deadline already is past for
mailing gifts to Army and Navy
personnel overseas with assuiance
that the parcels will arrive Dy
Christmas.
The Post Office Department
is making strenuous efforts to a
void such a terrific jam as it faced
in 1918 under similar conditions,
rinrino. the First World War. It
can succeed in those efforts and
avoid many heartaches for its pa
eons if the public will cooperate
by mailing early.

Mr. Avison Speaks
To Newport's PTA
"Only by each of us doing our

was the central theme of Mr. L. B.
Avison's plea before members of
Newport's P. T. A. at their regu-

emphasized the pauses that come
after each war and the place they
play in our Democracy. In relating
his experiences living in Japan,
Germany and England, Mr. Avison
vividly described the peoples of
these different countries in the re
lation to the present war.
Prior to Mr. Avisons' talk, the
