Fishing And
All Outdoors
By AYCOCK BROWN
FIRST FISHING party going to
the Gulf Stream off Cape Lookout
this year sailed on Monday aboard
the trim and fast cruiser Cuda
catcher. In the party were Rowe
Metcalf of New York, owner of
the Cudacatcher, Jack Neal, Cha.
les Hassel and Christopher Jones
of Beaufort and Frank Kugler of
Washington. They went out a
bout 30 miles and although some
good strikes were registered, only
one fish was taken. It was a fair
sized bonita, and has the distinc
tion of being the first taken off
the Carteret coast in 1938.
NO FINER CRAFT for fishing
off shore has ever sailed from
Beaufort, than Rowe Metcalf's
"Cudacatcher." She is complete
in every detail for the comfort
and safety of anglers. On Tues
day from Lookout Shoals to the
Stream outriggers were up and
1 teasers, those plugs of gaudy col
ored wood towed behind boats by
: the biggest game fishermen of all
were used. Some day, such a rig,
and a party aboard such a boat
, as the Cudacatcher will land the
first marlin, the first sailfish, the
! first giant tuna, off the coast at
Cape Lookout, and when that has
been done, this section of North
Carolina will attract b triTse an
lers from all parts of tha country.'

Commencement Plans
Announced By Miller
Commencement season at
Beaufort School will begin,
this year on Friday evening,
May 13, and will close on
Monday evening May. 16,
with the graduating exer
cises of the senior class.
The outstanding feature of com
mencement will be the address of
Governor Clyde H. Hoey, who will
speak to the senior class at their
exercises on Monday evening, May
16, at eight o'clock. Governor
Hoey besides being the Governor
of the State, is considered to be
North Carolina's number one or
ator. He has more experience in
public speaking, perhaps, than any
other citizen in the State. He is
an inspirational speaker, who ap
peals to both young and old. He
commands admiration and enthu
siastic commendation of all who
hear him. Beaufort is forunate
in having the opportunity of hear,
ing him at this occasion.
The other speaker for commen
cement is Dr. D. E. Earnhardt,
President of Louisburg College,
who will deliver the baccalaureate
sermon on Sunday morning, May
15, at eleven-fifteen o'clock. The
churches of the town will unite in

PREACHED SERMON
HERE ON SUNDAY
"We ara living in a time of
crisis, and America's destiny
depends upon the way in
which we meet the critical
days ahead," the very Rev.
Israel H. Noe told Beaufort
Rotarians Tuesday night at
their regular weekly supper
meeting in the Inlet Inn din
ning room here. And con
tinued he said: "We.' have
bpen living over-extended
live3. We have purchased
activity at the expense of
moral stability. We have
lengthened the ropes with
out strengthening the stakes
and the tent of life is flap
ping wildly in the breeze
God never intended for us to
live under the strain to
which we have subjected
ourselves and the greatest
need of our time is for more
fundamental morality."
It was the second public mes
sage the former dean of St. Mary's
Cathedral, Memphis, Tenn., de
livered since January 22, five days
before he entered a hospital follow
ing an absolute fast which had
made him an international spirit
ual figure. Sunday he delivered
a 19-minute sermon to a congre
gation which packed all available
seating and standing room in his
toric St. Paul's Church here. Sev
eral days ago he arrived in Beau
fort, his native town, to visit his
mother Mrs. Susannah C. Noe.

most important pastorates in Eas

Banquet Plans Are
Well Underway
For May 16
TICKETS ON SALE
Plans for the entertain
ment of Governor Clyde R.
Hoey at a Chamber of Com
merce Banquet in Communi
ty Center Auditorium on
Monday evening, May 16 at
6 o'clock are well underway
and it is evident that it will
be one of the most elaborate
affairs of its kind ever pre
sented here. It will be the
first time in many, many
years that a Governor of the
State of North Carolina has
been entertained at a ban
quet in Beaufort, probably a
half century or more. In
the old days when the or
iginal Atlantic Hotel was sit
uated on the waterfront,
North Carolina Governors
frequently spent their vacations
here, and were lavishly entertain
ed, the older residents will tell
you.
Tickets for the banquet went
on sale this week. Due to the ill
ness of Mrs. Martha Longest Lof
tin, treasurer of the Chamber of
Commerce, various members of
the civic group were given allot
ments of tickets to distribute. Re
ports today were that sales were
good and that up to 200 persons
will be- present. Mrs. Loftin
has urged all members to buy
their tickets now, and the dead
line for sales has been set for May
8. By that time the committees in
charge of ticket sales are expect
ed to make their reports.

County Agent J. O. Anthony
' to meet in the Courthouse at
Beaufort on Friday after
noon, May 6 at 2:30 o'clock,
at which time a representa
tive from the Extension Ser
vice in Raleigh will be pres
ent to explain the proposed
Irish Potato Marketing Order
which will be voted on May
13. If two-thirds of the vot
ers in the referendum favor
the marketing order, the ship
ment of potatoes falling be
low U. S. No. 2 in interstate
trade will be prohibited. Elev
en states from Texas to
Maryland will hold referen
dums, so the proposal is not
local in any sense of the
word it was stated.

Cabbage Crop
BARDEN GETS
FSCC TO BUY
SWEET SPUDS
Congressman Barden ad
vised County Agent J. U. An
thony and the Chamber of
Commerce here on Wednes
day that he had made ar
rangements with the Feder
al Surplus Commodities Cor
poration to buy a limited
number of U. S. No. 1 Sweet
Potatoes in Carteret county.
The Third District Represen
tative had been contacted
by the Chamber of Com
merce late Monday night to
use his influence in having
this Federal agency which
has relieved the Carteret
Cabbage situation to also
buy surplus Sweet Potatoes.
He acted swiftly and FSCC
Field Represenativea Palen
and Hatch were in the coun
ty on Wednesday making
preliminary arrangements
for the purchases. While it
is estimated that approxi
mately 40,000 bushels of U.
S. No. 1 Porto Ricos are in
curing houses of the county
at present, only a limited
quantity will be purchased
by the Federal agency, in
their efforts to improve mar
keting conditions. Unless the
FSCC had stepped in and of
fered to buy the surplus now
on hand, the potatoes now on
hand would .have .become
pithy and unmarketable by
mid-June, observers stated.

Several Car-Loads
Will Move This
Week-end
REP. G. A. BARDEN
HELPED FARMERS
Exactly 45 solid car loads
of cabbage have been pur
chased in Carteret County
since last Saturday by th
Federal Surplus Commodi
ties Corporation, which rush- .
ed to the cabbage " stricken
area of East Carolina last
week following appeals from
the farmers through the
Beaufort Auction. Market. .
Chamber of Commerce and
County Agent J. O. Anthony
sent to Congressman Gra
ham A. Barden. Within 24
hours after word reached
his office in Washington, Con'
gressman Barden had completed
the necessary arrangements and
within 48 more hours field repre
sentatives of the FSCC had set up
offices in New Bern and were buy
ing cabbage from farmers in the
surrounding counties.
Although the orginal allotment
was only 100 cars from all the co
unties, the situation was such that
additional allotments were made
and during the next 48 hours at
least 22 and possibly 23 more car
loads wil roll out of Carteret tak
ing cabbage to families on relief
in cities East of the Alleghenies
and as far north as Boston.
Commenting on the results
brought about by the government
purchase of cabbage County
Agent Anthony said: "The growers
will realize little or no profit from
their cabbage crop this year, but
the FSCC through its purchases,
has added greatly in relieving:
farmers of the financial strain
they were under, as a result of no
markets."
Prior to the government's entry
into the cabbage picture, farmers
were receiving from three to five
dollars per ton. The FSCC boost
ed the price to $9 and $14 FOB
in Beaufort, which automatically
increased the prices paid by truck
buyers in the field from six to
eight dollars.

Covering The
Waterfront
By AYCOCK BROWN
AN EX-CO ASTGUARSM AN
who had only recently retired
from duty aboard a patrol boat
told me about an experience he
had shortly after he bought his
new car. On the way to New Bern
he saw another tuto approaching.
The Coastguaid:tman blew his horn
twice and passed the car on the
port side. Tha :nan in the other
car stopped, hailed the Coast
guardsman and wanted to know
know why in the devil he had pass
ed him on the left side of the
road. "I gave you the proper sig
nal for passing you on your port
side," retorted the C. G. And then
it dawned on him that he was on
the highways and not the high
seas. ANOTHER STRUCTURE is
going up on the South side of
Front street, one will note if thejr
glance towards the eastward. It
is too bad that restrictions could
not be enforced which would have
prohibited the building of anything
higher than a pier on the water
front. Without buildings on the
South side of Front Street, Beau
fort really had something which
impressed the visitors here, but
it will be only a matter of time
until our waterfront will be just
like those in many other towns
