Waterway Closes Due to Marine Maneuvers The Army Corpe o / Engineers explained today that cloture of the inland waterway between Brown's Inlet and New River, tomorrow through Monday., it due to Marine maneuver!. The Wilmington district office of the engineers stated that they had received a request that the waterway be opened at intervals to let boats pass. That cannot be done, the en gineers explain, because the forces on maneuvers throw pontoon bridges across the waterway to car ry tanks and trucks. Opening of those bridges for passage of boats would cause a loss of six to seven hours and "create unbalanced tim ing, an element of vital importance in military operations." The closing of the waterway, therefore, is necessary due to mili tary necessity and in the interest of national defense, continue the engineers. The closing order will start at 12:01 a m. tomorrow and will end at 12 o'clock midnight Monday. The channel on New River from Traps Bay to Jacksonville will also be closed to navigation during this period. However, Browns Inlet will remain open as will New River Inlet up to Traps Bay. Closing of the waterway to navi gation occurs infrequently and is allowed only under the most ur gent circumstances, the District explained. Negro News Beaufort?

Marine Killed, Two Hurt As Car Plunges Off Bridge One Marine wat killed and two4 othera were aeriotifly injured early Wedneaday morning when the ear in which they were riding west out of control on the Trent River Bridge, New Be r*. .and plunged in to the water. the Marine who waa killed waa Pfc. Boyd J. Keener, 18. Injured were Pfc Ralph E. Schmitt, 19. and Cpl. Warren S. McKenzie, U, who waa driving. All were from Cherry Point Marine Air Baae. Corporal McKeoxie, the more aer ioualy injured of the two, waa thrown out on the bridge before the car broke through the railing. He was reported yeaterday to be in satiafactory condition 'at Cherry Point dispensary. According to reports from. inves tigators and witnesses, the car was headed from New Bern towarda the Cherry Point Air Station. Appar ently traveling at a high rate of speed, the 1M1 DeSoto sedan rounded the curve on the bridge and cleared the draw. Car Swerves After passing through the draw the' car swerved to the left side of the bridge, hit the raised walking platform, careened back acroaa the bridge, crashed through the rail, and plunged into the water. Pfc. Ejmar Burl Middendorf, al so a Cherry Point Marine, was hitch-hiking at a point just across the bridge and rushed to the scene where the car plunged into the river, approximately 250 feet from the eastern end of the bridge. Dives to Rescue Middendorf dived into the wa ters and aided in the rescue of the Marines who managed to survive. Keener, who died from drowning, was sitting in the middle of the front seat at the time the accident occurred. The accident occurred at around 6.15 and caused a bottleneck for traffic at that time of morning. Two cranes were needed to get the wrecked vehicle from the river, although one wrecker did get the car high enough to allow rescuers to get Keener's body from it. The river is reportedly around 20 feet deep at the point where the car was submerged. Questioned by Coroner Ballard and Highway Patrolman H. W. Pridgen, Mckenzie said that the three boys had a liberty pass from the Marine base, and attended an automobile show and festival at the New Bern fair grounds before the crash. They were headed back to Cherry Point at the time of the accident. According to Coroner Ballard, the driver of the death car said he dived overboard himself, al though badly dazed, in an effort, to rescue his buddies. He told Bal lard and Pridgen that "he wasn't driving too fast" when he rounded the tricky drawbridge curve, but skidded and lost control of the car. Examination of the bridge re vealed damage to the left side of the draw, i>ut no visible signs of skid or brake marks. The top of the automobile was crushed, Indi cating that it cither overturned in to the railing or landed upside down in the river. The front end of the vehicle was badly damaged.

(number 1 in < Mrtoa of V Canter (Continued from Page I) in Carteret Coynty is far more ur gent than any of the other of these calls except possibly htart disease A safe average would be a new case of cancer of some part of the body obaerved by one of the doc tors of the county at least once a week If aot more often. That means ft least 50 to 75 new caaet of can cer e^ery year. This is probsbly a very conservative estimate and un doubtedly the figure would run much higher We of the Carteret County Medi cal Society wish to urge the peo ple of the county to donate gener ously this year as the fund in the county for the care of indigent cancer cases is not nearly suffi cient to take care of the demands, it should be understood that out of all the money collected in Car teret County. 40 per cent comes back to Carteret County to be used in the care of indigent cancer cases who are unable to finance their diagnosis and treatment. , That means out of every $1000 collected $400 will be available for this purpose. Such funds are spent for hospital bills, transportation, X-ray and radium treatment at actual cost. None is spent for phy sicians' services in connection with this program. The extensive re search that is going on today in the field of the cause of cancer and its treatment requires millions of dollars, and these funds are chiefly raised through the annual cancer drive which is going on dur ing the month of April. The people of the county are urged to procure for their own in formation and protection the nu merous pamphlets which have been distributed throughout the county indicating the danger signs and symptoms with which everyone should be familiar. The donation, which it is hoped will be more lib eral than ever before, can be de posited in any of the collection boxes throughout the county. 1 The doctors can and will do everything in their power to cut down the terrific mortality rate for cancer, but the patients must give the doctors a chance. They must help to finance the tremendous ex pense involved in the cancer pro gram which has already made available to the medical profession much information which helps in early diagnosis and treatment and which eventually it is believed will lift the shadow of mystery which lies over this disease so that it can be cured in 100 per cent of the cases.
