That way one has all P 4he fun pf spending and, perhaps, that little extra thrill of spend ing here, there, and any old way. But that kind of delightful, unpremeditated spending always leaves the spender with an awful financial hang-over. Unless, of course, the spender has a good, kind, rich grandpa in the back ground who always comes forward with another big wad of dough. No one should be envious of anyone who has that kind of i;igrandpa nor be envious of anyone seeking that kind of grandpa whether in the form of parking meters, race tracks or ABC stores. But no one will deny that It is very foolish to depend on the continual generosity pf grandpa or to believe that he will always be rolling in dough. The town of Beaufort has taken just that attitude that it is foolish to depend on grandpa. And jt is just as well because 1 Beaufort doesn't have a grandpa shelling out two percent of a big income every night rain or shine. So what did Beaufort do? Beaufort sat down with pencil and paper and reckoned every item of necessary expenditure for the next twelve months. In the process Beaufort found that, in view of the possible SURE in come, certain "necessary" items of expenditure could well be ,vdone without. The job Beaufort did is generally known as bookkeeping. The doing required intelligence. Come next June 30, 1949, Beaufort will he in the black. It won't have any financial hangover and its taxpayers will have known what happened to every penny of their tax money. If you want to see exactly what Beaufort has done, besides u comply with a state law designed to protect taxpayers against spendthrifts, look at the itemized Beaufort budget on the right hand side of this page. Have Any Old Rags and Paper? During the second world war there were pleas for scrap Mr metal, waste fat (the government is still asking housewives to save it), and waste paper. Spurred by the urgency of winning the war, many citizens cooperated. On Sunday Morehead City Jaycees are conducting rag and scrap paper drive and they are hoping residents will resurrect some of that "we-'ve got to win the war" energy and bundle up old magazines, newspapers, and clothes that have pass ed "wearable days." 4 Trucks donated by the Whjiteway laundry pdB Clyde rjQjies Gas and Appliance company will start their tour around the town at 1:30 Sunday afternoon.' . The Jayce will sell the rags and paper to obtain money to carry on their civic betterment program. t They are merely asking for the money we ordinarily throw away so that they can make Morehead City a pleasanter place in Which to Jive.

THIRTY-FIVE YEARS APO Trucking possibilities in th county were boosted with the sal of the Hancock farm. R. P. Ed wards, new resident of the farm was to operate it and an extensive trucking business. The lead editorial suggested the town commissioners pass an ordi nance prohibiting men and boys boldly walking about town in the scant attire furnished by bathing suits. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO County farm agents of northeast ern and southeastern districts of North Carolina held a meeting in Beaufort. White Oak Township voted to issue $13,000 worth of bonds for the purpose of building a school house. The school was to be built on property known as the W. N. Russell place and would have six rooms and an auditorium. Ocean, Bogue and Rocky Run schools were to be closed, the new school at White Oak being consolidated. TEN YEARS AGO Board members of the State Con servation and Development depart ment visited Piver's Island and the new Duke University Marine laboratory. Dr. Herbert F. Prytherch, direc tor of U. S. Fisheries Biological station here, received the North Carolina Academy of Science gold medal for his research and paper en the Life-Cycle of a Sporozoan Parasite in the Oyster. FIVE YEARS AGO Ann Sf. Methodist church cele brated its l5th birthday on Sun day. M. Leslie Davis spoke at the evening service telling of Beaufort history. During the day $3,200 of the needed $4,000 for repairs to the church was pledged- LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To the Editor: In June, after becoming a victim to persuasion on the part of some ,qf the Harkers Island-Straits ball team to have Vida Lee Mason en ter for beauty queen, we entered her and, of course, won as we ex pected. But to our surprise and astonishment they who were sup posed to honor the winner evident ly fell asleep. They have never returned her photo, have not given her the pro mised crown, not one word have they kept as true to themselves or to their God. So their "ball playing" has be ome as sounding brass or a tink ling cymbal. Their actions we highly protest. We think it's a dirty deal. Alt the promises made to the winner have not been carried out ... We say that somebody has re turned to their bad tricks again.

The report observes: "There was a time, not so far distant, when it was safe to assume that most young young people came from homes where they received at least come Christian teaching. That is .now the exception rather than the jrm." Mrs. Julia Pake, Mrs. Gus Me den and two phildren and friend, Mrs. Frances Herkt. Mrs. William Willis and son visited Mrs. Har riet Pake at Marshallberg last Wednesday afternoon. . Mr. and Mrs. Richard Garvin and son. Jimmie and Mr. Garvin's brpther, Maurice, of Kinston, Ohio, arrived Saturday afternoon for a short vacation here with Mrs. Gar vin's mother, Mrs. Julia Pake. Mr. Bill Jordan, who works in Raleigh, spent the weekend here with his family. Mrs. Monroe Simpson and daugh ter, Julia, Mrs- Dallas Willis and Mrs. Frances Herkt shopped in New Bern Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Pake vi sited Mr. and Mrs. Earl Noe Sat urday night. Mrs. Baker Lupton and children, who spent the past two weeks here with Mrs. Sophia Lupton, left Fri day for her home at Suffolk, Va. Consensus around Raleigh last week was that there is now some chance for the Democrats to get back into power. Before Truman's lambast of -the Republicans, the Democrats felt mighty low. Now they are wondering if the big blows at the donkey will come from Dewey and Warren or from the deep South. Probably both. GETTING READY The Re publicans mean business even in North Carolina. On the eighth floor of the air-conditioned, beau tifully finished Insurance Building in Raleigh last week electricians and carpenters were putting finish ing touches on GOP headquarters. Rumors were flying that the Re publicans had plenty of money from "on high" and that they were out to make a killing. It is also reported that they have finan cial helo from sources which are roc so distant. Birthday Party for Miss Meden Last Tuesday afternoon a party was held at the home pf Mrs. Julia fake In honor of Miss Letltia Me den who was celebrating her sixth birthday. Guests at the party in cluded her cousins, Charles Joey and Reglna Pake, Jerry, Dallas, Jr. and Sheila Willis, Johnnie, Mi chael and Barbara Sue Simpson, Baker Lupton, Jr. and sisters, Sue and Martha, After playing games on the lawn the young folks were served refreshments consisting of homemado cake and ice cream.

Reds Rap Cinema MOSCOW (AP) A Jea4 editorial in the paper "Soviet Art" recently called on Russian writers to "liquidate backwardness in the field of cinema dramatics." This editorial demanded more and bet ter motion picture scenarios and stated that many of the Sovitft Union's best directors had been idle for some time for lack of good material for films. f The editorial cited the growing demand by the Soviet motion pic ture industry for scenarios in view of a rapid increase in the- number of films in. production.

' 1 ' S CIVIL RIGHTS North faro. lina was the only Southern State which did not vote solidly against Harry S. Truman at the Democra tic National Convention. Before, during, and following the conven tion you heard a lot of talk about civil rights, with the South kicking up its heels each time the issue was brought up. Not since the Civil War, really, has the South done such wholesale hell-raisinff over the race question ... or over any other question for that matter. Now you have heard about that terrible, terrible plank in the Democratic platform. . . . that plank which is causing such a riff in the Democratic Party. Have you read it? Here it is: "The Democratic Party is responsible for the great civil rights gains made in recent years in elimina ting unfair and illegal discrimina tion based on race, creed or color. The Democratic Party commits itself to continuing its efforts to eradicate all racial, religious and economic discrimination. "We again state our belief that racial and religious minorities must have the right to live, the right to work, the right to vote, the full and equal protection of the laws, on a basis of equality with all citizens as guaranteed by the constitution.
