No Carteret Exiting Place
Rated Below 'B' for Quarter
No Carteret county hotel, rest
aurant, or meat market received
a grade lower than "B" for the
second quarter of this year, ac
cording to information released J
yesterday by Dr. Thomas Ennett,
county health officer. This is
the first time that Carteret has
made this excellent record during
Its many years under the state
law governing the sanitation of
such places.
Dr. Ennett remarked, concern
ing the improvement evident from
the new ratings, "Sanitation is a
way of life. It is the quality of
living that is expressed in the
clean home, the clean restaurant,
g the clean hot?1, the clean meat
I market, the clean neighborhood,
' the clean community. Being a
way of life, it must come from
within the people. It is nourished
by knowledge and grows as an
obligation and an ideal in human
4,<relatk>na.
"The sanitation of restaurants*
imn L
meal markets, and hotels is im
proving, because the public is
demanding the same cleanliness
they take pains to maintain in
their homes. Also the managers
of public eating establishments
are finding it easier to obtain help
and materials. The cooperation
of the managers of public estab
lishments in Carteret County has
been very good in raising the san
itary standards."
According to the ratings, three
dairies handling pastureixed milk
received "A" ratings, four dairies
retailing raw milk received "A"
ratings, and one dairy retailing
raw milk got a "C" rating.
Seven Beaufort eating estab
lishments were graded "A", and
eight received "B" ratings, while
in Masthead City, seventeen were
ratedvA", and like number, **B".
A complete list of sanitary rat
ings for the entire county will be
published in Tuesday's NEWS
TIMES.
Swimming and picnicking facilities at Fort Macon State
Park, recently closed to the public, will be thrown open

eloquent pleas for mercy from
the bench, one of them being that
a sentence would embarrass his
sister, and another that he didn't
"know who will cut Mrs. Derrick
son's yard while I'm in jail."
Mayor George W. Dill, Jr., sus

. ? .....
In making the announcement
Mr. Stott said that the state re
gretted having had to close the
area in the first place and the fact
that only one half of the planned
facilities are now available. He
said a certain amount of money
had been appropriated by the j
Legislature for work at the park, .
and that costs here Were twice ?
what they were at other parks, }
consequently, less work could be
done.
Now completed are the former
Marine officers club area, recent
ly turned over to the State, which
has parking space for 200 cars, i
instead of for 500 as originally !
planned, a bathhouse with dres- '
sing rooms for both men and wo- 1
men, a refreshment stand, out- i
side showers and water fountains,
outside public toilets, a super- 1
vised swimming area, and picnic I
tables enough to accomodate at

one area in an effort to ki*ep>the
entire area clean.
Mr. Stott requested the public
to give its utmost cooperation to
park employees in the matter of
parking cars. He stated that since
parking space was at a premium,
close parktng would be necessary.
He urged that as many people as
possible come in one car in order
to save parking space.
The park officials added that
probably 200 to 300 cars would
have to t>e turned away each /Sun

Policy Rates
Newport town commissioners j
heard quotations Tuesday night!
on both stock and mutual insur j
ance rates on policies insuring!
the city's fire truck and employ-'
ees, including volunteer firemen,
and liability insurance covering ,
employees doing city work.
Jimmy Alvin Willis, agent for
stock insurance companies, and {
Skinner A. Chalk, Jr., agent for
mutual insurance companies, both
of Morehead City, appeared at the
meeting, by request, and quoted
rates on various policies.
After hearing quotations by
both agents, the commissioners
appointed Mayor A. R* Craig to
look further into both types of
policies and buy the policy he be
lieved provided the best coverage
at the least cost.
At the request of the commis
sioners, John Humphrey, state
highway prison camp supervisor,
quoted rates for hauling dirt to
cover some of the town's streets!
and also for ditching the sides,
of some of the streets. It was
agreed that his workers should
do the ^necessary work and that
the town should be billed for the
work.
Fire Chief Benny Garner re
quested the town to pay the ex
penses of two delegates from the
fire department to the state fire
men's convention a t Carolina
Rcach this month. The commis
sioners agreed to reimburse the
delegates, Moses Howard and Jim

drawn up by town clerk Edith
Lockey, was accepted.

Beaufort Commissioners Appoint
Wiley Taylor, Jr Town Attorney
Wiley H. Taylor, Jr., resigned
as Beaufort town commissioner
and was appointed Beaufort town
attorney, ? and Orville Gaskill was
appointed town commissioner
subject to his acceptance, at .the
Beaufort commissioners meeting!
Monday night in Town Hall.
_ Mr. Taylor's resignation and J
appointment followed a telephone
conversation with Julius F. Dun
can, former town attorney who
was not reappointed when town
officials took office last month.
At that time Mr. Duncan request
ed that the commissioners not re
appoint him, and appoint Mr. Tay
lor in his place.
Commissioners withheld a de
cision at last month's meeting but
when Mr. Duncan failed to appear
for Monday night's meeting he
was telephoned to see if his de
cision about not wanting the jeb
stood.
"No, I wouldn't have it!" was
his reply. "Let Wiley have the ;
headaches."
Beaufort's ex town attorney as
sumed his office on February 1,
1943, and held it until June 30 I
of this year. At various times
in past years he has served both ,
the town and county in legal mat- j
ters. The commissioners voted to i
send him a letter of commenda- '
tion for his faithful service.
As soon as Mr. Duncan had in- j
dicated his Unwillingness to be
reappointed, Mr. Taylor resigned
as commissioner and was appoint
ed town attorney. At the sugges
tion of Commissioner J. O. Bar
bour, Jr., Orville Gaskill was ap
pointed to fill the vacancy left by
Mr. Taylor's resignation.
Leland Peteraon, town electri
cal wiring inspector, reported to
the commissioners on his visit to
the home of Vernon Styron, Front
street, where he investigated al
leged illegal wiring that Mr. Sty
ron ran into his house and across
the street into his fish house.
? "When I told him what 1 had
come about, ha told me," 'To H ?
with the town commissioners!
Send the clerk, send the mayor,
send the sheriff. I'll shoot them
all off my property!' " Mr. Peter
son reported.
The electrical inspector told
the commissioners that he could
1 find plenty of reasons to condemn
the wiring, but that he had been
sought out by attorney Claud
Wheatly, Jr., who told him that
since the town was not zoned,
the wiling ordinance could not be
enforced.
Mr. Peterson also stated that
Mr. Styron had pointed out the
John Parkins' sign controversy .as
precedent for running his wiring.
Several times in recent months
the commissioners have ordered
Mr. Parkins to remove his sign
from city property but at the
time of Monday night's meeting
the sign still remained in place.
The town clerk was instructed
to write Mr. Styron a letter, by
registered mail, ordering him to
remove all the unauthorized wir
ing. They instructed Chief of
Police Louis Willis to hale Mr.
Styron into court if the order is
not obeyed within a reasonable
amount of time. ?
A request was made by Ray-j
mond Ball of Harlowe that the |
town sell an old fire truck which '
has not been used for several
yea re. Mr. Ball praised the Beau
fort fire department for its one
hundred per cent assistance in
any fire alarm at Harlowe but
said if a truck could be located
at Harlowe it would be a great
help in sto'pping fires befora they
gained headway.
The commissioners' first price
made to Mr. Ball was $300 for
the truck but he proved the bet
ter trader. He explained that the
group he represented did not have
much money to spend and it would
be necessary to put a new tngine
in the truck, make body repairs,
add a tank to it, and buy new
hose.
After bearing the Harlowe rep
resentative's plee that the $300
price be halved, the commissioners
dropped their price to $200. He
again stated that his community
would appreciate any help Beau
fort could Rive it and asked for
a final reduction.
Finally, the commissioners of
fered him the truck for $175.
Mr. Ball thanked them for their
consideration and said he would
let them know of his group's de
cision within a few days.
With little discussion, the com
missioners adopted the 1946-1950
budget.
A letter from Tide Water Pow
er company was read in which the
company requested the city to
open Pine street from Fuli'ord to
Arrington streets in order that the
company might gain access to
property of which it is owner.
Commissioner Barbour stated that
the property was to be used to
dig wells to supply Beaufort's
water, and that the least the town
could do would be to cooperate
with the power company in this
necessary project. A unanimous
vote favored opening the street.
Town Clerk William Hatsell was
instructed to write the county
commissioners voicing the town
commissioners' approval of a pro
gram of dumping Beaufort's gar
bage in an area northwest of
the airport. The letter also re
quested the county's cooperation
in making the area accessible to
the town's garbage trucks.
The resignation of Roma Willis
as fire truck driver was, revealed
and Edward Brock was appointed
in hia place, subject to the fire
department's approval.
Approval was also given to hav
ing the main room in the city hall
painted. This room is the town
clArk's office.

Thousands witnessed as I
the Virginia Beach Coast
Guard surf-boat crew pulled |
away from five other con
tenders and rowed across ?
the finish line at least six
boat lenjfths ahead of the j
nearest rival to win the Jo- :
sephus Daniels Memorial
Trophy and the feature
event of yesterday's 159th )
Coast Guard birthday cele
bration.
The race was the feature !
of an afternoon of thrills,
excitement, exhibitions, and
displays of skill that would
put a circus in the back
ground. The birthday cele- j
bration was held in More
head City because the Fort
Macon crew won the trophy j
in last year's race at Hatter
as.
Second place in the suspense- j
filled race fell to the Chincoteague' j
crew, with Fort Macon's oarsmen j
following: a few feet behind. The j
race began in front of Port Ter
niinal dock, proceeded out th?
Fort Macon channel to a point
one half mile from the starting ]
line, and finished down a home j
stretch directly in front of the
<locks.
The crews were required to hold
capsize drill with the boats as
they approached the final mark
er. Most of them negotiated the
drill when they were about one j
quarter of a mile from the finish, I
but the Virginia Beach crew wait- j
ed until it was within 150 yards
of the line, pulled the quickest !
drill seen, and breezed across the |
line far in advance of the rest. ']
Following the race, the Jose
phus Daniels trophy was presented j
to the coxswain of the winning
prew by Josephus Danuls, Jr.
The afternoon's events opened ;
with an 83 foot Coast Guard vessel
simulating distress with artificial
smoke pouring from its decks. One 1
of its crew dived into the water,
apparently to escape the imitation
fire, and awaited rescue from the
skies.
The crewman's search for help {
was soon answered when a Piasec- |
ki helicopter, known as a "flying
banana, ' appeared on the scene,
circled the sailor in distress, and |
lowered a stretcher to him. He j
crawled into the metal basket and j
was hoi:;ted to the heavens, safe J
in the arms of the metal monster. j|
Next, the helicopter hovered over
the burning ship and lowered a
cable to its deck. The cable was
attached to another stretcher in
which a sick man was bundled,
and then raised to the helicopter i
which whisked away on its simu
lated errand of mercy.
The final rescue scene saw an
other man jump into the water and
await his saviors from the sky. Thii f
time a different helicopter, a Si- ]
korsky, hovered over him while it
lowered a cable with small seat
and then he was also on his way
heavenward. AH of the demonstra- ]
tions v/ere given as an Illustration
of the Coast Guard's daily missions ?
of mercy.
A B-17, Flying Fortress was next
on the program. It buzzed the as- j
sembled throng several times and !
then made a pass near the burning
ship where it dropped a bundle .
that opened to reveal a parachute
with life raft attached. It also was J
used as a means oi escape from
the ship.
A P3M Martin Mariner, one of i
the Coast Guard's largest seaplanes, I
followed with a beautiful landing ]
on the short span of water in front i
of the dock. After a brief stay J
