Morehead City's first Load-Packer garbage truck, pride of CMC's functional vehichular products,
went into operation almost a week ago and since then has showed it can do in one day what it took
two of Morehead's antiquated open dump trucks almost five days to do. Besides that, the Loda Packer
utilizes three men per day as against six men per day for the obsolete open dump trucks.
While you are figuring that one, cast your eyes above and watch H. Earle Mobley, president of
Mobley Buick Co., present the keys of the spanking new "Keep Ouu City Clean" Load Packer to
D. G. Bell, city commissioner, and to W. L. Derrickson, Mayor Pro Tem.
And while you are pondering over the visages of left to right, D. G. Bell, W. L. Derrickson and
Earle Mobley, gulp in the accomplished fact that, today, Morehead City received a heavy duty road
mbtor grader from North Carolina Equipment Co. This monstrous apparatus will be used to put More
head's secondary streets into A 1 condition.
Just because the Load-Packer is now on the job, Morehead City has not dispensed with the services'
of any of its six street department employees. Three will work 011 one of the open dump trucks j
which has already been assigned to clean streets, remove broken tree branches, and other debris too i
cumbersome to fit into the Load-Packer.
Bryant Swindell is boss of both the Load Packei and the dump truck assigned to the garbage divis
ion. J. V. "Hootie" Waters will be boss of the road motor grader as well as the remaining open-dump!
truck.

Sailing Club Instruction
Program Pays Dividends
An old tailing investment paid
dividends this week in Mo re he ad
City.
About IS years ago D. G. Bell
and Gib Arthur, both of More
head City, decided that if local

ever going to learn sailing it
would be up to them to teach
them.
Accordingly, they formed a jan
ior sailing branch of the Morehead
City Boating club. The chief aim
of the junior arm was to train
youngsters in the proper uae of
most small sailboata.
Tuesday's News-Time* carried
a brief announcement atating:
"Beginning this afumoon, the
Morehead City Sailing club will
offer elementary sailing instruc
tion to interested youngsters. In
structor* and pupils will assemble

of children 10 years old and up
thronged at the sailing club dock.
After a preliminary weeding out,
1 1 pqpils and five instructor*
were left. All five instructor*
were from out-of-town, and all
five were product* of the pro
tram, begun 15 year* ago, to
teach youngstera how to sail.
After seeing the group, Com
modore Bell of the Morehead City
Sailing club' stated that a long
term investment had finally paid
off, in return* outweighing dol
lars and cents.
The five instructors were Don
Robinson, Booker Cunningham,
Toddy Parker, Sandy McClam
roch, and Phil Moore. Two or
three of the pupils were assigned
to each of the five boats at tha
dock, and they were off with
the breese.
Tha fleet cruisad up and down
the soun<t for an hour and a half,
with the instructors deihonstratipg
tha fundamentals of sailing and
naming the various parts of rig
ging snd equipment. - Each of tha
pupils was given an opportuitity
to steer and manage his boat.
All present, both teachers and
learners, > expressed satisfaction
with the afternoon. It is planned
for the instruction to he a regu

Jaycees Hear
Report ontG.
Celebration
Morehead City Jaycees were
told Monday night that the 159th
Coast Guard annviersary celebra
tion held here last week was a
complete success. Bob Lowe re
ported on the celebration at the
meeting in the Fort Macon Hotel
dining room.
Lowe stated that the celebra
tion "will prove highly profitable
to this community in the long run.
That is all that I can say at the
present time but as time passes
the import of what I have said
will be apparent."
H. S. Gibbs, Jr., reported that
the petitions being circulated re
questing that one side parking be
required on Evans Street were
meeting with favorable public op
inion thus far. He said that
slightly less than half of the resi
dents on the street had been con
tacted and most of them were in
favor of the scheme, with some
protesting it.
Several Jaycees indicated their
intention of attending the state
meeting in High Point August 20
and 21. It was suggested that the
local club assist in the expenses
of those attending in order that
more could be present to talk up
Morehead City's gaining the Miss
North Carolina franchise again
next year.
The board of directors was em
powered to set up a budget to
send delegates to the various Jay
cee quarterly board meetings.
As a follow-up on the Miss
North Carolina, pageant, it was
disclosed that a scrapbook con
taining photographs of Nancy Yel
verton, Miss North Carolina of
1949, had been compiled and
would be sent at one time or
another to all the Jaycee clubs
in the state. It is hoped that the
scrapbook will stimulate interest
in the contest, and perhaps attract
other contestants for next year.
Vets Nay Receive Medical
Care al Federal Expense
Many North Carolina veterans
9rinjM?reat*d nJfUlarly bjf tK^
own physicians for service -con-'
nected ailments at thefl own ex
pense are unaware that they are
entitled to such treatments at
government expense, accbrding to
a report from the North Carolina
Veterans Commission.
This benefit applies to only
those veterans who have filed a
claim and have been granted ser
vice connection for a disability
even though they did not receive
a compensable rating for compen
sation.
A large number of veterans
have been granted a service-con
nected "zero" rating making them
ineligible to receive 'compensation
but entitling them to out-patient
treatment at government expense.
Veterans who have no compen
sable rating but have established
service connection and who desire
treatment at other than their own
expense should make application
at once and thus save unnecessary
expenses to themselves.
Service officers of the N. C.
Veterans Commission will assist
any such veteran in establishing
eligibility for out patient treat
ment. The County Veterans Ser
vice Officers, C. L. Beam of Beau
fort, can also assist in this con
nection. In some instances those
who have been treated for some
time may even be able to obtain
a reimbursement for expenses al
ready incurred.

County Agent Announces
Series of Pasture Meetings
"Any succeswful livestock pro
gram is based on the production
of a large proportion of cheap
home grown feed," county agent
R. M. Williams commented today
when he announced a series of
pasture meetings to be held in
the county next week. #
One or more acres of perma
nent pasture is the goal the coun
ty agent's office has set for every
Carteret county farmer who has
any livestock. The county agent
asks that these acres be seeded
by early September.
"If the livestock program of
our county continues to develop,
it will do so only in proportion
to the expansion of our feed pro
gram," Mr. Williams continued.
"It has been our observation that
not many livestock men are ever
very successful who invest a con
siderable amount of their hard j
earned dollars received from cash !
crops to purchase large quantities
of commercial feeds."
Colored slides and lectures on
establishing pastures will be pre
sented at the following places at
8 p.m. on the nights designated:
Monday, Cleve Gillikin's store,
Bettie; Tuesday, Beaufort court
house; Wednesday, Lionel Con
ner's store, Harlowe; Thursday,
Vocational Agricultural depart
ment, Newport; and Friday, Ud*
itarian church, Pelletier.
Badges and pistols were in or
der yesterday when almost 200
North Carolina law enforcement
officers got into the real business
of the annual convention of the
North Carolina Police Executives
association.
Registration for the convention
was held. Wednesday afternoon
with 100 names being recorded.
Following registration, the offi
cers and their families were taken
on a water tour of local points of
interest.
Yesterday morning the group
really got down to business, with
sessions informing them of all the
latest police techniques being held
every half hour throughout the
day. They were also guests at a
luncheon given jointly by the
Morehead City and Beaufort po
lice departments.
Last night Judge Luther Ham
ilton addressed the group at their
annual banquet. His speech was
preceded by the installation of of
ficers who were electea late yes
terday afternoon.
During the afternoon some of
the officers traveled to the pistol
range for practice firing. This
morning, firing for the record will
be held at 10 o'clock with prizes
and trophies being awarded to the
winners in each classification.
Beaufort Rotary
Hears RazAutry
"One thing Beaufort children
have learned this summer and
learned well is the importance of
teamwork," Raz Autry, djjrcctor
of Beaufort's summer recreation
program, told Beaufort Rotarians
at their Tuesday night meeting in
the Inlet Inn.
Mr. Autry reported on the ac
complishments of the summer

Beaufort Jaycees
Discuss Minstrel
A further discussion of the pos
sibilities of staging a minstrel was
held by Reaufort Jaycees at their
Monday night meeting in the Inlet
Inn, but no definite decision was
reached.
President Odell Merrill announ- J
ced thai the board of directors at 1
their last meeting had agreed that i
a minstrel should be put on and
that Jaycees should run it without j
the help of an outside director.
The group agreed that the idea \
was a good one but when the j
names of those in charge of various t
phases of the minstrel were an
nounced, some disagreement arose.
Consequently, a vote was taken on <
whether to hire an outside direc- ]
tor, and the motion was voted '?
down. No conclusion was reached '
on when the minstrel is to be ,
staged.
President Morrill reported that J
at the hoard of directors' meeting I
it was agreed that Beaufort should
support the state Jaycce directory
which is proposed. The directory
will carry advertisements only
from thrsc firms which have Jay
ccos connected with them.
James Potter read a letter from
Walter Morris, general chairman
of the recent Miss North Carolina
pageant, in which it was stated that
Morehead City Jaycees were well
pleased with the way Beaufort Jay
ices looked after Klizabeth Wil
lis, Miss Beaufort, during the pa
geant.
Mr. Morris' letter stated that
his group had no complaints on
the way transportation was provi
ded for Miss Willis. He also com
mended the club for providing her
with a $25 cash prize.
Dan Walker made a brief report ,
on the need for observance of
parliamentary procedure at the
meetings, lie stated that It was
lUMMrthat Communists were try- '
ing to Infiltrate into Jaycee clubs .
meetings. He stated that it was re
elsewhere and had boasted that
they could run a meeting with
three of their members who un
derstand parliamentary procedure.
President Merrill agreed that
there was room for improvement
in the club and asked the group
to consider the idea of appointing
a parliamentarian later. The par
liamentarian would sit as judge
on procedure at the meetings and
rule on those who are out of order.
Rusty. Dorrler was compliment
ed for his fine art work on the
Jaycee bulletin masthead and Les
lie Davis was appointed to write -
a brief biography of some mem
ber for each issue.
Eric Moore's name was drawn (
for the $2.49 door prize but since
he was not present, the money
was held over until the next meet
ing.

I think it was a fine thing <nd
am afraid a great many parents
don't realize what was done lot
the youth of the county.
B. 1. May, president of Rotary,
and under whose presidency the
' program was inaugurated:
1 think it was one of the nicest
things Beaufort has ever had for
young people. I am heartily in '
favor of directed activities for
young people and think such
things help them immensely.
T. R. Jenkins-Minister, Roiarian,
parent
1 think It was very nice. Glad
we had It and hope we can repeat
it next year. Raz Autry is a fine
boy and did a good job with the
children.
Preside* of P. T. A. Parent, Mrs.
Ralph Eudjr
It has been a fine thing for the
children and something the P. T.
A. should encourage next year.
We've been fortunate In having \
Raz Autry. It has been an out|
standing program for boys and ,
girls and Baa kept them interested
for the summer.
Jean Chappell ? President Jualar I
Woman's Rub. - J
I think its the best thing for the

is one of the most progressiva '?
things the town has ever done,
and all the civic organisations can .
be proud of themselves for back
