JANUARY 10, 1968 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS Beaufort Will Pay Share to Fight Phone Rate Raise if Others Will Beaufort will finance its propor tionate share of fighting the phone rate raise if the county and other towns in the county do their part This decision was made by the Beaufort town board at its meet ing Monday night. The East Carolina Phone Fight Committee, with Robert I. Powell, mayor of Clinton as chairman,; asks interested towns to pay an assessment of 20 cents per phone to finance legal aid to contest Carolina Telephone Company's re quest for higher rates. Dan Walker, clerk, said that 1,208 phones are listed on the Beau fort exchange, but only 820 of those are in town. At the rate of 20 cents a phone, Beaufort's share in the rate fight would be $164. Listed to the Morchead City ex change, he said, were 2,780 phones, of which 1,668 were in town. More head City's share of the cost would be $333.60. (Morehead City has taken no action on the matter).

December Tax Collections Total $29,737, Board Told Tax collections during Decem ber totaled $29,737.37, E. a Moore, county tax collector informed the board of commissioners Monday morning. Collected on the 1957 levy was $27,826.96 and on 1956 and prior levies $2,110.41. Percentage of the 1957 levy collected to date is 80.49. E. L.

Mr. Brinson told the commis sioners that his Job was not an easy one, that through the years Mr. Moore's office had done a thorough Job ? there were no "cream of the crop" delinquent taxes to collect, bo ? All schools in the county have been supplied with containers in which money for the March of Dimes will be placed. Mrs. John Johnson, campaign chairman, said that each school was given enough containers for each room. The room which col lects the high.-t amount of money in each school will receive a $5 cash prize. Although the March of Dimes continues throughout the month of January, the principals may con duct the campaign in their schools the length of time they wish. Theme of the March of Dimes this year is "Survival is Not Enough." Emphasis is being placed on rehabilitating and helping per sons who arc still crippled from polio. March of Dimes funds will also be used in 1958 to continue and expand studies in the field of virus research which may lead to pre ventives of many other virus di seases. Another objective of the March of Dimes is to finance the train ing of scientists, doctors and thera pists in the care of the disabled. The organization has assisted in the education of nearly 7,000 men and women in the field of polio and related studies, but the short age of skilled hands is still acute. 20th Anniversary Coinciding with the opening of the 1958 fund-raising drive, the National Foundation celebrated its 20th anniversary on Jan. 2. In the 20-year period it not only sponsored the research that led to creation of the Salk Vaccine but also financed the care of 325,000 polio patients. "The end of the era of epidemic polio," said Basil O'Connor, pres ident of the National Foundation, "marks the beginning of an even more important, broader, more challenging era of achievement for the March of Dimes. The rehabili tation of polio patients is the first step toward our greater goal." State to Ask Army to Study Park Erosion The first glimmer of hope that the state is actively interested in protecting Fort Macon State Park from ocean invasion came last week with a statement from the governor's office. Announcing that federal and state experts will search for methods to protect Ocracoke from hurricane and storm tide damage, a state ment prepared by Ed Rankin, sec retary to the governor, said, "A similar situation, perhaps even worse has developed on the island near Morehead City on which Fort Macon State Park is located." The governor will ask the Beach Erosion Board of the Army Corps of Engineers to cooperate in a study to determine the best method to protect the state park and adja cent areas. The Ocracoke study is being fi nanced by $10,500 in state funds and $30,500 in federal funds. Ocracoke is an important link in the proposed all-seashore highway and unless a highway can be pro tected from storm tides, an all seashore route along the coast may be jeopardized. Governor Hodges has also an nounced that the Corps of En gineers will close the inlet at Ixmg Beaeh opened by Hurricane Hazel. He said the inlet cut in the Brunswick County beach had caused loss of revenue to the coun ty and to individual property owners. Truck Collides With Car Monday Henry Allen, Camp Lcjeunc truck driver, was charged with failing to give a proper turn signal after his truck collided with a 1937 Olrismobilc at midnight Monday on Highway 70 across from the Caro lina race track.

Just as the truck pulled to the left, the Oldsmobilc attempted to pass. Pa trolman Pickard said the truck driver told him he signaled a left turn about 50 feet prior to turning. It was raining hard at the time. Damage to the truck was minor. Damage to the Oldsmobilc was es timated at $150.

C&D Approves Seaplane to Aid Fisheries Unit Fisheries Hearing Will Be Held at Morehead City April 12 The State Board of Conservation and Development has given its blessing to a request for a sea plane to help in enforcement of state fisheries regulations. The request was made by C. G. Holland, state fisheries commis sioner. at the C&D meeting Mon-1 day at Raleigh. The seaplane would cost about $7,500. Commissioner Holland pointed out that his department will have a $20,000 surplus at the close of the current fiscal year enough to buy the plane and pay a pilot. The money, he said, will revert to the state's general fund, if not used. Final approval of the plan will lie with the Council of State and the budget bureau. Commissioner Holland said the plane would help with enforcement of fisheries laws on the 6,000 square miles of North Carolina waters. Hearing Date A fisheries hearing at Morehead City was set for 2 p.m. Saturday, April 12. At that time a request to prohibit Saturday shrimping in i state-controlled waters will be j considered. The no-shrimping Sat urday proposal has been made by I the North Carolina Fisheries Asso ciation. 1 Also to be considered at the hear ing is a request to permit fishing I in waters from the Albemarle Bridge on Highway 32 at Pea Ridge to the Norfolk Southern rail road bridge some five miles west, and from the head of the Albe marle Sound up the Chowan River to a bridge over Highway 17. Per mission to use three-inch and lar ger nets was requested in those waters. One Quart Limit The fisheries committee changed a regulation allowing an individual to have one gallon of shucked oys- j ters for "personal use" to only one quart. Commissioner Holland explained, that Individuals peddle shucked! oysters, but the oysters have not been opened under approved sani-j tary conditions; thus reducing the amount of shucked oysters allowed in possession will deter the peddl ing. Permission went to Commission er Holland to start an educational program designed to prevent the pollution of oyster beds by bilge water and sewage from oyster boats passing over them. It is expected that a sanitary toilet will be required on all com mercial fishing boats in the future to comply with federal regulations regarding shellfish taken from North Carolina waters. The commissioner said he hoped oystcrmcn would comply voluntar-1 ily. The restriction is required by the federal government and ap-, plies wherever oysters arc sold out of state. Nothing, it was stated, could be done about pleasure and sport craft operating in the waters. Commissioner Holland attended I a budget meeting Wednesday in Raleigh. Others in Raleigh for the C&D meeting Monday and Tues day were Cecil Morris, chairman of the commercial fisheries com mittee; Dr. A. F. Chestnut, Insti tute of Fisheries Research, and Leon K. Thomas of the stale fish cries division. Trains Again Move over Bridge Beaufort and Morehead Railroad cars resumed trips back and forth between Beaufort and Morehead City at 4 o'clock Wednesday after noon. A crane on a barge, pulled by a tug, ran into the Newport River railroad draw about 1: IS pm Tuesday. Damage to the draw made it impossible for trains to cross. Temporary repairs have been made. Guy Smith Jr., reported from the BitM office yesterday morning that full damage cannot be estimated until permanent re pair work starts. There may be damage to pilings that cannot be seen from the surface. The tug and its tow were going south, believed to be destined for Florida. The tug belonged to Bar bour Boat Works, New Bern. The tug and the barge arc now tied up in a canal north of the bridge. The company owning the tug will be asked to post bond to assure that repairs to the bridge will be paid for, before the tug and its tow will be allowed to proceed. Firemen's Meeting * Ten Newport firemen will go to the quarterly meeting of the East Carolina Firemen's Association Tuesday night at Clinton. Farmers Will Start Sign-Up Monday for Soil Bank County farmers will begin signing up for the acreage reserve phase of the soil bank program at 8 a.m. Mon day. B. J. May, county ASC office manager, says that all tobacco and cotton farmers will be eligible to sign up this year. Mr. May adds that unlike last year, there is no set amount that a county can receive. "We will take applications on a first come first served basis. As long as there is money in the federal budget for the soil bank, farmers can keep on signing up," he explains. Under the acreage reserve phase of the soil bank, a farmer can get up to $293 per acre for not plant ing tobacco or up to $63 per acre for not planting cotton. Minimums Set Payments arc determined by an average yield of the three best crops raised by a farmer between 1950 and 1956. The minimum pay ments are $191 per acre for to bacco and $46 per acre for cotton. Last year county farmers re ceived $73,552.92 from the soil bank. There were 121 tobacco farm ers and 24 cotton farmers who signed up. The conservation reserve phase of the program has not received the wide-spread acceptance accord ed the acreage reserve phase. "Farmers arc reluctant to lease their land to the government for a period of years," Mr. May says. No Sign-Up The current sign-up period for the conservation phase will expire Feb. 15. It has been running for several weeks and no county farm ers have signed up. The county ASC committee met Tuesday and reviewed new regula tions governing the cost of prc mcasurement and re-measurement of land planted in cotton, wheat, i tobacco and peanuts. Prc-measurement and re-mea surement rates are $1 per acre with a minimum of $8 per farm. ,~lf a farmer is found to hove an cVtM acreage of one of these crops the following prices will ap ply for the disposition of that acreage: tobacco ? $1 per tenth acre with a $5 per farm minimum: wheat?$1 per acre with a $5 per farm minimum; cotton or peanuts ?25 cents per tenth acre with a $5 per farm minimum. Mr. May pointed out that farm ers can grow up to an acre of pea nuts and do anything they want to with them. "If a farmer grows more than an acre of peanuts this year he will have to pay the min imum charge of $5 per farm to have a witness come see how he disposes of the peanuts," he says. "Many farmers grow peanuts for their hogs. It will still cost them $5 to pay a witness to come to sec that the peanut field is 'hogged off' and no peanuts arc sold," he concluded.

Stove Overheats A stove at Mrs. John Nelsons apartment house, 7th and J "her Streets, Morehead City, overheated at 4:50 p.m. Wednesday. Firemen j checked the stove and said that it was in good working order after j they cooled it down. Beaufort town fathers will hear opinions of citizens on re-zoning Cedar Street when they meet at the town hall at 7:30 Monday night. The town planning board has recommended that lots on both sides of the street (which will be the new Highway 70 through town) should be zoned for business. It is proposed that the first block after crossing the new bridge, al ready zoned industrial on the north side, remain as it is. Specific recommendations fol low: 1. Establishment of a building setback line 50 feet from the cen ter of Cedar Street, both sides of the street, its entire length. 2. Re-zoning of Cedar Street to a business district, to a depth of 110 feet north of the north right of way line of said street, and to a depth of 110 feet south of the south right of way line of said street, from its western terminus to Live Oak Street, except those portions thereof already zoned for industrial purposes. The planning board chairman, Halscy Paul, asked in December that the town board name two al ternates for the planning board. The town board, at its meeting Monday night, took no action. The board deferred action until this coming Monday night on a request by Esso that would allow easier access to the Esso station on Front Street. R. E. Riddle, spokesman for Esso, said that the town parking arrangement discourages motor ists' use of the station. Chief of Police Guy Springle and Clerk Dan Walker suggested that the two angle parking spaces east of the station be made into one parallel parking space and that the curb ing at the northwest corner of the station be removed to allow cars easier entrance from the west. Appearing with Mr. Riddle were C. V. Carriker and I.inwood Gilli kin. Mr. Gillikin operates the sta tion. Mr. Riddle pointed out that Esso invested $25,000 two and a half years ago to remodel the sta tion and since that time the sta tion has done less business than prior to the remodeling. lie said that lack of access to the station was one of the diffi culties. Morehead City to Move Chamber Office to Hotel The Morchcad City Chamber of Commerce office is being moved to the lobby of the Hotel Curt Ma con. The new location was given ap proval by the board of directors at its meeting Monday night at Dixon's Motel. Bud Dixon, presi dent of the chamber, presided. S. K. Hedgccock, manager of the hotel, has offered the southwest corner of the lobby to the cham ber, rent free. The committee, ap pointed last month to find a down town location for the chamber of fice, was W. B. Chalk, chairman, George Whittle and J. Morton Davis. The chamber manager was au thorized to move to the new office "as soon as possible". Moving expenses are not to exceed $100. The office is now located in the Morchcad City Recreation build ing. Town Thanked The board extended its thanks to the town of Morchcad City and the recreation commission for giving office space and storage facilities to the chamber during recent years. The directors said, "The use of these town facilities has played a large part in the success of the chamber and its many projects. In moving to a downtown location, the chamber expects to be able to greatly improve its services to the town, to its members and to the thousands of travelers who use its services annually." The board passed a resolution asking the town board to "assume responsibility" for the Arendell Street parkway (the grassed area on cither side of the railroad tracks). The resolution asks that the town furnish funds and labor to keep it in repair and develop it "into an attraction and asset to tho town of Morehead City." J. A. DuBois, chamber manager, read a letter inviting the Coast and Geodetic Survey to use the More head City area as a base for eight boats and 120 men. The letter in formed the government agency what Morehead City had to offer as an operations base. Ferry ? Missing Link Mr. DuBois reported that north south traffic on the All-Seashore Highway can go through this coun ty this year if a ferry links Ocra coke to Cedar Island. He said all work being done to promote the seashore highway is being financed by the highway association. The following budget for 1958, presented by Mr. Dixon, was ap proved: salaries $4,800, office ex pense $650, travel expense $240, telephone $350, postage $300, adver tising $1,500, industrial develop ment $1,000, debt retirement $1, 600 and petty cash $25, making a total of $10,465. Walter Morris, chairman of the membership committee, comment ed on the need for concentrating on industrial development and ad vertisement and publicity in 1958. The board accepted the offer of Josiah Bailey Jr., CPA, to set up a new bookkeeping system for the ? chamber. At the meeting, in addition to those mentioned, were P. H. Geer Jr., Mr. Whittle, Dltk Parker, Jack Lewis, J. D. Holt, Rufus But ner, Mr. Chalk, J. R. Sanders, and Mr. Bailey. Newport Board to Advertise, Sell Property of Delinquent Taxpayers Newport town commissioners voted Tuesday night at their meet ing at the town hall to advertise property on which 1957 taxes have not been paid and follow through with execution of judgments and sale. When the town advertised prop erty of delinquent taxpayers sev eral years ago. the commissioners derided not to issue executions or go through with the final sale. This year, the board says, the letter of the law will be followed and 1957 delinquents who do not pay their taxes will lose their prop erty. If not bought by individuals, the town will buy it and re-fell later if it chooses to do so. Collection Percentage According to a letter from the auditor read by Mayor Leon Mann dr., the town's next budget should be set up on only 64 per cent col lection of the tax levy, for that is the average amount being col lected each year. Commissioner Dick Lockcy said that persons have been complain ing to him that they pay their taxes, while others get away with not paying. The property will be advertised in the spring. Tax certificates will be issued, taken to the clerk of court's office in the courthouse, A Beaufort, and a judgment will be entered in the docket against the property holder. After a several months' waiting period, as specified by law, the sheriff will issue executions and the property will be sold at auc tion. The property may be sold for the amount of taxes against it, for less than the taxes, or more. The sale price is accepted or re jected by the town fathers. The board also passed a motion authorizing use of county tax list ings. The board reduced the miscel laneous item in the budget by $200, to bring the appropriations figure in line with the amount of income anticipated during the current fis cal year. Fees Set The amount of privilege license fees for general contractors was set at S10 a year; $7.50 for plumb ers and $3.75 for electricians. The board authorized ita attor ney, George Ball, to proceed with a suit to clear the title on the Campbell lot adjoining the pres ent town property. Commissioners okayed the erec tion of the remaining street mark See NEWPORT BOARD, Page > Temperature Drops Below Freezing Nearly Every Night Temperatures have been below freezing every night this week ex cept Monday night.
