By NORWOOD YOUNG
The Carteret County Chapter of

ceived its official charter pmid a
round of speeches at its bi-monthly
breakfast meeting in Holden's Rest
aurant, Beaufort, Wednesday.
Area Governor Elbert Ward, of
Goldsboro, made the presentation.
Coining a phrase used by a cer
tain TV station serving this area
Governor Ward said "Things
that happen today make history
tomorrow.' You are making his
tory today. Toastmasters is an or
ganization of fellowship. Yours
is a movement of unselfish people.
You are striving to better your
selves, and in so doing you are
helping your fellowmen better
themselves. Toastmasters offers
you information for study. Your
local club offers you a place to
practice."
"Experimenting with new ideas,"
Mr. Ward continued, "and finding
better means to put across your
points should be shared with your
fellow clubs. You are expected to
share in a work that has been go
ing on for the last 30 years."

The charter was accepted by
incoming President, J. P. Harris,
of Beaufort. Mr. Harris succeed
ed Ronald Earl Mason, also of

served as toastmaster at the meet
ing. The first formal speaker on
the program was Past President
Mason, who made his third pre
pared address as a Toastmaster.
His topic was the "importance of
attentive listening." "An attentive
audience," said Mr. Mason, "is to a
speaker what a cheer is tov an ath
lete." The speaker listed four
rules for good listening.
They are: 1 look at the speak
er; 2 ? listen to what is being said;
3 -think of the suggestions made
by the speaker; and 4 after the
address is completed take the meat
of the speech and weigh it.
Dan Walker, Beaufort town

chose as his subject. "i.\ 'men
tators and Common Takers'."
"Yesterday, today, and tomorrow
history is being made." said Walk
er. "Each of us propounds his
evaluation on the passing parade.
Yet our classification of ourselves
as evaluators and critics increases
out of all proportion with anything
imaginable. How many times last
week have you said: 'If 1 were
editor! If I were solicitor! If I were
commissioner! If I were coach!' "
Mayor Speaks
Beaufort's mayor, C. T. Lewis,
made his second formal Toastmast
ers' address: "The Dry Cleaners
Are Clothes' Best Friend." Mayor

cloth, was the beginning of a bil
lion dollar industry," said Mr. Lew
is. He explained that the cloth
looked brighter and cleaner where
the fluid was spilled. He added

increased from a $55,000,000 in

keep confined to the desired area
than were the fires which started
in the morning or middle of the
day

other than between 4 p.m. and mid
night, permits may be obtained,
without coat, at tbe following
places:
Sheriff's office, courthouse,
