He suggested that Beaufort put out a monthly ; bulletin to let outsiders know what the local group is accomplishing. , The Rev. T. R. Jenkins, i.1 charge of the evening's program, spoke to the group of the things that are necessary for men to live in, peace ' with one another. He described the church as the "tap root" of our life. ' i Bill Griffin, visiting Rotarian from Durham, was welcomed by Beaufort Rotary president B. J. May. Telephone Company Distributes New Directory 5 Evidently Carteret county ' ycome of age.

Until the new director l ies came out, no printed change la ,listing had been made since March 26, 1947. S By Aycock Brown Morehead City, Sept. 1. The Jef ferson's lobby was packed with evacuees that had left the beach on Monday afternoon when it looked like the hurricane might strike. There was the tenseness in the air which only a well publicized-in-advance storm can bring about. "This is the corniest hurricane 1 have ever -seen," remarked a freckled-faced eight-year-oldcr. A little blond curly-ahired boy hold ing the leash that had a spaniel at its other end paid no attention to Ihe remark. He only tugged at the leash and looked sleepy. Bridge players in the lobby seem ed to be more interested in cards that hurricanes. Newspapermen, newsreelmen, and photographers were milling around in. the group. They had been working hard to get pictures that would fit into the si tuation while the ccat was being swept away later by the hurricane tides and a big blow. Up in room 48 the AP.had set up a transmitter. A picture of an At lantic Beach merchant named Barefoot boarding up his windows in anticipation of a mighty breeze was beinig rolled off by wire to Atlanta. There it would be retrans mitted by wire to newspapers that had the equipment to receive same. The Bsrofoot photo would be in New York and other metropolitan newspapers by Tuesday morning and the North Carolina dailies would have it by airmail for their Tuesday afternoon editions. I was beginning to agree with the freckled-face youngster. This was a "corny hurricane." For some reason the possibilities of a big storm seemed very remote to me. I have been in the thick of some of the worst gales and hurri canes that have occurred along the North Carolina coast during the I naet 9.n vnarc Wnno rtf than, artaA r " j ........ ........ v . . 1 1 ii . i v u like the one everyone in Morehead City was waiting for on Monday night. As matter of fact I had not ever taken the hurricane seriously. Brantley and I had left Manteo at 6 o'clock. Esther, Billy and'Stormy Gale were Wone at the apartment on Roanoke Island. We picked up Jerry Anderson at The Carolinian on Nags Head and then moved up the beach towards Currituck Sound. The ocean to our starboard seemed peaceful and slick. It had calmed down considerably since the previous afternoon or that is the way it appeared at 7 o'clock on Monday morning as we headed north to Elizabeth City where Brantley was to visit for a day or two and Jerry and myself were to turn south. No storm signals were displayed in the Pasquotank town. There were no storm flags displayed in Edenton. The muddy water flowing beneath the Chowan Bridge as we rolled across the wooden structure towards Edenhouse Point and the peanut plantations beyond seemed to be undisturbed in a pre-hurri-cane way. No one in Washington or at Bell's Fork in Pitt County mentioned a storm in the offing. But when I pulled into New Bern there was plenty of hurricane ex citement. Just about everyone I saw talked about the approaching Lake Excavations Hear Completion On Harvey Smith Properly, Beaufort Nearing completion on Front street extended, Beaufort, are ex cavations for an artificial lake, part of the landscaping for the new home uc'ng built by Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Smith. Mr. Smith is owner and operator of the prosperous Fish Meal company in west Beau fort. Geo. Brooks, engineer, says that the home will be by far the most beautiful and lavish in that section. Actually, the finished project will resemble a small estate. The house will be built of brick and have a 196-foot front. The property itself extends for 600 feet along Taylor'i creek and from Front street extension back to the Lennoxville road. Ground is being removed from the lake site by steam shovel and the lake bottom will be covered with fine white sand. Source of water will be an artesian well. Pre sent plans are to stock the minia ture sea with fish and for above water beauty there will be geese and swans. . : , In the center of the lake, which is 433 feet long and ilO feet wide, will be an island with a . rustic bridge constructed parallel to the waterfront, connecting the island to the "mainland." ; y ? , . Plans call for a guest house west of the lake. . Along Taylor creek Mr. Smith expects to construct his own yacht basin. No estimate has been quoted as to cost or date of completion of the project hurricane. They had been listening to the radio reports. No one but a fool or n guy named Aycock Brown would be de liberately heading into the More head City area, into the' teeth of a hurricane, some of my New Bern friends were saying. So, I continu ed eastward and found upon my arrival here that the hotels were crowded with evacuees. The Al Dcwcys at the Jefferson had looked out for me though. They saved me a room and the hotel's main office in which to work. On the spur of the moment it looked like I would be using the office more than the bed on Monday night. Telephone calls going to the westward were delayed for two a:id ihree hours. The girls at the telephone were being overworked with what every one was trying to identify as "emergency calls." After a while I was able to fol low through on the calls that had come in for me before arrival. I could not reach Manteo over the commercial lines so that is where I enlisted the aid of Cant. Meekins at the Coast Guard station. Fort Ma con and Nags Head Coast Guard helped me get mv mesrtages through to Manteo. You see, by this time, after having made photo graphs of the local signal tower with its two black centered red flags waving in the light breeze, I had started thinking about Esther and the two small children in Man teo. Maybe there would be a storm. I called Mrs. Purser at The Caro linian and asked her to sort of look out for Esther and the children asking them to go to the hotel. There they would be among friends and beneath the roof of what has impressed me as being the most substantial building on the Dare Coast. Then I called Esther to as sure her that everything would be all right, that they could ride out the storm in the safety of The Ca rolinian on Nags Head. I will not go into details here about Esther's opinion of a hus band, who would toflVftJbopw whMi. a hurricane was moving in towards; the coast. It would make the col umn to lengthy, but I might add that some of the remarks were not very complimentary to Breadwin ner Brown whose daily chores may include such things as covering hurricanes with typewriter and camera, when and if the hurricanes start heading towards the North Carolina coast. W. G. Cnthrell Stationed At Elizabeth City Base William G. Cuthrcll, 24, son of Mrs. G. C. Cuthrell, "RFD No. 1, Beaufort, is now serving as an aviation machinist mate third class in the Coast Guard. , Cuthrell's present duty is with the Coast Guard aircraft repair and supply base, Elizabeth City.

The fishermen were from Sal ter Path and Rroak Creek. Cap tain of the crew is Duffy Guthrie, of Salter Path. Hauling them in at that rale would mean that each crewman would take home in his pocket about $20 a day.

Believing that there is a place for high school football in the county and that its adoption would be beneficial to students, a com mittee was appointed, under the chairmanship of Bill Flowers, to discuss the idea with school author ities. The Jaycees were of the opinion that hich school football in More head City would receive all the financial support needed. They planned to contact Claud Wheat ly, president of the Beaufort Junior Chamber of Commerce,' in order to instigate similar activity in Beau fort. While on the subject of football, the possibility of a touch football league, built along the lines of the recently-formed Carteret Softball league, was discussed. Tackling, the I Jaycees unanimously agreed, would be out of the question! Bernard Leary, in charge of the Jaycees' scheduled trip to Ocra cokc, declared that tentative plans still call for the once-postponed journey. Providing that ("apt. Glenn Willis's boat, "Air Lapwing," is available and that enough Jay cees are willing to go, the trip will be made Sunday. If not, the boat ride will have to be postponed The Jaycees plan to leave on Sunday and return by noon Mon day, which is Labor Day. The trip uvas originally scheduled for this past Sunday. The names of various members were taken who volunteered to as sist with selective service registra tion in Morehead City. Other civic clubs and organizations have also been asked to cooperate. The meeting ended with showing of the film, "Meet North Carolina." The Jaycees will meet Monday, Labor Day evening, at the Fort Macon hotel and a week from this Monday at the recreation center, Shepard street, when it will be a ladies' night. Monday night's meeting was un der the direction of Bill Chalk, who presided in the absence of presi dent Bruce Goodwin. Mr. Goodwin was in Norfolk attending a funeral. Beaufort Lad, Fun in Being a Everett Styron, Turner street, Beaufort, Is well on his way to be coming an outstanding numisma tist. Although he's only 14 he knows more about money than any other person in Carteret county and he's not a banker or a busi nessman. He's merely interested in coins, big ones, little ones, old and new ones. He started this unique hobby when he was 12, just two years ago. Some old coins and bills were given to him and that was the beginning. Soon he vtps sending away for books on coins and now has from 15 to 20 different sources for reference which are used to identify and classify his collection. When he needs a certain type of coin to complete a series he orders this also if it's available. But as in any hobby, the rare pieces are the valuable ones and these can't be had merely by ordering. He has now Jefferson nickels of every year since 1938, when they were first minted, with the mint identification letters. These let ters are S for San Francisco, D for Denver and P for Philadelphia. He needs about eight more of these to complete the collection completion. t He has a large buffalo nickel col lection, 85 Indian head pennies, 950 foreign coins from 108 differ ent Countries and islands, and rare American coins including half pen nies and several two and a half cent pieces. ; He trades coins and also buys them. Donald (Buddy Boy) Wade, of Morehead City, recently sold a large silver Dutch coin to Everett for 50 cents.

Fishermen Hug Harbor In Fear of Hurricane Fishermen, as a result of hur ricane warnings, kept their boats tied up the first of this week, and if shrimp were running the same as last week, lost hundreds and hundreds of dollars because of the blow that never came. It has been reported that the shrimp were not running as well during the past several days but this was not definitely attributed by any fishermen to the offshore storm. Boatmen in this area are com plaining bitterly about the lack of official reports on the hurricane. Only two bulletins were received direct from the hurricane station at Miami, Fla., declared D. G. Bell, commodore of the Morehead City Sailing club, and these were more than 12 hours apart. One communique late Monday reported' the hurricane still head ed this way and the next one, re ceived Tuesday morning, reported that the storm had changed its course. Hourly reports, Mr. Bell declar ed, -would have saved residents of this lection a great deal of anxiety Monday night - Arrangements are being m'de now through the Morehead City Chamber of Commerce to ' .have such reports tent here in case of hurricane threat io the future. . to Nine 1CTI Fall Term To Begin Sept. 23 Students Will Register Sept. 20 For One Or Two-Year Courses RAI.KIGlf, N.
