Bandmaster Explains
New Band Program
For Morehead School
By Ralph Wade
Bandmaster, Morehead City
To the parents of Morehead City
school pupils:
Band instrumental training is
available for your boy or girl
There will be classes for beginners
in addition to the regular band
class. The child who learns to
play an instrument learns discip
line, cooperation with others, and
a new way to a fuller, richer life.
An instrument automatically
places him in worthwhile school
activities: it1 gives him something
interesting, pleasurable and worth
while to do during his leisure
time.,. ;
A musical aptitude test is to be
given to the pupils, and recom
mendation for more musical acti
vity will be made to the parents of
the boys and girls rating sufficient
ly high in the test. This method
of discovering talent is proving
successful wherever it is used,
since only the children who can
recognize rhythm and pitch are
encouraged to take up the study of
an instrument. Grade S through 8
are to be tested.
An arrangement has been made
with a reliable music company to
secure instruments under a special
three months rental-trial plan.
With this rental plant you have the
privilege of returning the instru
ment at any time after three
months if the child does not "show
proper progress on the instrument.
A meeting of the parents and
pupils interested will- be announ
ced and held in the local school.
It will be possible to confer with
me, Mr.' Wsde, bandmaster, con
fining the instruments best suit
ed to your child and he will be
glad; to explain the details of the
vfM-trial plan if desired. There
will be no charge for band instruc
tion. . V-iX.yi

Dr. Harold J. Humm, director
of Puke University Marine lab
oratory, Beaufort, returned Mon
day night from Newfoundland
where he spent a month investi
gating seaweed resources of New
foundland on behalf of the New
foiindland government.
It was recently announced by
A. S. Brower, business manager
and comptroller of Duke univer
sity that Dr. Humm's process of
extracting gels from certain At
lantic coast seaweeds has been
patented, opening up vast new
commercial possibilities for use of
the product.
The gel extracted in Dr. Humm's
process forms substances called
agar of equal or greater strength
than commercial gel now used.
It is unique in that the strenf'h
of the gel can be controlled by the
concentration of the extractive and
the amount of salt used. Gels ex
tracted from other seaweeds have
the same thickness but cannot be
controlled.
Dr. Humm played a prominent
part in wartime research which
led to the obtaining of sear from
seaweed along the Carolina coast
which was needed by medical lab
oratories for bacteria cultures.
The agar factory at Beaufort, for
merly the Beaufort Chemical com
pany, was said to be the largest in
the world during the war.
The patent concerns both ends
of extracting and treating the gel
as well es the products obtained
from the gels. Dr. Humm's dis
coveries make possible production
of better quality at a cost favor
able to the present costs of pro
ducing it commercially, snd the
product obtained is purer and
stronger.
Agar has important commercial
value in a wide variety of fields.
It fs used to thirken soups add ice
cream; it is used in photography,
medicine!, cosmetics, paints, and
many other fields.

Night Monday at Recre
ation Center
Morehead City Junior Chamber
of Commerce, at' its regular Mon
day night meeting, voted to help
supported a proposed twin city
high school football team in
Morehead City high school team.
The decision was made after
Bill Flowers, chairman of the
youth welfare committee, told
members of the results of his con
fcrcncc with county school offici
als. Flowers said that the county
officials did not believe the More
head City high school had enough
boys sufficiently interested in
playing to comprise a successful
team.
Flowers had gone to the confer
ence with a list of 31 names of
boys who wanted to play football,
but seven or eight of the boys on
the list were declared ineligible
right off the bat.
Superintendent of County schools
H. L. Joslyn gave Flowers two al
ternatives if the Jaycees were set
to push this move. He said that
he would listen only to proposals
for either a six-man football team
or a twin city eleven-man team.
After both possibilities were dis
cussed at the Jaycees' meeting, the
twin city proposal was adopted
with the stipulation th.it the Beau
fort Jaycees be contacted to push
the movement in Beaufort.
The Jaycees said the team would
h" eauipped and would practice
this year, but would not become
involved in a regular schedule
until next year.
Other committee reports given
at the Monday night meeting were
presented Jy Skinner, rtialkJjire
prevention; Bernard L.vt. faSLiy

governmental affairs; Bobby Bell,

Chalk said that preparations
were being made for a big cam
paign during fire prevention week
in early October. His committee
is working on a project whereby
the Jaycees will be able to tell fire
extinguishers at low nrice with
borne nrofit to the Jaycees.
Committee chairman Leary told
that plans for being formulated for
a Jaycee-sponsored minstrel show
to given some time this fall, built
along the same lines as the suc
cessful Beaufort show presented
the year before last.
He stated also that prospects
were very good for a lighted ball
park in Morehead City next year.
The project was started too late
to have been successful this sea
son. The Monday night meeting was
ladies night for the Jaycees, who
met at the Carteret County Rec-i
reation center.
Fraud and Assault
In Recorder's Court
Charges and counter charges
were heard in recorder s court
Tuesday as state's witnesses took
the stand first to accuse and later
to defend themselves in two re
lated cases.
Harold Comerford, 17, New York
City, who has been visiting friends
in Beaufort this summer, was tried
on charges that he fraudulently
obtained $40 for n $20 check from
Andrew L. Davis, proprietor of the
Brordway Cafe in Morehead City,
Davis testified as prosecuting wit
ness against Comerford in this
case.
Davis was then the defendant
in a case in which he was charged
with assaulting a minor (Comer
ford) by, "slapping him in the
face with his hands." Comerford
was heard as prosecuting witness
on this charge. ,
In the fraud case, Comerford
was bound over to superior court
for another trial with bond set at
$300. Davis was found guilty of
the assault charge, fined $10 and

Confronts
Who owns the strip of water
front land south of Front street,
Beaufort, and east of Live Oak
street to the town limits?
Nobody knows. This startling fact
came to light at the Beaufort town
commissioners meeting Monday
night in the town hall when John
Parkin requested the commission
er's permission to operate a fish
market he has built on waterfront
property between Live Oak and
Gordon streets.
It was the tentative opinion of
J. F. Duncan, town attorney, that
the property belongs to the town.
William Hatsell, town clerk, re
ported that property owners east
Of Live Oak street pay taxes only
on the land north of Front street.
Parkin was directed by the com
missioncrs to establish wonership
of the land on which he has erect
ed his building before applying for
a fish market permit.
The 65 Club, owned and opera
ted in Beaufort by Boh Smith, was
ordered closed until Smith secures
a beer and wine license. The club
was the scene of a shooting Sat
urday night.
The town board granted West
ern Union Telegraph company per
mission to place a pole at Front
and Craven streets. On t ho pole
will be placed a sign pointing to
the location of the Western Union
office on Craven street.
It was reported that J. B. Moore,
state jail inspector, recommended
that a door bC placed at the rear
of the town jail as a precaution in
case of fire. Because only one
bid has been received on the old
town police car, the hoard gave
the street superintendent, Clyde
Peterson, permission to use it un
til it definitely decided what
shall be done with it.

mouth Court
Charges have been withdrawn
against C. Gehrmann Holland,
sheriff of Carteret county, who was
named last month as a defendant
in a $50,000 civil suit by a former
employee of Madix Roofing cor
poration. This employee, Gradv Ward
Price, now living at Plymouth
charged that Sheriff Holland with
officials of the Madix plant, caus
ed him to flee Carteret county in
order to protect himself and his
family.
A temporary restraining order
against the sheriff and Madix men
was dissolved Sept. 3 at a hearing
in Nashville, by Judge Walter J.
Bone.
The restraining order was ijs""d
to prevent the sheriff and Madix
officials from repeating the ac
tions Price alleged in his com
plaint.
The civil suit against C. C. Brew
in, president of Madix Asphalt
Roofing corporation, W. C. Carl
ton, purchasing director of Madix,
and Glenn Rose and Ed Parker,
nlant superintendents, is scheduled
for trial at Plymouth in Washing
ton .county during the October
term of superior court which be
gins Oct. 25.
The plaintiff is asking $25,000
in compensatory damages and $25.
000 punitive damages. He charges
that the Madix officials for whom
he worked asked him to leave the
latter part of July after he circu
lated union cards of the1 Interna
tional Brotherhood of Pulp, Sul
phite, and Paper Mill Workers, an
AFL affiliate.
When Mr. Price did not move
with his wife and child from Car

employers threatened and intimi
dated him, damaged his trailer and
burned his car.

Ninety-two years of fruitful liv
ing and 67 1-2 years of happy mar
ried life were ended when "Pa"
died quietly at his home on Ann
st Beaufort, Monday night at
8:15.
His physician. Pr. Laurie Moore,
had pronounced "nothing organic
ally wrong" with him one week be
fore his 92nd birthday. Those at
his bedside said his mind was clear
one hour before death, due to old
age, claimed him.
"Pa" Taylor operated the only
wholesale grocery store this side
of New Bern for 25-30 years, and
it was said of him that "anyone
who needed anything got it wheth
er they had the money to pay or
not." People from Beaufort to
Cedar Island thought of him as
their benefactor.
His son recalled that h refused
lo sell a barrel of flour which cott
him 4 for more than $4.25, allow
ing himself only 25 cents for profit
and overhead deductions. Twenty
five cents profit was all lie asked
on a pair of shoes.
He was in the mercantile busi
ness from the age of 0, when he
began helping in his father's store,
until he retired at 70.
Shortly after 1888, Mr. Taylor
partitioned off one of his store
buildings and started the first
bank that Carteret county ever
had. It was called the Bank of
Beaufort. "Pa" was the banker.
The bank moved after one year
to the building now occupied by
Rumley's Feed Store on Front
street, and "Pa" was president. He
later formed and was president of
the Beaufort Banking and Trust
co.. the predecessor of the First
Citizens Bank and Trust co.
He started out as a merchant,
operating his father's old store at
the present location of Davis Bros.
After the big fire in 1888, he built
two brick buildings across the
street, forming the Beaufort Groc
ery co. in one and a general store
in the other. One of these build
ings is now occupied by the Beau
fort Hardware co., the other by
Jeff's barber shop.
In addition to his Beaufort mer
cantile interests, he owned the
oyster factory, shipped clams and
mullets and was president of the
Armstrong Grocery co. in New
Bern. He formed the first mail

Hurricane or Not, li

Evidence of some of the not too
accurate stories distributed during
the recent hurricane scare here
was . received recently by Jesse

paper clippings were sent him by
friends in Philadelphia, and Me

"Mayor George-Dill said sum

but only a few guests remained."
In a recent release from the
