WHETHER THEY CLOSE the
bridge for repairs or leave them op
en, we still contend that plans were
underway by State Highway officials
to do something to the two spans be
tween Morehead City and Beaufort.
As a matter of fact specifications for
repairs had gone from one depart
ment to another or how would the
rumor have ever reached this section.?
WE THINK GOVERNOR Ehring-
haus and Highway Chairman Capus
Annrnximatelv $16,000 worth of (Waynick failed to use their best judg- 1
btverages have been ordered by the ment when wired for information a
Cuteret Control Board and the ABC bout the bridges. Even if both were
stirps will onen in Beaufort and , out of town, as most public officials
are in the summertime, those behind
in their offices might have shown a bit
of interest. We will admit that Gov
ernor Ehringhaus' office wired that
His Excellency was out of town but a
simple request like that, so it seems
might have been handled by an of
fice boy. And the Honorable Capus
M irehcad City not later than Tues
day, it was learned today. And

When the Works Progress Ad
ministration takes over a project
from Emergency Relief Adminis
tration it will make its call for
workers to the National Re-Employment
Office located in the
City Hall at Morehead City. All
relief clients will be given pre
ference by the Employment Of
fice if they are registered at the
Employment Office. Therefore
all persons who are on the re
lief rolls who are able to wark
who are over 16 years of age
both men and women should ap
ply for blanks to Miss Godwin at
the Beaufort ERA Office if they
live in the East End of the coun
ty or to the Morehead ERA of
fice if they live in the West End.
No payrolls will be certified for
payment unless everyone whose
, name is on it is registered at the
employment Office.
Private Vlpmmink' of Raleigh goes the
distinction of being the first man to really roll
the "regimental ball,'' at the annual and col
orful social event staged by the 1.20th Infan
try during their encampment at Camp Glenn.
For years it has been a standing gag among
the officers. Just prior to the staging of the
regimental ball they always tried to find
some greenhorn rookie who would serve as
"ball roller." Five dollars was the price

Private Flemming took them seriously and se
cured a wheelbarrow in which he rolled a
ball shaped floral design. Uniformed men
by the hundreds thronged the. floor of the
Casino by the Sea and the event was a big
success. The 120th Band played for the grand
march and later in the evening Jimmy Poyner
and his orchestra furnished syncopation for
the dancers. (We are indebted to our friend
Haywood Trotter and the Charlotte Observer
for the use of the flashlight picture above
showing Flemming and his "ball.")
In addition to appointing William
M. Webb and Gib L. Arthur as mem
bers of the Carteret Control Board,
the county commissioners on Monday
discussed the W.O.W. loan which has
jbeen in the limelight recently. The
total amount due today in the original
amount plus interest is approximate
ly $72,000 or about twice the amount
originally borrowed. The court ruling
on this debt released a few days ago
follows:
"A county may not be permitted
because of its financial condition to
defy creditors and apply tax money it
collects towards the payment of such
claims as may be compromised, nor
may a county invoke its embarrass
ing debt burden as an excuse for re
fusing to do anything at all," is was
emphasized in United States Court
in New Bern recently, by which was
affirmed the district court judgment
in favor of the Soverign Camp of the
Woodmen of the World in their long
pending suit against Carteret county
for the payment of county bnds a
mounting to $35,550 and interest.

A Faulty Drain Pipe Caused Her to Sink At Ocracoke
The total cost for puttnig the vessel back in cruising condkion will ")e approximately $700, according to
Capt. John Nelson, commissioner of Fisheries. The cost for floating her on Wednesday, July 17, (three days
after she sank) was $400. A 75-fo ter towed her to Morehead City on Thursday. She is now at Bell-Wallace
shipyards being put in shape again. Former Lieut-Go v. Long and a party of friends were aboard the craft when
she sank. Ocracoke Coastguardsmen transported them to safety. Much of the movable equipment in the main
cabin was saved, including the collec ion of Governors, from Aycock down to Ehringhaus. The John A. Nel
son originally cost North Carolina $11,000. Before that purchase the vessel was the Wichita, one of the Car
negie fleet of yacht3. She is 60.6 feet long, 16.2 feet wide and has a depth of 6 feet, was built in 1928

BODY OF WOMAN
WAS NOT FOUND
Babson Park, Maas. July 24 When
I last reviewed the farm situation
(during the winter) the weatherman
promised to be the big factor in the
1935 agricultural picture. In the in
tervening half year he has done his
best to carry out my forecast in cer
tain areas. Newspapers have featured
his antics, dust storms followed by
torrential rains, devastating floods
and now threatened black rust disas
ter. Throughout most of the country,
however, the weatherman has given
famrers fairly satisfactory growing
conditions. Put now his position as
number one influence on the farm
outlook is being challenged by the
legal status of the AAA's processing
taxes!
Crops About Normal
Mid-year reports by the govern
ment's crop surveyors confirm the
fair growing conditions which exist.
They say the 1935 crops are starting
with an acreage that is well above a
year ago even though somewhat be
low the plantings of other years.
Slightly higher than normal yields
per acre of most major crops indi
cate that the 1935 harvest will be
substantially above 1934 and, with
the exception of corn and winter
wheat, approximately normal. The
cloud on the horizon is the possibility
of a widespread black rust epidemic
which would damage the spring
wheat crop.
