As related in a recent issue of the News, Mr. E.M. Howard, who is the Director of Sales of the Beaufort Realty Corporation, won the $25 prize offered by Mr. Henry K. Fort for a county slogan. Mr. Howard’s suggestion was “Carteret County, The Land of Enchanting Sports.”
Instead of keeping the prize money, Mr. Howard returned it to the Beaufort News with the request that it be used for some purpose that would be of benefit to the public. In accordance with this request, the News has turned the money over to the Beaufort Library, which is operated under the auspices of the Community Club. The money will be used to buy books and thus will contribute to the pleasure of a very considerable number of people.
