The hanger has space for from 15 to 20 planes, concrete floor, con trol tower, and contains six excellent offices. There is no entrance yet from the New Bern road, but work has begun north of Earl Taylor's farm on what is to be the only road into the port. This road should be in condition to be used in another two weeks if the rains hold off. According to Major Frank Daw son, Commanding Officer of the Base, all progress is satisfactory considering the too abundant rain followed by too abundant mud. Lt. E. G. Long, Jr., USA Engi neers, moved in with the begin ning of the job and will stay by the project until it is finished and lights are installed. The big dredge "Henry Bacon" is pumping sand through the 24 inch pipe line at a great rate, sand for one runway has been gathered, but it will probably be another two months before dredg ing is completed, and it wiil be February first before the Airport is complete. In another month, Major Daw son will have been here for a year. He has been much interested in the Airport, has pushed it for us, and we listen with interest to him. Dance Tonight, July 29th, from 8:30 to 11:00, tha Boy Scoutt are tpon toring a dance at the Recreation Center, Broad and Pollick Streett. Everyone civiliant and Service Men invited to attend. Admit tion 25 cents. Dr. Baxter Back He says that it will be a port to be proud of. Now, even before it is scarcely begun, a third 4000 by 150 foot runway has been authonz ed in addition to those originally called for, and already, before it is completed, he is anticipating the next step necessary for the suc cessful operation of it. Major Dawson wants to sec our civic organizations of Beaufort and Morehead City begin some cooperative effort now to insure continuance and maximum use fulness of the Port after the War. He has visions of it as a link in important air routes in the coun try. As the nearest point to Ber muda, he feels we are justified in looking forward to seeing it on the route of one of the big air lines. , Major Dawson's thoughts turn to the Pennsylvania Air Lines, franchise of which already permit planes to come into Rocky Mount enroute from Norfolk to Knox ville. He pictures it as easy to shut tie from there here for a direct trip to Bermuda and across the Atlan tic. Pennsylvania Air Lines also connect with Washington and New York for both passenger and express service. The Major feels it is not too early now to put in an application with this company for this service and even draw up a lease calling for a monthly rent al and upkeep for the Port with such provisions for landing private and commercial planes as seem suitable. The Airport is a County a'rport built under CAA, leased by the CAP's and the Armed Forces for the duration plus six months, but may be turned back to us at any time. It represents considerable investment on the part of the com munity, and the Major wants us to be ready to capitalize on it when the time conies. Dr. J. O. Baxter returns to his practice here with an honorable dis charge from the Army "in the besi' interest of national health and safety." Dr. Baxter reports a splendid experience in the Army that "he wouldn't take anything for," When discharged he was sta tioned at Ashburn General Hospit al, McKinney, Texas. He is re-opening his office in Beaufort immed iately. William Moyle, who has occu pied Dr. Baxters little hou?o on the south side of West Front Street while he was away, is mak ing arrangements' to get located elsewhere as soon as possible. Un til that time, Dr. Baxter says he will be with the Dave Merrill's on Ann Street where his brother, Lt. Bennie Baxter, stays. Annual Report County Library Mrs. Rosalie Rives Dowdy, Li brarian, Carteret County Lbrary, has furnished us with a copy of her annual report to the U. S. Of fice of Education, for the Central Library at Beaufort and the Book mobile with its 39 stops. The Library has a total of 6, 484 volumes available to the 18, 284 residents of the County.

Waste Fats At the meeting of the Service Corps on the 19th, Mrs. J. G. Al len was appointed to look into the matter of collection of waste fats.
