A Merger Of .-.-
The Beaufort Newt (est. 1912) k the Twin City timet (est. 1936)
EDITORIAL PAGE
Trees, Money Wilh Roots
Early last summer Joseph Herlevich of the state forestry sorv
- Ice came to Beaufort with the hope of interesting Carteret coun
ty's commissioners in the North Carolina forest protection pro
. .gram. At that time Carteret county was the only county in dis
trict 4 which was not participating in this effort to preserve
stands of timber and to re-stock the land with new rreesv
Mr. Herlevich pointed out to the commissioners that close to
90 per cent of our land, 300,000 acres, is in forest, and that each
year thousands of dollars of potential revenue were being snatch
ed out from under our noses by destructive fires.
The county was asked to near, just one-fourth of the cost of
maintaining a fire warden, deputy wardens throughout the county
and the equipment necessary to fight fires.
Even though the county budget was stretched almost to the
bursting point the county commissioners realized that preserva
tion of our forests was of tremendous importance, that most of
our people did not and do not today realize that trees are act
ually money, that they can't be produced overnight, that they
can't protect themselves from enemies, and that the future pros
perity of the county depends upon jealously guarding our thous
ands of acres of pine.
The Beaufort News in 1947 and THE NEWS-TIMES today
is firmly in favor of the continuation of this forestry program.
We highly commend the action of the county commissioners in
acting wisely to protect the interests of every citizen in Carteret
county. In doing this they are bettering the state as a whole,
for unchecked fires in this county could spread to surrounding
counties. Th'e fact that Onslow is participating in the fire con
trol program would be of little value if flames originated in this
area and spread their destruction beyond the county line; Fire,
like wind' and wave on the rampage, is no respecter of boundaries.
Though fire prevention is an important part of the forestry
preservation program, woodlot owners and farmers forget that
they can also obtain aid from state foresters in cutting their tim
ber, re-planting of trees, and control of insects and other tree
killers. These services are available and more of us should become
conscious of them. This week experts in forestry are meeting
at Barkers lodge on Markers Island. Although they have not
scheduled an open1 forum in which local woodlot owners and farm
ers could present problems and gain information, we're sure that
the experts will be glad to give advice to anyone who requests it.
State Forester Beichler and his organization are doing a re
markable piece of work. Our hats are off to them and we hope
their meeting in our county is both pleasant and prdfltable.
Tlwughts for an open mind...
The world is full of willing people: some are willing to work, oth
ers are willing to let them.
Gather the crumbs of happiness and they will make you a loaf of
contentment.
Life consists in movement. We exist physically, because our or
ganism is the seat of constant motion; and if we are to exist
intellectually, it can only be by means of continual occupa
tion. ,
Those are happiest of all who are conscious of the power to pro
duce works animated by some significant purpose.

RECORD
Several of the town's cracker
barrel philosophers were engaged
in a discussion of the value of
education. One man stressed the
importance of a good education,
saying that anyone is at a distinct
disadvantage without it.
"Well, now, I'm not so sure
about that," replied an old man.
"I'm not edicated at all, an' it
seems to me that when you're not
rdicated, you just have to use

Tennessee Farmer Likes
To See Dollars in Action
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Joe
Eakin likes to see his dollar pro
duce more dollars for projects he
feels are worthy. The 75-year-old
retired farmer got -a kbrary-on-wheels
moving in. Fort Smith, Ark.,
jliat way. Somewhere in the plan
ring stage the projeet bogged
down. Eakin s?id he'd give a dol
lar a week until the bookmobile
was on the road. It took 28 weeks,
but they made it.
He's giving a dollar a month to
the Gold Star fathers' organiza
tion, waiting for enough others to
join- him to make it a $10,000-a-month
fund for children of vet
erans killefl in service. Another of
Eakin' s producing dollars goes
monthly to a hospital project in
West Memnhis, Ark. and will uu.
til "the first patient is actually
there." Other dollars go monthly
to the publicity fund of a Farm
ers' Union and to an interdenomi
national church mission in Mem
phis. A dollar can do a lot of
good, Eakin figures, if it attracts
others.
