Vl-llY 1"lW VI U"V JJ.tv ment's activities. Several other matters of bus iness were attended to, among these was the passage of a county wide milk ordinance similar to the one now in effect in More head City, Beaufort and Newport. This ordinance required the in spection of all dairies not now un der inspection, and the correct labeling of the milk fvem those da iries as Grade A. B. or C. raw or pasteurized depending on the rat ing given the Dairy by the County Health Department. The Board of Health also voted to recommend to the local govern ments of Morehead City and Beau fort that signs be posted along the waterfronts of both town stating that the water was contaminated by sewage and was unfit fev bath ing. The present sewage system which empties arge quantities of raw sewage into ninny points on the sound contaminates practica ly all of the water adjoining the limits of the towns. The many new residents of the towns are un acquainted with these facts and might expose themselves unneces sarily to the dangers of this con taminated water unless given some form of warning. Charles Gordon Watkins, concert pianist, teacher and music critic, now on tour of USO Clubs in the South, will give a piano concert at the USO Club in Morehead City, tonight at 8:30 P. M. 8:30 P.M. Mr. Watkins is appearing for USO in a voluntary capacity. His visit to the South follows a highly successful tour last autumn thru New England, during which he gave 30 concerts at USO Clubs. His extensive musical repertorie prompted Robert Ripey to write that Mr. Watkins can pay for 52 consecutive hours without repeat ing a number. Mr. Watkins has ap peared as soloist with leading sym phony orchestras and has played in concerts throughout North and South America. In his home town of Ithaca, New York, he teache3 music and is also music critic for the Ithaca Journal In Hollywood he appeared on British War Relief programs with Dame Mae Whit ty, Basil Rathbone, Margaret Web ster, C. Aubrey Smith, Una O'Con- ner and other celebrities of the English stage and screen. "From my experience in visit ing USO Clubs," Mr. Watkins said, "I have been greatly impress ed by the number of service men who turn out for concerts of so called serious music. What par ticularly impressed me is that mus ical background and training are not essential to the enjoyment of the best works of music literature." Field Meeting Fanners interested in winter legumes, that h done so much to add nitrogen to the fieds of Car teret county, should plan to attend the field meeting on the W.

Families Must Find New Homes At Once NEW RAILROAD SPUR TO BE CHANGED March Weather "What would have become of us," someone said, "had it pleased Providence to make the weather unchangeable.

It gave us all the seasons with all the moods of each from the snow of winter to the balmy sunshine of June. The temperature day by day follows: Max. .1 59 MARRIAGE LICENSES Heath F.

In the meantime something like ten families will have to find new homes. This includes! everything in West Beau fort except the Stanton's, Vandervere's and Carl Ed wards,' and the two fish factories. The area to be cleared for the use of the Airport takes in West Beaufort except the above named properties. It does not cross Route 101 to New Bern, but ex tends in a point to about 800 feet back of the County Home. The line then bears northwest to the farm road skirting the James Noe property except at one point north of Earl Taylor's house where it i3 broken for a 100 foot wide outlet to Highway 101 The recently laid railroad spur of the Beaufort-Morehead Rail road will be changed and straight ened by filing in Gallants Creek and laying the road on the made land. This will not affect the re cently constructed trestle across Town Creek. Families are naturally upset ov er having to find new homes ln. haste at an inauspicious time for acquiring property, but so far while rgretting it, all seem to ac cept it as something that has to be and to feel that acquiescence will be the easiest and most sensi ble plan. A much larger area was survey ed and mapped for consideration, but only the designated area will be used immediately The Govern ment in building runways of 4,000 feet, as will be the case here, must first be assured that suitable land is available in the event expansion to a 5,000 foot runway is needed. The contract has not yet been awarded. That matter is under consideration at the present time. Easter Sunrise Service At Methodist Church The Annual Easter Sunrise Ser vice will be held at the Ann Street Methodist church on Easter morn ing.

CABBAGE APHIDS i Cabbage are being attacked by insects now in Carteret County, ( this applies both to those cemmer-' cialy grown and in the "Necessity : Gardens." 1 The cabbage apids will attack small cabbage plants and weather , conditions have been favorable i for this insect. County Farm Agent Lassiter says that the aphid (or lice) in jury is very noticeable in that the leaves are curled, distorted, and the plants stunted. The control measure is a nicotine dust made of one ounce of 40 per cent nicotine sulphate to one pound of hydrated lime. This mixture should be ap plied to infested plants with plung er of blower type duster when tern perature is above 70 degrees F. Commercial cabbage producer? will find that from ten to twelve pounds of the nicotine dust per acre will be sufficient to control the aphids. George Eastman this week bovvrht the Dowdy Furniture Com pany of Morehead City end be gins operation on Monday.
