Rescue Squad
Recommends
Island Clean-Up
After finding two youngsters
over the weekend with live .90 cali
bre machine gun buileta, members
of the Beaufort Reacue aquad
strongly recommend that the Ma
rine Corpi send a detachment of
men to Radio Island to police the
place.
Virgil Woolard of the Beaufort
Rescue squad said that over the
weekend a youngster waa walking
along the street alinging a ma
chine gun belt loaded with live am
munition.
Whrn the youngster was ques
tioned about it, he said he got it
at Radio Island and "some other
boy, I don't know his name" had a
boxful of the ammunition that was
found on the islard.
During the recent maneuvers on
the island, rescue squad members
said Marines also made dugouts
which are now in danger of caving
in. They could trap youngsters in
them.
A Navy landing ramp is at the
south end of the island; a few
houses and a radio station are lo
cated there. Otherwise, the island
is a vast stretch of sand, which
apparently lures lots of children.
The Beaufort Rescue squad fears
that unless the island, located be
tween Beaufort and Morehead City,
is cleared of thinga like bullets and
dugouts, a serious accident may oc
cur there, or wherever a child may
take the bullets he finds.

selling mortgaged property and of
passing a bad check for $470.22.

return or pay for all the mortgaged
property in question and pay court
costs. He was also ordered to hon
or the bad check and pay court
costs on that case. He appealed
the second verdict and judge Lam
bert Morri* set his bond at $1,000.
