Carteret County News-Times ? A Merger Of The Beaufort News (esl. 191?) & The Twin City Times (est. 1936) EDITORIAL PAGE TtlfegbAY, OCT. 17, 1950 Dh Aim: To Mrasnre Up One of the members of Carteret county's Business and Pro fessional Women's club, commonly called B&PW club, was asked the other day. "Is your organization a temperance uniort?" The B&PW club isn't a temperance unio^. Rather it is "in temperate" in that its members look with disapproval upon laws or customs that deny women the rights and privileges of partici pating in the interesting worlds of science, politics, business, gov ernment, and all vital phases of the 20th century mode of living. The Business and Professional Women's club is not a band of fanatical women who want to do something or be somebody simply because they think someone is going to tell them they can't. It is the purpose of Business and Professional Women's clubs to in still in members of their groups a pride in being able to work in telligently and effectively, thus become more valuable citizens in their communities. One of the most admirable cpntributions a woman can make is to build a home and rear healthy and happy children. But wom en's capabilities go farther than imrtnership in a home and it is around that theme thai Business and Professional Women through out the United Stales this week are observing their 23rd anni versary. "Measure up for full partnership" is their goal and purpose this year. It is their aim to "measure up" spiritually, politically, economically, as a world citizen, and to "measure up" for leader ship. Mrs. Henrietta Nixon of Sanford, president of the North Car olina Federation of Business | and Professional Women's clubs, says: I "From the lessons learned in two world wars, we know 1 that women have 'measured up for full partnership' to their responsibilities in the home, in the offiee, in the school, in the factory, and in all branches of the armed services. Because of : their share in family wage-earn ing, the standards of living in our state are higher than ever before, and production enter prises share the benefits of their consumer demand as well as the excellence of their labor. "Business ethics, sanitary standards, safety and efficiency in industry have been advanced measure op f?r fcll Mrhitrikip because women have transferred from their homes to their places of business the good housekeeping practices to which they have become accustomed. In public and political life they have be come a wholesome influence . . ? The Carteret Business and Professional Women's club is less than three years old. yet it is already beginning to make us con scious of the number of valuable businesswomen in our commun ities. Although town service organizations undertake county wide projects, this group, aside from fraternal organizations, is the only one which draws its members from all sections of Carteret. In addition to taking stands on state and national issues, the B&PW club is seeking to better local conditions. Through their efforts an air-conditioned oxygen tent was made available to More^ head City hospital, an institution used by patients from all over the county. The club is currently enwmraging women selected for jury service to accept that privilege and responsibility, it is investigat ing possibilities of establishing a free cancer detection clinic in the county, and it is working toward encouraging girls, who are high school seniors, to choose their careers carefully so that they may make the most valuable contribution toward society. B&PW clubs are a group of united women who see that there is a job for them to do and a place to make for them selves in the business and professional world. This requires "mea suring up" to the fullest in their endeavors. This they show promise of doing and thereby all of us will profit. Sou'easter By Captain Henry There's commotion in Morehead. About the bridge they're going to build over to Atlantic Beach. Seems as though it might not be where the one is now. then again, it might. Engineers were survey ing there last week. If they move the brhtee farther east it will end up In somebody's back yard, and unless they move it far enough west it will do the same thing. But nobody in Morchead Wants it farther west than it is 'cause that way it won't do Morehead any good, see? If they rtin into too much difficulty, might as well dynamite the present "inadequate structure" and build a bridge off the east end of Front Street over to Piv er's Island, then a bridge over to Inlet Island, tube under the water to FdH Macon, winding up with a special featured rocket ride from Fort Macon to Salter Path. The story of Miss Gladys Chad wlck's fur neckpiece has been told in every parlor (rom l^nnoxville to Gallant's channel. I myself have heard three different versions. For the unenlightened, the tale goet something like this: Miss Gladys hsd some rat poison put in a room upstairs because she heard some peculiar noises up there. She closed the room up and then last week after she had somewhat recovered from her re cent illness - she asked the color ed girl to go upstairs to see If the poison had done its work. The girl came down stairs and said that there were no rats around, bul Miss Gladys's fur neck piece was lying on the floor. Miss Chadwick said she had no fur neck piece up there and told the girl to go hack upstairs and bring the thing down. She did It was a possum. Dead as could be. And Miss Chadwick wants every one to please note thnt any fur neckpiece she wears In the future is no kin to possum. Never in my life have I seen any one worry and fret about elections the way Irvin Davis docs. You'd thing there hadn't been a primary and that the Republicans were set to wipe the Democrats off the face of the earth come Nov. 7. If Irvin were running all by him self, and everybody else in the world was dead, he'd still worry. But I reckon politics is like some other things. If you can't worry about it, half the fun is tak en away. Milton Lipman gets the medal for the best remark of the week. S?ys Milton: "A human being is the only animal you can skin twice." One of the goals of television experimenters is three-dimensional pic'ures. Several demonstrations of il already have been made.

Here and There Floating Down the Mississippi By F. C. Salisbury Homew rd bound after spending three most interesting days in New Orleans, sightseeing and vis iting friends. Instead of return ing by boat to Memphis, we secur ed a U-Drive-It ear to follow the picturesque River Road to Baton Rogue. Natchez and Vicksburg. The Old River Road stretches along the east bank of the river from New Orleans to Baton Rogue. The route traveled was through typical Louisiana countryside with its nu merous colorful bayous whose bord ers are lined with cypress trees and gigantic oaks, festooned with dec orative Spanish moss. Our first stop was at the famous plantation known as Oak Alice, one of the most beautiful plantation homes along the Mississippi. Elm wood-built in 1768 is said to have entertained nearly every famous New Orleans name of the 18th and 19th century. In its thick brick walls arc gun slots installed as de fense against Indians or slave up risings. At another authentic house dating from 1790 we were told that the ghost of the pirate Jean La fitte spends some time about the house, appearing at night before a fireplace, where he points a fing er at sonu tile, indicating he buried treasure there. We did not wait until night to witness his appear ing. A house called San Francisco, built in the notable 1800's is a cur ious example of "Steamboat Goth ic" architecture, that fashion that attempted to make houses resemble the steamboats plying the Miss issippi River. The entire road seemed to be lined with beautiful houses v/ith Doric columns and spacious galleries and with hwns fiUed with great oaks. We passed through many small towns that still retain signs of early settle ment. Cotton and sugar cane fields border the highway. At Baton Rogue the magnifi cent state capital dominates the city. Here the ghost of Huey Long lingers along with the history of stormy legislation. The son. Earl K. Long, fills the position held by his father. Under his administra tion the state is said to be making wonderful progress. Our first day's run brought us to Natchez for the night. We ?gain enjoyed wandering about the streets of the city for a few hours. A run of 75 miles on. Wednesday put us in Vicksburg where we spent the day and night. This city is one <^f the important commercial points in the Delta for the ship ping of the products of that sec YOUR HOME BVMS... 9 You should hove a ~ t lb) ol all ytfur furniture and other property.

Its historical background is rich in the records of the War between the States. The position of Vicksburp on the river and its rail connections made it a most important Confederate stronghold. Its capture in 1862 became the great objective of the Federal campaign. The siege of Vicksburg, lasting over fifteen months, is one of history's most chronicaled events in the War of 1861-65. Students of history, covering the wars of the p^st, are given an op portunity to cover the restored battlefield of this famous cam paign with its remains of forts, breastworks and gun replacements. The story of the campaign, siege and defense of Vicksburg is re tarded in bronze, iron, marble and granite, marking the position of the various military organizations engaged. This park is considered one of the most beautiful of all mil itary national parks. The National Cemetery is on ground occupied by Union forces during the siege. Here are buried 17,519 Union sol diers of which 12,912 are un known. At Vicksburg is located the U. S. Waterways Experiment Station This station is concerned in solv ing problems arising in the im provement of rivers and harbors over the entire country. It covers 247 acres and employs 100 gradu ate engineers. Free guide service is given over the station where are shown small-scale models of the j most famous and troublesome ' American watefrways. The last run of our motor trip on Thursday to Memphis was une ventful. We arrived in time to catch the night train for Greens boro arriving home on Sunday. For those who would enjoy a trip! In The Good Old Days THIRTY-THREE YEARS AGO A procession, headed by St. Paul's band and composed of St. Paul's school, Beaufort graded school, the Red Cross members and business men, marched to the railroad station with the third del egation ot county boys called into service.

Gibbs was named chair man of Eastern North Carolina committee for coastal defense. somewhat off the ordinary we can heartily recommend this river trip.
