Eventually, it is hoped, tennis
courts can be made available at
New Bern high school for those
students who lean toward this par
ticular sport. When that day does
come, it is not unlikely that some
of our local athletes will excel at
the game.
As it is, we have failed for gen
erations to produce a tennis star,
simply because facilities and in-,
struction for proper development
have never been available. Cham
pions, or even serious contenders
just don’t happen. They are usual
ly a product of favprable sur
roundings, coupled with keen com
petition from other aspirants in
the community from which they
bail.
For example, the excellent golf
course at the New Bern Golf and
County Club enabled George
Smith, Jr., to blossom into a real
champion while still in high
school. Ken Worthington, Jr., who
later became a pro, polished up
his game there, too. Others less
outstanding have become suffi
ciently adept at the sport to ably
represent their school in North
eastern Conference competition.
There is no reason, of course,
why New Bernians can’t disting
uish themselves in any and all

lines of athletic endeavor. Some
one has aptly said that an expert
is a fool a long way from home,
and"»one of our failings here has
always been the attitude that
somebody somewhere else has spe
cial talents that aren’t to be found
in our own town.
Admittedly, the law of averages
is against New Bern coming up
with truly great athletes year in
and year out. However, the more
fertile we have our soil, so to
speak, the better are our chances
for success in the world of sports.
If the soil is fertile enough, and
we plant our seeds early, good
athletes and good ball 'clubs can
occur with remarkable frequency.
Kinston has demonstrated that re
peatedly in recent years '^ith its
fine basketball program. Stars
graduate, but new stars come along
to take their place.

Veterans
News
A continued rise in the number
of applications for GI loan guaranty
and the number of dwelling units
actually started under Veterans Ad
ministration inspection was report
ed by the VA for October.
Offsetting this rise, however, was
a drop from the September totals
in appraisal requests for both new
construction and existing dwellings.
This is evidence of a continued
tightening in the supply of mort
gage'money for GI loans. VA said.
During October, VA received 26,-
594' applications for home loan
guaranty, an increase of 7.7 per
cent over September’s total of 24,-
687."
GI starts in October climbed 2.2
per cent to 14,676 from September’s
total of 14,355.
Appraisal requests for existing
structures dropped 13.6 per cent
from September’s 12,442 to 10,751
in October.
Q—I have a permanent plan
World War II GI insurance policy.
It has lapsed because I let my grace
period for payment of the premium
go by without paying. What must
I do to reinstate the policy?
A—GI permanent plan insurance
may be reinstated at any time by
payment of all back premiums, plus
interest. You must also meet VA’s
health requirements.

She Had Answer
For Sour Customer
It really was a disagreeable day,
but not half so disagreeable as the
man standing at the supermarket’s
checking-out counter.
“I hate this section of the coun
try,” he growled. “I hate the weath
er—in fact, I hate everything about
this town.” Then with a gesture of
sarcastic apology toward the girl
at the cash register, he sneered,
“I hope you don’t mind.”
“Not at all,” she replied with a
smile. “If everybody loved New
Bern and North Carolina like we
do, it would be too overcrowded
to move around in.”

Have You Listed
Your 1959 Taxes?
Time Extended Through Saturday,
February 14, 1959
Fearing that some taxpayers had been unable tc
list their taxes during the month of January, as required
by law, the Board of Commissioners have extended the
time within which we may accept your tax list, without
penalty, through February 14, 1959.
This is, therefore, final notice and urgent warning
to any who have not listed taxes for the year 1959, that
unless their tax fi!st is in the hands of the list-takers
on or before the 14th day of February, 1959, the penalty
prescribed by law will immediately become effective, as
well as subjecting the taxpayer to indictment for failure
to list.
'-I therefore urge you to see the tax lister in your
Township as quickly as possible and attend to this impor
tant matter.

TAX SUPERVISOR
