Congratulations
Herbert G. Utley . .
From the very beginning last
March, the majority ot people
have predicted a short lite for
the daily newspaper vhuh
Herbert G. U jey established
taMorehead 'city to serve
that town and Beaufort, but
Herbert G. Utley has not quit.
He has stuck to what man.
people predicted would be a
total failure and now on the
eve of the first anniversary ot
Carteret's first daily, things m
general look brighter for his
newspaper. The Twin-City
Daily Times (formerly I he
Twin-Citv Herald) is getting
ahead. The best way to tell
whether a newspaper is get
ting ahead, standing still or
going backward is to ignore
the news columns and look at
the advertisements. And if you
observe closely, the advertis
ing columns of The Twin City
Daily Times, you will see that
v., logout! is crpttini better, as
the days go by, for this coastal I
daily newspaper. Herbert j. :
Utley certainly did not get ,
w.i,Vi oncnnrflffement from lo-
cal advertisers, but he stuck it ,
out ana tne ium ;n ai j
the hardest for a daily newspa-,
per. After one year, national i
advertising agencies become .
more generous with a new
daily, and no one, not ever,
the local advertisers, who
should have been taking space
in the columns of the Twin
City Daily can hold out always.
During the current year the ad
vertising from local firms
should double or treble in the
new dailv, because local firms
will begin to realize they are
dealing with a man who is no
quitter a man . who had the
intestinal fortitude to start a
'sure failure,' which has turn
ed out to be something else.
Morehead City should feel
mighty proud of having a citi
zen such as Herbert G. Utley
for a resident. And The Beau
fort News and its editor, com
petitors of a sort for Twin
City Daily Times, is happy to
congratulate Herbert G. Utley
on his first year's achievement
and wishes him an ever more
successful second year.
construction of a new federal
building in Beaufort. Reports
at that time emulating from
the Procurement Division ot
the Treasury Department indi
cated thr.t actual construction
of the building would begin on
or around .March l. m me
meantime a site was selected at
the corner of Pollock and
Front streets. But there has
been some sort of hang-up.
Just what is causing the delay,
apparently no one seems to
know. It was reported here
weeks ago that a check had
been drawn to pay for the
property on which the building
will be constructed. But so
far as can be learned by a cas
ual newspaper reporter, the
check has not parsed hands.
And its a cinch that the actual
construction of the building
will not begin on or around
March 1. The site selected is
the Duncan property. Before
actual construction can begin,
the Duncan home must be mov
ed. That is a job which will
take more than just a few days
unless there is a house-moving
company that can perform
miracles. We have the appro
priation and the assurance of
a Federal building, but some
thing, or somebody is holding
up details. And we expect to
determine whose fault it is
that the U. S. Government
has not started its building for
Beaufort which will house a
postoffice, custom collectors of
fice, and other federal agen
cies. W. H. Taylor who will
serve as custodian of the prop
erty while under construction
does not seem to know the
answer somebody does know
the answer and readers of this
newspaper will have the facts
in our next edition.

What Has Happened To
The New Federal Ouliding?
The above caption is a ques
tion frequently heard on the
streets of Beaufort recently.
Last year Congressman Gra
ham A. Barden secured an ap
propriation of $118,000 for the
nesdav afternoon at 5 o'clock. She
was 53 years of age.
Besides her husband William
Whitehurst she is survived by three
daughters and two sons. They are:
Mrs. Martin Bennett, Wilmington;
Mrs. G. L. Bennett, Wilmington and
Miss Julia Whitehurst of Beaufort.
Harry and Norman Whitehurst the
surviving sons are both residents of
Beaufort.

old fort was partially restored
and opened to the public. But
better late than never. In old
Fort Macon, Carteret county
has one of the most historic
structures along the North
Carolina coast. The property,
originally owned by the Fed
eral government was turned
over to the State of North Car
olina. The State of North Car
olina did nothing about it, so
later the Federal government
through its CCC units restored
the structure. Prior to that
time another Federal project
in a CWA road was completed
leading to the site of the fort.
Then it was all given back to
North Carolina. Frequently
we wrote editorials about a
State which had had some
thing given to it, but which did
not appreciate the gift enough
to build an all weather road to
Fort Macon. Probably our ed
itorials did not result in the
improvements now underway.
That is not essential. What we
are glad to write about at this
time is that the State is improv
ing the road to old Fort Macon
and that by summertime it will
be paved and ready to be used
by thousands of tourists who
will be driving to the coast.

birds alive, it was stated here this
week by Capt. Godwin, official war
den of the National Audubon Assoc
iation. The fire-lane would come as a
federal project of somekind, it is be
lieved, or the work may be done by
the Audubon society. The Lenox
ville Heron and Egret rookery is one
of the most important known to Audu
bon officials, and for that reason
they plan to make every effort to
protect the birds from any possible
harm during the nesting and breed
ing season which is fiom May until
August.
Capt. Godwin has been warden of
the rookery for several years. In
1935 he was unable to check a woods
fire which started southeast of the
rookery, and as a result the flames
spread and it was estimated at the
time that thousands of birds, mostly
little fellows of the nestling age,
were literally baked aiive. The trag
edy of 1935 was given wide publi
city throughout the nation.
At that time it was uncertain
whether the birds would return to
the same location during 1936.
They did come however, and last
year no harm came to them. But
officials who have to do with pro
tecting birdlife are anxious for additional-
protection for this impor
tant rookery and as a result efforts
are being made to get a project thro
ugh some federal source to have the
fire lane constructed.
