fist field was properly operated. Under this agreement it would
m as though the commission should have provided for proper
e of equipment supplementary to the airport itself.
Seldom, if ever, has the airport commission come voluntarily
;4'Mfore the county commissioners to give a report on what it hrs
been doing or what it hopes to do. (At one time last spring, we
ord that the grass was mowed there.)
Perhaps the airport commission has been given no money to
Wrk with, yet there is supposed to be a certain amount of income
jjjijpm the airport and at least apportion of this should bo spent for
bwintenance.
fjL" An airport worth hundreds of thousands of dollars was hand
1$. to the county on a silver platter. It's understatement to say
u mighty short-sighted of us to sit by and watch it go to pot.

Thoughts for an open mind...
There appears to exist a greater desire to live long than to live
C well.
The force of sincere thought is mighty. When the many take up
5' sincere thinking, their combined strength, coupled with gen-
uinc purpose and faith, coujd bring about any, desired change.
If you are doing good work, do not worry; somebody will find it
out.
Analyze your present environment. Do not move out of it, try
and improve it.
'Mean something helpful to everyone with whom life relates you,
and learn something from everyone.

Carry the good of yesterday into today. Work happily and be
ready to welcome the good of tomorrow.

With F. C. SALISBURY, Morehead City
Hepair wxrk being done to some
of the ceilings ot the casemates at
Fort Macon, has brought to light
interesting construction of the
root's of these caseinstes.
After the arched ceiling of each
casement was completed .ir invert
ed V-shape covering of .shi.it lead
was placed over the brickwork.
The edges of each lead roofing was
joined to a lead gutter which was
connected with a drain pipe lead
ing to on, of the several cisterns
within the fort.
Rain water filtering down thru
the top soil and sand would run
down the slanting lead cappings
into the putters from there to the
cisterns from which the fort ob
tained its drinking water.
After a period of over 100 years,
leaks have occurred in several of
the casements. Several feet of (od
and sand have been removed in
order to reach the lead coverings
and gutters for repairing.
Future projects about this at
tractive historical spot call for the
deepening of the moat and the con
struction of a draw bridge to the
main entrance of the original design.

over the water to the property on

The structure will be of metal con
struction throughout and of suf
ficient size to take care of the in
creasing business of this concern.
