C. )13p LEGAL NOTICES ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE Having qualified as Administra tor of the estate of James Hughea Davis, deceased, late of Carteret County, North Carolina, this is to notify all persons having claims s gainst the estate of aiid deceased to exhibit them to undersigned at Beaufort North Carolina, on or befbre July T, 1956, or this notice will be pleaded in bar of their re County Board (Continued from Page 1) 987 42. Business license tax reve nue totaled $2,222.50. Before adopting the budget, the board approved an appropriation of $2,625 for forest protection dur ing 1954-55. The request was pre sented by E. M. Foreman, forest ranger. Dr. K. P. B. Bonner, chairman of the board, called commissioners' at tention to revenue from the coun ty's three whisky store&. For the past fiscal year the county received $24,000 as compared with $35,000 last year. ' Towns Benefit He said the towns, Beaufort, Morehead City Hospital and New port, benefit from the stores, get ting a cut from gross income and the county, which pays for the stores' operation gets oniy wha*'s left. He said that the amount of the tax levy collected used to be 92 per cent and that has fallen oif. "If we're going to hold the line," he warned the board, "we can only do it by hoping for an increase in the amount of taxable property in the county." Dr. Bonner reported that the Dr. Bailey, who was tentatively sched uled to come here next month as health officer, will probably be kept in active service by the Army and will not be able to accept the position here. He added that it may be possible to have a local doctor serve as a part-time health officer, but recom mendation on a full-time officer will have to come through the State Board of Health. Road Petitions Cecil Morris and Clayton Fulcher Sr. appeared before the board with a request that two roads in Atlan tic be hard-surfaced. One is a neighborhood road that runs into a small settlement off Highway 70 where the highway turns toward Cedar Island. The other road runs through the middle of Atlantic from the Shell Road. That is about 300 yards long and the other is about 250 yards, Mr. Morris told the board. Commissioner Moses Howard presented a request for improve ment on a road about 600 feet long near Newport. The requests were approved by the board pending further okay by the State Highway Department. Commissioner Tilton Davis said the Harkers Island bridge is badly in need of repair. Material from the old Atlantic Beach bridge has been moved to the Harkers Island bridge for use in its repair but nothing has been done as yet. J. L. Humphrey, county road su perintendent, said that repairs were supposed to have started July 1. The board said they would take the matter up with T. Maynard Hicks, highway commissioner, when they meet with him July 21. Commissioner Davis said the Willis Road and the Guthrie Road on Harkers Island are also in need of improvement. Attending the meeting in addi tion to those mentioned above were Commissioners EL H. Potter and Walter Yeomans. Beaufort, Hickory Interests Take Over The Dress Shop Mrs. Letha Dickinson, Beaufort, and Miss Vernic E. Bowman, Hick ory, last week bought The Dres* Shop, Morehead City, from Mrs. Edna Farrior, Morehead City. Miss Bowman is the sister of Dr. Forrest Hicks, Hickory, who fre quently comes to Carteret on bear hunting trips. Mrs. Dickinson, who has been in dress shop business for the past 10 years, was manager of Potter'a Dress Shop. Beaufort, before taking over the Morehead City business. Miss Bowman plans U> move to Morehead City and will be co-mana ger of the shop with Mrs. Dickin son. There are about 1,200 million acres classified as "land in farms" in the United States.

Mothers, Children Benefit In Social Security Program Beach Police Get Station The Atlantic Beach Police De partment has obtained a building to serve as headquarters, Atlantic Beach Police Chief George Smith, reported yesterday. The Atlantic Beach town board voted at its last meeting to give the department $500 for the pur chase of a building. A 12-by-14-foot building was bought from M. T. Mills, Morehpad City. The building, located on Mr. Mills' used car lot, was moved by the seven policemen at Atlantic Beach in a truck donated by Bill McLean, Red Springs. The building was painted inside and out and was put into operation July 1. It is located on Front Street between Reggie's and the Ocean King Hotel. Office hours are 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Chief Smith says the building will be used as a place to book ar rests and as a "cooling off place" for persons causing trouble on the beach. He said that the more serious cases will be taken to the county jail. The police station will mean bet ter service to the public because they will have a definite place to go fo look for a policeman and may phone the police station, 6 4040. Chief Smith said. Four of the seven-man police force at the beach are full-time em ployees and three work on week ends only. United Fund (Continued from Page 1) taken out of the total he said. This includes mailing, advertising, etc. Four Do Not Join Asked what agencies didn't join the United Fund, Mr. Alexander enumerated, the heart and cancer funds, National Tuberculosis So ciety, and the National Infantile Paralysis Foundation. The heart and cancer funds didn't need any money last year, he said, because they had a surplus in their treasury. The polio and TB agencies didn't Join because of national policies, he explained. He stated that business organi utions in Raleigh conduct only one campaign among their employ ees. These employees are sold, he said, on a one drive for funds, and do not contribute to anything else. Mr Alexander said length of the United Fund drive is based on chapter by-laws and the consti tution. In Raleigh last year it was three weeks. Most of the money was pledged or subscribed, and is collected each month. Monthly Payments Agencies are paid on their bud gets on a monthly basis because of the monthly collections through either payroll deductions or con tributions. Directing a word to the publi cists, Mr. Alexander stated that the United Fund should be kept before the public 12 months of the year, not just before, during, and after i United Fund drive. Organisations sending repreaent atives to the Thunday meeting were Lions, Rotary, Jaycees, Cham ber of Commerce, Business and Professional Women's Club, More head City Woman's Club, More head City Junior Woman's Club, and the County Tuberculosis Asso ciation. Before Mr. Alexander spoke, R. B. Howard, Rotary president, in troduced Rotary visitors. They were Lawrence Stroud, ? Mothers and children in Carter et County were getting 23 per cent of the $22,725 monthly total in so cial security insurance benefits be ing paid in the county at the end of 1953, N. A. Avera, manager of the Wilmington social security of fice, announced today. These newly-available figures show an increase of $4,518 in the total of monthly payments to this group of beneficiaries in the 12 month period ending with Decem ber, he said. Total payments to children in this county were $4,026 for the month of December. In the nation as a whole, over one million children were getting a total of about $32'* million in monthly payments at the end of 1953. Nationwide, over a quarter of a million widowed mothers were paid a total of over $9'* million in December. The largest groups of benefici aries under the social security in surance program, however, contin ue to be retired workers, Mr. Avera said. In December, 347 such beneficiaries in Carteret were paid a total of $13,565. This was an increase of $2,908 in total payments in a 12-month period. Nationwide, the increase in re tired - worker beneficiaries was $578,416, and the total of monthly payments to them increased from $130,217,439 to $164,659,061 in the same period. Mr. Avera said that many are in clined to think of old-age and survi vors insurance under the social se curity system as a program for re tired workers and their dependents exclusively. As the figures re lating to mother and children indi cate, however, survivors benefits are an important part of the pro gram too. Other beneficiaries on the rolls in Carteret County are wives and aged dependent husbands of re tired insured workers, aged widows and dependent widowers of de ceased workers, and dependent par ents who are receiving survivor's benefits. The total of all beneficiaries in Carteret County receiving month ly benefit payments at the end of 1953 was 594, Mr. Avera concluded. Negro News Morehead City ?

Atlantic Beach Residents Will Meet at 10 Saturday I Coast Guard Raises Quota The United States Coast Guard enlistment quota for the fifth dis trict has been raised to 79 for the month of July, announces Charles L. Lewis, officer in charge of re cruiting. Quota for the Wilmington and Morehead City area is 15 with a likely possibility that more can be taken, he stated. In order to qualify for enlist ment applicants must be between the ages of 17 and 26, in good health, of good moral character, and be of average intelligence. A Coast Guard recruiter is at the Morehead City postoffice Wednes days. The Wilmington recruiting office in the customs house there is open daily. Applicants will be sent to Nor folk, Va., for physicals, and if ac cepted, are sent to Cape May N. J., for 13 weeks of basic training. On completion of training, re cruits are assigned duty, according to Coast Guard needs. Ports (Continued from Page 1) said an office in New York will probably be opened within the next month. "When I feel it will be profitable to open in the Middle West, I will do so," he added. A Chicago office is contemplated. The ports director said, "You have to have something to sell be fore putting out solicitors and we haven't had it 'til now. He was referring to the Wilmington port and explained that cotton and tex tile rates were "favorably read justed in June." The figure for advertising state ports was set at $7,500. "In a year," the ports director said, "we will be ready for a great deal more ad vertising than at present." Scheduled Service In his six-month report. Colonel Marr emphasized the importance of Wilmington's obtaining its first "scheduled service." Isthmian Lines' first port of call in this coun try from India will be Wilmington. Colonel Marr said he expects to have scheduled service to the West Coast and Hawaii in the near fu ture and hopes for a total of four steamship lines with regular stops at Wilmington by the end of the year. A drop of 42,000 tons in fertilizer tonnage at Wilmington this year was due to opening of fertilizer plants in the Middle West. Raw sugar imports were lost at Wil mington, he added, "due to a rate technicality." He said sugar took up too much warehousing anyhow and was not compatible with other shipments. Wilmington would han dle only emergency sugar ship ments in the future, he added. The Wilmington port "broke even last year before depreciation," the director said. As for the future, he announced that Imperial Tobacco Co. will probably ship 25,000 hogsheads through Wilmington this fall. More dried milk shipments are expected, commercial commodity cargoes have increased from 15 to 20 "with a positive outlook for considerably greater expansion," he said. A member of the authority, W. Avery Thompson, reported on the recent Rivers and Harbors Con gress at Washington. He also sug gested that Col. Beverly Snow, re cently named chief engineer of the Division of Water Resources for the State Board of Conservation and Development, be made avail able to the authority for consulta tion on ports problems. Manager Comments J. D. Holt, manager of the More head City port, attended the meet ing and commended the authority for its decision to request the legis lature for funds to build an addi tional 400,000 feet of warehousing at Morehead City. That action and the decision to request funds for two Gantry cranes (loading equip ment) at Morehead City, he termed "visionary." The original request for equip ment at ports specified cranes for Wilmington only. Mr. Holt suggest ed also that port* officials keep in close touch with Southern, if it comes into Morehead City, on its needs in regard to loading equip ment. Others attending the meeting were Edwin Pate, chairman of the authority, who presided, Raymond A. Bryan, J. Harry White, Harvey W. Moore, Harold F. Coffey, and J. Lansing Smith, assistant treas urer for the two porti. Following the meeting, the au thority had lunch at the Dunes Club with Mayor George W. Dill, Morehead City, D. G. Bell and Dr. John W. Morris, town commission ers, and C. G. Holland, assistant fisheries commissioner. Hit-Run Dog Saginaw (AP) -Edward F. Scho makrr reported a hit-and-run Boxer punched a $45 dent in his car. The Boxer, he said, chased another dog under his car, but smacked into the side and leaped away. Since the end of World War II, U. 8. state and local jobholders have increased about I % million. ? A town meeting of all property owner* on Atlantic Beach ia aet lor Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Heart of the Beach to study a proposed raise in taxes so that a *50,000 fire protection program can be under taken. It was decided that the town meeting be held by the Atlantic Beach town board at their last meeting, June 22. The board will meet immediate ly after the town meeting and pass on the proposal according to the wishes of the majority of property owners present at the meeting. Would Save Money Atlantic Beach Mayor A. B. Cooper says, "Our greatest aim is to have fire protection on the beach because insurance is so high here. 1 feel we'll save money many, many times on insurance by putting in fire protection." Mayor Cooper continued. "Even with an increase in taxes, we'll save on insurance premiums." He said that letters explaining the situation have been sent to every property owner on Atlantic Beach. The proposal will call for an ap proximate raise in taxes of IS cents. Cost Estimated George Franklin, general counsel for the North Carolina League of Municipalities, estimated that it would cost approximately $13,000 to put in a water line for fi>e-fight ing purposes. He stated that a stor age tank would cost about $25,000 and a second-hand fire truck could be bought for about $2,000. * This would bring the total sum to $40,000 but the board voted to set the amount at $50,000 to cover unforeseen expenses. Mayor Cooper said, "We hope to have a good turn out for the meet ing because the board will base its conclusions on the views of the people present." He concluded by saying, "Right now if we had a fire over here, with the wind blowing like it has been, the whole beach would go up." Hardware Store Starts Expansion J. A. Durham and J. Frank Cheek, owners and managers of Hardware and Building Supply Co., 8th and Arendell Streets, More head City, announced today that they have rented the adjoining store formerly occupied by S&W Drug Store. This expansion will add J ,800 square feet of street level store space to Hardware k Building Sup ply's present 2,700 square feet. Total footage will be 4,500. Second story space, used for stor age and warehousing, will like wise be expanded to 4,500 square feet. The soda and lunch fountain will be retained in the remodeling of the former S&W store as an at traction to hardware customers wishing to combine lunch with shopping. Durham and Cheek, married tt sisters and formerly in the lumber business in Greensboro, bought Hardware and Building Supply Co. in June 1952. Since then they have expanded the business and its in ventory to a point where It is one of the largest hardware concerns in the county. While both are ardent golfers, active members of the First Bap tist Church, fathers of a boy and girl each, their worfc-a-day plans envision a hardware store which will carry not only every hardware item called for by Carteret Coun tians but thousands of other relat ed items. The Durhams reside at 2720 Arvon Drive, Morehead City, and the Cheeks at 2707 Homes Drive, Morehead City.
