Manteo Boat Company
Shows It Can Be Done
There was some talk a few
months ago of transforming
Community Center into a
boat building plant for mak
ing vessels to be used in the
National Defense program.
Mayor Huntley and Secreta
ry Aycock Br.own of the
Chamber of Commerce con
tacted government officials
who happened to be here at
the time, seeking nformation
about what procedure to fol
low. The government offi
cials started talking about
small boat yards for every
community, and the Commu
nity Center idea faded into
the background.
In the meantime at Manteo
a group of interested citizens
decided to start a small boat
bulding plant for making de
fense craft. In less than a
month this firm hau a small
order for about S10,000's
worth of boats. It proved
that cooperation could do
even in Manteo a town, by
far more isolated than Beau
fort. The first order was not
the last. An Associated
Press report under a Manteo
dateline is reprinted below,
and The Beaufort News
wishes to congratulate those
of Manteo who are really do
ing things along this line.

SAFETY STORY
The release of several hundred
thousand a'ctive boys and girls up
on North Carolina streets and
highways as a result of the closing
of the public schools poses a seri
ous safety problem for parents and
motorists, Ronald Hocutt, director
of the Highway Safety Division,
stated this week.
"A good mottn for motorists to
adopt at this season of the year is
school's out watch out, the
safety director said. "And a sug
gestion for parents is this: If you
want your children to play in a
safe place, you should provide an
attractive place where they can
play at home."
Hocutt pointed out that even in
ordinary times there are great po
tentialities for tragedy when
throngs of carefree, energetic and
often thoughtless children are re
leased from school for the summer
vacation period, but that these
dangers are greatly increased at
a time such as the present, when
traffic fatalities in this state
are running nearly 50 per cent
above last year and the general
tempo of life and traffic is greatly
stepped up.
He suggested that parents can
help avert child traffic fatalities
by (1) providing attractive places
for children to play away from
traffi", (2) discouraging children
from visiting playmates out of
their immediate neighborhood un
less their parents or some older
person can prov.de them with a
rice or walk with them, (3) not
sending children away from home
on unnecessary errands, and (4)
helping children develop safe hab
its of walking, playing, skating and
cycling.
Motorists can help, he added, by
i) keeping a sharp eye on chil
dren who are walking, running,
playing ball, skating or riding bi
cycles in or adjacent to the street
or roadway, (2) trying to entici
pate sudden movements of children
and Ci) being prepared to stop
quickly in the evei.t of such move
ments. MARRIAGE LICENSE

THE BEAUFORT NEWS BEAUFORT,
Watch That Plunge
Is Warning Issued
By N. W. Federa'n
This spring and summer when
little Johnnie Jones, the average
American boy, takes his daily dive
into the "ole swimmin' hole", he's
likely to plung headfirst into any
one of several dreaded diseases.
This, in the opinion of the Na
tional Wildlife Federation, Wash
ington, D. C, an organization giv
en over to the protection of Amer
ica's i.atural resources, is the re
sult of continued pollution of
America's streams by sewerage
and industrial wastes.
Among the germs ready and
waiting for the first plunge of
Johnnie Jones and his gang are two
of the most deadly now facing civ
ilization. Scientists and medical
authorities now recognize the pos
sibility of streptococci germs and
"polio'' virus in polluted waters.
Streptococci germs are prevalent-
in bathing places, particularly in
I pools. Tfiis belief is tne result vi
an experiment conducted Dy ivaipn
France and James Fuller at the
Massachusetts Agricultural Expe
riment Station at Amherst, Masso
chusetts, according to an article in
the American Journal of Public
Health for September, 1940. The
experiment revealed that strepto
cocci germs were always present
when bathers were in the pool.
The number of germs increased
with the number of bathers.
Furthermore, streptococci were
found to be quite Tesistant to chlo
rine the germicidal agent gener
ally used in pools. In other words
the amount of chlorine used to pu
rify the water of the average
swimming pool does not kill the
streptococcus germ.
An even more startling piece of
news is the fact that the feared
"polio" virus may live in water
In the past, doctors have suspected
that the virus might contaminate
water and attack bathers. Thi.
was partially confirmed by the
New York infantile paralysis epi
demic along the beaches of Long
Island sound and up the Hudson
River in 1931 and 1936.
Then in 1939, an infantile pa
ralysis epidemic broke out in
Charleston, South Carolina, and in
Detroit, Michigan. For the first
time, Poliomyelitis was traced to
sewerage in 'that part of the city
where the disease had struck heav
iest. Recent studies by Dr. J. Emer
son Kempf and Dr. Malcom H.
Soule cf the University of Michi
gan, as revealed in an article in
the issue of Science News Letters,
August 3, 1940, confirm the fact
that drinking water and water
around bathing places may be a
means of spreading the disease.
Likewise, they claim that water,
chlorinated for drinking purposes
and for swimming pools, does not
kill the virus of the infantile pa
ralysis. Chlorine in a concentra
tion of five-tenths per million,
which is an amount in excess of
that usually employed to purify
municipal waters, did not inacti
vate the "polio" virus in one and
one half hours.
This means that if the virus gets
into ordinary drinking water or
swimming place, it would be capa
ble of spreading the disease for
one and one-half hours.
Officials of the National Wild
life Federation issue a warning to
all swimmers not to plunge into
sv.y p''il or br.thing place not ap
proved by the local health author
ities.
Federation officials also urt
bathers to he on the lookout for
pollute 1 waters! They are gen
erally indicated by strong odors,
dead fish upon the surface, thick
scummy !ter, particles of sewer
age disposal, nit from eroded soil,
acids eating away bridges and
dams, and wastes from factories.
Watch that plunge! Disease may
lurke under the surface of the
stream.

Large Sum Paid By
Ins. Companies I o
North Carolinians
North Carolina life insurance
policyholders and their families re
ceived an aggregate of $4,031,000
in death benefits from life insur
ance companies in the first quar
ter of this year, the Institute of
Life Insurance announced this
week. These payments were
on 4.647 policies.
Of these benefit payments,
i.'t. -Vii,.Vi u-ent. to worker

in
settlement of ordinary policies,
$199,000 in payments on group in
surance certificates and $579,000
in claims on industrial policies.
"The influence of these pay
ments goes beyond the immediate
families who receive them," Hol
gar J. Johnson, president of the
Institute, stated, "for a large part
of hese funds eventually find their
way into channels of local trade
and business. The flow of such
funds is a stabilizing influence in
the business life of every commun
ity, as well as a financial support
to the direct recipients of the ben
efits." For the nation as a whole, death
benefit payments during the first
three months of this year amount
ed to $260,393,000. In addition,
living policy holders received
$402,380,000 from matured en
dowments, disability payments, an
nuity payments, surrender values,
and policy dividends.
Payments on matured endow
ments, marking the successful
completion' of savings-protection
plans over periods in the majority
of cases of from 10 to 25 years,
amounted to $50,272,000 on ordi
nary policies and $22,150,000 on
industrial plicies, a ttal of $72,
