Carteret County lfews-Tiaes A Merger Ot The Beaufart 'New* (eat. 1*12) h Ike Twla City Times (est. 1(M) E EDITORIAL PACE FRIDAY. AUGUST 26, 1948 On Passage of Snrnmar . . . Fall is approaching. Light winds brin^ down yellowing leaves, ? grey hare falls comfortingly close to the earth at the horizon, and the tun stays abed a few seconds longer each morning. Youngsters flock excitingly through the stor?s, searching for big yellow pencils, notebooks, pencil boxes and other items they will tuck under their arrfis on the day school doors swing open for the first term. Announcement that relief agencies ire preparing for the September hurricane season makes us realise that another summer haa passed swiftly, leaving its golden mark of bronzed bodies, beach parties, fiahing and surf-bathing ? and leaving, too, scars of tragedy among those who have felt the swift shaft of holiday and vacation death. The mullet are Jumping, a flash of silver and ker-spltthl It won't be many weeks before the beach, all the way from Port Macon to Salter Path and beyond, will be swarming with bare footed fishermen, long nets that look like masses of gargantuan seaweed will lie on the shore, and best o? all, will come hundreds and thousands of mullet and spot. Vacationists will be leaving, and missing some of the most beautiful weeks the coast offers. Gone is the intense heat of , - summer, replaced by warm, peaceful days, cool nights, and a feel ing of serenity that July and August never know. Hunters are beginning to look to their guns, supply of shells, and regulations on the taking of wildfowl and game. Before long, the yachts from the North will start wending their way southward through the inland waterway en route to Florida for the winter season. Autumn is on its way. It's the autumn of 1949, ? season marking, too, the climax of the first fifty years of the twentieth century. Sou'easter By Captain Hrnrv I see the state is doing some litching on the north side of Front itreet extended. It will help to drain ?> lot of water off the road there u hero it lays on the curve that takes you into the new deve lopment. . Harvey Smith Is lowering the water level in his lake t<> prevent water from flowing over the road there. It's very seldom these days that anyone is laii) to rest in our old Ann Street cemetery. M r*. O. W. Richardson, descendant of one [ ' of the old families was buried there Wednesday afternoon. Say "Boo" to anyone around here after dark and they jump six feet in the air and holler lor the police. It looks as though the burglars go for anybody who works in More head, yet the only place they got any sort of money, evidently, is at Vlck Bcilemah'a. Wiley Taylor, Jr., aaya that at one time he believed the most use less thing was man's navel, now he's convinced it's an electric clock. Joe House has a new Buick and the Maxwells have a new Hudson.

WF *?. 1 I* tie alitor: I refer to the letter to the Kd-, Itor of August 19, l!M? when I lay that it is (ratifying to learn that someone is concerned about the welfare program in Carteret County. Although Mr. Wallace's comments were critical, his Inter ?*t and activity are appreciated. The rtatement that there are needy persons who have applied for Old-Age Assistance and have not received a payment is true. Actually, that was the intended emphasis of the article which he lead. We have many more ex amples similar to the one he cit v ed. Our case workers are burdened with such a tremendous load that they have little time to devote to helping people who have become depem lent regain their indepen dence. The more preventative aspects of a welfare program are not being carried out; we are leav ing untapped mapy services which should be made available to the citizens of the county. I assure you that it is not due to ? lack of interest that such conditions exist but as a result of a serious shortage of welfare per sonnel during the paat years. A concentrated effort is now being made to interpret this urgent need. ! v It wet somewhat disturbing to read, "There is a bunch working that office and it lookf like they doot care, Just so their checks eeme fcvery month." In aniwer to this let us consider what s welfare worker doea and kt is. Day in and day out, he la faced with hunger, illneaa. 0 routed living conditions, anxie ties, fear and hostilities of recip lent*. He bears the brunt o( the clients' need for the larger grants and the communities' rejection to increased appropriations. As ? college graduate, often having an additional year of specialized training in social work, he is well underpaid according to his quali fications. Yet fc> the face of all this, he Is determined to contri bute his services, energy, and spirit to a welfare program which is financially Inadequate to fulfill the constructive purposes lor which tt was founded. In closing, I would like to say that your welfare program and mine can grow and develop only as fast as the community under stands, accepts, and goes along with it. Ask yourself what yo? can do about it. Themes C. McGlaals, 8upt Carteret County Department af Public Welfare Iwdrkks Emm !? latent T?

Ehringhaus, who 1 passed away on July 31, left an ! estate of $181,415. most of which 1 wai accumulated after his term as Governor of North Carolina. Back in the twenties, the saying hereabouts was to this effect: "Our Governors usually leave of fice broken andtorake-" Hmrenr. this has certainly n?t beenjflk cue In recent years. Former (frtrn or O. Max Gardner left an estate well up into six figures, so did Angus W. McLean. J. M. Brought6n, and so will Kerr Scott unless some thing unforseen occurs between now and his passing. Senator Josiah William Bailey's ! estate ranked a little heavier than, 1 everything included, that of Ehr inghaus. Former Governor Mor rison, thsnks to a fortunate mar riage largely, will also leave his beneficiaries exceedingly well fixed. Due to the fact that attor neys, after they hare been gov ernor, can because of their prom inence and influence, command much larger fees iu their practice, Former Governor R. Gregg Cherry should be rather well fixed in another 10 years, but this isn't to Infer that he Is a pauper by any means at the present. Senator Clyde R. Hoey, It Is said, is also financially independent. So, since 1920 at least, our lead ers ? oit political bellwethers ? have done all right turning a dol lar. It also seems true that most of thein would have earned as much had they not sought and won political office. EXPECTED TOO MUCH . . . Re lieving no doubt that they would receive tremendous orders and contracts as the result of} this State's adopting the $300,000,000 read program, roadbuilders and machinery companies carried the major portion of the financial load la putting it acroas. One of the (??tractors provided Governor Scott with a plane for his speech making tours. Now they see the error of their ways. North Carolina itself, they find, will do OMifh of the road building? In fact, most of it, with Its own asacbinery. These con tracting companies and machinery firms for the past three weeks have been raising quote s ruckus, thinking this would deter Scott and the State Highway Com mi s sioil from going ahead with their plana. That leva, for the Governor which came into full fruition with the adaption of the bond issue la no more. Meantime, Scott and his highway appointees are going along aerrily with their own ideaa and seen to be paying not the least attention to the hoys in the grandataad seats. Rackuaes never sway -Korr Scott when be starts ?taring in a crtain direction. And, to quite briefly froin ope of John Charles McNeil's poems, the people "likes a man whut kin cut a shine." DEANK vs HOEY? ... Last week, about the tine you were read III here that Sen Clyde R. Hoey wovld be a hard man to boat be canaa . a f the "five percenter" ?robe which he la puahing, labor fereea slipped out the word that Coagreaamaa C. B. Deaae of the Eighth Cangrasslonal District to 0 on ita promotion list. Labor has I money to spend, make no mistake about that, helping the late J. M. Broufliton rather materially dur ing the, last two weeks of his cam paign and lending i hand to Kerr Scott at a time when he desperate ly needed it. Labor is tickled pink with Sen. Frank Graham and is looking with longing eyes in the direction of Deane, who is an ambitious man. Being an attorney, recording sec retary cf the State Baptist Con vention from 1832 to 1M7, and a member of the Board of Trustees of Wake Forest College, he would like to pick up the aupport of Broughtcn, which like Novelist Leaeock's famous character, now seems to be "riding off in all di rection." If Deane runs against Hoey, the next Congressman from the tar bulent K'ghth will no doubt be Bill Horner of Sanford, who still hss an eye on Washington. In fact, Horner may be a candidate for Congress whether Deane is or not. He barely loat out to the Rocking ham rci'dent in their last aetto. and with ? little luck might emerge triumphant should he seek agajn the office. LESS THIS YEAR ... In the event >ou think the following statement is wrong, you should get in touch with Bill Rogers, chief highway engineer, or Dr. Henry Jordan, chairman of the State Highway Commission: There will be lest road work done in North Caroliitii this yean than In 1848; and there wilt be less money spent on roads In 1948 than last year. There will be fewer miles of roads built during Roadbullder Scott's first year as Governor than daring Businessman Cherry's last year at the helm. Why? Mainly because talk does not balk! roads . . . though It does frequently lead to roadboilding. FIRE and KINDRED LINES Pan Tkal "iMdadM" Abaf U Vs!

This, plus Federal and regular funds which went to the highway department, made 1048 an outstanding road building year, and the odds are that. Dot even with an additional two hundred million available, will Scott be able to do as much in any one year as dh) Chrry in 1948. Anywoy, what this State needs is not so much road building as road improvements in the byck I HOlLYWOOP....<,fr~*fc^n ' tmrnmmit ? ? . HOLLYWOOD? Bing tYoAy's next, "Top o' the Morning," is a lightly tripping fantasy until it stumbles over its whimsy abd gets serious. Crosby fans who've bean waiting for a really corking Crosby movie will have to wait a while longer. Bing plays' an American insur ance-company investigator who goes to Ireland to recover the stolen Blarney Stone. Posing as an oil painter near Blarney Caatto, he's presently locked up as a sus pect himself. The incompetent local cop, Barry FitzgeraM, and his assistant, Hume Cronffc re lease Bing because he sings pret tily and is Irish, too. Still sleuthing about, Bing falla in k>v.j with Barry's beautiful daughter. Ann Blyth. She falla for Bing because he fulfills a local soothsayer's predictions regarding Ann's lover: The lining of hie oat is green. His voice comes from strange places (a dictating ma chine), etc. But the blarney stone absence country. Scott is determined to see this accomplished. DIDN'T WORK ... The announce ment in the papers said, very quietly, that State Board of Ed ucation Comptroller Paul Reid, Surry County native, was becom ing president of Western Carolina Teachers College. True it Is that the college wanted Reid. a good man and former superintendent of the Elizabeth City schools. But the powers that be (or used to be) around Asheviile promoted Reid for the job so they could place W. H. Plemmons of the U. of N. C. Ed. Dept. in Reid's job and thus resurrect the ill-fated Foundation Program, which he pushed last summer and during the Legisla ture as secretary of the Education Commission. Claude Gaddy, sec- 1 retary of the Baptist Council on Christian Education, was promoted by opponents of Plemmons. Gad dy lovej his present work and did not apply for the job. But the use of his name as a prospect pushed Plemmons out and brought in as a compromise C. D. Douglas, long-time, able aaaistant ! in the Department of Education. from the ledge where tourist* kiu it is vl?ittag strange misfortunes upon the countryside. Finally, in some hard-to follow runnings about a dark forest, the thief is expoaed. He seems more pitiable than de spicable. The tiroaner's singing is, a* us ual, the best thing about his pic ture though his material is rou tine. Next is the. sensitive beauty of Miss Blyth, whose toothy smile ii one of the prettiest on the screen. Fitzgerald nabs some scenes and sympathetic laughs ai the bungling cop. A, village dance it lively. Unfortunately, that's more than you tan' say for the last part of the script. And some of the brogue ia unintelligible "Slattery's Hurricane" lis pret ty exciting movie about Navy fliers ' who hunt down hurricane! at -sea so Florida cottar residents can be forewarned. Richard Widmaik. a. nice guy in "i)own to the Sea in Ships,", is a heel again. He has bis pwn private hurricane of emo tion with Linda Darnell as the storm center. Unfortunately, she is married to a Navy hurricane hunter, John Russell Patiently standing by is Veron ica Lake, who loves Widmark though be treats her meanly. I'd like to pick a quarrel with the scripters in Miss Lake's case. Hie story, at one point, lands her in the hospital. You wonder why. Turns out she's a dope addict, though the studio didn't want to say so because "the Navy lent a lot of support in making the pic ture." So you're given a flash of an unintelligible medical-diagnosis card ami left guessing. There's a lot of hair-raising fyl ing through storms, though, and enough emotional conflict to keep you interested. drnha August 24 ?
