Service Beyond the Call of Doty
. Every Christmas there are several mail carriers or postal
clerks (in the older age bracket) who drop dead during the
Christmas season because of overwork.
There are no citations or medals handed out to these men
posthumously for service beyond the line of duty, their death is
merely attributed to a "bad heart" or "overwork."
In their daily routine, working for Uncle Sam, they were car
rying out the glamorized slogan of pony express and stage coach
days, "The mail must go through."
Regardless of the number of extra clerks the postoffices add
during the December rush, the load always falls on the regulars
who know the ropes and have to correct the mistakes the novices
make or else in desperation do the work themselves.
"Do your Christmas mailing early" arc words that mean to
m.-ny people the same thing that mistletoe and holly and ever
green means. They always come with the Christmas season and
that's that.
Christmas is less than two weeks away. The holiday season
for postoffice personnel can be a merry one, too, but it depends
upon all of us.

Dear Rulh ...
Carteret cminlians will have the opportunity tomorrow night
to see a better th:in amateur play.
"Dear Ruth," a comedy that had Broadway holding its sides
for months, and later had movie audiences all over the nation
recking with laughter, will be presented at 8 o'clock tomorrow
night in the Morehead City school auditorium by the New Bern
Little theater.
Under the sponsorship of the local little theater group, this
phy comes to us, an indication of the numerous ways in which
our own group of dramatists can improve the cultural side of
life and offer (Vs a greater variety of entertainment.
Those who have seen 4 Dear Ruth," as presented by the New
Bern group, have nothing for it but highest praise. The audience
in the school auditorium at 8 o'clock tomorrow night can be assur
ed of an evening of splendid entertainment.

lost Over 100.000 Fish Today . . ."
Remember the well-known fisherman's story, the one that
always tells of the "big one" that got away?
So it seems with the pogics. We daily hear weeping and
wailing tnd gnashing of teeth over the ones that got away. To
really find out whether any fish are being caught one has to use
his eyes boats with the sideboards up, factories with the smoke
pouring out In while clouds and one's nose.
Thoughts for an open mind,..
To most men, some kind or progressive career is Important.
To be glad of- life because It gives you the chance to love and to
work and play and to look up at the stars. To be satisfied
with your possessions, but not contented with yourself until
you have made the best of them. To despise nothing in the
world except falsehood and meanness, and to fear nothing
except cowardice. To be governed by your admiration rather
than by your disgust: to covet nothing that is your neigh
bor's except his kindness of heart and gentleness of man
ners. To think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends.

Construction work is underway
on a group of small houses on the
property to the west of the Camp
Glenn school recently purchased
by F. C. Noyes of Sea Level, opera

Development. It is stated that
this concern will build some 30
houses in this development.
Alter a lapse of nearly 100 years

known as Camp Glenn, laid out a
site for a towh to be called Caro
lina City.
A large three-story hotel was
erected at about where the new
homes are now being built also a
few business places dotted the site
near the water. The place st rived
as a summer resort until Morehead
City was opened up a few years
later with the extension of the A.
& N. C. railroad to Shepards Point.
The hotel was burned before the
Union forces of the War of '61 in
vaded this section. Carolina City is
known today as one of the ghost
cities of the state.
Uncle .Sam mailed . out his
usual December greeting cards
the past week in the form of
blanks to fill out one'a income
tax. The state Department of Re
venue waa right behind Uncle
Sam for their share ef the take.
It is stated that no extension
