Farm Agent J. 0. Anthony, Produce Auctioneer Bill Sermons, Chamber of Commerce President, C. L. Beam, C. G. Gaskill, C. of C. Com mitteeman, and other persons in terested in cooperating with the farmers will be present, t Farm Agent Anthony is sending out form letters to all produce growers this week-end urging them to attend the meeting. Last year the Auction Mart was not operat ed successfully. The previous year the market was operated and at a benefit to every farmer who sold his produce through the market. Lack of cooperation between the 'farmers and poor management resulted in failure during the past year. Carteret County farmers have everything to gain and nothing to lose if they cooperate this year. If they show the proper spirit and interest, plus cooperation, arran - gements will be made with several produce houses to have buyers on the market.

Waterfront By AYCOCK BROWN GUEST COLUMNIST BECAUSE JIMMIE Guthrie, Harker's Island's fisherman-philosopher always has an interesting tale to tell, we are using his col umn this week under the caption "Covering the Waterfront." As guest columnist, Jimmie Guthrie offers a suggestion about building i a bridge to which this editor heart ily agrees. He also tells of other interesting incidents in the vicinity ?f Cape Lookout. THE OLDFORT HILL BY JIMMIE GUTHRIE NORTH OF Cape Lookout Light House may be seen the ruins of the 'Old Fort" built way back yon der in 1860 or maybe further back. From this place one sees the ' ocean that washes the eastern beach, from the Gulf.

DEBUNKER By John Hcney Fur bay, Ph.D. A mixture of blue and yellow pig ment will make a green pigment, but a mixture of blue and yellow light will not make a green light. Pigment Is not color: it is some thing which absorbs all the colors of white light except certain ones. An object does not possess color; It only reflects color. Therefore, mix ing blue and yellow pigments does not produce green color, but it does produce a mixture of pigments ca pable of absorbing all the colors of white light except green. If blue and yellow light are mixed, the re sulting color may appear blue-gray, fawn, or even white.

Mrs. Bravaldo is the very efficient deputy in the office of L. W. HasselL clerk of Carteret Superior Court. All the credit for the recent "capias cleanup" does not go to Sheriff Holland, because both Court Deputy Bravaldo and Clerk Hassell have both played important roles in this war against "court gypers."

Since he could first toddle he has followed me eagerly ; since he could first talk, he has cried after me each day; "I wanna go widje Dad dy." Almost each thing I do in his sight, he tries to do. I am begin ning to realize the great care I must exercise i,i my choice of lan (niace: mv habits that may come under his observation, my man ners, and my conduct, on all occa sions. My little boy is already saying, when corrected by his eld ers: "Dady does it." Before I was a father or a hus band, I vowed I would make it easy for my boy. Maybe I could raise him so he wouldn't have to work much; so he could have spen ding money, a good time, fine clothes, so he might move around among the elite in short to have all the things my childhood denied me. Maybe I could start him oa the road to be Governor, or per haps a great artist, poet, writer, o: engineer, or in some other of the high places a boy longs to achieve during the various stages of h'.s adolescence, even as you and I. But I think I know better. I have no ambitious plans for the life career of my little boy. I be lieve one thing that is, it will be better for him if he has to work in order to cultivate his industry, and discipline his habits; I believe it (Continued on page 11) A; Her Husband Is A Lieutenant And She Is The Daughter Of A General VACATIONING IN Beaufort last week was Mrs. Era est Snowden, pictured above on a tandem bike in front of Inlet Inn with her husband, Lieutenant Snowden's young brother, Macon.

Seeley who did not introduce many bills at the beginning of the current edi tion of the State Legislature, has surely been making up for lost time as tb.3 Law Making conclave nears an end. Since last week he has introdu ced and gotten passed in the House measure which provides for a ref erendum in Morehead City to per mit dog and horse racing and pari, mutuel betting; legislation per taining to cuts in the ABC receipts for the municipalities in which liquor stores are located and many other new laws. Tax On Fishermen Creating most unfavorable com ment locally was a bill which has been ratified into law taxing non resident crew members of menha den boats $5 each. The bill was passed and ratified before local business interests began to realize that it would primarily hit the Fish Meal Company which has for the past several years conducted and is at present conducting a vast ex pansion program at their plant in West Beaufort. While it is true that similar tax es have been in effect in Georgia and Florida on crew members, lo cal business interests would have worked hard to prevent the pas sage of the bill if they had given it thought earlier.

LANDING FIELD RUNWAY IS NOW READY FOR USE Planes Can Land Or Take Off In Four Directions At practically no cost, Beaufort and the Carteret coast is now provided with an excellent aviation landing field. This has been brought about through the efforts of Earl Taylor, local aviation enthusiast, co-operating with the Chamber of Commerce, which has been working hard to establish facilites on the Carteret coast to take care of visiting airplanes. Incidentaly, it has been through the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce, that the Roanoke Island Flying Service has agreed to establish a charter plane srevice here at an early date to connect with Ocracoke and Hatteras and the island of Roan oke at Manteo. The Chamber of Commerce had no funds with which to make im provements in a landing field. As a matter of fact the organization had no property on which to pro vide the facilities. The West Beau fort development, which ha3 been used as a sort of emergency field by visiting planes for many yeare was the only place. It was not necessary to make any major changes in the properties, bo cause the field grown up in grass was already ideal, due to its flat surface. All that was neces sary was to cut out the northeast southwest runway, by filling a cou ple of ditches and grading the rougher sections. The northwest- southeast runway was already in excellent condition.
