Three Preachers, a Teacher and an Editor Finally Take Long-Planned Fishing Trip To Swasboro and back with a bunch of preachers is a real delight. In ac cordance with a plan which had been in the making for a year, the Editor chaperoned a party composed of preachers Pardo, Manning and Lee of the local churches. Reverend Mr. j Dickey was prevented from going on account of other engagements, but ] Superintendent Pope filled his place j in a splendid way. The party set out in the new j Chevrolet cars of Pardo and Lee at I one o'clock Tuesday except the chap- j erone, who had gone on ahead as far j as Washington to listen in on the j Blown will case trial. ' Leaving Washington at 2:30, the party traveled without mishap until the short unimproved section of road near Vaneeboro was reached when svdenly the car struck the bridge a- j crostj Turtle branch and bounced the editor so high it skinned his head against the top of th car. The party passed on through the long crooked street at Vaneeboro and then on to New Hern which is regarded one ol the State's prettiest towns, Washing ton, however, contests it. The next town is good old Pollocks- 5 ville on the Trent. Then comes Mays- j ville, the mill town. From there the party traveled the hard surface to the} little village of Belgrade, where travel . was made on the old sand road 17 j miles t© Swansboro; There we found a very old town, according to some of the residents, the third, some others the fourth oldest j in the State following Bath, Edcnton, | and Coleraine. We, of course, are not! attempting history, the statement that it is an old town, however, is re-1 liable. We found it to enter the town as bcth Lee and Pardo had fished and | preached there. We drove straight to the Tarrymore, the only hotel in the town, a very friendly place of the! usual beach type. We found Mr. and! Mrs. S. W. Everett in charge. They had kept hotel in Hamilton for three j years about 25 years ago and also at I Hobgood for several years. The sup per showed them to be good feeders. Perhaps Pope ate more than any other member of our party. He play ed between the Bogue sound blue fish and the Onslow county ham for a long time. We heard a church bell and all at tended services save one who took in the sights of the town. All the mem •bers of the party retired early with the plan to set sail at 5 o'clock next morning in their minds. The next] morning we heard the bee bird unci | the martins trying to sing at the, earliest dawn. The gang responded promptly to the early call ami after j drinking u cup of coffee, its members stepped aboard the launch, "Ava j Marin" with Captain K. Bloodgood | at the wheel and his very genial mate ! Everett Canada along a.» bait cutter. In order lo get the fine scenery of White Oak river, Bogue sound and the other beautiful things that nature | has planted there, we climbed on top of the little ship where our captain 1 pointed out the channels, the oyster grouds, the fish school yards where they feed and play in the currents. All the while we were mak ing for bigger waiters and bigger flr.h on the rocks many miles from shore. We passed along the channel where the inland water way is soon to go and finally into the Bague inlet about three miles from I town. We soon sighted the army of I mighty waves all wearing white caps, a beautiful just under the rising sun. I We had been warned that the sea ! might be too rough, but we* hoped not and .pressed on to find the swells running very high before we crossed the bar, but our Captain sailed on. I vy hen the little boat did get out Jnmesville 4-H Club In Regular Meeting (Continued from first pago>_ ever alert we entered the industry of cooking. Through the patient work o our demonstrator, who seems never to tire of teaching and who is ever rei dy and willing to promote an or' ganization that represents industry, education and better homes in Martin county, we have accomplished start ling results. ICnowinjf that bread is one of our chief foods, we are now taking: ui> the assignment of "Quick Breads", and it is surprising to see the number of girls who, before, knew nothing of ccoking, are now bringing to the ciub actual proof of their newly ac quired knowledge. DurinK the last meeting seven girls brought their ex ,periments in baking, and these will cli ss on an avenge with the women's work. The success of this club work may no-, be entirely attributed to the splendid cooperation and loyalty of the parents. This, no doubt, has play •d a great part, but the achievements a're due only to the practical train ing and excellent management so generous"y given by Miss Trentham who is striving to make possible a higher and finer type of community life, deriving its strength from the home builders of the coming genera tion. •/ •- '.J ■ Rev. and Mrs. C. O. Pardo motored to Norfolk yesterday, where Mrs. Pardo will spend some time with her Mwtiwr, who Is UL - fc where the big waves rolled, she would go up in the air and the spray would beat in. She had not battled the waves very long before the Captain belled for steam off, shifted rudder and headed back to the harboT. Not a member of the party complained! when the Captain turned his boat a reund, but no one seemed afraid of the high seas. Upon its return to the harbor, the party's members fished a little for fun, catching a few pinfish, small I perch, spots, crokers, several fight- j ing crabs and two small man-eating sharks. While the other members of the j party were trying to fish the Chaper-| one was landed on Dudley's island, where he carried on his expo rations. The island, one of the beauty spots on the Atlantic coast for a resort, consists only of a few hundred acres of land with two miles of beach bound on the northeast by Bogue Inlet, on the southwest by Bear inlet, on the northwest by Bogue sound and front- j ing Africa on the southeast. Fart ot j it is covered by lieautiful sand dunes j and about hulf with a beautiful for rest of pine, oak, dogwood, persim- J mon, live oak and dozens of other kinds of trees. Besides the beauty we found nothing except the appar ent relics of some old ruin, consist ing of old iron, some lead an& money. All was found a few hundred yards inside the bar where the tide has | swept the shores and cut under the 1/i.nks, taking earth and trees. These tl.ings were found in the sand banks between the ebb and flood tide line. We exhibited the money when we reached the friendly city, only to be to! dthat we had found >the hidden, treasury of Teach or smile of the famous Spanish buccaneers of the} clays of old. The only thing that did j not fit was the date on the old timei Fig penny which bore the inscription,' "United States yf America" on onej side "and the date "1K16" on the other, making it rather round for Kluebeuid. Since he had buried nothing but gold, the discovered copper coin could hard ly have been among his hidden treas ure. On our retain to port, we ate a fine ...'a food dinner at the little octagon shapped restaurant Swansboro is one of the natural beauty spots on the Carolina coast, a town of about 500 good people, seasoned with the salt of the sea and with brotherly kindness. They are l.rad to offer any information you may wish. If you meet a man with a News and Observer and ask--him where the news stand is located, he is kind in saying we have none but he will politely ;top, take a seat and hand you his and say read mine, 1 WANTS J.

' No cobbling job—but as hign grade work as comes from the factory when shoes are new. Do not risk health with damp or wet feet during the cold spring months. If the uppers are good, we can mail# fir shoes new at less than half the cost of a new pair. PROMPT SERVICE SALSBURY ELECTRIC SHOE SHOP 11 will be glad to wait for you. They use most of their streets for three purposes, streets, roads and side walks'." The houses there are mostly of the type seen in beach towns. There are r.bt so many stores, and most of them carry fishing tackle and boat equip ment. Three churches, Methodist, Baptist, and Unitarian give the town a religious atmosphere. There are two splendid high school buildings, I one a public school arid the other a Unitarian school built by northern in- I tcrests. They have several graveyards scattered around the town, but only ! one, a central city grave yard which | is fairly well-kept and fringed with | flowers and evergreens, is now used. Many of the tombs show more than i eighty and some ninety between birth j and death, indicating the good health jet the section. You can see while standing in the cemetery the breakers I three miles away. We suppose Swansboro derived its i name from the large droves of swan j that made the section their haven of | rest before the high-powered rifle ' came into existence. I It selects as its slogan, "The Friend ' ly City by the Sea" which it goes fur ther than to say but demonstrate it. Although its Trarbor teems with beautifully painted little boats which catch many fish and oysters, they have to be freighted "in little boats to Morehead City for market or a v/ait the arrival of trucks from Kins ton, Goldsboro or some other up country place. The market price for spots is 5 cents and blue fish 8 cents. The trouble with Swansboro is the fact that it is connected with the out j side world by only a ribbon of gand | seventeen miles long. If it had a rail | read or other convenient means of ! quick connection with the world, it ! would- probably be o\ir best coasx | town. It is by far the best agricul , tural community of any of the coast i al towns, having a good clay founda | tion even down to the water's edge, i Our party set sail for home aftei i dinner fully decided on another trip. It is a fine thing to go out for a day's outing with a" bunch of good Allows and not hear a curse word or hear a lie about fishing.

Even when such a voice could give pleasure to only a few thousand people in a year it was a nntional treasure. Nbw that millions may en joy it on the same eveuing through the medium of radio, such a voice has become priceless. • "The National Radio Audition, sup ported by the Atwater Kent Found* tlon, Is uu to search the entire country for beautiful voices and to offer these singers an oppor tunlty for full development, recogni tlon and reward. The principal qualifications for con tenants are as follows: Must not be over 25 years old; must never have been associated with a professional theatrical or operatic company; must never have been s paid principal in any concert held out side their own states; must declare an Intention to follow a musical ca reer and must be free from theatrical or musical contracts.

Musical organizations In each state are also afforded an opportunity to participate.
