Whether the advice kept anyone from going to other towns to trade, we do not know. But there were comments made both pro and con about the suggestion. Word came from a New Bern newspaperman wanting to know what we would think if, during the summer sea sons, the people of the Crav en city were advised to shop at New Bern, even though they were planning to and actually spent cost of their time at Carteret "resorts. From a reader of The Beaufort News who lives in the County came further comments. This farmer rais es among other things, a number of hogs. He kills his hogs and brings them tu town, trying to sell the dress ed product to local mer- rViiints or from house to i the School Board house. He gets little pat-led through a special ar ronage. The merchants sel-1 rangement between llv local dom buv from farmers, he j board and the county board, said, but yet the merchant The job is still unfinished, expects the farmer to buy Visual education for the stu from him. We think that dents at Beaufort School will where the hitch comes in is; soon be made available and that the hogs sold by farm-almost simultaneously, if present plans carry, otnei modern features will be in stalled. Credit and much credit is due Principal Leary and his school board. are air-minded or not, you should make every efort to help develop aviation facili ties for your county and your state. Beaufort School Making Progress Real progress has been made by Beaufort Consoli dated School under the lead ership of Principal Tom Lea ry and the present Board of Trustees which is headed by Raymond Ball as chairman. When Principal Leary first assumed charge of the school last year, it was in quite a run-down condition, and on the verge of being removed from the State's Accredited List. The required curricu lum had been weakened, tha sanitary condition of the school was not up to stan dard, there was no science equipment. It was not an overnight job to bring the in stitution up to standard, but the new principal began his task and has attained splen did results. Beaufort School today is solidly on the accred ited list, existing sanitary fa cilities, such as the wash rooms have been improved and due to the close co-operation between the local Board of Trustees and the Countv Board of Education, headed by Dr. Moore and supervised by J. G. Allen, new and modern sanitary ia cilities have been addd. The school band was noth ing to speak of in the old days, due to the lack of train ing on the part of members, is being improved daily un der an instructor who is tak ing a genuine interest in the work. In addition to the ex perienced band members many students are taking band music. Several hun dred dollars have been ex pended for science equip ment, another progressive movement initiated by Prin cipal Leary. sanctioned by md ohtam- (letters) NEW ANGLE ON OYSTER PLANS ers direct to merchants are not U. S. Inspected. It is a safe bet that many of the hogs which come as dressed meat to your table, original ly came from Carteret, but were sold first in New Bern and then shipped to Rich mond for dressing and in spection before returning to Carteret merchants. The only remedy as we see it is to make an effort to have a U. S. Inspection Service for lo cal killed meats, established in Carteret County. We be lieve that the farmers should be patronized by the mer chants and visa versa. Now Is Time For State To Expand Aviation North Carolina has an aviation-minded leader in Gov ernor J. Mellville Broughton. He is deeply interested in the development of aviation and who knows, perhaps before his four vears in office is complete, he will see landing field facilities in each of the hundred counties of North Carolina. This State took the lead in the development of a State-wide road pro gram. Will it also take the lead in a State-wide chain ot airports linking every coun tv bv creating airplane land ing facilities? A good start at any rate is to have an air minded governor and Mr. Broughton is air-mind. ;d. Recently he told The Beaufort News editor that "undoubtedly this is the golden opportunity for the expansion of aviation in North Carolina. Those coun ties and sections which do not awaken to this opportu nity will be left behind. Thev will be in the position of those communities of ear lier days who failed to sense the value of railroads as community - building agen cies, and those who missed the significance of highway locations in the same way." The Beaufort News be lieves that right now is the time for counties of the State to become sold on the devel opment of landing field fa cilities. We believe that a State created agency should be established immediately to coonehate with the coun ties. The counties could perhaps furnish lands for runways the State, as a starter could perhaps divert a few highway crews and equipment to airport main tenance, and the movement would gain the favor of the Federal Government mak ing it easy perhaps to get fi nancial aid. Regardless of whether you as an individual Help Woman's Club Pay Library Debt. February 4th and 5th have been designated as debt li quidating Library Day in Beaufort and Carteret Coun ty. On this day, represen tatives of the Beaufort Wo man's Club who worked hard to provide Beaufort and Car teret County with a public li brary will make a house-to-house canvas for cash dona tions to pay off the balance of the indebtedness now due on the materials used in cre ating a library and recrea tion building out of an old railroad station. When you are approached by the ladies conducting the drive for funds, be sure to contribute towards this worthy cause. I Not only has a modern li brary been established by the ladies of the Woman's Club but also a recreation unit and plav ground has also been provided. Remember help the ladies and give generously when they visit you for a donation on Febru ary 5th and 6th. Story Of "Dulcy" Opens Sunday At Sea Breeze Theatre Stepping from her "Miiizii!' characterizations once more, Ann Sothcrn adds another stel'.a por trayal to the list of fast and furi ous comedy roles which, in the space of a single year, has made her one of Hollywood's most im portant stars. This time it is "Dulcy," the story of a wealthy girl whose heart of gold is where her brain ought to be. Because Dulcy, whose perchant is to straighten out troubles of others, cannot help blundering nit-witted-ly into situations which prove hot water, not only for herself, but for those she tries to aid. "Dulcy" the screen portrayal of this story, opens at The Sea Breeze Theatre on Sunday for a three-day run. Ian Hunter one of the screen's most versatile actors who has trav eled through many roles in many famous pictures, plays opposite the star. Roland Young, the screen's fa mous English actor, Billy Burke, famous for her bewildered, scat terbrained society roles, Lynne Carver, Dan Dailey, Jr., and Guion "Big Boy" Williams are also im portantly cast in "Dulcy." It is a comedy drama which will please patrons of The Sea Breeze during the first three days of the coming week starting Sunday. Editor of The News: I want to thank you very much for the copy of The Beaufort News you sent me, and especially do I want to express to you my appre ciation for your article on the pro posed Oyster Farms as a means of beginning to help the deplorable condition of the Oyster Industry ir. North Carolina. We have a long way to go, but with the beginning we have made, I think ws have made a very satisfactory start. Another angle that in my opin ion is a very serious detriment to long range development program is our present lease law of oyster producting bottoms with a limita tion of fifty acres inshore and two hundred acres ocshore. Two coun ties, Hyde and Pamlico, which have some of the finest producing land.; are al public grounds and are not even subject to the fifty acre lease Also these counties have the finest seed oyster beds to be found in any locailty and which should be clov ed to all public use, except for seed purposes. I very much hope that the pres ent law can be repealed an.) that it will be left to the discretion of the board as to acreage limit'Uion. It is is not our purpose or i-itent to promote large operations at the expense of the small operators, but with approxiamtely one million ac res available there seems to be am ple room for both, I am bringing these matters be fore your attention as I feel no greater public service could be re.t dered the Oyster Industry than thru the press, and to bring thes.' existing conditions to the public with a hope of making "No;th Car olina Oyster Conscious." Within a short time I hope to have a meeting of the Commercial Fisheries Committee of the Board of Conservation and Development and the House and Senate Com mittee and other interested individ uals, and I hope that you can at tend this meeting. I will advise you of the date. With kindest personal regards, I am, Yours very truly, W. R. Hampton, Chairman. Fisheries Committee Dept. Con. and Develop. Plymouth, N. C. SPORT LUES By J. W.

First Showing Of "High Sierra" At Beaufort Theatre "Seldom is it the privilege of a North Carolina theatre to have the first run on such an outstanding picture as 'High Sierra' which we will present at The Beaufort Thea tre on Sunday and Monday of next week", said Manager Perry Reaves today. "We are forced to ''un this picture only two days," he added, "and I urge all patrons to try and arrange to see it in the time r.lloted for our theatre. The screen story is by the author of "Little Ceasar" and it is said to be an even better story. Th" cast includes Humphrey Bogart. and Ida Lupine, both outstanding stars for the parts they will por tray. Added attractions to com plete the program on Sunday and Monday will be latest news and car toons. The story of airplanes and pi lots will be presented in "Charter Pilots" on Tuesday, a thrilling pic ture along with a Bing Crosby mu sical, short subjects, a novelty and a cartoon. On Wednesday the Jackpot increases to $40 and the picture "Dispatch from Reuters" features Edwin G. Robinson. It is a story of the famous English news agency, similar to America's As sociated Press and United Press. On Thursday and Friday glam orous Dorothy Lamour, who many have acclaimed "queen of the screen" is presented in the lead ing role of "Moon Over Burma." On the same program will be the newest issue of March of Time, plus latest news events and a color cartoon. Beaufort County farmers are starting their annual brood of chicks, with many making needed improvements on their facilities, says Assistant Farm Agent W, G. Andrews. Atlantic boys defeated More head in a close game 14-13 last Friday night. Most of the games that the Atlantic boys have played this year have been by close mai gins. The Atlantic girls lost to the Morehead sextet IS to 8. Atlantic was scheduled to play Smyrna on this past Tuesday night at Smyrna but called the ;amc off due to sickness of players. Newport girls last Friday night gave Smyrna girls their worst de feat since basketball was started in the county. One of Smyrna's players was out. However, foul ing out by some of Smyrna's play ers played the greatest part in the score. With four minutes to play the score was Newport 12 Smyrna 17. A Smyrna girl fouled out and Coach Richards of Newport sent in his second and third string play ers. It was discovered that Smyr na had no substitute players for the one fouled out so Coach "iichard withdrew one of his players and the final four minutes of the game was played with Newport bavins two forwards and Smyrna two guards. Final score was Newport GLEANINGS A Banker Tells This One. -!(', Smyrna 2." Th e game be. tween the two boys teams was a nip and tuck affair. Scovj at, half time was Newport 10, Smvrna Final score was Newport 22. Smyr na IS. Newport played host to Ilea i fort on Tuesday night and divide. i the double bill. Newport girl won 21) to 10. Beaufort boys took an early lead over Newport boys and kept it till the end with final score Beaufort 3i, Newport 20. Beaufort had all of lis play ers back in line up and from now on expects to show championship playing. On Tuesday night. Morehead played host to Harkers Island. The girls from Morehead City had littl" opposition from Harkers Island the final score being (5 to 3. The Harkers Island boys showed that even ho this was their first year playing all teams had better put their best front on. It was only in the closing minutes of play that Morehead was in front the final score being Morehead 2-1, Harkers Island 20. Many thought this would be an overtime game but two field goals in the last two min utes of play settled the issue. Does it pay to make a farm in ventoiv each year? Weli, here's a partial answer. Some years ago a banker friend was telling of an experience he had. At the beginning of the year he had made a loan to a your? farmer who was starting out just about from scratch. At .he end of the year the young man came in showing verv plainly that he was badly discouraged. Because ot drouth he had not made the crops he expected to make, and he could make only a partial payment on the note. It. would soon be time to make arrangements for next year and he felt he was worse of now than when he started. Frank ly, the young man was rcidy to give up. "Wait just a minute," said th" hanker as he reached for the rec ord that was made out and filed when the loan was made. "How many cows do you have now? How many calves'.'" On completing the check-up they fund the young man had more livestock than he had when the loan wasmade.morccorn in the cri'o. more hay in the loft, ami lio siilj had tile mule and im plemen'.s hi' had bought with pari obtained through had been building Mmu. v m m m mm mm n w i w nui W l!, lit'l lli1"" An hi !l!s he h. money an. lie capital. "Why. young man, you are a 'netter credit lisk now than you were ayear ago," announced the hanker. "Your net worth is great er. The increase i:i value of live stock, feed, and equipment far ex ceeds the unpaid balance of your note." A very much relieved young man left the office of the banker, all because of a few minutes' work with a lead pencil. Why not try this plan around New Year's? Nothing will pay better the next rainy day The Progressive Farmer. Tomorrow night Beaufort will play Smyrna at Beaufort. The play in the boys game will show to a great extent who will be the real championship contenders for this vear.
