. Carteret County News-Times A Mfr|fr Of Thr Beaufort News (nil. & Thr Twin City Times (rut. 1936) EDITORIAL PAGE Tl'ESO AY. Jl'NF. ?. 1910 Seventy-Four Decided Persons who voted in favor of a 10-eent tax levy for munic ipal recreation in MoreflPad City envisioning the use of the pres ent recreation center, fttuallv voted an additional expense of $5, ttO annually for the town of Morehead City. That is $5,000 over and above the S4.:UH) which probably will be received through tax ation. That amount, Sfi.OOO, will be necessary to keep the present recreation building in good repair, the cost of repairs mounting as the years pass. F.vcn then, some excuse will have to be found for maintaining that building for use by the town not solely for recreation, because stale law will not permit more than 10 cents per hundred to be spent on a recreation project. The recreation committee itself saw that the building could not be maintained on $4,300 alone, that's why they asked the town to accept the responsibility of upkeep. Hut if the recreation cen ter on Shcpard street remains, maintenance cost will have to come from somewhere. Since state law says Morehead City can spend no more than $4 300 in tax returns on recreation, Ihe only source for recreation building upkeep is race track money. Race track dividends, which in Morehead City's case, do not buy luxuries, but are used for the town's basic needs, will now. by necessity, have to go into some sort of a recreation program. I)r. Harold Meyer, of the state recreation commission, par ticularly emphasized that a municipal recreation program means recreation for the colored folks as well as the white. I)o the pro ponents of the recreation program, who undoubtedly voted for the 10-cent levy, propose to turn their recreation center on Shep ard street over to the colore ! folks several nights a week? Or do they plan to build i hall for them'.' Do they propose, with their "fabulous" sum of $4,300 to hire a colored recreation supervisor too? The Morehead City unit of the National Guard now meets at the recreation center. They hope to convince state National Guard officials that an armory should be built in Morehead City. If the National Guard has a lot ot money to spend, an armory may be built here; if not. the officers may look at the recreation center and decide that the building meets the unit's needs, then the Na tional Guard will come before the town board AGAIN and request money to improve their quarters at the recreation center in such a manner that they may retain their commission status. The National Guard is a splendi.1 asse?. It would be fine if they could get an armory built in Morehead City. Hut if they don't, the town board. (Santa Claus. that is) is going to be asked to help finance the National Guard unit. IN ADDITION to the normal needs of the "recreation" center. In theory, the proposed municipal recreation program is fine. In practice, we have serious doubts as to its possibility of success. It would Ik- tragic if a splendid municipal recreation program for Morehead City in years to come is hamstrung because of lack of funds and foresight now. Sou'easter By Captain Henry It is probable that the tremen-j. dous vote given Hugh Salter may ^ive him a fooling of over im portance. Attempts at analysis of the huge vote lie piled up. indi cate that ". . . a barber shop is a good plaee to politic." II is true that working at Jeff's probably , helped. Lots of us know On second thought - - he comes) from down east The only other down east candidates were John Smith, who is not well known oth j er lhan at Cedar Island and Atlan tic, and Julian Brown at Marshall berg, whom nobody takes too ser iously because he decides to run for county commissioner every so often. Therefore, maybe the folks de cided that if anybody has down east interests at heart, it's Hugh. We shall see. Also, he was on the right ticket. It must not be discounted, how ever, that he got his job by ap pointment and for the p; st year his name has been before the public in the newspaper time and time again, ns a county commis sioner and as an officer in ihc VFW Some folks were surprised to learn that Luther Hamilton was holding court in Wilmington the past week. They thought he was re tired in every sense of the word. But 'tain t so. A friend of a friend of mine said that superior court judges are retired, but they are subject to call at any time to hold court. Also, for that reason, if they re-enter law practice, they lose their retirement pay. This actually happened, and right here in Carteret county: A little girl was looking at a picture of a big girl in a strapless evening gown Came the obvious question, "Moth er, how do these dresses stay up?" "With stays, dear," the mother re plied. "But little girls couldn't wear them." the child observed, "because their stays are too little." The firemen aren't going to let Christmas catch them unprepared this year They have already sent out the word that used toys will be accepted at the fire station any time. They want to have plenty of time to get a big supply on hand 1-o-n-R before December 25. It's nice to see the college kids attain. You can spot 'em a mile away. Two of the young businessmen in town walked into the bank the other day, each carrying a paper cup of ice and stuff. Most of us are so accustomed to it, we hardly notice it. but I hot to a straiyjer it looks mighty silly. He might even thing that . . . In my day. what we drank was out of a container slightly too large to carry around during business hours and it wasn't bought at a drug store. Farmers Receive Bllletin On Tobacco Inseci Control Copies of the circular. Tobacco Insect Control in North Carolina, have been mailed to county tobacco growers from the farm agent's of fice. H. M. Williams, county farm agent, has requested the farmers to keep the booklet on file as a valuable reference for it pertains to control of tobacco insects in the bed and after setting in the field. Listed are the names of insects at tacking the tobacco, the recom mended poison to control the in sect. the formula or strength of poison to use and the amount need ed per acre. The farm agent said that reports by tobacco growers indicate that a considerable number are having insect troubles. Those first report ed are loss of stands by wire worms and cut worms. He added.

Every year pouf tryme.i 'ose hundreds of dollars because the flock becomes infected with fowl pox, he said. Birds of all ages are susceptible and the disease 'may occur in any season of the year. The virus is spread from one bird -to another by direct contact or by mosquitoes. The vaccination of young chickens 12 14 weeks of age with the fowl pox vaccine will give a permanent immunity. The stick method, using the web of the wing, is to be pre ferred for vaccinating young c hicks, Mr. Stinson said. "It is very simple and easy to give permanent fowl pox immunity to your future layers." he commented. You Arc A Careful Driver . . .
