Fishing And
All Outdoors
By AYCOCK BROWN
MY TELEPHONE was busy un
til late Sunday night. Enthusias
tic guides, whose parties had
made exceptionally good catches
of Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish,
Channel Bass, Sea Bass, Trout,
and other species in waters of
Beaufort Channel, Newport River-Bog-ue
Sound at Atlantic Beach
bridge, the Inlet, Cape Lookout
nd Drum Inlet kept calling to
give their reports. On Monaay
ger boat Hadsco, from that thriv
ing Banks village to the mainland
came word that the week-end fish
ing at Ocracoke was above par for
the season with the arrival of many
anglers. The Hatteras region has
attracted more fishermen this
year than ever before, due to the
splendid plugging the place haa
been given by Tom Eaton, opera
tor of the new freight and passen
and the end of n ribbon pave
ment that spiderwebs over the en
tire continent from Englehard.

My Neighbor
Says:
Ammonia and water will remove
red Ink stains from white goods.
Heat a lemon thoroughly before
squeezing and you will obtain nearly
double the quantity of juice.
A piece of cheese about the size
of a walnut added to potato or onion
soup gives it a delicious flavor.
v- .
To give house ferns a rich, green
color, add a teaspoon of household
ammonia to one quart of water and
pour over the ferns once or twice a
month.
When tablecloths wear thin in the
center, cut up the outside into 12
or 16-inch squares and hemstitch.
These make napkins that will wear
lor some time.

UNION REVIVAL
CLOSED SUNDAY
Dr. Banister And
Mrs. Barnes
Popular
The Union Revival Meet
ings of Beaufort came to a
close last Sunday with large
crowds at both morning and
evening hours of worship.
Mrs. Barnes was at her best
in the solos she sang at those
services. The Sunday serv
ices were held at the Baptist
Church in the morning and at Ann
Street Methodist Church at night.
Each pastor of these two churches
preached when the services were
held in his church. Dr. Banister
had returned on Saturday to be
with his own church at Oxford on
Sunday.
The various churches will open
their doors for the reception of
new members next Sunday.
The joint committee of the
churches sponsoring the meetings
speak in highest praise of the
leadership in this series of meet
ings and are gratified with the
large crowds that attended. They
also reported nil bills paid and a
fairly good offering for the visit
ing helpers. The total amount
raised for the incidental expenses
and the thank offering to the
helpers amounted to about $$250.
"That was about one-fifth of the
money that the same crowds would

Core Creek Church

From Many Places
Core Creek Community Church

that section of Carteret County.
Worshipers attending the services

VICTOR. MEEKINS
The demolishment of a light
house is like the passing of a faith
ful friend. Each year witnesses
the going of one or more of thes:
time-honored institutions. The
other day a wrecking crew cann
and tore down Croatan light whic!
from my earliest recollection ha
guided vessels along this hold wi.
tcrway.
They replaced it with a litth
mechanical flashing beacon set
upon a post. And once again man
made contraption displaces man
and takes his job.
I recall the delightful aspects of
the lighthouse, as associated with
my childhood. Screwpile lights
they were called and one stood at
either end of the sound. I could
look up the shore from where 1
waded as a barefoot boy and see
Croatan light three miles away, or
down the sound and see Roanoke
Marshes light. Sometimes I of
ten wished I could grow up to be
a lighthouse keeper. It seemed
that this would be an easy job with
good pay. My longing to see a
lighthouse was one day rewarded
by being permitted to climb an
Iron ladder from the water, to
emerge through a trapdoor where
I stood upon the deck of the light
house. I marvelled at the clean
white paint and painful neatness
of the walls, the well-scrubbed
floors, and wondered how things
could be kept so clean. Out over
the water, many miles from land,
there are few people to traipse
indoors, no dust or smoke.

Barden Outlines
Progress On
Projects
LIGHTS ASSURED
FOR BARDEN CUT
Improvements for Beau
fort Harbor, which have
been sought for many years,
but which could never seem
t obe gotten, have been ap
proved and as a result, the
width and length of the har
bor, now far too small and
inadequate to care for the ever
increasing traffic will be improv
ed. Credit for getting approval
on the harbor projects goes to
Congressman Graham A. Barden,
Major George Gillette, District
Engineer, and to the Chamber of
Commerce of Beaufort. The lat
ter organization has during the
past four years led the fight to
get better harbor facilities through
the preparation of briefs and ev
idence. Town of Beaufort offi
cials and local navigation inter
ests generaly in Beaufort have al
so greatly assisted in finally get
ting the proposed work approved.
At a recent hearing before Dis
trict Engineering officials in the
Court House here, evidence was
presented by the Chamber of
Commerce, Beaufort Fisheries,
Inc., The Fish Meal Company, R.
Hugh Hill, Mayor George W.
Huntley and others interested that
the present project extending from
Inlet Inn pier to Piver's Island with
a width of from 200 to 400 feet
should be made GOO feet wide and
expended to the foot of Marsh
Street. The result today was out
