Rent Director Urges Tenants To Make Inqniry Tenants have the full right to come to the area rent office and get the facts on the housing unit they occupy to determine the legal maximum rent and the services the landlord is required to supply, John Blair Mason, area rent di rector. announced today. 'There is nothing secretive or mysterious about our operation and we invite both tenants and land lords to inquire about properties they are concerned with," Mason said. "W* especially invite tenants to ask questions because it is the belief of the local rent advisory board that too few tenants in Car teret county know their rights un der the rent laws. "No tenant can be evicted by his landlord merely because he in quires into the status of the unit he rents, or because he registers a complaint against his landlord," the area rent director emphasizes. "The rent laws afford tenants rigid protection against unlawful evic tion. Most landlords are aware of this but I doubt if many tenants know it." The area rent offfCe. located at 9th and Arendell st., I'ender bldg., Morertead City, has just received a new 'fact sheet" of tenants' and landlords' rights under the rent laws that is available on request.

Frank Gambino wanted his wedding cake to be just so ? so he baked It himself. He ended up with a cake bigger than he was. It was 9 feet high and weighed 300 pounds. It was built in several tiers with cake-like pillars holding up each tier. The base had seven steps leading up to a miniature church in front of which were figures of the bride and groom and members of the wedding party.

Resort Grows From Pavilions To Hotels \ in 50-Year Period By T. C Salisbury At the turn of the present cen tury, Morehead City was the Mecca for a host of summer visitors, at tracted here by the service offered by the Atlantic hotel which at that time had been given the title of the "Summer Capitol." State officials from the governor down, as well as many prominent citizens of the state, were steady patrons of this famous resort hotel for many years. Along with other attractions of fered the guests of the hotel was that of surf bathing on the Bogue Banks ocean, beach Sail boats op erated by the hotel, as well as boats for hire, carried the bathers to the north side of the Banks from where they plodded through the sand to the ocean side. Pavilions Built Popularity of the ocean side and surf bathing brought about the construction of pavillions along ihe beach to care for the demand for bath houses and refreshments. The first pavilion to be erected on the beach was known as the Chadwick Royal pavilion. This structure stood about at the site of the present Dunes club. Winfield Chadwick of Beaufort and J. J. Royal of More head City were the owners of Banks property extending from what is known as Money Island to the west line of the government property. The building erected by these men was 50 x 75 feet, one story, with ells at the rear containing ihe bath houses. A refreshment stand stood at one end. The building was open on all sides, serving only as a shelter from the sun or storms. Later the land was divided between the two men, Mr. Koyal taking ihe western end upon Which he built i two-story pavilion with bath houses. This site known for many years is Money Island is now occupied by Courie's Villa, pavilion and cot tages. Transportation to the beach in those days and until ihe highway bridge was built in 1928 was by boat. A slue or creek on the north side of the banks permitted ihe landing from small crafts on a rickety dock from which a narrow board walk in later years was built leading to the Royal pavilion. Sup plies for the refreshment ftands, such as ice and soft drinks, were carted from the dock over ihe sand dunes by ox and cart. During these early days of the ! beach development the operation of the two pavilions changed hands every season or two. Seemingly no eftm wasflttde to enlarge or im prove the attractions or to give any sort of service or accommodations to persons desiring to spend any time at the beach. In July 1913, auction sales of beach building lots were held by the Atlantic Coast Realty company. It is stated that the offerings met with little re sponse. 100 Acres Bought Credit must be given io Von Bedsworth of Morehead City 'or the starting of a resort develop ment which through the passing years brought about the present Atlantic Beach resort. Back in 1916 Bedsworth purchased Ihe site of 100 acres of beach property in cluding the Royal pavilion, giving it the name of Atlantic View beach. He made extensive im provements on the pavilion and bath houses and in 1918 built a 100-room hotel which met with in stant success, giving the vacation ing public accommodations "direct ly on the beach. Financial reverses caused Beds worth to dispose of this property in 1920. For the next two vears the resort was operated by J. JC. Woodland. From that time on un til the hotel was destroyed by Tire and the pavilion torn down, the op eration of the resort passed under several different managers, from bad to worse. Following the loss of the Atlan tic View beach, Bedsworth built a pavilion for colored people to ihe east on the beach on the ;ite of the present McClamrock property. A year later he sold the property to a group of colored men who at tempted to operate it until the buildings were destroyed by /ire a few years later. The year 1928 brought about ihe boom-time days of the Morehead Bluffs development. Morehead City and Beaufort caught the f^ver. Real estate was changing hands from day to day. Out of ihe "bub ble" developed a project, by a group of Beaufort and Morehead men to organize a corporation io Nichols ; BLENDED WHISKEY $2.10 plat $3.35 Austir\pj,NicKols build a bridge from the mainland^ in Morehead to Boguc Banks, cre ating a resort on what is today the site of Atlantic Beach. Corporations Formed Two corporations were formed by this group of promoters, the Atlantic Beach and Bridge corp. and the Atlantic Beach corp. The men back of the project were G. W. Huntley. W. T. Davis, George Brooks, J. F. Duncan. C. R. Wheat ly, C. K. Howe of Beaufort, J. E. Woodland and Luther Hamilton if Morehcad. Besides the toll bridge connect ing the mainland with the beach, the promoters built a small dining hall, bath houses and pavilion in which dances were held. This ven ture was short lived for during the night of July 6, 1929 fire destroyed the entire layout of buildings on the beach. The State Trust co. of New York which held a mortgage against the property took it over following the fire. This banking firm was absorbed by (he Manu facturers Trust co., receiving the beach property as one of the nssets from the State Trust co. In 1930 the Manufacturers Trust co. sent Robert Cordon, one of its associates, down to look things over. Cordon liked the looks of things so well that he persuaded the trust company to rebuild the beach, consisting of n large casino and bath houses. A year later con struction was started on the At lantic Beach hotel by the banking firm and was completed in 1932. Hotel Bought Cordon acted as manager of the resort and hotel for several years. In 1940 the hotel was purchased by W. L. Derriekson who is the present operator. Later Newman Willis had the management of the resort until the property was sold by the banking firm to 11. G. Mayer. In the fall of 1945 the beach was purchased by Alfred Cooper. More iiead City, from Mayer. He re modeled the casino, built the Ocean King hotel and made many im provements. Later part of the property has been sold by Cooper to various parties who operate .he several concessions. In 1936 the bridge was sold to the state for an approximate $50. 000 and toll charges were removed. From that time of ov*r a half cen tury ago when but two crude struc tures served the visitors to ihc beach, the beach through the vision of its early promoters has become a highly-developed ocean-side re sort. The popularity of Atlantic Beach has prompted the state to build H new highway bridle Con necting the mainland at Morehead with Atlantic Beach at a cost of $1,500,000.

Throughout the state returns show that the Umstead-Olive race set n new record in gubernatorial primary voting. The total vote is expected to reach 560.000. Voting was proportionately heavier in Carteret county where Olive made an unexpected good showing. Both candidates visited Carteret county prior to the election but ! only Umstead made a public ap pearance. Campaign manager for ' Umstead was Sheriff C. G. Holland and for Olive. Wiley Taylor, jr., of I Beaufort. Run-Offs Indicated It has not been clearly deter | mined who will hold the position i of lieutenant governor. Luther | Hodges, Lcaksville, holds a com manding lead but at latest reports had no clear majority. It is possi ' ble that Roy Rowe of Burgaw, ?vho was second high in the race may call for a run-off. j ltowe's friends indicated that his I decision may rest on whether a run- : off is slated for the associate jus- j tice office where a second primary i is regarded as highly likely. \ Umstead's margin was 25.462 i votes over Olive at the last tally ing. He had 283.105 to Olive's t 257.643 votes. Manley R. Dunaway, ( Charlotte realtor, polled 4,487. ( In turning back Olive, Umstead r overrode strong support accorded c the Lexington man by Governor \ Scott, who early announced lie fav ored Olive. Scott, however, failed s to persuade many of his top ap- r pointees to follow his lead. Many ( of them worked hard for Umstead. < Scott's backing of Olive became < one of the principal issues in the | campaign. i Umstead received the campaign t returns in his headquarters at the i Sir Walter hotel in Haleigh. Olive i kept up with them at his home in Lexington. Sunday, after the Um- c stead victory was assured, Olive ( wired the Durham lawyer and j pledged that "you and your entire i ticket will have my loyal, and ic- i tive support" in the November ] j election. Actually, there is no doubt about \ a Democrat's election in North Carolina in the fall. Triumph in ? the primary is tantamount to elec | tion. i Umstead is 57 years old. He | started life as a farm boy in north ern Durham county, now practices i law in Durham with the firm of Fuller, Head*. Umstead and Fuller. He is a graduate of Carolina and the Duke Law school and a veteran of world war I. In the governor's race, winner Umstead slept late Sunday, then ! told calling newsmen, 'I should like to- express my ' thanks and appre ciation to the people of North Caro ! lina for the confidence they have j placed in me and I shall do my best to measure up to it. I should like to thank every person in ihe state who in any way supported my , campaign, for their help."
