Thursday, October 24, 1940. Thursday, October 24, 1940 Airline Service A Step Nearer The Beaufort News ha been a consistent booster for a scheduled airway to serv our Carteret Coast. For th past five years we have done every bit ot promotiona work possible, alone with the aid of the Chamber of Commerce, the Town o Beaufort and interested citi zens of Beaufort and More head City. Our promotion al efforts until this week con sisted of a lot of planning, a srreat deal of publicity, and the construction of runways at the W est Beaufort landing field. We have known that it was only a matter of time before we would have an air line serving this territory but there were certain details to work out. These details have been worked out and it is only i matter of a few weeks per baDs until Beaufort-More head City will have a daily (mavbe twice daily) airline connection with Norfolk, via the Outer Banks. The new airline is being financed by the Stanlev Wahab interests Its orjeration will be under the management of Dave Driskill who knows the Out er Banks of the Carolina coast better than any other airman. There is hardly a foot of beachland that he has not set a plane down on dur ing his flying career at Man teo. The only detail now to be worked out is to get the per mit for operation from the CAA and to purchase a large cabin plane in addition to the plane the organization now has. The CAA will grant the permit immediately, it is understood. The Company which is headed by Wahab will purchase the additional plane immediately, (because they have the money and plenty of it) and then ser vice begins. Serving Their United States The Beaufort News wishes to take this opportunity to commend members of the Selective Service Draft board of Carteret County. The gen tlemen of this Board are tak ing time off from their busi ness to serve their Country when good men are needed to serve. They receive no pay. Their work has just be gun, but they have gotten off to a most splendid start. Credit too, and commenda tion should go to the Chair man of the Board of Elec tions, the Superintendent of Public Schools and the Clerk of Superior Court for making such a splendid choice. It would be har l to find better men for this most important job. The Beaufort News also wants to take this opportun ity to commend the registrars of the various precincts and all persons who so freely gave their time, and efforts last week to register all men in Carteret between the ages ol ,l and 36. hveryone who were asked to help, did so without making any excuses. Many volunteered their serv ices. The result was that the work which would have usually taken much time was handled efficiently and in short order. It was a most splendid spirit of coopera tion between those who serv ed as registrars (and receiv ed no pay) and those who ac tualy registered. It is the patriotic spirit which will eventually show the world that Democracies will live while dictatorship form of governments will fail. SPORT LUES By J. W. STEWART Beaufort put a real football team on the field last Friday and as a result emerged victor by a score of 13 to 0 over Williamston. This is the first game in two seas ons that the local eleven has won. Chappell and Williams did some excellent kicking and Mason and Austin carried the ball, Austin for the end run and Mason for line plunging. The team was a real team last Friday, working together in all de patments. No passes were at tempted by Beaufort but it played the straight old game of power What caused this sudden change it unknown but it is to be hoped that the boys will from now on keep in good spirits and put the team that they put on the field last Fri day on the field every game that they piny. A fair attendance witnessed the game. Several of the school's committeemen wen- present and it is hoped that more will attend tomorrow')! game. Beaufort will play Vanceboro tomorrow, game starting at 2 P. M. Let's everybody go out and support the local team. With your support the boys can and do work better. Moehead lost to Kinston last Friday by a score of 27 to 0. To morrow night they will journey to New Bern and play there under the lights. 8 LETTERS Letter From China WPA RECREATION ACTIVITIES By MATTHEW MARSHALL Public Oyster Roasts On Friday the 25th at four o'clock and after if you happen to ride down the east Waterfront Drive you will probably see a group enjoying an oyster roast. Well that is your oyster roast, al the community is invited, boys and girls, men and women. But be su ou have your knives, pickles and ratkeis if you want any for only the oysters are "free for the ask- ng." This is a part of the WPA Rec reation plans for the fall and win ter, to have these oysters roasts for the public twice a month. Al- eady there have been two and ev rybody enjoyed them and have een asking when there wiuld be nother. Hallowe'en Party. Next week is Hallowe'en! On Thursday night, the 31st, the Rec reation Center at the Legion Hut, ill be thrown wide open to the oys and girls ot the town for a Hallowe'en frolic. Will be glad to have the adults, too. Pre-School Work To the Editor: Noting that you are editor of The News in Beaufort, North Car olina, I am sending just a few line, to tell you how much I enjoyed your article "Cape Stormy" which appeared in The Saturday Evening Post on August 3. The issue of the Post did not reach this section of China until more than a month af ter publication, the reason you have not had a letter from me ear lier. Born on tidewater in southern New Jersey, I have always been in terested in the Hatteras region and your article gave me more infor mation than I have ever been able to get before. During a recent furlough I decided to drive down. I spent several days in Manteo and started one fine morning in Octo ber down the coast, but got no further than Oregon Inlet. It wa either at the full or change of the moon and there was too much wa ter on the road at high tide. Hope someday to be more successful. If you have written any other ar ticles on Hatteras, or plan to write in the future, I will greatly appre ciate it if you will let me know in which publication they appear. 8 WHEN CARTERET'S FIRST DRAFTEES WENT TO CAMP I Reprinted From The Beaufort Newt, September 14, 1917 Last Saturday morning there gathered at the local railway sta tion a large number of ladies and gentlemen to say "goodby" and to extend words of comfort and cheer to the first five men from Carteret County who left for Columbia, S. C, to enter training for service in the United States Army. The men to leave were: Willis Davis, Da vis; Fred H. Trott, Stella; Micheal T. Sorrovich, Sea Level; John An toniab, Morehead City, and Wade H. Latham, Morehead City. The local chapter of tha Red Cross, prepared elegant lunches for the men while enroute, and St. Paul's band was on hand to render a few appropriate selections for the occasion. On September the 19, the second contingent of about 40 more will leave and they will be followed on October 3 with a third contingent of the same num ber, and thefourth will leave short ly after the third. Much credit is due the local exemption board for the very zeal ous manner in which they have served the government since their work was commenced more than a month ago, and to say the very least, they have been exceedingly fair in their decisions. MORE ABOUT DRAFT (Continued from Page 1) Sincerely yours, Benjamin W. Harding, M. D. Floyd D. White Memorial Hospita; Ichowfu, Shantung, China, September 13, 1910.

A. B.) MORE ABOUT RAILROAD (Continued from page 1) Orthopaedic Clinic To Be Held Nov. 1 In Greenville, N. C. We wish to remind our readers of the State Orthopaedic Clinic to be held next Friday in Greenville, November 1st, from 12:30 to 4:00 P. M. This clinic takes all types of cripples, both white and colored, free of charge who are unable to anord private treatments. It is desired, though not required, that patients be referred by a physician or the Welfare Officer, and tha1. the patient bring such note to the Clinic. The Clinic is set up to serve es pecially the Counties of Beaufort, Carteret, Pamlico, Pitt, and Tyrell though patients from other Coun ties who desire to come may do so. The Clinic is conducted by Dr. Hugh A. Thompson, orthopaedist, Raleigh, North Carolina. This Clinic has been running for some thing over three years and is now seving a large number of cripples, adults as well as children, in this area. The Pitt County Health Depart ment unices are located at the corner of Third and Green Streets Greenville, North Carolina. made minor repairs to the trestle. The clearance is only 52 feet, which is 28 feet less than usually required for trestles or drawbridg es over the Inland waterway. The usual required span is 80 feet. ine meeting on isovemoer 7 is scheduled to be held in the Citv Hall in Moehead City. Several months ago a hearing in connec tion with the B. & M. trestle was held by a representative of the At lantic Deeper Waterways Associa tion. Col. George W. Gillette, then district engineer, attended the meeting and promised his coopera tion in helping local interests work out any plan which could be adopt ed without losing the railroad for Beaufort. Local officials of the railroad state that no satisfactory arrangements have been worked out to date. It is estimated that a new drawbridge to answer speci fications of the War Department would cost $75,000. That is a lot of money. Still there may be a way tj save the railroad for Beaufort anj the vast territory east which it serves and efforts are being made towards that end. The bridge constructed in 1907 is a swing span, with the naviga tion opening having a horizontal clearance of 52 feet and a verti cal clearance of 5.4 feet at mean low water. A highway bridge con structed in 1925, paralleling and 30 feet down stream from the rail road bridge, provides a horizontal clearance of 80 feet through its bascule drawspan. Chalk, of Morehead City, was named secretary, and William H. Bell, of Newport, is the third man. Dr. S. W. Thompson of Morehead City, is the examining physician and Julius F. Duncan of Beaufort, is the appeal agent. The local board is already at work on the assignment of se rial numbers which should be com pleted shortly. Registration cards from all parts of the country. from local men who registered elsewhere are arriving daily, and the local board is sifting through the 2,0(59 cards in Carteret to find men from other counties who reg istered locally. This detail wai- completed before the Board could proceed with the completion of se rial numbers. The numbers assigned will be posted in a public place and pub lished in newspaper; so draftees may know their numbers as speedi ly as possible. With this com pleted, activity of the-local Board will cease only momentarily until the first National Lottery is held1 then the task of assigning order numbers will begin. FOUND SMALL STRAY DOG.
