Attended Event
PROFITS WERE MADE
Exhibit Hall and Free
Shows Big Attractions
Carteret county's greatest fair
which was sponsored by Carteret
Post 99 of The American Legion
came to a close late Saturday night.
Thousands of persons from all parts
of this and adjoining counties attend
ed and it was a success, both finan
cially and otherwise, for the spon
sors, exhibitors and Cetlin and Wil
son's famous midway attractions. ,
The free attractions were just a3
good and even better lhan some pre
sented in cities a hundred times as
large as Beaufort.-, The Great Wilno
cannon act perhaps attracted more
attention than any other -free act.
This young German was actually shot
from a cannon, over two ferris
wheels into a net three hundred feet
sway-by air. From Beaufort a town
of 3,000 the human cannon ball act
moved to Charlotte, largest city in
North Carolina for a two weeks en
gagement nad from there will go to
Augusta and other cities in Georgia.
Almost as sensational was the Sol
Solomon diving act. From a perch on
a ladder far in the air this daring
young man would dive "when the
wind was right" into a flaming tank
of water 129 feet below.
From Beaufort the Cetlin and
Wilsoij shows moved to Henderson,
where a fair, is being presented this
week,-.
American Legion officials who had
, charge of the fair's operation are
well pleased with, results, despite the
fac4kVdue to-rafn-and wind, Fri
day was a total loss. County author
ities had nothing but praise for the
way the fair was operated as a mat
ter of fact everyone was well pleas
ed with everything.
The Exhibit Hall was a scene of
many beautiful and well planned dis
plays. Mrs. S. E. Hayne had charge
of these exhibits which were viewed
by hundreds of people each day. Es
pecially attractive was the curb mar
ket display, the WPA exhibit and the
exhibits of the Morehead City and

Much Progress Is Made
Oil "Carteret A. Projects
Community Center Building
80 Percent Complete '
Working on Gyms
Work on Beaufort Community
Center is speeding along these days
and is at the present time 80 per
cent complete, according to Philip
Ball, county project surervisor. Ali
windows and doors have been install
ed, the roof is nearly shingled, and
the sub floor is almost laid. Work
on installing the plumbing will be
gin within the next few days it was
stated.
Nearby and a part of the Commu
nity Center project is the golf course
which is also nearing completion. Mr
Ball who was the landscape archi
tect on this job before he became
county supervisor says the course i3
75 per cent finished. Grass has been
rooted or sown on the Number 1 tee
and similar work will get underway
on the other eight tees or greens
and fairways at an early date. The
course will be finished during the
late winter and probably by late
Spring it will be suitable for playing
on and then this county will have
golf to offer as a diversion to its res
idents and visiting vacationists.
Work has also started on two
gymnasium buildings in the county,
structures which were brought about
through the co-operation of Congress
man Graham A. Barden of this Dis
trict. The two buildings which will
represent a total expenditure of
$35,000 when finished are located at
the Newport and Atlantic schools.
Other projects in the county in
clude road construction, streets in
Morehead City, the heating plant at
the county courthouse here and mal
aria drainage down on Harkers Is
land. Many of the projects will be
completed before or during the com
ing winter it was stated.
VO-AG BOYS SELL

Newport Vo-Ag boys are go get

farmers in their section, a total of
296 pounds. Then, along with C. S.

Kinston, separated their week into
seven grades and sold it all for a to
tal of $109.96. "This money has
been placed in the bank to the cred

And Man Who Killed It
Few people in Njrth Carolina

crocodiles lived on the rivers and
bays of Carteret county. They would
say, "You are getting our coast mix
ed up with southern Florida or the
Nile in Egypt." But seeing is believ
ing. The 8-foot crocodile shown a
bove was shot last week in Carteret
county by Archie Hardesty who lives
on Route 2, near Newport. He killed
the reptile when it had crawled into
his yard a half mile from the near
est water and started an argument
with his dog. Local residents prove it
is a crocodile because the upper jaws
work, an achievement not credited to
alligators, which are also plentiful in
Carteret watera. The above cut was

Thousand of Garmerts Arrf
Made by Women Workers
Under Miss Rumley
Thousands of garments of all
kinds have been made by the women
working in Carteret WPA sewing
rooms since they were established,
and as a result the needy residents
of the county have received much
clothing they would not have ha 1
otherwise. Products made in the sew
ing rooms, which are under the su
pervision of Miss Sara Rumley, arc
turned over to the Welfare Depart
ment which in turn irakes distribu
tion to needy cases.
But making garments by sewing
room workers is only one of the
thing? which the WPA women of
this county have to do. Book bind
ing projects at various schools have
given employment to many women
and girls who would have been un
employed otherwise. Since the book
binding projects started, thousands
of books have been cleaned and con
ditioned for the school libraries or
school stildents' reference files. The
library projects have also been of
much usefulness to Carteret county;
and Carteret owes it all to the WPA.
A splendid example of the varied
work being done in the county by
WPA women workers was shown i:i a
booth at the Legion fair last wetk.
It attracted more attention than any
booth in the Exhibit Hall. The splen
did booth was set up by Miss Rumley,
county supervisor of Women's Works
and Mrs. Stancil her Supervisor and
showed not only garments, but
quilts, novelties, rugs and many
other useful things baing done by
the women, including a "before and
after" display of book binding.

fort and Morehead City are tempor

GAME WARDEN IS

Hunters who go hunting for deer
and other game in Carteret county

fendant when tried before a magis
trate have been found guilty and

Flays Drunken Drivers
Judge N. A. Sinclair
In his charge to the Grand. Jury,
Judge N. A. Sinclair, a native of
Fayetteville who is presiding over
October term of coit here this
week flayed drunken drivers and the
recorders courts which let them off
with minimum sentences, fines or
whatnot. If any recorders were pres
ent at the time, they might have turn
ed red behind the ears during the
charge, but it is a situation which is
existing in many counties, the Judge
told a newspaperman later. Judge
Sinclair can trace his ancestral line
age way back to the hills of Scotland,
Oae of his favorite hobbles Is to gain
or combination pecans-Hickory nuts
off a tree on his place. They are so
large they look like miniature water
melons. Judge Sinclair has a fine rec
ord behind him and one of his big
gest achievements was to wipe out
the Ku Klux Klan in many localities,
when the organization became notor
ious a few years ago, . j
Boy With Hatchet
Kills First Bear
Thia story is too good to go
unpublished although it did
happen several weeks ago. Up
in the Newport section bears
became such a nuisance that
some of the citizens secured
permission before the season
opened to eliminate some of
the most bothersome. The meth
od employed was to use a gun
trap, which discharged a load
into the bruin who was un
lucky enough to walk into the
string. A good siaeel hear walk
ed into the trap and the load
from the gun wounded the
bear but did not kill him. Next
morning it was tracked to a
thick clump of bushes. Roland
Mann, a 11 year old boy vol
unteered to go into the brush
after the animal. He carried a
hatchet, struck the bear in the
head and then cut a notch on
the handle. It was his first bear,
according to a merchant in
Newport who told the story to
a Beaufort Newsman early this
week.
