r C ARTERE T COU ISTTY SECOND SECTIOSI PAGES 1 TO 4 10c A Merger of THE BEAUFORT NEWS (Established 1912) and THE TWIN CITY TIMES (Established 1936) 38th YEAR NO. 52. MOREHKAD CITY, AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1948 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FBJDAYl 1 cji jH Cemetery Restoration Group Makes New Progress Report The Beaufort Cemetery Restora tion association this week released another report on progress of res toration Live Oak cemetery, Ann street. The report follows: Col, John H. Hill (17781837) is buried in old Live Oak Cemetery. Months ago the Beaufort Cemetery Restoration Association tried to find out who he was and what his military service. The answer comes: Colonel Hill was an officer in the State Militia and incidentally at one time Clerk ot Carteret Court, Coroner, and Sheriff. He was a son of Isaac and Elizabeth Hatch Hill Isaac of Carteret, Elizabeth Hatch of Craven and great grandfather of Boguc Sound citizen John Jones. Isaac's father bought the Cedar Point plantation on Bogue Sound (1040 acres) in 1765 and Isaac settled there. Colonel Hill married three times twice to daughters of Nathan and Mary Pacquenet Fuller, Han nah and Catherine, and the third time ta Abigail Ward of Newport which ties him up with many a Carteret family. Great grandson John Jones is descended from a Hill Fuller mar riage giving him a place in that distinguished line which incidental ly for the genealogically concious goes back through the Boilings (Mrs. Woodrow Wilson's forbears) to John Rolf and Pocahontas. The association is happy that the graves of this old family have been cleaned and repaired by Mr. Jones. Three of them, that of William Fuller. Nathan Fuller, Jr., and Mary Fuller Robinson, "consort of Captain Archibal Robinson," go back to the 1700's. Nathan Fuller's heydey was 150 years ago, but his name is still re garded as an important one in Car teret. A man of property, he suf fered the loss of three vessels which were confiscated by the French government in the time known as the French Spoliation. His wife was the dadghter of Mi chael Angelo Pacquenet one of the freeholders here when Carteret was formed from a part of Craven. He was a French Huguenot of Bor deau who migrated o Carteret up on the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Other more recent graves have been restored but not acknow ledged: Mrs. Cecil Taylor of Boston has had the graves of her parents, George and Mary E. Arrington, and her brother, Rev. Joseph Ar rington, repaired and cleaned. Mr. George Arrington taught many of the older citizens who were in school in the last two decades of the nineteenth century; Rev. Jo seph Arrington died while serving as pastor of Ann Street Methodist Church, and the stone over his grave once had a place in the church. W. C. Manson of Wilmington, grandson of Sailing Master J. C. Manson. U. S. Navy, War of 1812, had one of the Manson graves restored. The quaint old Duncan lot an tedating the more familiar one in the front of the graveyard was restored by G. W. Duncan. In it are graves of Capt. Thomas Dun can (D1839), his wife, Esther Dun can (D1832), his daughter, Hetty, wife of Peter Noe (D1823) and four children: Hannah, Susan, Tho mas, Jr., and Elicia. Capt. John Moore of Staten Is land has restored the grave of his grandmother. Rebecca, wife of Da vid Morse. Her home stood on the corner of Moore and Ann. Long since torn down, it is still well re membered. The Thomases who had previ ously given splendid cooperation have now erected a new stone in their lot to the memory of three children of Laura and Murray Tho mas: Pauline, Rosa Elizabeth, and Lula A.

Z. CHAPELL B 3251 Front Street . ' Beaufort last year and has recently had the stones cleaned and lots again put in excellent shape. There are odd stories in connec tion with all old graveyards. Mary A. Chadwick, "consort of Barna bas" has a stone in the Chadwick lot but lies buried elsewhere in the grave of her grandfather, Wil liam Bell (1763 1823). Mrs. Ro land Bell has recently had this stone Sarah Bell (1779-1860), E. F. Bell, and Robert W. and Sarah Chadwick, children of her grand father, Barnabas Chadwick, clean ed. Mrs. Emma Taylor Webb last week had the grave of Robert War ren Bell, son of Cicero Bell re stored and also contributed to the general fund. Mr. Wiley Taylor and members of the Hellen family this week had two stones restored that have stood for approximately a century and suffered from the ravages of time. One is that of Great Aunt G. A. E. Hellen ( 1830-.r4) Guililma Alexandrca Eliason Hellen (named for Lt. Wm. Alexander Eliason, U. S. Corps) and (hp first person to be buried from the present Ann Street Methodist Church. The other is that of Great Grandfather Isaac Hellen (1795 1847) and Sa rah "consort of Isaac Hellen" (1801-53). Isaac was a Master Ma son, probably the first superinten dent when the Methodist Sunday School was organized, represented Carteret in both the House and Senate, and not only was grand father of our present PostmasVer but himself served as Postmaster. A little grave of Mamie P. Greene has been 'repaired and cleaned by her half brother, Mr. Blythe Noe. The stone of Hettie, wife of Has ty Harker (D 1889), has been re stored by Allison Jordan another mark of the fine sentiment Beau fort colored people have shown in the project. Rent Director Stresses Law Compliance Securing strict compliance with the federal rent law is a major objective of the New Bern area rent office despite its frequent use of the term "liberalization" in con nection with the law's new provi sions for granting landlords indi vidual rent increases, it was stated today by A. U. Wilson, are"a rent .representative. "When we say our adjustment policies are now more liberal, we do not mean that we have less in terest in enforcement of the law regarding rent bonuses, tie in agreements, straight overcharges and reduction in services," he said. "While we recognize the need of many landlords for higher rents, and the need for decontrolling where the demand for housing has been reasonably met, we still urge citizens to report rent law viola tions to the rent office and we promise prompt action." "Fearful and timid tenants who withhold information of violation of the rent law weaken compliance just as much as the small minority of unscrupulous landlords who vio late it," he pointed out. Illustrating the concern of the rent office for both landlords and tenants, the rent director gave these figures: During October the New Bern area rent office acted upon 11 landlord petitions for rent increas es, granting 99 per cent of them. During the same month the of fice secured as refunds to four overcharged tenants a total of $361.06 by means of voluntary com pliance agreements with landlords. Mr. Wilson explained that this voluntary compliance procedure is followed in all reports of viola tions, with court action taken only as a last resort. Singapore to Face Unemployment Problem SINGAPORE (AP) This key British colony in the far east will, within a generation, face a grave problem of mass unemployment, says Singapore Commissioner for Labor R. P. Bingham. The coming unemployment, he says, will be due to a rapidly expanding popu lation and restricted "avenues of employment." "Even today," Bingham adds, "there are more people of employ able age in Singapore than there are jobs'." In Singapore now there are 30,000 more births than deaths each year. This results, sayi Bing ham, in about 1,000 persona each month reaching the age to work. But opportunities for employment, Uie says, so far are limited by a lack ol large industries in the colony. Overseas Parcels For Christinas MustGoByNov.lS Although the public has been informed that Christmas parcels for members of the armed forces overseas should be mailed prior to Nov. 15, 1948, there are indica tions that many persons contem plate mailing such gifts at a later dale via air parcel post with the idea of securing prompt delivery. There is no insurance of delivery prior to Christmas Day of parcels mailed after Nov. 15, according to announcement made by Headquar ters Third Army, Fort McPerson. The departments of the Army and Navy have advised that pre sent air lift capacities to the vari ous overseas areas arc being taxed to the utmost and it will not be possible to augment such facilities at this time. Hence, any appreci able increase in mailings of air par eel post to service personnel over seas would result in such matter being transported via surface means with much later date of de livery than intended by the mailer. The following instructions for Christmas parcel mailing have been announced by the Postal de partment: In order to prevent the mailing of quantities of air parcel post during the Chirstmas season which cannot be transported with existing air facilities, effective during the period November 15, 1948, to and including December 31, 1948, postal patrons tendering air parcel post matter (air parcels exceeding eight ounces in weight) addressed to Army Post offices in care of the postmasters at New York, N. Y., San Francisco, Calif., and New Orleans, La., as well as Navy Post offices in care of the Fleet Post offices at New York, N. Y. and San Francisco, Calif., shall be informed that no assur ance can be given that overseas air transportation can be provided by the armed services, and that if surface transportation must be cm ployed delivery will be delayed accordingly. During the period stated, air parcel post, addressed as indicated, will be accepted only upon the understanding by the mailer that such matter will be transported overseas by surface means unless air facilities are available at the time. CHERRY POINT NEWS O&R Holds Open House In observance of Navy Day the Overhaul and Repair department held open house, with shops and hangar areas open for public in spection by all interested persons invited to visit the activity. Ap proximately four hundred guests toured the department. Senior non-commissioned officers acted as guides, and in many cases em ployees accompanied their families and friends. Interesting displays were arranged in both the aircraft overhaul and engine overhaul buildings, featuring jet engines, aircraft instruments, and safety devies. Station Supply (USMC) Everyone has been so "busy" wondering who the future occu pant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D. C, would be that it is a wonder I have been able to glean any news. Anyhow, I did learn that a lot of our person nel attended the State Fair. Mary Kemp and Frances Huff say they had a good time, but don't think much of the side shows . . . Bettie Askea attended two days, hoping to see President Truman one day and the other 'sights" the next day . . . Rcvada Gray, Hetty Baker, and husband, and Beverly Hagan and husband, all of the Commissary, say the Fair was fine, but the traffic- wow! Ralph Wade decided his services were needed more by Uncle Sam than his need to improve his edu cation, so did not resign as was previously reported . . . Edith Brown, of the Laundry, did leave and we were sorry to have to say good-bye to her. Happy birthday to Helen Krause, Glennic Smith, Effie Conway, George Ireland, Sr., and Sarah Collins and to all the rest of you lucky pcooplc born. in November, the two-holiday month! Congratulations to John Smith and pb Butts on recent promotions! Have You Mel? Harry F. Shadle, Master, Over haul and Repair Department? Mr. Shadle, or Harry, as he is better known to his host of friends on the Station, is now on the job every day as Master in the O&R department, in charge of produc tion. From the early days when air planes were "stick and wire" and the mechanics in the Signal Corps of the Army closed their eyes when one finally left the ground, Harry has been connected with aviation and the rebuilding of air craft. From January 1929 until Jan uary 1935, he was in the Army Air Corps. He joined the Glen L. Martin company in Baltimore. Maryland, in May 1935, but upon hearing of the advantages of work ing for Uncle Sam, he joined Civil Service as an aircraft mechanic, at NAS, Norfolk. This was in March 1936 and since that date he has worked successively at NAS, Norfolk: NAS, Jacksonville; and at Cherry Point. Harry came to work in the O&U department, November 6, 1943, and has continued in this depart ment to the present date. Starl ing as an aircraft mechanic, he has woiked his way up to the highest rating in his profession In April 1948 he took a competi tive examination for the position of Master, O&R department, and passed with the highest grade of the six eligible men. lie was pro nioted to the position Oct. 4, 1948. As Master, O&R department, he is directly responsible to the Pro diution Superintendent, Major K. F. Bubier, USMC, and the O&R officer, Col. S. S. Jack, USMC, for the quantity and quality of the overhaul and modification of all aircraft and engines in the O< department. He has 1500 people under his supervision in Produc tion. To be a Master in the aviation overhaul department requires not only a practical knowledge of all the various trades connected with overhaul, but also to be a student of human nature and a diplomat in every sense of the word. He must listen to all the complaints of the individual worker, settle all dis putes, transfer personnel, serve on rating boards, work with Manage ment, and attempt to keep every one in the "factory" in a happy frame of mind. His steady advancement and se lection for this promotion by the Management of this station attests to the ability of Mr. Shadle. The efficiency of the O&R department at Cherry Point is due in a large part to his hard work during the war, his planning, and his intimate knowledge of aircraft overhaul pro cedures. Harry resides with his wife and family ut Havclock and can be reached there at any time when he is not hunting or fishing in the far reaches of Eastern North Caro lina. His hobby, after work, is (you never could guess) build ing toy airplanes for his children. A Gallant Piggy-Back Governor CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) Gov. Lester C. Hunt, attending a rodeo, noticed a pretty girl rue fully eyeing a stretch of muddy track she had to cross. He ap proached her and said a few words, to which the girl, Marjane Al bright, nodded eagerly. So the gov ernor carried her piggy-back across the mud.
