f GIRLS, PIRATES, FUN TOMORROW IN BEAUFORT 82nd Year — No. 4$ Three Section* — Eighteen Pafre* MOREHEAD CITY and BEAUFORT, N. C. Friday, June 7, 1963 Published Tuesdays and Friday* Number of Marlin Exceeds 30 in Fabulous Tournament Submarine Makes Return Visit Cdr. Jay Ky Beam, USN, commanding officer of the USS Harder, is bringing his TANG elass sub marine into port this weekend in conjunction with the Marlin Festival and celebration in Beaufort. Mayor George Dill, Morehead City, right, and W. H. Potter, former mayor of Beaufort, left, greeted commander Beam last August when the Harder was in port. So many people swarmed to see the sub then that many had to be turned away. Also in port this weekend will be tbe LST Graham County. Both vessels will be open to the public from 8:30 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Visitors Banned From H. Hill Hospital Room toward Hill, Beaufort police of ficer who was seriously injured early Sunday morning on the Beau fort-Morehead City causeway, is still in Morehead City hospital and is not permitted to have visitors. Hill was injured when a V/2-ton truck, reportedly driven by John G. Simpson, Beaufort, struck him. Simpson is charged with assault with attempt to kill. The report in Tuesday’s paper, that the truck Simpson was driving was a pick up, was in error. The track belonged to Beaufort Fisheries and was taken by Simp son after he was unable to get his father’s car operating, according to the sheriff’s department. Simpson is employed at Beau fort Fisheries. He was released from the county jail under a thou sand dollars’ bond Monday morn ing. Exactly what happened in Sun day morning’s incident, causing the officer’s injury, probably can’t be determined until Mr. Hill can be questioned. His right leg is broken close to the hip. HU1 pursued the truck from Beaufort after it had gone through a stop light in Beaufort. A motor ist saw the Beaufort police car parked at an angle across the left front of the truck on the causeway shortly after 4 a.m. Sunday. U ta presumed that Simpson, who was driving, then hacked up to get around the police car. He reported-^ ly tried more than once to run Hill7 down and in one attack struck a boat in front of Sonny Lane’s mar ina. The boat traveled in a semi circle and ended up smashing into a window and the door of Lane’s. After Hill was knocked down, he got Simpson to call for help on his radio. Simpson did so and other officers rushed to the scene. Deputy Sheriff Carl Bunch said that at the time of the incident, Simpson’s father was looking for him, “because he knew he was drank.” . Simpson is charged with driving while drank, running a red light, resisting arrest, and maliciously damaging property owned by the town of Beaufort (police car), Beaufort Fisheries, and Lane’s. Someone Borrows Cor, ■ Returns It to Owner Erwin Adkisson of the Country dub section' reported to the sher fPa department yesterday that someone borrowed his 1962 Chevy H far joy-riding Wednesday night ind then returned it. Mr. Adkisson told deputy Carl Bunch that his car was at his bouse at 11:15 p.m. when he went out to get in it at « a.m. yesterday morn ing, bo discovered it had been dn The child day care center, a new phase of the county’s migrant min istry program, opened Monday Queen Street school, Beaufort^ Twenty-three children ranging in age from 2 to 8 were present. Purpose of the center is to care for young children of the laborers who are brought here to harvest crops. The Rev. J. P. Mansfield, chair man of the migrant ministry pro gram, estimates that 500 men, women and children are here now. More are expected this week. The migrant program, sponsored by the County Ministerial associa tion, ministers to an estimated 18 camps, some located in Onslow county. Children are transported to the day care centef in a station wagon provided for the program by church women through the North Carolina Council Of Churches. Mr. Mansfield said that the station wagon isn’t big enough to handle ell the children and volunteers are needed to help carry them to the center from the camps. Anyone who could help is asked to contact Mr. Mansfield, the Rev. Charles Kirby, or Mrs. Randolph Johnson. In charge of the center are Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Annie Parker, Beaufort. Their services are paid for with child welfare funds. The day care center will operate for fiye more weeks. Mr. Mansfield happily reported' this week that the migrant' pro gram has received a $7,600 federal grant to carry on its medical pro gram. In the past two years, the program has operated on a shoe string, but this year a new trailer had been bought. After the purchase, word came through that the federal grant was available. The money will be used to equip the trailer, buy drugs and supplies and pay personnel who may be needed in connection with trailer operation. Mr. Mansfield said that there are limitations as to how the money can be spent. It cannot be used for paying hospital bills, for ex. ample. Therefore, obtaining of the grant does not mean that the mi grant ministry program, financial ly, is in clover. “We desperately need funds for other phases of the program,” he said. Checks should be mailed to the Rev. Corbin Cooper, Morehead City. The medical trailer visits mi grant labor camps to treat the workers and their families who oth erwise would not be able to get to a doctor or buy medical care. County doctors accompany the trailer. On Monday night, Dr. S. W. Thompson is with the trailer; Tuesday, Dr. L. J. Norris, Wednes day, Dr. Herbert Webb, and Thurs day, Dr'. M. T. Lewis. (See MINISTRY, Pg. 4) By BOB SIMPSON Father Neptune smiled on the Morehead City Marlin tournament this week. By 8 a.m. yesterday, 30 marlin had been boated, the largest number in any tournament to date. By press time, Bob Kennedy, Raleigh, was credited with catch ing the largest number, three, from the outboard boat, Sea Hag, owned by Dr. Leroy Allen, Ral eigh. Dr. Allen was the skipper. Although the largest caught was 407 pounds by Milton Adler, Adler disqualified himself because he is listed as skipper of the boat, The Dirty Shame 111, from which the big fellow was caught. That puts William Griffith, Tren ton, N. J„ on u:e top, as of early yesterday, with a 325-pounder he landed Tuesday. The tournament officially started Tuesday rather than Monday as planned. The weekend’s tropical like storm threw the monkey wrench in things. After a report from the Wilmington weather bureau Sunday night, captains voted to cancel Monday as a con test day. This means the tourna ment will run through Saturday. They regretted it on Monday though. Six marlin were caught, one by Kennedy, two by the Dol phin with the J. C. Ellis party from Shelby, one from the Dolphin 1 by Dr. J. W. Hippie, Trenton, N. J., (See TOURNEY, Pg. 3) Man with Whale Of Problem Seeks Gov't Aid George Spell, Red Springs, prop erty owner at Emerald Isle, ap peared before county commission ers Monday morning to request $400. 0 Mr. Spell said that’s how much he spent to get rid of a smell. The smell was a dead whale on the beach about a mile from his busi ness places. He. explained that he had to bring old tires here from miles away, burn as much of the whale as he could, then push the' bones and ether refuse under the dunes. Mr. Spell said the whale lay on the beach for three weeks and was getting so malodorous that he was afraid people would be driven away from Emerald Isle. Appeals to the county health de partment and the Coast Guard for help got him nowhere, he said. The commissioners were sym pathetic but felt they could not legitimately. reimburse Mr. Spell for his whale work. Mayor John Costlow and Jdhn Jones Jr., town clerk, appeared to request the county’s help on a drainage problem by the railroad tracks east of Mulberry on Live Oak street. J. L. Humphrey, coun ty road superintendent, suggested that the town remove tile it put down, which was too small, he said, and see if that will alleviate the problem. Drainage problems at Davis discussed. A complaint was ed to the board from Howard son, Core Creek, who is drainage trouble. Mr. .said that the state corrected problem once, then Mason changed his driveway and the trouble start ' again.

B. McLean, developer of Cape Carteret, Bayshore Park and Emerald Isle. The land is located on highway 24 and on one side bounds the old White Oak school site, according to H. L. Joslyn, clerk to the board. Mr. McLean requested that if a school is not built on the property in five years it be returned to him. He also gave an option for an ad ditional five acres in five years, if more land is needed. Flovd Chadwick Jr. and T. C. Hyman Jr., Morehead City, ap peared to request permission to use the former Whealton property, which had been purchased by the county for a Morehead City school site. After Newport and Morehead City agreed to consolidate, the site was not needed. Mr. Chadwick and Mr. Hyman said the property would be used for Little league baseball activities. The program has grown so that present playing fields are too few. The board said the property could be used until it is needed for school purposes. The board requested that the Newport and Morehead City school committees each select one mem ber to work with 8. H. Helton, in coming school superintendent, on the West Carteret school. The Atlantic school committee, headed by Clayton Fulcher Jr., ap peared before the board to discuss consolidation with the Beaufort Smyrna school. No conclusions were reached, but the board of education favors the consolidation, should Atlantic wish to make the move Three applications for assigning pupils in the Wildwood section to Morehead City school from New port school were approved. Gordon Becton, chairman of the Beaufort school committee, and Roland Salter, chairman of the Smyrna school committee, appear ed to explain the desire for a road from highway 70 to highway 101 through the East Carteret school property. The men were authorised to con sult with the board’s attorney, Lu ther Hamilton, relative to obtain ing the right-of-way. Hugh C. Willis, who gave his res idence as Davis, requested that the board hear grievances from a group of Smyrna citizens. The board said they would hear the delegation at 11:30 a.m. Monday, July 1. The board fixed the pay date for teachers for the next school year as the 20th of each month, with the exception of the first and last months. Attending the meeting were Dr. A. F.

He had pulled the plug from the iron but apparently sparks from a frayed cord leaped up and caught ironed clothing on a wood chair afire. Scott went to bed, not realizing the clothing was smoldering.
