Cfcriataas Party Peter Block, N. Morehead City, will 10* Stmt, be host at a ??? night* Come Tour Water Company Pumphouse in Beaufort... By BOB SEYMOUK A person exporting to find a maze of pipes and equipment 11 really surprised when he steps inside the new Carolina Water Co. pumphouse in Beaufort. The fire proof building contains three pumps, an auxiliary engine, a con tainer of liquid chlorine and a series of switches along one wall. Water company manager C. W Williams, who designed the build ing, explains that all the pipes are out of the way underground. The cement block building is designed to give plenty of space around the pumps for maintenance work. Directly over the 382-foot well and in the center of the building is a pump geared to lift 600 gal lons of water per minute. The pump moves water from the well into the aerator behind the building. As the water falls through the aerator, it loses its odor and taste caused by the presence of hydrogen sulfide. From the aerator, the water is pumped directly to the town water tank beside the fire station. A small pump shoots the correct amount of liquid chlorine into the water as it goes through the pipe from the areator to the storage tank. The tank holds 10,800 gal lons. This chlorine is the only chemi cal added to the water. In the event of power failure, especially during hurricanes, the system is so engineered that an auxiliary gasoline engine can sup ply the town with water. The auxiliary engine, coupled with the main pump at all times, can begin pumping at a moment's notice, Mr. Williams reports. When that engine is running water flows direotly from the well to the stor age tank without benefit of the aeration process. The problem of coupling two motors to the same pump was re sponsible for the delay between the time the well was drilled and the time it went into use. The en gineering problem was solved by Layne Atlantic Co. I.ayae Atlantic, which also drilled the well, put in 50 feet of stainless steel screen. This screen, along with the gravel packed in the well, makes it Impossible for sand to work its way into the wa ten -system Mr. Williams predict! that the well will continue to operate effi ciently for as long as 15 years. The well this one replaces was put down in 1951. Everything about the system was built for permanence. The floor of the pumphouse is solid con crete, the walls are cement block and the roof is a ^ inch-thick slab of concrete. The window casings and doors contain the only wood in the building. Mr. Williams tells an interesting story about wood in pumphouses: "A couple of years ago the pumps quit for what seemed to be no reason at all. After a lot of worry and work we found the caus*? ants. "Ants had infested a wooden block behind an electrical switch and some had crawled between the points. Every time the point! made contact more ants were elec trocuted. "Finally there were so many dead ants on the points they would not make a contact and the pump* weren't getting any power. I de cided right then that wood has no place in a pumphouse." Even though Beaufort residents have their odorless, sand-free wa ter, Mr. Williams stiO has a full time job on his hands. Laying new water lines and joining exist ing lines to increase circulation is a never-ending job. One job Mr. Williams does not have any more? listening to irat* customers about "smelly, sandy water." He says, "In this bus iness, as in most utilities, when the customers have nothing to ta J we presume they are happy. We do not expect (or receive) calls telling us how good th? service is."

State Ports Gain In Scheduled Overseas Sailings Work by steamship agents in Wilmington and Morehead City, in cooperation with the State Ports Authority, has resulted in five new regularly scheduled services for North Carolina 8tate Ports since July. This is approximately one new service each month for the latter part of 1958. These new services, which them selves generate new business for the state-owned facilities, have been responsible for the movement of many additional thousands of tons of cargo in 1958. A report to the State Ports Au thority offices in Raleigh, from O. W. Waters, vice-president for Heide & Company, steamship agents at Wilmington and Morehead City, shows that his company is respon sible for securing one new regular ly scheduled line since July. This is the Ozean-Stinnes Line. Their ships sail from Hamburg, Bremen, Rotterdam and Antwerp to North Carolina ports, and other South Atlantic ports. The service is fortnightly, and returns to Eu ropean ports listed above after leaving Wilmington. According to L. L. Doss Jr., traf fic manager for Wilmington Ship ping Co., his company is agent for three new regularly scheduled services. The first of these is a regular service from Germany which was established late in the spring by the United States Lines in addition to their regular service from London, Antwerp and Rotter dam. Wilmington Shipping's second new service is a regular monthly j service from the Philippines, For mosa, Hong Kong and Japan to Wilmington, and is operated by Daido Line. The American repre sentatives for Daido Line is A. L. Burbank & Company, Ltd., of New Vork These vessels load outward for Manila, Keelung, Hong Kong and the Japanese ports of Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, Shimizu and Yoko hama. The third new service for the company is an outward service op erated by Isthmian Lines from Wilmington to Alexandria, Beirut, Lebanon, Juddah (Arabia), Colom bo, Ceylon and the Indian ports of Bombay, Calcutta and Madras and the port of Karachi in Pakistan. In addition, they have added one more sailing on the inward service from India, Pakistan and Ceylon wirticlT gives the North Carolina State ports two sailings each month from Karachi, Bombay, Ma dras, Chittagong, Calcutta, Co lombo, Cochin and Alexandria. Isthmian Line, which formerly gave one ship per month from In dia. Pakistan and Ceylon now gives two ships a month from that area plus one ship per month outward to that area. A newly organized shipping agent, International Shipping Co., of which Philip Sullivan is vice president, has also instituted a regular scheduled monthly service. This is the Mamenic Line. Wil mington's new steel pipe for its natural gas service were recently brought in by one of the Mamenic Line shops. With >h? Arrwd Forcf Clyde Willis Promoted To Lieutenant, USN Lt. (Jf) Clyde P.

Morgan, Morehead City, who Mary Morris Bible Class Enjoys Christmas Party The Mary Morris Bible class of Atlantic Methodist Church met Fri day evening in the recreation room of the Scout Building for its annual Christinas party. The class presi dent, Mrs. Wayne Parker, greeted members and guests then started the fun by having each don either a green or red pixie hat. Each team chose a leader to write a telegram to Santa Claus. using the ten letters to start words. The Green's telegram was Send Andy, Nathan. Thomas, Ann, clothes, luggage, airplane, useful supplies. The Red's telegram wasj voted the winner: "Send Aunt) Nancy toys and clothes. Love al ways, Uncle Sam." Many laughs were had from a pantomime quiz. One could tell that tv plays ' * part in present | day living 'Down East'. Mrs. Stone, who recently moved | to Atlantic, gave a most helpful and amazing demonstration on t Christmas bows. She taught us to make beautiful bows for our pack ages. To auswer the age-old question and prove there is a Santa Claus Mrs. Dale Styron and Mrs. Mac Simpson debated the question. Their theories follow: Mrs. Styron. "Honorable judges, fellow citi zens, teachers, instructors, class mates and members of the Mary Morris Bible class . . . my job here tonight is to argue the point and prove to you that there is a Santa Claus. "First of all, who else could he wearing a red <uit trimmed in white fuf all tarnished in ashes and soot, with a broad face and a little round belly that shakes when he laughs like a bowlful of jelly? "Who else would come all the way from the North Pole In an old sled just to make the little children happy? "Why for there to bo no Santa Claus to please the children would be the same as a well without water; a car without gas; or a play without a cast! Think of the thrill of the little child who saw his mommy kiss old Santa Claus un derneath the mistletoe. Why yes, there is a Santa Claus. Who else would be kissing mommy? "He always cats the pie we leave under the tree. A mouse couldn't do that." Mrs. Simpson: "Honorable frfeacU, presidents, statesmen, broadcasters, gossiper*. aunts, cousins by the dozen, sisters and classmates, my opponent has told you the subject of our discus sion but 1 am here to tell you that there is no Santa Claus. "First of all? if there were a Santa Claus, he would bring gifts to all little children, not just the wealthy. That goes to show you who old Santa is. The idea of a Santa Claus!" Mrs. Styron: , "Why K was just the other night I saw old Santa on television. He has got to be real, t even read in the paper that he was in a parade at Morehead City and if I remem ber correctly I've seen him in our church once or twice." Mrs. Simpson: "He is a fake. He's got to be. No one can travel all over this world In one night even with the help of Mrs. Santa and the rein deer. "Why anybody could wear a red suit. They could even fall down the chimney, get sooty, and shake all oyer for that matter. "Sure, you've seen him on tele vision but that don't spell nothing! I heard a pig sing Frosty Morn." Mrs. Styron: "Why every Christmas old Santa reads thousands of letters over tv and radio. I know 'cause I've heard him. Could he do that if he were not real? Remember how he called to hii reindeer, now Dasher, now Dancer, now Prancer and Vixon, on Comet, on Cupid, on Donder and Blitzen, from the top of the root to the top of the wall, now daih away, daih away dash away all. Yes, he is real." Mrs. Simpson: "Yen, he's real all right, why anybody could sec that. Do we try to make our children believe that Pop-Eye is real with all his mus cles and spinach or that Superman will take them to see Santa Glaus on his magic carpet?" Mrs. Styron: "Old Santa Clans Is the true Christmas spirit everywhere. We. celebrate the birthday of Jesus at the same time that for our little ones we celebrate old Santa's com ing. It's both spirit, we might say, but if one is true why not the other? One is true for us the other for our children. Yes, I say, there is a Santa Claus. Mrs. Simpson: "Yes, you are right about the Christmas spirit, hut we make 100 much of Santa Claus, we should think more of Jesus, who lives and should live in our lives. Santa is real to the children. But have we done right? Have we lost some of the true meaning in this make believe Santa Claus? Mrs. Styron: "No, he is very real. There is a Santa Claus!" Here Mrs. Styron reached under a cover and pulled out a perfect Santa Claus which she presented to Mrs. Simpson. Gifts were exchanged and re freshments were served, a choice of punch or coffee and decorated light fruitcake.
