Barden Inlet Starts
Development At Cape.
With the completion of
Barden Inlet (formerly the
Drain which connects Look
out Bight with Back Bay in
Core Sound) which has been
dredged to a depth of eight
feet- ulans are announced
.which will, if carried out,
imean the development of
Cape Looko':t. This news
paper under its present edi
torship has contended for the
past tour years that the most
logical site along the coast
to develop as a recreational
fishing or resort center
would be Cape Lookout .This
newspaper has urged throu
gh its editorial columns the
erection of hotel facilities at
the Cape. Incidentally, this
newspaper makes no secret
of the fact that it has always
favored Cape Lookout as the
most logical deepwater port
along the Atlantic. Fre
quently too, especially since
the rumblings of war have
been drifting from across the
ocean, we have contended
that Cape Lookout is the
most strategetic point along
the entire coast for the es
tablishment of a Navy or Air
Base.
A few days ago the last
mud was dredgtd from the
new eight foot Barden Inlet.
This week comes the an
nouncement that F. M. Sim
mons, of Charlotte will con
struct a fishing pier, 600 feet
long, parallel with the gov
ernment breakwater, but of
sufficient distance away
from it not to interfere with
navigation interests. Unless
ravigation interests raise ob
jections before October 28,
the Government will grant
permission for the construc
tion of the pier. Work will
start on the pier at an early
date. It will be completed
by April 1. Rates for fish
ing will be very reasonable.
Persons who are not good
sailors and like to fish from
piers will find in waters of
that region an abundance of J
all species of fish from early!
Spring until late Autumn and i
probably the year around.
No one has ever seriously
tried winter fishing at Cape
Lookout.
With the establishment of
a fishing pier it will be pos
sible perhaps, for a little as
two dollars to take a round
trip from Beaufort to Cape
Lookout and enjoy a day of
fishing in waters where fish
can always be caught. With
the establishment of the pier
cabins and perhaps hotels
will go up at Cape Lookout.
All of this will nrobablv be
completed by the summer of
1939 and if that is the case,
Cape lookout will bo Amer
ica's No. 1 fishing enter and
on top of that the easiest to
reach isolated resort spot
along the Atlantic Coast.
Talk of developing Cape
Lookout has been going on
for years, for a half century
or more. To actually get
things started it took an all
weather route to the Cape
ana in tsaruen s inlet, we
have an all-weather
water- !
way over which the poorest
sailor can travel without get
ting sea-sick. The Beaufort
News thanks Mr. Barden for
digging the way which has
started a trend for develop
ment at Cape Lookout.
Buy A Cane And
Help Near Blind.
When you are approached
by a young sales person on
the streets of Beaufort next
Saturday and offered a min
ature white cane which can
be pinned to the lapel of
your coat, by all means buy
one. Proceeds from this
sale will help buy glasses for
the near blind, many of
whom are school children
whose defective eyesight
may result in total blindness
before many years and is at
the present time retarding
the advancement of children
in their school studies. A
survey a few months ago
vealed that many children in.
Carteret schools who cannot j
afford to buy glassesl need
them badly. It is your chan-;
ce to help these children j
so on Saturday, October 22,!
let everyone wear a WHITE:
CANE on the lapel ot their
coat. It is a worthy move
ment as well as a payng in
vestment. Compliments For
The Clerk's Office.
Officials from the State
Department of Revenue in
Beaufort a few days ago
made an investigation of
Clerk of Court Lawrence W.
HasselU's office for the pur
pose of checking on guard
ianships, inheritance taxes,
trust funds and such. They
spent sorne time in the
clerk's office reviewing rec
ords. After they had com
pleted their investigation
they were high in their
praise ot the Carteret Clerk
of Court office. They said,
in paying compliments to the
office that it was one of the
best kept and most efficient
ly managed of any they had
visited on their tours of in
spection, of similar offices in
the State. They reported
that the records were effici
ently kept, easy to find and
in order. This editorial is
printed with the thought in
view that it might change
the opinions of some who
heard contrary reports about
the management of this of
fice. It is good news to know
that this important office is
being managed so efficient
ly and The Beaufort News is
pleased to praise Court
Clerk Hassell and his assist
ant for the record they are
making in the operation of
the Clerk of Court's office.
LETTERS
A Tip To People
Who Cash Checks
To the Editor:
Will you please let the following
be printed in your paper?
Man "A" writes a check ami
gives it to Man "B". Man "B"
gets Man "C" to cash this same
check. Man "C" deposits check
and same check is returned be
cause of insufficient funds. Man
"C" is unable to collect from Man
"A" so Man "C" indicts Man "A"
for giving a worthless check.
The case is presented in such a
clear and concise manner that the
average 10-year old child could
understand the facts easily. Yet
the jury is hung eleven for convic
tion and one for acquittal and the
scoundrels leave the courtroom
laughing. A crook will always
laugh when his victim is unable to
get any redress.
Now Mr. Editor and Readers,
you all know where the trouble
it's if you are a citizen of Beaufort j
and know anything about crooked ;
conditions existine in our town
The Ku Klux Klan needs to be
revived.
I thank you for this space.
Yours truly,
Paul S. Jones.
