Hatteras Scenes Painted By Noted New York Artist An odd combination and circum stances has placed Cape Hattera.-, on record in as remarkable a series of paintings as have come off tho Carolina "Outer Banks", accord ing to a story under a New York date line written by John Selby, Associated Press Arts Editor. "The talents are those of De Hirsh Margules, long-time police reporter for the New York City News Service and a self-taught painter of watercolors. Although Margules knows New York better than nine-tenths of the guidebooks writers, the also likes to paint out-of-the-way pla ces. "He has painted in Tunis and quaint corners of Burgundy, in Paris and in Nova Scotia, Vermont and now Hatteras. In a month this summer, he did 15 watercolors of impressive proportions in a brillian, rater nervous style which seems unexpectedly appropriate to the peace and remoteness of what some sailors call the' 'Cape of Lost Hope.' "Margules lived in Hatteras with a fishing qaptau and Mrs. Mar gules brought back five pages of the remarkable, almost Chaucerain English spoken on the Banks, plus many stories of shipwrecks, See Hatteraj Page 8' Carteret County's NEW MEMBERS REQUIRED FOR REA PROJECT Discuss Plans For Getting Members At Meet Here Craven RP.

Bar don is making every effort with the Navy Department to have the port of Morehead City designated as a "port of call" for naval ves sels. This was announced in a letter from the Third District Rep resentative received on the teret Coast this week. Car- Congressman Bai'den has had the opportunity of seeing as many as four naval vessels in the More head City port at one time, not tc mention other vessels there, and he knows that the facilities offer ed are worth consideration by the Navy. Morehead City is the neat est port to the ocean along the At lantic Coast. The thought behind it all is to create more activity in the vicinity , of the port, and to give potential recruits of the navy an opportunity of seeing life aboard ship. Republicans Are Active In County Capt. George Brooks has been very busy recently organizing "Willkie For President" clubs in Carteret County. He stated today that active clubs had been organ ized at Stella,' Peletier, Bogue, Newport, Davis and Stacy. Clubs will be organized in other com munities between now and election day, it was stated.
