S CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES *. , A Merger of THE BEAUFOftT NEWS (E?teblUl?4 1M2) and THE TWIN CITY TIMES (E*UblUh?d 1936) - . 39th YEAR, NO. 6 THREE SECTIONS? EIGHTEEN PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT. NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1950 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS Town Commissioners Consider Revision Of Morehead City's Fire Defenses Some drastic changes will have to be made in Morehead City's fire defense system or else cer tain fire insurance rates in the city limits will go up, Mayor George W. Dill told Morehead City commissioners at their meeting Tuesday night in newly-decorated board rooms in the municipal building. Mayor Dill said he had received a letter from the State Board of Fire Underwriters asserting that if certain recommendations the board had made were not carried out some local fire insurance rates would be increased. Two Stations Among recommendations made, the mayor said, is establishment of a second fire station with two full-time firemen in the western section of the city. This would double the number of fire men in the city's employ. Instead, it was pointed out, it would be better to establish one station in the center of the city which would serve both the down town section and the section west. It was sugested that the block where the Carteret Recreational Center is now located might be satisfactory for such a location. The idea of purchasing an aux iliary truck to be located near the Atlantic Beach bridge was also mentioned. E. C. Willis has a 500-gallon booster tank truck he has offered the town for $2,500, the board was told. Action on these proposals was withheld un til members of the board had more time to consider them. Power Company 'Attacked' Tide Water Power company came in for some heated words. Cause of the discussion was a re cent increase in the town's street lighting bill from $142 one month to $684 the next. The following' month the bill dropped to $503.41. George Stovall, manager here for the power company, explained the new street lighting system was cut on Oct. 21 and from that date the bill went up. He said the bill would be ex actly $503.41 each month unless more lights were added to the present system. The reason the bill had been as low as $142 for so long, he said, was that the street lighting system had been continu ally deteriorating since 1B42 and no improvements had been made. He cited lighting bills in 1B40 and 1941 that averaged around $600 and said this period should be used as an accurate guide to the average cost of adequate lighting. City Clerk John Lashley was empowered to make a survey of street lights and relocate any he felt were not needed in their present locations. Clyde Jones Appears Clyde Jones appeared at the meeting on behalf of the More head City Chamber of Commerce to ask the city'i assistance in hav ing the draw span on the Atlan tic Beach bridge improved. Jones said highway official* stated that the span was danger ous in its present state, Citing the necessity for lowering the gaes at one end of the draw when a school bus passed over since the draw was too narrow for the bus and any other vehicle to pass. The board agreed to write Guy Har gctt, highway commissioner for this district, asking action on the matter. Dog Track Receipts George McNeill, town attorney, reminded the board of an agree ment it entered into late last sum mer. He said that when the Morehead City Racing commis sion requested an extension of the regular racing season at the dbg track last fall, extension was re quested on the basis that one-half of the town's receipts from the extended season be used to allevi ate the crowded condition at More head City school. The town agreed to this arrangement, be said. However, McNeill pointed out, there is no legal way in which the town can turn oirtr this money to the schools or the parent See TOWN BOARD, Page Three Ohio rim Btpairs Two DmmI Engines it MCT1 Two Diesel engines at the More head City Technical Institute are being remodeled and repaired at no cost to the institute.

At the request of the official board of the church, the Rev. T. R. Jenkins, pastor, will preach the dedicatory sermon and perform the ritual of dedication. Chimes Presented The chimes were presented to the church last summer by Mr. and Mrs. Henry D. Hatsell of Norfolk, Va., in memory of their parents who were former mem bers of Ann Street church. "They have proved an inspira? tion to the members and a spir itual blessing to the entire com munity," declares the pastor. "When they play, passers-by take up the refrain, lemming the tunes which resound over the com munity in solid, clear tones. No doubt, they have brought comfort to worried minds, joy to needy hearts, and inspiration to conse crated souls. We are grateful for the gift and the thoughtful people who gave them," he added. N. F. Eure Initiates Project Some 18 months ago, the church, seeing the need for additional fa cilities for carry on its work, erected the new educational build ing. The idea was first conceived by the general superintendent of the church school, N. F. Eure, and largely by his efforts, the idea became a reality, Mr. Jenkins re lates. "What the building has meant to the church, particularly the youth, no one will ever be able to estimate," the pastor continues. "At the same time, 'we had in our midst a godly woman whose influ ence over little children only the years can determine. "Seeking for some time an ap propriate way UJionor Miss Lottie Sanders, the official board almost at once hit upon the idea of nam ing this new building^ after her and in her honor," he' concluded. All friends of the church are in vited to the dedicatory services next Sunday. Director Arrives To Woirk on Play Legion Will Give Proceeds From 'It's a Dale' Will Go Toward Junior Baseball Miss Maryjanc Steele arrived this week to start work on "It's a Date," the big show which will be presented Feb. 2 and 3 at the Morehead City high school audi torium for the benefit of the Jun ior Baseball program. Miss Steele comes to Morehead City highly recommended. She holds a degree from Indiana uni versity and has been interested in dramatics and Little Theatre work. In addition, she has had special training on this particular produc tion. When interviewed about the forthcoming production Miss Steele said: "I am most enthusi astic about the possibilities for an outstanding show here in More head City. Everyone seems so friendly and cooperative, I am surely enjoying my stay here." Miss Steele met Tuesday night with Walton Fulcher, post com mander; Martin Beaver, Will How land and Joseph Smith who are the entertainment committee of the Legion which is sponsoring the play.

The organization ,is confident that it will be a worthy addition to the entertainment season. Watch this paper for further announcements about those who have been chosen to take part in "It's a Date." Fishermen , Scientists Confer Prior to Sailing of Albatross Due to unfavorable weather, the Albatross III, fisheries research vessel, returned to port Tuesday morning. It sailed from Port Term inal at 2 o'clock Monday after noon, ^following a meeting of sci entists and commercial fishermen. At this meeting, held at the In stitute of Fisheries Research, Morehead City. Ray Buller of the Fish and Wildlife Service, made a report, commenting on the use of depth-sounding equipment in locating schools of fish. Fish Lecated In the course of its cruises, the Albatross has discovered large bodies of fish, either on the bot tom or in mid-water, congregated within a few miles off the North Carolina coast, principally in the Onslow Bay section. W. A. Ellison. Jr., director of the institute, told the group that special arrangements had been made with the Submarine Signal company to install free of charge a fathometer aboard the shrimp boat Penny which had previously worked for the institute. The Pen fiey, owned and operated by Cap sin Merrit Moore of Southport, will work close in conjunction with the Albatross, Mr. Ellison said. Although neither Captain Moore nor his vessel has been employed by the institute since July, he has continued to make reports of his findings and has oir several occas ions made special observations at the institute's request. Garland Fulcher and Captain Roland Sty ron, who have boats eqipped with the fathometer recording device, have also offered their cooperation in this study, the director added. 39 Tows Made Mr. Buller illustrated hia talk with charts.. Thirty . nine tows have been nude between Fryin Pan lightship and Cape Hatteras in water 50 to 110 fathoms. The net was torn up three times. He pointed out that this was sig nificant in 'that it indicated much more trawlable bottom in the deeper waters than had been sus pected by the fishermen of North Carolina. Stating that it was not the season for fish . the operating time being in May and June - they had obtained significant samplings of certain commercial fish which might prove to be present in great er abundance during this season. Mr. Buller described in detail i the operating technique for deter mination of the trawlability of the bottom, lie discussed the use of heavy rollers on the nets, saying that the Albatross would make al ternate tows with rollers and with out. Certain bottoms which are not now fished might be successfully fished if the boats were equipped with rollers, while other bottoms which are not now fished because the fishemen arc afraid of tearing up nets might be disclosed as clear and open and free of bottom for mations which would be destruc tive to the nets. Mr. Buller spoke briefly of the significance of temperatures and the movements of fish in the wat er, saying that the Albatross would make an effort to correlate its fish catch and the temperatures in which the fish were found. This may have an important bearing on fishing in North Carolina wat ers. As Mr. Ellison pointed out, in the more northern waters, it is pretty well established that had dock, codfish and halibut have a preference for certain tempera tures; and altough the existence of those temperatures does not mean that fish will be found, the absence of those temperatures would definitely indicate that no fish would be present. It is con ceivable that North Carolina fish ermen may some day fish with thermometers as well as nets, commented Mr. Ellison. Fishermen Alerted Dean Bumpns, oceanographer of the Woods Hole Oceanographic in, stitute, urged the group to alert See FISHERMEN, Page Three Tide Table Tides at Besnfort Bar HIGH LOW Friday, Jan. 20 9:41 a.m. 3:25 a.m. 10:02 p.m. 4:03 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 21 10:22 a.m. 4:00 a.m. 10:48 p.m 4:43 p.m. Snaday, Jfn. 22 11:01 a.m. 4:93 a.m. 1:2? p.m. 5:22 p.m. Mraday, Jan. 21 11:40 a.m. 5:37 a.m. Noon 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 24 12:13 a.m. 6:23 a.m 12:20 p.m. 6:41 p.BL* I Sheriff's Department Recovers Boat Stolen Tuesday Night at Yacht Basin Stale President to Visil |< Morehead Woman's Clnb I clu^win #E.he;d aty , win be host at 8 o'clock Thursday nl^ht to Mrs. E.

Morehead Jaycees Discuss Policy On Golf Course Jaycees held an extremely heat ed discussion during their Mon day night meeting on what steps their group should take to pro mote a golf course for Morehead City. The minutes of the last Jay cee board of directors mtetlng were read, stating that the Jaycecs should give full support to educat ing and selling to the public the advantages of building a golf course. Some members of the group stat ed that they felt the club should support any plans short of Jay cees themselves selling stock, some said the club should have nothing to do with promoting the course in any way, and others said Jaycees should sell stock and do anything possible toward seeing that a course is built. At least half ol those present had their say on the matter with pro and con opinion evenly bal anced. It was finally decided to withhold final action for two weeks to give the group time to consider all phases of the situa tion.

Warm Days Affect Oyster Business The hot weather last week put the oystermen out of business, ("apt. John Nelson, state fisheries commissioner, said this week that dealers stopped buying oysters be cause oysters don't sell on hot days. Clamming is going ahead as usual, but not as many arc being taken this year as in the past. The 73 menhaden boats fishing out of Carteret ports are doing better on catches than is custom ary for this time of year. Poor weather at the beginning of the season made the outlook dreary and not until recent weeks have the catches been of any size. This is due, probably, fisher men say, to the fact fliat the warm weather is keeping the fish in these waters. The state fisheries commission er said this week that he and his son. Ernest will leave Sunday to attend the State Board of Con servation and Development meet ing at Raleigh Monday and Tues day.
