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. Durbam Man Wins Miss N. C. Photo Contest Prize Charles H.

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 and out-of-town youngsters were 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.

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 expressed satisfaction with the afternoon.

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.

' 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.
