| Carfare! Conily ftfeto-flattt A Merger of The Beaufort Newt (est. l?lt> * The Twin City Time* (eat. ltU) EDITORIAL PAGE TVE8DAV, JANUARY J, 1M* Can 1950 Bring All Ttis? We would like to see the Nlsw Year bring? To Carteret county 1. Clear telephone lines, the kind not addicted to garbling in a heavy dew, the kind in which several conversations cannot be heard at one time, the kin<* that transmit, through ingen ious devices known only to telephone men, the pari' called when the correct number Is dialed 2. Increased production of chickens and turkeys, raised for sale on local markets 3. Improved pasturelands followed by larger dairy herds 4. Better sanitation practices everywhere, especially in rural homes 5. The type of bus Service rendered by a company that has to adhere to schedules and operate efficiently lest its competi tors wean away all its business, rather than the service of fered by a company that feels secure in operating in any manner because it is the ONLY one To Beaufort 1. Improved waterfront facilities for the servicing of yachts and other types of pleasurecraft 2. One way street south on Queen from Ann to Front to avoid congestion at the bus station. No parking is allowed at pres ent on the east side of this street, therefore making it one way south should not raise a new parking problem 3. Increased support, financially and otherwise, but mostly fi nancially to the Chamber of Commerce (this goes for More head City too) 4. Settlement of the fire truck driver issue 5. Deepening of the Taylor creek channel 6. A new town commissioner to replace Orville Gaskill who re signed To Morehead City 1. Construction of the new port facilities 2. Uncomplicated operation of the taxi companies 3. Better intra-eity bus service, with the town receiving its due share of the revenue 4. Removal of the grey shack just south of the municipal build ing 5. Expert, satisfactory-to all-parties-concerned handling of union and labor issues Time without human effort cannot see any of the above par tially accomplished. How willing are we to hew out our own destinies? Thoughts for an open mind... Wisdom is the fruit of balanced development. When asked to join an organfcafHfti.'tftettliing stressed Is the ma terial advantages, never it's spiritual or aesthetic values. You might as well try and organize the weather as, hope, love and faith. Ways of thinking and feeling are as elusive as mist. The cultural ideal of any age i< revealed in the type of man for whom the people have the greatest reverence. ?J. R. Morrill. Sou'easter By Captain Henry Despite the fact that there is a rift in the lire department, the boys did a good job in putting out the fire aboard the J. Earle Mor ris Saturday night. We have one of the best if not THE best-equip ped fire department in eastern North Carolina. It would be a pity if dissension in the ranks made It one of the most ineffi cient. Ottis Jefferson (big Ottis, that ia) was making merry with a rub ber miniature replica of the Sta tue of Liberty Saturday nigtit at the BR club. By the end of the evening nobody believed It waa Miss Liberty at all, but the foun tain of youth. Napoleon may have had his Wat erloo. But Carolina Went him one better. They had Notre Dame AND Rice. Money may not be the root of all evil, but it's the root of a good part of it ? at least the love of money is. I couldn't help but won der at the drama ? viciousness, greed, schpmi r ' and heartache ? that went into the fight over the $30 million Garrett snuff fortune which Uncle Sam took over last month because Mrs. Garrett, a widow, left no will. Since that womsn'a death in 1030, 25,990 claims were laid to her fortune. So bitter was the struggle to gain possession of the money that three persons were slain in quarrels over it, ten went to jail for perjury and other crimes committed to support their claims, a dozen claimants were fined, six others died while await ing court hearings and two killed themselves in frustration. Claimants came from 29 differ ent countries. The scramble for the fortune involved thousands of attorneys In a legal mess that be came more and more complicated ral: don't die, or if you do, leave a will, even if it says no more than "I bequeath all my earthly possessions which amount to nuttin' to nobody." (And even then I bet the government figures a way to get an Inheritance tax out of it). Vick (B. C. Vickery) is mad at the town tor putting "no parking" signs along Live Oak street. HoMen's restaurant has a new floor, new window shades, and newly-painted walls to start in the new year and there's word that new tables and chairs are on the wiy. With 1490 we've reached the halfway mark, everyone says. I'd like to know exactly, the halfway mark of what ? ? le month.
