A NEW "SUPER" Coast Guard Station with quarters for
a crew of 30 men will soon replace the present structure
pictured above and the lookout tower. The contract for
building the station has been let to a Norfolk firm. E. L.
(Tad) Davis, of Beaufort, has the contract to build a new
boathouse and launchway at Fort Macon at a cost of $29,
575. (Note: An item appearing in the second column on
page 3 of this edition stating that Davis has contract to
build Fort Macon station dwelling was gleaned from a
daily newspaper and is an error.) The Beaufort contrac
tor does have the contract to build a new combination "su
per" station and boat house on Ocracoke Island. W. F.
Martens has the contract for improvement of the Cape
Lookout Station involving an expenditure of $13,240. Eu-banks-News

THAT CAPE Lookout will
eventually be the principal resort,
of Carteret County is predicted by
any number of persons who are fa
miliar with the location. The only
reason the Cape has not developed
before had been due to the fact
that it was necessary to go there
by way of Beaufort Inlet and even
on fair days this route is mighty
uncomfortable for the land lubber.
Within a few more weeks the
"Drain" will be dredged to a
depth sufficient to accomodate
yachU and the type of boats which
now go to the Cape. With the
completion of this route, it will be
possible to go to and from the
Cape in all kinds of weather and
in comfort.
CAPE LOOKOUT today offers
what Ocracoke and Hatteras of
fered before those places tried go
ing modern. And it offers what
so many vacationists are really
looking for in the way of recrea
tion and rest Already this sea.
son an increase in the number of
persons going to the Cape has
been noted. Mrs. Carrie Davis

What's the Answer?
By CD WARD MUCH
IVJrlAT ARE. DREAMS AND
WHY DO WE DREAM THEM!
DREAMS are the means by which
Nature insures to us the rest
which we should otherwise lose did
we not dream. When the entire
train is unconscious during sleep
we do not dream. But when a por
tion of it is awake and some force
from the conscious penetrates to It,
dream is set into motion. For
instance, we are asleep in a ham
mock on a hot day. The sun creeps
on us and the heat of it causes that
portion of our brain which is not
entirely asleep to start dreaming
that we are on a hot dry desert
The glare of the sun becomes the
bright blinding glare of the desert
Were the dream not set Into motion,
the sun would awaken us.

This is a wonderful idea and

Fishing And
All Outdoors
By AYCOCK BROWN
A GROUP of automobile repre
sentatives convened on the Car
teret Coast last week-end. A fea
ture of the convention was the fish
ing trip. So many delegates were
present that it was necessary to
employ several boats to take care
of the large party. A $20 prize
was offered the party catching the
largest number of fish. Who won
the prize makes no difference.
The idea that it was offered for
the largest number of fish taken
does, make a difference. If the
prize had been offered for the
largest fish taken, it would have
been real sportsmanship. As it so
happened there was no sportsman
ship involved none at all.
