Office for Coming Two Years
Marine Reserves '
To Begin Training
At Base Tomorrow
16 Squadrons East of Mis
sissippi Will Arrive by
Air Transport
Marines Air Reservists from 16
squadrons based east of the Mis
sissippi will arrive at Cherry Point
tomorrow for a two week period
to participate in the third annual
Air Reserve maneuvers.
Many of the Air Reservists will
arrvie at Cherry Point via the
Marine transport squadrons air
lift that will operate throughout
the summer months carrying air
and ground forca Reserves to and
from cities all over the nation. At
the present time, two Second Ma
rine Air Wing' squadrons, Marine
Transport Squadrons 153, and 252,
are flying shuttle runs day and
night in order to receive and dis
tribute Marine ground troops to
their respective training bases to
allow more time to devote to the
actual operational phase of ma
neuvers.
Two hundred Reserve planes
will arrive at Cherry Point under
the capable control of MARTCom
pilots. All squadrons are equip
ped with F4U "Corsairs." While j
not the latest availabe model, the (
"Corsair" is adaptable to all phas- j
es of flying, has a long range and
is relatively easy to handle. The
Reservists will have a chance to
"feel out" one of the latest mod
els in Marine aircraft, however,
as the training program calls for
a number of the pilots to check
out in the speedy jet planes that
are in operation at the air station.
This will be the first time that
any of the Reserve pilots will
have had opp<*tm?ity to Hy
the jet. f '
Reserve squadrons will arrive
from Chicago, 111.; New York, N.
Y.; Miami, Fla.; Jacksonville, FU.;
Columbus, Ohio; Norfolk, Va. ;
Detroit, Mich.; Washington, D.
C.; Akron, Ohio; Atlanta, Ga.;
Philadelphia, Pa.; and two units
from Boston, Mass.
In addition to the above squad
rons, all fighter units, there will
be three Marine Ground Control
Interceptor Squadrorts, composed
primarily for the purpose of radar
and electronic device bperation.
These squadrons will arrive from
Detroit, Boston, and Chicago.
'Salesmen' Try
Another Swindle
Another type of what Constable
Charlie Krouse termed "skin
game" was pulled in Morehead
City and Beaufort this week.
Both Chambers of Commerce
received telephone reports Wed
nesday that magazine salesmen
were working the two towns sell
ing subscriptions. The reports
stated that the salesmen said they
represented the Veterans Admin
istration, the Disabled American
Veterans, local Chambers of Com
merce, and any other groupa that
would seem to serve their purpose.
Wednesday night a Morehead
City resident recognized one of
the salesmen at the dog traok.
During the day the resident had
been approached by the salesman
who was limping, carrying a cane
and inferring that he was disabled
from military servicc.
When seen at the track the
salesman was in the best of health,
riot limping, aad thoroughly en
joying himself. Constable Krouse
was notified of the man's presence
and questioned him.
When questoined the salesman
admitted that his sales talk would
lead his prospective customers to
believe that he was a disabled
veteran. He admitted that be had
never been in the service.
Constable Krouse told the man
that he would be placed under
arrest and held for next week's
Kaion of recorder's court in
aufort. Neither tha sataman
nor any of his'confederata* ware
to be seen later anywhere in the
'county. Apparently they had
taken a hint an<) departed for far
placesl
Both Dan Walker* manager of
the Beaufort Chamber of Com
merce, and Robert G. Lowe, man
ager of the lffcreKead City Cham
ber of Commerce, appealed to the
public to be more wary of any
similar situations. .

Four Doctors Testify io
The Former Jurist's Phy- 1
sical Disability
Judge Luther Hamilton of
Morehead City will become one I
of the State's emergency judges |
? the classification given retired |
members of the judiciary.
Governor Scott said Tuesday
that Judge Hamilton would he .
permitted to retire on grounds
of disability.
The judge is going on the re
tirement list because of heart

Fire Causes $20,000
Loss At Factory
A Louslana factory of the Wal
lace Fisheries was damaged to the
extent of $20,000 in a recent fire
which damaged large ateel vats.
The fire occured on a Monday,
and had it been any other day of
the week, it was reported, the vats
would hive been filled with water
and probably been able to with
stand the heat.
It is believed the flames may
have been caused by a carelessly
discarded cigarette.
The company was also fortunate
in that wind waa blowing from a
direction which prevented spread
of the flames Aroughout the plant.
I A fire broke out several times
in one day on one of the boats tied

All six Beaufort elective officers
were officially sworn in for the
1949-50 term at the town commis
sioners' meeting Monday night in
the town hall.
Justice of the peace Fred R.
Seeley officiated at the swearing-in
of Mayor Lawrence W. Hassell and
the five commissioners, Wiley Tay
lor, Jr., Graham W. Duncan, Jr., J.
O. Barbour, Jr., Dave F Merrill
and C. T. Lewis. None of the offi
cials were opposed in the May
elections consequently all were re
elected.
Immediately following the swear
ing-in, the officials reappointed
city clerk William Hatsell and all
other appointed employees for the
next two years They arc Chief of
Police Louis Willis, police officers
Hiram Kerr and W. C. Garner,
street superintendent Clyde Peter
son, E. D. Rhue, fire truck driver, >
and Roma Willis, assistant fire j
chief. Other city employees are j
appointed by Mr. Hatsell.
The town board offered to pay
Mr. Seeley for his services but he
declined payment. He said it was
payment enough "to be able to
look at such a good-looking bunch."
A continuation of the discussion
involving John Parkins' sign on
city property in front of his place
of business on Front street took
place. Three months ago the com
missioners instructed police Chief
Willis to have the sign removed but
no action had been taken before
the Monday night meeting.
Commissioner Barbour stated
that the section in which Mr. Par
kins' sign was located was a resi
dential section and not to be con
sidered in the same light as the
business section downtown. How
ever, he stated that it the major
ity of Beaufort citizens felt busi
nessmen downtown should stop
placing their wares and merchan
dise on Front street, then the com
missioners should take action to
see that the merchandise is moved.
He added that that included his
own see that the merchandise is
moved.
Mr. Barbour continued with the
statement that no building permit
had ever been issued for Mr. Par
kins' fish market tu be constructed
in tbe first plate, that Mr. Parkins
had never established ownership of
the land on which the market sits
and that he does not pay taxes on
the property.
Commissioner Taylor said the
commissioners represented the peo
ple of the town of Beaufort and
the vast majority of the people
were in favor of having the Par
kin's sign removed. He said that
if the commissioners did not take
a firm stand now, then they could'
expect little compliance with
future orders.
Town attorney Julius F. Duncan
stated that the chief of police
should warn Mr. Parkins once
more that the sign should be re
moved. If the warning is not com
plied with, he said, a mandatory in
junction would be issued citing the
sign owner to court for violation'
of the law.
In line with disobediance with
city ordinances, it was revealed
that Vernon Styron has attached
electric lines to power lines run
ning into his home on Front street
and run the lines over the street
to his fish house. The commission
ers voted unanimously to require
the lines to be removed. ,
Commissioner Barbour inquired
if there was not something that
could be done about the signs plac
ed on Front street stating that the
waters in Taylor's Creek are pol
lued. He said the signs were a
bad advertisement for Beaufort.
Mr. Barbour added that he did not
mean to infer that the signs should
be torn down but rather that some
thing should be done to correct the
pollution.
Commissioner Taylor explained
that there are only two possible sol-f
utions to the situation. He said a
sewage disposal plant, which would
cost a couple of hundred thousand
dollars, was one remedy. The
other, lie said, was to construct a
master1 sewer system running east
to west.
All sewers which now empty in
to the water would empty into this
system and then into the water
away form Beaufort's water front.
Such a system, the commissioner

ed for hi$ excellent work at the

Mr. Morris thanked Jaycees for i
their fine cooperation. He said

and local people had compliment
ed the Jaycees on the way the I
whole event came off. Naturally, |

comments had been received but 1
they were few and far between.
A discussion of the "prohibit
everything" situation in Fort Ma

situation and taking necessary i
steps.
(At its Tuesday night meeting,

any complaint in view of a report
in Tuesday's News-Times that ac- 1
tion had been taken to correct the
situation.)

Hometown Boy Returns
For 50th Summer Visit
f
By Thomas Carrew
One thing you can say about a
trip on the railroad, it's never the
same.
And the incidents of a trip are
often unique. Not infrequently
they are funny and sometimes sad.
It's a little drab ot travel on a
train when ? travel is very light.
An empty coach or puilman is the
harbinger of bad business and bad
business extended over long per- 1
iods means bankruptcy.
Today, Friday, July 1, on myl
way to Washington, with final des
tination North Carolina, I find the
first section of the Pennsylvania
"Colonial" all coaches crowded to
the last scat and some passengers
standing.
Now this is all-coach train hap
pen to have one Pullman and as
I walked through with the crowd
moving toward the rear 1 noticed
one seat in the smoker where I at
once camped with four other tra
vellers.
One speaks like an Irishman.
One is a priest from some foreign
country, one a mere youth, one
a sort of average American smok
ing a smelly cigar to the bitter
end, and one individual whose pre
dilection to talk is highly develop
ed but not offensive.
Now the Pullman scat being
wider than my legs from knee
joints back, I put my suitcase back
of me and with its vertical sup
port to my back, sit here as stoical
it Mahatma Gandhi.
I am contented under conditions
that would make some folks .un
happy, particularly since the tem
perature is somewhat high and the
atmosphere is humid.
... the young priest turns out to
be a student from the priesthood at
Quebec and he bails from Dublin,
Ireland. He is a very lovely con
versationalist, but has completely
lost his native Irish accent. One |
of the other young men turns out
to be a student in mechanical en
gineering at the Catholic univer
sity, Washington. He is a war pro
duct and will not graduate until
he is 28. He is much concerned
about his future.
. . . Reached Washington right on
time. But I think I was lucky be
cause I never saw travel so heavy
There were crowds in Philadelphia
and even greater crowds in Wash
ington. It seemed as U half the
travellers were Nefroes. A very
?nteresting discussion on th? racial
problem took place in the smoker
The usual pros and cons.
. . . The gates opened for the
train at 7:15, on time. But it took
19 minutes to load th* train. Three
extra coaches were put on the rear
