In another week and one day another species of bass those which live in fresh water will be available for plug casters and the waters of fresh water streams and lakes in Carteret are literally alive with them. During the past 30 days they have been permitted to spawn without inter ference from anglers. - MOST IMPORTANT catch of the week according to news reach ing me was made by a Dr. Max well and party of two from West Virginia. Guided by Ammie Willis of Davis, eight fish were landed from the surf. Four weighed a to tal of 111 pounds and four others averaged 20 pounds each.

C, Thursday, May Republicans Not Allowed To V Democratic Primary And ENTHUSIASM AT HIGH PITCH AS SENIOR PROM APPROACHES IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE As a result of newspaper adver tising, all of which was placed in The Beaufort News, the firm of Martin's, now liquidating " its stock in one of the most gigantic sales ever presented in Carteret County, has experienced most un usual success. E. D. Martin, own er of the firm told The Beaufort News this week that results were far better than he expected, and that he gave full credit to the space he took in this newspaper throueh well written advertise ments. Mr. Martin was also high in his praise for Mr. and Mrs Erickson of the national dales Corporation who are conducting the sale. There is still another item of importance which makes a liquidating sale successful and that is attractive prices. If you do not think the prices for merchandise at the current sale of Martin's are worth investigating, turn to the firm's advertisement elsewhere in this edition today. Better still, visit the firm in downtown Beau fort and see the many bargains which have been reduced to such low prices. Senator Simmons Of Craven County Died Tuesday Afternoon Senator F. M Simmons of Cra ven County, died at the home of his daughter Mrs. Wade Meadows in New Bern on Wednesday after noon. A large throng of persons throughout the State attended the final rites which were held Wed iiesdav afternoon. He represent. ed North Carolina in the U. S. S'ii at for 30 years.

Ward who died just a few days ago. During his 30 years in the Senate he did much for North Caiolina, and in Carteret County.

Regal Candidates Named By Each High School Enthusiasm among the juniors and seniors of thhe Carteret County Schools is at a high pitch as they ap proach May 3. the date set for the Fifth All-County Sen ior Class Dance at Atlantic Beach Casino, 8:30-11 :55 P. M., this being especially true of the girls who have been accorded the Leap Year priv ilege of breaking on anybody at any time during the entire evening. The gates will op?n at 8 :00 P. M. Plans for a pleasant and swift moving evening have been com pleted by competent committees, and tomorrow night's affair prom ises to be one of the most colorful and enjoyable events scheduled at the beach this season, weather per mitting. Both school officials and students are heartened by the fact that ideal weather conditions have prevailed for each of the four pre vious proms. Indications are that the decora tions will be enchanting, the grand march beautiful, the favor-- attrac tive, the kings handsome, the queens glamorous, the gifts valu able, the prizes worth-while, the Jitter Bug contest hot, and the ei tire evening one of those affairs which the juniors and seniors may stamp indelibly in their Book of Memories. Candidates for king and queen from the respective schools are as follows : King: Atlantic, Thomas Robin son: Beaufort, Clinton Vickery; Harkers Island, Luther Carroll Ye omans; Marehead City, Charle Freeman. Jr.; Newport, Roland Murdoch; Smyrna. Osborne Davis. Queen: Atlantic, Vergie Mae Gaskill; Beaufort, Virgie Pake Harkers Island, Lettie Willis Morehead City, Joyce Garner; Smyrna, Elsie Davis. The pre-season dance scheduled in the casino Saturday evening, May 4, will also be led by Randy Kirby and his orchestra and will afford the dance fans of the county as well as those too young or too old to be classed as juniors or sen iors, an opportunity of dancing to their heart s content. 1 his pre season dance can be made a real "occasion" both for the dance fans and for the Kirby organization. With a little encouragement from the home folks this musical outfit should soon be included among the many things putting Carteret County on the hap.

CARTERET REA GOAL HAS NOT BEEN REACHED While considerable interest has been shown in practically all of the communities proposed to be served the necessary membership goal for ths proposed REA project which would result in electricity being available for practically every ru ral resident of Carteret County has not yet been reached.

Deep Creek, Nine Foot Road and communities in Western Carteret a total of over $700 has been paid in by members, but much work is yet to be done if the project is re alized for the entire county.

It all sound? like a whirlwind vacation but as a matter of fact I will work harder this week-end than I ever work here in town and about the County. To these communities of the Out er Banks I am going on a magazine story assignment. THE PHOTOGRAPHERS who will i'.liistvnte the story with color pictures got off to an early start for the island yesterday. With limited time we have to work fast and the photogs got off a day r.head of time because . making kodachrome pics on the outside at anyrate is differene from the black and whites that I take and that you take if you are the aver age photographer or amateur like myself. It is essential that the sun is shining bright when pictures are made out in the open if you make them in color.
