ERRATA Beaufort News Back To Normal We came out late last week and did not get the NEWS in the Thurs day evening mail, then through an error at the office, it did not get into the early mail on Friday. Sat urday morning was a bit late for news that was written to be read on Thursday. We are sorry. We are bak to normal now. We are not much on explaining, but we feel our readers are due a word about the delay. Four weeks ago ,we lent our linotype operator to the Daily Times, of Morehead City, to help out in a life and death emergency a paper lives or dies on many counts, but death comes very sud denly with no printer. W. L. Hat sell, executive of the NEWS, car: operate a linotype machine as well as the next one. He has endless demands made on his time, but he agreed to substitute for our opera tor. For a week we felt we could afford to drop to an eight page paper if by so doing we might help our neighbor. The emergency stretched to another week, and we got out another eight page paper; the emergency stretched another week, we did not feel justified in asking continued indulgence of our readers so we got out our ten page paper, but with considerable difficulty; last week, still short our operator, we got out another ten, but with work backed up on us, it was even more difficult and with everybody working to capac ity, we were late. We are back to normal now, so unless something unforseen hap pens like an "Act of God," the NEWS will be in your Post Office Box Thursday evening or will be delivered in the first mail Friday. People of Smyrna will have their big Bond Rally and Dance this coming Sat urday night, April 24, at 8 o'clock, in the High School Gym.

Two thousand dollar bonds were purchased. One brought the purchaser a breakfast set; the other, stationary. Mrs. Lois Smith did the auctioneering, assisted by guest service men and most anything you might mention came under her hammer; a chick en, a rug, lard, sugar, china, just anything a housekeeper would like in this restricted world. The Coast Artillery Band from Ft. Macon was largely responsible for making it one of the most gala evenings on record. Beaufort guests report that they left at 11:45 and the band and the danc ers were still going strong. In ap preciation of the fine spirit of members of the band, the ladies presented them with a big beauti fully iced home-made cake. The school gym, patriotically decorated in red, white and blue, made the ideal setting for the par ty and was the only place that could possibly have taken care of the throngs of civilians and serv ice men present. At a booth which the soldiers had themselves deco rated in Easter mood, refresh ments were served to all service men; at another drinks were sold for the benefit of the proposed Service Men's Club. The grand march early in the eveninz was led by Ralph Pittman of Stacy and Miss Salter of Sea Level. The cake walk also induct ed in the entertainment wa3 won by Miss Ruth Lewis of Harkers Is land.
