Salter Path doesn't gain many new citizens, and the old families marry largely among themselves. It's as quaint a place as you will find anywhere. Because of their isolation, older citizens at Salter Path and other communities in this area have pre served folk customs and speech characteristic of their forebearers. They sav lioke for nnrlet- mnsn. talile means to be willing, and a kiss is called a buss. A water dog is still the Shakespearean kelpie. The word hit is commonly used for it; abashed for discredited, and abraded for nauseated. Molasses is referred to Es them. And then, too, there is that oth er idiosyncrasy of speech the use of oi for the sound of i. In the vil lage of Marshallberg we were watching Mr. Gillikin building a boat. It was a beautiful craft, 46 feet long, twin-motored. Talking to another workman, we asked the question : "Does he build his boats from blueprints?" The man ans wered: "N'o, he don't use blue prints; he builds 'em by soight." At the easterly end oi the Bogue Banks is Fort Macon, which is now included in a state park and upon which considerable restoration work has been done. The fort, erected in 1828-35, and restored in 1936, commands Beaufort Inlet. An earlier fortification was built on the spot in 1740's to protect Beaufort against the Spaniards. The court is roughly pentagonal, with doors and windows opening on chambers constructed under the rampart of the inner fort. A deep moat separates the inner structure from the outer defense. Gun placements in both sections remain. Beneath the outer rampart are water-filled dungeons. The fort was in the hands of Confederate forces from the beginning of the war until it was captured April 24, 18G2, by Federal troops under the command of General Burnside. Across the inlet we come to Shackelford banks, and at the point where these banks join Core banks we find Cape Lookout light house. It is 160 feet high, distin guished by its unusual markings of alternate black and white lozenges. The tower, built in 1859, replaces one built in 1812. A fixed white light of 160,000 candlepower marks this asHhe most important headland south of Hatteras. A lightship is anchored offshore near the outlying sholas. You can get some mighty fine fishing near the cape and seldom a day passes with out boats visiting the places from Beaufort, Morehead and other points. By the way, they've made it pos sible now to get from Harkers Is land out to the cape through a new inlet that has recently been com pleted. It is known by the not-too-pretty name of Barden's Gut. What it lacks in euphony, it makes up in usefulness. We had lunch last Wednesday at Tony s Place, located on the More- head City waterfront. One of the prominent citizens of Morehead had told us about it. "If you want the very best in seafoods," he said, "go to Tony's." We tried to go, but it took us some little time to locate it. When we finally did get to it we found that it went by the name of Sanita ry Fish Market, "Why don t you put your own name in front of the place?" we asked Tony Seamon, the proprie tor. "Because," he answered, "if did that, people wouldn't ask three or four other people how to get here. All that is mighty fine ad vertising." Tony's place doesn't claim to be pretentious. As a matter of fact, he told us that his kitchen range cost him more than the- building did. But he certainly knows how to prepare seafood and we unhesi tatingly recommend him to all vis itors to Morehead. If he gets any benefit out of this free advertis ing we'll be mighty pleased, be cause ne certainly aeserves it. Carter Darrow, oi larboro, was eating there at the time we walked in. So was Representative Glenn Palmer, from 'way up in Haywood County. We spent the night at Atlantic Beach and, after supper, went over to Morehead to visit Ben Royal. Doc has" been a member of the N. C. Medical Board and he's known all over the state, not only as one of the best doctors in North Caro lina but also as the champion whit tler. You ought to see the collection of articles he has whittled out! The most intricate things imagin able chains of several wooden links, the old well at Chapel Hill, light-houses and all kinds of fan cy gadgets arid doo-dads It's his yray of relaxing himself. When he comes home from a hard day's work at the hospital and finishes his supper, he pulls out his pocket street to beginning (W. H. Bailey owner of other half said lot). This 5th day of August, A. D., 1941. J. F. DUNCAN, Commissioner of the Court. Aug. 7, 14, 21, 28; Sept 4. THE BEAUFORT NEWS BEAUFORT, COUNTY knife, grabs hold of a piece of soft pine and proceeds to start whit tling Mrs. Royal used to raise hell because he scattered shavings all over the house, but she quit that a long time ago; it didn't do any good to fuss. He's got several hundred pieces lying around. At one time they were scattered from cellar to attic, but Mrs. Royal has put up a sort of shelf-arrangement in one corner of the den and she makes him keep all his stuff in that. We left Morehead late Wednes day, afternoon. Passing by the entrance of Morehead Villa, we saw a sign which said that the work of repainting and redecorating was practially completed. The place is now open and is under the man agement of R. C. Curran. On to Newport, on the north bank of black-water Newport Riv er. A pretty agricultural village. Whitewashed oaks grow close to the pavement and shade old hous es. In late summer small boys sell large, lucious figs along the street where the railroad tracks cross it. The grave of Robert Williams, who made salt from sea water in the Revolution, is in the village, too. Morehead, Beaufort and those other places down there have al ways had a strange fascination for us, dating back to some twenty-five or thirty years ago when te old Atlantic Hotel was in its full glory under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Bell. Nowadays it's a simple matter to get over to At lantic Beach. All you have to do is to get in your car, drive across the bridge and causeway, and in just a few minutes you're there. But in the old days it was differ ent. Boats left from the Atlantic Hotel pier every fifteen minutes or so. You paid a quarter to get across. The boat carried you to the sound side of the banks and in order to get to the ocean you had to walk half a mile or more. There wasn't a single building on , the banks in those days. When you had had your fill of swimming, you walked back to the sound side again. By then it would be late afternoon and a good many of the boat captains would decide to call it a day. They didn't get any pay for hauling you back to the hotel so they'd just sneak their boats out of service and leave it up to three or four boats to take the crowd home. Sometimes you'd have to wait an hour before you could get accommodations. Those were good old days, how ever. And they're still having good days down in Carteret Coun ty land of enchanting waters; a veritable coastal paradise if there ever was one. REAL ESTATE WANTED!

THIS WEEK IN DEFENSE s s a President Roosevelt placed air plane fuels under export control, limiting shipment to points in the Western Hemisphere, the British Empire and unoccupied territor ies of countries resisting aggres sion. Secretary Hull told his press conference any move of Japan in to Thailand would be a matter of concern to the United States. Treasury Secretary Morgenthau announced the lend-lease adminis tration has ordered 10,000,000 yards of cotton grey goods to make uniforms for Chinese soldiers. AID TO RUSSIA The State Department announc ed extension of the trade agree ment between tne U.S.S.R. and the United States until August 6, 1942 to insure "continuance during the emergency period of our establish- ed commercial relations with the Soviet Union on the basis of the 1937 commercial agreement." Rus sia will pay cash or will earmark gold for all materials bought, the Department said. SILK The Office of Production Man agement "froze" all silk, supplies in the country because minimum requirements of the Army and Navy for silk powder bags and narachutes will consume total stocks. Price Administrator Hen derson said the action should not result in retail stocking price in creases for stocks on hand. OPM formed a special commodity sec tion to handle problems of obtain ing substitute materials, allocating rayon yarn and manufacturing capacity. Federal Security Administrator McNutt called for immediate reg istration by State Employment Services of the approximately 175,000 silk industry workers be ing forced out of work by the raw silk shortage. The Department of Agriculture reported more than 150 different cotton stocking de signs are available to the hosiery industry, and stated 89 percent of the 10,000 knitting machines can knit cotton as well as silk. ARMY The War Department announc ed a campaign to convert to arma ment production thousands of consumer-goods factories facing eventual shutdown because of di version of raw materials to the defense program, and said it al ready has a list of 500 such plants. The Department expanded its officer candidate schools to pro vide opportunities for one in each 100 soldiers to receive a commis sion. Advancement during the first year will be available to about 58 percent of all trainees, the Department said. It reported 100 Canadian officers and 65 jun ior officers from the Latin Amer ican Republics are now enrolled in various courses with the U. S. Army. SELECTIVE SERVICE The Senate passed legislation authorizing extension of service of Selectees, Guardsmen and Re serves from 12 months to 30 months, and of enlisted men from three to 4 1-2 years. The legis lation provides for a salary in crease of $10 a month for every month served in excess of one year. Congress also approved leg islation deferring from military service all men who had reached their 28th birthday July 1, and authorizing resignation of men al ready inducted who became 28 be fore July 1 and whose discharge is not found contrary to the best in terests of the Army. Petroleum Coordinator Ickes said he was satisfied with first re sults of the nightly blackout of East Coast gasoline stations, but asked motorists to redoubble ef forts to cut motor fuel consump tion voluntarily. He made recom mendations for operators of com mercial vehicles which he said would cut gas consumption about 30 percent, and announced the oil industry will give its patrons wind shield stickers pledging the use of one-third less gasoline than usual. He said 82 insurance companies have contributed to the "share-your-car-campaign" by revising underwriting rules to enable mo torists to carry paying passengers to and from work. Federal Security Administrator McNutt urged immediate registra tion at State employment offices of all automobile service station workers who lose their jobs as a result of the drive to cut gasoline consumption, in order that they may "be transferred as rapidly as possible to other work." POWER Consumer Administrator Har riet Elliott issued a list of sugges tions to housewives for the con servation of power for defense by cutting electric bills, and said The practice of careful consump F. R. SEELEY RESIDENTIAL CONTRACTOR BEAUFORT, N. C. tion habits now is the best prepar ation for the future." Miss Elliot! recommended economies be prac ticed particularly in parts of the country where power shortages are threatened. LABOR SUPPLY The OPM said railroad labor and management will help meet skilled labor shortages in defense industries out of the available sup ply of railroad workers, which in cludes 20,000. skilled mechanics now unemployed and 80,000 ap prentices who could be promoted to release other workers. The OPM also announced 21 Gulf Coast shipyards have put into effect zone labor standards prohibiting strikes and stabilizing wages during the next two years. Federal Security Administrator McNutt said 2, 500,000 jobs were filled by State Employment Services during the first six months of 1941, a gain of 52 percent over the same period in 1940. DEFENSE HOUSING FWA Administrator Carmody said nearly 8,000 homes for de fense workers an average of 256 houses a day were constructed during July, 16 more houses a day than in June. Mr. Carmody said 16,107 homes were completed, as of August 1, of the 90,465 ap proved for construction. Con tracts have been let for 60,835 more, he said. AGRICULTURE Assistant Price Administrator Galbraith, speaking during the annual Farm & Home Week, said "farmers . . . must be the natural leaders in the fight against in flation. If they take the leader ship then stability is assured . . . To stop this price increase ... we need the willingness to see price advances stopped and stopped firmly." He said prices today are more favorable to farmers than in years, but it took 20 years "to re build agriculture out of the wreck age left by the inflation of the last war." PRICES The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported retail food prices increas ed 1.5 percent during the last two weeks of July to a level almost 16 percent above August, 1939. The Federal Reserve Board said na tionalcome payments by last June had reached about $88 billion a year 19 percent above May, 1940 and said unless an un usually large part of consumer in come is saved or paid out in taxes, price inflation will grow. WORLD AFFAIRS Secretary of State Hull, return ing to his desk after a six-weeks absence, said "During the weeks of my absence the most clinching demonstration has been given . . . (that) there is a world movement of conquest by force, accompan ied by methods of governing thri conquered peoples that are rooted mainly in savagery and barbar ism." Secretary Hull said "with full effort and ever-increasing production and preparation for defense ... a successful resistance to the present world movement . . . will be made." 0T WILL DO .GOOpUNuear - YOU USE', JT A BETTS BREAD Since 1929 Betts Bakery Has Been Baking Good Bread !
