H. Meadows farm. His or ganization will also buy consider able produce from farmers in the county. Since the bean harvest began approximately 1,000 baskets have been shipped from Beaufort Farms Inc., and additional shipments are being made daily. Beets, another vegetable grown by Beaufort Farms Inc., are moving. Market ing of Beaufort Farms Inc., is handled by M. Trombetta and Sons. Because he could not get ex perienced labor locally, it was nec essary for Mr. Esposita to bring in a group of workers from his or ganization's farms in New York State, but most of the employees on Beaufort Farms Inc., are na tives of Carteret County. Up to 150 persons are employed during the peak of harvesting season. Headquarters for Beaufort Farms Inc., and M. Trombetta and Sons in Carteret County is the old Corbet Packing Company shed near the railroad spur at the elec tric Ight plant. The interior of this building has been re-constructed, to provide proper facilities for the nackins of nroduce and to matoes in particular. Beaufort Farms Inc., expect to start harvest ing tomatoes around June 10. PRETTY CHURCH AT CORE CREEK OPENEDSUNDAY Col. Dickinson Gave Church To Former Neighbors REV. W. Y. STEWART PREACHED SERMON Hundreds of persons were present for the opening of Community Church at Core Creek last Sunday, and ev eryone, especially those res idents who will worship reg ularly there, were highly pleased with everything, from the minister's fine sermon to the excellent response shown by visitors, to the Community Church which Col. F. S. Dickinson, of Rutherford, N. J., built for his former neighbors. There was no fanfare or no ded ication exercises in connection with the opening of the church. It was as if the people of the com munity who have been worshiping in the nearby wooden structure, built a hundred or more years ago, had been going to the new church for services regularly for a long time.

Her work with the young folks at the children's hour at 3 :00 P. M. each day is a delight. Even though Dr. Banister came so highly recommended the people have been delightfully surprised at the helpfulness of his messages. He is heart and soul in the work of helping others. He announced at the first service that he had not come to go swimming or fish ing or engage in other sports that all of us like, but to give himself without reserve to the work of the meetings in progress. He de nounces sin but seeks to help the sinner. His sermons are clear as crystal. They are pungent. There is pity and pathos and unusual power in his messages. The at (Continued on Page 4) James IT.

Easy living and easy achievement have contributed greatly to making the human race effeminate, soft and weak. The cvcle of human life may be expected, in reason, to encompass a definite amount of pain, of fear, or of anguish; and without experiencing these, we might not so well be fitted to measure out kindness, and justice and charity toward our fellowman. Unless one has the guts, his ca pacity for accomplishment is lim ited. "Guts" means the grim, unflinching determination to suc ceed with honor, regardless of the cost. Some success may not be worth the price, but who is there that always may fairly judge? I have seen many deserving men struggle from small beginnings through great hardships and re verses to found a growing business just ready to flourish, yvith all prospects wonderfully encouraging like a sailing vessel before a fair wind, their sails have suddenly jibed across and upset their ven tures.

This is lower than the start ing price of 1938 when No. Is brought as high as $1.40, but not as low as the closing prices of 1938 which was 90 cents. The foregoing prices are FOB Beau fort.

In Carteret County, the same kind of beans were bringing only $1. It proves what an auction mart can do in stabalixing and increas ing prices for produce. that it was impossible to operate profitably for the farmers, and due to lack of demand for the commodity, re-opened the market today to handle beans, potatoes, and any other produce, which Carteret farmers care to sell to competitive bidders.
