CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES Cartarat County's N?w?p?p?r Try Some Vinegar Teachers, in being kind, understand ing and long-suffering, have gotten ab solutely nowhere in attempting to get higher salaries (which they richly de serve) or in being relieved of boring tasks that could just as well be accom plished by a clerk. > For that reason we believe, along with Sloan Wilson, education editor of the New York Herald Tribune, that the public school teacher should "grow quills." Mr. Sloan believes that the public school teaching profession should be stripped of its many layers of foolish ??ness and that teachers should develop more independence. If this were done, he contends that teachers already in the public schools would be happier and that more intellectuals would be attracted to the teaching profession. We were speaking the other night to a principal of a school in this county who is highly incensed about the sal aries teachers are receiving. During the conversation we mentioned that teachers may have to resort to drastic measures to get more pay ? a several days' walkout by teachers may bring the apathetic public and the state legis lature to time. The Herald Tribune education editor believes that it's time public school teachers learn how to be nasty. For centuries, he says, they have earned such a repution for sweetness and self sacrifice that they "have become the greatest fall guys on the face of the earth." He suggests that they take their cues from the college professor who may not command a high salary, either, but he comroands a lot respect. The public school teachers spend half their time on miserable jobs, polic ing school halls, lunchrooms, dances, wash rooms, collecting lunch money and doing, quaveringly, everything they're told. They run to PTA meet ings. Very few have the nerve to say, "Going to that meeting is nonsense. I'm going home and read a book." This, Mr. Sloan says, discourages true teachers. He adds, "Some say it is idle to expect public school teach ers to revolt, because they would be fired. This is not necessarily so. Public school teachers have the same two assets possessed by professors: le gal tenure and strong professional as sociations. The only thing they lack is courage to use them and the required hardness of heart." In this day of teacher shortage, few will be fired. There may be trouble, at first, if teachers began to revolt against the stupid demands made on their time and patience, but strong teachers' asso ciations . backed by laws of tenure would undoubtedly win out. Beginning teachers should be expect ed to do a few housekeeping chores, but full-fledged teachers, like college professors, "would be treated as re spectfully as porcupines if they only learned how to grow quills," Mr. Sloan declares. "The result," he continues, "could be the end of the teacher shortage, a new haven for intellectuals, and schools in which the chief qualification for a job would be love of learning rather than the ability to tolerate malarky." Come Join the Parade Carteret is invited to join the "Fish Parade." The Fish Parade starts Mon day and continues through the follow ing Saturday, Nov. 3. It is a nation wide observance to honor the men who go down to the sea in ships and bring back delicious seafoods. i_~ Restaurants throughout the nation t t will serve new fish dishes, chain stores and other grocers will feature fishery specials and housewives will be invited to try new fish recipes. The Fish Parade is being sponsored by the nation's fisheries in cooperation with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Recognizing the important occasion, President Dwight D. Eisenhower says, t "To the fishing industry of America, I send greetings. Every part of your in dustry contributes its share to the na tional economy and to the nutritional well-being of our citizens. "The combined work of fishermen, processors and distributors enables this country to enjoy the widest variety of 'fish and shellfish in the world. "My congratulations go to you com mercial fishermen and to the fishing in dustry which supplies the nation with more than four and a half billion pounds of seafood every year." Next week would be an opportune time for civic organizations to schedule programs on fishing and fish products. Carteret is wealthy in its supply of fish ery experts and they have proved to ? be most cooperative in spreading the good word about fish. Fishermen themselves could present interesting programs. Too few of our folks who make their living ashore know what the commercial fisherman experiences once he leaves dock. Teachers may find an opportune time next week to discuss the fishing industry with their pupils. As for diet, fish should find its way into many a school lunchroom next week. Housewives would help to move the usual heavy fall supply of fish on the market, if they served fresh-caught fish to their families, or if they pick up an extra box or two of frozen fish when they to their grocery store. - Tha f?B6riw are America 'a oldest in dustry. Today the total annual catch is worth three and a quarter million dollars to the fisherman. Harry A. Trimm Jr., chairman of the Fish Parade, hopes that during this special annual promotion the fishing industry can up the annual per capita consumption of fish by one pound, thereby adding 165,000,000 pounds or approximately $25 million to the fish eries business. Carteret will directly benefit if that goal is realized. % For the United Nations . . . "We the peoples of the United Na tions "Determined to save succeeding gen erations from the scourge of war . . These are the opening words of the charter of the United Nations. This week was celebrated throughout the world as United Nations Week. In Po land and Hungary it was marked, co incidentally perhaps, by revolt against Russian control. In other nations there was smatter ing recognition of the week, in this the tenth year of the UN. It has existed longer than any other organization of nations of modern time and though its sessions have frequently been stormy, it has proved to be fulfilling ita pur pose. The UN can exist only with the sup port and confidence of the people of the world. Americans should realize its worth and give unstintingly of their faith, effort and prayer for its contin ued existence.

Well anyway, it was on the cool side, so Baxter had a roaring fire go ing in the fire place. Sudden ly someone hol Jcred FIRE, then buckets of water came down the chim Jerry ney.

Miss Peacock of Washington ar rived in the city Saturday night, coming here to teach the 6th grade of the school, succecding Miss Bertha Morton, resigned. Horacc Mizelle, who has been holding a position in the bank at Whitakcrs, arrived in the city this week to spend a few days after which he will go to Winston-Salem, having accepted a position in a bank in that city. An interesting program is being prepared by Miss Hattie Brinson and Mrs. E. P. Mendenhall for the occasion on Friday, Nov. 2, when the Woman's Club will plant a "Liberty Oak" on the school grounds. News was received here this week that Ira T. Long, of this city, who left a few days ago to resume his studies at the University of Virginia, has enlisted in the Medi cal Reserve Corps, and probably will see service In France soon. More than 20 tons of tomatoes have been gathered from a 12-acre patch belonging to W. P. Davis. Unless an early frost comes more than 40 tons will be gathered from the 12 acres. The tomatoes were sold to the J. H. Riggjp Co. for canning. Captain H?nry Sou'easter A younger brother was crawl ing all over hia older brother's back while Big Brother was read ing the funnies. .

They said the mullet*, big ones, were swarming in deep water thick as bees. As many as 10 or 12 mullet would leap out of the water at a time. Some tried their luck at taking them with hook and line, but that, didn't work. Finally, they got flounder gigt and were doing quite wall One follow (aid, "1 have nay time for any job when thcy's school in' up like that." Some parenta have a rough time of it. Claud Wheatly (Big Joker) says he barely got through third grade last year and now he has serious doubts about fourth. A Morehcad City attorney was talking to a Morehead City Judge. The attorney had made a request , and the young Judge, with fatherly aplomb, replied, "Yea, Harvey, son, 1 think it can be arranged." Son quietly Mowed hia stack. One of the young fellows I know was in the hospital recently. I waa calling on him and the nurse came In and stuck a thermometer in hia mouth. "What are they doing that for?" I asked. He replied, "Oh, I don't know. 1 take U out when It gets op to M." It's too bad. Many folks have had lots of pleasure fishing, eating oysters and good seafood at this fine place. All I can say is that I for one hope that these wonder ful folks can build back a bigger place. Come to think of it, we have had too many really big fires around here the last two years. Fire Chief Vernon Guthrie said, "1 trumped down on the sirene when 1 went by your place, Jerry." He's telling me. He just rolled me right out of bed at 3:30 a. in. that is. You know I have been to many a fire since I have been in More head City. Wish I had a sirene on my station wagon and one of them fancy hats to wear. Been wantin' one ever since I was 2% years old. Wonder what's happening down Atlantic way, haven't heard from Iris and Clayton Fulcher. or Mon roe and Luther Ctaskill Joe quite some time now. How about a posty card folks, just to let us know everything is all right? Big deal at the Blue Ribbon Thursday night. Twas A1 Dewey's birthday. And to put it mildly, a good time was had by all, especial ly Al. The Blue Ribbon rocked and rolled and almost busted at the scams. Smile a While Emerging from a beauty shop re splendent in a new coiffure, a wo man was confronted by a neighbor. "Why, Emma," said the neigh bor, "what did you do to your hair? It looks like a wig!" "It is a wig," Emma replied. "Well, my goodness," said the neighbor, "I'd never have known it!" A west Texan pulled up in front of Houston's Shamrock Hotel in a cruiser-length car. He fished a ten dollar bill out of his pocket and handed it to the doorman. "Take good care of the car," he said, patronizingly. 'T sure will, boss," answered the doorman. "I own one myself." Loulf Spivey Words of Inspiration You cannot buy contentment When a horse balks, the difficulty l? not in hit legs but in his head. When a human being is paralyzed by discontent, the trouble is not with the circumstance, but with his reac tion to that circumstance. One poor boy becomes a millionaire, and another stays right where he is< so unhappy over his "bad luck" that he does not make the neces sary efforts to go forward. One woman keeps so cheerful and jolly when the family income goes down that she is invited everywhere, while another mourns until her friends make her unwelcome because she has lost joy. The discontented person thinks he wants to get away from where he is to leave his poverty, his unsatisfactory position, his tiresome rela tives and friends and go somewhere else, where he is confident that he will find success, riches and admiring companions. But his intense dis like of his circumstances fills his thoughts to the exclusion of qualities which make for progress, activity, adaptability and interest outside of one's self. All the time he blames his surroundings, but it is his own mental attitude which chains him. Emerson states the case remarkably well. "Discontent," he says, "is the want of self reliance; it is infirmity of will." With confidcnce and the will to go forward, no adversity, no obstacle can continue to ob struct progress. Every trial of strength only adds to confidence, in creases determination, prepares for victory. Contentment is a quality of mind and he who has not learned it will never acquire it by merely getting a million dollars or fame, for there are always fresh causes for discontent appearing to the person who is willing to entertain any of them. The great Biblical character, Paul, who knew poverty and contempt and prison, chartered the whole road to happiness in one small sentence in his letter to the Philippians, "I have learned in whatever state I am herewith to be content."

Unknown Do You Remember? By RL'TH ROWLAND DEYO (Editor's Note: This continues the series of articles on More head City in the first half of the 20th century). About the year 1888 Mr. Fred Royal was in business with his father, Mr. Joe Royal. They were in the egret and tern business! The insatiable demands of the New York millinery trade made this quite a commercial enterprise along about that time. The egret, both male and fe male, has forty to fifty long, love ly, recurved-back nuptial plumes that develop to a delicate and ethereal quality during the breed ing season. These are the millin ers' "Aigrettes." The tern is a pretty, small bird. (I think it is what we also call a striker around here). Some have a forked tail. They are white with distinctive black, brown and pale gray markings, yellowish-orange and orange-brown bills, and red dish brown or orange legs. From May to July father, Mr. Joe, and son, Fred, with four, sometimes five other men, sailed in their wind-jammer, Sharpie, which was 50 feet long, hunting egrets and terns. They went as far away as Florida! These birds were generally abundant in salt bays, marshes and ponds, which are attractive and favorite feeding grounds. Keeping bloody wounds to a minimum, a shot gun, firing mus tard seed shot. No. 13, was used. If ever a bloody wound occurred, plaster of paris was immediately applied to cover this. Mr. Joe Royal skinned the terns, and using arsenic, cured these skins as they sailed along. Sometimes he shipped the whole skin, receiving about 60 cents. By cutting the bird in pieces and ship ping backs, breasts, and wings, he made more money.

He attended to his own af fairs ? and he definitely expected you to do the same. If you remember the old saying, "they're Joe Royal pants," you were talking about brown cordu roy pants ? pants that swished swashed. Mr. Joe Royal wore them summer and winter, along with a gray flannel shirt, lie said what would keep out the cold kept out the heat. He moved to Morchead from Diamond City, Cape Lookout, ilis father, Mr. John Royal, was the first lighthouse keeper to light the lamp at the present lighthouse there. Mr. Joe was. at one time, assistant lighthouse keeper. During the Civil War the wholo family watched, from Cape Look out. the Yankee ships creating a bottle neck at Beaufort inlet, Fort Macon. Mr. Joe was a staunch Democrat. During some presidential election he swore that he would never cut his hair again if that so-and-so Re publican won. So for years he wore his hair page-boy style, down to his shoul ders, topped with a big black hat! From the Bookshelf The Blue Dog and other Fables for the French. By Anne Bodart. Translated from French by Alice B. Toklas. Houghton Mifflin. Francoisc Sagan, 18 when she wrote her first novel, "Bonjour Tristesse," will now kindly take a back scat to make room for this Brussels lass who wrote these few "fables" when she was 14 or IS years old. or so Hiss Toklas says and so Miss Toklas believes. They appeared first, I under stand, in a newspaper in the Bel gian capital where this pretty pro digy's parents were no doubt more congenial and sympathetic with their daughter's budding talent than Mile. Sagan'i: The father is a poet and his government's cul tural attache, and the mother, a teacher and author of novels and plays. With this background, Anns looked upon the mouse, rat, cat, dog, ant, rabbit, magpie, coffeepot, carafe, cups, chandelier, the white traffic line in the pavement and the man who paints it, and finally the poet. The Jury of rats condemns tho ant to death and the mistress exe cutes him, the cat writes back to warn the dog away from the King dom of the Dead, the scholar makes the error of bestowing the gift of speech on some dumb creatures, snow turns the blue dog white and happy, and to the rabbit the poet is an assassfn. I read these perhapa a year ago in the original slim volume in French. In spite of a consistency in form and attitude hard to asso ciate with this juvenile, they had a teen-age astuteness and the play of a child's curiosity and Imagina tion. and they benefitted by the simplicity and lucidity of the na tive language. They have this now, I even think they have more, thanks to the smooth perfection of Miss Tok las' translation. ? W. 0. Rogers
