Well Worth A Trip To
See Work Underway
At Lenoxville
Much progress has been made
during the past few days on the lar.
gest log auditorium building in the
United States, which is rapidly tak
ing shape at Beaufort Community
Center on Lenoxville road two miles
east of here. Already several hun
dred logs have been placed and the
wall structures are piactically com
pleted. It is hard to realize the vast
ness of this unique structure and it
is well worth a trip there by anyone
to see for themselves, what is hard to
describe in a news story, without
illustrations.
But the log auditorium building
to be constructed of logs is not the
only unit of this WPA sponsored
recreational center which will be for
the use of all Carteret citizens and
the State at large. Under the dir
ection of Phillip Ball, a nine hole
golf course, with the tee near the
audtorium building, is being con
structed, leading northward from the
Lenoxville road. All fairways for
the course have been cleared and
grass seed and fertilizer has foeen
aquired and will be placed on the
course at an eraly date. There is
a possibilty that the course will be
completed by autumn, providing an
asset for not only the recreatonal
minded citizens of Carteret, but also
to the golf-minded visitors to this
secton of the coast.

WHEN SOUTHWESTERS start
blowing, it is channel bass time a-
long the North Carolina coast. Inci
dentally the prevailing wind along
the Carolina coast during the sum
mer months hails from the Southwest
and it has been hailing from that di
rection like nobody's business these
past few days. As a result, channel
ibass galore have been taken by ang
lers in the surf on Core Banks.
SOME GOOD CATCHES were re
