Carteret County News-Tines * A Merger Of The Beau/art New. (est. 1912) A The Twia City Time* (est. 1938) EDITORIAL PAGE , FRIDAY, JULY 16. 1949 Civilization. Regimentation, DisconsolaKon? Civilisation ? which means regimentation, is fast taoUlg te Carteret county, a section we have considered almost as an out post on the Atlantic, far removed from many of the restrictions that bind areas of dense population. No longer will Part Macon be a wild beautiful section where persons can roam or rest to their heart's content. It is a state park and the state is doing there what it is bound to do by regula tion at all state parks, but it's like putting a bridle on an un broken horse, we don't like it. And after a while, as does the apirited horse, we will become accustomed to new ways: "Place trash here," "No swimming beyond* this point," and "Picnickers please use picnicking area." It is inconceivable that crowda of a thousand or more could swim or picnic at a spot like Fort Macon without parking areas for cars, toilet facilities, and other means to accommodate them. We are gl?d the state is constructing such facilities although we do not condone the high-handed manner in which everything was shut down without any explanation the beginning ?( this month. Parks officials predict that Fort Maeon state park, in the future, will be one of the most heavily-patroniied parks in North Carolina. Individualists who wish to escape mobs will seek leas popu lated spots. Their eyes may wander to Shackleford banks. If some of the private landowners there would attempt to Improve property by planting a few trees to provide shade, It could be that in several years regular ferry service to and from the banks would be profitable. B Drink stands on the banks might flourish and Shackleford banks may become the goldmine many investors once dreamed it would be. Beaufort Jaycees, we hear, have been considering the operation of a drink stand on Sundays on Shackleford. Carteret county's facilities for recreation are endless as long as the wide sea rolls against our white beaches. Improvements at Fort Macon will *lve more persons the opportunity to enjoy our natural blessings. We are indeed, willing to share them. But our sguawks will be loud whenever we think anyone is trying to take them away. Thoughts for an open mind ... Exercise is as necessary to the mind as it is to the body. Man's mind abhors inactivity as nature does a vacuum. It must be eternally at work. Surround It with material upon which it can feed, and it's drive will he forward afid upward Cut off this supply, and you do not slacken the activity of the mind machine. It still runs as rapidly as ever, but, unable to obtain what it needs in the present, it reaches back into the billion years of the past and in the archaic finds the ma terial denied It in the present. Too often we call this latter , inaanity. Character ta a perfectly educated will. > 1 ?Jim Morrill In The Good Old Days THIRTY SEVFN YEARS AOO Bogue Sound watermelons were on the market for the first time this season. They were selling for 29 cents. The mail boat changed Its sche dule, leaving Beaufort immediate ly after the arrival of the train, but not later than 11:30 in the morning and arriving at Ocracoke at 6 that evening. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO ? Calvin Coolidge, Jr., son of the president, died at Walter Reed hospital in Washington of blood poisoning. A bond issue of (15,000 for a aehool in White Oak township was authorised by the county commis sioners. , TEN YEARS AGO Graham Duncan, Jr., was a win ner in the annual 4th of July sail races in Morehead City. A killer whale, which had been on exhibtion near the Beaufort draw bridge died. FIVE YEARS AGO A forest fire burning in the woods east of highway 70, back of Beaufort, was endangering the town. Charlie Britton's house and Mrs. John Morrison's garage, both on Ann St. extension, had caught fire from burning (parks. Tyrone Power, Lt. USMC, land ed and took off from west Beau fort airport. Letters to the Editor Sportsmanship I hav? Just bfpn informed that the President of the Tide Water League has given Newport a base kail game that was supposed to hwc been played Sunday (Weather PMMttlng) Newport knew that the ground was too wet and that the manager of the East Carteret team could not get his men together in that length of time. Maybe they knew tint was the etily way they could will but why could they not act Hit* real sports and forget it. No other team tried tt> get a game in that way even though they did' not play Saturday or Sunday. Newport's team was not on the MM Saturday to play but did i ti East Carteret ask for the game? No! Because they knew that the ground was to wet Just as the man ager of Newport team knew that their field was too wet Sunday. And I might add. just is the Presi dent of the League knew It was to wet to play anywhere In the coUa So, Mr. Resident, If you were the one that ruled on the game, why did you give the game to Newpert? Swansboro got the game the same way from Marshallberg last year and t happened to be in Swansboro that day. It had rained op to around one o'clock and when it did quit they knew that the man ager of Marshallberg team fould not get his team together and be at Swansboro (o start playing at CAlfffcET CO WIT RCWB-TDIES Carteret Cbunty't N*??iwp?r (M BfcAtJFORT NEWS (CM. 1912 THE TWIN CITY TIMES <EA.

What I am trying to convey to the officials and players of the Tide Water League is let's be a little more lenient to our fellow men even though they may be our rivals in the good - old National Pastime. Let's try to live up to j the meaning of Sportsmanship. (A SPORTSMAN IS OWE ttflO !lN ! SPORTS IS FAIR AND 1gEKE ROUS; A GOOD LOSfER AND A GRACEFUL WINNER.) Signed : A FAN Health Problems To The Editor: Captain Henry's Sou'easter col umn of Tuesday inspired these comments from a newcomer. If Beaufort and Morehead City continue to grew and continue to pour their sewage kito the Sound they'll have the same condition that Is troubling Miamians, who | have us*d Biscayne Bay as a handy sewage disposal plant. Typhoid la not the only diaease that can come from such polluted areas. Bacteriologiets now east a suspicious eye towards sewage as a breeding place of the poliomye litis bacillus. (Commonly called polio). These towns are aurely fi nancially able to build a aewage disposal plant, at a low cost when compared to the health and com fort df their citizens. ADDITION . . . They are not say ing much about it, but the N. C. Nurses Association threw racial segregation out the window the other day by admitting Negro nurses into their outfit. This was accompanied by much fanfare. Simultaneously, the Negro nur ses organization dissolved itself so as not to interfere in any way with the new order. Tke change is important at this time' in that it may be a knocking, on the gate for inclusion of Negroes in th* N. C. Education Association and In climate such as this, where disease germs and insects can mul tiply uninhabited, disposal of gar bage and trash, too, is inadequate. It appears that wastes are put out, uncovered, for that indefinite time when the garbage truck comes by. Meanwhile, insects are attracted and the neighborhood smells of spoiled food. , Finally, there 1> a fire hazard. Behind a drug store in Beaufort a great pile of papers and ice cream cartons lily for two days. A burning match or cigarette toss ed there might easily have eauaed damage to a large section of the business district. * To one who His come from a smaller community that has a sew age disposal plant, regular and frequent garbage collection, And where erery home tad business must have ah incinerator, it seems that the citizens of Beaufort and Morehekd City are flirting With trouble.

If you have been expecting tax reductions, you are in for a disappointment, accord ing to Robert L. Dotighton, chair man of the Ways and Means Com mittee in Congress. Last week he told friends in Washington that he could foresee no changes in the 'Excise Tax (on furs, cosmetics, jewelry, InggOge) or ony tax re ductions. Uncle Sam ran a deficit of near ly two billion dollars for the past fiscal year, he Reminded them, and consensus in Washington is that the financial future looks even darker unless sharp reduc tions in spending can be effected. THE UNUSUAL . . . Virtually every day something of unusual interest occurs out on the thou sands of miles of Carolina Power and Light lines. One morninf last winter, for instance, a group of CPL line men were riding to their day's task when they saw four dogs lying at the side of the road. Thinking it rather peculiar that hounds Would lie down to die to gether that way, the workers stopped and went over to investi gate. As they stooped for a closer look, ? hunter sauntered on t of the woods and related how he And his two ftiends Were dawn that way far ? dew hant Brine Ing ait data with than, they had placad two ia tba back (cat of the ear and the other f oar .

After hearing this, two of the liaeaien darted te the truck, dragged oat the palaiotors which they always carry for an emer gency, and within a hali hour the four "dead" doffs were jumping and sniffing and apparently ready for a days hunt ? thanks to Caro* Una Pewer and Light.
