North Carolina's "Old Mullet Line" Would Profit Greatly IF BASE GOES TO CHERRY POINT AREA Beaufort, Morehead City and all of Carteret County are vitally interested in the decision of the United States Government in the selection of a site for the Airwing of the U. S. ilarines, despite the fact that there has been no news stories to the effect that delegations would go to Washington in efforts to bring the base to .Cherry Point on the South side of Neuse River instead of at Wilkerson's Point. The gen eral opinion on the Carteret Coast is that it is a matter which everyone believes will be taken care of for the best interests of America's defense by the U. S. Navy personnel which will make the final decision. The Navy Personnel, should the Cherry Point site be selected, will be enthusiastically received by this community. Should the Cherry Point site be selected, the brightest future in its history, is promised the Atlantic and East Carolina See AIR WING SITE, Pge. 2 COOLING UNIT FOR POTATOES IS USED HERE B. & M. R.

Fishing And All Outdoors By AYCOCK BROWN FOR THE FIRST time to my knowledge I publicized (and very unintentionally) a fish story that turned out to be a "fish story." My conscience is clear however, be cause I picked up the story second or third handed and checked the nearest sources possible to deter mine fact. All facts I could gath er locally were to the effect that the 126 1-2 pound tuna, was landed with rod and reel (channel bass tackle) by a party of fishermen from Beaufort and Mt. Olive while fishing the surf at Drum Inlet for drum. The picture which the newspapers up state used showed the fishermen and the big fish. FIRST, CHARLES J. Parker of the State News Bureau wanted a copy of the picture with more facts about the catch. At the time most of my days were keeping me at Camp Davis and I could not check conveniently with the guide at At lantic who was with the party in the photograph. A few days ago Dr. H. H. Brimley of the State Mu seum on his way to Ocracoke for the June "full-moon fishing" stopped by to get more data from me about the Tuna. I referred him to the guide in Atlantic. SHORTLY CAME this letter, de bunking the whole story.

C. Route 101 near Beaufort. The berries are being shipped daily by rap id railway express to the markets of the north where a one pint basket retails any where from 40 to 60 cents each. The berry picking and the local farm is under the supervision of Earl Taylor. In upper left hand photo he is shown with the Budds at their large Blueberry and cranberry bogs in New Jersey. In upper right, he is shown kneeling beside a bush on the local farm. Many thousands of bushes similar to this on the local f arm were laden with berries this year and numbers of persons were given employment picking the n in the field. On Taylor's farm across the road from the blueberry acreage, a packing shed where operations are under thes upervision of Mrs. Taylor is in operation. The local packing shed is similar to, but not quite as large as the shed in lower picture, located on the New Jersey farm of the Budds. Washington, D. C. GASLESS SUNDAYS It begins to look as If gasless Sun days might not be so necessary aft er all if certain bare-knuckle re forms in the oil industry are put through by new National Oil Ad ministrator Ickes. For instance, the tanker system. When an oil tanker comes from the Gulf of Mexico up the East coast, it may stop at Charleston to discharge part of its oil, then at Norfolk, then at Baltimore. It dis charges a certain amount at each port where its company distributes or refines oil. Simultaneously, a tanker belong ing to another company will stop off at exactly the same ports. Thus the tankers of three or even four dif ferent companies may be feeding the same cities at the same time. If, on the other hand, one com pany served one section of the coun try, or if one tanker delivered oil to all the companies in each port Instead of only to its own, distribu tion would be measurably speeded. Also, the : are four different types of high octane gasoline being re fined In the United States. All these varieties are not particularly neces sary, one type being sufficient dur ing the emergency. Concentration on only one type of high octane gas aim would considerably increase gasoline output and distribution. There is .plenty of oiKJu vtha See Merry-go-Round, Pge 3 COURT ORDERS DIVISION FOR FILL PROPERTY A court order signed by Judge Leo Carr, of Burlington, in Superi or Court here this week designated Frank D.

BISHOP CLAIRE PURCELL WILL PREACHSUNDAY Sermon Marks End Of Anniversary Services MISS MUSE'S BOOK HAS GIVEN CHURCH HISTORY When Bishop Clare Pur sell preaches at Ann Street Methodist Church Sunday, June 22, in addition to cele brating the 163rd anniversa ry of the church, it will mark the 6th sermon ever preach ed here by a Bishop of the Methodist Church. Bishop Asbury, one of the first two Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Ameri ca was responsible for two or 40 per cent of tha sermons by Bishops previously deliv ered in Beaufort Bishop Asbury stopped by in 1785 on one of his sixty-seven vis its to North Carolina. In his diary on Wednesday, December 21st, of that year he wrote : "Sailed down to Beaufort and preached in the Church. The people are kind but have very little religion. On the See BISHOP PURCELL, Pg. 8 RCI ALLY FOR f C m Portrait of a Man Pecking at a Portable The N. J. government's dispos sessing of the German-American Bund (from the state) sent the blood racing through my veins . . . What a victory for all of us who hae been taking their insolence all these years! . . . Why the N. Y. press doesn't campaign for similar action I wish I knew . . . I'd enjoy print ing his cap and car numbers if I didn't think his employers would scold him for being human . . . Any way, he stopped his Broadway trol ley the r.Uier afternoon to unload some passengers and saw a blind man on the other corner ... He left his trolley and escorted the blind one by the wing to the other side of the congested street . . . Then he dang-danged his bell and went on. For the life of me I cannot figure out why "Amapola" is so popular. It has the corniest tune of them all . . . And when "Intermeizo" is played a la Beguine I feel like yell ing: "Stop!!!" . . . Why do they always try to improve on master pieces, anyhow? . . . The Com modity Research Bureau's 1941 Year Book shows that the President's Emergency Proclamation means in creasingly strict rationing of vital war materials.

FARMERS, Page 8 Sypllh nil ftwffsi j A Special Edition As History Is Made The Beaufort News is now completing plans for a Carolina Coast Defense Edition to be published within two weeks from this date. The edition will come at a time when history is being made along the North Carolina coast. Stories of existing de fense proj'ects, and projects planned, all of which are helping close the "open doorway for enemy in vasion from the East" which this newspaper called the North Carolina coast many months before any actual defense measures were taken, will be in cluded in the edition. During the past six years The Beaufort News has through its editorials and news stories referred to the need for coastal de fense, air raid shelters and many other things which have or are coming to pass today. The Special Edition, we hope, will be worthy of becom ing of historical significance. We will endeavor to make it an edition that you will not only read, but one you will file away for future reference. The tentative date for the publishing of the edition is early July. If your firm has played a role in the defense program, or if your firm would like to be included as an advertiser favoring the present de fense program and occupy certain space in Caroli na Coast Defense Edition, we urge you to contact The Beaufort News at once. A. B. SEASIDE SUMMER SCHOOL By CHARLES J. PARKER, Director f- News Bureau, N. C. Dept. Conservation & Development Released to All Newspapers Editor's Note: Charley Parker, director of the News Bu reau of the Department of Conservation and Development spent several days in Beaufort recently shooting black and white and color pictures of the schools of art, modern dance and marine biology in this old port town. He covered the "Summer Schools Story" with Mrs. Virginia Lathrop, pub licity director, Womans College, U. N. C, and Aycock Brown, editor The Beaufort News. One of the first stories released through the News Bureau, as written by Parker for millions of readers in America, follows: Marine Summer School Opens Beaufort, N. C. Pack up your bathing suit and set out for school. , Strange way to go to school? Not the way the girls of the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina and the boys of Duke University do it. They're down here now amassing college credits along with their vacation the girls in art and dance classes and the boys in marine biological laboratory. In this new style school, the doz en students ot modern dance un der Miss Jean Brownlee limber up and practice routine in Beaufort's picturesque Community Center and scamper over to Atlantic Beach for workouts on the dunes against a backdrop of blue sky and fleecy clouds.

If you cover one story thoroughly, more so than another, perhaps be cause of human interest angles, you are criticized for being so thorough or vise versa. If you write something that is distinctly a good news story which puts one ...... party in a favorable light, usually hr ; th. mpr nnrtv who wniri have fared better if you had not! written the storv at all. And if you had not written the story, you would be criticized for not doing so. IF YOU WRITE a story about a person working for an organiza tion which has "something for sale" and fail to mention the n.me of the firm, regardless of whether they are advertisers in your news paper or not, you can usually ex pect a blowing out for being incom- petent. If you do mention the name of a competitive firm which does not advertise in your paper, in your story, the firm that does advertise will call your attention to it and wonder why his organization never gets in on the "free publici ty". If you write a story which you are positive is for the civic bet terment of your community, you See WATERFRONT, Page 8 work on old boats, fish nets, fish ermen, sand dunes and the myriad subjects of the beach country. Working with Prof. A. S. Pearce the biology class from Duke is es tablished near the United States Biological Laboratory on Piver'a Island, famed for its work in re stocking the southern coast with diamond back terrapins. Beaufort is becoming known as. the "Seaside Summer School Town", and the idea is growing like wildfire, throughout the nation. Tomatoes Begin To Move Here While Spuds At Peak Several Packing And Grading Sheds Busy Carteret's valuable toma to crop was being picked this week and although prices at the beginning were not as high as in past years, grow ers and packers have hopes that there will be an increase as the peak of thj season is reached. Already a few of rtf -v 1" 1 s c. n n ! mc uunuicua ul . packers have gone to work. Many of those engaged in , preparing tne ariareu tuma- to harvest for market come here from Florida and other tomato centers. Beaufort Auction Market, under the supervision of Murray Thomas began operations this week. Far mers selling their tomatoes thru this market will likely at most times find competition between buyers keen, thus giving them a better chance to receive higher prices. A few packages of toma toes passing through the Auction. Market on Wednesday sold for as high as 85 cents. Ray Esposito of M. Trombetta Sons, whose packing house is located on the B. & M. R.
