Atlantic Beach Planning To Have
A Big July
Urges Interest In
Coast Guard Week
"We ought to make the 150th
Anniversary of the Coast Guard
the biggest event ever known on
the North Carolina coast," says
Victor Meekins, of Manteo, chair
man of the celebration in Dare
County August 2-6... "We owe
much to the Coast Guard, and the
history of the service owes much
to our men of Dare County and
North Carolina. It is now a much
neglected branch of the Govern
ment service; it is not right that
it should receive the inattention
that has fallen to its lot. We should
join hands and demonstarte our
faith and loyalty to the service,
and to prove that it deserves much
better attention than it is get
ting." Serving on the committee
with Meekins from the Central
Coast will be Capt. James H. Gan
nett, of Ocracoke and Aycock
Brown of Beaufort.

MATERIALS FOR
BRIDGE ARRIVE
Harkers Island To
Be Connected To
Mainland
Materials for the State
Highway sponsired, WPA-
built Harkei's Island Bridge
is arriving daily according to
Supervisor Philip K. Ball,
and work on the project is
progressing satisiactonly.
The bridge which will connect
the island with the mainland at
Straits Community should prove of
great value to the citizens of Har
kers Island despite the fact that it
is not being constructed at the
place the majority of interested
residents of the County wanted it.
It was the wishes of the majority
of citizens that the bridge be con
structed between Harkers Island
and Lerioxville Point. State High
way officials contended that the
cost for this route was prohibitive.
The draw bridge which will be
provided for the bridge is already
on location and is being painted at
the present time by WPA worker.
The project is providing much
needed employment for many cit
izens in that section who have
suffered economic reverses due to X
poor crops
and poor fishing, f
Through the construction of the
bridge between Straits and the Is
land, a new and improved road
will be constructed through that
thriving farming section.

As Objective
"HOGS VS CHILDREN"
Dr. Warden L. Woodard,
Beaufort dentist, was install
ed as president of the Rotary
Club here on Tuesday night
succeeding Aycock Brown,
editor who has served duriner :
the past year. Rather slack
attendance marked meeting
which started a new Rotary
year and attendance wa3
one of the subjects brought
out by the new president in
his briet talk.
Something is wrong with the lo
cal Rotary Club. Old time mem
bers who in the past seldom if ev
er missed meetings have gotten
into the habit of failing to attend
more than one in four meetings
which keeps them Rotary Club
members officially. Any Rota
rian who misses four successive
meetings without making up at- .
tendance at some other club is au
tomatically dropped from Rotary
roles unless that person has been
granted a leave of absence or has
missed meetings due to illness.
Each Rotarian present on Tuesday
night were appointed one-men
committees to determine from
those who have not been attend
ing regular, just what their inten
tions are. The thought as ex
pressed by members present on
Tuesday night is to determine
whether the club will continue
with 15 members or reduce that
number to a smaller group.
HOGS VS CHILDREN
President Woodard stated that
he had no set program for the
year but suggested that with the
cooperation of the local club and
Morehead City Club that it might
be possible to get either a part
time or full-time health depart
ment for Carteret County. The
idea is not a new one because
both clubs in the past have made
every effort to get the Carteret
County Commissioners interested
in establishing such a department.
One of the objects of Rotary is
child welfare work. It is the opin
ion of Rotary members in Beau
fort (and also Morehead City) that
nothing would advance the wel
fare of the children of Carteret
County as a whole, as much as a
health department. Dr. Woodard;
