Mrs. O'Berrv is planning to be in
attendance at the dedication exercis

Beaufort owes a vote of thanks to
Mrs. O' Berry because it was through
her that the building was finally com

State Administrator for NUlKA
since it was established. The Board
of Trustees of Beaufort High School
have also played an important part
in having the building completed,
and they too are to be commended
for their efforts.

NO DRUNKS IN

There were no defendants charged

leave up to your own judgment. In

COUNTY JAIL LIKELY
TO BE A CREMATORY
It is Quite Likely That County
Jail Will Become A Crema
tory Sometime Unless An
cient Structure Which Was
Built A Century Ago is Re
modeled; That and Other
Matters Faced Commission
ers At Monthly Meet on
Monday
A county official who is given
'control' of his office may 'hire and
fire' an employee, but that employee
may have a good trump card some
thing in the form of a contract
which does not expire for several
months which may entitle him or
monms wuiti
ker to C0Uect their monthly wages,
even though they are not actually on
the job. Such was a sort of minia
ture bombshell thrown into the laps
of the Honorable Board of Carteret
County Auditor J. J. Whitehurst
gave Mrs. Eva Bravaldo former em
ployee of Carteret a 15-day notice
that her services were no longer de
sired after December 4. So on De
cember 4. Mrs. Bravaldo walked out.
but according to all information' she
walked out carrying a contract that
was good until December 1936. A
properly executed contract is some
thing which quite often secures sal
aries for people after their services
are no longer desired. Anyway on
Monday a bill for $90 was presented
the Commissioners by Mrs. Bravaldo
for December services. As it was Dre-
sented, according to reports, during
the absence of the Lounty Attorney,
naturallv the matter was deferred
until the February meeting.
A report of inspection of the jail
and county home by State Board of
Charities and Public Welfare was laid
before the board. Efforts wlil be
made to secure arjroval of application
of remodeling tf the jail on the part
of WPA at the earhst possible mo
ment, which would correct the fire
hazard now existing there. Consider
ing the establishment furnished by
Carteret countv for holding crinrnals.
Jailor E M. Chaplain is to be com
mended for the excellent job he has
accomplished in carrying out his du
ties. The structure was built about
the same time that Fort Macon was
built a hundred years ago. Numer
ous fires have been started by inmates
but so far no one has been burned a-
