Already thousands of tourists and vaca tionists have come to the beach es and the famed fishing wa ters of this coastal section this While Atlantic Beach has not yet formally opened, the I cool clean sun 01 tnai reson has been the principal attrac tion to pre-season visitors to Carteret. The Beach will for mally open on next Tuesday. In the meantime dozens of summer residents who have cottages and homes here have moved to the coast. Simultaneously with the formal opening of Atlantic Beach Hotel on Tuesday, Jimmy Livingston and His Hotel Charlotte orchestra will open at Atlantic Beach Casino. From June 1 until Labor Day with the excep tion of Sundays there will be dances presented in the Casino each night to the tunes of Livingston's 11-piece orchestra. Already the bath houses on Atlan tic Beach are open. Last week-end (Continued on page five) Covering The WATER FRONT By AYCOCK BROWN THE GOOD WOMEN of Beaufort deserve a lot of credit for that splen did Gray Moss Night Club they stag ed in Beaufort Community Center Auditoroium last Friday night. Ap proximately 150 meals were served delicious meals and throughout the evening some mighty good Night Club entertainment was presented a long with dancing by the audience. I have yet to see a person who attend ed say they did not have a good time and that they thoroughly enjoy ed the evening .... And the Bingo Game with Stanley Woodland as mas ter of Ceremonies was also a success. CAPT. WILLIAMS of the M. S. Dolius tells me that when a Chinese sailor makes up his mind to jump ship when in an American port he does it, regardless of all the guards and special police that might be on dutv to nrevent just that. One Chi nese member of the crew jumped ship in New York. Last night in Morehead City two more made their escape. Only 15 remain aboard the vessel. The Chinese are usually em ployed as oilers aboard a British ves. sel although they also make splendid assistants in the Stewards depart ment of a ship. ONE CANNOT REALIZE the mag nitude of Carteret' truck farming industry until they have seen the ac tivity in the potato, beaa and eab hage fields east and north of Beau fort at this season. I did not realize the number of people who are given employment on farms until I aaw some 200 or more field laborers har vesting beans for the Gibbs brothers this week. And every potato field at this season is a scene of much activ ity ... . The Carteret flower indus try continues brisk This week an extra express car was placed in ser vice from Beaufort to take care of the heavy shipments. Summer Ferry Schedule to H. I. TWinnW Tuesdav. June 1st., the schedule of the Harkers Island ferry will be changed for the summer, to follow the following schedule: Lv. Island Lv. Gloucester ...8:00 AM 9:00 AM 12:00 Noon 1:00 PM 3:00 PM 4:00 PM 6:00 PM 6:30 PM If ferry is loaded extra runs will be made, it was stated. Puesday Fir it Cero The first Cero of the season to be taken with rod and reel was caught near Cape Lookout Tuesday by J. H. Giles of Phil adelphia. Fishing with H. P. Snyder, also of Philadelphia, a board the charter boat Sea Queen of Beaufort, under the command of Capt. Robert Hud gins and guided by Cooch Chad wick this party also landed 75 blues and two bonito. A pecu liarity about Cero, sometimes called "Florida Kingfish" is that they are never taken by anglers with rod and reel north of Cape Lookout, although in the past at tempts have been made to catch them in Ocracoke and Hatters waters. The Cero taken Tues day weighed approximately 18 pounds, said Guide Chadwick as he streched out his arms to de scribe to a reporter the length of the fish. LANG'S THEATER TO HAVE COOL AIR Healthful New System Will Be Installed At Early Date A Kooler-Aire refrigeration system has been purchased by Beaufort Theatre and will be installed at an early date," according e announce ment made today by Manager Robert W. Lang. This will give Beaufort Theatre the distinction of being the only theatre in Carteret county with such a cooling system. It will mean that Beaufort Theatre will be the coolest spot in the county on the warm days of summer, many degrees cooler than outside temperatures. "The Kooler-Aire is an evapora tive or 'washed' cooling system which will circulate 100 per cent fresh air through Beaufort Theatre, at a rate which gives a complete change of air every three minutes," said Mr. Lang. In describing the apparatus further he said:" As this air comes in it passes through an air washer, which takes out dust, smoke, odors and re duces the dry bulb temperature, so that the air feels cool and refresh ing to the audience. "This air is forced through suit able ducts by the blower, and at the grille openings into the audience room and is scientifically directed & diffused by a patened dual deflector, so that every seat receives a gentle, pleasing air motion, with no uncom fortable drafts anywhere. The new equalizer will enable us to use the Kooler-aire system for perfected air conditioning the year around," said Mr. Lang. A big advantage of the system, to be installed is that the hotter the day, the greater is the temperature reduction and the cool ing effects it will give. New Menhaden Craft Attracts Attention The "Charlie Mason," newest ves sel in the J. Howard Smith menhaden fleet attracted considerable atten tion when she tied up for several hours Wednesday enroute from Flor ida to New Jersey. The 125-foot ves sel has a 22 foot beam and is power ed by a Fairbanks-Morse motor. She is named for her skipper, Capt. Char lie Mason of Beaufort. The boat was built by Julius H. Whitehurst of Beaufort and launched five weeks ago at Fernandina, Fla. He is bulid ing at present a sister ship to the craft which will be the twentieth in the J. Howard Smith fleet. From here the vessel sailed for Fort Mon mouth, N. J., where J. Howard Smith interests have a fish scrap and oil company, one of seven owned by his firm. Two of the factories are locat ed in Carteret county.

The picturesque structure is 163 feet high and has for many years warned passing coast wise vessels away from Lookout Shoals. Within a radius of 15 miles of this structu:e is the biggest va ety of game fishing along the east or west coast of America. Almost within her shadows are caught such species as Spanish mackerel, Cero or Florida Kingfish, Blues, Hatteras Blues, Gray trout or weakfish, speck led trout, flounder, hog-fish, bonito, croaker, seamullet, and channel bass, Ten miles off shore along the west ern edge of the Gulf Stream have been caught amberjack and dolphin. Waiting to be caught off there in the Stream are marlin swordfish, sailfish and large tuna. Along Lookout shoals are frequently sighted tarpon and cavalla, and small tuna have been taken there with roi and reel. . , At the breakwater extending from the Cape the waters arel iterally alive with sea bass and sheepshead. fany game species of shark' vliaye .Jbeen 11 Two ChineseSaiiofs Jump Ship oAt Morehead Port Terminal Custom Officials, Immigration Police Notified To Be City and mounted police in tint and adjoining states were notified early today to be on the lookout for two Chinese sailors who escaped from the Motorship Dolius at Morehead City Port Terminal last night. Their names are Wu Shan and Tsang Shin, ages 30 and 32 and they hail from Canton. Since the British motorship reached port last week Morehead City Special Po lice, employed by the master of the vessel have been on guard duty to prevent any of the 17 Chinese aboard from escaping. As the owners had employed special police, one for day duty, Cedar Island Native Made Highest Grades In State Nurse Exam. Miss Eunice Avon Goodwin, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Levi J.

Two units of the Federal govern ment besides the Lighthouse Service have units there; the U. S. Coast Guard and the U. S. Naval Direction Finder Radio Station. Cape Lookout is the best bet along the Atlantic Coast for some enterprising person who wishes to build a small inn or hotel and cater to sports fishermen, because it is in the center of the best fishing grounds in America. The lo cality is frequently in the news dur ing tho summer months due to sports fishing activities. A few days ago Cape Lookout was again in the news when U. S. Army Engineers approv ed a proposed waterway 1 project which will when completed premit navigation by small boats from the Bight on the ocean side to the bay in protected waters of Core Sound. Soon this work will begin, work which will mean much to commercial fish ermen and navigation interests gen erally. Officers and City and On Lookout For Aliens State and two for night duty, as a pre cautionary measure, it is under derstood that the Alfred Holt or Blue Funnel Line will not be re sponsible for the escape or charged with permitting Orien tal aliens to enter the United States. This will save the own ers $1,000 per Chinese the bond that must be placed on vessels carrying aliens hailing from Chi na, it is understood. In addition to notifying all police in this and adjoining states to be on the lookout for the Chinese sailors who jumped ships, Immigration and Customs officials were also notified. Albert Turf Gets Unusual Speciman For His Aquarium Albert Turf, Warren Thrift, Gene Brown and Harold Brown came to Beaufort last week end for the fish ing. On Sunday aboard the charter boat Sea Queen v ith Capt. Robert Hudgins, Cooch Chadwick and Ay cock Brown the party trolled in wa ters adjacent to Cape Lookout and caught two Spanish Mackerel, two bonito and 20 or more blue fish. Al bert Tuft, however, was more inter ested in another kind of fishing. In his home at Chapel Hill he has a big collection of tropical fishes. Ho is champion tropical fish fan of the college town. Recently he has be come interested in experiments of keeping salt water fish alive in home aquariums. His first specimens taken off the coast of Georgia recently died after he had kept them for two weeks. But he did not give up and with additional information on how to keep the tiny salt water species a- live, he came to Beaufort and thence to Cape Lookout for new stock. Down at Cape Lookout he caught a variety of species in the shallow water near the government pier. With a dip-net near the outer tip of Lookout Breakwater, he caught some drifting gulf weed and discovered a very rare speciman of Sargassum fish walking around on same. About an inch and a half in length th curious speciman pleased tropical fish fan Tuft and when he left Beaufort it was in a large jar, still alive Digging 2000 Cases The new canning plant now under construction and nearing completion at Marshallberg will have a capacity of 2,000 cases per day when operations begin, said Carroll Crockett of Cris field, Maryland, who visited Car teret this week. Mr. Crockett is building the plant. It will be ready for operation by the time tomatoes get ripe in late June, he stated. If the supply of toma toes hold up for capacity opera tion of the plant, approximately 150 persons, mostly women will be given employment, it wa3 stated. Following the tomato packing season the plant will be used to pack and can various kinds of seafood. This is one of several canning plants in the country operated by the Crock etts of Crisfield. GOLF CLUB DUES SHOULD BE PAID Playing Is Permitted On Part Of Links At This Time All prospective members of the newly organized Gulf Stream Golf Club are urged to pay their initial membership now to Bill Mace, treas urer of the Club. Playing is permit ted on several fairways"of the links at the present time and additional holes will be open within the next week or two, it was stated by Phillip Ball, who is supervis'r the construc tion of the course. Only a few members have paid their dues to date. A list of approx mately 125 prospective members have been turned into the Clug tres ials, many of whom are playing reg urer, many on the partially completed links at present. The initial dues are $4.50 which pays for the month of June and the months of January and February 1938. Membership dues are payable monthly in advance. Any member who fails to pay by the 10th of the preceding month will be posted. It has been agreed that during June all persons who have not joined the club must pay the green fees of 75 cents per day. This green fee permits the golfer to play as many rounds as he or she desires, or from sunrise to sunset if the party playing so wishes. Bids For Federal Building Will Be Let About July 1st. Bids for Beaufort's new $118,000 Federal building will be let on or a bout July 1, it was reported here this week. The appropriation for the new building was secured for Beau fort by Representative Graham A. Barden last year from the Deficiency Bill. It is understood that Procurement Division architects of the Federal gov ernment in Washington have almost completed the plans for the building. It will be of architecture to conform with other Colonial architecture prev alent in Beaufort. When completed the building w'll house the postoffice now located ii leased quarters at the corner of Front and Craven street. It will also house the office of the Deputy Collec tor of Customs and other federal a gencies. Already the government has purchased a site at the southeast corner of Pollock Street at Front for the building. This site has been cleared and is ready for actual con struction of the building to begin. MARRIAGE LICENSE Albert Goodwin, Roe, N. C, and Marian Smith, Lola, N. C.

Gordon Lewis, Morehead City and Mary Ella Golden, Atlantic, Spu d S EXPECT TO SHIP 300 CARLOADS THIS YEAR Approximately 1,700 Acres Of Potatoes To Be Harvested OTHER VEGETABLES ARE SHIPPED DAILY Growers in Carteret county who have this year devoted ap proximately 1,700 acres to Ir ish Potatoes started digging early this week. The eight bar rels harvested from one bar rel planted yield which has been averaged is below nor mal, but the quality has been very good. The price early this week of $3 per barrel was con sidered fairly good by local shippers. During the next three weeks from 250 to 300 solid car loads of potatoes will leave Beaufort by rail for mar kets located principally in northern cities. George W. Huntley one of the heavy Irish potato shippers of Car teret stated that approximately 90 per cent of the total crop would be shipped via railway freight. , , The subnormal yk this season might have its good effect, according to the opinion of Mr. Huntley. It might prevent the glutted markets which had been anticipated whea larger acreage was planted in pota toes throughout the eastern section of this and other states. ( Continued on page eight) Fishing And ALL Ot TDOORS By AYCOCK BROWN THERE IS NO finer fishing and no larger variety of game fish anj where along the coast than found in the waters within or adjacent to Car teret county. Anglers have found this to be be true during the past several days. All parties from boats in the bay or out at Cape Lookout have been making good catches. The Blues are running that is something you can write your friends who are planning to come to the Carteret coast for the bluefishing. And there are other species running. EARLY THIS week the first Cero of the season was landed. That will be news to the angler who want some real sport with a fast fighting streamlined beauty. Several Bonitg were taken last Sunday down in Cap Lookout waters and also some Span ish Mackerel. The mackerel are run ning a bit small in size, but it is still a bit early for the big ones, (continued on page five) TIDE TABLE Information as tv the tide at Beaufort is given in this column.
