THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1937 Carteret Recorders " Court On The Spot ; Following a meeting of the board of commissioners on Monday and Tuesday of last weelc the minutes revealed that unless the Carteret Recorders Court became self-sustaining instead of the drain it has been on the county treasury in the past, it would be discon tinued. Such a recommenda tion was made last year when the auditor untangled the fi nancial records of the county. .Whether the Board of Commis sioners will carry out their threat and discontinue the Re corders Court if it doe not go on a paying basis, we are at loss to say. We are at loss to say whether it is even legal for them to make such a move. Creation of Recorders Court in Carteret eliminated one term of Superior . Court per year. Whether that means anything from a financial sav ing, we cannot say and on this sultry August afternoon when the majority of business men and court officials are enjoying a half holiday, it is impossible determine" the average an nual profit or loss of Recorders Court operation in Carteret. If Recorders Court operates at a continual loss, probably the best thing to do would be to abolish it yet we do not know what the results would be then. Maybe if the opera tors of Recorders Court take the Commissioners seriously they will probably make an ef fort to make it a more profit able judiciary department. r- ' about the rookery and the birds. An example of the wide spread interest was shown in a letter received by the editor this week from Miss Elsie G. Cambridge of Spuyten Duyvil Parkway in New York City. Part of her letter follows: "Have you been able to make any arrangements for the permanent protection of the Beaufort Rookery? I be lieve that Mr. Holmes, state forester, was interested in trying to do something. Per haps he has already talked to you about it. One of the chief reasons why I am personally in terested in seeing the National Seashore proposal go through is because it would mean a large section of your Outer Coast would become a sanctu ary for birds and animals. You have a beautiful state, with resources, but after making a survey of wildlife conditions I could not help but conclude that you badly need a live or ganization to rally public sup port in behalf of better protec tion for your many interesting and valuable forms of bird and animal life." an incorporated one. However, it has depended on the Federal government for loans to keep going, stating to the benefactor that it is developing the industry ani stabilizing prices for fishermen and individual fish deal ers along this section of the coast. Far from that purpose the individ uals state the Fisheries has been us ing the money of the Federal gov ernment to develop into a strong competitor. They say that the Fish eries first bought at a low price to force individual dealers out and had then set its own price, selling the fish in the same territory the little dealers had been working. This is one project where the Fed eral government had best stop its lending and nivestigate the type of organization before sponsoring it further. (New Bern Tribune). Time For The , Farmers To Act It is time for the farmers of Carteret county and every oth er truck producing area to act. This season has been one cf the poorest eyer experienced by truck farmers. Due to low prices the pota to season was a flop almost from the very beginning. Here in Carteret many farmers had devoted acreage to tomatoes to euDDlement their potatoes. Unfavorabls weather" caused green tomatoes to become dry rotted before they were ready to pick and the yield fell off. For a few days while the Auc tion Market was operating farmers in Carteret were paid the best prices they had ever received for this crop but in stead of substantial rains, only 6b?6wers came 2nd then hot sunshine. With the "end oi the green-pack season heavy rains came, ana ruined tue npes. A farmer can do little about the weather-other than talk about it to a great extent. And the advices of no living mortal can change the weather situation. But living mortals, and we mean the farmers, can .start mass meeting now and discussing their next year's crops. The only people who made any money this year were the fertilizer contractors. They might deny the state ment, but it is the truth. If every grower of truck produce would eet together and re solve not to get sewed up un der contracts with fertilizer dealers the situation might im prove. Farmers should put treir County Agents on the spot now and through his co operation map out a program for another year. That is his job. A. & N. C. Railroad Improving Business Five months' income of the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad, it was announced the other day, is $55,000 above the income for the same period in 1936, and for the past few months the port at Morehead City has been paying its own way if not making a profit. The two properties are closely in terlinked in management and interests. Development of both the railroad and the port must come slowly. But the fact ought not to be overlooked that both are providing em ployment far a large number of persons in this section of eastern North Carolina while that development is taking place and that, according to the recent statements, losses are not being incurred. Future development need not be lost sight of, but there have been few times when employment at non-charity jobs was more needed and more welcomed in eastern North Carolina than during the past year or two. The most deserving of eastern North Carolina's needy have always been willing to work when there was work which could be done. As both the port and the railroad develop they are go ing to become more valuable to all this section and to North Carolina. Direct benefits are the first to be noticed. Indirect benefits will come in the shane of shipping advantages, better freight rates and better mar Kers ior jNortn uaroiina pro duce, iney win reach a much wider citizenship than do the direct benefits.
