Notes On Collecting
Garbage And Trash
This newspaper has had
several calls from people urg
ing us to write something a
bout the garbage situation m
Beaufort. Fart of the com
plaints have to do with peo
ple who have no metal con
tainers and place their trasn
and garbage at the curbing,
and the remainder of com
plaints come from persons
who claim their garbage is
taken up only at very irregu
lar intervals, and not daily.
If garbage and trash is not
placed in metal containers,
a March wind will soon blow
it all over the lot of the per
son who placed it there or a
neighbor's lot. We think
there is a Town Law which
requires that garbage be
placed in metal containers, a
law which is broken by many
citizens. We think the Town
could and should make some
arrangement for health and
clecencv sake to collect the
garbage at least once daily
even if it is necessary to buy
another truck and spend ad
ditional money to do it.
Those are our opinions and
many citizens share the same
"with us.

Thanks for the paper. It si'im
like making a visit in "God's coun
tiy", to get a copy of the Beau
fort .News, because Keaufon is, in
my opinion. "God's Country."
I would surely like to be in
Beaufort today. 1 have never
bein any pkue that could compart
with Carteret County.
This j"b of Mess Seigeanl agrees
with me; 1 have gained 'ilxuit 4.)
pounds since joining the Army.
I am enclosing a snapsho', so you
can see that 1 am Raining weight.
Show it to "Ace" Williams, and
tell him that if he would join the
Army, he too, could put on some
weight. Especially if he were to
get in my outfit. I saw "Ground
Puppy's" poem.
Well. I must close for this time,
be good and thanks again for the
paper.

Select Business Men
To Run Your Town
Soon there will be a mu
nicipal Election. At this time
citizens of Beaufort will have
an opportunity to vote for a
Mayor and a Board of Com
missioners and also a Chief
of Police. So far no one has
made any announcements
that thev would be a candi
date. Cndidates should be
gin filing for office at an ear
ly date. It is the duty of
citizens to choose men who
have exceptional business
and executive ability to run
the affair- of Beaufort. Just
anyone cannot solve or even
understand such problems
that are presented by the re
financing plans for town
bonds. Just anyone cannot
understand and talk intelli
gently to a Bondholders Com
mittee. Just any person se
lected as Chief of Police can
not step right in and also
serve as a sanitary engineer.
Therefore citizens should
give intelligent thought for
whom they will cast a ballot,
and they should cast ballots
for intelligent business men
who are on the ticket. If no
such men in your opinion an
nounce for office, then see to
it that intelligent business
men seek the offices which
will be vacant and help them
get elected.

Navy Is Great Says
Paul Beacham
MRS. ELLA N. WILLIS
To the Editor:
I read your letter in The Beau
fort News from the boys in the
Army. If they think the rmy is
great they should try the Navy
once. True, we get seasick, boat
sick, lonesome and maybe a little
lazy but we don't stay in one place.
I have been in the Navy only a lit
tle more than four montns and
have been to Portugal, Cuba, Por
to Rico and back to New York
and I am well pleased.
Don't think I am trying to )un
the Army clown, but I do think the
Navy is a little more exciting.
Most of the men here are South
erners and about 50 or 75 are from
North Carolina. There are three
lrom New Bern so I do not get
lonesome.
Tel! the young fellows they cen
do the same as I. True they will
have some dirty work at times but
if they could see the sun tan I have
they wouldn't think I work at all,
besides I have gained 20 pounds
eating the good Navy good they
give us.

The Liquor Situation
What shall be done about the
liquor situation in North Carolina?
That's a question which conns
up during every session of the
General Assembly and which prob
ably will come up during many fu
ture sessions.
According to our way of think
ing, the so-called "control sys
tem" is the best way to handle the
situation. At the same time, we
ate aware of the fact that many
people do not think the .-a me
about this as we do.
Every man is entitled to his own
opinion.
We all claim to be staunch ad
vocates of a democratic form of
sovernment. A democracy must
always recognize the rights of the
minority. Advocates of a liquor
referendum assert that if the Leg
islature refuses to submit the ques
tion of a referendum to the people
it will be acting contrary to the
principles of democracy. We don't
see it that way.
We'll admit that a majority of
counties in the state do net want
iiouor stores. O. K. it is their
privilege to keen them out. It is
their privilege to adopt f.ny kind
of legislative program in this con
nection that they might deem ad
visable. But why interfere witi
other counties that have a diffei
ent view about the matter"
This isn't a political issue: It's a
moral issue. With respect to a
great many matters, it is necessary
to have unanimity of suite-wide
action. With others it is not. In
asmuch as our nation as a whole
has decided to let each state settle
the liquor problem for itself, we
believe that the states should give
the same privilege to ther various
counties.
When we make the statement
that those counties which now have
A. B. C. stores should be allowed to
retain them, we also take cogni
ance of another phase of the situa
tion. We believe that the so-called
"drv" counties should lie given
equally fair consideration. If they
want to pass laws prohibiting the
sale er the transportation of liquor
within their boundaries, then they
should be allowed to do so without
any outside interference.
If it's a good rule one way. it's a
good rule the other way. Let each
individual county make its own de
cision in the matter and then pro
ceed to enforce its laws without
trying to interfere with what it
neighboring counties wish to do.
The State.
