Dr. Swalin commeai?t at - the,
' meeting that interest of the minor
ity in the arts in no reason to let
music, art and literature die. He
said that much must be done for
the well-being of the people.
Children arc made to go to
school; they don't want to go but
law requires them to go. In other
phases of life, laws require health
ful conditions in restaurants; in
farming, the government urges
upon the individual farmer new
and better ways of growing cropa
?but in the arts there is little
done, by government, to provide
fine music, art and literature for
the well-being of the people.
Dr. Swalin pointed this out, not
as a criticism, but to illustrate
that wants of the people should be
channeled and directed. It takes
a long time, he continued, to edu
cate people to the value of the
arts.
He recalled that music is being
used more and more as the inter
national language and cited the
cultural exchange of Russian and
American artists. "Music is an in
ternational language and a force
lor harmony and goodwill," the
sy mphony conductor said.
"All of ns need to learn more
about music, thus it will mean
more," he remarked in comment
ing on the preview-of-the-concert
program carried out by the Phil
harmonic orchestra of New York.
Attending the ir-eting with Dr.
Swalin was A. C. McAllister, sym
phony tour manager.

sam
tells!
The mere mention of the name
Sam Adler, causes the salivary
glands of those who know his
cooking to work overtime ? either
from memory or anticipation of
his culinary achievements.
A pillar of Morehead-Beaufort
Elks Lodge, Sam, naturally, was
called upon to produce the light
repast at the lodge for visiting
Elks during the recent Elks state
convention here.
An item on his menu was clam
chowder.
One of the visiting Elks was a
Catholic priest who had sampled
the gustatory achievements of
chefs in many parts of the world.
He told Sam that never before
had he tasted such clam chow
der, that he had sampled clam
chowder everywhere and that
even in Boston, the supposed
center of clam chowder produc
tion, he had found none to equal
S*m's.
And he wanted still more. But,
Sam was obliged to tell him sad
ly, the pot was empty.
The priest said to Sam:
"Why didn't you add some
water to it?"
Sam replied, "I must confess
that I added water to it twice
and this is probably the first
time a Jewish rabbi has ever
confessed to a priest!"

' The Morehead City town boards
in session Tuesday morning, ap
proved two location! (or a pro
posed bus stop. They are Morehead
Motor Parts on S. 8th St. and the
Sinclair service station at 12th and
Arendell, operated by Willie Lewis.
The only stipulation the board
made was that there be no bus
route on Jib Street or Evans east
of 8th, because that is already a
congested area.
As the mayor, George Dill, re
marked, "You couldn't get a
greased bus through there after
May."
Seashore Transportation Co. has
announced that it must close the
present Morehead City bus station
because expenses of o[terating it
are far in excess of revenue.
Although the chamber of com
merce and the town at first object
ed to the closing of the station and
establishing a bus stop, they have
altered their opinions. Seashore
has assured the town that the bus
runs and freight service will be
the same as in the past.
The expense of heating a station,
rent, and payment of personnel to
man it will be eliminated if a bus
stop is established.
At Tuesday's meeting, the board
also voted tl> zone the lots on the
northeast ccmier of 22nd and Aren
dell Street as business.
Although the board had zoned
the lots as business some months
ago, a technical error required
that they be re-advertised as pro
posed business area. ? v
The hearing on re-zoning was
scheduled for Monday night. Only
one commissioner was present. No
objectors appeared, so the meet
ing was recessed until the next
morning. Again no One appeared
to object to the re-zoning. A fu
neral home is being built there.

the mayor, were Commissioners
Ted Garner, Jasper Bell and I). J.
Hall.
