City In Tow
Julius Willis Wants
People To Know That
He Captured Terrapin
The g igantic terrapin recently
placed in the salt water pool at Fiv
er's Island was captured by Julius
Willis, nightwatchman at Money Is
land Beach. He said that he caught
the reptile about 11 o'clock at night,
on July 9, as he was making his
rounds of watching.
Mr. Willis wants credit for catch
ing the terrapin and he brought the
following list: Woodrow Chadwick
Glenn Pigott, Ira Burts, Ed Lawrence
Roosevelt Whitehurst, Guy Salter,
Gray Roberts, George Lynch, Adrian
Rice, Will Nolan, Isaac Wade, Louis
Washington, as witnesses to that ef
fect. In our last week's edition we stat
ed that Capt. George Brooks, brought
the terrapin to the laboratory pool,
and many people might have gotten
the impression that he caputred the
reptile. At the time we did not know
the real captor so his name was om-
mitted. But since he requests this
story we are glad to give his ver
sion not that the Beaufort News
gives a continental who caught it or
how). The Bureau of Fisheries has
advertised that they will buy agiant
terrapin of any species and pay a
nominal price for same just so it
weighs 400 pounds or over. The
Willis terrapin weighed about 275
pounds.
County Tops List In
Canning During Week
Carteret county ERA Home mak
ers topped the list in District 26 for
the number of quarts canned during
the week-ending July 13, according
to memorandum received by Mr.
Gossard the head case worker here
Wednesday. Clients in Carteret put
up 8956 quarts of fruits and vege
tables during the week. There are 10
women in this county who go into
the homes of clients and assist in the
canning.
Other counties and the number of
quarts put up fololw: Craven, 6622,
Jones 7361, Onslow, 6011, and Pam
lico 4983, according to the memoran
dum sent to the local office by Miss
Elizabeth C. Uzzle, ERA Home Eco
nomist of District 26.
REASONS FOR NO
JOBS ARE CITED
Roger Babson Says Wagner
Act No Panacea and Gives
Basic Reasons For Unemploy
ment Today
Babson Park, Mass. July 19 La
bor leaders feel that they have scor
ed a real victory in the passage of
the Wagner Act. This is open to ser
ious question. The Wagner Act may
turn out like- many other measures
which have been adopted presumably
for labor's benefit. Its long range
effects may serve only to hinder rath
er than help the cause of labor.
Employers And Labor Leaders Have
Same Goal
While I am an employer, my sym
pathies have always been on the side
of labor and I favor any measure
which benefits employees. In this
J present situation, however, I feel that
j labor leaders have made a great mis
take. In their innermost hearts, sane
employers and sane labor leaders, a
like, have the same goal even though
they differ vastly in their methods of
approach. This goal is the elimination
of unemployment and the raising of
the workers' standard of living. Let
us try to visualize from an unbiased
viewpoint, what progress this labor-
leader-sponsored measure may make
I toward the common objective,
i Almost every enlightened employ
er believes in collective bargaining
and the right of labor to strike. So
my biggest criticism is not concern
ed in any way with the Wagner Act's
recognition of this right, but with its
unfairness in permitting coercion on
the part of labor leaders and forbid-
ding it on the part of employers.

ONLY FIVE CASES
BEFORE RECORDER
Jack Greer Who Operated A
Speakeasy on Wheels Has
Not Shown up For Trial Yet ;
Capias Unserved
There was nothing exciting about
Recorder's Court on Tuesday. It was
a dull session. Only five names were !
on the docket.
Jack Greer for whom a capais was
issued on June 26, for violating the
prohibition law has not yet been tak
en. He is the man who operated a
speakeasy on wheels out in the Red
Light Bluffs district which Sheriff
Chadwick has been cleaning up late
ly. And the Sheriff told us that heju
was not through with his clean tip yet
so that might be a tip-off to anyone
out in that neck of the woods who
might be selling liquor.
Upon payment of the costs and
condition that he remain of good be
havior for two years, Paul Wi'.liams,
charged with violating the prohibi
tion law, was given a suspended sen
tence of 90 days.
Oscar Norfleet charged with non
support of his two illigitimate chil
dren (twins born a few days ago)
was placed under a bond of $200
and is scheduled to appear again on
July 23.
Sherman Copes was charged with
assault on a female and carrying a
concealed weapon. The prosecuting
witness was his wife who wanted to

Clerk Of Court Wants
Registration Records
Six precincts in Carteret county
had failed to return the registration
books for the Liquor Control Vote on
on July 6, and Clerk of Court L. W.
Hassell early this week told a Beau
fort News reporter that same must be
returned to his office. The precincts
which failed to return registration
books included, Stella, Wiregrass,
Marshallberg, Davis, Atlantic and
Portsmouth. If any books are still
at large when this story appears in
print, Mr. Hassell requests they be
returned.

ARTIST HENRY MERZ BELIEVES
THAT USE OF SKIS A PRACTICAL
METHOD TO WALK OVER SANDS
Perhaps no one had ever thought
of the idea before, but Henry Merz
! believes that instead of trudging ov
er sand-dunes on Bogue Island, that
they can be negotiated quickly and in
a sporting manner by the use of skis.
A ski to those who are probably not
familiar with the noun, is one of a
I pair of hardwood strips which when
fastened to the foot serves as a sort
of streamlined snow shoe. They are
very popular in the Swiss Alps, Lake
Placid and other places where snow
is abundant.
And if Mr. Merz's idea is success
ful, a new sport for summer vaca
tionists may begin, along this and
other sections of the coast where
sand-dunes are available.
j Mr. Merz is the artist in charge

night; Borring and Lazur

To Meet
One of the most colorful events

120th Infantry Band during the color
parade or grand march to be follow
ed with dancing until the wee-hourse
of the morning, with Jimmy Poyner's
orchestra furnishing the syncopation.
Manager Bob Cordon believes that

attractive from an entertainment
'standpoint, that has been presented
this season. The State Board of
Medical Examiners will hold their
summer session at the Atlantic
Beach Hotel on Friday and Saturday.
Tomorrow (Friday night) the Cas
ino by the sea will be transformed

es. This dancing team will feature
the "Sensuistic Moode" their own
creation, Society Waltz, Modern Tan
go and Ballet Adagio. On Saturday
night there will be the regular dance

noon concert 'Sunday afternoon.
RUSSELL'S CONDITION

Nat Russell, engineer of the ill
fated Norfolk Southern rail bus which
struck a truck at Stevenson's brick
kilns, recently near New Bern was re

came to Money Island from Pinehurst
where he did the decorating recently
in the Chalfonte Night Club, one of
the swankiest of its kind south of
Latitude 40.
The ski-ing idea struck him after
a few trudging strolls across the
dunes in the vicinity. And Mr. Merz
is a past master at the art or sport or
what ever you call it, of ski-ing. He
is a native of Switzerland, but has
traveled over as much of this roman

Now Possible To Walk
On Harbor Bottom And
See What A Fish Sees
That is you can see what a fish
sees if the water is not thcik the day
you decide to rent the diving helmet
owned by "Dickie" Dickinson and
take a sinking trip down into 12 feet
of water. The helmet and air com
pressor came this week to young Dick
inson who is spending his vacation in
Beaufort. Several have already tak
en the trip down to the bottom of
the harbor and it is the same thrill
that William Beebe writes about oft
en for magazines, in describing cor
al reefs and such . . . except in Beau
fort harbor the coral reefs are liable
to be tin cans and rubbish dumped
overboard by residents along Front
street.
Anyway you can take the trip down
into the shallow deep now and at a
very reasonable rate too. Dickie has
two associates in this business he is
advertising elsewhere in the Beaufort
News today. They are Taylor p'Bryan
and Borden Mace. Their headquarters
is the Old Davis House wharf or a
board Dickie's Chris-Craft cruiser. By
special arrangement the youngsters
will take parties out to Fort Chan
nel where the waters are clearer and
the tin cans scarcer.
The editor will give an eye witness
story next week, he did not have time
to accept the invitation to go down
Wednesday. Other divers in town at
present are Capt.. C. Gutrall and
Capt. John Mogg, who are diving for
the wreck of the Thistleroy off Look

Covering The

IF THE PAIR OF soldiers I picked
up in Morehead City last Sunday who
wanted a lift to Beaufort were a
sample of the North Carolina Nation
al Guard and the 120th Infantry m
particular, I would say off handed
that it is about the lousiest bunch I
have ever seen. But I happen to know
that it was not a fair sample, and
taken as a whole the Reginvent has a
fine group in its ranks.
THOSE TWO USED THE Filthiest
language I have ever heard and I
thnno-Jit. for the life of me that they
would jump out of the open windows
of the car every time we passed a ie
male of the species. As mashers they
would take the cake. It is too bad
that a fpw of that tvne should be in
the ranks nf a reeiment. Thev cive
the whole works a bad name, which is
not as it should be. I am not advocat-
