CKjr Officer* Help During the wreck on the Atlantic Beach drawbridge 8tinday morn ing, members of the Morehead City police force directed - traffic from Morehead City away from the bridge. It was impasaable. J. W. Sykes, highway patrolman, ex pressed appreciation for their help. (Wreck photo appear* oh page 4 section 3). Released this week by the More head City Chamber of Commerce was the above map showing devel opment potential of the Morehead City port. J. A. DuBois, manager of the chamber, points out that the shores of Newport River, 18 miles (see upper part of map) presents the most desirable growth area. This includes the area immediately north of Beaufort, along the intra coastal waterway and highway 101, then westward. While the area north of More head City, known as Crab Point, might seem feasible for industrial sites or warehouses, Mr. DuBois said that most of that area has already been given over to residen tial development. Replacement of the present bridge across Newport River at Morehead City is in the wind. Morehead City interests say they don't eare whether the bridge is moved north or stays where it is. If it stays where it is, the bridge will block port development, how ever, unless it is equipped with a span to allow passage of ocean traffic. It has been suggested by persons in the Beaufort area that Radio Island be considered as the logi cal expansion area for the state port. Radio Island is situated on the map between Beaufort and Morehead City and south of the B&M Railroad. Much of that land is continually tied up in litigation and persons well acquainted with the amount of land needed for deep-water in dustrial sites say that the few acres available there are lass de sirable than the shores of Newport River north of Beaufort and More head City.

J. D. Potter, county auditor, said that the county was under the im pression that in lieu of taxes on the project, Morehead City would get 5 per cent of the gross income from the projects and the county 5. The board decided to acknowl edge the letter and inquire by what authority the ECRHA was paying the total 10 per cent to Morehead City. A letter from R. D. Higgins, di rector of the Local Health division, State Department bf tiealth, in formed the board that a full-time health director may be available for the county.

Signup Slated For Soil Bank ? ASC Manager Sets Sept. 15 at Opening ' ? Farmers May Sign Then For Conservation Phase B. J May, county ASC office manager, announces that the sign up in this county for the 19*9 con servation reserve of the soil bank will open Sept. IS. Mr. May says the first step la the signup is for the farmer who is interested in the program to come to the ASC office in Beau fort and request that annual rental payment rales be established for his farm. At the same time the farmer should bring with him information to be used by the county ASC com mittee in establishing rates for his farm The principal facts needed, according to committee chairman Roy Keller, are acreages and yields of the three principal crops on the farm for the past two years and acreages for other land use on the farm. T.V conservation reserve is the only soil bank program available for 1959. Under the program, farm ers retire land from general crops for up to It) years and devote the reserved acreage to land, water, or wildlife conservation practices. The government makes an annual rental payment for the land and will also share in the cost of es tablishing the conservation prac tices. The average rental payment rate for conservation reserve land in Carteret County in the 1959 pro gram is $14.90 per acre per year. Maximum payment rates will be higher for the most productive farms and lower for less produc tive farms. For farmers who request It, the county committee will figure two acts of maximum annual rates, Cahirman Keller said. One will apply if only part of the eligible acreage oh a farm Is placed in the reserve. Another rate, 10 per cent higher, will be available it all eligible land on a farm is put in the reserve for at leaat five y?ara. After maximum rates have been determined for a farm, the farm er will have two weeks In which to decide on participation, desig nate land for the Reserve, and apply for a contract. Land may be offered at less than the established maximum to increase the chance of acceptance In case there ire insufficient funds to cover all offers. The deadline for signing up under the program Is Sept. 30. ^ NORTH RIVER x Sept. 3 ->? Mr. and Mri. Cedrio Beachem and Mo of Washington, D.
