rsc CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES l?" 47th YEAR, NO. 104. EIGHT PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30. 1958 PUBLISHED TUESPAY8 AND FRIDAYS 13-Year-Old Boy Struggles For Life Following Shooting Charles Lionel Klag. 13. Raleigh, la still in critical condition at the Morehead City hospital where be was operated on Friday for gun shot wounds. Charles and his fa ther, Glenn King, SI, were acci dentally shot by Ronald Paul Nor man, IS, of Merrimon about 9 a.m. Friday.

A NEWS TIMES reporter called on Mr. King at the hospital yes 1 terday and got the following ac count of the shooting: "Charles and I eame down for some hunting a week ago Satur day. We were staying at my cabin near Merrimon. We had gone hunt ing on Christmas Day and had hit only one duck. We didn't find the duck that evening and went back about 9 the next morning to find it. "We went Into the woods about two miles from Merrimon' and stayed about 10 minutes before giving up on the duck. Just as we were about to walk onto the road I heard a shot and Charles fell to his knees and said, 'Daddy, I've been shot!' "I had been hit, too, but was still on my feet. About this time Norman realized what he had done and he called to some hunters a short distance away. They came and carried us out of the woods and to the road. "Junior Tosto and Tobe Cannon of Merrimon stopped and put us in Tosto's car and brought us to the hospital. Charles was conscious the whole time we were on the way to the hospital. "Some of the hunters paced off the distance from Norman to us when he shot and it was 26 paces, about T8 feet. There are 27 shot in a Dumber four load and Charles caught 12 and I got three of them. "The other ahot could be seen in the limbs of bushes all around us. We think that the fact that it was number four shot saved our lives. (Number four is the smallest of four sizes of buckshot.) "Charles (a student at Josephus Daniels School in Raleigh) was worried about missing his school work. They won't let anybody in to see him but the nurses say he doesn't want to miss school," Mr. King, concludcd. Mrs. King came down from Ra leigh Friday and has stayed with her son and husband. She said that Coast Guardsmen and Ma rines have donated blood and sev eral are standing by In case more is needed. Mr. King operates the Farmers Market Restaurant in Raleigh. His brother is taking care of the bus iness. Mr. and Mrs. King have three other children. Linda Faye, IS, Robert Edward, 25, and Frank lin Maurice, 23. Sheriff Hugh Salter said that Norman is an experienced hunter. Norman was on a deer stand and the dogs were coming toward him when he fired, thinking that the Kings were a deer. The sheriff said there is no rea son to believe that the shooting was other than accidental. 7959 License Tags Will Go on Sale at 9 Friday 1959 Herns* tags will go on sale it 9 a.m. Friday at the First-Citi zens installment loan department, next to the First -Citizens bank, Morehead City. 1959 tags must be on all motor vehicles by Feb. 16, 1999, accord ing to the Department ol Motor Vehicles.

The meeting was at the First Bap tist Church, Beaufort, yesterday. Dr. Robert Lee Humber. interna tional lawyer of Greenville, and 37 ' associates founded the movement on Davis Island Dec. 2>, 1940 Dr. Humber said that the world haa seen an almost complete trans formation in the put It years. Changes have come, not only in scientific and economic advances, but in advances of thought along the lines of world federation. According to Dr. Humber, the only alternative to world federa tion is world war. "It is encourag ing," he said, "to see the number - of political leaders who are turn ing to world federation." , At the present time five nationa have, written in their constitutions, the ability to give up part of their sovereignty and accept government on a world-wide level. These nation are France, Italy, Western Germany, Japan and Hol land.

The polio-fighting organization is expanding into a broad new force that will tackle health problems on a wider I ont and no longer will confine its activities to a single disease. Initial new goals include arthritis and birth defects (congen ital malformations). "I am confident that the people of the county, who helped make possible victory over polio through their contributions to the March of Dines over the past 20 years, will give even greater support to the National Foundation's expanded program in the future," Mr. Paul said yesterday. "We would like to make it clear, as we begin preparations for the 1959 March of Dimes,- that the Na tional Foundation will not abandon polio patients." the director de clared. "We have a moral obliga tion to the patients of this county to continue to provide needed care snd rehabilitation, and wc will ful fill this obligation." Mr. Pail (tressed that while ao lution of the problems of arthritis and birth defects are the immedi ate new goals o< the March of Dines, the organisation also will follow leada as they develop in the fields of virus research and studies af the central nervous system. Special events have been planned to raise funds. Mr. Paul is a member of the First Baptist Church and has fig ured prominently in other commun ity activities. Three Injured In Wednesday Night Accident Freddy Wilson, WiUie Nolcn. and Eleanor Johnson, all of route 1 Beaufort, were injured in an auto accident at 10:55 p.m. Wednesday seven miles east of Beaufort on the Merrimon Road. Wilson was transferred Christ mas day to the hospital at Chapel Hill. Nolen and Eleanor Johnson are still in the Morehead City Hos pital. Patrolman W. J. Smith Jr., re ported that the woman and Wil son were in a 1949 Ford driven by James Earl Reels, Merrimon. No len was in a 19S6 Mercury station wagon, driven by Garfield Suggs, a Beaufort taxi driver. According to the officer, Suggs was parked on the east side of the Merrimon road, facing oncoming traffic. He had stopped to let No lcn out. Reels was headed north when be ran off the road on the right and smashed head-on into the station wagon. Reels, who jumped out of the car and ran, has been charged with hit and run, no operator's li cense, and carcless and rcckless driving. Patrolman Smith says Suggs saw the Ford coming toward the sta tion wagon and told Nolen not to get out. The injured were taken to the hospital by Rogers Murry, who lives in the neighborhood, and the Adair ambulance. Car Smashed Friday Night A 1956 Plymouth was demolished at 8:20 p.m. Kriday juat east of the Carteret-Craven line when tt turned over several times and hit a pine tree. The driver, Robert Lavelle, Ma rine stationed at Cherry Point, and his passenger, a Marine whose last name was given by patrolman W. J. Smith Jr. as Seton-Harrii, had bead injuries. Tbcy were taken to the hoapltal on the base. Patrolman Smith sak* Lavelle waa traveling west at a high rate of speed, and apparently lost control.

Babson Predicts Business , Finances for Coming Year Friday Paper Will Be Published Early Your New Years NEWS TIMES will be out early this week, as was the Christmas issue last week. It will go to press Wednesday afternoon and will contain New Year's greetings. Persons who have news, classi fied ads or other information they would like in the New Year's issue should contact THE NEWS-TIMES office no later than 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. The House of the Week feature and The Happy Times, news paper for boys and girls which usually appears Tuesday, will be in Friday's paper this week. The newspaper office will be closed Thursday, New ' Year's Day. Weekend Brings Heavy Rainfall Nearly two inches of rain foil be tween Saturday and Sunday nights. Weather observer Stamey Davis says that the 1.86 inchcs is the most that has fallen within 24 hours since Hurricane Helenc. Christmas Day was bright and warm, which gave youngsters an opportunity to get outdoors with the bikes and other playthings Santa had brought. The temperature has risen from sub-freezing nights to moderate weather with the passing of a low pressure system off the coast. The mercury climbed to a high of 61 Sunday. Maximum and minimum temper atures and wind direction for the week end follow: Mu. Min.

The house, owned by Mrs. Marie Ogles by, caught on fire in the living room near the fireplace. The fire was out in 20 minutes. ? 1. Not too good And not toe bad. Both the boom and the re cent recession will be awaiting developments following the re cent November elections. 2. 1959 will be a "do nothing" year (or Congress. Both parties will hold their cards closc to their chests until I960,? when the Re publicans will want good business. Most Democrats will vole (or most of the Inflationary legislation; but only a few of these Congressmen will vote (or such legislation over the President's veto. The Democrats will be in a dilemma. In their hearts they will not want good business in 1960; but they must be very careful not to do anything which could be held against them in 1960. Every act of Rockefeller's and of other leading Presidential can didates will be carefully scrutin ized to analyze their vote-getting possibilities for 1960. We will com ment on these possibilities in our Forecast for 1960 a year from now. 3. So long as Russia Is fear ful of China's loyalty, she will not intentionally start a shoot ing war. I hope that Chiang Kai shek will come to his senses so that China will become an ally o( the United States. Marshall surely bet on the "wrong horse" when he made his report to T ra ni an. 4. Our national budget will show a heavy de(icit in 1959. This and other factors should cause a con tinued gradual, although not dan gerous, inflation. 5. Serious competition will con tinue at all levels in 1959. Manu facturers, merchants, and others who reduce advertising and other selling appropriations will surely suffer. 6. Despite competition, the pro fits squeeze will Ik cased for many conccrns by strenuous cost cutting programs and improving business. 7. More foreign goods will en ter the United States during 1051. This especially applies to Ger man, Italian, Japanese, and Ris slaa goods. ~ S. New cargo ships, built in Ja pan, England, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and Italy, will be launched in 1959. This should result in most American-built and American-reg istercd ships operating at a loss. More subsidies will be demanded. 9.

Some big corporation, now lilted in the Dow Jones Aver ages, may get in financial difficul ties. 10. Federal coat-of living figurea will be disputed in 1S&S. Labor rates and wagea which have been tied to the Federal Tables will be diaputed by both Labor and Man agement. U. On the basis of the a bare statements, I forecast, m the average, no wide change la IMS for commodity priees. The re cent recession Is not over. Russia Is still fighting os with an eco nomic war. 12. There will be more strikes and labor troubles in IKS than in 1958. Due to fear of unfavorable labor legislation and poor business conditions, labor leadera were on their good behavior in lKt. 13. It is now difficult to forecast the unemployment altuation for 1959. Owing to the increase of auto mation. working forcea will con tinue to be cut. Looking ahead to the elections of 1M0, manufactur ers who are mostly Republicans, will wsnt no more serious unem ployment to occur. 14. Msny plans for expansion Of Plants were postpone* during for tw of a real depression. Some of these plans will be ex ecuted In IMS, slthough on a more moderate acale. There will be a need for con tinued economic readjustment in IMS; but the playing of politica by both parties may temporarily postpone it. 15. 1959 will not see sny marked change in money ratea. However borrowers who hsve not estab-i lishcd good credit will continue to find it difficult to get now funds in 1S5S. 1?. This means that It should be more difflcalt, on average, to sell long-term bonds In IKS than In ISM. Bay only ooncsllsble "rial bonds or bonds of res^ ably short maturities. 17. The supply at non taxable state, municipal, and revenue bonds will Increase during IMS. This be due bath to less read ily available credit and to rialng needs of municipalities. U. The "fly in the -ointment" will be the uncertainty of the federal policy regarding the new $30,000, 000,000 roadbuilding program. Will it compete with or protect toll roada recently built? I believe this program will not harm outstanding Turnpike Bonds. IS. Many invcatora will switch from stocks into bonds in 1958, thus obtsining both higher Income and better security. 20. As inflation becomes more serious, only short-term bond is sues?other than convertible bonda ?should be held to msturity. Bonds should no longer be consid ered good "permanent" invest ments unless they are non-taxable or convertible on a reasonable baais. ?. The heat investment policy daring IMS will coatiaae to he ? well-diversified port/ oils _ of stocks, short-term bonds, and caah. Every conservative lam tor will keep one-third of his portfolio liquid, to have rands available in case of a "lilts very severe drop la the stock ? srket, This will come some day. 22. As the 1958 Congress has not accomplished more in correcting abuses in the Teamsters Union, the 1859 Congress will do little to improve the Isbor situation. There fore, inveat in companies which will not be subject to strikes. Banks snd utilities probably arc the most nesrly immune. 23. The Taft-Hartley Act will not be amended, nor will labor's exemption from anti - monopoly taws be removed, until after the 1980 election. Labor leadera will get more and more power until? with Russia's help-they bring on ? real depression. ,to ""employment and Uie difficulty of borrowing funds for inatalling automation (auto matic factories), the mschinery industry will continue quiet during 1959. 25 I now see no probability that either wages or retail prices will be "fixed" during 1S5S unless Rus sia threatens World War III. M. Moat wageworkcrs will be more efficient during 1958, which should enable some managements to Increase their productivity and profits. .57..ExccuUve' wU1 *Uend mora strictly to business during 1959, reducing time spent on luncheon clubs, golf, etc. a- d halldlag laad aa the proper side of growtag cities will <?"*??? hi price Mt wKkrtaadlag a decline la sabar haa build lag.

Large commercial farma with lateat machinery ahould prosper during 1959; but amall farmeri may not do ao well. SI. Pending a serious war. there will be no radical change in the Government's (arm policy during 1959. >2. With leas fear of serious war, the real estate situation la the larger cities may Improve; bat municipal taxes will In crease. 33. Some suburban houses now owned by well-paid executives will come on the market in 1959, due to loss of positions or moves to other sections of the country. 34. Real eatate mortgage money will be tighter in 19S9 than in 1958. Furthermore, due to inflation, it will be worth lesa when due. 35. The demand for motels is Isrgely satisfied; but there will be an increasing demand for very modern apartment houses,? espe cially of the co-operative type. Old housea of all kinds will dcpreciato during 1959. M. Woodland will continue to be la demand during 1*59. This especially appllea bow to pine, which la used for the best lum ber, aad to sprace, which la used for pulp. Hold woodland la 19(9. 37. More Russian imports of pulpwood may be expected in 1959; but this should largely be offset by the increased domestic demand for cartona and packages for shippihg and displaying merchan dise. 38. Both timber and oil rcaerves of Canada will gradually increase in value. I am bullish on many Canadian and African investments. 39. The greatest factor In de termining the price of city land and businesses In general la the automobile and availability of parking space. This Is respon sible for both the boom In su burban real estate and the de cline af efty property. Baying Hay ml ?stoto without nearby parking facilities is a great mis take. 40. I was wrong in my forecaat a year ago as to the Dow-Jones Averages. Although many atocka aetl lower today than a year ago, the Dow-Jones Averages? especial ly the Industrials? aell higher. However, 1 will again run the risk and forecast that they will aell lower sometime in 1959 than they do today. 41. My forecast of the bond mar ket for 1958 was correct. 1 am in clined now to reverae that fore caat in the case of long-term non convertible corporate bonds,? that is, they should sell for leas some time in 1959 than they are selling for today. 42. I continue to forecast that high-grade, cumulative, lion-call able first preferred atocka will sell higher sometime during 1959 than they do today. 41. 1 repeat what I said last year regardlag "cheap" atocka: "The large fortunes made la the stock market have come from baying aoa-dlvMend-paytag com mon atocka at U.M a share or aader. These will be the first to reach a baying level." If you are to bay these low-priced common atocka, ya a ahould aeek com panies ?Wheal too mach prior debt or eamalatlve preferred atoek outstaadiag. They are the best r samoa stocks for "capital galas." 44. Convertible bonda ahould hold up fairly well during 1959. 45. The beat invcatmcnt policy for 1959 ia for one now to have a good bank account ao funda will be available to buy bargains when a sufficient break comes in atocka, bonda, real eatate, and commodi Ues. 46. There will be many failures in hastily organized electronica, nuclear, and similar companiea during 1959. 47. With twa or three excep tions, railroad atocka ahoald he avoided daring 1959 aad aatil a definite bag-range program of government aid Is assured. 48. For the steady income and fair marketability, well-eatablished utility atocka ahould be the best for conservative invcatora not look ing for profit. This especially ap plies to cumulative first preferred non-callable utility stocks. 49. The three handicaps to Amer ican business are the fear of In flation, the fear of union labor leaders, and the fear Of President Elsenhower's physical collapse.
