NUMBER 17 Rapid Progress Is Made On Terminal Eight Sub- Contractors Will Start Work Next Week As the summer season approaches hundreds of visitors from this and other states are visiting Morehead City for the purpose of seeing the rapid progress that is being made on the port terminal. Even local peo ple who see the project every day are amazed at the vast changes that are being made at the terminal site. Eight sub-contractors to T. A. Lov ing, builder of the terminal will move on location next week to take charge of variousp hases of the work. This will include the plumbing, both un derground and overhead, electrical wiring, and other jobs. Pouring of concrete on the approach to the piers will begin within the next few days. This approach will lead from the main highway to the terminal piers. Foundations have been laid for the office building and construction of that unit is scheduled to continue rapidly and upon completion the old and unshapely building now serving as a temporary office will be ra7ed. The various piers are being filled with sand to the level of the steel piles, the last of which have been driven. Foundations are being laid for the construction of the transient sheds or as the un-port minded call them warehouses. The tank which will furnish fresh water for the port, is taking shape (Continued on page four) Secretary of War And Mrs. Dern Aboard Boat Which Passed Tuesday But they did not stop in Beaufort nor Morehead City. Thj War De partment is spending a nillion and a half dollars in the construction of a channel from the Morehead City port terminal to the sea beyond Beaufort Inlet. But if the Secretary of War inspected this bit of work, it was from the deck of the U. S. Engineer Boat Falcon. The Falcon passed through the Newport River bridge draw at 5:28 o'clock Tuesday after noon. The Norfolk papers had carried stories about the inspection of Fort ress Monroe by the Secretary Geo. H. Dern on Monday following a 19- gun salute honoring f,he official. Lat er Monday he, Mrs. Dern and their daughter boarded the Falcon at Old Point Comfort for an inspection cruise of Inland Waterways to Jack sonville. From there he was planning to go overland to Miami or Tampa for a bit of tropical game fishing. Local newsmen were of the opin ion that perhaps the War Secretary had planned to stop over in Morehead iCity for a brief visit to inspect the port terminal there, but no port of ficial contacted by The Beaufort News seemed to even know that the distinguished: official was coming through. The Falcon is attached to the Norfolk division of the Army corps. She is a 95 foot craft, built in Ontario Canada in 1925, purchas ed by the U. S. Army in New York in 1931. Used primarily for inspec tion purposes, the Falcon carries a crew of two officers and six men. come over MY HOME FOR DINNER.' "Those who as the fewest favors are received as favored guests.

J TOTAL RED CROSS FUND NOW $232.18 A total of $232.18 has been raised by the Beaufort Chapter of the Amer ican Red Cross for the relief of flood and tornado sufferers, it was stated this morning by Mrs. M. E. Blood good in charge of collections. During the past week $7.25 has been added to the collections. These donations came from Sea Level school, ?5; Straits school, $1.25; and a Beaufort citizen $1. One school in the coun ty had not reported its collections and contributions may still be made to Mrs. Bloodgood, Dr. Hyde or The Beaufort News. He Is No 'Yes Man? Carl T. Chadwick When Carl T. Chadwick resigned from the Carteret county board of commissioners- during a special meet ing last Friday, he gave no reason for same. He just resigned thats all. But friends of Mr. Chadwick know that the real reason he resign ed was because he would not become a ''yes man,' to the Democratic boss of this county. He is the second coun ty official to resign from office re cently. J. J. Whitehurst resigned as auditor on April 6. Naming a suc cessor to Mr Chadwick is up to L. W. Hassell, clerk of superior court W. P. Smith a candidate for Commission er has been favorably mentioned by some as the person for the post. It would be a hard matter to find a man that would say Carl T. Chad wick was not an outstanding and splendid commissioner. ATLANTIC BEACH COLONY GROWING Completion of Concrete Drive Offers Convenient Sites For Beach Dwellers; Much Building When Atlantic Beach Sales Cor poration completed the 4,500 feet concrete drive running parallel with the water front cottages many new building sites were made available. As a result a number of the choice lots along the drive have been sold and alreday new summer cottages are under construction. The concrete drive represents an investment of approximately $10,000. It was built by Capt. George Brooks of Beaufort. Mr. Woods and Mr. McCracken of the Sales Corporation are opening their office at the beach this week end. It has been moved from the eastern side of the men's bath house to a location nearer the hotel. In town this week, Mr. McCracken stated that several new homes are now being built on Atlantic Beach, (continued on page five) PART OF HOFFMAN ESTATE FOR SALE Part of the famous Hoffman es 'tate on Bogue Island is being offered for sale according to an announce ment made this week by Llewellyn Phillips, who represents the interests of Mrs, Hoffman in Carteret county.

Finhinq And ALL OUTDOORS By AYCOCK BROWN FROM THE OREGON Inlet area of Dare County comes word that an glers are making some very nice catches of channel bass. The record catch made so far this season was by Ai P. Cutchin, Jr., and a party of two from Hopewell, Va., last Tues day. They landed 15 and another par ty, L. B. Elliott and a party of friends from Bowling Green, Va., landed 12 nice drum, as they are call ed along the Dare Coast. YOU CA,N CALL them drum if you wish, but if the fish you catch is a reddish or copper color it is a Channel Bass. That is the correct name. A fish that is sometimes mis taken for channel bass is the Black Drum. They are sluggish fellows, and when occasionally taken by rod and seel, furnish the angler a sport quite similar to reeling in a water logged piece of wreckage. The Black Drum has no fight. (Continued on page two) Political All is not quiet on the Republican front ... Of course there will be nothing definite until Chairman Charles Henry Bushall aljourns the May' 9th conven tion . . . But if what one picks up along the political by-ways is true some very strong men will be put in the field to fight for dear old Republicania . . . Judging from the long list of prob able candidates one would gather off hand, (except in Carteret county) that every member of the party was seeking a public office or were being favorably mentioned for same , . . . After the big day you will see sever al of the following persons on the Republican ticket: For Sheriff: Jim Davis, Dave Jones, Nat Russell,, Sam Thomas, Grayer Hudgins, all of Beaufort, Earl Johnson, Harkers Is land, Leslie Gillikin, Marshallberg or Tildei Jarvis, Straits ... If there are any more possible Republican candidates out for Sheriff Chadwick's job .... We'll make mention next week . . . Especially interesting is the probable line up for Republican county commissioners . . . Such men as R. Hugh Hill, Beaufort; Samuel Edwards, Newport; Tilden Jarvis, Straits; Fernie E. Simmons, New port; Roy Lincoln, Morehead City; Charlie Pake, Marshallberg; Earl Davis; Harkers Island and Webster Mason, Stacy, would make some of the Democrats who have been dis pleased with their own party com missioners want to split their ticket . . . Some fine fellows in that line up and you'll be hearing more from them .... Someone said that Gra ham Duncan was choosing to run for the Legislature ... His party had rather slate him for solicitor of Re- ty. I tr I : ' lllillllllJ ifilllliii IS May Day Festival -:- 1936 Barbour daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. O.

That will consist of firing a line from the Lyles gun' to a mast on the station grounds, the rigging up of a breeches buoy and the subsequent rescue of anyone who would like to climb to the cross-tree and have a ride in the buoy. ONE OF THE MOST interesting drills staged by coastguardsmen takes place in the water. The person in the drill must jump overboard ful ly dressed and remove his garments while in or under water. Might sound easy but try it sometime. Such a drill on May 1 would not be prac tical as coastguardsmen do not re move their clothes in front of mixed audiences unless it is really a mat (Continued on page eight) Round - Up corder's Court, where Judge Walter Hill will rule, if the Republicans rule the county . . and Stanley Wood land will be the party candidate to oppose Fred See-SS? ley in his run for bile nociuuiagc .

Actual placement of the logs will be gin early next week, Mr. Kelly, county supervisor of WPA projects stated today. In the meantime work continues on Front Street extension which leads direct to the Community Center p-oject. The auditorium build ing will have the distinction of be ing the 1 rgest log auditorium build ing in America, when it is completed. His Books Checked Irvin W. Davis Elsewhere in today's edition of The Beaufort News Irvin W. Davis, makes his formal notice as" a candi date for re-nomination to the office of register of deeds, a job which he has held in a most efficient manner. No Demrocrat would dare oppose Mr. Davis for his office although it is likely that a Republican will be a candidate for it. When the recent audit revealed what a muddle some of the offices in the court house were in, only the highest praise was offer ed for the office of register of deeds under Mr. Davis His books checked to the penny, and his office is, inci dentally, one that you seldom find closed from early morn until late af ternoon. That is more than can be said of some of the offices under the courthouse dome. LEGION POST TO PRESENT MEDALS Ten Outstanding Eighth Grad ers In Carteret Schools Will Be Honored by American Legion Ten eighth graders, five boys and five girls will be awarded Legion medals or honor at the conclusion of the Carteret school year next month. The medals, given for outstanding scholastic achievements, will be pre sented by Carteret Post 99 of The American Legion to students of five schools. The schools are: Morehead City, Beaufort, Smyrna, Harkers Island and Atlantic. Similar medals were given last year to outstanding eighth graders, by the local Legion post. Tha prin cipal of the various schools along with County Superintendent Gary Allen will be on the committee to se lect the students to whom the med als will be presented. The students selected will then be approved by a committee from the American Leg ion. BRIEF EXERCISES TO MARK OPENING Only brief exercises mark the formal opening of Old Fort Macon on May 1, it was stated in a letter to The Beaufort News this week from Paul Kelly, assistant director of the Department of Conservation and Development. Tentative plans call for speeches by Hon. Graham A. Barden Congressional Representative and Hon. J. C. B Ehringhaus, gover nor of North Carolina. Picnics will be enjoyed by those who wish at noon and during the afternoon Fort Macon coastguardsmen will give an exhibition drill. Complete details of celebration in next week's edition. f f ' ' ; Candidates Have Until May Ninth To File With Board Registrars and judges who will serve in the various voting precincts of Carteret county during the next two years were appointed by the Board of Elections here Monday.

Starting at 10 o'clock the events will continue through out the day, winding up with a base ball game between Beaufort and Morehead City which starts at 3:30 o'clock.
