la Styron, performed an original
dance to Spanish music at the
weekly meeting of the Morehead
City Junior Chamber of Commerce
Monday night in the Carteret Re

a bridge from Mill Creek across
the Newport river to Crab Point

Jaycees.
The text of the proposal, which
was presented by Dr. S. W. Hat

as follows: "We, the undersigned
citizens, business men and organ
izations of Morehead City do heart
ily endorse the proposed bridge
across Newport River from the
Mill Creek section of Carteret
county to Crab Point and respect
fully urge an immediate survey
to determine the feasibility of
construction of this bridge."

ment. The presentation was made
by Bernard Leary.
Sympathies were extended to
Frank Hatton, Jaycee and adver

morning.
As a future project, the Junior

Judge Orders Them to Pay
$150 Fine Each in Re
corder's Court
Two young roen, Coy T. Wray
and Frank Dorrough, received sus
pended sentences of one year and
were placed on five years' good Be
havior on a charge of destruction
of property Tuesday morning in
recorder's court, Beaufort, before
Judge Lambert R. Morris. They
were ordered also to pay a
fine of $150, with $100 of each
fine to go to R. R. Barbour, owner
of a watermelon patch which the
two defendants damaged.
Wray and Dorrough first came
into Barbour's bad graces when
they tried to steal watermelons
Sunday but were caught, according
to evidence presented. ' The two,
angered at Barbour, returned the
next day and cut up the patch to
the extent of $200 damage, Bar
bour .said.
In gaining the conviction, Bar
bour and his counsel, Claud R.
Wheatly, Jr., brought numerous
pictures of the scene before the
court as evidence.
The defendants were also taxed
with court costs on an additional
charge of stealing watermelons.
A third youth, Sgt. Oscar T.
Montgomery, was charged with aid-1
ing and abetting in stealing of wa-!
termelons, but the case against him
was dismissed when Wray and Dor
rough said he had no part in the
act. Montgomery, who drove the
two men to the watermelon patch,
Said he did know what they were
up to.
Ia dismissing the charge, Judge
Morris advised Montgomery to
"keep better company."'
Three couples were convicted
by the court on charges of fornica
tion and adultery, with each of the
female defendants being sentenced
to six months at the house of cor
rection at - Raleigh - and each of
the male defendants fined $25.
The defendants were Virginia
Frazier and Charlie Woodberry,
Sadie Pettaway and Willie Henly,
and Lillian Cbadwick and Samuel

Promise
Raymond Ball, president of the
Carteret County Farm bureau, to
day commented on a report receiv
ed from the State Fmm Bureau
office on the s'.'idy farm bureau
leaders here have made on the
agricultural production of Euro
pean nations.
R. Flake Shaw, North Carolina's
Farm bureau executive vice presi
dent, assisted with this program
and reports that the near record
production of crops will still leave
the European people inadequately
fed. However, their grain crop is
extremely good, he commented.
Their hay crop has been harvested
and the potato crop in the seven
countries visited l.s in sufficient
quantity to meet the needs of the
people the first time in a number
of years, reported the officer.
Increased crop production these
countries depends to a great ex
tent on ability of United States
to furnish more fertilizer and
seeds, said Mr. Shaw. In view of
this situation, the committee is
of the opinion that United States
farmers can expect little relief
in some time regarding the short
age of fertilizer materials.
i ' livestock production is
wejTvnaintaioed but much oekiw
prewax level, the agriculture in
vestigaters discovered. ,Tbis is
largely due to shortages of hard
grain and other concentrates
which these countries will never
be able to produce in sufficient
quantity to supply livestock needs,
they reported. European farmers
Jiave done ah excellent job of
bringing agriculture production up
to near pre-war levels under tre
mendous handicaps, the commit
tee concluded. They said that in
visiting people of the various
countries they found their hopes,
desires, and aspirations similiar
to those of Americans. The peo
ple of these countries regard the
United States as the leading world
power and feel that the Marshall
Plan is necessary to attain Euro
pean Recovery, according to Mr.
Shaw.
The committee feels that the
recovery of the sixty million peo
ple of 'Germany is essential to the
future of world peace. There is
a tremendous' job of educating
both youth and adult not only in
guiding production into peace
time use, but educating her' peo
ple into peaceful ways of life.

Health Officer N. T. Ennett. For
the most part Dr. Ennett's recom

Dr. K. P. B. Bonner, chairman
ot the county board of commission
ers, today presented the county's
view of the Morehead City hospital
problem in a letter to THE NEWS
TIMES. Dr. Bonner stated that S. A.
Chalk, chairman of the hospital
board, and the committee which
nppciired before the county board
Monday, "gave THEIR version Of
the problem. This, Dr. Bonner as
sorted, will create a false impres
sion in the minds of the public.
In his talk to the county com
missioners Monday Mr. Chalk
slated (hut the hospital was going
deeper into debt daily by caring
for welfare patients whose bills
wc'c not covered by welfare or
county funds.
(ieorge W. Dill, Jr., mayor of
Morehead City, told the commis
sioners that Morehead City felt
as though it was bearing the brunt
hospital expense which should be
borne by the county as a whole.
Dr. Bonner's comments on the
matter appear below:
July 14, 1948
To the Editor:
In the July 14th issue of The
Nevjs-Timw, the feature article
appearing on the front page gave
an account of the appearance of
the hospital committee before the
Board of Commissioners on Mon
day last. The account, in large
type, read "Hospital Committee
Requests Increase in County
Funds." In somewhat smaller
type, a sub-heading reads "County
Charges Run Hospital Into Debt,
Group Says."
Here are the facts and the his
tory in connection with the opera
tion of the hospital: In 1938, and
for many years previous, the hos
pital was being operated at a con
siderable annual financial loss. It
was considered fair and just that
some revenue should be provided
to compensate for the charity
cases treated in the hospital; for
which up until that time the coun
ty had made no provision. To pro
vide such funds for the use of
the hospital, a bill was drawn and
enacted into law by the General
Assembly of 1939,-whereby 5 per .
cent of the gross sales of the More
bead City A. B. C. store was al
located to the use of the hospital.
Such a presentation of the primary
object for the enactment of the
law was made to the General As
sembly at the time the bill war
introduced, and was the sole rea
son for the division to the hospital-
-V-
Let us now turn to a considera
tion of the financial assistance tho
hospital has had since the passage
of this law, The hospital has been
paid approximately $125,000 in the
past nine years; or art average of
better than $13,000 per year. It ia
