inese are commentaries on a
subject of the greatest interest to
all thoughtful people, namely, whe
ther the third world war is going
to take place, and if so, when. The
general interest in the subject is
shown in a recent article by C. K.
Sulzberger which appeared in The
New York Times under the head
line, "Imminence of War Doubted
by Leaders of U. N. Ssession."
The writer gives reasons pro and
con as to the likelihood of war,
quoting military and other authori
ties. The conclusion, eppearing in
the headline of the article is, "No
sign of outbreak soon but are pes
simistic about the future." On
reading the entire analysis, the si
tuation presents itself to me like
the elements when the clouds are
thick and heavy and the tempera
ture unusually high and other me
teorological phenomena abnormal.
Under such conditions you know
that a change in the weather is
imminent, but it is not possible to
guess whether it will be mild, light,
severe, or catastrophic.
But in any event a competent
mariner doesn't wait until the
storm has struck before he trims
his sails. From time immemorial,
sea-faring men have been able to
anticipate bad weather by well
known signs. They are nearly in
fallible on preparing, but some
times the storm indicated peters
out before it strikes. Sometimes
it is more severe than anticipated.
But a good captain always pre
pares for the storm, whether it ma
terializes or not.
It is just as sure as anything in
this world can be, that Russia is
going to extend her power and in
fluence over Europe and Asia and
other parts of the world unless she
is stopped by force, or by weak
ness or impotence within her own
sphere. The corollary to this as
sumption follows:
The United States cannot with
draw or dissociate itself from the
disturbance in the world that hsr
followed in the wake of wars, par
ticularly world war 1 and world
war 2, resulting in the possible
dominance of Russia if she is not
checked.
Since the United States cannot
withdraw and take a non-belliger-ant
position and since success In
any undertaking military or other
wise, is dependent upon prepara
tion, It follows that the . United
Statea must continue to prepare
for war on an even more stupen
dous scale than ever before, whe
ther war eventually breaks out or
not. , Twenty per cent more, better,
and sooner preparation would
have diminished the duration of
World wan 1 nnH 2 inMtimihlv
and might have prevented them. I

From Ball Park
Summer Project Declared
Success by Mrs. Ralph
Eudy, Chairman
The ways and means committee
of the Beaufort Parent-Teacher as

neediest project coming first," de
clared Mrs. Kudy.
Ten per cent of all Eate receipts

Three Curiosities
Of Fish World
Caught Recently
Three curiosities of the fish
'world turned up on the Carteret
coast this past week at least they
are curiosities in this locale.
A white-pearl colored fish,
known as a 'lady-fish," "bone-fish,"
or "wolf fish," and called by the
scientists "Albula Vulpes" was
taken in a mullet net on Atlantic
Beach recently.
Now preserved in formaldehyde
at the United States Fishery Bio
logical station, the fish is 21 12
inches long and weighed three
pounds.
A smaller fish of this type was
taken here several years ago, Dr.
Herbert Prytherch, scientist at the
station said, and a model of it was
made several months ago at the
lab.
The lady-fish has food value and
in waters where it is more plenti
tul sometimes grows to a length
of three feet. 4
Ben Arrington, of Beaufort,
while fishing with a gill net on
the west beach of Piver's Island
the other day came up with a. star
gazer. This funny creature has
ves and mouth on the top of his
head and also an electric or mag
netic field around his head. He
buries himself in the sand, watches
with mouth open and when a Uttle
fish or crabs swim by, they get
pulled into the mouth by means
of the peculiar electric field, Dr,
Prvtherch explained.
Mr. Arrington's star gazer
weighed over a pound.
While testing the Guthrie
'hrimp net recently, a male sea
horse went- through the Guthrie
net and was caught in the collect
ing net, and upon examination Dr.
Prytherch found the fellow's sto
mach full of babies, i ; . ' ';
The little ones are expected to
emerge from their daddy's brood
pouch very toon. The father is
doing nicely in a salt water tank
in the fishery lab. v
The sea horse is a rare kind of
creature in that the mother is re
lieved of carrying the young 'uns
untU they art born. , , ;'
A petition for the abolition of
gambling at the greyhound dog
race track near Morehead City is
being circulated by ministers of
Carteret county.
The petition, sponsored by the
Coastal Ministerial association,
which represents all Protestant
church groups in the county, was
brought to the attention of some
congregations Sunday morning.
The Rev. C. M. Mitchell, Atlantic,
chairman of the committee which
drafted the petition for the asso
ciation, said it is too early yet to
predict the response to their anti
gambling campaign.
Pastors have until Oct. 21 to re
turn the signed petitions to the
committee, Mr. Mitchell said.
The petition calls for action in
the general assembly by H. S.
Gibbs, Carteret county's represen
tative, and is aimed at the gamb
ling features of the dog track.
The petition rtads as follows:
"We, the undersigned citizens
and residents of Carteret County,
respectfully request of Hon. H. S.
Gibbs, member of the General As
sembly, Session of 1949, providing
for the repeal ol that part ol tne
law which permits gambling at the
greyhound race track in Carteret
County."
The Coastal Ministerial associa
tion went on record as being op
posed "to all forms of gambling"
at its Sept. 13th meeting. The
Rev. T. R. Jenkins and the Rev.
W. L. Smith were appointed to a
committee with Mr. Mitchell at
that time to arrange for "approp
riate action" in the name of the
association on the issue of gamb
ling at the dog track.
In reporting back to the associa
tion at its regular monthly meet
jng yesterday, Mr. Mitchell ex
plained that the circulation of the
petition is an effort "to put pres
sure on our representative to get
him to do something about it
(gambling)."
"If our. effort tails yi .tjie Gen
eral Assembly," he declared, "we
have other plans."
Mr. Mitchell suggested that a
house to house canvass be made
by laymen of the various church
es, in addition to the sponsorship
of the move from the pulpits.
The cemmittee chairman also
called for a delegation from the
association to call on Democratic
governor-nominee Kerr Scott at a
New Bern political rally today to
bring the association's stand on
gambling to his attention. The as
sociation voted unanimously that
all who could go might represent
it in a conference with the guber
natorial candidate.
In subsequent business, the asso
ciation also proceeded with ground
work for holding of a referendum
on beer and wine. Individual pas

Dan Walker, manager of the
Beaufort Chamber of Commerce,
strongly advocated a dairying in
dustry lot Carteret counlv in a
speech before the Mo i head City
Rotary club at the recreational
center' Thursday n'ht.
Deploring the immense ship
ments of dairy products uh;ch the
county must obtain from distant
sress nf the country, Mr. Walker
said that a dairying industry in
this area would enrich the so l and
would have the advantage of pro
viding many decentralized small
farming units.
To look toward the encourage
ment of dairy farming, the Beau
fort chamber manager advocated
the employment of an assistant
county farm agent whose duties
would be to work with farm youth,
educating and inducing them to
raise calves and pasture grasses.
The industry can succeed heie,
Mr. Walker said, because perma
nent pasture grasses are now beng
successfully raised in Carteret
county.
Introduced to the Morehead City
eroup by Robert G. Lowe, Jr., Mr.
Walker prefaced his remarks by
expressing appreciation for the
cooperation of Mr. Lowe and Dr.
John Morris, president of the
Morehead chamber, in the organi
zational efforts of the Beaufort
Chamber of Commerce.)
H. L. Joslyn, who combines
farming with his county school
work, was called upon to comment
on the dairying idea. Mr. Joslyn
said he approved the idea but that
pastures would have to be grown
here, as they do not exist exten
sively now.

Mayor Dill Orders
Hotel Manager
To 'Keep Order'
Two Women Defendants
Fined on Assault Charges
In Court Monday
Mayor C, W. Dill fined two Ne
gro women $25 ,md costs and call
ed the proprietor of the Kdgewaler
hotel to account for the large
number of disturbances oecuring
there, after the two women appear
ed in Morehead City mayor's court
yesterday for fighting at the Edge
water bar.
"Keen order at vour place or the
law will keep it." was the warning
which the mavnr hurled ;t Hark
less Wooten, a Negro proprietor ot
the hotel and bar.
If the Edgewater hotel continues
to be the scene of disturbances,
Mr. Dill threatened,' its beer li
cense mav be revoked, and if
necessary, the place will be closed.
Mr. Wooten ngrecd to comply
with the mayor's demands and
asked that a bouncer be deputized
to keep undesirable people out and
to break up fights which occur, ;
Mary Gaskill and Annetta Baker:
were each heard on charges, made
by the oter, that they assaulted
each other". The defendants testi
fied that the fight began on the '
dance floor of the Edgewater hotel
and then Shlf ted "to the kitchen
where Mr Giskill alleged. An-"
ncta Baker hurled a meat cleaver,
striking her a glancing blow on
the back.
The torn back of her coat and
a heafty meat cleaver were pre
sented as evidence.
"This is Just a case of one of you
being as deep in the marsh as the
other is in the mire," the mayor
commented, and he found both
women guilty of "fighting in a pub
lic place, disorderly conduct and
disturbing the peace." v
"The Edgewater hotel is getting
to be a sore spot." Mr. Dill stated
to the press. "A great deal Of
disturbances occur there." He
then had a policeman bring Hark
less Wooten to the court and IS'
sued the warning given above.
George Gibbs, Negro, was sen
tenced to 25 days in jail when he
was unable to pay a fine of $25 for
