By Kutn reeling
.Soon after coming to Carteret
county in the early spring of 1946,
I learned of the Merrimon "road,"
a strip of sand, mud, saltwater,
muck, and mire intended to serve
as i thoroughfare from Hardesty's
corner on route 70 to Merrimon
and the South River section.
Time after time residents of that
area have gone before county
'ommissionern and requested that
late aid be obtained to make the
road at least usable, if not hard
surfaced. During the past summer
Mile trucks have been working a
long the road, hauling dirt and
dumping it here and dumping it
there. In the length of time this
activity has been going on it seems
w though nothing, absolutely
nothing, has been accomplished
ind the road is. far from being
passable.
Appearing below is a letter from
a resident of Merrimon, Mrs. Mil
dred S. Lawrence, one of the lead
ers in the fight to make govern
ment officials recognize that Mer
rimon is a part of Carteret county
and a part of the state of North
Carolim. and that therefore the
citizens of that community are en
titled to all their rights including
good roads.
To those of you who arc not fa
miliar with the Merrimon road, I
can assure you that Mrs. Law
rence's statements below are not
manufactured out of thin air. On
a trip from Merrimon in August,
my car had to be pulled out of
mire one foot deep less than one
mile from Hardesty's store. All
the way to and from Merrimon I
expected to bog down in the goo
any minute. It took service sta
tion attendants two hours to clean
the car, remove mud that had even
covered the engine and spattered
Inside through the windows.
Tun waWb man mitmnioA an.
"frTOfiir7Merrt but-m
up when the car, slithered danger
ously through the muck and close
to the ditch at the side.
With hope, hope that we believe
will not be in vain, THE NEWS
TIMES is forwarding this issue of
the paper to Governor-elect Kerr
Scott ' We think he would have to
look far throughout the state to
find a "road" such as the one to
Merrimon that has been in deplor
able condition as long and for
which so much has been promised
and so little done.
Following is the letter received
by THE NEWS-TIMES from Mrs.
Lawrence:
" '. . . we were told by county
officers several years ago that a
federal appropriation hid been
made for the hard-surfacing of the
Cedar Island, Harkers Island, and
Merrimon roads.. Mr. Jimmie
Guthrie published a dissertation ir
your paper more than two years
ago on our road. He had been mis
informed that our road was being
surfaced before Harkers Island's
was completed and was asking
what sins the Islanders had com
mitted to deserve such treatment.
I answered Mr. Guthrie's article.
I evidently relieved his worries,
for I received no answer. I as
sured him that the equipment
placed on the North River end of
the road was only pre-election
promises again. The equipment
was removed on election day!
But going back to that federal
aid, there were three or four coun
ty officers who would speak to me
concerning the road every time 1
vould see them. Then about a
ear ago when a group from here
ippealed to the county commis

but we endured and hoped for

rumor came out: "We're going to
start pouring next week." That
week hasn't come. No surfacing
has been done yet.

Lawyer Comments
On Editorial View
In NEWS-IMS
Wiley Taylor, Jr., attorney of
the v Beaufort Athletic association,
commented yesterday on the edi
torial which appeared Friday in
THE NEWS TIMES in recant-to
-the lease presented U) the JpoattK
of lid urn (inn for their annrnval I
1 w i - - -. i
The lease provides for the ren
tal of the Beaufort ball diamond,
located on school property, by the
Athletic association at $500 plus
9 per cent of gross receipts over
$10,000.
THE NEWS-TIMES editorial
pointed out certain weaknesses in
the lease and recommended that
the county attorney be consulted
in regard to what action the board
of education should take.
Mr. Taylor stated that "peculiar
interpretations' were put on the
lease by the editorial. He said in
regard to the newspaper's com
ment that the proposed stadium
could burn and the debris left for
the school to remove that a con
crete and steel stadium and fence
could not burn, and if it did there
would be sufficient insurance car
ried to cover suueh. loss, thus en
abling the damaged property to be
rebuilt.
The editorial pointed out that
the lease did not stipulate whe
ther the lessor or lessee would de
fine what use of the property
would be "unlawful or offensive."
The attorney said that the uses
to which ' the property would be
put were agreed upon verbally be
tween the Athletic association and
the Beaufort school board of trus
tees before that body signed the
lease and recommended its ap
proval by the county board of edu
cation. The county board stated Monday
a week ago that it would make' its
decision on renting the property
to the Athletic group at its Jan
uary meeting.
Rotarians Hear
Marine Officer
Lt. L. T. Iglehart of the public
Information office, Cherry Point
Marine Air base, spoke to More
head City Rotarians Thursday
night on the necessity for better
ing relationships between More
head City and the air base. ; ;
He emphasized that there isn't a
particularly poor relationship now,
but stated thatnore could be done
by both to establish a feeling of
neighborliness.
Because Marine personnel are
transients, he said that they want
to experience as much as possible
the feeling of permanency, where
they ire stationed, even though
may be for only one or two years.
Efforts are being made, tha lieu
tenant remarked, to .have more ci
vilians attend sports events at 4he

hensive and competently adminis
tered ports program will broaden
North Carolina's distinct advantage
of every class and every region.
"Surveys have been made and
statistics gathered by those active
ly engaged in furthering the port
.pspcram. k which sUaw, ihst ot
many years our sister slates on the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts have been
reaping a golden harvest of dollars

cause they saw long ago the ad

ing their port cities adequate and

Removal of the bumps in the

Bulging seams are first removed
by a drill and then filled in to
street level with asphalt. A large
patch of asphalt has been laid di
rectly east of 8th street to bring a
depression there up to grade. ;
Tile drain pipe is being placed
along the north side of the street

deterioration of the present street
surface. '
One day has been lost due to
