In international politics. when two neighboring nations find
it difficult to live side by side, the powers involved have fre
quently found it expedient and helpful to set up a buffer state.
Beaufort and Morehead City's disagreements have never gone
beyflnd verbal blasting, but Ungues can be more damaging than
arms, Drawing a parallel on our pToblems and international
disputes, that hi the causeway we hav? a buffer state.
have a bnffer state.
Idealistic as we would like to be. only practical solutions
have the possibility of succeeding. Although we would like to
think that Beaufort and Morehead City could live smack up
against each other, that, actually, only holds seeds for future
argument that could flower into more impossible situations than
the present one..
For that reason, we suggest that the causeway remain
neutral. There will be problems on it in the tuture. but to prevent
any repetition of the recent occurrence, a causeway commission
should be formed consisting of a member of the Beaufort board
of commissioners, a member of the Morehead City board of com
missioners. and two residents of the causeway.
This commission should function, following a set of regu
lations approved by both town boards and causeway resident?
It may be possible to make the chairmanship of the commission
rotate, one year the commissioner from Beaufort would be
chairman, the next year the commissioner from Morehead City
and the next, one of the causeway residents. flr, it may work
to better advantage to have the group of four elect ONE of the
two causeway members chairman, with the rules by which the
commission operates stipulating that a causeway resident shall
always hold the chairman's position.
Without a doubt, this commission would have little business
to transact. It could meet four times a year and at the call of
the chairman.
Members of the commission from each of the towns could
be appointed by the mayor in the same manner as the mayor
appoints chairmen of the sanitation committee, financial commit
tee etc. Residents of the causeway could elect their two repre
sentatives at a public meeting.
It is probable, and we sincerely hope, that the commissioners
of Beaufort and Morehead City will meet together this week.
The above suggestion may not be the best solution to the
problem, but wc feel that at the present time neither town should
annex the causeway, Pivw's Island or Tiilet IdhuiU
In the next several years .itjnfty.Jfp necessary that such an
annexation take place, but if that problem arises, the machinery
will have been set up to deal with it, we will have a better idea
of how this port will develop, and we will be able to consider
the whole thing more calmly.
What ill* Public Thinks
The recent newspaper strike in the nation's capital occasioned
editorial comment in the Washington Post. The Raleigh, News
and Observer, impressed with the observations, reprinted that
editorial last Monday.
W c reprint here the News and Observer's comment. Both
editorials serve to point up what few outside the business of com
munications feel that it is necessary to take time to consider.
AN of the newspapers in Washington. D. C., recently suspend
ed publication for three days because of a pressmen's Arflce.
After the strike was over, The Washington Post made the fol
lowing report on what It had been hearing from its readers:
The strike appears to have demonstrated at least one thing,
and that is that, whatever Its virtues, the radio is not an entirely
satisfactory substitute for newspapers. That,, at any rate, is
what we are being told by many of our readers, and we are satis
fied they have not taken the troable to tail us so merely to console
us. In this connection they make two points which seem to us both
interesting and encouraging.
First, they aay, the radio permits little or no liberty of selec
tion. The breadeaster ar commentator makes Ms -own selection
of topics and one is obliged either to listen patiently to whatever
he chooses to talk about or to do without aews entirely. In a
newspaper, however, one may skip art r an Item that appears to
hotd no particular Interest and proceed to fhe next. Or one may
akip the news entirely and proceed to the comic strips, or the
(parts pages, or (he classified advertisement*, or whatever it Is
that seems to matter.
Second, the readers tell us, editorial opinions aired toy radio
are likely to fill the listener with a sense of frustration. If one
disagrees violently with a newspaper editorial, one eaa work off
some ?( Ms indignation by writing a tatter to the oditor, and the
chances are at least even that the letter will be published. Of
coarse one can also write a letter to a radio news commenstor,
and the chances are better than even that H will fee gratefully

Thoughts for an open mind ...
The face of every ^person (except the feeble minded) is a relief
map on which is sculptured all the thoughts you have enter
tained up to now.
Some people are like milk, sweet to begiif with, but sour with age.
To date, you are what you inherited, plus environmental in
fluences, plus what you have done with both.
Constructive thinking will make for constructive being.
Most people do not think, they re-arrange their prejudices.
Webster .says, prejudice is forming an opinion without just
grounds or before sufficient knowledge. Ever list your opi
nions and check? It's good mental exercise, and might change
your outlook.

After having served the public
for over 30 years in the retail
grocery, C. H. Freeman of More
head City has sold his entire busi
ness to Goldsboro parties. The new
owners have taken charge with
the management under the direc
tion of J. C. HarveH.
The business has operated under
the name of Freeman Brothers
since it started during the early
days of World War I. The firm
consisted of C. H. and W. P. Free
man. Some 15 years ago W. P.
Freeman withdrew from the firm
and established the W. P. Free
man Wholesale Groceries.
Both former owners received
theiT early training in the mer
chantile business as clerks in the
general store of R. T. Willis. Tak
ing advantage of the business op
portunities during the w^r days,
they rented the store space in the
building which has housed the
business during the past years.
Later the property was purchased
by the firm. During the past three
decades the concern established a
reputation of efficient service
covering * wide Geld of patrons.
The retiring owner has made no
announcements as to his future
activities.

This is a new law i?st put in
effect. No license will be issued
unless ttfe application is accom
panied by a certificate signed by
a patrolman showing that the
vehicle has been inspected and
found to be in good running
condition.
Ocean waves and jumping fish
greet the eyes as one looks at the
new neon sign which runs around
the cornice of the marquee of the
new Sanitary Restaurant building.
It would look as if this popular
eating place was all set for the
coming season. We might suggest
a doorman dressed as a seafaring
man or a yacht captain.
Thursday morning saw the open - !
ing of a new firm in More head
City under the name of Freeman '
& Nelson, succeeding the grocery |
firm of L & W located in the j

Earl A. Freeman, former head
clerk of Freeman Brothers and
Eldon Nelson who for many years
headed the meat department of
that store' and who for the past
year was with ihe Stroud's Food
Center are the members of this
new concern.
Both young men have had a
wide range of experience in serv
ing tfhe public. Also many friends
in the city who extend their best
w^hes for their success. The L.
& W. firm started business about
three years ago, members of the
firi^being Luther Lewis and Jerry
Willis* ? Mr. Lewis withdrew from
the firm a year ago and since that
time Mr. Willis has operated the
business.
