AS THANKSGIVING DAY has
become an occasion for thanks for
individual benefits and blessings, In
dependence Day has become a time
for stock-taking of national gains
and losses. Keeping in mind that it
was the men from the farms who
turned back the redcoats and gave
America its freedom, it seems prop
er now to consider the status of the
farmer today in our country's march
of progress. And to do so clearly
shows that while the economic po
sition of farmers generally has been
considerably improved, the men and
women who till the soil have not shar

by Norfolk-Southern Railroad
company. Mr. Crowell will
also be manager of the new
organization which has pur
chased the trackage for the
sum of $15,800.
The organization of the new cor

Fifty Laborers Start
Grading Front Street
Fifty WPA laborer were placed
on the Front Street Extension pro
ject today, which when completed
will eive Beaufort a Waterfront
drive starting at Duncan Green and
ending at Community Center. The
work will run over period of six
months if necessary, but local WPA
officials believe that the extension
will be completed within four
months. The employees working
there today are engaged in 'fine
grading.' Culverts will be or have
been ordered and in the meantime
arrangements will be made to have a
barce brine shells from a Core
Sound point which will be used as
base for the asphalt street. With the
completion of this street Beaufort
will have an opportunity to grow to-
wards the eastward. Heretofore it
has been difficult to induce outsiders
to build because waterfront locations
were lacking. Adjacent to Front
Street extension will be numbers of
building site available and already
there arc several people here plan
ning to build home along the route.

morning they fully realized
that facing them was two days
with the most perplexing and

a budget, final settlement ot
the revaluation of property,
the appointment of a county at

a new county tarm agent.
After many hour3 of discussion
concerning the new refinancing plan
the plan was adopted. This will be
forwarded to the bond committee
for their consideration and adop

A Wild Bear Tried
Out Civilization Here
A wild bear from some nearby
forest paid an early morning visit to
Beaufort today and found civilized
people rather unfriendly. After the
bear sampled the taste of three or
four chickens in the back yard of
Mrs. Garner, he went into" the back
yard of Louis B. Willis, local seafood
dealer and turned over a number of
tubs searching for more Vhickens or
whatever might be under ibem. In
the meantime Chief of Police Walter
F. Longest received a call that a
wild bear was on a rampage in the
northwest section of Beaufort. Be
fore Chief Longest arrived however,
the citizens of that section had start
ed the bear moving towards the mid
dle marshes across the Beaufort Chan
nel. He trotted along the railroad
track until he reached the draw
bridge which was open, and then
jumped overboard. When last seen
the bear was headed across the marsh
es la a general direction of Russell's
Creek. Whether he was able to nav
igate the somewhat wider channel
north of the marshes which separate
same from the forests beyond, could
not be determined.
