V7iii Summer Comes Polio
The first infantile paralysis cases in the county were report
ed! to the health office Saturday and there are other instances
'."where the disease ta suspected.
; Dr. N. Thomas Ennett, health officer, stated, however, that
there is no reason for parents to become panicky, and although
" the outbreak of polio this year has started several weeks earlier
than usual, Philip 9. Randolph, state representative of the Na
tional Foundation, for Infantile Paralysis says the State" is far
better 'prepared for a seVcre polio epidemic than when the 1944
outbreak occurred.
At this time last year there were only 22 cases In the State
and at present the number is half of the total for 1944.
Although the medical profession cannot give specific do's
and don'ts in regard to preventing polio, there is basis for belief
V that overfatigue and chilling of the body make a child or adult
more susceptible to the disease.
:; : As for swimming, Dr. Ennett said that there is more likeli
. hood of disease germs being picked up in still bodies of water,
" such as swimming pools or lakes. Doctors and scientists agree
that water such as we have here, constantly moving and being
"sterilized" by wind and sun Is no harborer of disease.
Polio is one of the most serious maladies of our modern
age. Money obtained from the March of Dimes is being used to
seek the cause of it, but whether infantile paralysis can never
be conquered by inoculation, as in the case of smallpox, remains
to be seen. Science has gone J long way in fighting polio in that
numerous ways have been found to restore victims to health.
Actually, the best advice parents can follow while polio
1 rages is to keep children in the best physical condition possible.
. Few disease germs of any type can take hold then, and if thpy
should, the victim will have necessary resources to fight them.
Donkeys Played Ball
There Was a laugh a minute Thursday night at the Donkey
Baseball game.
Somebody said that the whole playing field had nothing but
jackasses on it, but that's not true. There were only 12 donkeys,
distinguishing feature between them and the other players being
that they had four legs.
The donkeys were healthy-looking critters and quite a few
' of them full of the old Nick. Whan we first heard about the
proposed entertainment, nothing but broken-down burros ready
for the glue factory were expected.
The donkeys and the Lions got along right well. The Ilee
.., Hawefs carried the Lions to a 94 victory over the Donkey Sere
naded. Maybe Joe Rose, Jr., neWly-etected Tail Twister in the
civic organization, did a bit of donkey tail twisting before the
'. first iftniag, letting the burros know who was boss. '
The Lions certainly hate done their share in providing en
' ' tertainmeht this year. The whole county enjoyed their talent
hunt. It's too bad all of us couldn't have seen" their donkey ball
- game.
Thoughts for an open mind..
Worry is friction. Inactivity is rust. Both gradually destroy the
bunian machine.
There is only one failure in life possible, and that is not to be true
to the best one knows.
Jadge no man until you have stood In his place.
The place for the knocker Is outside the door.
When one's motive is apart from greed and sense gain, and when
.one's aim is toward some work of value to his race and instead
"'" of toward some benefit or accumulatloa for himself, he cannot
escape success, because it follows inevitably, but the moment the
! . motive is degraded and It's intentive power points, ever so slight
r : ly, toward money or fame or any sort of personal possession, the
. Work Itself becomes degraded, or lacking In magnetic power
Every man must educate himself. His books and teacher are but
7: , helps. The work Is his'.

man's service records in 1947.
Noting conflicting evidence of tu
berculosis during war service, he
requested a district officer of the
Commission to contact the veteran
and have him file a claim with
the VA. When service-connection
wag finally granted it was retroac
tive to August, 1947 the date the
Claim Was received. Had It been
filed in 1919 the veteran would
have been richer by almost $18
000.
Created by legislative act to
serve veterans of all wars in North
Carolina, the State Vetcfans Com

Building activities for the month
of June as totaled from the per
mits issued by A. B. Roberts, build
ing inspector, amount to en-estimated
cost of S31.200 ns against
$7,500 for the preceding month.
New dwellings, under construction
and contracted for, show a cost
total of $27,85Q.0Q0. Of this amount
$20,000 covers the estimated cost
of the new home being built by A.
T. Leary on Evans street and the
First Christian church on Bridges
street at $6,000.
Other items under new construc
tion" are three small homes and a
small store. Additions and repairs
to several homes and the Texnco
dock amount to $3.350.00.. The
Texuco company spent SI .BOO re
pairing dock which includes an
addition to the club room on the
dock with shower baths and other
comforts for boat owners who are
serviced at this liock. The S.iilinj;
Club of the city who have the eilv
dock under lease are having the
same repaired so as to make it
safe for the schedule for boa", ra

Prospective buyers of new cars
stood on the waterfront Wednes
day afternoon- and watched a
barge load of new cars pass on
to some point south by the in
land waterway. They were said
to be Fords and the number was
estimated as over one hundred.
The tew and barge tied up at the
Newport river draw awaiting a
flood tide before attempting to
pass through.
We take our hat off to M. Leslie
Davis of Beaufort when it carries
to knowing the historical facts
about Carteret county and iis peo
ple. It is impossible to stump htm
for an answer to most questions
one might ask him regarding past
history, especially about the old
timers who have passed from the
memory of most people. We wan
dered about the old Ann street ce
metery in Beaufort with him a few
days ago, getting the high lights
abouts the persons buried there,
from a one-armed colored servant
of the War of "61," to those of
higher rank in both civil and mili
tary service.
Announcement has boe.i made
that the local sailing club will hold
the 91st annual sailboat racing on
July 4th. Let's go back to the year
1857 and see what was going on
in this region about that date, and
try and figure out who might have
taken part in such races at that
time. Morehead CHy had not been
established until August of that
year so we doubt If Gib Willis, D.
G. Bell, Thurlaw Whealton or Char
lie Nelson were hanging about
Shepard's Point to challenge all
comers.
There were such old timers as
Absolon Shepard, William Fisher,
Rev. Brldgers Arendell and John
Morehead. Now some of these old
boys might have had a sharpie or
comet and fixed up a sailing race
but we doubt it . very much. We
find no such record in the early
history of the town. However we
are willing to let the record nana
that the Morehead City Sailing
Club has sponsored sailboat racing
for the past 91 years.
Ottig Purifoy is out to let the
public know that he conducts a
fish house and no mistake, for
he has had painted On the front
of his building as well as on the
WaUa of his retail market, repro
ductions ( what one may expect
to get from the briny deep. The
nautical effect on the outside of
the building shows a large red
sea bouy In one panel and a blue
marlia (wo guess) In another pa
nel. Ottla says If (hey are in
the sea, be or his men gets 'cm.
When it comes to reminiscences
and culling one's mind of events
of long ago we admire the ability
of Thomas H. Carrow, who has
been running a series of historical
sketches in the News-Times for the
past four issues, to recall such
events and names as be is abrerto
do. It would be a fine thing if a
county historical society could.be
formed to record and place on me
the many interesting facts that
crop out from time to time from
the memory of such men as Mr.
Carrow and Mr. M. L. Davis, we
suggest that-such a society be
formed. - ;'
One notices very few cars "with
blue stickers on the windshield to
indicate that the car has been
through the state inspection lane.
A report from the inspection div
ision states that only 231,243 cars
out of the state total of 859,771
have been through the lanes.
Five new business ventures open
ed In this city and vicinity the past

main spotlight. In the Camp Glen
section the Ocean Park outdoor
movie opened on the night of the
4th. In the business section of the
city the Betty-Jay Shop, dealing
in womens and misses .garments
opened in the location next to the

Youth Cepter, catering to clothing
for the youngsters and teenagers,
occupies the store space recently
vacated by Masons. Then there is
the Book Nook tucked away iruthe
basement shop at the corner of
10th and Arendell street. It is a
most attractive Nook with a sort
of Greenwich Village atmosphere.
Last summer a number of the
older members of Camp Morehead
put on a revue entitled "Naughty
Nineties" which was called a big
success by all who witnessed the
presentation. By popular request
this revue will be given by the
same group of boys at the Roda
Theatre on Friday and Saturday
night of this week in connection
with the weekly run of films. The
cast of twenty boys give a delight
ful program of songs and dances.
No Man's Land a term used
during World War I dates from
the fourteenth century, when No
Man's Land was a piece of waste
ground outside London, often used
for executions.
