At Banquet On
Monday
Swept off his feet by a
testimonial banquet that
came as a climax to the open

celebration on Ocracoke Is
land and of Lindsey Warren
Week, Congressman Warren
f roped for words to express
is emotions on Monday
night as the plaudits of near

quet subsided and then finally
gave it up as an impossible task
; and proceeded to tell the people
who were gathered to pay him

have been done and are being

"The people of the coast of
North Carolina," he declared, in
concluding his talk, "are intimately

Covering The
Waterfront
By AYCOCK BROWN
A FEW YEARS ago it took me
"three days to make the trip from
Beaufort to Ocracoke Island due
to stormy weather. First day of
the three was spent in getting to
Atlantic and learning that the
m&ilboat had not run due to rough
waters. It was necessary to stop
overnight at an Atlantic Inn. The
mailboat 'failed to show up the fol
lowing day so during the afternoon
I took passage on a commercial
fish boat which was going as far as
Portsmouth. It was almost night
when we reached Portsmouth and
it was necessary to stop overnight
there with friends who assured me
that on the following morning I
could get passage across the Inlet
to Ocracoke aboard a Coast Guard
or fishing boat. Early the next
(Continued from Page 8)
'' VICTOR? MEEKINS
I have just ended a drive of 400
miles. While a curious public
travelled to Dare's beaches and
filled every available room, largely
because the First Lady of the Land
visited this county, I was paying
a visit to a young woman four day
old in the perfect pink of condition
' and weighing six and a half
pounds.
As one approaches his two score
and two, he begins to have a feel-
s ing that about all the thrills of life
are exhausted. In this crowded
today, one soon experiences so
many things, that little is left to
look forward to. But I had not
taken into account the thrill of be
ing the father of a daughter for
; th first time.
i Nothing I had anticipated is just
' like it. To look at this little mote
of humanity wailing for her lunch
with great eagerness and to realize
the pride of the mother, who has
seen her fondest hopes come true
after mothering two sons, gives me
much to think about. Thjs new ex
perience seems a little mrre or
at least a little different thai, see
ing two sons grow up. It is a
challenge.
Sometime ago I was thinking,
that now, after working 14 hours
a day for several years, and worry
ing time on end about how to make
ends meet, and deploring the time
I lost from my family and my
friends, it occurred to me I should
hope for less apd do less work.

PEOPLE HERE
DO NOT CARE
FOR EXHIBIT
Art Exhibition May
Be Moved Into
Beaufort
People hereabouts do not
care for art exhbits. That
is what one would judge at
any rate considering the lack
of patronage shown by local
people to the exhibit down at
Community Center. Since it
opened on June 17, less than
a dozen Beaufort people have been
down to see the paintings. As a
matter of fact more people from
other states have visited the exhib
it than local people or residents of
North Carolina towns and cities.
The trouble may be that the ex
hibit is located too far away from
town. At the present time Cham
ber of Commerce officials are con
sidering the feasibility of moving
the exhibit into Beaufort If
brought to town, it will probably be
placed in a local firm near Front
Street and admission will be free.
Before leaving for the West
Coast last Saturday Professor Ivy
gave some interesting criticisms on
the exhibit.
Ivy's Criticism.
The First Annual Beaufort Ex
hibition is made up of twenty-seven
paintings, representing artists
from the West Coast, the Middle
West and the South. The largest
number came from the South. The
usual flower paintings found in so
many southern exhibitions in the
past are not to be found here not
even one magnolia. At least two of
the painters, Mary Leath Stewart
and Mary Burgess are interested in
the racial and social problem of
the industrial areas. In only a few
instances are these people inter
ested in frankly picturesque mater

If you failed to witness the
baseball game nere last Sun
day you missed one of the
best games ever played on
the local diamond. It was
was tight like that from be
gining to finish and anyone's
game tor eleven innings.
For eight innings there was not
an error and only 2 hits, both sides
playing air-tight ball. There were
several snappy and thrilling plays
by both sides and it was only until
the 12 that the visiting pitcher
weakened and C. Rice was safe on
first and was sacrificed to second
by Longest and scored on Ed Pot
ter's single.
If you want to see the good ones
you have. to attend all of the games
to do so.
The local team has played six
games so far and won 5 of them
which is no bad record.

Whales And Sails
Taken On Coast
Of Carteret
After a 55-minute battle
the Gulf Stream off CaDe
in
tiatteras Monday morning,
the second and biggest blue
marlin ever taken north of
Bimini was landed by Mar
shall Dana of Cincinnati who
was fishing with Hugo Ruth
erfurd aboard his new cruis
er Mako II. While blue mar
lin was making news in the Hat
teras sector, E. E. Crow, Wilson
banker was getting on the front
page in Carteret County as a re
sult of capturing a 60-pound sail-
fish off Cape Lookout while fish
ing aboard Owen G. Dunn's boat
On the same day, killer whales
swam into the spotlight in Carteret
and out of a school of five or six
two or three were landed, one of
which was towed into Beaufort
and placed on display at the "Shark
Pen" near Beaufort draw.
The great fish landed by Dana
of Cincinnati measured 13 feet
two inches in length and weigh
ed 594 pounds, shattering by a
wide margin the old record of 439
pounds made by Rutherfurd who
landed his marlin last year, the
first ever taken off North Caroli
na. Other dimensions of Dana's
marlin were: Girth, 62 inches

Fishing And
All Outdoors
By AYCOCK BROWN
FISHING OFF the North Car
olina coast during the past week
was worthy of front page news
throughout the country. Marshall
Dana of Cincinnati and the blua
marlin he landed otf Hatteras Inlet
was the biggest news of the week
and his marlin, a 594 pounder
was the biggest of its species ever
taken north of Cuban waters. He
was fishing with Lloyd Styron,
widely known Hatteras guide a
board the Mako II, new deep-sea
cruiser owned by Hugo Rutherfurd
of New Jersey. Their successful
venture into the Gulf Stream Mon
day was their first trip out this
season.
E. B. CROW of Wilson, made
the initial catch of sailfish off Capo
Lookout this week. It is, I believe
the first sailfish ever taken with
rod and reel off North Carolina.
Crow was fishing from aboard the
Mary Lou II, fishing cruiser owned
by Owen G. Dunn.
IN THE OCRACOKE section
huge cabio were being landed by
anglers early in the week. The
