CHRISTMAS
SHOPPING NOTES
2 -By-
! AYCOCK (Shopper) BROWN
FAR BE IT from me to burden
this newspaper with an additional
by-line column but there are too
many fine gifts and fine stores
right here at home to go unnoticed
by shoppers who are really doing
their Christmas shopping now. And
the little things I say I hope will
turn more dollars into the cash
registers of our local merchants
and especially our advertisres.
WHAT IS Absolutely the neat
est thing I have seen in a radio
this week is the RCA VICTOR
"Little Nipper" that is on display
at Carteret Hardware Company.
Equipped with five tubes the little
set could almost be concealed in
your overcoat pocket, and the cab
inet hardly covers the span of your
hand--although it brings in all
stations and foreign lands. Inci
dent it sells for only $17.95.
WHEN ED MARTIN aproved his
30 inch advertisement featuring
gift selections he said, "And don't
forget to say something about our
most complete line of Christmas
dresses, coats and Millinery." On

BARDEN AND BAILEY
WILL JOIN GROUP
Major General Julian L.
Schley, chief of U. S. Army
Engineers, Major George
Gillette, U. S. Armv district
engineer and other high of
licals of this branch of the
Federal government will ar
rive in Morehead City to
night about 8 o'clock aboard
the Falcon. Represnetative
Graham A. Barden and Sen
ator Josiah W. Bailey are
scheduled to join the party in
Morehead City. Before sailing on
Friday morning for Wilmington,
the U. S. Engineering chief and
his party will probably make a
tour of inspection of Beaufort and
other nearby harbors and water
way projects.
It is one of the most extensive
inspection tours the chief of army
engineers has ever made of North
Carolina waterways. The Falcon
sailed from Norfolk early this
week. Early Wednesday the par
ty left Manteo for a visit to old
Fort Raleigh, Wright Memorial
and other places of interest in
that sector. Later they sailed in
a flying speed boat to inspect the
waterway facilities of Avon, Ro
tlanthe, Hatteras and Ocracoke.
They lunched at Hatteras and then
went across Pamlico sound to Eng
lehard. They visited Mattamus
keet Lake, Swanquarter and Bel
haven where they boarded the Fal
con agai nfor the night.
This morning they were joined
by Representative Lindsay Warren
of Washington, N. C, for in in
spection trip of Tar River which is
being considered for a navigation
project as far as Tarboro. At 1
o'clock they lunched with Con
gressman Warren in Washington
and then sailed for Orietaln a
boaid the aFlco. From Orietal
they are scheduled to sail to More
head City, arrivig early toight.
Last week it was indicated that
the Falcon would spend the night
in Beaufort harbor upon its ariiv
al in Carteret but the plans were
changed later when it was learned
that according to schedule the
vessel is making, it would not ar
live after dark.
Local harbor facilities are not
adequate for the reception of a
vessel of the Falcon's type, if the
vessel is arriving after dark. In
cidentally, and this might be of
interest to the U. S. Engineers, a
large fleet of boats which add
greatly to the navigation interests
of this port have found recently
that local harbor facilities are not
adequate for proper and safe us'-'
after dark or even during daylight
hours due to needed improvements
which have been asked for but
which have not yet been approved
by the Federal government.

Golfers Harrassed
By Crows Stealing
. Balls On Fairways
Unusual Story No. 1 this week
was told by C. S. Owensby, super
visor of Gulf Stream Golf Club
where the annual Autumn tourney
has been underway recently. Last
summer the golfers were harrassed
when they sliced a ball and it fell
in the high grass adjoining the
fairways. Hundreds of balls were
lost that way. Now that the high
ijrass has disappeared and the
fairways are in lawn-like shape a
new trouble has arisen. The
crows are sometimes stealing the
balls driven by players, before the
players can reach them. Owens
by says the crows stole five balls
in one week from him recently.
