Inn. ins Dnei lam ta in
tensely interesting not only to
the small group of local Rotes
but the invited guests and the
visitors from the Morehead
City Club who were present.
During the past several months
the Beaufort club has been more or j
less inactive, and it was for the pur
pose of regaining interest that Pres
ident Graham Duncan of the local
Club invited District Governor Park

Governor Park told many inter
esting stories, stories which hinged
around Rotary and the aims of this
organization which was established
about 30 years ago in Chicago and

today there are approximately 185

trip to the Rotary International con

f ALL OUTDOORS
By AYCOCK BROWN
rar Rin fiAME season has start
ed in Carteret county and this year
the 'big game' is more numerous than
ever before. Having something to do
with this might be the fact that dur
ing the past summer or early autumn
there have been no serious forest
fires to bake young fawnfi or roast
young bear cubs. Anyway, the 'big
jame' hunting in Carteret this sea
eon is very good, and as this is writ
ten, our nearest contemporary comes
fcy to ask the linotype operator whom
we have borrowed for a day or two
to hurry home tonight for a bear
.steak supper. Personally I prefer
venison, and unless some of my good
friends, or acquaintances at any rate,
down Atlantic way, or out in the
Open Grounds bring some venison
along pretty soon, I will begin to
think that I am an unpopular soul.
BIGGEST GAME of the week was

PLACE
.f BY
UNITED STATES SENATOR
By Senator Robert R. Reynolds
Some time aeo several of my col
leagues, including a veteran of many
many years service in the Senate,
were discussing the new responsi
bilities imposed upon Senators, in
face of the fact that the constitution
al Hutips have remained unchanged.
One reason, of course, is the great
expansion of Federal activities and
the spread of these activities m tne
tates. Another is the direct election
of Senators which has served to bring
them closer to their constituents than
was the case in earlier days when
members of the Senate were elected
by Legislatures.

CAPTAIN BEN Harris who re

probably the last man living today
who spoke to the crew of the Carroll
A. Deering, 5-masted schooner which
foundered on Diamond Shoals in 1920
with all sails flying, but without a
living soul aboard. The foundering
of the Deering and what became of
her crew is still an unsolved mys

Banks she is still called the 'ghost

ONE AFTERNOON during the
