Construction
Begins on Fishery
Service Building
$20,000 Structure Will
House Shops, Cars, Heal
ing plant, Pump Systems
Work started Wednesday morn
ing on the service building, the !
first of a new group of buildings to
house the United States fisheries
laboratory on Pivert Island, Beau
fort.
The building, of concrete block
and brick construction, is being
built by workmen at the laboratory
ander the supervision of J. Vance
Fulford, superintendent of build
ings and grounds. Thirty feet wide
and 148 feet long, the building will
cost approximately $20,000. It will
lie in an east-west direction, paral
lel to the present irame building.
In it will be the carpenter shop,
machine shop, four garages, heat
t plant and pumping systems for
both fresh and salt water.
Assisting Superintendent Ful
ford are Claude Guthrie, Reginald
Willis, John Parker, E. Garrison,
and Clarence Carter.
True Stefferhagen, architect- en
gineer of Washington, D. C., and j
R. P. Silliman, chief of the branch
of anadromous fishes, were at the
ialand last week to make final pre- 1
? parations prior to construction.
The new building will have a fac
ing of ivory brick and a green as
bestos roof. Its construction is the [
first part of an overall plan to
beautify the island and landscape
the shore. It is hoped, according to
G. B. Talbot who is in charge of the
lab, that construction on the labora- 1
tory itself will start next year .
When that building is completed, i
the present wooden building will
be torn down. A new building pro
gram was proposed and undertaken ;
because the present structures are i
to old that cost of maintenance is
constantly risiing, Talbot said.

NEWS-TIMES of June 8.
Carroll stated. "I started busi
ness in a used car lot last June 1B51

writing or verbally of an overdue
license until a short time ago.
"It was surprising to me after
doing business nearly twelve
months to learn in the county news
paper that a warrent would be
sworn out for me for refusal to
pay this license. I still contend the
amount of 120 is too high.
"However upon receipt of a bill
and privilege license, a check will
be forwarded," he said, to the town

The Morehead City board of com
miaaioners mat in special session
yesterday afternoon to draw up a
tentative budget for the 1852-53
fiacal year. Conferring this week
with monldpel officials of Beau
fort, Morehead City, and Atlantic
'Beach, is Goorga Franklin, counsel
for the League of Municipalities.
F. R. Seeley, chairman of the*
county board of elections, has an
nounced that an irregularity took
place at the polls in Morehead pre
cinct No. 2 during the primary
Saturday, May 31. The violation
of the election laws, section 137
(1), was reported by the registrar,
Clyde Jones.
Seeley said that since a meeting
of the elections board costs $26
(per diem) he was not going to
call a special meeting to consider
the infraction but issued a stern
warning that future violation of
election laws will leave the elec
tioit board no other alternative
than prosecution.
According to the registrar, a man
went to the polling place in pre
cinct No. 2 and gave his name as
that of one registered on the books.
The registrar checked him off,
handed him a ballot and he went
in the booth, marked it and return
ed it to the book holder, a woman.
She asked him his name, he
again gave the same name as he
gave the registrar and then de
posited his ballot in the box. As
he left the polling place one of the
judges remarked that he did not
recognize the man as the one he
knew by that name.
The woman agreed, saying that
she lived next door to the man
whose name was registered and
under whose name the stranger
voted. The registrar, Jones, re
ported to the chairman of the
board of elections, that he checked
on the matter and learned that the
man who actually did the voting
was a roomer at an address on
Arendell street where the man, un
der whose name he voted, lives.
The registered man's wife, ac
cording to Jones, even accompanied
their roomer to the polls.
'Sealey, in warning that infrac
tions of the elections laws will not
be tolerated if brought to the at
tention of the elections board,
quoted the law as follows:
Cfmin Act* Declared
F?for)i*. Anjr person who shall ,
in connection with any primary,
general or special election held in
this state, do arty r' the arts or
things declared in t.. s section to
be unlawful, shall be guilty of a
felony and upon conviction shall
be imprisoned in the State's Prison
not less than four months or fined
not less than one thousand dollars |
or both, in the discretion of the
court. It shall be unlawful:
(1) For any person fraudulent
ly to cause his name to be placed
upon the registration books of more
than one election precinct or fraud
ulently cause or procure his name
or that of any other person to be
placed upon the registration books
in any precinct when such registra
tion in that precinct does not qual
ify such person to vote legally
therein, or to impersonate falsely
another registered voter for the
purpose of voting in the stead of
such other voter.

! William "Billy" McClain of More
head City, who was graduated from
North Carolina' State College's
Technical institute this month, be
lieves that one year in a technical
institute can make a great deal of
difference in a young man's life.
In May 1951, Billy was a high
school graduate without training
for a job and without plans for his
| future. June 6, 1952, he was gradu
I ated from State College's Technical
1 institute with a classification as an
electrical technican. And he has
had two offers of jobs from public
I utilities and one offer from an in
ternational corporation.
As an electrical technician Billy
! is jone of the young men who is
helping to fill the great demand for
j technically trained men; in fact,
| every member of his class in elec
j tricial technology has been offered
I a job.
When Billy* graduated from high
I school, there was a possibility that
, he could afford one year in college,
but only one. He considered one
year in a four-year college. Then
j he visited State College's Technical
; Institute in Morehead City and de
cided to enroll in the one-year
course in electrical technology. At
the end of the first term, he was ?
awarded the Morehead City Rotary
scholarship.
During the first term Billy studi
ed the same subjects as ihe boys
I specializing in other courses, name
i ly, engineering drawing, mathe
i matics, internal combustion engines,
] electricity, physics, acetylene weld
; ing, and English.
! For the second term, he continu
j ed the study of engineering draw
| ing. mathematics, and English; but
j as a student in electrical technology
I he enrolled in electricity (the study
of alternating current), practical
electrical wiring (National Electric
Code), electrical laboratary (both
alternating and direct current) and
electric welding.
For the third term the students
in electrical technology began elec
trical drafting, electrical machin
ery electronics, electrical controls,
and radio.
Today Billy says: if a boy can
afford to have only one year in
college he should consider a techni
cal institute. At the present time I
feel that the training that I have
received has not only enabled me
to get a job but will also determine
my life's work."
