"Hey, buddy," a fortune teller called, a sexy, raven-haired gal with a cigarette. I was buddy to everybody. What a happy lot in life! Of course, M you are a suck er, and so for this "Hey, Buddy" stuff you'll wake up tn the morn ins with an awful headache and an awful hole in your pocket book. I saw a crack shot take his chance at the shooting gallery. He could come close but never close enough. It could have been that the sights and smells had aged him by 30 years in 40 minutes. "Hey bud, you there," and he in dicated me with his eyes. It was a yellowshirted fellow standing behind what looked like a peanut roasting machine. Instead of pea nuts, ping-pong balls were zipping around inside the contraption. "Tell you what I'm gonna do," he said as he placed four FREE halls in my hand. He explained (I hope you can follow this) that you grab any two balls coming out of the machine. If the numbers on the balls corresponded with w'pnlng numbers on a chart of numbers, why. of course, you make a fortune. All 1 needed, he said, was to win ten points to get a handsome watch. Rall tVrabbmg Racket This was the best deal I'd seen. I grabbed two balls. My luck was good. No. 36 was good for three points. No. 42 was good for two points. I had that Hamilton watch half won. This was a lot simpler than waiting for pay day. Then I got a ball marked HP, which, the dealer said, meant the house paid. And I got four more balls FREE. I played on. No. 40 was a bonus ball and the house paid $2. That is, the yellow shirted feilow said I had $2 coming. I got another bo nus ball. Now I had $4 coming. The house doubled my money (coming) when I got No. 44. Boy I was getting rich ? $4, $8, $16, $32^fiiS12jl!NguiI had to |);iy II, I. re fo? fee balk f pickc I points make. Finally t had ? 11% fiitnts. I needed 10 points to win the watch and to pick up and call my own the S160 which was lying in front of us. But I took a look in my wallet and saw that my money was almost gone. But I thought the odds warranted it. So I slapped down $8 and caught two balls. "Sorry, pal.

I had drawn two blanks. "Onto a half point to go," he cajoled. But I was down to two bucks. The dealer raked back his $100 and put the watch back up on the ?hel?. $15 Bucks Blowed Well, I'd been taken for a suck er again, blown away almost $15, been taken by a fast talking, faster operating man-behind the gaming table. With what I had left I de cided to take in the Harlem Boogie Revue. "We got something back there we gonna give you," chanted bark er-comedian Old Broadway Jimmy as he pointed toward the tent ?n ! trance. Up the stairs I went, hand ing the heavily made-up Negress 50 cents. 1 crossed a small platform, mov ed down a few steps into a crowd ed tent. Colored spectators sat on one side, white on another. It seem ed that everyone turned simul taneously to look at me. I felt embarrassed. I sat down on an uncomfortable wooden bench and glued my eyes on the stage. Out popped nobody else but Old Broadway Jimmy sell ing boxes of candy in which he promised every purchaser would find a surprise. Two prizes, I could see, were tiny tweezers, and rayon panties. Fast-talking Jimmy managed to sell 10 packages after considerable haggling. Dark-skinned girls, in abbreviated costumes. flashed smiles for each "sport" who bought a box. This went on for 20 minutes while the perspiring audience clam ored for action. Finally the 10th box sold, Jimmy was satisfied, the show started with a bang. The tent filled with aaaaaw's and ooooow's as four can can dancers flailed their legs in the air and sang, "Daddy Let Me Play With Your Yo Yo Yo and I'll Let You Play With Mine." Anything Goes Old Jimmy sandwiched in some lurid jokes between other sensual numbers. The spectators ate it up. You heard Allelujahs with every crack. Laughs turned to sighs as "Little June" went into a combi nation song and contortion act, to the wailing strains of "The Song of India." All eyes fastened on the black-laced figure is it bounced and wiggled on the stage floor. The finale over I slunk out the tent, hoping not to bump into any of by friends. And what did I receive for the evening's "entertainment?" Real enjoyment? No. Relexation? No. Prizes or money? No. All I remember are the words of "Broadway Jimmy, selling th* can dy boxes. "If I don't have any sports in the house, let's see how many suckers I have."

BUSY BEE BILLIARD PARLOR 7 IS AmM St MOKMRAD CltT Protest Against Carnivals It is my opinion and belief that all carriivals should be banned from Carteret county, and that alt necessary and proper action should be taken by the county board of com missioners to prohibit carnivals in this county. Signed: NAME: . . . ADDRESS: Date: (Clip Out and Mail To THE NEWS-TIMES, Morehead City, N. C.) Residents Don't Want Show (Continued from page one) with County Attorney Alvah Ham ilton and that Hamilton had said that ^ carnival could be governed, and governed only partially, under an ordinance entitled "An Ordin ance Relating to Proper Excrcta Disposal." "No sanitation iaw seems to have been passed which would prevent them (carnivals) from meeting the minimum sanitary requirements," Fulcher stated ambiguously. He said that on Monday, April 16, when the Harrison show arriv ed at the Beaufort field he inter viewed Frank Harrison, owner manager. Accompanying him. Ful cher said, were Mayor L. W. Has sell and Chief of Police Louis Wil lis. With Harrison was Ed Lance, business manager of the show. Two Privies Used The show obtained use of two privies on the American Legion ground, some hundred of yards a way, Fulcher said, and also attach ed a hose to a spigot on the prop erty of Fred Norris, adjoining the carnival site. These sanitary measures, accord ing to Fulford, were satisfactory under present health department regulations. Fulford also told Mike Lucas, manager of the carnival's "grab joint," the commissary for cSrnival workers, that he could not sell food to the public other than pack aged food, nor serve anything but soft drinks. THE NEWS-TIMES learned that an attempt was made Wednesday of last week to obtain the permis sion of the health department to allow Lucas to make food for the public at his grab joint, equipped with nothing more than hose water. The health department refused the permission. Lucas sold packaged sandwiches, alleged to have been purchased | from a "bread truck" and also sold bottled drinks. When the Harrison show arrived in Morehead City yesterday morn ing it did not have privies and sent a truck back to Beaufort Snd bor rowed the two privies owned by the Beaufort American Legion. Fulford said that he would make a thorough check of the show last night and file a report this morn ing. Carteret county has a rigid or dinance governing operation of trailers and trailer camps. The ordinance is entitled "Rules and Regulations Governing the Sani tation and Operation of Trailers and Trailer Camps." The county has another ordin ance, also rigid, title of which is self-explanatory "Construction and Occupancy of Human Habitations." The carnivals can operate vir tually at will. The Morehead carnival is being sponsored "for the benefit" of the Morehead City ball club. At a meeting of the club Monday night, nothing was mentioned about spon soring a carnival. Suddenly on Thursday G. E. Sanderson inquired of a prominent Morehead City busi nessman whether the lot owned by Sanderson should be rented to the carnival. The businessman told Sanderson that it was all right and to go a head and do it. Sanderson is get ting $75 for the lot. The ball club expects to get about $200. Al Have you tried our Pizza pies?

TRY SOME TODAY All FMh Freshly Prepared Frean Freak lifnOciU THE SPAGHETTI BAR ON THE WATERFRONT MOREHEAD CITY though the carnival didn't have to get a county license in Beaufort, it had to pay $100 for a license i to show in Morehead City because of the nature of the sponsoring or ganization. Realizing that, the town of New port has banned carnivals, the town of Morehead City prohibits them within the town limits. Beau fort, however, has no ordinance to that effect. A carnival could show on the lot between Edmund Jones and Miss Mattie Duncan's house on Front St., if the lot could be rent ed. Dr. L. A. Eakin, who lives at 2700 Homes dr., and Clyde Jones went to see the county attorney Sunday about banning carnivals. Hamilton told them that he meant to draw up a bill that would keep carnivals out of this county and have it introduced in the recent session of the legislature, but he said he forgot about it. There doesn't have to be any such special law. The statute is already on the books. Public Laws of North Carolina, 1919. chapter 194, entitled "An act to authorize the board of county commissioners of any county to refuse permission to carnivals and other shows to ex hibit in such counties." Section 1 authorizes the board of commissioners to direct the sheriff to refuse to issue any li cense to carnivals. This law, per taining to Carteret county and 25 other counties specifically men tioned in the bill, was ratified March 7, 1919. When Dr. Eakin inquired Sun day of the county h?alth officer, Dr. N. T. Ennett, whether the car nival could be banned because of insanitation, Dr. Ennett referred him, he said, to the county sanitar ian. When Dr. Eakin called the county sanitarian, the sanitarian referred him to Dr. Ennett. Dr. Eakin said that the sanitar ian told bim that every time he has tried to shut up carnivals be cause of filthy and unhealthful conditions people have jumped on him and asked him what he has a gainst the fire department, the American Legion, the VFW, or any group sponsoring the carnival. Passing the Buck "Everybody I contacted Sunday passed the buck," remarked Dr. Eakin. "Dr. Bonner, however, told me that he'd like to see carnivals put out of the county. The county attorney said he was in favor of it. And I was told that Commis sioner Tilton Davis and Commis sioner Moses Howard of Newport would be in favor of it. "What we object to," he contin ued, "is the noise, the glaring lights and filth. If there's any way to stop that carnival from being there this week, we want to do it!" The Rev. L. A. Tilley, pastor of the First Methodist church, and a signer of the petition being circu lated, offered to appear before the county board Monday, May 1 with a delegation of ministers and swell the protest. Persons who have thus far sign led the petition are the following: Elouise Herring, Dr L A. Eakln, Virginia Eakin, Wilfred J. Opittek, Lois Opittek, P. R. Branch, Theima Branch, Jasper E.
