Frank Montgomery's
Article In State
Was Wrong
Inner Edge Of Stream
Within 25 Miles Of
Beaufort Inlet
Frank Montgomery writ
ing an article for The State
magazine last week stated
that the Gulf Stream was
100 miles off Southport and
70 miles off Morehead City.
He implied that we civic club sec
retaries in the various coastal
towns are all wet and that we are
broadcasting false information
when we say the Stream which
gives the coast of Carolina a semi
tropical climate and a semi-tropical
growth of vegetation is any
nearer our mainland than which he
indicated.
Just where he got all of his
false information for the article
which was well written otherwise,
the editor of The Beaufort News
and one of the Chamber of Com
.merce secretaries who has tried to
do his share in playing up the
Stream, does not know. The Ed
itor does know that he did not get
his information from Chart No.
1001, issued by the U. S. Coast
and Geodetic Survey. In addi
tion to showing very clearly the
20 Fathom Curve and the 100
fathom curve, a line of arrows
pointing northward show the "Ap
proximate Axis of Maximum

IYIhv does a barber's
pole have stripe??
LONG ago, a barber served In two
capacities barber and surgeon.
He "bled people"!, e., when a man
felt Ick he thought he had too much
blood in his system and he went to
the barber to have some of that
blood removed from his body. The
barber pole stood for the staff the
patient held as he was being bled.
The red and white stripes were for
the bandages used in the operation,
the white for the bandage used be
fore the operation, the red for the
dressing of the wound after it was
'over. The gold ball at the top of the
pole represented the. other end of
the business the brass basin from
which the customer was shaved.
