Phone 6-S620 C t ; "Cliff" Edward* *?* house designs was responsible for , its creation. Heretofore, Architect Herman , H. York says, conventional loca tions for a recreation room or family room in ranch homes have ' been either the basement or, more recently, those areas adjoining the ' kitchen, dining room or living room. To lift this room from its con ventional setting and place it in a position of greater utility, the architect incorporate'' some struct ural techniques of split level plan ing into- a basic ranch design. From tbis combination came a studio room, located over the gar age. High above the ground level, the studio or family room has a cathedral-type window wall ar rangement, a wood'burning fire place. a built-in bar and liquor cabinet and a high cathedral ceil ing. Studio on Separate Level By creating a higher but uniform roof line and locating the garage several risers below the main liv ing levol, the architect was able to achieve a split level structure above the garage and the main living area. Tlua arrangement puts the studio room on a seperate level, half a story above the main living quart ers. The arrangement alio pro vides an exDtnslon area on this level. The architect believes Ms plan ning has resulted in "on* of the moat interesting innovations in ranch design in recent years." The expansion area includes two extra bedrooms, four additional closets and a third bath. Located as if is away from other areas of the house, the studio mom could be used for a variety of ac tivities? by children as a recrea tion room, by teen-agers for par ties and games, and by adults for j both informal and formal enter | tabling.

OART?R? T CONCRETE, How Carteret County Had Its 18th Century Beginning Br P. C. SALISBURY v tl It is Uie dawning of the 18th cen tury. The reign of Queen Ann ia ,) drawing to I close. I From out o< that small group 1 I of precincts known as the Albe- 1 marie, there came the colony of ? North Carolina, extending from the Virginia border to the Cape Fear o River, and from the Atlantic to y the Pacific Oceans. fc The precinct of Bath was laid ' out and a town by that name es P lablished in 1704. This settlement became the first incorporated town ( and port of entry in the new pre- a cinct. l! A year following the laying off e of this town, the precinct was di- ? vided into three counties. First known as Wickiiam, Archdale and Pamlico, the names of these coun- J1 ties, about 1712, were changed to . Hyde, Craven and Beaufort. It was not until ten years later, in 1722, that Carteret County was , set off from Craven, being named ^ in honor of Sir John Carteret. Earl r of Granville, one of the eight Lords j, Proprietors. First Ventures t, During the early years of the century, emigration had started c southward, seeking Dew lands and , adventure. First to venture into j the new and unexplored territory t were hunters, trappers and fisher- 0 men, worked their way down, rivers and sound* until they v reached (he shore of the mighty n waters of the Atlantic. These adventurers were followed u by 9turdy men and women, some s coming by water, others beating 0 their way over unbroken Indian trails, to reach the new land lying v to the south. S D?y followed day as these mi- e grant! rumbled along roads and v trails, their cart wheels creaking, t! their lean nags or bony oxen s trampling the dusty trail south- f< ward. Others came in crude sail ing craft or by rowing or paling t their way. C Ahead of them was the land it- P self, rolling in vast gentle waves a under a clear sky; great pines, '' mostly, with a sprinkling of hard- 1 woods, brown matted needles and f leaves underfoot; there was the c great stretch of sand, a golden s border on the water, to meet many c at the end of their long trek. ?> Indian Tribes Early comers in the new terri tory encountered three tribes of a Indians in the section that was " to becoraa a new county. They J were the Hatter as, a tribe friendly 1 toward the whites, having their setlemenl on Hackers Island and Shaokleford Banks. The Core*, later to become ene- j ?lies ef the settlers, lived along Q the shore o( Core Sound! This body [. sf water is named for them. An o- _ ther tribe, the Neu*e, after which >j Neuse River was named, had two ? villages in the northwest part of _ the Merrimon township where !, Adams Creek aad. Neuse River meet. <> Along the rivers and sounds sprang up ?rt*U camps of tha early g fishermen, hunters and: traders, v many of such camps to become p the sits o ( small present-day setr fi tlements. The first settlement to tl be BM>?d and recorded in early p history is Fish Towa, later re- tl named Beaufort and made the 0 county seat. & First knonm as Uniting Quod- a ters, for it bordered on that vast Indian domain of banting and flab- b lng, is the town of Atlantic. At ti that: point was located one of the p first fishing camps along the coast, I to bscome a shipping point, latar, b of salted flak and bides to the 1 warehouse at Portsmouth for ship- il ment to the Old Country. Down through the yeaia, Atlantic baa b maintained^ a reputation, a* a sear V food shipping center. c Water 'Beads' 'f The highways of those early days 1 were the waterways of the new J county. Along their shores large * acreaf? was oMaiqed by grants J or purchases. Bven today it is 1 said that any settlement in the ' county can be reached within one mile by some navigable stream, t The outbreak of the Indiap war ' in Mil, known as the Tuscarora ? Massacre, killed off most of the f settlers along the eastern coast. ? Vmw an* Nam tabes ft* l swcral yaar? ?*r* at odds with c U>a white hMntan and Made* far ? taking more than a fair ahare of t game from their Hunting Quarter. When, the Tuacarora rose in arms, v these two trii?s ware only too < filling to avenge themselves for he wrongs of the whites. It was the Equinox of 1711. In ians from five tribes gathered oa ndian Island in the mouth of Pam ico River for their war dance and hen taking canoes, started their ttack on the settlers. This war retarded the growth >f this section for the next few ears, although the Indians had ?een brought under subjection, ither driven farther weat or ?laced on reservations. By 1722, when the precinct of 'arteret was set off from Craven, nd Beaufort named and estab* ished as the seat of county gov rnment, a greater impetus was [iven to new settlers. It was then hat groups of families worked heir way down from the upper ?recincts and farther north, by rail or water, seeking new land, reedom of worship, and adventure. Mixed Stock Little is known about these set ters who came into the county. *hey were a mixed stock of Hugue lots, Germans, Scotch - Irish, 'rench, English and Quakers, as aried as the histo'ry of the county las been. The Scotch Irish gave to the ounty its first educational advan ages. The Huguenots came from 'ranee by way of the West Indies, stablishing themselves as ship wners and traders. Although families of Quakers fere well established in the Albe uarle precinct, most of this sect oming into the county in 1721 fere from Rhode Island. They ettled mostly along the north side f Newport River. Prominent among the families rere the Stantons and Bordens. itantons became large land own rs and planters. The Bordens rere craftsmen, building some of he finest schooner* that ever ailed out of the Port of Beau ort. By the middle of the 18th cen ury, as the land in the eastern iart of the county and along New ort River became occupied, new rrivals began pressing westward o the shores of the White Oak liver, which eventually became he western boundary of Carteret 'ounty. After the formation of On low County in 1734 from part of Graven and Carteret, Swansboro ecame a port of entry Trading Center At the head of Newport River, settlement known as Bells C#r er, then SbepardviUe and later, lewport, became the largest trad-, lg center in the western section. Some historians give credit to le Quakers, coming from New ort, Rhode Island for naming the iver and town. However, In early eeds registered before the coming f the Quaksri, description of the ind about Newport and the river arry the divided name, New Port, liis might indicate that the place 'as a shipping point and river ort, known to shippers as a new ort at the head of the river, to istingoiih it from the Port o t teaufort.
