Carteret Comity Rews?Tia?s A Merfir Of The Beaufort New* (fit. 1912) * The Twin City Time* (e??. 1*M) | EDITORIAL PACE TUESDAY, OCT. 11, 1941 ! r 5 ' !< IhlMbLw Wlthral Eakrctmtnl? We're curious to see what happens: will the Beaufort town ordinance on cleaning up trash at the rear of business houses be enforced or will things continue as they always have? About twice a year the town fathers get exercised about the Insanitary and unsightly conditions on Front street and vicinity. They order enforcement of the ordinance on keeping trash cover ed, go home from commissioners' meeting, and as far as most of us can see, that's the end of it. The board at this month's meeting authorised the purchase of Urge trash cans with swinging lids to be placed on Front street. We hope that when the cans are put in place the public will be i cognizant of their presence and make use of them. The town has always been cooperative with the county health department In the rat campaigns at the dump, and actually, if in dividual homeowners and businessmen did as much as the town in attempting create a more healthy environment, there would be no reason for complaint. Startling figures on the rat population in our country shqw that last year these rodents consumed 200 million bushels of grain. Because the average rat requires $20 a year in food and shel ter, it is only logical to assume that most Americans contribute a ' sizeable portion of their family income to the support of this pest. The $20 represents food and property loss only, and not the vast toll of lives taken by typhus, tularemia, trichinosis, and food-pois oning, just a few of the rat-borne diseases Last year typhus reach ed epidemic proportions in parts of the South and spread rapidly northward across the Ohio river. It is estimated that if basically unsanitary conditions are elim inated, the rat population will automatically be reduced by 50 per cent. For that reason, the importance of doing away with trash, or similar breeding places, cannot be over-estimated. Thoughts for an open mind ... Hate hurts the hater more than the hated.

Members of the Sunday School of the Fir^t Biptist Church of Morehead City held their first gathering in the new school build ing on Sunday, October 9. Some 400 scholars and visitors were in attendance to celebrate the oc casion. This fine brick structure, erect* ed at the rear of the home church, can rightly be called the "(Jrc-m child" of the church's pastor, Dr. John If. Bunn. It is said to be one | of the best and most complete buildings in Eastern Carolina de voted entirely to the service and advancement of Sunday School work. Consideration ha'-, been given ' to every department of the chfirch j school, to better serve it", work along religious an well as rete ntional lines. The building is so, arranged that assombly#room? are aligned each department With class rooms adjoining. .Classes for the little folks and <^lder members of the school use the ground floor, j A large gathering hall for the u e of the young people of the church is a feature on the second floor. On the ground floor a large room has been assigned for sociai gath erings, connected with r. well appointed kitchen that could bo the envy of any woman. Consideration being g'ven bv the officials of the church for the' immediate remodeling of the main church building. The plan ii to brick veneer the exterior, convert the interior into ono large audi orium, place the pulpit and choir loft along the north side wall with tho baptistry forming a sort of balcony at the back and above the pulpit.

A nil lion pounds represents 500 tens and if the fish were packed 100 oounds to e. bor It world require 10,000 boxes. W?? do not question Steve's veracity but we do call this a remark able fish story that seems to us might have been stretclicd some. While we are on the subject of news items we note one Lt.

STORY OF THE WEEK Remodeling of the old house on the c >rr.ei of 7th and Bridges ?t roots in Morehead "City, known of late years as the Can(ield house, will change one of the oldest homes in t i.i city into an apart nient house. Sboriiy after Morer.ead Cflyi was opened up by the Shepard Point Land Company thfe house was built by John Fisher Jones. Mr. Jones was the grandsen of William Fisher who at one time was the owner of Shepard 'a Point as well as vast land holdings in and around what is now Mans field. Mr. Jone's mother was Sarah Fisher, the daughter of William Fisher. After the death of her husband, to whom she was mar ried in early life, Mrs. Jones be came the wife of Rev. Bridges Arendell, spending her entire life in the old Arendell home down on the Poin^. ?Resides the son John, Mrs. Jones had a son David and a daughter Charity Jones. ^ Rev. Arendell, a Methodist preacher, was born in Franklin county. He wan first married to Rachel Ahadwick of Beaufort who lived but a short time after her marriage. Rev. Arendell is said to have been pastor of Bell's Chapel which was built before the Rev- * olutionary War. This building stood in the Morehead Bluffs sec tion about opposite the present ite of the old Villa Hotel. Church records show that Rev. Arendell took part in the great revival of 1800. He was on the Beaufort circuit at that time and was assisted in the great revival by William Compton. He it said to have been pastor of a small church, the building standing op posite the Arendell home op 5th street.
