Br EDWARD FINCH MKY 00 YOU GET A LUMP INSTEAD OF A DENT WHEN YOUR HEAD IS HIT ? YOU do, but only for a second or two. As soon as you knock your head against something the brain rushes an extra supply of blood to that spot, filling and distending the blood vessels. At the point of injury, portions of blood cells plus other body fluids leak through the walls of the blood vessels, causing a congestion which raises the skin into a bump. O Western Newspaper Union. First land-mark sighted by the "enemy" bombing fleet on Monday morning as they flew towards Fort Bragg was the light of Cape Lookout. A few minutes later, a member of Capt. Fred Gillikin's Coast Guard crew saw the lights of the bombers. The time was 3:57 A. M. It marked the beginning of the War Games. The exercises are between the Anti-aircraft and Air Corps of the United States Army. r . - - As Result Carteret Observers Make Front Page When the Anti - aircraft and Air Corps Exercises star ted on Monday morning the first "enemy planes" report ed approaching the coast were sighted by Capt. Fred Gillikin's observer at Cape Lookout Coast Guard Station They were sighted at three minutes to four o'clock, offi cial starting time for the observ ers to be on the lookout for planes. The planes, huge bombers, did not pass over Beaufort, however, I but stayed over the sea until they were west of Atlantic Beach. A minute or two after 4. o'clock the huge flying fortresses traveling at a rate of 250 miles an hour were sighted and reported by the obser ver at Newport. From then on civilians all along the route from the cost to Fort Bragg sent in FLASH messages that 'enemy ships' were coming. Up at Fort Bragg General Card ner, commanding the Coast Artil lery Anti-Aircraft unit observed the approach of the planes on a huge board map. As each observa tion station would report, a light appeared on the map at that point. On the first day the defense unit would probably have been the winner of the exercises. But on Tuesday the huge bombers from Langley Field succeeded in reach ing Fort Bragg and practically captured the post. Civilian observers throughout Eastern Carolina are doing a good job. In Carteret County, FLASH MESSAGES have been sent in by observers at Cape Lookout, New port, Marshallberg and Harlowe and other places, according to County Key-man Wm. H. Bailey. The exercises will continue thru October 15.

The local hard ware firm had bought it from Finley Roberts & Company, of Baltimore and they had im ported it from the makers, Jo. scph Rogers and Sons, Sher field, England. The unusual part of the st;ry is that Mr. Smith has carried the knife for the past . years, practi cally every day. Once it had genuine buckhorn handles with a blade in each end. To day the handles are almost worn away, and so are the blades, but it is still a good knife and Mr. Smith prizes it very highly. 0 " ' , Judge Frizzelle Of Snow Hill Will Preside A mixed term of Superior Court for Carteret County is scheduled to begin in Beau fort next Monday morning-.

Percy Morency, secretary and treasurer of the Art Lewis Shows. As a result of the delayed meeting the entire course of my life was changed. Some of you folks who read this column will recall that in 1928, (after I had been fired from the paper I am now editing) I became publicity director of At lantic Beach which opened that year. George Huntley was man ager and Jack Lyles was manager of amusements. JACK WAS a pretty wise guy. He had foresight enough to sign a year's contract. I did not. Dur ing late August Jack said he could fix me up with Johnny J. Jones Greater Shows which would be go ing to Cuba that winter, leaving Jacksonville during the late aut umn. In the meantime there wa3 a month or two of political writ ing in my career. I became an AI Smith propagandist. I managed someway or other to save about $100 which I lost on the man I was boosting for president. That $100 would have taken me to Jackson ville and Cuba and no telling where.
