who passed by the injured man as
[ his first example .He said the
priests's philosophy was "What's
mine is mine," a philosophy that
disregarded all but one individ
ual.

of the thieves who robbed the
traveler, "What's thine is mine."

a philosophy that paid no heed
to honest work or the rights of
others.
The third example Mr. Tilley
illustrated was that of the Good
Samaritan who aided the stricken
traveler. "His philosophy was
what is mine is thine," the minis
ter said, "the best example any

in our daily life."

A combination of two freak

in mangled toes for one Cart

teeth and a cut chin for an
other.
Winston Hill of Atlantic was
departing from a Morehead City
dock in his shrimp trawler on
his way out to do some shrimp
ing. The motor in the boat was
acting ud so he took has bare
foot and kicked the fan belt
leading to the generator.
His toes became entangled
in the belt and were badly
mangled before he extricated
them. A fishing companion
named Willis turned the boat
around, docked it, and took Mr.
Hill to Morehead City hospital.
A doctor was summoned and
took Mr. Hill to his office where
the doctor began to treat the
mangled toes. Mr. Hill's com
panion was overcome by the
sight -of so much blood and
fainted, falling from a window
sill where he had been sitting
When the score for all the
damage was added up it was
found that the toes were not
badly damaged but that Mr.
Willis had broken or knocked
out three teeth and sustained a
cat in his chin that required
four stitches.
Court Confirms
$190,080 Bid
For Nadix Plant
A $190,000 cash bid for all of
the Ma<!ix Asphalt Roofing cor
poration property, excluding raw
materials and finished products,
was confirmed in a special ^session
of federal court held iij Morchcad
City municipal building Tuesday.
The bid was made by Southern
Felt corporation, Durham.
Federal Judge Don Gilliam of
Tarboro accepted the bid subject
to any upset bid that might be
made within 10 days of the accep
tance date, June 14. The Southern
Felt bid stipulated that secured
and unsecured claims totalling
$242,000. held by Southern Felt
against the Madix firm would be
voided.
All secured claims against the
roofing company, exclusive of any
claims held by Southern Felt, to
tal $167,000. Local legal observers
stated yesterday that probably all
secured claims would be paid off
from the $190,000 but that more
than likely none of the unsecured
claipis would be paid since taxes
of over $30,000 and other debts,
including administrative charges,
would have to be paid from the re
maining $23,000.
Unsecured claims agairat the
firm total well over $200,000 at
present. Action was deferred by
Judge Gilliam on a claim by the
First Citizens Bank for $6,000 for
insurance premiums paid for the
roofing firm.

by Soil Conservationist Roy R.
Beck of what took place the day
Mr. Simmons and he planned the
farming system.
The morning I went out to sec
Harrold, I found him busy super
vising a big clean-up job his whole
family had tackled. It really was
a big job with even bigger results
that I was to see later. After I
had pulled him away from the
hard work, Harrold showed me the
two hillW where erosion had eaten
away most of the top soil. This
class three land, colored a danger

a place for pasture or meadow but
Harrold insisted he had to grow
row crops that would help pay for
the farm.
So we planned to terrace one
hill that year and the other Uie
