Officials of the Atlantic and East |
Carolina Railway company have fil- 1
ed a petition with the Stati' Utili
ties commission for permission to
remove its daily passenger trains
(Nos. 2 and 5 on week days and
Nos. 12 and 15 on Sundays) from
the Goldsboro to Morehead City run
it was reported Saturday by Gener
al Manager and Chairman Harry
P. Edwards of the board of trustees
at New Bern.
The firm posted a bulletin at its
stations on the route on Set>t. 17
indicating the petition would be fil
ed to the State Utilities Commiss
ion within a period of 10 days. Ed
wards said that the road planned
to take care of mail and express
deliveries, but admitted the pass
enger train had been losing
mojiey for tbe firm for some
time.
In his petition to the Utilities
commission. Edwards pointed out
that losses for 1948 approximated
$31,900, including more than $10,
700 in rentals that the firm must
pay for use of the Goldsboro Union
station. The trains average onlj
27 passengers daily, each way, for
1948, Edwards stated.
Bus transportation from More
head to Goldsboro for 1948 exceed
ed 150,000 passengers during 1948,
while train fares totaled, only 19,
000, Edwards stated in the petition
to the Utilities Commission. One
estimate of bus traffic put the
figure at 200,000 fares for one
year, he stated.
Average daily fares for stations
on the route included the following
for 1948: Morehead City, three in
three out; New Bern, eight in and
six out; Kinston, 14 in and 11 out,
and Goldsboro nine in and seven
out. Most of the fares invilve the
10 cent fare Tor transportation
between stops on the route, Ed
wards noted.
The commission must set a hear
ing date for examination of the
claims of the railroad before action
can be taken to remove the pass
cater trains. -The daily round-trip
service la prartntly the only such
service otfertil the people of Kids
ton, New Bern and Morehead City.
If the trains arf removed the mall
and express would be delivered by

passenger trains afford, Edwards
pointed out.

was unable to appear in court be
cause of severe injuries.
Willis is charged with cutting
Ward severely about the body with
a knife Saturday night. According
to police reports, Ward was em
ployed at a white residence on 13th
atrcet off Shackleford street.
Saturday /light when he finished
work he left tlie residence and met
his girl friend who was waiting for
him in front of the house. Further
down the block they passed a house
where Willis was sitting on the

Witnesses reported that Willis
jumped from the porch exclaiming ]
"We don't watit any niggers around
bere." With that he struck Ward
several blows with a knife, inflic
ting several deep cuts in his cheat
.near his heart.
Ward was taken to the Morehead
City hospital where he was released
late Sunday. However, in the early
hours of Monday morning he was
returned to the hospital bccause

One hundred per cent partici
pation was reached this week in
Beaufort's refinancing plan for
its Waterworks-Sewerage-Street
bonds when the final $5,000 worth
of old bonds were turned in to the
State Treasurer for refinanced
bonds.
In 1939 the town agreed on a
plan to refinance its old bonds
issued in 1916. Holders of the old
| bonds, originally issued at five
per cent, were to be issued re
| financed bonds, with interest
rates increasing from one and a
half to four and a half per cent,
good for the principal and default
ed interest on the old ones.
By this plan the town fulfilled
its obligation to bond holders and
promised to pay the principal and
interest by 1974. The original
bonds issued in 1916 were due in
1946.
All but one of the holders of
the origirfel bonds agreed to the
plan and turned in their defaulted
bonds. However, Mrs. Louis
Corbusier, Plainfieid, N. J., re
. fusefl to turn in her original
bonds, withholding them in hope
that she would be able to get the
five per cent interest.
This week, though, she decided
to turn in her old ones.
Neegotiations were completed
and the new bonds were issued in
transfer for the old ones, making
I 100 per cent participation in the
town's bond plan. As of today,
Town Clerk William Hatsell says
the town owes $411,000 an its re
financed bonds.

Jack Fortin, forester in charge
of Croatan National Forest, ad
dressed Morehead City Rotarians
Thursday night on the impor
tance and use of the Croatan for
est to this area. Rotarians met in
the Carteret Recreaion center.
The forester outlined the ad
ministrative setup of the National
I'arks Service and then listed the
three main uses of Croatan for
est, its natural resources such as
timber which is sold, shelter for
the propagation of wild life, and
recreational facilities for the pub
lic. He said there are both
Negro and white beaches in the
forest and also a camp for under
, privileged maintained by the New
' Bern Rotary cYuH.
Timber sales last year totaled
over 9,000, the forester stated,
with one-fourth of that total be
ing returned to the counties in
which the forest is located, Cra
ven county and Carteret county.
One-third of the forest is located
in Carteret county so one third of
the money returned will be given
to this county, he said.
Rangers promote timber grow
th, protect wild life and supervise
recreation for the public, Fortin
explained. Their time at this
productive work is ctit short in
fighting forest fires many times
throughout the year. Forty-five
fires occurred in the forest this
year, he stated and 44 of them
were found to have been caused
by human carelessness.
A good portion of the forest's
300,000 acres have been burned
over as a result of many fires in
the past and will have to be re
forested, he concluded.

Per?onally^Spe?lni|
W hat About a Comm unity Chest?
Public opinion on the desir
ability and feasibility of holding a
county Community Chest drive
each year is sharply divided, ac
cording to a survey made by the
News-Times.
Some of those interviewed said
ihey thought such a drive would
be desirable frorti the standpoint
of relieving the public from the
trouble of being frequently called'
op for donations but they felt that
a Community Chest drive would
not gather as much money as the
several drives held throughout the
year.
Those opposing the plan stated
that they did not think it would
work since they believed that
several of the most prominent or
ganizations that make drives for
public contributions would not
join the Community Chest and
consequently the number of soli
citations in the community would
be lessened very little.
However, general opinion of
those both favoring and. reject
ing the Community Chest plan
was that if an effective plan could
be instituted whereby all organi
zations could gain the money they
needed in one concerted drive,
,then they would be in favor of it.
The question asked of those in
terviewed was: 4'Do you believe a
Community Chest drive in Car
teret county would be more ef
fective, from a financial and
psychological point of view, than
the present method of asking for
contributions for as many as 10
or more separate drives throughout
the year?" Answers from the pub
Ik follow: ? # <
Mrs. Leota Hammer, Atlantic :
"I think it's a good idea but not
workable. Many people in the co
unty don't have much money at
one time but do have enough dur
ing certain seasons to contribute.
If there was only one drive a year
it would not get as much from
them at one time as it would dur
ing several drives. It would take
several years for a Community
Chest drive to achieve any mea
sure of sucess."
Joe House, Jr., Beaufort:
"Yesf I do think it would be suc
cessful. It would save trouble
from the solicitation worker's
standpoint and also from the
standpoint of those solicited."
John Crump, Morehsad City:
"It would, never work. We would
still be panhandled by someone
every day of the year."
Walton Fulcher, Morehead City:
"I believe it's a good idea. We are
approached by what seems like a
different organization every day.
However, I'm not sure thit as
much money would be gathered as
is done at present."
Wiley Taylor, Jr., Beau*
lort: "If other examples of Com
munity Chest drives I have seen
are any example of what to ex
pect I would say it is not work
able. The theory is good, but
contribution* at one time are never
as large as those over a period of
time."
Oscar Allred, Morehead City:
'I like the idea. It wouldn't take
as much time and y6u know ex
actly what you would be giving
each year ratber than being un
certain aa to what drive would be
looking you up next for money." I
Preston Mason. Beaufort: "Peo
ple would never give as much mo
ney at one time as they would when
approached several times. I'm not
in favor of It."
Harvey Hamilton, Jr., Morehead
Cliy: "The first fund raising drive
each year does okay, but the rest
never reach their quotas. 1 be
lieve it's the best plan. People
would give more if they knew
there was only one drive each year
and not several."
James D. Rumley, Beaufort: "It's
the best plan. There are too many
drives and they really add up when
the end of the year rolls around."
Lonnle Dill, Morehead City: So
licitors call on people in business
every day of the year. It's an an
noyance while working and also
it's unfair. They will call on a man
at his place of business and on
his wife at home, thus getting a
double contribution when each
thinks he Is contributing for the
other. I'm strongly in favor of a
Community Chest drive."
Janis Herring. Beaufort: "We're
going to have continuous solicita
tions regardless of what method
we use. I think a Community
Chest drive is fine in theory. It
saves the work of those having to
raise the money and on those con
tributing I believe, though, that
we will always have solicitations
from some group or other."
Charles Willi*. Morehead City:
"It would be the finest plan pos
sible If the county would support
It It would eliminate separate
drives and we would know that
some of oar money would be going
to each organization in the coun
ty."

president of the North Carolina
Farm Bureau, fired the opening
gun in the drive for 1950 Carteret
County Farm Bureau memberships
when he made the principal speech
at a rally Thursday night in Beau
fort school.
The speaker stated that agricul
ture was changing daily and that
recently it had practically perfect
ed the field of production. As an
example of this theme he cited the
excellent job done by agriculture
during the war with less personnel
and more production.
Today, he said, farmers are faced
with increasing problems, pro

48 states than anyg similar rgoup.
"The National Farm Bureau has
more influence than the CIO." the
speaker emphasized, "and is relied
on heavily by members of Congress
for agricultural advice and inform
ation. " He concluded by saying
that the Farm Bureau office in the
nation's capital stood ready and
willing to render assistance of any
sort to its members who called for
help.
Following the main speech, Os

Dr. John M. Goggin, professor 1
of anthropolgy at the University]
of Florida and a recent, visitor to !
Carteret county, holds hope that|
significant discoveries in Indian i
lore may be made along this
coast.
An expert in Florida Indian
lore, Dr. Goggin is interested in
North Carolina Indians from the
viewpoint of fitting them into the
picture as neighboring tribesmen.
He is an authority on Florida
archaeology and recently received
his doctorate in anthropology at
Yale.
This section of the country is
practically untouched as far as
serious study of Indian remains is
concerned, Dr. (joggin explained
while visiting Mr. and Mrs. Martin
Burkenroad, Newport RFD.
Dr. Goggin visited Marshall
berg where he was shown the
numerous Indian relics which
have been collected by Julian
Brown and he went to Harkers Is
land to observe the great shell
mound which was destroyed re
cently for road building.
He pointed out that any place
where a layer of shells is found
may be a former Indian site. Be
cause the sea level is slowly rising
in this coast, it may be that
many of the sites are under water
and shell mounds may be hum
mocks in what is now marshland.
Such sites may not have Indian
pottery fragments, like those on
higher grounds, because the earli
est Indians had not learned, to
make pottery.
Judging from the few relics
that have turned up in this local
ity, stone knives or axes were
few; wood, bone, and shell im
plemcnts were inoie common.
It is probable, Dr. Goggin* said,
that Indians who frequented this
section were semi-nomadic, com
ing here to fish at certain seasons
of the year.
It is known that they ate conchs
and then drilled a hole in the top
of the shell, fastened a wooden
handle through the hole and used
it as a digger. Stones have been
found in this section in which
there are grooves. These stones
ate believed to have been used
to sharpen implements, in other
words, they were crude whet
stones.
The Indians were fond of de
corative pottery ? not decorative

Morehead City. The local Nat-'
iona) Guard unit will march in the

Commander Walton Fulcher *
suggested that some effort be
made to institute a study program J
concerned with what the Ame^i- |
can Legion means and stands for. |
He said he felt such a course ii
would create more interest in the 4
Legion by both members and non- 4
members alike. Floyd Chadwick i
was put in charge of investigate
j ing possibilities of the program. !
Joe Smith, John Pavone and j
Fred Beaver were appointed a ?
committee to make arrangements j
