WAR DRIVE
The big National War Fund
Drive will be officially opened on
Monday, November first, according
to Mr. Stanley Woodland, Chair
man for Carteret County. It will
contiue through November sixth,
with a goal of $125,000,000 with
which to serve a score of agencies
reaching out around the world to
serve our boys, including prison
ers of war, in whatever part of
the globe they may be and provide
'funds for certain services in coun
tries overrun by agressor nations.
Dr. O. H. Johnson will be Pub
licity Director for the Drivs. Com
mittees working under Mr. Wood
land will be announced in next

Through the work of the local
USO people have had their best op
portunity to see something of what
is done with this fund. The excel
lent direction of the work in the
County will make it easy for
members to ask support without
apology, and it is expected that
Carteret people will stand behind
the work again with generous
contributions.

Local REA System
Observes Anniversary
. The Carteret-Craven Electric
Membership Corporation, Beau
fort, last week entered its third
year of supplying electric service
to farmers and other rural con
sumers in this area.
Citing the progress of the Co
operative since its lines were first
energized on October 15, 1941,
Manager R. M. McGrit recalled
that the system had only 62 con
sumers at the end of its first
month of operation. Today the
Cooperative furnishes electric
service to 349 . consumers along
145 miles of distribution lines in
Craven and Carteret counties.
Farm members of the Coopera
tive have come to depend "more
and more on electric equipment to
save labor and increase produc
tion of such vital foods" as milk,
egg3, poultry and meats, Mr. Mc
Girt said, the 317 farms served by
the Cooperative consumed an av
erage of 37 kilowatt hours in Aug-ust.
The Cooperative encourages its
members to make the best possible
use of existing electrical equip
ment and to build home-mnde de
vices. Mr. McGirt said. The Coop
erative has plans for several home
made appliances such as a chick
brooder and fruit and vegetable
dehydrator which require few crit
ical materials. Many of the elec
tric devices saving a substantial
amount of labor are in the farm
home, including water systems,
washing machines, ranges, refrig
erators and irons.
The Cooperative's program got
underway on December 19, 1940
when the REA allocated $143,000
of its first loan to the system.
Construction started after a con
tract had been let on May 7, 1941
for the building of 158 miles of
line at a cost of $99,414. REA has
advanced the Cooperative a total
of $143,109 on its construction al
lotments as of June 30, 1943.

Judge Frizzelle
Praises Small
County Docket
"DEER CASE" DRAGS
COLLINS GETS 8-10
YEARS FOR SHOOTING
HIS WIFE BEATRICE
Thirty odd spectators in
addition to jurymen and oth
ers connected with Court
heard Judge Frizzelle in his
charge to the jury on Mon
day morning at 10:30 when
the October one week term
of mixed criminal and civil
court opened at Beaufort
Judge Frizzelle commented on
The' smalf criminal "docket and on
the fact that for the past twelve
year3 since he has been coming
here he has always found a light
docket. "After this war as after
the last," he warned, " we shall
probably find that for some years
there will be an increase in crime
in the nation. Now Is the time to
make an imprint on the public
mind respecting the duty of the
citizen to obey the law not as
it applies to the other fellow, but
as it applies to himself."
In his talk to the jury, the
Judge dwelt on thd dignity and
importance of the jury as an insti
tution ovr a thousand years old
"Ours is patterned after the sys
tem obtained in England for cen
turies. In early days, only those
of high character and intelligence
were eligible for duty. In our
country, the same high tradition
has been maintained. It is a job of
distinction and a high compli
ment to be selected for service.
The idea of the uninformed that
anyone who can find his way to
the Court Room is capable of serv
ing as a juryman is erroneous. The
importance of the service can be
seen in the fact that the first step
in Court is the selection of the
Jury. That in itself signifies that
it is an indispensable part of the
Court, and that the Court cannot
organize without it.
"Duties," warned the Judge,
"will be onerous, many distaste
ful, often unpleasant. They would
not be so disagreeable should you
proceed on the theory that you will
indict only those persons in whom
none of you are interested and
shield friends and acquaintances.
But such a procedurp would not
only bring you yourselves but the
whole machinery of the Court in
to contempt. You will never in pri
vate capacity be called upon to
render a more vital service. Try
ing times these are, I understand
that, and am gratified in the light
of such knowledge that so few
have asked to be excused. With
the millions of our men serving a-
oroaa tnat our democratic govern
ment and our way of life mi?ht be
preserved, what sort of people
would we be at home to wince, or
shirk, or dodge? The service you
will render will be reflected for
many years in the kind of govern
Beaufort Jaycees sat down to
a steak dinner at the Inlet Inn at
their October meeting the second
Monday in the month. As if that
were not enough to make the ev
ening outstanding, Master Ser
geant Harry Tyler was present
and spoke to the group of his ex
periences in the Pacific theatre of
War and showed photographs of
his aircraft and some action a
gainst the Japanese. Jaycees ask
ed questions freely and Tyler gen
erously answered all that the code
of wartime practices permitted.
Beginning Saturday, the 23rd,
Jaycees and Rotarians in coopera
tion will start a campaign to raise
money for cigarettes for our boys
over there. Half pint cartons will
be placed in the various stores for
contributions for this purpose,
and everyone is urged to drop
small change in them to make it
possible for these organizations to
do something worthwhile with
the project.

LEARNS SEVEN
THINGS III A
HARD SCHOOL
Drunken Sergeant
Dean's Pedagogue
The Rev. Israel H. Noe,
native of Beaufort, now rec
tor of St. James Episcopal
Church, has been going a
round Memphis nursing a
badly swollen jaw for sev
eral weeks past. As he er
plains it, he says he hf
learned seven things. Thes
seven truths follow together
with the story of how he
learned them as taken from
the Chattanooga Press- Sci
mitar
What Dean Noe Learned
"In the first place I learned that
most of the major blows of life
have no physical pains attached
to them, therefore, we should not
be afraid to stand ,
for principle fori
fear of s o m e
physical mutila
tion.
"In th scond
place I learned
that we must al
ways turn the
other cheek,
which in this case
I more than did.
"In the third
place I learned Dean Noe
that there is a point beyond which
evil must not be allowed to go. To
give in to evil beyond that point
and to allow it to dominate not on
ly gives power to it, but makes us
a participator in it and a parly to
it.
"In the fourth place I learned
that when we have the courage to
stand for the right, all the spirit
ual forces stand with us, and give'
triumph to the right.
"In the fifth place I learned that
we never become loo good to
maintain our manhood and spirit
ual integrity.
"In the sixth place I learned that
what God wants in life is not
peace at any price but righteous
ness at any cost.
"In the seventh place I learned
that it is possible to go thru such
experiences without any personal
feelings of hate or dislike for the
other fellow."
How He Learned It
"About four weeks ago my
youngest daughter and I were com
ing from Atlanta on the bus. We
arrived in Chatanooga at 2 a. m.
The next bus for Memphis left
around 7. The bus station was not
comfortable, so I suggested that
we go over to the Hotel Patten to
rest in the lobby until time for the
bus to leave.
"During the time we were there,
four or five soldiers who had been
drinking came in. After a while
they left. One soldier remained
who had been drinking just enough
to make him mean. He rode up and
down the elevator to the mezzain
ine, and sought to catch the at
tention of the girls in the office
