Editor's Note: The following
story has to do with certain
road funds which many counties
in North Carolina claim are due
as a result of the State taking
over county improved routes a
few years ago. Leader in the
movement to secure the refund
to counties has been N. G. Bart
lett, secretary of the East Car
olina Chamber of Commerce.
As a result of the passage of
House Bill 778 in the recent
General Assembly Carteret coun
ty stands a chance to get ap
proximately $300,000 in re
funds, same to be paid over a
period of 15 years, in yearly in
stallments, it is understood.
Such being the case Carteret
would receive approximately
$25,000 per year from this
source. The following story
crives details of what has hap
pened to date in the fight to get
the refunds.
Counties all over North Carolina

Bill No. 778 passed which authoriz

Last year about thirty turned out

games and little practice, that team
made a rem arkable showing against

Charley Parker ace staffer for
the News and Observer came to Car
teret this week to do a bit of water
front coverage for the Sunday fea
ture page of the newspaper which
he serves. Accompanied by Mrs. Park
er and their daughter, they stoppea
overnight in Beaufort at Ye Olde
Inlet Inn. Parker came to the coast
primarily to get a news feature ana
candid news photos of the S. S.
Wa.iristan now lavinff at the More-
head City Port Terminal taking on
cargo of scrap iron to oe consigns
to Yowata and Kobe m japan.
T a Hrirzlinir rain Tuesday morn
ing accompanied by Beaufort News
AvpAclr Brown the Parkers
went to the Port terminal and whiled
away an hour or two talking to
men John Llovd master of
the British vessel which in the words
of the ace-staffer is an history mak
er ftlnPA he is takinir on the first ex
port cargo at the recently construct
ed $2,000,000 port project.
From the 'monkey deck' to the fire
room of the craft and from the stern
to the bow went the newsman wiui
Cant. TJovd. In the chart room Capt
Lloyd explained the use of various
navigation instruments, tne radio
direction finder and the sounding ap
paratus. In the master's quarters
Capt. Lloyd talked about his home
folks and his home village, Wallasey
in Cheshire near Liverpool, homo
nfflre of Common Brothers Ltd., op
erators of three steamship lines, in
cluding the Hindustan Steamship
ping Company, of which the Waz
iristan is owned. The genial skipper
also told stories about this experience
at sea, about th time he was snip
wrecked in the Hudson Bay, and the
time his transport was sunk by a
German U-Boat during tne war. no
Alan told of his eight years in sailing
vessels before going into steamers
and climbing the ladder to a masters
berth.

"The Waziristan," said Capt.
Llovd. "was originally built in 1924
for the British Colonial trade in the
East." For the past decade, however,
she has oiled the north and south
Atlantic. He spoke of his last voyage
before takine on this scrap inis car
trn nf sprao metal from River Plata
in S. A. to New York with maize, the
English word for corn. "The Wazir
istan was named for an English pro
vince in northern India," he said.
Throughout the conversation and the
tour over the ship Newsman Parker
was snapping candid photos, many of
which will probably be printed in
The News and Observer next Sunday.
From the Port Terminal, the party
visited Dee Gees Shoo and selected
some of the fine photos he has made
of the vessel during her stay here.
Later Mr. Parker stopped in to shako
hands with his friend Capt. John
Nelson and then was shown over JN,

ed by a newsman he went into his
