? Carteret County News-Times A Merger Of At Beaufort New. (est. 1*12) * The Twia City Time* (est. 1*M) EDITORIAL PACE TUESDAY, SEPT. 13, IM Town and Conalry There has been much ado about Gov. Kerr Scott's criticism of the United Statea Chamber of Conunerce and its policy toward labor and agriculture. The governor said last week that hi; criticism was directed ' only to the Chamber's agriculture policy, but United States Cham ber of Commerce executives contend that he also took a crack at their stand on labor. ' This brought a letter from Herman W. Steinkrauf, president of the national body, to the Tar Heel governor, in which Steinkraus I told Scott that he regretted to see " . . . that you are warning organized labor against a business organization which hu a valu able part in creating better understanding among management of labor's rights and among labor, of management's problems." The governor's duel with the Chambei dates from a talk he made recently to the State Federation of Labor, Charlotte. He de , , clared then that the Chamber has opposed "every measure to help . the Southern farmer" and has stated since that time that his eriticism is confined only to that policy. On a national scale, Governor Scott may be right in condem ning the Chamber of Commerce's attitude toward the farmer. On the local level, we have nothing but admiration for the attitude the Beaufort ?nd Morehead City Chambers of Commerce have taken toward the farmer. Their attention has been directed maiuly toward getting him good roads, an objective we're sure the governor would approve. Dan Walker, manager of the Beaufort Chamber, has gone to great lengths to get action on the Merrlmon road problem; Bob lx>we, manager of the Morehead City Chamber, has made personal appeals to authorities to get work done on the road in the Mill Creek section. Our county Chambers of Commerce have always support ed the Farm Bureau. The Beaufort Chamber is almost solely res ponsible for recent accomplishments in the county's dairy and poultry industries. As long as our Chambers of Commerce continue in the way in which they are going there will be no divorcing of town and country in Carteret county. A harmony bom of cooperation and understanding will bring the prosperity that every farmer's organization and Chamber of Commerce seeks. Hardly a Thing oi Beauty Many of the cars traveling the highways are wrecks. Some ?f the cars not traveling the highway also fall into the flink cate gory. One in particular that we have in mind is parked on South Sixth st., Morebead City, and has been there the better part of a year. Around its several flat tires have blown straw, paper, and litter of all sorts. Not only is the car an eyesore, but a traffic basard. Two-way traffic is impossible. One car always has to stop un^l the otM^r passes that wreck. Mo re head City has permitted its' tfl be uaed for nu merous and varied purposes, but permitting a public thoroughfare to become a junkyard Is, to say the least, aggravating and dis gusting. ' For the Information of those in authority a description of the |j car and location follows: Dodge, about 1937 model, black weather ?>. beaten nondescript color, facing north on South Sixth St., bearing | IMS North Carolina license 692-628. Ifttlll for Help Comes '"'A Twllo epidemic emergency drive m under way throughout #? nation. Because Carteret county was so severely struck hy the disease teat summer and received unstinting aid fiosa state and natiopal headquarters, the county Infantile paralysis chapter feels that It cannot afford to let this emergency call go unheeded. Boy Scouts delivered, and will deliver today, envelope* in which contributions may be placed to aid other communities throughout the country which suffered epidemics this summer similar to ours laat summer. After placing a sum of money in the envelope, merely drop it at the post office. There may be some of us who, in this Instance, will pass down the other aide of the road. But It would be gratifying to prove that most of us in Carteret county are Good Samaritans. Thoughts for an open mind ... It enly people will applaud him, man may console himself for downright misfortune or for the pittance ha gets from human happiness. How astonishing to find the aame man deeply annoyed and pained if you injure hia feeling of self-import ance. It ia advisable to aet limita on thia weakness, and rightly estimate Um value and thus temper your susceptibility to other peoples' ?pinion. For In either case It ia the aame feeling that ia touched. Otherwise you become the alave to what people are pleased to say about you. A ruat spot in your Um will looae you the big Hah, a ruat spot in youraelf will leoee you your best friends. ?Jim Morrill THEY COM! BIGGER EViRY YIAR ^ this m y YEAR'S ENROLLMENT HERE and THERE With F. C. SALISBURY, Morehead City Westwaid Ho! So many readers of THE NEWS- i TIMES expressed themselves as j enjoying our "journey jottings" on a trip wr made last fall, the editor has aaked for "jottings" covering a trip we are making to the (west coast. Leaving Morehead City lata FK day afternoon, Sept, 2, we spent the night in Rocky Mount in order to reach Kichmond in time to catch our train for Chicago. Boarding the C. & O. "George Washington" we settled down in the Pullman for a ten hours ride to the "Windy City." Sunday afternoon found us in Chicago. Visiting friends and en joying a trip about the "Windy City" took up our time until 11 p.m. when we boarded the North Coast Limited of the Northern Pa cific railway for our trip to Yellow stone Park. Before leaving Chi cago wo >et our watches back one hour as we were in the central time tone. This trip to reach the Cody gat* of Yellowstone Park requires two nighu and the best part of two days. North Carolina has its cotton and tobacco but when it comes to corn, you will have to take your hat off to Indiana. As we made the run from Cincinnati to Chicago the farms along the route were one vast acreage of corn, extend ing as iar as the ey* can aee. Early Monday morning as we raise the curtain of our section we (iad the train roiling along the shore of "01' Man Kivar" which we have been following for some 300 miles after leaving Savanna, Illinois to St. Paul. Breakfast time finds us coming into St. Paul and a few minutas more and we are at Minneapolis. Called the Twin Ci ties of the Wast, they are the gat* ways to the northwest and the lake regions of Minnesota. From this point on it ia "West ward Ho" through a dairy and live stock ranching country. Before reaching the North Dakota border, we pass through one of the lake sections of the state. Viewed from th$ train It is said that one can see 412 lakes within q.ron Qf 29 fi\UCs. Further on we enter the Red River valley which extends over into North Dakota. _ Thia valley is said to be the "Breadiusket of the Nation," so called for it's horizon-wide wheat fields. Just before crossing the Red River into North Dakota we pass through the city of Moore head. This gives us a feeling of nostalgia and a wish that our read1 ers at home in Morehead City, N. C., might be enjoying this trip. The sun is going down beyond th? distant mountains as we come into Bismark. Five miles beyond we croas the Missouri river at Man dan where we aet our watchea back another hour to mountain time. Daylight has faded when we reach the Dakota Bad Lands about 100 miles west of Maodan. Thanks to a full moon and the clear western air one can get a remarkable view of theee Lands whore water and wind have produced many weird ahapea, in places brilliantly color ed by burnt-out lignite fires. Thia region is now officially de signated Theodore Roosevelt Me morial Park. To the south of Man dan on a high bluff one may see the buildings of old Fort Abraham Lincoln from which General Cus ter began his ill-fated campaign against the Sioux. Off to the south of the Bad Landa are the Black Hills of the Dahotas. Within this region are many historic spots. Chief among them ia the Mount Rusbtnore Me morial, entitled "The Shrine ot And You Get ? Spare Time Training at Home With Regular Army Equipment ? Extra Money at Regular Army lua of Pay ? Credit Toward Retirement Pay at No Coat to You ? Promotions aa You Learn Skills Aiding You in Your Civilian Job I SflORCAU Wry. ft. HM .FA Ota*. N6 Arm err, 15* Democracy." Here heroic sculp- [ tures of four great American pre- j sidents ? George Washington, Tho- j mas Jefferson, Abraham Lincol?) and Theodore Roosevelt ? have been blasted out of the imperish able granite of Mount Rushmore. The colossal sculptures represent years of work by the late Gutzon Borglum and an army of assistants. Who has not heard of Deadwood, that wild mining camp opened in the days of "76? Here Wild Bill Hickok with 36 notches in his gun took on all comers until one Jack McCall laid him low. Calamity Jane, the Lady Wildcat, found tur bulent Deadwood to her liking and along with other characters of those days lie buried on Boot Hill. Deadwood is now the largest gold prcducir.g section in the United States. Tuesday morning finals ^ at Billing*, Montana, w^tr^ipur /ull marl is switched to tne Burlington lino for the run to Cody, Wyoming. A short distance from this city I* the Custer battleftoid. Iter* II waa in 1876 whan Genual Castor and his 64 men tried to autaaiaft that aid Sioux chief. Red Cloud, Cutter and his 264 men were flavightered to a man. The battlefield i* Barb ed with ? wall marble monument where each man fell, while in a nearby National Cemetery the re mains of thai* men are buried. Aa we come into Cody we are reminded of another character who played an important part In the settlement and wild life of the went, William F. Cody, bettor known as "Buffalo Bill. Cody es tablished the town that bean his name where he at one time con ducted a military school. He was an American guide, scout and showman He earned the name of "Buffalo Bill" by furnishing buffalo meat to the laborers build ing the Kansas Pacific railroad. Instead of being buried at the town he established, his remains rest on the top of Lookout Moun tain a short distance out of Den ver. Here at Cody is the Gertrude Vandervilt Whitney's large bronze statue ol Buffalo Bill showing him astride his horse with gun held aloft as if to challenge the men of frontier uays to follow him. The statue is a beautiful piece of bronze work mounted on an immense base of granite. Close by is the Buffalo Bill Museum which contains s great collection of the frontiers man's irophies and mementos. We selected the entrance to Yellowstone Park by the Cody gate ! in order to get the 80 mile bus ride through the Buffalo Bill country and the heart of the Shoshone Na tional Forest. No highway crosses the Cody road in all the 80 miles from Cody to Yellowstone Lake. Along the way, through this mighty segment of the Continental Divide, one gets glorious vistas of peaks and valleys. For six miles along Buffalo Bill dam the road runs along a shelf cut out of sheer rock wall of Rattlesnake mountain. As we near the end of the 80 mile trip and enter the boundaries of Yellowstone Park the road winds up the slope of the Absaroka Range, through Sylvan Pass and down the other side by means of an amazing series of curves and twists, considered one of the en gineering triumphs of the age. It took forty years of blasting, cut ting and grading to complete this section of the Cody road This is rn ride for a person that does not enjoy mountain roads. As we come down from the Pass and approach Yellowstone Lake we can see for miles to the west ward where the mountains of the continental divide stand out in their rugged grandure, wooded and snowcapped. After a short 'stop at the like ^e continued on to the Grand Canyon of the Yel lowstone from where we will start BRA DENTON, Mm.-L (AP> ? | William L. Aldridge, Sr., retired I Dunn, N.

The holders are fastened to the beat and the container can be slipped in and out in a jiffy.

A scoop in the bottom picks up sufficient water to keep the bait alive. on Wednesday morning f or a two days' trip through the wonders of the Park.
