U. M .
American business has no more
inspiring personality than Roger
W. Babson, internationally-known
business commentator and invest
ment adviser. An outstanding fea
ture of his philosophy has been
his life-long insistence on the im
portance of religion in business.
The Carteret County NEWS
TIMES will publish Roger W. Bab
son's Business and Financial Out
look for 1950 during the .week fol
lowing Christmas.
Readers Deserve Best
We bring this article to your at
tention because our readers de
serve uie Desi.
Consequently, be.
cause of Mr. Bab
son's outstanding
record for accur
acy in his annual
forecasts ? an
average of 87 per
cent for the past
14 years ? we
are publishing
ikl. t..l _ 4. ?
una icniuic iu M|ir *?. dhin
give you a preview of business and
finance in 1950.
Mr. Babson's 1950 Outlook will
contain 50 Forecasts covering such
important topics as : general busi
ness, commodity prices, taxes, re
tail and foreign trade, labor, defi
cit financing, farm outlook, stock
market, real estate, politics.
Born in 1875, reared in an old
fashioned atmosphere of hard
work and hustle on a farm in
Gloucester. Mr. Babson went to the
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology. Upon graduating in 1898.
he turned instinctively to financial
and business activities.
Health Undermined
His exertions, however, under
mined his health; he contracted
tuberculosis and he was sent West
"as good as dead!" It was while
he was convalescing from this
dread malady that he worked out
some of the possibilities and prob
lems of business statistics.
That was more than forty-five
years ago. Today his weekly sta
tistical and financial reports are
read by thousands of businessmen
and his research work is carried
on by a large staff of workers.
FmhM Institute
Mr. Babson founded Bahson In
stitute formen; and, in cooper
tion with Mrs. Babson, developed
Webber College for women, ? bath
nationally-known educational in
stitutions. Here young men and
women may concentrate more in
the fundamentals and less on the
frills of business.
More recently he founded "Uto
pia College" for men, located in
Eureka, Kansas, the center of Mr.
Babson's "Magic Circle." He is
also reviving an interest in Sir
Thomas More who 400 years ago -
outlined his "Utopia" the only so
lution to our problems. Only this
year he has been active in the es
tablishment of still another med
ium of service to the public, the
Gravity Research Foundation, lo
cated at New Boston, New Hamp
shire.
To millions of newspaper read
ers, Mr. Babson is best known by
his familiar weekly stories on
business which appear in more
than 420 papers throughout North
America. Of unbounded energy,
Roger W. Babson has probably
done more than any other man to
bring statistics to life, to instill a
broader vision in businessmen, and
to publicize the ups-and-downs of
the business cycle.
Fanners Favor Quotas
Carteret county fanners voted
overwhelmingly in favor of con
tinuing cotton quotas for 1950 in
an 'election held throughout the
county Thursday. Local farmers
voted 58-1 in favor of quotas, an
average even higher than the na
tional record of 9-1 in favor of
quotas.
First Coast Guard Station
Was Built IVearMorehead City
By Aycock Brown
Co?st Guard aviation which has
a role in the 46th anniversary of
the birth of flight at Kitty Hewk
Saturday, had its beginning at
Morehead City. The first Coast
Guard Air station ever built, was
located here and as a result this
Carteret port city is generally
credited as being the place where
this peacetime flying branch of
the Treasury Department "sprout
ed its wings."
Aviation came to the Coast
Guard shortly after the Revenue'
Service, the old Life Saving Serv
ice and the Light House Service
were Aerged.
Except for World War I, the air
station, which was located at Camp
Glenn, may have been built earlier.
Congress appropriated monies for
10 air stations for the coast guard
back la MM while there was still
some question as to whether the
United States would become in
volved in the war that bad started
in Europe in 10M.
r. k . .
A group of Coast Guard officers
were sent to the Naval Air' Sta
tion at Pcnsacola to take flight
training. Before they finished
their course, however, the United
States was in the war. They saw
combat duty with the Naval avia
tors during the war and the au
thorization to build air stations for
this peacetime service which be
comes part of the Navy during time
of war was delayed.
It wis not until 1B20 that the
first Coast Guard Air Station was
fnially built. It was located at
what was then national guard's
Camp Glenn where the University
of the Sea, Institute of Fisheries
Research and N. C. Fisheries com
mission headquarters are located
today in buildings that served as
a naval MCtion base during World
War II
For lack of appropriations this
first air station, of a service that
has become famous for its air-sea
rescue activities, was decommis
sioned after one year of operation.
Jack Britton, Colored Laborer, Dies in Flames
42 Per Cent Of
TB Seal Sale
Quota Reached
Mrs. W. I. Loftin, Secre
tary - Treasurer, Reports
$1,276.05 on Saturday
Forty-two per cent of the coun
ty Christmas seal sale quota had
been met by Staurday, Mrs. W. I.
Loftin, executive secretary-treas
urer of the county tuberculosis
chapter reported.
The goal is $3,000 and by Sat
urday $1,276.05 had been receiv
ed. Reminders will be sent by
mail this week and after Christ
mas to persons who have hot yet
contributed, Mrs. Loftin said. Con
tributions will be accepted, how
ever, throughout the year.
Design Wins Prize
The design of the 1949 Christ
mas Seal, featuring a modernistic
interpretation of. a dove in flight
and traditional Christmas holly,
won a $1.00 first prize in a na
tionwide contest sponsored by the
Society of Illustrators, a national
organization of outstanding ar
tists, illustrators, and art direc
tors, with headquarters in New
York City.
"The original of the seal was
drawn by a youthful Gcrman-bori
artist named Herbert Meyers,"
Stanley Woodland, president of the
county chapter, explained. "A
recent graduate of Pratt Institute
in New York City, Mr. Meyers is
using the prize money for addi
tional training in his chosen field
I of commercial art and for art
equipment.
"With the consent of the Nation
al Tuberculosis association and its
3,000 affiliates, the Society of Il
lustrators included the design for
a Christmas Seal as a subject for
its competition," Mr. Woodland
said. "Members of th?* tki'itty
pi Illustrators who served as
judges chose Jkfr. Meyers' drawing
among 50 si&mittefl by students
of art schools throughout the
country as best in design and ex
ecution.
Committee Sel?*ts Dove
"When the committee which
selects the Seal for the tubercu
losis association met to choose the
1949 Christmas Seal, it enthusias
tically vof?d to use Mr. Meyers'
design."
The artist, a resident of Lconia,
N. J., was born in Wiesbaden, Ger
many 27 years ago of an American
father and a German mother. In
his native country he attended the
gymnasium, where art training is
compulsory and where, at an early
age, he showed talent for drawing
and designing.
Artist Washed Dishes
"When Herbert Meyers came to
America nine years ago, his main
ambition was to earn an American
high school diploma," Mr. Wood
land relates. "In order to do this,
he took a job? his first in Ameri
ca ? as a dishwasher iy the- day
time and went to school at night.
"Scarcely had he graduated
from high school when he entered
the U. S. Army and saw three
years of action in England, Ger
many, France, Belgium, Austria,
and Italy."
Before the 1949 Seal Sale closes
on Dec. 25, officials in charge
hope . to realize their quota of
$3,000, the minimum needed to,,
carry on the tuberculosis preven
tion and control work of the Car
teret County Tuberculosis associa
tion during 1950.

as much liquor. He has frequently
said that liquor sales follow the
trend of other business.

have greetings for distant friends,
use air mail. A 6 cent stamp will
assure delivery within 48 hours to
any point within the U. S., the
postmaster said.
Meanwhile, local mail carriers
are massaging their bunions and
soaking their feet in cpsom salts.
They're preparing for "I.inament
Week" the hestic days immedi

deliver sack after sack of heavy
mail across endless miles of hard
sidewalk.
