iilren that wish to remain are given
the exercise and the opportunity to
j. actice good sportsmanship and
dfiiir play. I would like t ) stress
the necessity for your children to
remain at school (luring the physi
cal education program because
it :s essential that they have a
fining body as well as a strong
mind. This work is required from
the fourth through the eleventh
grades and is correlated with the
other subjects taught. No specif
ie fcrade is given for physical edu
cation but the activity within it
feel f subtracts or adds to the grade.1
(given in other subjects depending
upon the student's attitude and
willingness to play the game fair.
IMany of you are handicaping the
"progress of your child in this par-
t'.ular field due to the fact that
i are asking privilege for your
m:1 to be excused at the begin
if,. g of this physical education pe
riod and the point that I am trying
to get across to you is that this
is a regular scheduled class period
I make this statement because
many of you in your requests for
your child to be excused make the
-statement that he has no classes
after a certain period of the day.
"The rainy day" schedule for
the Beaufort School will run from
8:30 until 12:10, the same as
the regular scheduled day;
however, we will decide at
ten minutes to twelve o'clock
whether we will have one or
, two sessions that day. If
we decide to have one ses
sion you would be notified at
ten minutes to twelve by five
blasts from the fire whistle,
( this is made possible by the splen
did cooperation of the Beaufort
Fire Department). In case of the
one session twenty minutes is giv
en for the lunch period, beginning
the short session at 12:30 leaving
two 30-minute class periods, there-i

ny, ciosmg ai i:ou in tne arter
noon. Please be alert for the sig
nal if you suspect a one-session pe
liod. By doing this you will save
time for yourself and would assis:
us considerably due to the fact
that it is impossible for any of us
to be at the telephone answering
cuestions that are herein ex
plained. THOS. G. LEARY, Prin.
Hedy LaMarr Swims
With No Bathing Suit
In Coming Picture
The much discussed and sensa
tional motion picture "Ecstacy"
will be shown at The Beaufort
Theatre here next Thursday and
if movie goers are interested in
seeing lucious LaMarr in the nude,
the advance writeups of the pic
ture indicate it is possible in this
film which finally got through the
L'. S. Customs. The film has had
a hectic career throughout the
world due to censorship troubles,
but the chances are that Ecstacy
wont show as much of beautiful
Hedy, as that extra puarter you
may have paid recently showed of
Margo in the Miss America tent.
Xevetheless the uncensored ver
sion film hich was brought to the
United States fina'.Iy, should be of
interest because it is the one whic'i
put Hedy LaMarr one of the ultra
beauties of the American screen
on the road to fame. The picture
was voted as one of the most splen
did ever produced in Europe. Just
what that means in comparison to
pictures turned out by Hollywood
will be proven to you if you go to
The Beaufort Theatre next Thurs
day. Ecstacy is not a vulga, sex
show, so it will be safe for you all
to go without turning red in the
face, like you may have done if
you got hooked in on a "Midnight
Ramble" in the Negro Minstrel
tent at the recent fair.
Incidentally her name was Kies
ler instead of LaMarr when she
starred in the picture. That is
about all the advance writeup said
but it should be enough to pack
them in at The Beaufort Theatre
next Thursday.
"The Return of Frank Jones,
begins the pictures of the week at
The Beaufort Theatre. Gene
Tierney and Jackie Cooper are
featured in the picture with Eddie
Collins, George Barbier and Rus
sell Hicks. This picture starts on
Sunday for a three day run.

H t' ue that the cages which are be
iru: used to house the men are
crowded. There are as many as
1 5 men sleeping in a cage six feet

the other are three high. There
ere five sections of these 3?high

be there is a small stove for heating
purposes and a commode. Over
the commode is a spigot with run

ides are open and protected by
loss bars. During rainy or cold

Portsmouth Wants
ThatWPA Project
Portsmouth people want that
WPA project they have been
promised in a sort of a roundabout
way ever since last year. Theo
dore Salter, prominent citizen of
the community was on the main
land this week and stated that he
and his neighbors had been ex
pecting Philip Ball, WPA supervi
sor for Carteret and other WPA
officials to visit the community fo
the past several months (according
to their promises) but so far they
had not shown up.
Irvin W. Davis who is chairman
of the Democratic Execjtive Com
mittee and who has a keen eye fo."
party votes knows that Portsmouth
usually sends in 18 Democrati.'
votes at each election. He ha
been informed that these 18 votes
may not be so Democratic this year
unless all this talking about a
Portsmouth WPA project is stopp
ed, and something actually done.

we arrived at 10:30 in the morning
and everything seemed to be ex
ceptionally well kept. The cots in
the cages were in order. The ce
ment floor was clean, and there
was no odor from the plumbing.
THE DINING hall was clean,
and the storeroom revealed plenty
of substantial food for the prison
ers. The prisoners get biscuits
for breakfast and corn bread for
dinner and supper. They have a
variety of foods. The camp op
eiates its own laundry, and there
are plenty of shower baths for the
prisoners who want to take baths.
Most of the prisoners bath regu
larly it is their privilege. Should
some unkept prisoner decide not
to bathe, the guards require him
to do that. The shower bath room
has both hot and cold running wa

of Sea Level, and has been super
intendent of the camp at Newport
since it was established, seems to
be well liked by the prisoners. He
has a good record with the State
Prison authorities for supervising
camps, lie shuuul not be criti
cized if the Grand Jury want to
make something about the sleep
ing quarters of the men. The State
is responsible for that. In most
prison camps similar to No. 202
the State has eliminated the cage'
and constructed cell blocks. It is
understood that the State plans t
build a cell block at No. 202, and
an aiea of the enclosure has been
left vacant for that purpose. Per
haps the Grand Jury's comment

this connection. Prison Camp 202
has accomodations for 105 prison
ers. At present there ate 85
there.
I DO NOT believe in being in

see any reason why they should be
given all the comforts of home,
just because they are wards of the

It was reported that the WPA
Commodity Room in Beaufort was
inadequate to handle and dispose
of commodities or for the waiting
public to be served. It was recc
mended that a shed roof be con
structed for patrons of WPA Com
modity Room to stand under.
The investigating committee re
ported that State Prison Comp No.
202 at Newport was found in bad
shape in some ways. The commit
tee reported that as many as 15
men were sleeping in one room
(cage cells) size 6 feet by 20 feet
with one toilet built in the moddle.
It was recomended that the toilet
be aken out of the sleeping quar
ters and placed in separate room
land that conveniences for bathing
be added.
The accounts of guardians, ad
ministrators and execufors in the
Clerk of Court's office were found
in proper shape and the work of
John Johnson, caretaker of Court
house Green and buildings was
found satisfactory.

of the wooden room. In the pris
on camp cages there are no bed

in such open quarters as these
cages. The blankets and mat

and no prisoner who might be cov
ered with vermin is allowed to en
ter a prison camp unless he is thor
oughly washed.
THE REASON I know so much
about Prison Camp No. 202 is be
cause Abbott Salter, superintend
ent, invited Irvin Davis, James
Potter and myself to inspect the
camp. Dr. Moore was also invited
but he could not go along due to
regent business at the hospital.
Cne thing that had always im
res8ed me about the prison camo
i driving by, was the general
cleanliness or outward appearance.
he interior of the camp is just as
r !ean, or that is the way we found
ft. A crew of A-grade prisoners
tre kept at this camp to clean up
ma ao general work while the oth-
means tney have served in prison
camps before. If prison campi
were the Hell-holes that some
might assume they were, perhaps
the repeaters would stay within tht
law once they gain their freedom.
Incidentally if a case record was
studied of each prisoner at the
cam, about 75 per cent would re
veal that at the beginsing, liquor
played the role which got them in
trouble. Surprising part about
the report of the Grand Jury was
the fact that the committee mak
ing the investigation last week ate
dinner at the camp, apparently en
joyed it, and made no unfavorable
comments while actually ther
about the setup of things.

refinement on the 1941 Ford cars.
When the hood is closed, it locks

A charter for the route will be

The Transportation Company now
