County Board Studies Three Road Problems Two right-of-way problems and the Cedar Island road were con sidered by the county board of commissioners Tuesday. The right of-way problems were turned over to Alvah Hamilton, county attor ney, and the Cedar Island road question was put in the hands of J. L. Humphrey, county road sup erintendent. Moses Howard, chairman, re- | ported that a house has apparently been moved on a road right-of-way at Stella. The road in question leads to the White Oak River and has been improved by the state because it gives access to the water. Mr. Howard said that the hotise is owned by a Mr. Wetherington, who says he has owned the land 14 years and doesn't intend to give it up to the public. Mr. Wethering ton, accordnig to Mr. Howard, con tends that he has been blocked from access to his home due to people parking on the road after launching boats. Prentiss Garner, Newport, re ported that the llibbs Road lacks 200 feet of being maintained to the water and that a private property owner has put a gate up, barring access to the water. In view of the fact that (1) the road was dedi cated by a private property own er, (2) the state is apparently not : going to maintain it to the water, and v^) another property owner has appropriated rights to the road, Mr. Garner said the original owner is going to take it back? unless the situation is corrected. Monroe Gaskill, Cedar Island, said that an item in THE NEWS TIMES, July 25, 1958. datelined Raleigh, states that the Cedar Is land Road would be resurfaced to a width of 18 feet. He said the re surfacing job is a third completed and nothing has been done about widening the road. He wanted to know why. Mr. Humphrey phoned C. Y. Griffin, highway official at New Bern, and Mr. Griffin informed him that he knew nothing about widening the Cedar Island Road. Mr. Humphrey said that the highway release from Raleigh was probably in error, since the $35,481 appropriated for the work would not cover resurfacing and widen ing for a distance of 16 miles. The county commissioners ap proved a motion that the road be widened to 18 feet and made a primary road, continuing highway 70, from Atlantic to Cedar Island Beach. At present, Mr. Humphrey explained, the road is secondary and has no route number. Persons interested in construc tion of a ferry between Cedar Is land and Ocracoke have always referred to the road as highway 70. Nrwi from j CEDAR ISLAND Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Styron and friends of Vanceboro. spent Sun day at Mr. and Mrs. Styron'a cottage.

He is one of 600 Junior classmen from 26 colleges and universities to receive the training as part of their Naval Reserve Officer Train ing Corps program. Upon graduation from college he will be eligible for a commission in the Naval Service. Bond Issue (Continued from Page 1) makes requirements more strin gent than those set forth by the federal government and cited above. Moses Howard, chairman of the board, asked if the school sites (two large consolidated high schools are proposed ) would be selected be fore the issue were put before the people. Robert Safrit Jr., chairman of the education board, said his board had made no move to acquire sites until it was sure the county board of commissioners was going to put the matter up to a vote. Milton Warren, Newport, vice chairman of the Citizens Commit tee for Better Schools, said the committee would work with the county board of education on choosing sites. Mr. Joslyn said that the educa tion board was not in favor of com bining the school bond vote with any other issue. R. M. McClain, chairman of the citizens committee, said his com mittee would work 100 per cent to "get the vote out and get better schools for this county". Mr. Howard asked James Potter, county auditor, his opinion on the bond proposal. Mr. Potter said that the mere fact that the people approve a bond issue doesn't guar antee that the county will get the money. He pointed out that the county has a poor reputation on paying debts. The debt had to be refi nanced one time. However, he added, the debt has now been re duced to one million and the val uation of county property is MO million. He told the board that in the published notices on the election, it must be stated exactly how the money ia to be spent. If, after the bond issue Is approved, and Only a million dollars worth of bends can be marketed, "I don't know what we do then," the auditor said. In his ?pinion, the county it fi nancially able to carry a $3Mi mil lion indebtedness. In addition to those mentioned, the following attended the meeting: T. B. Smith, W. B. Allen, D. Ma son, George Wallace, board of ed ucation members; R. M. McClain, Dr. Ted Salter, Mrs. Elmer Wil lis, Dr. M. B. Morey. Gerald Merrill, and Charles Caudell, mem bers of the Citizens Committee for Better School*.

Time for the Beaufort 4-H clubs has not beeh let as yet, but 1 will let you know as soon as possible. I am looking forward to meet ing with all of you again. Many will move from junior to inter mediate clubs and from interme diate to senior clubs. And of course there will be many new faces in the junior clubs, those entering 4-H for the first time. The only sad part is losing the 4-H'ert that graduated from high school last June. We will really miss some of our most capable leaders. I would like to give fifth graderi and their parents a little informa tion about 4-H, what it ia and who can join. The Junior 4-H clubs include stu dents in the fifth and sixth grades, and any student can join. There are no dues to pay in 4-H. The only expense to you is what you spend for yourself. Every 4-H'er must select a pro Ject and what you spend on thia project may be considered an ex pense. But it la your project and any benefits derived are also yours, tf you make an apron, then It is your apron to uae or aell. If you raiae a pig, any profits afe yours. There are many projects for both boys and girls to choose from. Some of the most popular in our county are electricity, clothing, food preparation, wildlife, home beautiflcation, entomology, fores try, livestock and crops. County winners are selected each year from all the different project fmlds, and awards are presented to them at County Achievement Night. As a 4-H'er you will have an op portunity to attend 4-H camp for a week next summer. The cost is small, only $12 plus transporta tion. There are many other reasons why you should become a 4-H club member. You will have an oppor tunity to learn and play. Don't forget to bring your com pleted project book to the first club meeting. We had a fine meeting of 4-H leaders Wednesday night at the Carteret-Craven Electric building. Plans were discussed for the 4-H program for the coming year. Home Demonstration Newt Prospect on Food Prices Reported for Rest of Year By FLOY G. GARNER Home Agent So far this year we have heard and read a lot about the recession, unemployment, and the rising cost of living. The cost of food has con tributed to the increase in living costs. This was attributed largely to substantially higher vegetable and fruit prices and reduced sup plies of red meat. Cold wet weather and unfavor able growing conditions hampered crops in early 1958. Livestock slaughter was down from 1957 re sulting in higher meat prices. This has been the food story so far this year. Despite increasing costs of liv ing and higher prices on some food commodities, many food shoppers have been able to hold their fa mi lies iooa expen ditures within budgetary lim its. The secret seems to be a combination of food "buyman ship'\ That is, knowing what foods to buy and wh e n to buy fr ioy (i. Gamer them. This job is not easy, for in most cases it calls for menu plan ning centered around a variety of foods the family will eat and en Joy. Economical food buying re quires the knowledge of food grades, quality, prices, uses, sea sonal supplies, and future food conditions. The shopper who buys fresh vegetables during their season will not only purchase them when they are at their lowest price, but also when they are of best quality, and highest nutritive value. When buying fruit and vegeta bles a comparative check of the fresh, froten and canned forms and various brands will indicate which la the best buy on a per serving basis. Sometime* the best feature in a grocery store la not alwaya the most economical buy. (Tor example, spareribs may be a "special" it an attractive price, but allowing one pound per serv ing it may be cheaper to buy ham burger which will yield three to four medium servings at a cost of about equal to the pound of spare ribs. Figure the cost per serving on the desired quantity). A few minutes spent comparing food prices and yields can save amy. These are a tew examples stretching food budget*. The same principle* can be applied to moat fodd commodities. Although some commodities are mere abundant than others, ade quate supplies of all foods will be available for the remainder of the year. During early IKS, food prices tended to increaae from month to month, especially red meats, fresh fruit, and vegetables. Food prices for the last half of the year are dependent upon sev aral conditions. The current world situation may have a great effect on some food prices. If "shoot ing" action develops food price* would rise sharply. Both beef and pork prices have risen during the past winter ? and spring months, to the highest poirtt in several years. Although ne sud ?OT*- ? ^ SUMMER COLD TAKE ^ 666S den retail price decline is expect ed immediately, some beef cuts, particularly higher quality, and pork prices should begin to de cline slightly as the fall season ap proaches. The hog slaughter for July, Au gust and September is higher than during the same period last year. Retail pork prices are expected to drop gradually during the next few months. Supplies are not large enough to cause any drastic cut immediately in consumer pork prices. Cattle supplies have been build ing up and will continue to increase during the next few months. Re tail prices for "Good" and "Choice" grades of beef should de cline slightly for the remainder of the summer and fall. Since nip plies of fed beef are not ?*pfcjted to be extremely large, retail prices will probably decline slowly. Lower quality cuts from grass fed cattle will likely show a slight seasonal price decline as fall ap proaches. This smaller than aver age price decrease is due to a large demand for feeder cattle as a result of good feed supplies and cattle herd building programs throughout the nation. About four per cent more lambs are available this summer, and marketings begun in August are running two to three weeks earlier than usual. Unless beef and pork prices decline more than currently estimated, retail lamb prices will likely change little through late summer and fall. Broiler production is estimated to be about 12 per cent larger than last year. Retail broiler prices will likely remain high re gardless of increased production. This may partially be attributed to small supplies of red meats. Broilers are expected to remain a relatively low priced food com pared with pork and beef. Egg production will follow nor mal seasonal declines until fall when more pullets come into pro duction. Overall, more eggs are expected to be available than dur ing same period laat year. Milk production will be as Urge or larger than last year. ItM means plentiful supplies of all daily products for the remainder of the year. Summer vegetable supplies are Mrs. Linwood Brinson Begins Church Duties Mrs. Linwood Brinson, a life long resident of Morehead City, will become acting director of Christian education at first Meth odist Church, Morehead City, to succeed Miss Anna Crltcher whose ({filiation with the church ended Aug. 31 The church feels very for tunated In Mrs. Brinson's willing ness to undertake this Important task. Mrs. Brinson has only recently returned from Edenton where the Brinson family lived for some months. Previous to that, the fam ily had lived at Roanoke Rapids, N. C., where Mr*. Brinson was associated with the Sears, Roebuck Company and Mr. Brinson worked for the city of Roanoke Rapids. Mrs. Brinson has had life long experience as a teacher and offi cer in the Sunday School life. Her new position in the church as di rector of Christian Education will make her especially responsible for the youth work of the church. The Rev. J. F. Herbert, pastor of First Church, stated, "1 feel we are most fortunate in having Mrs. Brinson as director of Christian education. Mrs. Brinson served for some years in the First Meth odist Church, Roanoke Rapids, while I was pastor there. She was by all means one of the outstand ing leaders in the church in her dedication and ability for the tasks. I feel we are most fortunate In having Mrs. Brinson take Anna Critcher's place." Miss Anna Critcher has served the church for the past twelve months in the capacity of director of Christian education. She moved this week to her parents' home in Dunn where her father is pastor of the Methodist Church. The church is looking forward to the coming of Dr. Frank Cross ley Morgan to lead the Bible Con ference. Sept. 21-28, sponsored jointly by First Methodist Church and First Presbyterian Church.

He presented the mat ter to the board in August. Mr. Davis claims th?' a new home, constructed by Mrs. Ivey Scott, is on his property. He fur ther contends that the new home is being built with welfare funds and sits on county land on which Mrs. Scott pays no taxes. He told the commissioners if that is al lowed, he wasn't going to pay any more taxes either. Odell Merrill, commissioner, re ported that he accompanied Miss Georgie Hughes, welfare superin tendent, to Harkers Island, to check on the situation. He said the house Mrs. Scott was living in, prior to the construc tion of the new house, was not re pairable. He said there was noth ing to nail a board against. He further stated that in his opinion the Scotts are due welfare funds. Mr. Scott is in prison (he refused to stay in a TB sanatorium, ac cording to county officials) and his son, Leo, who lives with his mother on Harkers Island is af flicted with epilepsy. The "new home", Mr. Merrill said, is "nothing but a shell". Mr. Davis said that since Mr. Merrill we? there. It has had "$50 worth" .( wirU? thartracked. con crete porches gut OS ah3 "a man has graded the land". He added that taxes have not been paid on the property since 1930. "The county won't make her pay a tax, so why should I pay tax?'{ he asked. County Holds Deed James D. Potter, county auditor! said that the county has a deecj for the property on which MrsJ Scott's home has been built. ' fl Eugene Moore, county tax col-lj lector, said that the contractor whcfl put up the house had been ih thef tax office to inquire how muchj tax is due, "and I think he intends! to pay it and add it on to the! amount Mrs. Scott is to pay month-: ly for the house", he said. Commissioner David Yeomanst said his father sold the Scotts tjiej land on which the house has beenj built. Mrs. Scott, he added, brought" him the deed, and he checked on metes and bounds. In his opinion, he said, Mrs. Scott's new house does not encroach on Mr. Davis's property. He added that he has been in formed that the wiring in Mrs. Scott's house was done free and the concrete porches were put bn by an island resident and no charge made for the work. Commissioner Skinner Chalk said that he didn't think people should be allowed to use county property and not pay for it. Mr. Davis said he thought every one should "be made to do alike. If one person doesn't have to pay a tax, I don't want to have t. to pay". The matter was turpod over to i Alvah Hamilton, county attorney. , It yras suggested that the Scott | property might be advertised and put up for sale. Fuel kids VlU.
