County Commissioners let Here Wednesday Miss Margaret Clark To Remain As Home Agent Until Dec. 14 Most important of matters of gen eral interest coming to the attention of the Board of Commissioners al their meeting here on Wednesday was the verbal agreement between all concerned that Miss Margaret Clark, temporary home agent, be re tained until December 14, at which time Miss Estelle T. Smith, District Home Agent will install a new agent in the county to take charge of the Demonstration work among women of the county. The matter of a Home Agent had during the past several weeks reached a controversal stage, but realizing the importance of this work in Carteret county the Commis sioners gave what is believed will be their final decision, on Wednesday, and it will meet with the approval of all concerned it is hoped, because Home Demonstration work is conced ed to be of vast importance in this county. The home demonstration matter was the most important disposed of on Wednesday by the Board. Other things getting their attention were of a general routine natuie. Jurymen for the December term of Superior court were drawn and the names of each follow this story. Motions and orders of the board follow: Freeman Brothers were given the bid for supplying the county home during November; value of L. A.

It all came about after I had absolutely failed to mention the ap pearance of brilliant orator and Governor-elect Clyde Ruark Hoey. Leav ing him out of the paper did not seem to worry Republicans however, and since the subscription list is a bout fifty-fifty between Democrats and Republicans in this county may be half the people at any rate will forgive me for the faux pas. It was not the first time I had ever forgot ten entirely, to mention something of spot news interest, but it was the most noticeable I believe. TO BE PERFECTLY frank with everyone concerned it was purely an oversight on my part. I did not go to hear his speech on Wednesday night because that Is one night of the week when I must work in the Continued on page four "When anger comet in at tht door, wudom leapt out of tht window.''

A few precincts gave Republican major ities, but in final count the picture changed considerably. Chairman Bushall and his associates worked hard for victory, but the days of a Republican victory in Cartaret seems to be a thing of the past. Red Cross Membership Drive Begins Here On Wednesday, Nov. 11th ...... - Beginning on Armistice Day, Nov ember 11, the American Red Cross will begin its annual drive for mem berships of $1 each. A group of workers in Beaufort will help put the local drive across. The national organization receives from local chapters 50 cents of each member ship, regardless of the amount pail by the member, it was stated by Mrs. Bloodgood, chairman of the drive in Beaufort. "Only when major catastrophes strike are special contributions need ed," said Mrs. Bloodgood today, in explaining how the organization ex pended the funds received from mem bership and special drives. "When you read the horrors of a catastrophe which have overtaken your neighbors in some other city or state your sym pathetic impluse is to help. How can this help be given? How can you be sure that your contributions of money or commodities will reach the distressed? The Red Cross is your messenger of mercy. For 55 years the Red Cross flag has flown at every scene of major disaster in the United States," she stated. Courses in Home Hygiene and care of the sick instructed by graduate nurses have been sponsored by the Red Cross since 1914. Last year the courses were given in 979 chapters. "We can have the same in the Beau fort Chapter if we have enough mem berships to justify It this year," said Mrs. Bloodgood. This County By Far Largest Fishing Center By PAUL MAY Washington, D.

Carteret Democrats stuck by their colors on Tuesday and as a result Democratic candi dates, from the lowest in the county to the highest in the nation won by overwhelming1 majorities.
