Messages may be received and sent simultaneously over the outfit Full Force May Strike Garteret Gountv Area By AYCOCK BROWN Many persons today were moving from Carteret county to points in the interior in an effort to get away from the tropical hurricane which has been moving steadily north westward from far in the At lantic towards the North Caro lina coast. Ai we go to press hurricane warnings, two red square flags with black square centers are being displayed North of Wilmington to Man teo. Beaufort is geographical ly almost in the center of these two limits where the warnings are displayed. Carteret county reidents have not forgotten the severe hurricane of September 15, 1933 when thousands of dol lars in property damage occur red in this area and where five lives were lost as a result of the storm. And neither has the American Red Cross for gotten and today local chir men in Beaufort and Morehead City were mobolizing for any emergency that may arise if the storm strikes with full force as predicted. The following dispatch was received by Thomas Duncan, local displayman for the U. S. Weather Bureau in Beaufort at 12:45 P. M. today: "Change to hurricane wortv ings 12 noon north of Wilming ton to Beaufort, N. C. Ap- E roach of hurricane to Cape latteras will be attended by increasing northeast and north gales possibly reaching hurri cane force late this afternoon or tonight accompanied by high tides.

A total of 141 teachers were at their posts of duty. Of these, 114 are white and 27 colored, 34 of the total number for both races being high school teachers. The high school enrollment is a little above 1100, which shows a slight increase for that department last year as does al so enrollment for the first grade throughout the county.

Sept. 17 (By Telegraph) With the Beaufort area scheduled to feel the full force of the hur ricane now approaching from a point about 140 miles south east of Cape Hatteras, the American Red Cross has estab lished two disaster relief men at Elizabeth City to direct any rescue or relief work which the storm may necessitate, headquarters here reported to day. The men are Maurice Reddy and George Nyer. They reached Elizabeth City this morning, Red Cross officials said. In addition, all Red Cross chapters in storm area have been notified to stand by prepared to help out in what ever emergency may arise . . Weather Bureau experts de clared shortly after noon today the full force of the hurricane is certain to strike Beaufort. "The wind should be freshen ing in Beaufort now, with Un usually high tides running," they said. The storm is giving indications it will probably turn from Northwest to North Northwest by evening, and probably will not have passed over Beaufort until early to morrow, it was said. Storm Broadcast Carl Coerch and Radio Sta tion WPTF in Ralegih were standing by as we go to press waiting word from Aycock Brown on the coast for news of the storm movement. If and when the full force of the hur ricane strikes here WPTF will bring an outfit to toe coast with Carl Goerch rs announcer to broadcast an eye witness de scription of storm destruction. Goerch communicated by lon distance telephone in this con nection with Brown today. He Made The Safe Beach Surf Safer LeRoy Guthrie Sun-bronzed LeRoy Guthrie of Morehead City official lifeguard of Atlantic Beach for the past several seasons made an unusual record this year when he saved the lives of sev eral persons who ventured too far into the surf and could not get .back without assistance.

(Continued on page eight) FIRE DESTROYS PERKINS PLACE Fire of unknown origin completely destroyed the old Perkins hjmeplace near North River in the country a few miles east of Beaufort today. At one time this was the most mod ernly equipped estate in the county. Mrs. Caroline Perkins of Rochester, N. Y. had the home constructed a bout 20 years ago at a cost of ap proximately $17,000. The home con tained at that time many modern improvements which ones in Beau fort did not have. The house was elaborately furnished. At the death of Mrs. Perkins, Huntley and Han cock bought the place. George Hunt ley and his family lived there for several years, later trading the place to George Brooks who with his fam ily occupied the house for several years. Tied up in the remaining as sets of the Bank of Beaufort, the place was acquired by a Mr. Hoft les? than a month ago. It could not be learned whether any insurance was carried on'the house as this story was written. It was s to be un occupied at the time it" caught fire this morning. i X i ' Major Ralph Millis Of Engineering Corps Presides MANY BRIEFS ARE FILED Over 400 persons representing c )mmunitles in eastern Carteret coun ty Beaufort and Morehead City at tended a hearing conducted by Major Ealph Millis of the U.
