SAILBOATS IN RACE
From every indication the
Beaufort Rotary Club spon
sored sailboat races here on
Sunday will be a successful
event. To add excitement
to the occasion and to give
people something different
at a race, the Goldsboro
Drum and Bugle Corps under
the direction of Bob Moore
will be present to present
frequent drills and musical
entertainment.
The races will begin in front of
Inlet Inn dock. Courses for the
race will not be announced until
Sunday afternoon just before the
races begin as it will be necessary
to have courses with favorable
winds and no one today knows
which way the wind will be blow
ing on Sunday.
Graham W. Duncan, chairman
of the Rotary Committee in charge
of the races stated today that there
would be two or three classes en
tered, with the most picturesque
being the comets or star boats.
Dead rise sailing skiffs and other
classes will also be entered. On
the committee with Duncan are
Grayden M. Paul and Edgar
Swann.
Persons expecting to enter
boats should contact a member of
the committee immediately, and
register their vessels. A registra

Finds School Here
In A Run Down
Condition.
Thomas G. Leary, new
principal of Beaufrot Public
Schools arrived in Beaufort
several days ago and is at
present making preparations
to open the local institution
for the Autumn session on
September 14. Mr. and Mrs.
Leary are making their home
in the Huntley Apartments
on East Front Street.
In a preliminary checkup on the
local conditions at the Beaufort
School the new principal found a
situation far from favorable. The
truth of the matter is that Beau
fort Public School is in a very run
down condition. Whether this is
the fault of previous principals,
previous school boards, or the of
fice of the county superintendent
or each of the agencies mentioned,
The Beaufort News will not at
tempt to say at this time but the
fact of the matter is that the Beau
fort School is in a bad fix. Princi

that he will make every effort to

John Laws Learns
About Thomas Laws
Of Texas H. Patrol
A few months ago when John
Laws of the State Highway Patrol
was making such a good record as
a marksman, his photo was made
by Aycock Brawn and released to
several picture syndicates. A few
weeks ago one of those pictures
appeared in a Texas newspaper
and was seen by one Thomas Laws
of the Lone Star State Highway
patrol.
The result was that Tom Laws
wrote John Laws to try and deter
mine if there was any family con
nections. It was a sort of coinci
dence that two men by the names
of Laws should be on State High
way Patrols in two different
States. Insofar a3 John Laws,
native of Hillsboro, but stationed
now in Morehead City knows
there i3 no family connection.
Tom Laws is stationed in Lubbeck,
Texas.

Fishing And
All Outdoors
By AYCOCK BROWN
MORE PUBLICITY has been
given the salt water fishing on the
North Carolina coast this year
than ever before. Seldom a day
passes, but what such outdoor wri
ters as Donald Stillman, N. Y.
Herald Tribune; Fred Fletcher, N.
Y. Daily News; Raymond Camp, N.
Y. Times; Bob Wilson, Washington
Herald Times; Norman Chambliss,
Baltimore Sun; Hammond Browa,
Baltimore News Post and others do
not mention the fishing along the
coast and it has resulted in more
out of state aglers coming to our
sections to fish during the summer
of 1939 than in any or possibly all
previous years.
MAJORITY OF credit for this.
out of state publicity goes to Bill
Sharpe and his stable of ace writ
ers and photographers. Bill i3

Department of Conservation and

which was written last winter on

Sports Afield appeared in the
current edition of Readers Di

same article appeared in a recent
edition of the digest size magazine
"Youth Today". It does not prove
that Brown is such a wbale of a

N. C. Fisheries Inc., has
closed temporarily while
plans developed and being
worked out by Dr. Herbert

Stanley Woodland, general
manager, for processing
clams on a large scale is un

Dr. Prytherch, stated that tha
plant expected to be closed only
temporarily while the clam, pro

worked out by General Manager
Woodland are perfected and put'
into operation. He indicated that
the plant would open again during
the Autumn fishing season, and be
operated on an entirely different
method than in the past.
It is planned by the corporation
to use N. C. Fisheries as a price
stabilizer for seafood products. In
other words, as Dr. Prytherch puts
