Symphony Memberships Available Now
V Yesterday the county drive for memberships in the North
Carolina Symphony Society officially opened.
Wo have the opportunity to experience so few cultural events
such as concerts, art exhibits, or literary discussions that we
should make every effort to promote the appearance of the Little
Symphony here next spring..
Purchase of a membership in the symphony society does not
entitle one to hoar only the concert presented in Morehead City,
but will admit the holder of the membership card to any concert
given in the state.
Tickets can be bought from Mrs. C. R. Whcatly, Sr., in Bead
fort, or from Mrs. B. F. Royal, Morehead City.
Little Symphony concerts arc indeed worth hearing, as past
experience has proved. x

THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
November 5 and 6 were Good
Roads Days, and all able bodied
men were urged to work on the

W. L. Paul" now made the wheels
of the press turn.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AC.O
Fishermen were striking for
higher wages. They were demand
ing $8 on the hundred thousand.
An editorial hoped that some
day a hard-surfaced road would
run from Atlantic to Stella, uniting
the eastern and western portions
of the county.
Announcement was made of the
opening of the first dairy in Car
teret county.

for caring far gold fish in the
old inverted bell near the fire
station, the boys about the sta
tion have decided to extend their
activities. Getting permission
from the city lathes, a concrete
pond has beea built on the lawn
in Iront of the City Hall. Aquatic
plants will be put in the pool
with other plants about the out

of gold fish will make the pool

Seven young men from Carteret
county enlisted for service in the
army and air forces the past week.
Enlisting for three years in the
air force are Clarence E. Willis
and Gayle B. Guthrie of Morehead
City, and William I. Loftin and
Franklin H. Morning of Beaufort.
Linwood A. Willis and Faywin
H. Huffman of Morehead City and
Bert W. Henry of Beaufort en
listed in the regular army for three
years. ,
If you did not know these boys
very well you would call them
"Bloom casters." About this time
of the year, D. G. Bell will start
telling you that "it's going to be
a long hard winter." Then if you
happen into Kib Guthrie's store
on a day when business Is a little
slow, Kib will tell you that "he
sees nothing but darkness." In
fact he keeps lights burning to
dispell the gloom. But just open
the door of Freeman Brothers'
store and you ure sure to be greet
ed by Charlie with a cherry, "Come
in. Come in."

Following the big run of food
fish the past two weeks, the shad

working out from menhaden fac
tories in this section report fair
catches during the past week.
Hauling on the beach has about
stopped for the season. One large
camp in the Salter Path section
closed down the past week.

until hrtp arrived.
Young John is the only person in
North Carolina to be awarded a

Twenty-two other brense medals

was dealing out trillions of dollars
to municipalities and various cor
porations to aid in giving work to
the unemployed of the country at
that period, a project was started
in this county, which had it been
carried through, would have' open
ed up a section of the county that
is now accessible only by water.
With the idea In mind for the
development of the Cape Lookout
section as a summer resort, and to
give Harkers Island and Core
Banks access to the outer world
by road, a company was incorpor

standard toll bridges, causeways
and roadways from Lennoxville to
