SuSaomao QUIET TISI JOHNSON HAS DfVElOKD !M WOMB'S FIRST tiALLY OUin OUTBOARD MOTORIi Jerry Schumacher Shrimp T rawler Hauls In Golf Ball off Lookout Ted Garner says these golfers really get around. One of Albert Lea's shrimp trawlers came up with a golf ball in a shrimp net eight miles off Cape Lookout; must have been one of Robert Seamon's slices. Went to Manteo to photo graph the "Lost Colony" Pa geant and as soon as I got back everyone wanted to know, "How is Aycock Brown?" "How does he look?" so I said, "Looks good! Sort of like maybe he gained a pound." So Penny came back with, "On him a pound would show, bless his heart.'' Many stories have been told about this fabulous charfccter but the two that tickle me the most are, first; Aycock Brown's Harricane. It seems that when we used to have a hurricane, the first thing that would go down would be the com munications, so Aycock figured he would write the story ahead of time so that it would be sure to go out: this he did. However, mother nature played a dirty trick on him. The hurri cane missed this area, so the next morning the papers carried report er Brown's hurricane story, "More head City and Beaufort demolish ed, etc." Actually nothing happen ed here so this has been known forever after as "Brown's Hurri cane." Next time, he was driving a lit tle too fast and missed a turn in the raal and he and hit car land in the cockpit a I a shrimp traw ler. No one bat Aycock Brown could have accomplished this one. Remember in the dead of the winter with a howling northeaster blowing when you put on every rag of clothing that you own, and' still freeze? That's when we thought longingly about the won derful summer time that Is here now, crowds on the waterfront, beautiful glamour gals in scanty bathing suits, activity galore, char ter boats with an appreciative au dience gawking at the tremendous fash catches. What a great town we live la; probably the most picturesque fishing village left la this coua try. If only the rest of the (JSA knew about us I'm sure that they would flock here by the thousands. Atlantic Beach is getting to be quite a convention center. Last week Archie Davis and all hii ar chitects, this week A. H. James and the Superior Court Clerks of N. C. Sure wish we had a hotel big enough for some really big conventions. Micky Woolard, an Atlantic. Beach lifeguard, was swimming in the surf during his time off Wed nesday, when he saw a big sea tur tle; so he swam out to it and grabbed it by the stem, then all he had to do was steer this monster and he got a fine ride to the beach where the turtle was de posited for all to see. About 190 pounds of good turtle meat, 1 would guess. Heard In Morehead City drug store: Lady called and asked If aay oae found a potted ptaat that she had left there. So the asaa be hind the cigar counter said, "Bare enough, lady, Wre It la right on the counter." 8* the lady aald, "Would ya? please water It for aw tonight, I will pick it up tomorrow." It's a good thing she didn't leaw twins. r (NTKM.Y MWI MMT IHMUHn mM inmini C"? to mm4 m ? Barbour Marino Supply Co. n?M uni til Frast St Bcaatart, N. C.
