Covering The Waterfront By AYCOCK BROWN OF INTEREST locally and throughout Eastern Carteret Coun ty is the possibility that the ex isting mailroute from Atlantic to Ocracoke, which also serves Lola, ..." Roe, and Portsmouth, may be i changed to Swanquarter, across 5 Pamlico Sound from the Island. The Chamber of Commerce in Vf Beaufort will fight any proposed change, not only because commu 1 nities of this County will be affect ed, but also because this organiza tion believes that the Core Sound ; route is the most practical for the ; Island of Ocracoke.

Dr. Luther Fulcher's name goes on the Board of Alder men candidate line-up left vacant through the with drawal of Charles Case, Sr. Others on this ticket include : Oscar Noe, A. T. Gardner, and William Roy Hamilton. No name has appeared to take the place of Calvin Jones who withdrew his can didacy last week. While nothing exciting has taken place in local politics, it is no erret that a strong whis pering campaign is being waged against certain office seekers. FARMERS WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS MEASURE Congress Repeals 80 Per Cent ACP Law Of interest to all farmers in Carteret County was the news received this week by County Farm Agent J. O. Anthony relative to the re peal by Congress of the 80 percent provision for 1939 cotton, wheat, potatoes and commercial vegetables. A copy of a telegiam in this con nection was contained in the mim eographed letter sent to all County Agents of the State. It follows: "On basis amendment to Act 1939 Agricultural Conservation Piwram being amended to provide payment on acreage allotment for Tournament, an event spon cotton, wheat, potatoes and com- sored by the Governor's Hos mercia'l vegetables, without re- pitality will get underway, gard to 1939 acreage lass than 80 The Tournament will con percent of the allotment." I ' 'This means" said County Agent Anthony, "that in the 1939 Con senvation Program full payment will be made with respect to cot ton, wheat, potatoes and commer vial vegetables as computed on the acreage allotment without regard to the provisions which formerly existed in the Act to the effect that the payment would be based on 125 percent of the planted acre age, if the planted acreage was less than 80 percent of the iJiol ment. "The producer with an allotment of the commodities men tioned wiuld receive full payment on the allotment even if they planted no acreage whatever of those commodities in 1939. As a result of the foregoing news there will be many planters who will now want to change their plans for planting in view of the Amendment to the Act, it was stated. Further information rel ative to the Amendment, may be obtained from Farm Agent An thony. Netters Capture Tarpon Saturday In Newport River Believe it or not, a tarpon, :;n their net while hauling just south of Newport Kiver bridge be tween Morehead City and Beaufort last Saturday. It is the first time that one of these mighty fighters, which Florida anglers call "silver kings" have ever been tak n in Newport River. Follow ing its catch, the fish was exhib ited in front of the Tibbett service station and fishing camp near the eastern end of the Bridge. In the party making the catch were Louis B. Willis and Lea Whitehurst, of Beaufort and Ash by Tibbett, of Clayton. To keep records straight, the tarpon was landed in a net owned by Mr. Wil lis and not with rod and reel. Tarpon, a species of game fish which annually attract thousands of anglers to Florida, are frequent ly taken in nets along the Central Carolina coast, but seldom with rod and reel primarily because no one fishes for them with rod and reel. FILING INFORMATION Candidates seeking municipal offices must file and pay fees to City Clerk not later than 10 days before election, it was stated here.

Low scores for the present are McQuaid 75; Bill Skar ren 76. With a starting card of thirty and prospects of several addition al players before the month is out, this promises to be a real Tourney and apparently the players are having the time of their young lives. Standing for those that have reached the 18 hole mark so far are: McQuaid and Bill Skarren, even. Piggy Potter six up on Bly Noe. Charlie Chvensby nine up on Charlie Hassell. C. I..

Time On Carolina Coast tinue for a period of thres months, and it will embrace the entire coastline which has been divided into three districts. Beaufort is head quarters for District 2, which will take in the coast from Hatteras Inlet to New River Inlet. Object of the event All Churches Have Good Attendance On Easter Day Two Legged Pig Lived One Week Although tha sow was normal, one of the pigs in her litter was born with only two lejs while two others were born stone blind, on the farm of Mr. and Mrs. King at Pinner's Point. The two legged pig lived for only one week. Had it survived and reached maturity, the chances are that it would have eventually found its way into a sideshow of freaks. I -AND VICTOR. MEEKINS This week Editor Brown takes the blame for the non-appearance of the interesting column "Now and Then" which is written by Vic tor Meekins and has gained a large following of readers in The Beaufort News. The copy for the column, sent several days ago in advance, told the tale of Pharoah Farrow, of Hatteras Island, who hoarded gold and who had what was perhaps the world's original 'child bride.' The grave marker of Mrs. Farrow indicates that she died at the age of only 10 years. In some manner the copy for the ! column was misplaced when it was nlaced upon Edior Brown's desk Unless you have seen the Editor's desk you perhaps cannot under stand how this could happen. If you have seen the desks he use? in The Beaufort News office you will readily understand and per haps wonder why more things are not lost. As a matter of fact things ?.re buried one week and retrieved several weeks later on Editor j Erown's desks, but seldom does Easter services in St. Paul's column copy meet this fate. We j Episcopal Church last Sunday apologize and 'Now and Then" by j proved to be as beautiful and iu its creator Victor Meekins will ap-1 spiring as ever before in the his pear as usual next week.

(Stedman Pho to, cut used through courte sy News and Observer.) Excellent Programs Presented During Easter Season Churches of Beaufort had excellent attendance during the baster season. A fea ture of several of the church es were beautiful programs carrying out the theme of the season. Briefly in ,the fol lowing paragraphs will be found resumes of the pro grams and worship on Eas ter Day. Ann Street Methodist Large numbers of Easter wor- i snipers attended the services and j programs at Ann Street Methodist j Church on Sunday. At 9:45 I o'clock the primary groups of the ( Church presented, under the di j rection of Miss Lottie Sanders, an inspiring and appropriate service. Mrs. Otis Moore accompanied the youthful singers at the piano. Ex ceptionally beautiful was the duet "Easter Miracles" by young Hor ace I.oftin and Mary Johnson. Others taking part in the program included children from the little tut age through the primaiy ilo parttment. Using as his subject "The Great and Glad News of the P.essurrec tion," the pastor, Pvev. Louis D. Hayman, preached to an auditori um filled with listeners at the 11 o'clock services. As the choir en tered the choir loft, Mis. Jcne.-, organist, rendered a beautiful se lection. Easter offerings in this and all the churches of Beaufort were very generous during the day. During the evening a cantata was presented by the choir. Several beautiful organ numbers by Mrs. Virginia Hassell were rendered as a prelude to "The First Easter." Beautiful decorations made the auditorium of the church a perfect setting for the three Easter pro- i grams at Ann Street Methodist St. Paul's Episcopal Church. F armers r-o i Together And Get Better Prices For Their Crops Soil Conservation Checks Arriving In County For Farmers Soil Conservation checks in the sum of $7,183.93 were received at the County Agent's office this week for distribution. This amount rep resented funds for 131 different farmers on 116 of some 650 farms in the County. About 750 farmers in Carteret will receive checks of various amounts depending on their particular allotment. The first group to receive checks were notified immediately upon the ar rival of the checks at the County Agent's office. Farm Agent Anth ony advises farmers to wait until they are notified before calling the office for their checks as it would only cause confusion, ask- ig for something which had not ar rived. Farmers who are scheduled to receive checks will be notified within a few hours after arrival that same is waiting for them in the County's Agent's office. BOOKMOBILE TO SERVE READERS IN THIS COUNTY WPA Project Will Begin For Two Months May 1 Sponsored by the Carteret Board of Education, a WPA Bookmobile will begin ope rations in the county for a period of two months, start ing May 1, it was announced this week by Mrs. Norma Sawyer, Area Supervisor of WPA Library projects who was in Beaufort conferring with Miss Sara Rumley, County Super visor of Library projects.

Stick U Cabbage Sold For $50 Per Ton On Monday Sermons And Sermons Enlarge Auction Shed With increased facilities an enlarged auction snea and two intensely interested and hard working individu als, who believe it can be op erated successtully and at a profit to farmers of Carteret County, the Beaufort Auc tion Market will open here next Wednesday, April 19, at the very time growers will start harvesting their cabbage. Al and prices at the field have been ready a few cabbage have been cut very satisfactory, but when sold to competitive buyers through the Auction Market, farmers, if they will cooperate and consistently re fuse to sell to truckers, will realize the best prices they have ever re ceived, or at anyrate better prices than they have received in recent years.

I recomen ded" Oregon Inlet primarily De cause it is practically the onjj place on the North Carolina Coast where these mighty fighters of the surf have ever been taken to any extent by the trolling method. Then too, when he called it was blowing a half gale in Beaufort, and I thought perhaps the weath er would be better, perhaps up at Oregon. I told him to contact Victor Meekins, which he did, ani Victor very wisely told him that it would be better if he came a bit later in the season, when weather conditions were more settled. IT IS ALWAYS a gamble com ing to the coast for only a day or two before June, although some of the best catches of the season are made before that time. It is a gamble because one can never forecast the weather. It might be (Continued on Page 3) TIDE TABLE Information as to the tide at Beaufo.-t is given in this column.
