pany and what is more important,

could not obtain service of process
in this State and would have to
resort to the State of domicile of
the company and you can readily
appreciate this disadvantage hav
ing to go to the expense of takinj

The company realizing this disad
vantage to the insured is often ar
bitrary in their adjustments if
they offer anything at all.
W have quite a few of these
non-licensed companies which do a
large mail order business and we
are confronted almost daily with
complaints from citizens who hav;;
fallen for this so-called cheap in

ever we can do to assist them.

Efficient Draft
Board Examiners
Carteret County's Selec
live Draft Board deserves
credit for the efficient man
ner in which they have car
ried out their duties. So far
all Carteret draftees induct-!
ed through the local office
have reached Army posts
and been accepted for serv
ice. This has not been the
case in some other sections of
the State. Somewhere we
read of a draft board send
ing 12 young men to camp,
with 11 being rejected upon
arrival. Health or physical
conditions of the inductees
was usually the cause of re
jections. Dr. Thompson who
makes the physical examina
tions of Carteret draftees is
so thorough that so far none
whom" he has examined, have
been turned down upon their
arrival at camp. From many
selective draft boards in this
state, however, it has been
a different story, judging
from news appearing in state
newspapers.
Beware Of Mail
Order Insurance
We urge our readers to be
ware of mail order insur
ance. An insurance compa
ny located in another State
which tries to sell you low
priced policies via the direct
mail method often fails to
pay off claims made on the
nnhVv. We have long been
aware of this situation, but
to get the official version
The Beaufort News' Editor
wrote Dan C. Boney, Insur
ance Commissioner for North
Carolina relative to the mat
ter. Our advice is to deter
mine definitely if the insur
ance firm vou may contem
plate taking a policy with is
registered in North Carolina.
TTsnallv the companies which
are represented by local
agents are reputable firms
and pay claims as specified
in the nolicv contract. On
the other hand there are
some insurance companies
which offer cheap insurance
which is exactly that so
cheap that they do not pay
off claims. Commissioner
Bonev's letter printed below
gives' the official viewpoint
on such companies:
Mr. Aycock Brown,
Beaufort, N. C.
Dear Mr. Brown:
I have your letter of January 30
enclosing circular letter from the
which company is not li
censed to do business in this State.
Where a resident purchases in
surance with a non-licensed insur
ance company he is placed at a
tremendous disadvantage for in
the first place he does not know
the financial condition of the corn-
work is nothing but a low
down chizeler, if he does not
accept a good paying job
made possible by the govern
ment in preference to get
ting something for nothing
from the government. A
careful check should be
made of these chizelers, and
they should be taken off the
Commodities List if they re
fuse to or make no effort to
take the jobs that are available.

After Influenza
You Should Be Careful
Physicians advise their in
fluenza patients to be very
careful during the c mvales
cing period. Many persons
fail to heed the warning, go
out too early, and often have
a relapse. This endangers
the patient to pneumonia,
another serious case ot ilu,
or even, in some cases En
cephalitis. Encephalitis is,
perhaps, the most dreaciea
form of an influenza relapse.
The average person is not fa
miliar with this very conta
gius disease which the ency
clopedia lists as a form of
sleeping sickness. To make
our readers more conscious
of this disease, now that in
fluenza has appeared in mild
epidemic form we reprint
from Winston's Cumulative
Loose-Leaf Encyclopedia the
following:
" ENCEPHALITIS LETHAR
GICA: This it an infections dii
eaie, often occuring in epidem
ics, very prone to attack young
people and leaving in it train
nervous disorder;, especially op
tic neuriti. The cause of this
disease is not definitely known,
but it is probably due to a filter,
able virus, which enters the
body through the nose or mouth.
It is apt to follow an attack of
influenza. As a rule the patient
first complains of headache,
drowsiness and vague indefinite
pains; the drowsiness may be
come severe and pass into coma.
Fever is apt to be present and
sooner or later paralysis of the
third or seventh cranial nerves
may complicate the condition.
This disease may last from two
weeks to two months. The pa
tient should be isolated and
should receive the most careful
nursing, special attention being
paid to the care of the mouth
and throat. Rest is important,
and care must be taken that bed
sores do not develop. The head
ache is often relieved by lumbar
puncture. Up to the present no
drues have been found which
have any decided effect on the
course of the disease."
The foregoing is not pub
ished with the thought in
view of creating an alarm or
hvsteria. Our only thought
is to better inform our read
ers of how important it is for
their health's sake to be care
ful after you have been a vic
tim of the influenza.

Hitler Can't Cross It?
The isolationists say that the e
is no danger to America t'rom an
invasion by Hitler.
Lindbergh has testified that Hit
ler can't cross the Atlantic and at
tack the United States.
The Atlantic Ocean is our Magi
not line that's what the Colonel
dogmatically asserts.
All of that is utterly and stupid
ly falacious.
An American army of 3,000,000
crossed the Atlantic in 191?.
And if Hitler defeats England
and takes over the British fleet,
the Atlantic will be no greater
challenge to his superior naval and
aerial strength than the English
Channel is today without that fleet
in his hands.
Hitler can cross the Atlantic
Ocean far more easily in 1941 than
America crossed it in 1917. The
Charlotte Observer.
Rei n boat builders can secure con
tracts, he says, a necessary depth
of water can be expected and wil1
be provided by the time it is need
ed for the launching of the vessel?.
Further provisions will be made.
Armed with vast millions, the
Federal government is overcoming
obstacles. Individuals are not in
a position to argue with defense
authorities on questions of defense
tactics and advantages. They can
work with the authorities and evi
dence that cooperative spirit which
finds a ready value wherever there
are tasks to be accomplished.
New Bern's airport and river fa
cilities, her nearness to the coast
and direct connection with its net
work of highways and with the
trunk highways, her railroad facili
ties and communication facilities,
should prove attractions which
have been and may continue to be
placed before authorities. There
are some indications that they will
be recognized. When they are the
Federal authorities will attend to
details. The Sun Journal.

Preparedness vs War
Rev. John Jaynes Holmes, the
pacifist, said in New York the oth
er day:
"Preparedness is a weight that
pulls us toward war and makes our
belligerency almost inevitable."
Statements of this kind hav2
helped to keep the American army
among the smallest in the world.
For years we took Dr. Holmes and
other pacifists quite seriously.
But, as all can see, unpreparedness

There are several thousand peo
pie in Carteret County who know
for sure that Gene Autry is the
most popular western star in t'ie
business. Those few who are
doubtful about this, should know
that fro '37, '38, and '39 Gene was
elected by the theatre owners of
America as the number one "mon
ey maKine ' western star, ror
1940 they not only elected him as1
the best western star, but also put
him in fourth place in the group of
"ten best money making stars of
the entire industry.
Theie is only one thing wrong
with this yearly "movie" election;
They don't ask for a vote on the
best comedian, and we're sure that
if they did, Smiley Burnette would
walk off with high honors.
