(News Photo) Financial Success Carteret Post 99 And Exhibitors Share Profits The 1938 edition of Car teret Fair, sponsored by the local post of American Le gion, which came to a close on Saturday night, October 15, was a financial success, according to T. E. Kelly, general manager of the event. The 1938 Fair patronage was far better than the previous year, it was sta ted, and the reasons for this was due to added interest in the exhib its, a larger display of exhibits and the midway attractions presented by Art Lewis Shows. Hundreds of prizes went to ex hibitors. Exhibitors for the most part were from the rural areas, who displayed their agricultural products. Cash prizes went to a large number of exhibitors, a list of which is printed elsewhere in to day's edition. Sponsors of the fair have during the past several days been putting the High School Athletic field back in shape. The athletic field was not damaged materially, but it is necessary to refill and level out areas of the field where tent stakes or holes were dug into the ground for the purpose of estab lishing various shows or conces sions. The ladies of the Legion Auxil iary, did a tremendous business in their lunch stand, and the profits derived will aid materially in car rying on their worthwhile work in the community and for their or ganization. Incidentally the prof its from the event which will go into the treasury of Carteret Post 99, American Legion, will be used for worthwhile purposes in Car teret County. Loans To Farmers Applications for loans to farm ers may be obtained at the office of Mrs. Morrison, Rural Resettle ment official at the Courthouse annex on Saturday, October 29, it was-announced today. Farmers wishing to secure loans are urged to apply for the application blanks which will be available on Saturday. Large Number Of Citizens Inspect Modern Destroyer Mess Attendant Jones Is Happiest Man On The Helm To the majority of the members of the crew of the U. S. S. Helm which ftaitVrl intra M rrh a rl CAt v new ocean port terminal yester- day it was just another routine I tour of duty. Crews of many ves- sels of the Navy in the United States today are away from their regular bases aboard their ships, participating in Navy Day observ ances. But to James Henry Jones, Mess Attendant, 1st Class, aboard the Helm the arrival of the ship in the local harbor was an out standing event. James Henry Jones, colored, it in charge of the colored mess attendants who serve the officers of the Helm.. .He is a native of Morehead City, has been in the Navy six years, away from his hometown for seven years. Naturally he was happiest man in the crew when his ship .brought him back to his home town. James Henry Jones has made a very out standing record for a member of his race, since he has been in the Navy, and any officer aboard the destroyer will back up this state ment. JUDGE WEBB HEARS MANY COURT CASES First Session In 2 Weeks; Held Tuesday A sixty day suspended sen tence was given Lloyd Tay lor when he was found guilty of driving an automobile while drunk, by Recorder Paul Webb Tuesday. He must remain of good behav ior for a period of two years and not violate the law. Because the defendant was the father of seven children and in dire poverty, the costs of the court were not as sessed. A three months suspended sen tence was given Paul Daniels on a charge of assault with deadly weapon. He must pay the court costs and be of good behavior for a period of two years. In the case of Matthew Marshall charged with giving a worthless check, the Recorder held the ver dict in obeyance. Nancy Debrix was given a 30 day sentence on a charge of violat ing the prohibition laws. She must pay the costs and be of good be havior for two years. Frank D. Merrill was found guil ty of disorderly conduct and dis turbing the peace but not on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, as originally charged. The verdict was prayer for judg ment and continued upon payment of the costs. Adolphus Frazier charged with assault on a female was found not guilty. He was found guilty on charges of assault with deadly weapon and carrying concealed weapon and trying to break jail. Judgment was withheld until No vember 1. Felton's Proved It Could Be Done. Local merchants in recent years apparently were of the opinion that shoes for children costing more than two dollars a pair were a liability and something which could not be sold in these parts. But this year Claude Felton of Felton's decided to put in a better line which sell at a higher price. He put in a complete line of Bus ter Brown shoes, which retail from $1.95 to $4 per pair and then star ted plugging the brand with plenty of newspaper advertising. The re sult has been very gratifying, not only to Felton's who are selling more shoes to children this year than ever bet ore, but to parents who realize that the shoes which come at a slightly higher price, outwear the lower priced styles. Felton's and their newspaper ad vertising are surely putting across the Buster Brown line in Carteret County. Destroyer Named In Honor Of Admiral Hundreds of visitors from practically every section of coastal Carteret County went aboard the U. S. S. Helm to- day f Of their first close-Up view of a modem destroyer. The Helm, under the com mand of Lieutenant Commander j Paul Talbot arrived at the ocean port terminal in Morehead Lity Wednesday, to remain there dur ing the national Navy Day observ ances. News that the vessel would visit Morehead City was first flashed here last week by Senator Robert R. Reynolds, although he was acting upon the request of Mayor H. S. Gibbs and the Rotary Club that a ship of the Navy be sent into the new ocean port. Included in the large groups vis iting the craft today were not only adults but students of the various schools in the County. This morn ing during Beaufort High School Chapel Period, Lt. James Fergu son, communications officer abo ard the the Helm gave an interest ing talk on the activities of the Navy. Tonight at the regular weekly meeting of the Morehead City Rotary Club, officers of the ship will be honored guests. To night in Community Center a "Navy Day" square dance is being planned in honor of the destroyer and her crew of seven officers and 165 enlisted men. The dance will get underway at 8 o'clock. Following his announcement that the Helm would visit More head City Senator Reynolds for warded the press of this section complete data about the visit and the destroyer. In brief the prin cipal data follows: . .

Duff Purefoy. In addi tion to the Tripple-A potatos Mr. Purefoy also brought in one which was shaped very much like a goose. These oddities are now curing in the window beside the editor's desk and in another week will probably find their way into the baker of Mrs. Brown or Mrs. Hatsell. EVEN THE BIRDS LIKE GEORGE ROSS Even the birds like George Ross Pou, State Auditor of North Car olina. It is a well-known fact that the voters like him because of the overwhelming majority they gave when he was seeking his pres ent job.

V -4 fVX Senl!:e Clubs Of Tvfllfth Meet In 9 TOYS GALORE DONATED FOR NYA PROJECT First and Fourth Grades Winners Of Prizes A few days ago teachers in the Beaufort Graded school told their pupils to bring any old toys which they would like to give to wards a collection to be re conditioned and made like new by NVA workers and then dis tributed at Christmas to the needy children by the American Legion to their grade rooms. The response on the part of chil dren was marvelous. Several hun dred toys were donated. The Le gion promised a prize of $1 to the grade bringing the most toys. In the final check-up the Fourth Grade room of Miss Lessie Arring ton and the first grade room of Miss Louise Hudgins ran so close in the number of donations that a prize of $1 went to each room. The toys will now be recondi tioned by NYA workers and on Chiistmas, as a result of the gen erosity of children who are more fortunate, those who otherwise would probably receive nothing, will be hearing from Santa Claus. Anyone else with toys they wish to donate may leave same at The American Legion hut or give to Mrs. Dave Merrill, NYA supervi sor of Carteret. Fate Had A Hand In This Tragedy Fate surely had a hand in this tragedy. Many persons here, es pecially members of the Rotary Club will recall Capt. H. J. Lewis and his son, of Hartford, Connecti cut. Capt. Lewis engaged in the oyster industry, on a big scale, spent a month on Pivers Island du ring the past summer. He told lo cal Rotarians about his business in a very interesting talk one meeting night. One day when a stiff south easter was blowing Capt. Lewis told Dr. Prytherch that he would like to see a real tropical hurricane which sometimes swept our coast land. Then Capt. Lewis returned to his home in Hartford, later go ing to Stoney Creek with Mrs. Lewis to vacation in their cottage. The real tropical hurricane which swept New England's coast a few weeks ago washed away the cot tage of Capt. and Mrs. Lewis. They were both drowned. Two Gunboats Of Dominican Fleet In Port Tuesday Two vessels of another nation's fleet which are not observing Navy Day with the rest of the country, ' today passed through Beaufort early this week. They were shab- ' by looking second-handed 75-foot-ers which once served in the Coast Guard patrol. The boats with all Spanish cr?v.-i, excepting Capt.

After re-fueling at the Texaco wharf the gunboats sailed south ward through Beaufort Inlet. The vessels passed through town, prac tically unnoticed, but upon their arrival in Dictator Trujilla's coun try they will be received with much pomp and pride. Stedman of Ocracoke Injured In Wreck F R. Stedman of Ocracoke Is land and High Point was injured near the latter city a few days ago when a dirt road on which he waa driving gave way causing the car to crash down a ravine. He is re covering satisfactorily from, his injuries.
