a young miss has already made a

most completely perfected today.
Patricia has Ter own set of aero

TEEN AGE
TAI LER
By Gyothto johnson

With boats securely bound to their traners, and gas tanks filled to
overlooking, racing fans headed towards New Bern this morning for
the boat races which will be held there at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
The weather is ideal for this sport, but even if t wasn't, the en-
thusiasts would have gone anyway. All the ars going to New Bern
carried not only owners Of boats and contestants, but also onlookers
who always make up the crowds at any sort of entertainment. Bill
Peck, Hooper Johnson, and Walter Barnes left from here that I know
Of. and probably lots of others went for the thrills and spills of the
boat races. Some OF the fellas from here who entered are Hugh Bell,
Charlie Blake, Edgar Piner, Buck Cheatham, Buddy Wiletts, the
Abrams boys, and the Cofers. Gilbert Pickard went up to handle the
Tags, and Bill Anderson will be o the mike. OutoftoWn talent will be
displayed in the person of M. Edwards from Jacksonville, and one of
our local experts on races and drivers said that he sho' was no slow
leak! He raced here in 40. Remember? All in all, there should be
lots of excitement. and lots of mighty happy and victorious people.

 In l941 he was made Enrolment Manager for the entire state and in that position was instrumental in
