Notes of a Bystander The Front Pages: As long as the Rome and Berlin papers keep print , ing, Britain doesn't need a propa ganda force. The Axis' squawks about the British attacks will have the whole world despising them even more than now . . . The trouble with covering plane attacks, confides James Aldrich from the British Mediterranean fleet, is that you de velop "a tendency to see in the sky things you think are planes." Of course, you feel much relieved when they are planes. . . . It's good Huey Long didn't liv. His promise to make every man a king wouldn't be much of an inducement these days . . . The editorial salutes to the history and meaning of the City of London made shudders rhumba across the body. We recall similar editorials about Prague, Warsaw, Vienna and Paris much too remi niscent of an obituary notice. C. V. R.

Davis, register of deeds and Harold C. Taylor of Sea Level, returned Tues day night from Washington where on Monday they ap peared with Representative Graham A. Barden of the Third Congressional District before the War Depart ment's River and Harbor Board to make an appeal for better navigation and harbor facilities at Davis and Sea Level and other communities of Core Sound. Congressman Barden plead in particular for Sea Level and Da vis, small shallow water fishing communities which he asserted as no waterway projects which could "pay richer dividends per dollar spent." He said that for a few thousand dollars each of these communities could be connected with deep wa ter. Both Davis and Taylor gave evidence in behalf of the projects. Congressman Barden asked the board to reimburse two individu als (Captain James R. Morris and Dr. 0. C. Daniels) who provided the local contribution on a WPA project which resulted in the im provement of the harbor at Atlan tic. It was necessary when tU project was approved that locpl (See Harbor, Page 8) BINGO RAFFLE A Bingo party, sponsored by the Woman's Club will be held in the old Joe House Drug Store location c- 1,.. r ,....

S. Engineering of fice in Richmond received this week it was announced that the War Department agencies had ac ted unfavorably on the proposal to improve Bogue Inlet. The prin cipal grounds for the adverse con clusions were based on the cost of project which in opinion of engi neers would greatly exceed the an ticipated benefits. Interested parties have the priv ilege of appealing to the decision by appearing before ,the perma nent Board of Engineers in Wash ington. This will probably bo done at a date to be announced la ter. The hearing before the Wil mington office engineers was held in the Schoolhouse at Swansboro last Spring and quite a number of representatives from Beaufort and Morehead City appeared and gave evidence in behalf of the improve ment.
