Flim-Flammers
Gyp Woman Out
Of $165 Savings
Flim flammers were at work in '?
Morehcad City this week and !
swindled an elderly woman out j
of $165 by using the well-known j
pocket book technique.
The woman. Manda Taylor of
North 15th street, had just reach- 1
ed the edge of Morehcad City's i
business district Friday afternoon J
when she was approached by two j
Negro men who said that they had
just found $700 in a pocket book
on the side walk.
The men offered to share Uieir I
good fortune with the woman but
first said they had to go up town 1
to pay a man a bill they owed
They said they didn't wish to pay
it out of the $700 they had found
sincc that was to be shared evenly
among all three and asked her if
she had any money.
She replied that she had $165,
all of her savings, and they said
that would be enough to cover the
debt. The men were given the
money and went off to pay their
debt. As yet, they have not re
turned.
Finally the woman became
alarmed and reported her loss to
the police. By that time the men
had evidently skipped town. Her
description was that both were
tall, one had light skin, one dark
skin, and the dark skinned one
had a scar on the left side of his
face.

Auxiliary Ketch
Runs Aground
Damage to the auxiliary ketch,
Starboar'J Light, which ran aground
just south ot the Jefferson hotel
grounds Sunday afternoon, remain
ed uneMimated at presstime yes
terday.
The ketch, out of Wilmington,
Del., and en route to Miami. Kla.,
was skippered by. its owner. Albert
Bird of Wilmington, and his wife.
As they made their approach to
Morchcad City harbor instead of
passing on the port side of a chan
nel marker, they passed it on the
starboard.
Despi'e the fact that the tide
was nearly high at that time, ap
proximately 2:30 |i.m , the boat
ran aground on the shoal to the
north of the beacon. Efforts to
gun the motor and ruin the ketch
off the -hoal failed and finally a
distress signal was sent to the
Coast Gurrd station at Fort Macon.
Coast Guard efforts also proved
fruitless at that time and all at
tempts were stopped until noon
yeaterdav. At noon the Coast
Guard returned and finally man
aged to pull the craft off the shoal
and into deeper water.
The Starboard Light was then
hauled to the Morcbead City Yacht
basin for * check on damage.
Blanks for NSU
Dividends Ready
Veterans May Obtain Ap
plication Forms at Nu
merous Places in County
Good news for veterans was re
ceived yesterday when application
blanks for National Service Life
Insurance dividends were made
available throughout the county.
C. L. Beam, veterans service of
ficer, stated that all post offices
and American Legion posts in the
county now have blanks, as does
the Veterans of Foreign Wars post
in Beaufort.
In making the announcement,
Mr. Beam requested that veterans
take spec ial care in filling out the
blanks, particularly sections 1, 4, 7,
8. and 9. In section 1 he said the
name of thefveteran as it appears
j on his discharge should be printed.
Section 4 should contain the en
listed man or officer's service se
rial number and not his date of
service as some veterans have in
sorted. Both old and converted
policy numbers, if the policy has
been converted, should appear in
section 7; the veterans claim num
ber, if he has received any type of
government benefits, in section 8;
and his signature, not his printed
name, in section 9.
Mr. Beam last week had ex
pressed the belief that the blanks
would not be available here until
next month. ?

Presbyterian Pastor Decries
U.S. Trend Toward Socialism !
Russia is more open in its policy
of surrendering individual liber
ties to the goal of mass welfare
than is the United States Dr. B.
Frank Hall, former pastor of Webb1
Memorial Presbyterian church, i
Morehead City, told Morehead City
Kotarians Thursday night at their
meeting in the Fort Macon hotel
dining loom.
I)r. If all addressed Rotarians on
the difference between the East
ern philosophy of government as j
represented by Russia and her
satellite countries and the West- 1
ern concept as represented by the j
I United States.
, "In tl|c East," he said, "the gov
ernment is interested mainly in
the welfare of the group ratber
than the individual. This is the |
collectivist philosophy ? the phi- j
llosophy of the interests of the!
.collective group put ahead of in
dividual interests.
i "However, in our Western world !
the government supposedly is in
terested in th welfare of the indi- i
vidual and puts that interest above
group interest. In practice, though
we are dissolving this difference
rind now accepting the mass idea
embodied in what has recently |
been called a 'welfare state, the !
government's offering security
from the cradle to the grave."
Dr. Hall continued by saying
that we can't accept the socialistic
concept without accepting the gov
^rnment's role in the affairs of
the individual. "In other words,"
he said, "we can't have our cake
and cat it too."
"Russia has made its choice and
is frank about it," he added, "while
we are trying to ride two horses
