fcHjDITORIAL PACE
He's Left Us a Better World
Carteret county has lost one of Its best friends.
Not only did Colonel Dickinson bring us honor by permitting
us to bask in the brilliant light of his success, he didn't forget us.
On his regular visits to Beaufort there was a handclasp and
sincere greeting for all his friends, while or black. We were
proud of him, even a little in awe of him, and always pleased when
we saw him or heard on Front Street, "Colonel Dickinson's here!"
With the material sources at his disposal he built those
things which feed the eternal in man education, development
of the mind, religion, cultivation of the spiritual. Even his major
enterprise, manufacture of surgical instruments, was the means
of bringing health and life to the wounded and infirm.
Of the countless billions who have dwelled on Earth it can
be said of only a comparative few, "The world is better for his
having lived." '
Colonel Dickinson can be numbered among those.
flaking Ball Parks Safer
Baseball fans who attend games at the local parks won't have
to worry about those dangerous foul balls much longer.
Last week the screen at Wade Brothers park, which had been
pretty well torn up and of little use in the way of protection,
was replaced by some brand new chicken wire. Where fans pre-,
viously had . to duck for fear of getting a black eye, they could
continue enjoying the game with the knowledge that the stands
were a safe place to stay.
The screen at Beaufort ball park, repaired some time ago, has
proved a great aid to safety on that field, but work is still under
way to correct a hazardous condition In the stands. While the
screen is a great help, it does not protect the fans in the top two
or three rows nor does it shield any of the onlookers from high
foul balls because there is no roof.
The ways and means committee of the Parent-Teachers asso
ciation, which has been responsible for many recent improvements
at the ball field, says that a roof will be added to the stands as
soon as possible, affording complete protection to occupants. Work
has been held up thus far because of lack of materials.
With the addition of all these new safety guards, local ball
fields will be what they ought to be a place where men can bring
their wives and kids can bring their pals for a few hours of care
free relaxation and enjoyment without any anxiety for personal
safety.
Commissioners at Bat (or Fort
List week in convention at Atlantic Beach the North Carolina
State Association of County Commissioners- adopted a resolution
advocating the full scale restoration and development of Fort
Macon State park at Beaufort inlet.
This action was taken at the request of the board of directors
of the Morehead City Chamber of Cornmerc, The Chamber
received the whole-hearted csoofkrratidft of John C. Skinner of
Warren county who is secretary and trjasfrer of the County Com
missioners association.
Resolutions adopted by this body will be drafted Into bills by
their legislative committee and presented to the next session of the
North Carolina General assembly for action.'
We have long realised the potential value of old Fort Macon
as an historic landmark of great interest to vacationers and the
use of local citizens and visitors alike. And realized as well the
startling lack of appropriate action to accomplish this.
It la hoped that this program, when activated, will include
adequate roadside Information leading the wayfarer to the siU of
this historic key to bur coastal defences and also provide for the
comfort and pleasures of these who find their way there.
In May there were over 2,000 registered visitors atVort Macon
and the figures for June will greatly exceed this number.

NO ABSENTEES - Thp fact !
that there can be no absentee bal
lots cast in the Primary either
first or second seems to be
fharply changing thp old political
pattern that politicians of this
State used to their advantage in
other days. The 'absentee 'bfat
Dick Fountain in 1932. Ii dowtyd
Ralph McDonald in 1936. Ifit
were being used this time, Charles
M. Johnson would win by any
where from 35,000 to 50,000 votes.
But it has gone the way of the
buffalo and now takes its place in
the realm of lamplight, the horse
and buggy, and half-forgotten
things.
THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC
If the pattern which was set in
1932, and which was folowed in
1936 and 1944, and to some ex
tent in 1940, could hold this time,
Johnson would be your next Gov
ernor. But indications are that
it just is not holding. It's rip
ping at the seams. It is diinte
grating, falling apart. All the old
tricks are being used, but they
don't seem to be working. That
old black magic has lost its power.
Money is being used by the bucket
ful, wt what is money worth
these days?
NOT PASQUOTANK Former
Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus went
on the radio last week in behalf
of Charles M. Johnson. It was a
wonderful courthouse speech.
Ehrlnghaus, a charming gentle
man, pulled out all the stops. But
-reports from Northeastern North
Carolina, which nurtured him in
his youth and sent him to Raleigh
In 1932, where he has since re
mained, say this section is still for
Kerr Scott, "Ehringhaus or no
Ehrlnghaus." Could be.
AYCOCK INFLUENCE The
great Charles B. Aycock, known
as the father of education in North
Carolina, has been dead nearly 40
years. However, last week found
his son-in-law and his grandson
speaking for Kerr Scott. Major L.
P. McLendon of Greensboro,
chairman at the recent State Demo
cratic Convention, spoke for Scott
at a rally In Roxboro. Charles Poe,
son of Dr. Clarence Poe, editor oi
the, Progressive Farmer, and Ay
cock's grandson went on the radio
for Kerr Scott.
raw NEW DAY There is ne
stronger Seott supporter in North
Carolina than Clarence Poe. He
isn't saying much about It public
ly in fact, nothing but he is
of the opinion that a new day is
now dawning for North Carolina.
CAM MORRISON The grand-
nit rwtmocrat of them all. Cam
Morrison, made speeches last wee
for Charted M. Johnson. He has
lost a lot of hit vigor, but the fire
ia still there. And so two oi our
four living ex-Governors are for
Johnson Ehringhaus and Morri
on: HauMvaf. the late Max Gard-
iers son-in-law. Senator Clyde R.
Hoey, is strangely silent, and so Is
the other ex-Governor, J.
Broughton.
NOT COMING OUT - There
was some opinion three weeks ago
'waitll nsxt i&mi't"
- T
'
come out for Charles M. Johnson,
but it can be said definitely now i
that he will not. Also, Secretary!
of State Thad Eure says he has
written no lettrrs for Kerr Scott
. . . net one letter, and some of his
friends who felt that the Johnso.1
forces brought out John Armstrong j
a0?mst him have criticized him or
stayg out of it
Pr&DICTION Visits in many
sections of the State and reports
which have been received from the
other sections within the pist
three dasy lead this column to pre
dict that Kerr Scott will defeat
State Treasurer Charles M. John-1
son by a minimum of 20,000 votes j
on Saturday. This would result in
"real changes ii Raleigh. A fur
ther prediction: If this hapens, one
of Scotts first moves will be a
tremendous rural road-building
prneram. There are seven differ
ent roads one can take to his farm
in Alamance County, and they are.
all dirt . . . dust in summer and
mud in winter. You will also see
the death of the gag rule in the
Legislature and later a Statewide
vote on liquor (the U. S. spent
nearly 10 billion dolalrs for alco
hol last year, according to figures
released a few days ago). You may
also expect a definite decrease in
OUT ON A LINE This is a
big State and there are no polls
operating to give you a look into
the future, so it is easy to make a
mistake on predictions on a vote.
And that is as it should be. No
body should be able to count on a
certain block of votes, etc. It's
bad to get out on a limb, but It
makes for mighty interesting read
ing. Three items lend strength to the
above prediction regarding a vic
tory for Scott: The Baptists have
been circulating strong letters for
Kerr Scott, and there are nearly
as many Baptists as English spar
rows in jsortn Carolina; mere
seems to be a definite tie-in of
agriculture and labor for Scott;
and there have been many reports
of dissension and general disor
ganization within the past three
weeks in the Johnson headquar
ters in Raleigh and in county com
mittees.

45 Cars Per Month Go
To Each Anto Dealer
WASHINGTON The nation's
40,000 new car dealers have an
average quota of only 45 automo
biles for the first six months of
this year, a bulletin of the Nation
al Automobiles Dealers association
said today. This was based on an
estimated production of substan
tially 1,800,000 cars.
"Passenger car production so
far this ."ear has been on about
the same level as during the seven
years preceding Pearl Harbor," the
statement pointed out. "There
were automobiles for all who want
ted them then, but today there are
orders for 6,000,000 cars on deal
ers' books that can not be deliver
ea. This is enough to absorb the
major part of contemplated,, pro
duction for the next two years,,
"Motor vehicle owners 6f thp
country, however, through the ex
penditure of $7,000,000,000 a year
on repairs and replacement parts,
are keeping so many old vehicles
in service that the total number
is now 3,000,000 higher than ever
before."

Mr. J. L. Hill, of Newport, says
"The new ditch I dynamited early
this year has been of great value
to me in getting my crops off to
an early and good start this year.
J. R. Garner, of Newport, has an
exceptionally good pasture that he
seeded in February. Mr. Garner
kaiH "I limed this field two years
ago and since seeding it this spring
I have allowed it to get well estab
lished befor beginning erazing."
Mr. Garner seeded a mixture of
ladino clover, red clover, orchard
grass and lespedcza.
Archie Hardesty says, "It looks
like I'll have to cut that sericea
meadow of mine again next
month." Mr. Hardesty has already
ut about a ton of high quality
hay per acre from his sericea.
Sonny Long hns an acre of Bla
den silty clay on his farm which
h seeded to lespedeza pasture this
spring. Bladen soil is the poorest
drained of all soils found in tar

that "The way lespedena grows on
that soil makes me sure it is best
suited to pasture."

Bradshaw credits hi seven' grey-v
hounds with the success of his
northeastern Oklahoma "wolf ex
termination" service. "My hounds,"
he says, "can snap the life right
out of the biggest wolf that
roams."
Bradshaw doesn't charge for his
service. Neither does he collect the
$2.50 bounty the state pays for
each wolf bagged. With him, it's
a hobby. He began his bunting two
years ago after a pack of wolves ,
invaded his farm, mangling two'
calves and killing several young
turkeys.
Bradshaw hunts the wolves in a
pickup truck with a hinged tail
board which can be opened in the
truck's cab. The dogs ride in the
back. "I just drive around a ranch
until I spot a wolf," he says. "Then ,
I let the greyhounds out and they
pick up the scent and that's all
there is to it." He recently account
ed for 20 wolves in less than that
many trips."
