BENEFIT BALL
FRIDAY NIGHT

Committees at Work
On Infantile Drive
More Phosphate
To Be Available
Farmers of Carteret County a
gain may obtain superphosphate
as conservation material under the
1944 Agricultural Conservation
Program of the AAA, according to
S. D. Edwards, chairman of the
County AAA Committee.
The deduction rate for phos
phate this year will be $20.00 per
ton for 20 per cent material, $19.
00 per ton for 19 per cent, and $18.
00 per ton for 18 per cent, which
is slightly more than the rate
which prevailed in 1943 due to in
creased costs of shipment from
the sources of supply.
Phosphate supplies will be limit
ed in 1944, but the amounts avail
able will be somewhat larger than
last year. Allocations will be made
on a monthly basis, and every far
mer who plans to use phosphate
should give us his order as soon a3
possible.
A total of 36,963 tons was used
in the entire state last year. Of
this total amount used, farmers of
Carteret County applied 89 tons
under the 1943 program.
Furnishing phosphate and other
conservation materials is a point
of the AAA program designed to
increase production of food crops
immediately, and at the same time
to maintain fertility of the soil.
Costs of all such materials are de
ducted from payments due individ
ual farmers at the close of the
program year.
All orders for phosphate under
the 1944 program should be placed
at the County AAA Office.
Tickets are on sale for the
President's Birthday Ball to be
held at the USO Friday night. The
price will be $1.00 per civilian
couple and fifty cent3 for guests of
servicemen. Servicemen alone will
not be charged. The Committee
has asked us to extend a cordial
invitation to civilians in the com
munity to come out and enjoy the
evening and emphasize that this is
not exclusively a service man's
party.
Girl Scouts have been collecting
for the fund in theatres at each of
the evening showings this week
with encouraging results. Mrs. Ra
by Simmons, Chairman of the
''March of Dimes" committee has
been at work and plans to carry
out the contest at the dance Friday
evening that met with such success
last year. A bottle for each state in
the Union will be placed conspicu
ously into which guests will be ask
ed to drop dimes. At intervals the
amounts will be annouced and at
the end of the evening the state
leading will be named. At any
gathering here today, there are
representatives of practically ev
ery state and the contest promises
to be keen as each tries to uphold
the honor of the old home place.
CAT CATCHER'S
IN CARTERET
Mark Gupton on
Biennial Visit
If you see an old truck on the
street piled four high with chicken
coops they're not chickens.
Mark Gupton, cat collector for
the Carolina riinlogical Supply
Company is in town making Iris bi
ennial visit. He's in the marke t for
stray cats. It's not the best season
for cats, he'll tell you, but neith
er is it for snakes or lizards or
black widows his other specialties
and a man must live so he is go
ing to do the best he can buying
cats. He says he has averaged 300
a month for the past months.
Gupton stresses the fact tha1-. the
cats are treated humanely. He
feeds and waters them well per
haps better than they have known
before'. They eat if I don't he says
for a sick cat doe3ii t bring me
anything. A nice adolescent cat in
the top cage surveying the sunset
across the water and several com
fortable trusting adults sleeping
in the second cage as he parked on
the water front this week seemed
to bear out his statement.
"How'd you get in such a bus
iness?" ' 'Don't say anything about this,
he began but" Since the story
starts there we have to say that
Gupton is a World War Veteran
wounded in France. "In hospitals, I
found out about this market." He
began supplying hospitals direct
but now collects almost exclusively
for the Carolina Biological Supply
Company at Elon College.
Like most other things, Gupton's
business is having a war boom. The
government is pressing for more
and more "essential industry
plenty of gas and tires" he'll tell
you. Since the beginning of the
war his firm has had to add a new
warehouse to the three they had
and add a story to another. ''We
carry everything for scientific ex
perimentation except human's," he
boasts. . " ." .,,
Gupton intends to make Beau
fort his headquarters for several
weeks. After he covers Beaufort,
he will travel the eastern part of
the County in which he feels much
at home from many trip3 in the
past.

Promise A Bond
For Each Child
Both boys and girls basket ball
teams of BHS lost to Smyrna in an
exciting game Tuesday night. The
boys, try as they might (and they
sure tried to better Smyrna's un
defeated team), only lacked up 11
points against our opponents 23.
The girls lost 19-33.
This double header is the third
of the 1944 conference games in
which Beaufort has participated.
The first was played against New

Howard Gaskill
R. C. Chairman
For Johnston Co.
Howard V. Gaskill, son of
'Miss Annie" Gaskill, of Turner
Street, has been named County
Chairman of the Red Cross Drive
for the Johnston County Chapter.
Mr. Gaskill is a Beaufort boy.
He and his family have lived in
Selma for the past 14 years where
he has been prominent in the relig
ious and civic life of the communi
ty. He is now technical employee
of the American Telephone and
Telsgraph Company office there.
Schools of the County have tak
en hold of the Fourth War Loan
Drive in a big way. Every school in
the County has courageously pledg
ed to sell at least one bond for
each pupil.
The matter has been presented
not just to faculties but to the chil
dren in the schools themselves. At
Smyrna when Mrs. J. G. Allen,
Chairman of the Woman's Divis
ion, spoke to the group in. Assem
bly, it seemed as if a hand was
raised by every single one of the
255 pupils pledging cooperation;
and the report has already reacn-
ed this office that the following
day, two of the grades had already
reached their quota but they
haven't stopped working,
Apart from the patriotic motive,
the schools have been given the
incentnve of prospect of winning
a battered and nicked helmet from
the head of a German soldier a
worthy prize to display with ath
letic and forensic trophies.
Camp Glenn, under Fred Lewis,
is said to be already "threatennig"
to run over its quota for the school
even though the drive is scarcely a
week old Beaufort School sold
nearly a fourth of its quota on
Tuesday of this week. Atlantic
met the challenge thrown out by
Mrs. Allen on Monday with an en
thusiastic display of hands after
which Principal Smithy announced
simply "We begin to bring in mon
ey tomorrow" so there is probably
the same good report to be made
there. In Newport, Miss Julia Hill,
Miss Minnie Johnson, and Miss
Grace Jones of the School Faculty
have the campaign in charge. Re
membering Newport's feat m the
last drive, there seems to be noth
ing to worry about there. More
head City has accepted the same
challenge. They are a few days
later than the other schools in get
ting organized, but they are get
ting underway today with fervour
and energy.
The school trrive is somewhat ov

92nd Birthday
Charles Allen Mason, of Atlan
tic, celebrated his 92nd birthday
Sunday with a family dinner at the
old home place where he lives with
his daughter, Mrs. C. C. Edwards,
and her family. The big birthday
cake was not large enough to hold
a candle for each year so the 92
had to be included in the decora
tive icing.
Mr. Mason is one of the oldest
men in the County. Until he retir
ed he was always interested in the
fishing industry. He is remarkably
well for hjs age and except for
failing vision has all his faculties.
He enjoys the radio and keeps up
with all the world events.
Mr. Mason has 83 living descend
ants. He has 7 living children and
76 grandchildren and great giand
children. Because of world condi
tions, no attempt was made to have
all of his family around him its he
has had at times. Mrs. L. C. Malb
ly, was down, Mrs. H. U. Justice,
of Sneads Ferry, and Mrs. John
Jones and Betsy Jones from here
wei'e down.

Few Heard In Two
Sessions of Court
Recidivist
Shirley Self, colored, Vhginia
fisherman, had his third encounter
with our courts this week. Found
guilty of assault on Sam Rhodes
and Lee Van Johnson in Recorder's
Court on December 14th, he was
given a 6 months suspended sen
tence. He was again heard in May
or's Court early this month charg
ed with cutting a colored woman
but was convicted of drunkenness
and disorderly conduct only. Nov
for the third time he has appeared
in our Courts. Monday morning
Mayor Paul heard him again on
the charge of drunkenness and
gave him a sentence of thirty days
on the town streets.
Other cases on docket were
three other drunks two white
and one colored.
Recorder's Court failed to con
vene on the 18th but convened on
the 21st instead which made two
sessions fall in the seven day per
iod since the News came out last
week. Even with a double header
the total number of cases heard
was comparatively small.
Last Friday, Norman Larkee
(white) answered a charge of vio
lation of the game law. He plead
guilty, was fined $50 and costs of
approximately $24. The fine was
suspended and he paid the costs.
James Taylor (white) and Rob
bert Lewis (white) were both
charged with possession of non tax
paid liquor. Prayer for judgment
continued. Both paid costs. The
rest of the session was occupied
with minor traffic violations.
On Tuesday of this week, Lu
ther Cannon, colored, charged
Jesse Cherry with assault and theft
of two ducks and twelve bottles of
beer. Eoth told different stories
and each roundly denied that of
the other. There was no evidence
to support the charge of theft, but
there was some trouble at Jesse'
house involving borrowed money,
a butcher knife, and cussin,' and
the defendant was charged with
officers's costs.
