Why We Lose
NO HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Carteret County will not
share in the Z. Smith Reynolds
Foundation recently given the
State of North Carolina to use
in the fight against Syphilis,
generally termed as 'the great
killer.' Neither will Carteret
county share in other public
funds and foundations which
.w ould be available if we had a
Carteret County Health De
partment. Such is the informa
tion contained in a letter re
ceived by Dr. Ben F. Royal a
few days ago from Dr. Carl V.
Revnolds, secretary of the
State Board of Health.
Excerpts from the letter rceeived
by Dr. Royal which should be of in
terest to every citizen of Carteret,
A.noninllv thnsp wh.i have tried to
induce the Board of Commissioners
to establish a full time health de
partment follows:
"De6nite plans for the expenditure
of this Fund are being studied care
fully at this department but as yet
such permanent plans hare not been
completed.
"1 am very sorry indeed that Car
teret County is not in a position to
participate in the expenditure of the
Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, Inc.,
Fund in the control and cure of syp
hilis. This Fund is to be used as a
supplementary fund in counties and
cities where there are organised
health departments and established
clinics. Of course, you realize that
this is absolutely essential when the
fund is primarily used to demonstrate

S.S.S0ULI0TISIS
ATMOREHEADCHY
Will Take Scrap Cargo
To Poland; Bestum
Sails Today
The S. S. Souliotis ot Athens.
Greece, under command of Capt.
Pet Roides. arrived at Morehead
City port terminal early Tuesday
morning from Savannah, Ga. V. H.
Smoak, port supervisor, stated that
tho vessel carried a cargo of 6,645
tons of scrap metal taken on in that
port when she entered North Car
olina's ocean terminal at Morehead
City. "'She will take on approx
imately 1,05G tons of scrap metal
here to complete her cargo before;
clearing, possibly Saturday, for
Gdynia, Poland," said Supervisor
Smoak.
The Souliotis is one of the largest
vessels to enter the new port terminal
but not the longest. Her lengtn is
400 feet. The Norwegian M. S. Vig-
rid, here during tha late summer was
415 feet long.
While one of the largest vessels
is in port at the present time, one
of the smallest under foieign reg-
istery to visit the terminals is also
here. She is the S. S. Bestum, of
Oslo. Norwav. under the command
of Capt. Raul Rasmussen, a vessel of
1,300 tons registry which is expected
to clear today for an European port
with a cargo of approximately 3,000
pounds.
This Is The Way
ToGetWPAJob
Phillip Ball, who directs the affairs
of WPA in Carteret county asked
The Beaufort News editor to try and
ovnlnin to annlicMits how they should
go about,? getting . employment -eWsr-
projects. There is naraiy a aay mat
passes but what Director Ball i be
sieged by applicancts wanting work.
Unless a person has been certified
as a relief client, he cannot work on
a WPA project. And Ball cannot
certify a person.
The applicant first applies to Mrs.
Ruth Roberts, who is the certifica
tion clerk of Carteret Welfare Dep
artment. She obtains a case history
of the applicant, and determines if
person is eligible for certification.
Then she refers her information to
Mrs. Marv Ward, for approval.
Mrs. Ward is a District certification
official.
If she approves, the applicant is
certified, and this information goes
back to Mrs. Roberts and to the app
licant, who is turned over to Mr.
Ball for a job on one of the projects
he supervises. To get a job on the
WPA a person is supposed to be on
Relief. There is much red tape to
go through before applicant becomes
eligible and before WPAman Ball
can give a person work. . . .

RULING ON PURSE
SEINING DEFERRED
But Trawlinl Will Be
Permitted By State
Residents
Contrary to the report appearing
in a News and Observer story today
which indicated that purse seining
for food fishes would be permitted
within the three mile limit territor
ial, Capt John Nelson, commissioner
of the N. C. Division of Fisheries in
Morehead City, advised The Beau
fort News that the matter as it per
tains to the proposal to permit purse
seining was deferred to the July
meeting of the board.
"The Board adopted a regulation
permitting lesident trawling inside
the three mile limit, provided boats
remain beyond three miles of any
inlet." said CaDt. Nelson. The reg.
ulation prohibiting trawling by com
mercial fish boats at. Cape Lookout
was amended to permit such trawling
from Breakwater to Bell s Island.
Walter M. Lewis heading a Car
teret county delegation of fishermen
was assured by the board members
that any change in the marketing
nroeram of the Atlantic Coast Fish
eries would be made for the purpose
of advancing the price of fish, and
that care would be exercised to pre
vent a reduction of the income of
fishermen.

Chamber Of Commerce
Gets Action Quickly
At the general meeting of The
Chamber of Commerce on Monday
night R. Hugh Hill suggested that
effort be made to get tho Carolina
Telephone and Telegraph Company
to establish a public telephone booth
in Beaufort. Rot. Louis Hayman
suggested that tho Telephone com
pany also be requrited to list the
house numbers and jiames of streets
of subscribers. Chairman Clifford
Lewis appointed Hill and Hayman a
committee to see that the matter was
attended to. . . On Tuesday morning a
wire was forwarded Vice President
Porter of the Telephone Company.
By noon he had advised . the local
manager to establish the public tele
phone booth. . . The booth will be es
tablished in Joe House Drug Store
within the next day or two. On Wed
nesday Hill and Hayman were ad.
vised that the house numbers and
streets of subscribers will be includ
ed in the next directory to bo publish
ed this year. Telephone Company
officials stated that within the next
few days subscribers would be call
ed to give their house numbers and
streets name, and the matter could
be handled more efficiently if this
information was. ready when tho sub
scriber is called.
Dean Xot's Fast Does
Not Alarm Bis Mother
While the eyes ef the world are
focused on Beaufort-born Dean Isreal
H. Noe of Memphis, Tennessee, be
cause of his absolute fast which he
hopes will prove a new "world philo.
sophy," his mother, Mrs. Susannah
Catherine Noe sits in home here at
the corner of Moore and Broad street
the biarsest news
story of its kind to ever break in the
United States.
"I believe Isreal is conscientious jn
what he is doing," says this very re
markable mother. - "And I am not
alarmed," she added. Early this
week newspapers and press agencies
wired a local correspondent that they
had been advised that Mrs. Noe was
quite alarmed over the welfare of her
fasting son, and to get an interview
if DOS ible. The Memphis Commer
cial Appeal advised the correspondent
not to press Mrs. Noe for an inter
view, if she were ill.
Mrs. Noe is not ill. For the past
several months she has been confined
to a wheel chair due to a fractured
hip received when she fell, but except
for that she is hale and hearty. "I
have heart trouble," said Mrs. Noe.
"But I never get excited, and the fast
of my son Isreal has not caused mo
to become alarmed.". One of the rea
ssons why Mrs. 'Noe has not become
alarmed is the fact that rarely does
a day pass that she deos not receive
a letter from Dean Noe. His letters
of a private nature, plainly show no
signs of nervousness or weakness on
the part of the writer.
-An Associate J Press dispatch thi
week stated: "The Very Rev. Isreal
Noe says he is enternig into a 'new
higher plane of spiritual life,' taking
his food from 'the Father's life with
in.' Due to the illness of his wife
he postponed a trip to Knoxville,
Tenn., this week.
Capt. John E. Noe, skipper of the
Beaufort Fisheries menhaden vessel
"Deuthland" seldom comments on the
fast of his brother Isreal, who has not
taken any food or drunk any wr.ter
since January 1, 1938, and who exit
ed during 1937 on oranges and the
previous year on ornges nd csliew
only. If Isrel wants to fast, that is
his business and I can't undersiand
why the newspapers have so much to
say about it," says Capt Noe.
Mrs. Noe celebrates her 87 birth
day here next Friday She is expect
ing three of her Rector sons, Rev.
Thomas Pasteur Noe, superintendent
of- the Church Home Orphanage,
York S. C. Rev. Alex C. D. Noe,
.vicar of St. Thomas church, Bath and
Rev. Walter Raleigh Noe, secretary
of the Episcopal Diocese of East Car
olina, Wilmington, to visit her on that
date.
A false alarm epidemic has been
nrevalent in Beaufort and Morehead
l City ttOttti? Sossifltwo. and
three alarm each, night are turn
ed in. Persons turning in false alarms
are committing a' serious offense
whether they know it or not. Three
boys found this out when tried be
fore Juvenile Judge L. W. Hassell on
Monday.
Hamlin Guthrie. Eueene Bell and
Ramsey Gaskill, Jr., three Morehead
City youths were apprehended as
the 'false alarmers' in Morehead
City last Saturday night. Officer Ver
non Guthrie of the Morehead City
police department proved it was these
boys with his finger print outfit. Ju
venile Judge Hassell gave the young
sters a lecture, and advised them
that if there was a vacancy in any
reformatory they would be commit
ted to same. Each of the boys were
placed on probation and if they do
not behave, they will be turned ov
er to Superior Court and Superior
Court Judges usually find a reform
atory for entering 'false alarmers.'
