A. & N. C. Officials Appear Anxious To Oper
ate Beaufort Extension For Any One Willing
To Assume Responsi bility Of Buying Or
Leasing Trackage
CROWELL CONFERS WITH
CITIZENS HERE TONIGHT
Norfolk-Southern Did Not Con
vince I. C. C. Examiner That
Extension Should Be Aban
doned; And A. & N. C. Has
Not Yet Been Granted Cer
tificate to Operate Road
Which It Has Operated
Since November 16, 1935.
A group of Beaufort ciitjens are
contemplating the forming of a cor
poration to purchase or lease the 3.17
miles of railroad tracks which serves
this town, many communities and a
vast area east and north of here. Two
meetings in this connection have al
ready been held by local citizens and
tonight a group is conferring with
H. P. Crowell, general manager of
the Atlantic and North Carolina rail
road with the thought of going fur
ther into the matter.
The foregoing is an aftermath of
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion hearing conducted in New Bern
last week before Examiner John
Pritchard which involved the propos
' d abandonment of the local track
age by the owners, Norfolk-Southern,
the application of A. & N. C. for a
certificate to operate their railroad
between Goldsboro and Morehead
City and the application of N-S to
abandon operation of that trackage.
In a general discussion by the
group at the hearing f olowing two
, dayfcof testimpBjrJgs various witness
es the idea was developed that citi
zens of Beaufort should lease the
road, and the Examiner requested rep
iresentatives of this town to investi
gate the possible solution along this
lire. The A. & N. C. wculd be will
ing to operate trains into Beaufort,
it was stated by Manager Crowell, if
auch an arrangement was made. The
Beaufort railroad corporation would
either lease or probably buy at a very
nominal figure the trackage in ques
tion, if the U. iS. District Court at
Norfolk, controlling N-S under receiv
ership would permit same.
Such a corporation, according to

March 8, resulting in the serious in
jury of Miss Eloise Freeman and min

for driving an automobile while
drunk. The defendant was arrested
between Morehead City and Beau

Sail Yacht's Tragedy
. Came As No Surprise
When the Bull Line steamer Eosa
rio radioed the coastguard at Norfolk
Monday that the ship's crew had res
cued ten persons from the schooner
yacht Kaysep, of Washington, D. C,
in a sinking condition 340 miles east
of Wilmington it came as no surprise
to Beaufort residents who saw the
craft re-fueling at the" Gulf station,
stocking up with bread from Betts
Bakery and groceries from local
stores last Friday morning.
A member of the party told a Beau
fort News reporter that the craft was
bound for Panama. The Kaysep pass
ed through Beaufort Inlet at 10:10
o'clock according to Fort Macon
coastguardsmen right into the teeth
of a southwest gale, and the gale
j continued for three days. The rescued
j party consisted of Capt. Millard and
his wife and eight young men in the
crew, iney were advised here to hug
port until weather conditions were
more favorable. But they failed to
take that advice, and as a result their
rescue Monday by the Bull liner made
front page.
To Prevent Fire Hazard This
Year Capt. Godwin Will be
Instructed to Remain On
Area Probably Living in Tent
On June 25, 1935, newspapers
throughout the country front paged
stories under Beaufort datelines tell
ing of the destruction of Lenoxville
Heron Rookery by a
forest fire. Hundreds
of young birds, possib
ly thousands were bak
ed alive when the
flames which originat
ed from a carelessly
HERONS
handled match or cig
arette butt, swept thru
one of the few rooker
ies of its kind in the
United States which
was located on proper
ties adjacent to the
WPA sponsored Com
munity Center.
. A repetition of last
year's tragedy in con-Lenoxville

will try to be avoided by the Nation

Home Office, N. C. Fisheries Inc., Morehead City, N. C.
All sales made by N. C. Fisheries plants in Southport, Belhaven and Manteo from now on will be made
directly through the home office of the organization in Morehead City, it was r - nounced this week by John
Sikes, general manager. Reports of daily sales will be received in Morehead City via Western Union it was
stated and the new system is expected to simplify operations. The N. C. Fisher; Inc., which was under fire
for some time seems to be running along smoothly now or at least the newap:;v3r controversies apparently,
have been discontinued. The resignation of Rodney S. Prescott as secretary a :d treasurer of N. C. Fisher
ies has not been acted upon yet. It was tendered some weeks ago, but will nc t be acted upon until a meet
ing of the board of directors. An audit of N. C. Fisheries, government financed operations, was made recent
ly, but it was kept a secret from the public.
Fishing And
ALL OUTDOORS
By AYCOCK BROWN
ABOUT 75 PERCENT of all per
sons who fish with rod and reel are
the amateur class. They hsn be
cause they love the sport, but quite
frequently they have the wrong sort
of rig, and then after tney mane a
catch, many cannot identify what
they have caught. Perhaps U &.
Caine had that m mind when ne wrote
"Game Fish of the South and How To
Catch Them" one of the most com
plete works ever prepared for both
fresh and salt water anglers in one
easy to read vomme.
NOT ONLY IS each species that
will take a lure identified, but the
best methods and the best places to
catch same are listed, along with a
sketch of the fish, synonyms, average
size, largest on record, food value,
natural foods, best lures along with
other information that will please the
angler. Divided into two parts, the
first gives the above information
while in the second part are practi
cal suggestions on tackle, bait and the
proper rig. Too many people who en
joy the sport of fishing, know too
little about the most successful ways
of taking the various species.- In
this book will be found not only the
information desired, but sketches
which show the fish, the rig and the
lures. Every angler and guide should
procure a copy and if there is no
bookseller in your vicinity, "Game
Fish of The South" may be ordered
direct from the publishers, Houghton

4 President's Proclamation
i "TO THE PEOPLE OF THE
Flood waters raging throughout eleven states have
driven 200,000 people from their homes, with every in
dication that this number may be materially increased
within the next twenty-four hours. In this grave emer
gency the homeless are turning to our great national re
lief agency, the American Red Cross, for food, clothing,
shelter and medical care.
To enable the Red Cross to meet this immediate obli
gation and to continue to carry the burden of caring for
these unfortunate men, women and children until their
homes are restored and they can return to normal living
conditions, it is necessary thatat a minimum relief fund
of three million dollars be raised as promptly as possible.
As President of the United States and as President of
the American Red Cross, I am, therefore, urging our
peolpe to contribute promptly and most generously so
that sufficient funds may be available for the relief of
these thousands of your homeless fellow citizens. I am
confident that in the face of this great need your re
sponse will be as immediate and as generous as has al
ways been the case when the Red Cross has acted as your
agent in the relief of human suffering."

CAPE HATTERAS Lighthouse i s
"not again" deserted as the headline
in Sun Journal Wednesday would in
dicate. The light still shines from
America's tallest tower there and the
change to the new skeleton steel
structure will not be made until some
time in April and that is authentic
received by telephone at The Beau
fort News oflke this morning from
Cape Hatteras. It took four years to
erect the tallest brick lighthouse in
the world. The new skeleton like
steel structure was first built in Bal
timore and brought down to Buxton
village (the Cape' postoffice) and
erected or assembled in just a few
weeks. Cape Hatteras light on one oc
casion when atmospheric conditions
were iust right, was sighted by a
. ! mariner 60 miles off shore saw and
' reported the beam. Capt. Uneka B.
j Jennett, the old tower keeper for
over 21) years will
have charge of
the new structure.
IF THERE ARE any children or
adults either, as for that matter, in
the village of Salter Path, Cape Look
out, Core Banks, Portsmouth or Ocra
coke who wish to make some money
selling sea shells, a letter to this col
umnist will give them all particulars.
We know a party who wants a batch
of conch and other kind of shells,
and he will pay for same so if any
of you folks along the ocean's edge
are interested drop me a line.

Principals of Each School Are

LOLA RECIPROCATES
Local Chapter'i Quota For Flood
Relief $200 of Which $113 Had
Been Railed to 3 o'clock Today
Contributions accepted by the
Beaufort Chapter of the American
Red Cross for rehabilitating suffer
ers in the flood area at 3 o'clock this
afternoon totaled $113 which is
within $87 of the quota of $200. The
Beaufort chapter which includes this
town and all .communities east and
north of here in Carteret have shown
an excellent response in contributing
to the flood relief fund. This is prob
ably due to the fact that it has been
only a short time since the American
Red Cross spent over $20,000 in Car
teret following a hurricane which
caused large property damage and
the loss of several lives.
Dr. Frank E. Hyde, chairman of
the local chapter has written letters
to principals of all schools asking
that they receive contributions, but
so far none of these have come in.
j There are several persons in Beaufort
able, and anxious to give but who
do not know how to go about same.
Workers under Mrs. M. E Bloodgood
are making a canvas for contribu
tions or the donations may be mad
direct to Dr. Hyde or to The Beau
fort News office. During the past
week several persons have called the
News office for information about
making contributions.
