The working man is the one who should say what should be done." Commissioner Hatsell, who owns his own electrical business, said the average businessman doesn't care whether "Joe" who is an employee ever gets to the, beach or not. He said he would like to see the county board take action in favor of day light saving time. In regard to the recorder's court matter, Commisioner Hatsell sug gested that investigation be made on raising the costs allowed in mayor's court. Commissioner James Rumley re marked that the initial costs in set ting up the court are too much and suggested that Franklin of the League of Municipalities be con sulted. Mayor L. W. Hassell commented that he would be in favor of the court if there were a suitable place to hold it.

He offered the chamber's co operation in backing any type of court the town deems advisable. Tides at Beaufart Bar HIGH LOW Friday, June ? 6:20 a. m. 8:47 p. n?. 12:33 a. m. 12:23 p. m.
