Average Prices For
Tomatoes Are
- Very Good
Thousands of bushels of
tomatoes which have passed
through Beaufort Auction
Market during the past weak
brought to growers from
twenty-five cents to a dollar
and a quarter more than
they would have received if
they had not sold through the
Chamber of Commerce sponsored
produce exchange. Bill Sermons,
the auctioneer is doing a good job.
He knows his business and has
gained the confidence of buyers
and sellers.
Highest prices paid for toma
toes -since the market opened .was
jser pusnei, .Hardly a
has passed but what 'the "average
price ranged from $1.50 to $1.65
per bushel.
County Farm Agent J. O. An
thony who is cooperating- with
buyers, sellers and growers, urges
all who have tomatoes for sale
through auction market to have
them graded properly. Farmers
are only hurting themselves when
J.hey try and deceive buyers at the
auction by placing the large toma
toes on top of the basket and
small inferior tomatoes on the bot
tom. Growers are not doing the
market any good when they try
and sell inferior quality tomatoes,
as was proven this week when cer
tain types of culls brought only 60
or 70 cents per bushel or lower,
Merchants Urged
To Display Glads
During Festival
Merchants and business firms a
long Front Street and the line of
march for the parade are urged to
display Gladiolus in their windows
on Friday and throughout the Fes
tival starting Friday. Local grow
ers have arranged to sel flowers
at a reasonable prices for this
purpose. The growers whom mer
chants should contact for flowers
are H. B. Avery and S. E. Hayne.
For only a few cents, merchants of
Beaufort can display Gladiolus in
their windows, adding to the at
tractiveness of the event, and also
showing visitors to our town that
we are interested in showing off
these flowers which are grown com
mercially and which are making
our famed section known through
out the country as a flower grow
ing localiyt.
CURIOUS CUKE
A curious Siamese twin-like cu
cumber weighing several pounds
was harvested by John Chapman
in bis garden near the schoolhouse
this week. It was sent to the ed
itor of the Beaufort News, where
many queer shaped vegetables and
oddities in general eventually find
their way. The cucumber oddity
the first queer looking vegeta
ble received at The Beaufort News
off! ce since Jack Humphrey
brought in the giant radish which
measured three feet in length from
tip of root t tip of green top.
Una, thep re-eminent resort of
the Palmetto State. Prices ranye4
from $700 to 1,375.

Fishing And
All Outdoors
By AYCOCK BROWN
THE IDEA might seem just a
bit screwy, but it popped in my
head last Saturday while flying
low over the waters of Beaufort
Inlet and Atlantic Beach with
Dave Driskill in his Stinson, and
I am determined to try it out
some time. When I can find an
aviator who will fly me to the out
er end of Lookout or Diamond
Shoals, over the western edge of
the Gulf Stream I hope we can
flush a school of dolphin, which
will have enough sporting instinct
to give us raca. I have seen dol
phin travel I believe at a hundred
miles an hour. The average plane
would make the same speed and I
want to try out such a race be
tween fish and plane, if for no
other reason, just for the hell of
it.

Highway Patrolmen
To Help Take Care
Of Parade Traffic
Although many persons herea
bouts may not have considered
the traffic situation seriously at
parade time on Friday morning,
the committee in charge of the
Gladiolus Festival have taken this
into consideration. Chief Walter
R. Longest and local police will be
assisted by at least six, possibly
10 State Highway Police in hand
ling the traffic. The State Patrol
men will be under the supervision
of Sergeant Bissette of New Bern.
The parade will start at 11:15
o'clock, but traffic police wil start
clearing streets of parked cars a
bout 10:30. To give visiting motor
ists a chance to find parking space
on streets away from Front and to
relieve the congestion, local own
ers are urged by Festival and
Town officials to leaTe their cars
at home or at any rate co-operate
by parking away from down town
area, -

Three Big Days
PUBLISHED WEEKLY

Three Day Event
To Begin With
Fri. Parade
The stage is set for the
first annual Gladiolus Festi
val and the showers which
came at noon today instead
of dampening the spirits of
the many citizens who have
shown such a tremendous
amount of cooperative inter
est in the event during the past
week believed that the rains would
as a matter of fact break the hot
weather which has had even resi
dents of the coastland sweltering
during the past few days. Al
though the dog-ears in today's
dailies indicated there would be
showers on Fridayr nothing but a
downpour will prevent the. street
parade from, starting on schedule
at 11:15 o'clock. ' The parade; will
not start until the Goldsboro-jun
ior tfrum and bugle corps and
swimming team arrive on the
morning train to the coast advised
J. Robert Moore, director of the
Wayne capital musical group that
he would arrive on time.
If the parade is a success, much
credit should go to J. Robert
Moore, the British born musical di
rector from Goldsboro. Since Sat
urday he has been making local
contacts and securing new features
for the parade, making arrange
ments for the housing of tha
youngsters in the band, and the
housing of the girls in the band
and aquacade team in private
homes. Moore leaves for Golds
boro today to give his group last
minute rehearsals before accom
panying them to the coast.
The finance committee has not
secured all the necessary funds
needed for presenting the events
planned, but it appears that the
amount necessary, a minimum of
$750 is in sight. Several gener
ous contributions had swelled the
