The funerkl service for Gerald
Pelletier, 22, of Stella, was con
ducted at 3 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon at the home of his uncle
and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald
Pelletier, Stella.
The Stella youth was killed by
a shot from the pistol of a police
/ilfcer Saturday night five miles
affcth of Savannah, Ga.
The policeman, Sgt. William M.
Sheppard, who fired the fatal shot,
is reported to be recovering slowly
from a wound inflicted by ytong
Pelletier who fired at Sheppard
when the officer accosted the Car
teret lad in the Southern Manor
Tourist court south of Savannah.
Kinfolk of the young victim
were told that Gerald went Sat
urday night to the cafe at the
tourist court. He was sitting on
the steps outside about closing
time. A man and girl were inside
cleaning up when Gerald told them
he was cold and asked if he could
come inside.
They told him he could and
the three talked together a while.
Suddenly, Gerald reached in hjs
pocket and pulled 4bt a pistol,
saying "Stick 'em up, this is a
hold up."
At that, , the girl went out the
back door, apparently unnoticcd
by Pelletier, who told the n?an* to
open the cash register. The maM
told the youth to open it himself'
because he was closer to it. The
hoy did so and the cash register
was empty.
Gerald laughed and said, "Well,
I guess this is a water haul."
Then he went outdoors and at
tempted to hitch a ride at the
highway. Meanwhile the girl had
called the police. The man and
girl then followed him outside.
Gerald turned and said in a few
minutes that he wanted to go back
in.
The man asked, "Why? You've
already been in. There's nothing
in theTe."
About that time a police car
raced past the place, siren scream
ing, circled around and pulled up
in back of the cafe. By that time,
the man had opened the building
again to let Gerald in. As the boy
went in the front, the policeman,
Sergeant Sheppard, entered
According to police report*, lie
ordered Pelletier to surrender, 4nd
the boy fired once, striking Shep
pai d ivy the side. Sheppard then
fired Ms pistol five times, killing
the youth.
The man at the cafe is reported
to have said that Pelletier appar
ently didn't notice the siren on
the police car.
His kinfolk here said they be
lieved the boy did not at all times
have complete command of his
mental faculties.
He is survived by his mother,
Mrs. Geraldine Pelletier Garrett,
of Guam, who is flying here, and
his father who lives at Ayden.
Mrs. Garrett told relatives not to
delay the funeral because the time
of her arrival is indefinite.
Young Pelletier was the nephew
of Gerald and Lionel Pelletier,
Stella; Rudolph Pelletier, Mays
villc; Mrs. Clarabelle Sabiston,
Miami; Mrs. Harry Davis, Har
lowc; and the grandson of Mrs.
Clara Pelletier, Stella.
The body was interred in the

By Dan Walker
Chamber of Commerce Man
ager Explains Functions
Of Commerce Group
Dan Walker, manager of the
Itaufort Chamber of Commerce,
spoke to Beaufort Rotarians at
their meeting Tuesday night in the
Inlet inn qp their chamber of com
merce.
Mr. Walker outlined the com
plete setup of the chamber $nd its
organization. He said that policy is
formed by the various groups that
comprise the organization. He ex
plained that the chamber was nol
an individual, an officer, director,
or group of officers but it is the
members whose dues supoprt
chamber activities.
"The members through their
board of directors arc the ones
who direct the policy of the cham
ber," he said. "Verbal blasts at
the chamber do no good. If the
time, thought and energy spent on
criticizing the chamber were direct
ed toward active work the results
would be unbelievable."
The manager listed, as an exam
ple, the work he undertakes in an
average day: he spent time in three
conferences on trade promotion, se
cured pictures of homes and apart
meats ?h?* might be available tod
sent them to a well-known
who is interested in moving to
Beaufort, held i discussion .with
a property owner on the possibility
of converting his building to a
small commercial hotel and
brought up to date the chamber's
file on rooms and apartments
available. He added that the public
was cooperating nicely in compil
ing the file but that the number
rcspondipg was disappointing
He also held nine conferences
with individuals and groups during
the day on routine chamber mat
ters. drafted an outline of the pro
posed constitution and bylaws of
the Beaufort baseball club, wrote
'?Sfters to four newcomers welcom
ing them to Beaufort on behalf of
the town's citizens, assited two
aptjttment-seckers, gave the name
of a new shipper to the railroad,
and corrected and revised the civic
calendar.
Finally, he had a visit from an
officer of Piedmont Airline, pre
pared and delivered a 15-minute
radio discussion on the radio ma
rine telephone committee, and pre
pared the talk he delivered before
the Rotary club.
During the course of his talk
Mr. Walker paid tribute to the ser
vice the NEWS-TIMES has render
ed in helping publicize the work of
the chamber. He displayed as an
example, a recent edition of the
paper with four stories concerning
the chsaiber's work on its front
page.
Guests for the evening were Neil

Ninety-seven totft fires in the
10-county district (including Car
teret) of the North Carolina Forest
service in March caused >35,380
damage and burned 8,494 acres of
forest land, R. C. Winkworth. dis
trict forester, reported recently.
The forester pointed out that the
damage estimate includes only
damage to tsanding timber, young
growth, forest products and im
provements and docs not take in
wildlife damage or any property
damage not included in the above
list
Careless trash burners were
blamed for 41 of the fires while 29
were attributed to incei^Mrics.
Fifteen were caused by careless
smokers and the remainder by
campers and hunters, lightning and
mbccUaneoua causes.

A majority of cause waj^esidents
decided at their meeting Monday
night tha> they would request
Beaufort town officials ta' hold a
referendum on the subject of tak
ing the causeway into Beaufort's
city limits and that they would also
request Morehead City officials to
enter an act in the legislature tak
ing most of the causeway into the
Morehead city limits. The meeting
was held at the Rainbow inn on
the causeway.
The original purpose of the meet
ing was to decide what action
should be taken concerning the
proposed addition of the causeway
to Beaufort. The move to be taken
into Morehead City limits was a
surprise action that occurred after
the meeting had begun.
J. O. Barbour, Jr., town council
man of Beaufort, appeared at the
meeting and explained Beaufort's
reasons for proposing the extension
of its city limits and what cause
way residents would stand to gain
by being a part of Beaufort. He
said there were three future possi
bilities for the causeway. Either it
could become an incorporated
town of its yvn or it could come
into the city limits of Beaufort or
Morehead City. He said one of
these three possibilities would defi
nitely take place at some future
time.
He used Atlantic Beach as an ex
ample of what could happen to the
causeway if it incorporated. It
find itself unable to offer the ser
vices that a municipality should
provide for its citizens, he said.
"The summer population is in
a majority," he said, "and they can
overrule the year-round residents

residents httfe b??m discriminated

to have a bill introduced into the
legislature requesting a tax setup
that will enable them to run their
town properly."
Mr. Barbour listed the advan
tages Beaufort could offer the
causeway. It could offer an en
forced 25-mile per hour speed lintt,
fire protection, police protectio.1,
garbage disposal, a lowered insur
ance rite, the services of the Beau
fort planning board, and a guaran

at their meeting Monday night that
they would not solicit endorsement
of Morehead City as the site for
the 1950 North Carolina Jaycce
