Carteret County News-Times A Merger Of The Beaufort News (mL 1?12) * The Twin City Time* (e?t. 1?M) * EDITORIAL PACE TUESDAY, JULY 26, 184B f I ; 1 " On Gambling and Guzzling . . . All forms of illegal gambling were brought to an abrupt end ? in Carteret county a week ago Sunday. in Illegal gambling mushrooms in all Carolina coastal resorts dur " ing summer months and conditions here paralleled those to be n found at other beaches until the recent closure. ii Each summer upstate newspapers pick one or another local ity against which to editorialize. Last summer it was the Wrights ville Beach area i'or the most part, with Carteret county coining in for one incompetently prepared jumble of insinuations written by a News and Observer reporter. These editorials or articles fail to point up or disclose anything THE NEWS-TIMES and The Beaufort Ne>vs before it has not told readers. A recent "expose" describes the selling of beer to minors at Atlantic Beach. We might ask at this point why an inspector from the state malt and beverage division visited only one beer selling concession on the beach and took its license, but steered clear of the other concessions where beer "blue laws" are consis tently violated. . . But evidently editorials and newsstorits serve only to make in teresting reading and that s as far as it goes. law Yew Baal ? But Gently Coast Guardsmen will race in surtboats for the Josephus Daniels Memorial trophy at Morohead City Aug. 4. This is known as the annual surfboat race. But anybody who thinks the race is going to be in the surf is just plain "out of order." It seems perfectly logical to us that it should be in the surf but evidently it's illogical to Coast Guard officials and the men who have planned events. We have heard all this hoop-de-dah about the man with an oar in his hand, the man who struggles against the surf, the tro phy which memorializes all Coast Guardsmen who have battled breakers to save the lives of those in peril on the sea, but now what do they do? They schedule the surfboat race in the coming Coast Guard Day celebration for inland waters, somewhere around Port Terminal. The Fort Macon boys say this had to be done to give the other competing crews a break. Fort Macon Coast Guardsmen came in so far ahead of other crews in last year's race in the surf that people In boats are afraid to bo wrecked near any coast guard station except Fort Macon. If this celebrationis just a show for the public, then the surf boat race should be held in calm inland waters (and thereby become a farce). But if it's to be a true sportsman's contest be tween men that are really men. let's take it to the surf and maintain it in the spirit and tradition that we believe Josephus ' Daniels would like it to be maintained. ) Evtry Skrnb Has a Proper Place ^ Will it take a fatal, accident to get same real action from Worebead City commissioners on the numerous blind corners which plague the motorist in forehead City? At numerous intersections, such as the one at the north corner of 20th and Evans streets, a driver must use a periscope, a seventh sense, or radar if he is to see a car coining along Evans street, before he pulls out into the inter section. Unfortunately, most motorists have no special equipment to reveal to them an on coming car which is screened from vietv by a curtain of ihrubs. On several occasions, the "blind corner" situation has been brought to the attention of the Morehead City commissioners. They have responded to complaints, but weakly, by ordering that the trees be trimAcd. An occasional trimming is not the real solution to the problem. The trees must either be removed, or they must be trimmed, and kept trimmed, in such fashion as will permit complete visibility. . So far, Morehead City has been lucky; its blind spots have cost it nothing more than a few complaints. The town may not always be so fortunate. In the event of an accident occurring as a result of one of the blind corners Morehead City could be held liable for damages. Is not a human life, or a damage suit, too high a price to pay (or the retention of shrubs that have doubtful value as town fceautifiers? Sou'easter s By Captain H?nry i Fiction flies faster than fact, i Rumors had the town jumping last week and all of them had as 9?ucb foundation as one of those white clouds I see floatin' by my window. For one, everybody swore up and down on Thursday that John Noe had confessed to the assault I upon his wife. It wasn't so. Secondly, Kit Jones, young son of Mr- and Mrs. Crip Jones, was reported to have had his leg brok mi in a bike-truck accident. It fraen't so. The youngster was scratched up a bit from coming tlose to being hit by a truck. It seems as though the rule that's followed is: hear a whiff of something, fill in the gaps with what probably happened, repeat it and say you know it's so, and, brethern, and sistern, you'll be putting writers of novels out of business. I read the other day about that fellow who bred chickens without wings. Next they'll hav* eggs without shells. What do you <ta with the shell anyway except throw it away? .

HHVMH -j f STABILIZED hearing the news, "Th' Mispil lion's burning!" thought the in former said, "Miss Peelin's burn i ing." As a matter 91 fact, when I stopped by the newspaper office the other day, Miss Peeling said she was informed of the fire over i the phone by Lorraine Willis, and she thought Miss Willis shouted "Miss Peelin's burning!" The editor got rather annoyed, because she was quite sure she wasn't on fire, and said, "WHO'S burning?" and finally learned that it was the boat. I read of a woman who was on fire the other day. The match used for lighting her cigarette caught a plume on her hat, and there she sat spouting flame from her top like a volcano. Shouts of "That woman's on fire!", brought help to the scene. But, if I don't miss my guess, she's going to go out and buy another hat? with a bigger plume. . * The little fellows who play, ball in the Beaufort recreation pro gram are thrilled with their equip ment. Especially the catcher's outfit. I was watching them the other morning and almost swal lowed mv upper plate laughing. The catchers about 8 years old, insisted on wearing the shin guards, chest protector and mask, plus glove of course. He was so encumbered that he spent most of his time yelling to other kids; "Hey, git me that ball!" Smile a While Sins of Omission A bit tipsy when he appeared at orchestra rehearsal, the flute player chose to omit a few meas ures in a difficult number which required some rapid finger ma nipulation. The leader rapped with his baton, looked caustically at the offender, and said: "Sam, you just skipped a few bars ? something you'd never think of doing on your way to rehearsal." Americans are credited with in venting iced tea. HERE and THERE With F. C. SALISBURY. Mori-head City G. E. "Gibbie" Sanderson who for the past two years has been , conducting the Morehead City Building Supply Company in the 2400 block on Bridges Street, has purchased the stock and goodwill of the building supplies of the Hardware & Building Supplies Corporation at their warehouse on tHR^, highway west of hte city lim its. V The transaction tfltth'not in> clujU the warehouse or real es tate. Mr. Sanderson took pos session last week and has moved his stock from his former loca tion to the new place of business. Mr. Sanderson states that with added storage facilities he expects to increase his stock to meet the many demands of the building trade. Members of the 449tH Field Artillery Observation Battalion with headquarters in Morehead City are expected to attend the annual traininf period of this organisation to be held at Fort Johnson, South Carolina, for two week* starting August 10. Much interest has been shown in this organisation that was formed the early part of this year by former service men as well as those with no service record. The June number of The' Na tional Geographic Magazine con tains a. most interesting article covering^the menhaden fishing^ in duatry in this section of the state. The story is by Leonard C. Roy, one of the staff writers of the Geographic. Several fine illus trations are tied in with the art icle. First hand information was obtained by the writer from the menhaden boat "Mace" under the command of Captain Brady Wade with Harold Taylor as pilot. The heading of the story reads "Men haden-Uncle Sma's Top Commer cial Fish." Both Morheead City t?nd ftetu&irt sfcait of >TOiblic?ty in co|fci?cti?n with I this industry.

Out of town persons might be excused for not knowing about the ordinance, but there seems to be no excuse for lpcal persons who must have known that such an ordinance was passed. History does not tell us why St. Swithin is responsible for 40 days of rain when rain falls on June 15. This is one of the old beliefs that has come down through the a geq for St. Swithin was bishop of Winchester from 852 to 862, a long, long time ago. ; He is said to have been a builder of bridges and churches. He shares honors at tnis time of the season with the dog star, Sirius said to be responsible for dog days. Plans for construction in More head City area of major grain storage facilities, designed prin cipally to handle Eastern North Carolina's unusually heavy grain crop, were proposed at a meeting held last week in Washington, N. C., by two state agricultural de partment officials. The proposed construction would consist of two I grain storage facilities, capable of I handling several million bushelsl during the course of a harvesting j and shipping season. Mrs. Katie White Morton, 65, sister of Mr*. D. H. Rowe of Morehead City died last Wed nesday at Duke hospital. Fun eral services and burial took place in New Bern where the de ceased had resided for several years. She was born in Onslow county the daughter of the late John C. and Mollie White. The Civil Aeronautics Admin istration has notified North Caro line congressmen that the govern ment proposes to allocate more than $143,000 during the present! fiscal y?ar to improve the five J airports in North Carolina. The j Beaufort-Morehead City airport is scheduled to get $12,000, half of which will come from the gov eminent, for construction o f buildings. Stockholders of the Atlantic and ; North Carolina Railroad Company will hold the annual meeting oi j this company at the Atlantic | Beach hotel on Monday, August j 5. There are prospects of this ; line having some 25 miles of f tracks added to its system if the i government sees fit to authorize the building of a spur rail line I from Cherry Point to Camp Le- 1 june. It is claimed that such a ; line between these two bases j would save 90 miles of travel i and eigkt <tyjur* of travel tjimej besides raueilfcg 4 he navy's frei-l ght bill by about 20 per cent. Purchase of Fort Caswell by the North Carolina Baptist Con vention will give this state or ganization one of the finest rec reationaj site* in the U n i 1 1 d States. The government has ac cepted the offer of the Conven tion of $86,000 for tip property. It is stated that the Baptists will I use the fort and its facilities as u Hummer recreation site, and will etablish a school for ministers and lay workers where refresher courses will be taught. Fort Cas well faces the ocean on a point of land opposite Southport. Built on top of one of the ramparts of the old fort is a swimming pool of warm water supplied from a natural thermal spring within the fort. A certificate of mcorpatloa ' has been granted to the Cherry Point Veterans Mutual Heus ??l association at Hayelock.
