* Carteret Coiuty News-Times L A Mercer Of ? ^ The Beaufort News (est. 1>12) * The Twl? City Timei (est. 19JC) [ * , EDITORIAL PACE FRIDAY. ^PRU. 29, 1949 mm -? , Beginning o( a New En/? In a hiatory-making move. Beaufort and Morehead City com ?? missioners met Monday night in the municipal building, Morehead City. The purpose of their meeting was to discuss the causeway ' situation, but ultimate outcome was an agreement that they have much to gain by becoming better acquainted. It requires men of character to overlook years of traditional rivalry, to relegate personal prejudice for. the nood of the com 3 munities they serve. It's startling to realize that in the past hundred years, ever ?i since Morehead City's begiuning, the governing boards of the two towns never deemed it advisable to get together once in a while. i Monday night was the beginning, we hope, of a new era. t From One Meter to Another This parking meter business is fast becoming a farce. More head City Chamber of Commerce announced Wednesday that summer visitors need not pay anything to park in town at the fi. meter stations. The town certainly has a flying start . . . last ''' M<Aiday at 10 a.m. a check along Arendell street showed sixteen cars parked in the main business block in front of meters show ing red flags. That same day at 5:15 p. m. there were cars parked in front of 17 meters in which no money had been deposited. The following afternoon at 4:15 p. m. 12 cars were parked in the block between 8th and 9th street on Arendell and five of these were in front of red flag meters. Wednesday morning of the same week on the north side of Arendell street, not one motorist had bothered to put money in the meters. In Beaufort many of the meters are out of whack. Put a penny in and 12 minutes register, put another in and nothing happens. At another meter, put a penny in. and an hour's time comes up Ottis Jefferson told us the other day that he saw a 1 woman put money in a meter, the red flag continued to show, so she literally beat the meter up. Still nothing happened. So she went to the lane beside her where no car was parked- and put money in there, then got back in her car and sat See. it's driving everybody crazy. The meters are a splendid sourco of revenue to both towns. Because of the dog track. Morehead City may not need the money as much as Beaufort, nevertheless, the idea of exempting summer visitors from payment means, actually, that nobody will have to pay anything. What policeman is going to wait perhaps an hour or more to find out whether a car is from Atlantic, N. C. or some town * upstate that has no town tag? Will the Atlantic motorist be considered a summer visitor? Will a motorist from Beaufort be considered a summer visitor j .? ??? V AH cysee are mafiy'htadatftfs lor the Morehead City police fore#, tm mayor, and the automobile-driving public. i f a tiRrn doesn't want meters any more that, they should , be taken out. If they are to stay, then 'aw should be enforced. Beaufort, even though some of the meters are in need of ad justment, has been doing a splendid job of enforcing the parking ordinance. A Ik EC Owns ArendtU Street A freight train was parked on Arendell Street again Wed nesday night, blocking passage acroaa Arendell on Fifth. The cart reached from Sixth street to Fourth. But a precedent, too, was set WednMday night The caboose at Fourth had its lights on. The tank cars which happened, however, to be across Fifth street, wera black as the ace of spades. Fortunately, lighu shining out from Tide Water Power company and from an occasional street light helped the motorist to see that the road was blocked. Thought for an open mind.. Much consideration should be given those who are in trouble: dire Mad warps the vision. No man may walk the high trails (or long at a time: but a strong effort shoultj be made to bring back a vivid memory ot things sensed while there. To -save a person's FACE In a discussion is of more value than victory In the argument. Integrity is the working capital of the man of moderate circum stances. Many live too long in the present ? others, too much in the future. It is seldom that man holds the right balance between the two extremes.

Like- old coonhounds limping1 in from an all-night hunt, the legislators hit the trail for home last weekend. Many of them ? ? particularly those on the House side of the Capitol ? had given up the chase several days ago, and at least one of them hardly got here at all. j On the day prjor tp adjourn ntM* fewer than 100 of the 120 tndni-j ibers of the House of Representor t ivies a lowered to the roll call. ? INCIDENTS . . . One member of the Legislature, Senator Joe Bly- 1 the of Charlotte, died during the session, and Senator Rex Gass of Winston-Salem was seriously ill1 most of the time. Probably the saddest incident in j the House occurred just Rep. j L. A. Martin of Davidson finish ed one of his vigorous speeches! against liquor. He had hardly sat j down when he and Rep. J. V. Whitfield, of Pender were asked ; to lead a House member ? and one; of the most prominent and ablest! men in the Legislature ? from the hall. RUMORS ARE FLYING ... Until | all the Kerr Scott appointments; are in, you will be able to near almost any kind of rumor repaid in# the appointment of this man or that woman to a position in | Raleigh. Any strontf Scott man in any county ? and prior position or prominence wili not be a prime consideration ? - is a possibility. The list is as lonp as youv arm jind the list ?f the place* to be1 filled on boards, comwifsion^ a Kti What-have you is little sJhort^jSo, the h?est advict* is to he prepared for anything. The rumor still persists here, however, that Jonathan Daniels, Democratic National Committee man, and Capus Way nick. Slate Democratic Chairman, will vacate these positions by mwlsunimer. Also keep aji eye on Assistant Agriculture Commissioner D. S. Coltrane, Charles I'arker, Georpe Rosa and Kill Hatch, all of Hal eiph, John Harnes of Clayton, Joe^ Crawford of Winston Salem, W. It. Austin of Jefferson, Dr. R. K. Karp of Selma and Julian Alls brook of Roanoke 'Rapids. Watch i this space for other important j Scott names. BY AUGUST 1950 . . . The belief: among: some of the conservative j leaders here in Raleiph is that a ; special session of the Legislature will have to be railed between now and August. 1950, for the purpose of raising taxes, etc. with which to meet appropriation* whieh were made by the recent Legislature. THK KICKOFF . . . On Tuesday, April ai 11 o'clock in the Ag|i culture Building the first of a -eries of meetings on the road and ehool votes was held. Governor Kerr Scott mimeographed a laige number of letters, made the names and addresses look as much* like l he mimeographed portion as pos sible ? the personal touch ? and sent them flying about the State within hours after the Legislature had fixed it so the people could vote on the road and bond issue Irf $200,000,000 0'ui .ibe.^'buol bond issue of Jfrft^OOOjOOiOuu ? -v You muy eirpcct-B?vMW> fi|nij#r meetings to be hpld -throughout the State between now and June 1. NO RAISE YET . . . Teachers and nil State employees ? except a group of 900 Employment Securi ty Commission officials and work ers ail over Nortn Carolina ? have received their bonus and retro active pay. These ESC people are still going around in circles, mean time keeping an eye on Congress. They will get that 20 per cent ra.se just as other State employees have, but their State Federal sta tus makes it necessary that the funds for the raise be made avail able byNUncle Sam and not by North Carolina, which granted the raise! A TRADE? ... Ed McMahan of Brevard wrote Bob Deyton of Ral WALL-FIX HAS EVERYTHING you've wanted in a modern paint! NOW you can use tomorrow's paint today?

Rhue Hardware Co. eigh a month ago that he would like-: to Mil Deytpn his Brevard residence, which, incidentally, is one Y>f the most beeutAl homes there. You see, Deyton is leaving his jeb as assistant director of the budget to go with Ecusta and will live m Brevard. Now McMahan is coming to Raleigh as a 'nember of the Utili ties Commission. It looks as if Ed might trade his home in Bre vard for Bob's home in Raleigh. That's an idea, anyway. I THE WAY UP . . . Way\o quick promotion: bet on the right po litical horse and stick with him over the hurdles. Of the six men chosen for important State jobs here last week, five ? Paul Oliver of Robeson County, Dr. H. T. Trigg (Negro) of Raleigh, Josh James of Wilmington, Ed McMa han of Brevard, and Claude Fer rell of Elkin ? were newconiprs to big time State politics and their names meant nothing to old-line North Carolina political leaders. This may well be regarded as a compliment to them, but it also indicates that their spheres of politicar influence have heretofore been on a local plane. AND WELCOME ... By the way, Josh James is known by mei^chants and farmers throughout the south eastern part of the State, where he was for a long time a feed and seed inspector under Agriculture Commissioner Kerr Scott. When hi? former boss announced for Governor, Josh hit the road and did w?l| foi^his m?n in pro-John son territory. Now he .comes to . An $8,800 position Had McMgh^n been given better, support in his law practice in Bre ' vard, he would not be leaving there. He's a food, dependable fellow, the State's leading Lion, I but somehow he was not able to ' get goinjr as he wanted to in his j profession. Now, many a lawyer in this State would be glad to exchange jobs with him. EDUCATORS . . . Claude Farrell, j new member of the State Board | of Education, lives only 35 miles 1 from old member Santford Martin j of Winston-Salem, who was reap 1 pointed. Claude, a former teacher, | knows his education on the local level and will enjoy his frequent' Thursday trips to Raleigh. He can meet with the boys and then do ; as they always do : saunter across | Capitol Square for lunch at a long j table at California Restaurant. Dr. Trigg will have to eat elsewhere. ! Farmer Paul Oliver will main- ' tain the rural touch on the Board. ! Alonzo Edwards of Green County, who is going off, is president of the Farm Bureau. ONE BILLION . . * Itemember only a few years ago when people whistled and said: "Just think this State is now spending one million' dollars a month ? every month!" Those dear, dead days. Now we are approaching that magic figure, one billion dollars. In fart, if the people vtote the $25,000,000 for school buildings and the $200,000,000 for roads, this General Assembly ? which Governor Scott kicked and lam basted as b<fig "economy mind- , ed" ? will have paved the way for spending $<>52,000,000. It actually spent $427, 000, 000. ? ? Scott still has at least one more Legislature ? probably two more ? coming to him and thus it should be relatively easy for Ins adminis tration to reach the one billion dollar figure. He only has $448, 000,000 to go. i! NOTES . . . Several meitfbtfrs of the Legislature, digging ,T! their hands into empty pockets on the day of adjournment, vowed they would not be candidates fot the General Assembly next time . . . Buren Jurney of Statesvttle is scheduled for a firing when his term on the N. C. Industrial- Com mission expires May 1 ... If Rep. John Umstead and the School forces had not fought so hard to spend that reserve fund of $30, 000,000 right now for Cttrther school teacher raises, they would have gotten most of it eventually, anyhow, for it was set up to pre vent declines in salaries of teach ers and other State employees in hard times . . . Now $25,0^0,000 of it has been allocated for flchool buildings ($250,000 per county), and the teachers lose accordingly . . W. Z. Betts, head of the Division of Purchase and. Con tract and a faithful Statq em ployee for 25 years, feels a Scott wind on his neck. ... wSmrSALE s Ask About Our 3-DAY TRIAL ? 10% Dawn; Weekly , fa>mtirt? t Full Jeweled Power Head Roller bearing* on crankshaft, crank pins, and wrist pins cut friction to minimum.
