A dairy industry in Carteret
county and an assistant county
agent to promote it were advocat
ed by Dan Walker, manager of the
Beaufort Chamber of Commerce,
in a speech to Beaufort Rotarians
Tuesday night.
Stating that dairying is an in
dustry which has "some beautiful
aspects," namely no soot and no
wastes, he challenged the objec
tions of some persons that Carteret
county does not have the necessary
pasture grasses.
Pasture Brasses' are being sue.
ccssfully raised in the county and
the PMA will pay half the cost of
seeds and fertilizer for the plant
ing of such grasses, he said.
Deploring the fact that this
county annually imports and pays
for the freight shipments on 772,
000 lbs. of raw milk, Mr. Walker
called for an assistant county
agent to promote the industry.
The work of this assistant would
lx! to encourage rural youth thru
the 411 clubs to raise calves, as
well as to promote poultry and
hog raising.
What his proposals would mean
to the county, Mr. Walker said,
would be a generation of young
men growing up, self-reliant, know
ing hovy to run an industry right
at home and staying here and do
ing it.
Dr. N. T. Ennctt, speaking brief
ly after Mr. Walker's talk, remind
ed Rotarians that milk is the most
nearly perfect food available and
is practically essential to all age
groups.

minded his listeners.
He said it would be infinitely
better "if we had every person in
this county consuming at least a
quart of milk a day."
Visitors who were introduced at
the Rotary dinner at the Inlet Inn
were Dr. K: P. B, Bonner, chair
man of the county board of com
missioners; Jacob Lindsay, a Kin
ston Rotarian, and Allen Bauer, of
Morehead City.

Heated campaign activity, pre

no sign of gathering momentum
in the coming four days.
State's Itighter propaganda has
failed to find any sizeable number j

have indicated sympathy with egg

Progressive party is concerned.
This leaves the field wide open
for Truman and Dewey, figuratcly

I'll spend the rest of my life
remembering
There's no one else like you.
In 1939 Mrs. Williams wrote a
poem, "To Four Score Years and
Nearly Ten" in honor of the grand
father of D. G. Bell, Morehead
City who that year was 82, Mrs.
Williams was serving as Mr. Bell's
nurse at the time. The poem was
published in The Twin City Times.
Following are the words to one
of her more recent poems, "It
Takes a Memmie and a Daddy:"
There's a baby hand a-wavtng,
I can see him where I stand,
To his daddy he is saying.
As the. haby holds his hand
Refrain:
Please, dear daddy, do not leave
us,
Leave my mommic and I alone,
For it takes a' mommic and a
' ' daddy
. Just to make a baby's home'.
It takes a lot of loving
As moms and dads have work to
do
They mutt paint their skies to
gether To keep a baby smiling through
A daddy's stubborn pride is
broken v ,
As he gently dries the baby's
tears
The memory of the baby's Words
Will echo through the years.

Grass On Shoal
Catches Fire
The placid night sky of More
head City was set aglow Tuesday
night by a blaze of undetermined
origin on the shoal which borders
the channel south of Eighth sf.
Fire Chief Vernon Guthrie was
said to have kept the fire "under
observation," but that it did not
create a threat to the community.
NEWS-TIMES Printer Joe Smith
said that he and .MacDonald Wil
lis were speculating as to the ori
gin of the fire as they admired its
crimson glow.
Willis said that he heard that
the grass on the shoal was set fire
in order to kill off the rats which
infest the place.
Smith retorted, "Rats can swim
es good as ducks." He therefore
thought 'the ral ctermination the
ory untenable.
An "authoritative source" in the
Morehead City town hall stated his
belief that some passing fisherman
threw a cigarette butt over the side
causing the fire.
Firemen on duty at the city fire
department in Morehead, when
asked about the fire yesterday,
answered, "What fire?"

Court Docket
Totals 42 Cases
Negro Sentenced to Six
Months on Roads on As
sault with Ax Charge
An assault case and 30 traffic
law violations made up the balk
of the hearings before Judge Lam
bert Morris in recorder's court
Tuesday.
This week's docket was unusual
ly full, with 42 cases, because the
October term of superior court
prevented the regular session lust
week.
Cleveland Everett, alias Branch
Everett, was sentenced lo six
months on the roads after being
found guilty of assault on Jim
Green with an axe. Both are Ne
groes. Green appeared on the wit
ness stand with his right h;rtid
bandaged and his arm in a sling.
He said the doctor told him he
may lose three fingers.
Mollie Green, who testified that
she has lived with Jim Green for
nine years but is not legally mar
ried to him, took the stand in de
fense of Everett. Green, however,
declared that he married Mollie
Green in a Florida town In 1940.
The couple were indicted for co
habiting, and their ease was con
tinued, pending an investigation of
Green's claim that they were mar
ried. Testimony revealed that Everett
chopped Green's hand with an axe
when Green came to Everett'a
house in search of Mollie Green
and found her there. ;,
Green declared that he came lo
the'rioor of the defendant'! ho ise
and knocked but was told by Mol
lie Green, whose voice he rccog
nized from inside the house, not
to come in or he would get hurt,
Then, he declared; Everett came
through the door swinging with
his axe and struck him on the
hand.
Mollie Green and Everett, giving
substantially the same account,
testified that when Green came
lo the door and knocked, Everett
told him he could come in but not
to "bust the door down," as they
said he had done on a previous
occasion when he found them
there together.
Everett said that he struck
Green with the axe after Green
went ahead aridV'busted the door
down" anyway. Another Negro
man, who was in the house with
Everett and Mollie Green, corro
borated their account.
Robert Adams, summoned to ap
pear in court to answer three
charges, was present in the morn
ing but failed to appear in the
afternoon when his case was call
ed. He is on $200 bond and had
retained Harvey Hamilton, Jr.,
Morehead City attorney, to defend
him.
When his ease was called, Mr.
Hamilton said he could not explain
Adams' absence and' that he had

Symphony Society
Membership Drive
To Begin ft
Liitle Symphony to Appear
In Morehead City Next
Spring
The annual membership drive ol
the North Carolina Symphony so
ciety will begin in Carteret county
Monday.
Mrs. B. F. Royal, chairman of
the symphony membership com
mittee, stated that the committee
believes the local membership goal
can be attained easily in view of
the highly successful appearances
of the orchestra last season.
"Not only was last season (he
orchestra's most successful tour,"
said Mrs. Royal, "but because of
its nation wide radio performances
and out-of-state concerts, it had
taken a major step towards estab
lishing North Carolina's reputation
as 'a State of vital cultural inter
ests." The Little Symphony of the
North Carolina symphony, which
is scheduled to play in Morehead
City this spring, is a small rcpliga
of the full orchestra. Composed
of twenty-three musicians, it in
cludes the four principal choirs of
a large symphony group. Playing
to smaller towns and communities,
ii has gained a vast audience and
has a definite share in prompting
the appreciation of great music
throughout the state, especially in
the rural districts.
The work the Little Symphony Is
accomplishing with' the children of
the State is of outstanding im
portance, commented . Mrs. Royal.
Its free children's concerts are
attended by thousands. Last year
