Scarboro-Safrit Lumber Company Fill Big Orders East Carteret's Big Mill Pay-Roil Will Not Be Cut-Off n- R. Wr Sfrit Sy That Rumor Plant Will Close Are False Rumors around town recently have indicated that Scarboro-Safrit Lum ber Company would close down for an indefinite period at an early date. The Beaufort News interested in Car teret county pay-rolls started an in vestigation just as soon as the news was received at our editorial offices, Our investigation reveals that the rumors or reports that this organiza tion which employs or gives employ ment to 150 or more persons in Beau fort and East Carteret county wouia close down are FALSE. Scarboro-Safrit Lumber Company nf Carteret County is an organization which represents a capital investi- ment of approximately ?lZD,ouu. i Less than three months ago this or ganization purchased approximately $35,000 in additional Carteret coun ty property. This additional proper ty consisted of timber acreage located in East or North-East Carteret, and brought the total now owned by Scarboro-Safrit Company to approx imately 8,000 acres or more. The foregoing paragraph does not include the actual mill properties of the organization which were apraised at $85,000 or more just a few months ago. These mill properties located on the Lenoxville road adjacent to Beaufort operate every day except Sunday in the manufacture of Lum ber and give employment to approx imately 85 persons. Although the re mainder of approximately 65 persons who gain a livelihood from Scarboro Saf rit operation are not on the actual pay-rolls of the mill, they would not have jobs if it were not for Scarboro Safrit Lumber Company. Scarboro Safrit Lumber Company will not, or is not proposing to close at this time or no early date for the following reasons. They have an or- Local Red Cross President Roosevelt Writes Of Extreme Distress Money Contributed Will Not Help Win War But Will Help Innocent Chinese Citizens An onnpnl fnr funds to be used for the relief of millions nf niiffprino- men. women and children in China was made tndav hv T)r.

As the announce ment was made on Wednesday an of ficial of N. C.

Seely who jointly are the contractors of 17 units of . Resettlement projects at Washinston county at the present thne.-C Scarboro Safrit Lum ber Company are also completing an order for the Kinston Ball Park which called for 50,000 feet of Lum ber. Up at Tillery where another Resettlement project is underway, Scarboro Safrit Company is furnish ing the mouldings and finish for quite a number of houses that are to be built. And the foregoing are only good size jobs away from this county which Scarboro Safrit Company are furnishing material for..here in Car teret their retail trade is now and has. been for some time exceptionally; good. Scaiboro-Safrit in supplying the Retail Trades furnishes paints, lumber, bricks, windows, doors, sashes and other building material. Scarboro Safrit Lumber Company established a plant in Carteret county in 1931. Prior to coming to Car teret the Scarboro Safrit Company in Montgomery County operated a plant valued at over $100,000. Tneir local plant is also valued at above this figure. In Carteret county they (Scarboro- Safrit Company) have made money, so there is no reason why they should close down their local plant. For quite sometime Scarboro Saf rit's payroll has been the most substantial in Carteret coun ty. As a result of their operations a minimum of 150 persons have gain ed a livihood for themselves or their families since 1931. R. W. Safrit is manager of the local plant and part owner of the Scarboro Safrit Lumber Companies in Carteret and Montgomery Coun ties. In the operation of the plants he is associated with his brothers Clar ence, Harvey and Steffy Safrit. In addition to their Lumber p'ants they own at Troy, N. C. an ice p'.ant valu ed at several thousands dollars. Here in Beaufort R. W. Safrit is assisted in the operation of his plant by his sons Robert and Leonard and a veiy efficient office Secretary Miss Zelma Jarvis.

Beaufort Born Dean Noe Improves After Twenty-One Day Fast Latest reports from Memphis in dicate that Beaufort born, former Dean larael Noe. is recovering nice ly from his recent 21 day fast which brauffht about his collapse a few days ago. He is now in a Memphis hospital and under special treatment of feedini has gained six pounds since he was taken to the hospital Sundav nisht. In the meantime, Mrs Susannah C. Noe, of Beaufort, moth er of Dean Noe, still says that she believes her son Israel was conscien tious in what he was doing and that developments brought about by his dismissal from St. Mary's Cathedral probably caused his collapse earlier than would have been otherwise. Tomorrow, Friday, January 28, Mrs. Noe celebrates her 87th birthday. She is expecting her sons Rev. Walter Noe of Wilmington and Rev. Alex C. D. Noe of Bath here for the occa sion and probably Rev. Thomas Noe of York, S. C. Naturally her son John, skipper of ' the Deatchland with whom she lives will take part in the celebration. Will Fight Proposal To Change Mail Route Beaufort Chamber of Commerce and Carteret county business inter ests will fight the proposal to change the route of Ocracoke-Atlantic daily mailboat to Ocracoke-Swanquarter. It was reported here this week that such a proposal was now under con sideration. Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce here immediately wir ed Congressman Barden for his sup port in keeping the present route in operation. The route serves Cedar Island and Porthmouth in this coun ty. The distance from Ocracoke to Atlantic is approximately the same distance as from Ocracoke to Swan quarter, but the latter route would mean the daily navigation of Pamli co Sound, sometimes referred to as the roughest sound, ( especially dur ing stormy weather) along the Atlan tic coast. New Noe Hardware Company Is Opened An announcement elsewhere in this edition tells of the open ing of the New Noe Hardware Company which is featuring a new and complete line of gener al, marine, farm hardware and sporting goods.

Lewis of The Chamber of Commerce called a meet ing of the newly elected board of dir ectors of the organization on Monday nfeht. The interest that is being manifested in Chamber of Commerce activities in Beaufort was plainly shown at this meeting. Every offi cial and every director, 16 in all, were present at the meeting. One of the matters which needei immediate attention of The Chamber of Commerce was that of a proposed NYA project After hearing the proposal as outlined by President Lewis, the directors, went on revord to sponsor the project unanimously. Jacob Miller and U. E. Swann were appointed a committee to work for this project, which will cost the or ganization only a small amount. Aa a result of the project this section will have a unique way of spreading publicity and friendship with visit ing tourists. ; An important discussion relative to the Chamber of Commerce co-oper ating with The Beaufort Business Association in the operation of the Beaufort Auction Market for farmers of Carteret was a feature of the meet ing. County Farm Agent J. O. An thony was guest speaker in behalf of this particular proposal.
