Har ris, of Raleteh. presiding Only about fifty people, in addition to iurors. were pres ent for the opening. In his charge to the Grand Jury, Judse Harris reminded the members of their duty as a group having "more influence and pow er than any body that can be com posed under law in the County." "Because I find some do not know what they have to do, I made up my mind some time ago to im. press members with what it means to be a member of a Grand Jury and what is expected of mem- bers." He spoke specifically of their responsibility in looking into the jail, County Home, school buses, and law enforcement helps of the Sheriff, making a personal appeal in each case. Would you be satisfied with the jail if you were innocent and held there awaiting trial because you were poor and could not give bond? Would you be satisfied with the County Home if you were old and friendless and it was your home? Is each school bus one that you would like to have your child ride on and each driver one you would like to see your child ride with? Is the Sheriff equipped as well as you would like to have him equipped if your house were broken into? He also cautioned them to look carefully into the offices in the Court House. To whom is the sink ing fund loaned? What security, etc. Regarding the mucTi talked a- bout list of tax dodgers, Judge Harris said, "The law is bigger than you or I. Persons may defy it but only for a time." Judge Harris then went into de tails regarding procedure, reports, etc., reminding them of their duty in each case and finished by en joining them to have courage to say so if things are not as they should be in any department. Members of the Grand Jury are: C. C. Guthrie, foreman; L. C. Car roll, L. N. Connor, Alex Davis, John S. Jones, W. E. Baggs, Lionel See DIVORCES Page 8 GET FORMS NOW FOR ROOM REGISTRATION Deadline For Filing Will Be November 15 Everyone renting property in Carteret County will be re quired to register each unit with complete information about each by November 15 Registration forms may now be secured either at the Bank, the City Clerk's Office or the County Clerk's Office.

Baptists To Meet In Swansboro The 59th annual session of the Atlantic Baptist Association will meet at the Swansboro Baptist Church on Thursday morning, Oct 29th at 9:30 for a one day session. Moderator M. Leslie Davis of Beau fort will preside. Current Magazine Carries Story Of Civil Air Patrol Collier's Magazine for October 24 carries a story about the C. A. P.'s that is of interest. J.D.B. un der Wing Talk says: The "Convoy Cap" may not have the speed, fire power and viciounness of the Dieppe umbrel la of fighters but the CAP, which is Civil Air Patrol, has distinguish ed itself as the protecting eyes of the coastwise and Gulf coast ship ping. 4n.d now with the coastal patrol operating daily and well or ganized in the war against subma rines off the U. S. coasts, the CAP is entering a new phase for the wings, groups and squadrons of civil airmen for inland opera tions. Any naval officer will say today that the CAP has accomplished just what it started out to do. It has relieved many of the regular service planes of both the Army and the Navy for other duties. Civilian members of the patrol have taken their small planes, which at one time might have been referred to us putt-putts, and turned them into a vital protective weapon. Their only fire power is the ,45-caliber service revolver of the. pilot. - But the ash-can depth charge that is attached to the bel ly of the small plane, in addition to the searching eyes of the two man ereW) is en0UKh to keep the enemy subs down under or away from the coastal combat zones. The men flying those coastal patrol planes, day in and day out, up and down the coast many miles out to sea, feel they are accomp lishing a real mission. Most of them are of the overage type for regular .nilitary service. But on their runs, they play tag or hide-and-seek with the preciously laden cargo ships in the cenvoy. They chat back and forth over the radio with the ships. As one group fin ishes its mission of 100 miles or more, another group of CAP planes takes over.
