Beaufort Mayor
Greets President
Mayor L. W. Hassell of Beaufort
agrees that Harry S. Truman is
just a "plain man" after he and
Mrs. Hassell shook hands with the
president on his arrival at Cherry
Point Sunday.
"He was the happy-go-luckiest
man there, just going around
shaking hands with everyone pre
sent," Mayor Hassell said, adding,
"He was cordial to me."
Mayor Hassell related that he
has never received greater court
esy in his life than was accorded
him by Brig. Gen. Ivan W. Miller
and other personnel at the Marine
air base in arranging for him to
greet the president.
"We've been waiting for you."
an officer told him at the gate
v hen he arrived Sunday morning.
Gen Miller had told him Satur
day night. Mayor Hassell said, that
secret service men had their.
orders and no civilians were to
be admitted, but to come to the
main gate at 10 a.m. with his
credentials and the general would
leave word for him to be admitted.
The officer not only greeted him
at the gate but provided an escort
which led him directly to the place
where the presidential plane later
parked.
After the motorcade left for New
Bern, Mayor Hassell said, the
Cherry Point provost marshall per
sonally escorted him back to the
gate. Mayor and Mrs. Hassell were
among about a dozen civilians who
were permitted to be where the
plane parked. Dr. H. F. Prytherch
was also present Mrs. Hassell was
the only woman to shake the pre
sident's hand and welcome him
to North Carolina. "
Mr. Hassell said to the president,
"I am a mayor of a North Carolina
town and I welcome you to the
state of North Carolina."
Mr. and Mrs. Wiliam Fulcher,
of Beaufort, RFD., drove the Has
sells to the airfield. In the car
also was Mrs. Helen Whitley, of
Morehead City.
Little Ann received a special
handshake from the President
After he had gotten into a li
mousine which was preparing to
depart for New Bern, Mrs. Fulcher
took Ann to the side of the car
where he was sitting and sought
to get his attention.
"You can't do that," a secret
service man standing nearby told
Mrs. Fulcher.
But Mr. Truman overheard, roll
ed down the window and declared
"Yes, she can!' He then shook
hands with the little girl.
Dan Walker, manager of the
Beaufort Chamber of Commerce,

one dollar per month for rural bu
siness phones and 75 cents monthly
for rural residences.
The Beaufort Chamber of Com
merce position was neither for nor
' against the petition. Mr. Walker
stated that he was merely inquir
ing as to the effect that the pro
posed increase would have on per
sons N net not receiving telephone
service who desire it.

plied, at the commission's request
that at present they are doing all
within their, power to supply ser

I was among a handful of news
men, Civilians and Marine officers
who greeted President Harry S
Truman at the Cherry Point Ma
rine air base when his private
plane, the Independence, landed
there Sunday morning at 10:30
a.m.
The president stopped en route
from Washington to Key West,
Flu., to renpy a visit from the Rev.
Thomas W. Fryer, pastor of the
First baptist church of New Bern
by worshipping at his church.
When Mr. Truman stepped
through the doorway of the Inde
pendencc after it taxied to a stop,
ne was the most composed and
self-possessed man on the air field
As flash bulbs popped, newsreel
cameramen jockeyed for position,
Marine generals fidgeted with
their white gloves and numerous
lesser officers and enlisted men
scampered about. The President
strode onto the ramp from the
doorway of the Independence and
paused briefly.
Later, everyone who wanted to
was able to shake the hand of the
President, including Mayor and
Mrs. L. W. Hassell of Beaufort.
Dressed in a tan. double breast
ed suit and standing hatless in the
early morning sun, Mr. Truman
was handsome with his broad
chest, erect bearing and silvering
hair. His smile, though genial,
was not so extravagant as those he
flashed for the voters before elec
tion day, and his manner and dress
were conservative.
Descending the ramp with mea
sured steps, he allowed camera
men the courtesy of plenty of time
before grasping the extended
hands of Brig. Gen. Ivan W. Mil
ler, commanding officer of the
Marine air base, and other high
ranking Officers on hand to, greet
him.
After the initial handshake, the
president donned his light tan fe
dora and allowed his Marine Hosts
to continue the ' introductions as
the party moved leisurely toward
a waiting limousine.
A line of Marine officers and
men, standing at attention, were
awaiting a handshake from the
commander-in-chief, so Mr. Tru
man was next taken to them.
I moved along the line behind
the Marines, aiming my camera
over their shoulders, as the Presi
dent moved along, looking into the
face of each man, listening to his
name called by an escorting offi
cer, shaking each hand and speak
ing a friendly greeting.
He was affable and seemingly as
interested to meet them as they
were to know him. As he spoke,
his voice was resonant and deep,
the. mark of a calm, self-assured
man and I felt that the description
of "a plain man" aptly fitted him.
Finishing at the last man, the
President returned down the line
of tautly erect figures, all in their
Marine dress blues and white
gloves, and was interrupted just
before stepping into the limousine
by several who had not yet shaken
his hand.
Mayor L. W. Hassell was among
these. Mrs. Hassell, the only wom
an present, failed to get in on the
quick handshake, so she darted to
the doorway of the car and tapped
Mr. Truman on the shpuldcr. He
quickly turned, grasped her hand

Hears Report
On Sanitation
A. D. Fulford, Dr. N. T. En
neit Appear at Monthly
Meeting
A. D. Fulford, county sanitarian,
ind Dr. N. T. Ennett, county
health officer, presented a report
:n the sanitary facilities of New
port to Newport commissioners at
heir November meeting in the
town hall.
To supervise the improvement
in the sanitary program undertak
?n hy the commissioners, the fol
lowing members of the town
board were appointed to serve as
a sanitation committee: David It.
McCain, Henry Edwards, and C.
YI. Garner, chief of police.
Summary of the I port, submit
ted by Mr. Fulford, follows: Num
ber of insanitary outside toilets,
'Jo', complete new outside toilets,
31; 19 places without toilet facili
ties. 9 insanitary septic tanks, 11
ineffective sink drains.
When the commissioners report
ed that there was no possibility of
sanitary sewers being installed
within the next five years, it was
suggested that septic tanks be put
in.
It was pointed out however, that
families who have septic tanks are
less inclined to look favorably on
installation of sanitary sewers.
Cost of installing a septic tank
was reported to be between $150
and $175.
Violators of the sanitary code
will be given 30 days to comply.
The commissioners have authoriz
ed the serving of notices to all
homes where outside toilets are
hot in a sanitary condition.
Before adjourning the board dis
cussed the privilege tax levied ,-n
Commissioner McCain stated that
E. Arthur Mason, Bettie well-driller,
offered his assistance, if nec
essary, on the digging of the well
for the proposed town water sys
tem. Analyzing Votes
Cast Tuesday...
Now that enough time has
elapsed for an analysis of the fi
nal voting tabulations for 1948 in
Carteret county, how does the turn
out of voters compare with elec
tions of recent years?
In the presidential race the 1948
figure for ballots cast ii Carteret
is 30 more than in '44 and 586
less than in '40. Citizens of the
county cast a combined vote of
5099 for presidential candidates in
1948, against 5069 in 1944 when
Dewey ran against Roosevelt and
5685 in 1940 in the Roosevelt-Wil-kie
battle.
Ike Eisenhower received one
write-in vote in Morehead City.
Comparison of the voting record
for the governorship reveals a to
tal for all candidates of 5069 in
1948 versus a total of 4962 in 1944
(Cherry-Potter race).
Did Truman poll more or less
votes in his 1948 upset or in 1944
when he ran with Roosevelt for
vice-president? The records show
that he received AO more votes
under the Roosevelt banner than
under his own in '48, which means
that his strength was relatively
stable in Carteret county. The Tru
man count in 1944 was 3489. This
Nov. 2 he recorded 3449.
Dewey lost 79 supporters in the
county since he opposed Roosevelt
in the 1944 elections. 1580 was his
total then, Ws total Nov. 2, 1501.
The combined total of 5099 in
the presidential race was the
largest number of votes cast in
any race in he county this year.
Precincts which went Republi
can in the presidential and U. S.
senator races were Marshallberg,
Williston, Davis and Stacy. The
record did not hold true for all
races, however.
Final tabulations show that Kerr
Scott led the field in number of
votes received h Carteret county,
although A. H. James received the
most votes in the county elections.
Scott polled 3946 votes Nov. 2.
James' final count was 3861. Bun
dy, unopposed for solicitor of su
perior court, received 3783. Gra
ham Barden, Democrat candidate
for U. S. representative, stood
fourth with 3780.
Closest race was the Morehead
City township contest for constable
in which Krouse netted 710 votes
to nose out Fulcher with 708 votes.
Carteret countians were for two
of the four proposed amendments.
Amendments one and four receiv

TB Association
Will Sponsor
School Contest
The Carteret County Tuberculo
sis association announced today
that it will sponsor a contest to
promote interest in the Christmas
senl campaign among school child
ren of the county. Prizes will be
awarded to the class that creates
the most attractive merchants' win
dow displays throughout the
county.
A cash prize of $10 will be
awarded for first place, $5 for sec
ond place, and the third place
award will be $2.50. Judges for
the contest will be selected from
Morehead City, Beaufort, Newport
and Atlantic. Only the schools in
these communities wil enter the
contest.
Wiley Taylor, Jr., seal sale chair
man for the county, said that the
contest is limited to these schools
because smaller communities do
not have a sufficiently large busi
ness district to offer the space re
quired for complete participation
by all the classes.
Mr. Taylor expressed the hope
that every merchant in Carteret
county will cooperate with the
children in this contest. In return
for their cooperation the mer
chants will be assured an attrac
tive window display which will be
appropriate for the Christmas sea
son and will be making an im
portant contribution to the success
of the Christmas seal campaign,
Mr. Taylor remarked.
Funds raised by the Carteret
county Tuberculosis association
this year will be used to procure
a mobile X-ray unit in order that
the unknown cases of tuberculosis
in the county can be found and
properly treated. Through the use
of mass X-rays it is believed that
tuberculosis can be almost com
pletely wiped out in the county.
County commissioners at their
monthly meeting yesterday, held
one week later than usual due to
the election last week, selected 40

Three major requests for funds
were brought before county com
missioners at their meeting yester
day in the court house. The wel
tare board, Charles Nelson, Chair
man, asked for an increased ap
propriation, farmers and represen
tatives of the Beaufort Chamber
of Commerce requested an assist
ant county agent, and a represen
tative of the Burroughs Adding
Machine company asked the com
missioners to buy a $3,300 tax ac
counting machine which would be
nlaced in the auditor's office.
In regard to the request by the
welfare board, Mr. Nelson and
1is George Henderson, of the
welfare board, were told to take
Hie steps they felt necessary at
iresent, but all three matters were
taken under advisement and none
jvere acted on finally.
A delegation consisting of 12 ,
farmers of the county, R. M. Wil
liams, county agent, Raymond
Bull, president of the Carteret
County Farm bureau. Dr. R. S.
Lovvorn, professor of agronomy,
State College, S. H. Dobson, agron
omy experiment specialist, State
College, and Dan Walker, manager
of the Beaufort Chamber of Com
mercc appeared before the board
with the request for an assistant
county agent. Mr. Walker was
spokesman.
He told the commisisoners that
an appropriation of $1,200 a year
would be sufficient to nay the
county's share in obtaining an as
sistant county agent who would
work with 4-H club boys and girls
and build the dairy and poultry
industry, in the countv..
"Gentlemen," Mr. Walker said,
"we don't feel as though we're ask
ing you to give us anything. We're
offering you something, the results
of which will be seen in W tw
five, years." ,
The Chamber of Commerce man
ager told the board that tens of
thousands of dollars leave Carteret
county each year in purchase of
milk and puoltry. In addition to
fostering these phases of agricul
ture and supplying home dementi,
i ll boys and girls would receive
training that would enable them
to earn a living, Mr. Walker con
tinued. The commissioners told the del
egation that they would "seriously
consider the matter between now
ind Christmas" but gave no prom
ise of granting the request. The
county, they said, did not have
sufficient funds.
A request by William A. How
land, 1813 Evans street, Morehead
City, for rcappraisement of his
property, was referred to John
Brooks, tax supervisor, and Price
Johnson, Beaufort, was granted a
license to sell beer at the cafe
which he plans to open near the
Carteret Fish company.
The following road matters were
referred to the state highway com
mission: repair of the road five
miles from Beaufort which leads
from route 101 to the location of
the old poor house1 beyond Rus
sell's Creek (this request was made
by Dora Merrill); repair of the
road at Davis which was built by
the WPA and leads from the main
road to Core Sound; and comple
tion of highway "24 from Ennett's
Corners to Maysville which con
nects the county seats of Onslow,
Jones, and Carteret county.
No action was taken on a request
by letter from R. G. Montgomery,
Durham, who asked that the val
uation of $9,500 on his summer
home at Atlantic Beach be reduc
ed. The home was originally val
ued at $5,300.
Mr. Montgomery told the com
missioners that he had an invest
nent in the Madix Asphalt Roof
ng corporation and that he plan
ted to make more investments in
Carteret county but he wasn't go
ing to continue to do so if his home
was valued at the $9,500 figure.
, Return of a $2.50 entry fee to
Harry Chadwick, of Smyrna, was
ranted. Report of the clerk of
uperior court for the month of
October was read and the report
if the October grand jury submit
'.ed. Violent Wind Storm
