Qualified voters who want to vote in the referendum will have to register at the town hall. The registration books will Open at 9 a.m. Saturday, March 31 and close at 5 p.m. Saturday, April 7. Bal loting will take place from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday April 17. , Judges of the election will be Glenn Willis Jr. and Gray Hassell, residents of the area. A petition was received by the town board Monday night at the town hall, which Herbert Phillips, Morehead City attorney, claimed was in excess of the 15 per cent qualified resident voters in the area. At least 15 per cent is neces sary to call for a referendum. Mr. Phillips said that the petition was circulated by Reginald Adams. Mayor W. H. Potter asked Mr. Phillips if he was representing the residents in the area proposed for annexation. Mr. Phillips’ answer indicated that he didn’t know whether he was employed by them or not. He said he “didn’t represent myself to be.” Conjecture is that Mr. Phillips has been employed by one or two in dividuals opposing annexation. Mayor Potter estimated that the petition contained 35 signatures. Ronald Earl Mason, town clerk, said that by using the city direc tory, he decided that there are about 97 qualified voters in the “referendum area.” (Five signa tures on the petition were found to be duplicates.) Approximately 25 attended the board meeting on the second floor of the town hall. After the petition was presented, most of them left. George Herbert, Hancock Park, said he had heard certain people affiliated with the town were “run ning down” the Hancock Park sewage system and he thought they shouldn’t do it. He said the system is in good shape. Mayor Potter assured Jack Ricks that tiie town would work with him on correcting conditions at street ends. Mr. Ricks, whose land re cently became a part of the town, told the board he’s “bottled up.” Charles Phillips told the board that dogs are a nuisance. The mayor said that if Phillips could .iflenttfr "the dogs and swear out a warrSt for the owners, the con ditions would be corrected. At the suggestion of A. T. Bowen, a member of the zoning commis sion, Monday night, April 9, was set as the date for a hearing on zoning the new portions of town. The zoning commission has been asked to prepare a large map and explain to those attending the hear ing what it recommends. Dr. M. T. Lewis, chairman of the citizens advisory committee, said he had no report but he would like to know what the functions and scope of the committee is supposed to be. (The committee met last month.) , Mayor Potter said the committee is to advise the board on urban renewal, housing and shim clear ance. He said he would invite someone from the C&D community planning division or the governor’s office to come and explain to the committee what its duties are. Dr. Lewis, in a wry manner, drawled, “That may be enlighten ing but it may also be more eon fusing.” He asked, “Is this a standing committee; how do our terms run?” The mayor said he didn’t know. Dr. Lewis said his committee expects to meet again the end of this month or the first of April. In connection with urban renew al, the clerk reported that the land use survey has been completed but the town has not been asked yet to St up its share, $1,500, Ot the 000 the government says is need ed to launch the uthan renewal program.

Mayor Potter reported that the County Child Needs Blood A Carteret child who is being sent to Duke hospital, Durham, for an operation, under sponsorship of the county chanter of the Society for Crippled Children, will need five pints of blood. Mrs. J. C. Harvell. chairman of the county chapter, announces that the blood will have to be given at Duke hospital between now and March 28, the date of the opera tion, and anvone from this county who will, be in the vicinity of Duke is asked to go by the hospital. Ddnors mast be at least 18 and never have had malaria, yellow jaundice or asthma. Anyone willing to cooperate with the Society for Crippled Children is asked to contact Mrs. Harvell, PA6-5091, for further details. No particular type of blood is reauired in this instance. Mrs. Har vell said. To buy. the blood would be quite expensive. That’s why donations are being sought. Dr. David Farrior Talks To Beaufort Rotarians Beaufort Rotarians heard a pro gram on membership classifica tion at their meeting Tuesday night.

Geer Jr., Bob Mader and Fred Lewis. county had given the town a re strictive deed on its interest in waterfront lots between Marsh and Live Oak street. The mayor said the land would be improved by the town for recreational purposes. He added that private citizens are interested, as well as the town, in having spoils from future dredg ing used to fill in waterfront area. He added that no more spoils will be deposited in the area between Moore and Marsh as a precaution against shutting up of sewer out falls. Widening of Front street, a joint project of the town and Front street merchants, was discussed. The mayor said he was gratified “the resurgence of business” in Beaufort. Engineer Hassell was requested to check on a drainage problem on Marsh street next to the new A&P property. The mayor read letter from A. T. Leary of the B&M railroad. Mr. Leary said that work on the railroad on Broad street is expect ed to start between April 1 and IS, unless the weather is bad or the materia] needed fails to arrive. Possibility of changing the name of Craven avenue in Highland Park was discussed, because there is a Craven street also. No action was taken because the street is so re corded on the original Highland Park map. Commissioner Frank Morning said there is indication of “some support” from civic organizations concerning financing of Scout building operation. The clerk reported that the fur naces are in the library building but not hooked up. Forty-five win dow panes have been replaced, he added. The board authorized the clerk to issue warrants for 13 business men who have not yet paid privi lege licenses. The delinquent fees amount to $288.50. The mayor commented that a town clean-up program is being “pursued vigorously.” The chief of police was ordered to check up on property owners who promised clean-up but had not complied by March 1. Relative to the monthly fiscal report, the mayor said, “The House of Beaufort is in good order.” Officials attending the meeting, in addition to those mentioned, were W. R. Hamilton, John Jones iJr., Dr. David Farrior and Earl Mades. The “old city” section of Jerusa lem belongs to Jordan. It is a third of a square mile In area. 2ND ANNIVERSARY SALE! W •,_a ■' ..'

Gillutlh, Chatman of thd county Republican committee, said the delegation came home confi dent of future victory for the Re publican party. “The gathering or Republicans from all over the state wag the big gest and moat enthusiastic in many years,“ Mr. Gilllkin said, “and there was pleasing evidence of the The Comity Republican club at f:J» p.m. Saturday at the Army Reserve building, on highway 76, next to the Edge water Motor coart. hard work that has been going on in all of the precincts.” The platform adopted at the con vention includes planks on com mercial fisheries, state ports and waterways. The party advocates turning tax collecting functions of the com mercial fisheries division over to the department of revenue and law enforcement duties of the depart ment over to a “North Carolina Waterway* Patrol.” The platform advocates that tie Mate porta be self-etfpptrthtf, a ad that improvements be made when ever the iavestmeM can be insti led hp increased net Chmttgs. The Republicans advocate the en couragement of pleasure boating on state waters and urges that the state highway department recog nise increased boating activities to the extent that it increases clear ance under all fixed and drawspan bridles over coastal waterways. In his speech, Mr. Bailey pre dicted that the “quiet tide of Dem ocrats” moving into Republican ranks “will grew between now and November into a tidal wave thai will flush away the stagnation of Democratic party domination that stifles prosperity and frustrates the destiny af our state.” The speaker remarked, “When ever one party consistently domi nates the political affairs of any governmental unit ... the elected and appointed officials . . . grow insensible to the beliefs, ideals and aspirations of their constituents. “Secure in the assurance of re election or reappointment, the par ty leadership degenerates into a club-like ‘league of office-holders’," Mr. Bailey declared. He charged that the DemMTats, Hitting Hard at spendthrift gov ernment, Mr. Bailey said, “Unre strained by financial limitation and responsibility, a simpleton would have no difficulty hi providing lav ish services to the public.” Public service, he said, should be provided at minimum expense. “The failure Of the Democratic leadership in North Candida to meet this elementary challenge . . . is demonstrated by the rising trends of our municipal, county and state taxes.” Only the Republicans, he said, “can purge our political institu tions of the debilitating accumula tion of inefficient Democratic dead wood that has been insidiously pro liferating for sixty years.” The speaker scourged the na tional Democratic party by citing programs that the national party claims will solve problems but only makes them worse. ‘.‘In the name of prosperity the Democrats have increased the fed sstsesss: over 900 Mr. * spMfcer, a registered Dem ocrat, was e delegate to the con rcmwn a.a vui hiw vvunvj • Other a, in addition to Mr. Gilli kin, were Osborne Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Bennett, Mrs. Ken neth Putnam, Elmo Wade.
