RotarpTells
Of Abe Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln was the sub
ject of a talk by E. W. Downum
at the Beaufort Rotary Club meet
ing Tuesday night at the Inlet Ion.
Mr. Downum commented on Lin
coln's story-telling ability. The
President used stories to relieve
tension and to avoid answering
questions, the speaker said.
He told some of the President's
favorite stories. Among them was
the following: A new-paper re
porter was speaking to the Presi
dent during the War Between the
States when a messenger came in
and announced that the Union
forces had captured 12,000 Con
federates.
President Lincoln turned to the
reporter and said. "You know, he's
the biggest liar in Washington. He's
quite a fisherman, and he told
[such whopping stories that finally
his friends bought a scales so that
he could weigh the fish and be
able to report accurately their size.
"Well, one day, one qf his neigh
bors had a newborn baby in the
house and they had no scales on
which tp weigh it. So they borrow
ed the fisherman's scales and the
baby weighed 47 pounds!"
Guests at the meeting were W.
J. Blair, W. C. Matthews, H. Earle
Mobley and Robert Howard, More
head City Rotarians.

commencement sermons on a Sun
day morning at 11 o'clock. The

The County Board of Education
directed that the following resolu
tion be forwerded to the ministers
association, principals and school
committeemen:
Whereas, the baccalaureate ser
mon is one of the highlights in the
life of the seniors of our high
schools, and
Whereas, the schools of Carteret
County have attempted in every
way during the school year to so
arrange their programs as to en
courage the youth programs of the
churches, and
Whereas, it has not been the pol
icy of the schools to interfere
with the churches nor ask them to
change their programs to accom
modate those of the schools, yet
have on many occasions excused
pupils to attend youth ra lies and
youth programs that took them out
of the school, which loss of class
time had to be made up by the
teachers, and
Whereas, many parents have to
come from considerable distance
and feel that a naming service is
much more conducive to safety to
themselves and families, and to
the ability to obtain transporta
tion to attend, and
Whereas, the Board feels that
the Ministerial Association is mak
ing an unjust rcqu?t . in ssking
the schools to change their long
accustomed plans of Commence

the Board of Education of Carttret
County recommends that all I bi >c

News-Times to Publish
State Fishing Edition
A FIRST in North Carolina pub- 1
I idling history will bo scored by
THE NEWS TIMES Oct II when
:in illustrated issue covering the '
vibrant, bustling commercial fish
ing industry of the entire state will |
be published.
"It is probable that this issue |
will be not only a first in North j
Carolina publishing history but a
first in newspaper publishing any
where in the United States," Lock
wood Phillips, publisher, said yes
terday.
THE NEWS-TIMES, in prior
years, has published special com
mercial fishing issues, but they
w?re concerned only with commer
cial fishing in Carteret County.
One of those issues was awarded
fourth prize by the National Edi
torial Association in the 1950 na
tion-wide special issue competition.
Impressed by the quality of past
NEWS-TIMES special fishing is
sues covering only Carteret County,
the North Carolina Fisheries Asso
ciation suggested that the Carteret
newspaper undertake statewide cov
erage of the commercial fishing in
dustry in the forthcoming publica
tion.
Work on the issue was begun in
June. One reporter was assigned
exclusively to cover commercial
fishing up and down the coast from
Southport to Elizabeth City, from
the outer banks to the fur'hermost
reaches of the rivers whose indenta
tions lengthen North Carolina's
eoast by hundreds of miles. Pho
toguphers too were assigned to
cover various sections of the coast.
Articles by the nation's top ma
rine scientists, and specialists in
the many phases of the commercial
fishing industry, will appear. Other
stories and pictures tell about the
men themselves who go out in boats
to capture the delicious seafood in
North Carolina waters.
Thousands of extra copies of this
issue have been allocated by the
North Carolina Fisheries Associa
tion to be sent to registered boat
owners in both North and South
Carolina, to officers and directors
of Women's Clubs throughout
North Carolina, to state and na
tional political figures and to hun
dreds of others who have either
a direct interest in commercial
fishing or are leaders in consumer
food markets.
Regular NEWS TIMES subscrib
ers will receive their copy at no
extra cost through the mails or
from their carrier boy. Newsstand
price in Carteret County will be, as
usual, 10 cents per copy. THE
NEWS-TIMES will wrap and send
"mail away" copies at 25 cents per
copy. Orders for these will be ac
cepted as long as copies are avail
able. ?
School Age Fair-Goers Must
Spend Usual Time at Books
When contactcd this week rela-*
tive to a holiday for school chil
dren to attend the fair sponsored
by the Beaufort American Legion 1
post, H. L. Joslyn, county superin
tendent If schools, called atten
tion to the school calendar adopt
ed by the County Board of Edu
cation in January.
No holiday has been set up for
children to attend the Legion fair.
The resolution, passed Jan. 3, 1955,
stated, "No holiday will be grant
ica ior future county fairs unless
I luthorized by the State Dcpart
' nent of Public Instruction."
Mr. Joslyn said the board took
the action following many pro
tests, by letter and phone, from
parents after the last county fair.
Because of the games and shows
featured at the fair, parents said
they did not approve of children
being excused from school so that c
they could attend.

Fiaht Water Company's Rate Raise
Beaufort's town attorney, Gene
Smith, was directed by the town
commissioners Monday night to
contact Morehead City and Snow
Hill relative to joining forcci to
protest the proposed water rate
raise.
Mr. Smith suggested that a rate
expert be employed and the cost
of presenting the towns' case be
fore the State Utilities Commission
be apportioned among the towns.
Beaufort, Morehead City and
Snow Hill are served by the Caro
lina Water Co. which recently re
quested permission to double water
rates.
Relative to sale of waterfront
lots, the board decided on a mini
mum price of $7.8# per front foot.
Further action upon aale of such
property was deferred until the
attorney can check on whether law
requires that the waterfront lots
be sold only to holders of riparian
rights.
Lights Ordered
Three stop lights, containing sn
amber signal, were ordered. Cost
will be *442.77. The lights will re
place those now being used in

Beaufort's New
Parking Policy
Goes into Effect
Beaufort's new "be kind to shop
pers" policy went into effect Tues
day after the town board gave its
approval at a meeting at the town
hall Monday night.
The plan provides for the police
men putting a nickel in the park
ing meter where a person has
parked overtime. Then the motor
ist is requested to replace the
nickel by putting the coin in an
envelope and giving it to any Front
Street merchant.
The businessmen will then turn
the money over to the police de
partment. Officers were given a
$25 nickel fund by the chamber
of commerce Tuesday morning.
The theory is that this fund will
constantly be replenished by grate
ful shoppers who were relieved of
paying an overtime parking fine.
Circulars, explaining the system,
haVe been put in stores in the
business section. Ronald Earl
Mason of the chamber of com
merce, presented the plan to the
board. He said it would not apply
to commercial vehicles or cars of
those who work in the business
section, but Commissioner Gerald
Hill said he thought the plan
should apply to everyone.
So application to everyone was
the way the system went into op
eration this week.
"If it doesn't work, it's the pub
lic's fault," Mr. Mason said.
