THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1937 It Could Happen Here There will be many who might not agree with the state ment but the same conditions now prevailing in the flooded Ohio and Mississippi valleys could happen here in Carteret. As a matter of fact similar conditions have happened here instead oi nooa waters irom excessive rains and snows, however, our Hoods have come from the ocean's tides pushed landward by West Indian hur ricanes. Most all of us remem ber September 1933, when it was the Carolina coast which suffered as the result of abnor mal flood tides and winds. Most all of us remember how the Rprl Onss stpnnprl in nnH aided our stricken people. But with us it was only a few hun dred people who were in dire need as a result of the hurri cane and tides. Out there in the middle-west where rivers are on a rampage, there are hundreds of thousands of home less people, and they need our aid. That is why we are all giving freely to the Red Cross. mat is wny uarteret countv THE BEAUFORT NEWS THURSDAY. JANUARY 28. 1937 Our contention had always been that the stream was less man miles trom Cape Look out during the summer, 'Gulf ttream fishing months. We sought authentic information through Senator R. R. Rey nolds office in Washington. His office wus advised by the Coast and Geodtic Survey authorities mat me stream is approximate ly 20 nautical miles from Cape Lookout or approximately 30 miles from Beaufort and More City. So to prove our conten tion has been right during these two years that we have played up the Gulf Stream and the excellent sports fishing to be had in that vicinity. Our Mail Box GETTING RID OF ROBBERS Editor of The News: I am a constant reader of The Beaufort News and I look forward each week for the mails to bring me my copy. Being a former resident of your fair city for a number of years I consider it mv home town and am expecting to reside there a gain in the near future. Naturally I am interested in the affairs and and conditions that involve Beaufort and Carteret County. In the last issue ol your paper, dated 21 January under the heading, "Beaufort Has Become A Robbers' Paradise," and from this article and many others that I have read in the past, the residents of Beaufort nav become victims of an organized law breaking ring or what is termed in the larger cities as the "Under World." It seems that either the au thorities are lacking in facilities or are not attempting to curtail this se rious conditions. Such conditions have been totally wiped out in towns that are smaller than Beaufort and they did not have the opportunities that Beaufort has, therefore, it can we may apply it in a local situation Sincerely yours, Talbot Patrick. Goldsboro Pub. Co., Ed. Note: The case brought by Beaufort News Inc., in be half of the citizens of Carteret against Carteret commissioners was thrown out of court in Greenville last week due to fail ure of plaintiffs appearing.

We of this area know that the same thing could happen here, or very similar conditions, at any rate and that is why we are anxious to heln nur npio-Vihnvs there in the middle west where 'old man river' has caused the largest property damage in American history. In Times Of Plenty Prepare For Famine Of course it is too late to do anything about it now, but if the AAA had not curtailed crop production a few years back, and instead, in those days of plenty stored commodi ties instead of plowing same under, said commodities would come in mighty handy for the river country of the middle west at the Dresent timo Tn England they will store surplus commodities in abandoned coal mines, to be used if and when the country is facing a famine as a result of War or the wrath of Nature.. This editor could never understand why it was necessary to plow up crops, or to curtail the raising of pigs by farmers even when the farmers were profiting from such an arrangement at the time. Maybe America will learn a lesson from England. Maybe in the future America, or these United States at any rate, will not force farmers to plow up their crops and start! raising only a limited number of pigs. Maybe America will become wise and store her sur- DIUS food in UnHorirrAiinJ vaults just as she stores her surplus gold in an under ground vault out at Fort Knox Ky. A lesson in economy and thnftyness in its relation to food stuffs and other necessary commodities should be taught the people of this land.

As a matter of fact it was this same secretary who in the role of coastal correspondent had written column after column of news during the past two years about the Gulf Stream, -and its nearness to the coast.1 In making my expression clear, take for instance th;? lecent robbery of the Beaufort Chain Stove, where afterwards the safe was found with all of its contents in it with the ex ception of several hundred dollars Now if Beaufort had spent a small amount of money in employing & Finger Print Expert or a Plain Cloth es Detective, there is no doubt that the Chain Store Thief would have been caught and therefore stopping uie roDDenes that have occurred since that time. From the circum stances of that robbery, it is plain to see thatt he Chain Store Thief left behind him enough evidence to identify and convict the guilty par ty or parties. It may be that the authoritips in Beaufort do not know that they can employ a Finger Print Expert and Detective as a regular Policeman at the same rate of pay as any member of the present Police Force. There fore, with these facilities availahlo there is no reason why Beaufort can not be rid of the majority or all of its crime. Now, let's let the people of Beau, fort decide what they are going to do about protecting their lives and their property. Don't wait until to- morrow or the next week to make this decision but decide now before this dangerous state of affairs con tinues indefinitely. If it is desired, I will be only too glad to make some suggestions and give some informa tion on this subject through the ueauiort JNews. Sincerely, A FRIEND. Washington, D. C. Jan. 25, 1937. (Editor's Note: The going letter was signed Fried." The newspaper is lating a usual rule regarding anonymous letters in publishing same, as we usually require the signature of the wrnter. There is nothing in the letter which anyone (except perhaps the rob bers) can take offense at and it is being publishej unanymously because it is a very timely sub ject and one which should be helpful to all persons who wish to solve the frequent robberies which are occurring not only in Beaufort, but at Morehead City and other Carteret commu nities. It is being published not with the thought of casting crit icism on local or county author ities! instead it is being pub lished with a helpful purpose in view. A.B.) Editor of The News: Beaufort has always had schools and educated neoDle. The first sr-Vinni of importance was run by Rev. Van Antwerp and Miss Betty Robinson around a hundred years ago in the building now called the Masonic hall The next school of recollection was carried on by Mr. Manson, the fath er of Misses Emma and Etta Manson of this town. In 1873 Mr. Robert Chadwick taught a private school. Next came Miss Lila Potter, Miss Julia Green and Miss Julia Reed who all taught private schools. A public school was conducted by Mr. Levi Rowland in the Masonic lodge (now H. C. Jones' residence). Later this school was taught by Miss Cinderilla Pool, Professor Spillman and Prof essor Hill. Private schools were al so conducted during this period, two of which were conducted by Mr. George Arlington (father of Mv Lou Arlington), and Miss Emma Manson. Miss Manson took the late Mrs. Nannie P. Geffroy in partner ship and St. Paul's S chool was de veloped. Miss Manson later resigned and it was carried on by Mrs. Geffroy un til her recent death. Sincerely Miss Sallie Phelps. Beaufort, N. C. Jan. 26, 1937.

One Person's Opinion On Works Progress Editor of The News: The way the women of Carteret county have been treated bv thp WPA of Williamston, N. C, is a dis grace to the President and the Unit ed States. The work would have been carried on in a much more hon est manner had a woman not been put on as supervisor. A man would never treat a woman like a snob of a woman will treat them. Just be cause one woman is getting more money than another she is no better than the one who is getting less. If it is relief for one its relief for an other, but the supervisors don't call it relief, they say they are working for the government.

From Fort Macon the motor life boat now in the flood area is manend by Boatswain Elmo Stewart and surf man I. N. Lewis and Carl Willis.

If that is not a disgrace to the WPA will tell the Owl what would be. Such women as Linsey Warren has put on the WPA in Beaufort County, the President or Mrs. Roose velt with their great human hearts, would never employ women of that type. The woman who closed the sewing room last fall, said that sew ing rooms were not much in the pres ident s favor yet they are putting white women in public buildings to scrub floors. Every one working in the office at Williamston should be put out and ne.v ones put in their place then maybe Carteret county would get a fair deal. A town with a popula tion of more than 3,000 population and less than thirty women working on the WPA. This is where Carter et county misses her grand and loy al son Charles L. Abernethy, had he been here he would have seen that the President's objectives would have been carried out, as he said in his fiireside chats that he wanted to put the needy and unemployed to work. He did not mean married women either who had husbands with good jobs and sons in college, using their given names to get on the WPA in stead of their husband's names. W hen the sewing rooms closed last full the women appealed to Congress man Barden and they each received a letter from him saying that some would be done about it. hut. if so that no one has the power to undo what one woman did.
