MEEKINS (Continued from Page 1) It was a balmy day in summer h 'n a stiff south breeze blew up the sound and made one ciave to 'apse into the light-keeper's chair and v. do the winds caresses. What i di'ligHful life it seemed it voul. i be. to tay here, with nothing to do hut watch the light, and read good hooks and be visited anon by delightful friends. I never thought the lightkeepers had to paint the buildings and keep it scrubbed ; mi white, to cook their ow n meals Sunshine Plentiful On Carteret Coast There were twenty-four absolutely clear days, four partly cloudy and three cloudy during the month of May on the Carteret Coast, according to the official re port of cooperative observ ers of the U.

How the lighthouses must be missed by the captains and the fisheimen plying along this bold waterway in fair weather and in foul. What a comfort on a stor my night when the mariner firsts detects the faithful night for which he has so anxiously watched and which reassures him he is safe from sand bar, or dangerous shore. How lonely the fisheiman might be off there to his nets where he could scud down on the light in case of trouble with hi.; craft. Big or little, on a clear day, crafts sailed close to the light house to give salute with bell or whistle and hear the deep toned answering bell salute him from the house. Often the salute would he needlessly given, but sportively, to rouse the lightkeep er fiom his breeze-fanned reverie in the big armchair beside the rail. For he must needs return the sa lute, and sometimes vexing words instead of cherry greetings were exchanged from tail to rail. In my boyhood the passing sails were thick and often along this waterway. Chuining steamers every day plowed through these waters. The busy artery of com merce has gradually been strang led by huge motor trucks that COUNT THE EXTRA SMOKES IN gameis nmrfV WW fmt vmmw.immimwm.m By burning 25 sower than the average of the 1 5 other of the largest selling brands tested slower than any of them - CAMELS give smokers the equivalent of C0STUER TOiACCOS PENNY FOR PENNY YOUR BEST CKMRITTS Biff! thunder down the highways, tak ing toll of life and limb, as well as driving good old boats to bone yards. Born maybe thirty years too soon, I deplore the passing of the lighthouses now considered obso lete. It is the taking away of an institution time-honored by its usefulness to humanity, and con secrated by the devotion of the men who kept alight their warm ing beams. For the going of the lighthouse means also the passing of that delightfully friendly, friend and neighbor, the lighthouse keeper. Like most men whose daily bread comes from serving human ity, he too was a faithful family man, a man who served his com munity well, whose home as well as his lighthouse was well-painted and well-kept. He was a man whose generosity reached out to his neighbors, a man who kept his word and paid his debts. I believe the lighthouses male better men of any men who were called to keep them. For their exacting discipline required their utmost faithfulrtess to their fel low man asea in quest for bread. The daily routine helped to make the lighthouse man exact and ure in all his daily walk, and he became a leading figure in his community. He was sustained al so, by the reassurance of steady employment at comfortable wa ges, and knew that only his mis conduct might Use him his job. Yes, it was a wonderful train ing school and opening for a live lihood that young men might look forward to. It made better men of good men, the kind of people so sadly needed in this world today. The tearing down of a mere light house, so much wood and iron, is mere incidental in the fast-flying years. But it is a crucifixion of a spirit that dwelled therein and had shed its blessings and benefi cence on mankind so long that counts. I call it tragic and I grieve at the rapid going of these fine structures that once so com fortingly dotted the sounds and rivers of Eastern North Carolina. Increasing The U. S.
