Mrs. Rogers is in Beaufort and will make her home with his mother, Mrs. C. S. Rogers, Sr., whilo he is away. Roy Clements, Chief Elec. Mate, USCG, was operated on in More head City Hospital Tuesday night for appendicitis. Reports today are that he is doing exceptionally well. Beach Appreciation Over Last Week-end The past sweltering week-end brought cars and cars to the Deach On Sunday the appro-tch looked as it did in the old pre-war days with trucks and cars having difficulty in finding parking places before the entrance. The only thing that bi ought home the fact that the world is different was the big group of Army trucks filling the center. Beaches were filled and quanti ties of cold drink bottles which collected again as fast as they were cleaned up showed that a hot and thirsty crowd was seeking the relief offered there. Looking back from the water in stead of the varicolored slack suits of another day, great masses of khaki appeared where soldiers and marines congregated together or groups of mingled khaki and jay colors where the men gather ed with their ladies. It's all differ ent, but it's doubtful if the beach has ever meant as much to as many different people before. Complete Service For CG Personnel And Dependents In March the U. S. Public Health Service leased the better part of the second floor of the old Duncan Building, now known as the Lipman Building, Front and Turner Streets, to establish a Dispensary offering more extensive medical and dent al service to USCG person nel and their dependents than was possible in Beaufort as a 3rd Class Relief Station. Under the latter classification, the Medi cal Officer in Charge authorize emergency treatment but every thing else had to go to Norfolk. H. Berger, M. D. Lieutenant, USN, of Staten Island, New York, came down to organize the work and outfit the offices. These have been opened recently. Under the present set up he handles the mea ical cases and Dr. B. Smith Lieu tenant (junior grade) is in charge of dental cases. These two men with a staff of fifteen eniisted men as assistants are able to take care of something like 500 pati ents a month of which many form ery had to go to Norfolk for treat ment. These are drawn from an r.rea reaching from Ocracoke to New River. The Dispensary is equipped with both marine and motor ambu lances and offers complete hospit al facilities for Coast Guard men and their dependents. Men are hospitalized at the Section Base in their own ward with their own medical staff; dependents arc tak en care of in the C. G. Ward at the Morehead Cty Hosptal by the C. G. doctors. The new set up, as far. as dent al facllties are concerned, is some thing our Dr. W. L. Woodard has been asking for since September 1941 at which time he enlisted the support of Congressman Graham A. Barden. Barden worked on the matter through 1941 without much encouragement. In February 1943, he reopened the matter at Dr. Woodard's request and wrote that results were still not encouraging but that he would continue his ef fort, and in March the station was authorized.

The city of Raleigh was most hospitable and Arthur Col lins, of London England, visiting speaker, gave an outstanding ad dress. Collins was in London dur ing all air raids on that city and gave a graphic picture of them and the way the British met them.

Sufficient orders for rat poison have been received by the Health Department of lice to require the prepara tion of another supply. Mr. E. L. Hinton, Consultant Engineer with the State Board of Health Typhus Fever Control Div ision is expected to arrive in a few days to direct the work. Typhus fever is still on the in crease in North Carolina recent epidemiological reports show. This disease is carried chiefly by rat fleas and can be entirely prevent ed by the eradication of rats. Because of the large rat popula tion in this county the Health De partment has arranged to provide frequent opportunities for the public to purchase rat poison at cost. This is being done to pre vent a spread of Typhus Fever and other rat born diseases that are prevalent in an increasingly large area of the eastern part of the state. Orders for rat poison are still being taken by the Health Depart ment office in the Court House An nex in Beaufort.

Not Available Commercial Fisheries Commit tee of the State Department of Conservation and Development met at Morehead City on Monday. Public hearings were given on various matters affecting commer cial fishermenbut reports of the proceedings are not available at this time as Capt. John Nelson, State Fish Commissioner has been ill at his home in Marshallberg since the meeting. Children to be entitled to enrollment in the public schools, must be six (6) years of age on or before Octo ber 1st of the year in which they enroll, and must enroll during the first month of the school year." The principals, the tearher, and the school committee are charged individually with the impartial en forcement of a provision of the teachers contract wherein the teacher agrees to "resign her po sition within thirty (30) days af ter becoming aware of her preg nancy." While praising highly the aver age school bus driver, Supt. Allen stated that efforts will be made to reduce still further any speeding;, wreckless driving, or habitual tar diness on the part of the occasion al driver who feels his oats more than he feels his responsibility. Supt. Allen pointed out that parents are too prone to leave complaints "to the other fellow." He again invites parents to feel a personal responsibility for the proper conduct of their school and to take their problems promptly to the proper school official rather than erroneously assuming that school officials are omni-present, "see all, know all," but don't care. TONSILECTOMY. Charles C. Smith son of Mr. and Mrs. Lance Smith, of Broad Street, has just undergone a tonsilectomy at Dr. Sidbury's Hospital in Wil mington. Reports are that he is do ing well. unable to be with him next week. Services at Franklin Memorial Methodist church under the lead ership of Rev. John W.

Gaskill, Chief Boats wain's Mate, USCG, dropped in last week to change his address from Alaska to Fort Macor.. Gaskill has recently returned from patrol duty along the southern Alaskan coast where he has been since since January 1942. Gaskill an old Coast Guard man, was but two days out of the Panama Canal enroute to his assignment when the story of Pearl Harbor and the declaration of war reached him, and this is his first trip home since. Gaskill has had some interesting experiences and some dangerous encounters stories of which can not be fully told. He experienced a "mean" Alaskan winter last year, saw plenty of seals and such, no esquimos, but plenty of Indians and Scandanavians. The new high way is inland off his path with mountains between, but he pictur es a time when there will be arms reaching out to the seacoast wher ever the mountains can be pene trated. Gaskill was mighty glad, however, to get back to Mrs. Gas kill, John Carlton, 15, and ba by Robert Hilton born just be fore he left. He was Boatswain's Mate 2nd class then, and was ad vanced to Chief while away. Gaskill knew from THE BEAU FORT NEWS that Reginald Moore and Maud Carraway were somewhere in the same 590,000 square miles of territory but did not see them. He did, however, see Stanley Oaksmith a number of I times. He says Oaksmith has been there somethng like 37 years. He does fishing and boating, has his children around him, and he thinks he will be happy to live out his life there where he is more at home than in this section in which ho grew up. MAYOR'S COURT; Mayor's Court Monday follow ed the familiar pattern five drunks came up for disposition. The only case differing from rou tine was of a business man refus ing to move trash from Front Street. The Mayor and police of ficers are getting behind those whb dump trash out before and be hind their places with no contain ers or nothing in lieu of contain ers. They say others who persist -in violating the ordinance will also be called up. The town has been making an attempt to cut weeds and grass on vacant town owned lots. There are many privately owned ones that need the same treatment. In the interest of health and by way of doing away with some of our mosquito havens, the Mayor asks that owners of private lots have them cleared. Want to Learn To Be A Nurse?

Girls of Cartere who have completed high school and are interested in this profes sional field should communicate with the hospital at once. A num berof successful Carteret nurses have trained at James Walker. It has the advantage of a high class school within a radius which per mits a girl to get home with fair ease. MORE PALMS R. H.
