The Catalogue and Premi

gion sponsored 4th annual
Carteret Fair rolled off the
presses of the Beaufort News
Printshop early this week and al
ready many of the bound volumes
have been mailed by Manager T.
E. Kelly to prospective exhibitors.
, The booklet this year is decided
ly different from any fair booklet
published in the South. The cov
er design created by Miss Georgia
Neal is quite likely to revolution
ize fair booklet covers throughout
the country, because of the unusu
al art work which depicts in car
toon a country fair town with
many of the buildings carrying the
signs of the advertisers who made
the booklet possible.
Hundreds of premiums valued
at hundreds of dollars will be of
fered the prize-winning exhibitors.
A list of the premiums are includ
ed in the booklet along with other
information pertaining to the
event which is scheduled to take
place during the week of October
10-15. The frontispiece of the
booklet carries the photographs
of the four principal officers and
a list of the board of directors.
Printing a 52-page fair booklet
in a busy weekly newspaper and
printshop is no small job. Beau

to wedge the work of printing the
booklet in between other print
jobs and the work of getting out
the eight page edition each week.

There was a report in the news
papers of this State that a marlin
weighing 100 pounds, approxi
mately, was taken off Morehead
City. Since the item first ap
peared in print your columnist
has been trying to get the inside
track on the story but so far
everyone hereabouts who seem to
know the most about sports fish
ing, seems to know the least about
that marlin.
SUCH A STORY as that should
go farther than within the bor

that anglers up around New

arpon
A 92-pound tarpon was
caught in the purse net of
the meniikden t boat- Leland
Mills off Brown's Inlet about
25 miles west of Beaufort
Inlet Wednesday. It was
the first tarpon landed in
nearby waters this year, and
news of the catch, despite
the fact that it was mads in
a net instead of wkh rod and
reel, is quite likely to attract
a number of "silver king"
anglers with rod and reel to
this section.
Capt. John E. Noe, broth
er of Dean Israel H. Noe, is
skipper of the Leland Mills.
Following the catch and
after the fish was photo
graphed from a number of
angles, Aycock Brown, sec
retary of the local Chamber
of Commerce .wired .news
that "tarpon were running"
to Judge T. D. Bryson, dean
of Duke University's School
of Law. Judge Bryson had
majde arrangements with
Brown last Spring, to tip him
off when "Tarpon showed
up." He is one angler who
has fished for just about ev
erything that swims between
Southport and the Virginia
line, including the Gulf
Stream.

Although we could nat verify
the report as we go to press today,
it was stated here this morning

County Chief Key Men will be as

ulation. Common telephones will
be used in the proposed "defense"
of the country against "enemy"
planes.
The maneuvers, similar to war
games which have been held be
fore at other points along the East
and West Coast will prove wheth
er the North Carolina coast is an
open door for enemy invasion.
And, unless the "defenders" along
the coast keep a mighty good look
out, for "enemy planes" it is quite
likely that what The Beaufort
News has contended editorially for
the past three or four years is ac
tually the truth: THAT THE
NORTH CAROLINA COAST IS
AN OPEN DOOR FOR ENEMY
INVASION DURING TIME OF

Nine Foot 'Gator
Caught In Shrimp
Net Near Beaufort
An alligator (said by some to
have been a crocodile which was
an error) was caught in a shrimp
trawl net up Clubfoot Creek near
the old canal on Tuesday. It
measured 9 foot two inches from
tip to tip. The 'gator was cap
tured in a shrimp trawl net ope
rated by Ed Culver, of Beaufort.
Alligators are very numerous in
the creeks and marshes of Car

numbers of gators have been seen
in the South River section. Many
small one have been landed there
by rod and reel anglers fishing for
fresh water bass.

FAIR WEEK
JravelingJLibrary
Loans Books To
Rural Folks
If the Carteret Board of
Commissioners look with
favor on the proposal and
agree to furnish the gasoline
and oil necessary for the op
eration during the month,
the State's WPA Bookmo
bile may come to Carteret in
December or during the
late winter. Mrs. Norma
Sawyer, District Supervisor
of WPA Library Projects
was here early this week for a
conference with Mis3 Sara Rum
ley, County Supervisor of Library
and Book-mending projects. The
WPA Bookmobile operated by
John Coleman was also in Beau
fort and on display.
If the County Commissioners
agree to pay the expense involved
in buying gasolnie and oil for the
Bookmobile, (the cost for the
month would be hardly more than
$25) it will touch at every com
munity in the rural sections, at
least four times. The Book
mobile carries about 800 volumes.
These books are changed each
week. No charge is made to per.
sons borrowing the books, There
are books which will appeal to
adults, young men and women
and children of all ages.
To give an idea of how the
rural folks take to the idea, there
were aproximately 15,000 volumes
loaned in Pender County during
the past month. The State WPA
owns 17.000 books, although onlv
about 800 can be taken aboard
the Bookmobile at one time.
Mrs. Sawyer was well-pleased I
with the library projects in this
County which are supervised by
Miss Rumley. She visited many ,
of the projects in the various com
munities. In Beaufort she visit
ed the indexing project at St.
Paul's where workers are now
completing the tabulation of sev
eral thousand volumes collected
by the late Mrs. Nannie P. Gef
frey during her lifetime, and
which may be given to the Town
of Beaufort if suitable library fac
ilities are made available.
GUEST ARTIST
Miss Florence Smith, the "sing
ingest" and "dancingest" young
lady in Carteret County will be
guest artist in Atlantic Beach Ca
sino Saturday night She will do
some of the singing and dancing
numbers which won her amateur
hour fame there during the cur
rent summer.

WINTER COVER
CROPS NEEDED
ALONG COAST
Farm Agent AnthonjJ
Urges Farmers To
Plant Cover
Crops
Many a good farmer has founj
that the Government checks for
carrying out soil-building practi
ces have helped him do many
things to improve his farm that
he has wanted to do for years,
but felt he could not afford.
One of the best ways to earn
your payment is to plant winter'
cover crops, and one of the besC
ways to spend that money is in
seeding more cover crops.
Winter cover crops . will help
make your farm a better place
on which to live :
By keeping a lot of that ferti
lizer you bought last spring from
leaching out of the boil. By keep
ing your good soil from washing
away. By helping you start a
good crop rotation. By producing
more feed and thereby reducing
your feed bill. By helping you
add more livestock to your farm.
By helping you balance your farm
ing operations and making them
more proftis. By helping to maka
idle land pay its own way.
By growing legumes on well in
oculated land, and turning them
under, you can add much nitrogen
and humus to your soil which will
be good for the next several crops.
You and your soil will get a lot
more good out of green fields this
winter than either could possibly
get out of the dead remains of
lasts summer's crops.

AN ADVERTISEMENT appear
ing in the State papers on Monday
told about the thousand foot long
19-foot wide fishing pier at Fort
Fisher. That pier attracts many
land-lubbers who like their salt
water fishing but are not sailors
enough to go out on a boat or can
not afford to pay the rather ex
pensive prices the average guide
charges at not only Beaufort and
Morehead City but every other
point along the North Carolina
coast. Dr. Johnson, of Beaufort
and Morehead City made the sug
gestion sometime ago through let
ters to this and other newspapers
urging the County or the two prin
cipal towns to co-operate in secur
ing a fishing pier for Carteret.
But as usual, the citizens are slow
to get the significance of what
it would mean and as a result no
one has taken any action in pro
moting the project. It could prob
ably be built with Federal funds.
