Goodrich^ L Li ? S i *-i R U BRLP ; Mart Takaa to Bar Stall From Bariap Machinery A suit against members of the state highway commission to teat the legality ol their using rural road bond funds to buy highway construction equipment waa filed in Wake Superior court Thursday. Th* luit was brought byNNello L. Teer of Durham, a road-building contractor. Shortly after the action waa filed Judge Henry W. Grady aigned an order directing the commission members to show cause at a hear ing here on Oct. 14 why a tem porary restraining order should not be issued. Upon final determination of the cause, Teer asked th?t a mandatory injunction be issued directing the commissioners to spend the road bond funds in accordance with the bond act and other state law*. Papers on the case were filed on commission members at a meeting this morning. In his suit, Teer questions legal ity of the highway commission's us ing $5,000,000 of the first $50, 000.000 road bond issue to buy ma chinery. This $50,000,000 issue was sold by the state Wednesday. The com mission already has bought most of the $5,000,000 worth of machin ery. ' v ' Couple (Continued lrom page one) don't have any children or rela tives. Mr. Golden does all the cooking and house cleaning His home is spotless. "I don't want folks com ing around here and seeing it look like a hog pen," he said. The Goldens have been married for 35 years. He has made his living farming and clamming but in recent years has been unable to work because of his age and the responsibility of having to look after his wife. County old age as sistance is their only means of sup port. "We get a little help from the county," he stated. "If it wasn't for that you could dig a hole and put me in it." With the help of their neighbors the Goldens are snuggly bedded down for the winter, not rich nor gifted with all the comforts of the world but secure in tfce know ledge that though they are without relatives or children they have something even better - loving friends and neighbors. Handicapped (Continued from page one) all physical capabilities. Perfect physical specimans are rare and | fortunately for almost everyone, the modern industrial and business systems don't require such perfec tion for outstanding performance. "The handicapped have made countless contributions in practi cally every field of human endeav or. Consider the illustrious list of persons with severe handicaps who have given the world so much Beethoven, the giant of music; Ed ison. the wizard of science; Robert Louis Stephens, the literary genius; Helen Keller and her incredible accomplishments ? to name only a few." Warren assured employers that they would be hiring quality work ers when they hire rehabilitated workers. He said: In the 1949 fiscal year. North Carolina assisted 2,259 disabled men and women of working age to rehabilitate themselves. Before re j habitation, they were earning at I the rate of $411.32 a year, a total which was increased 80 per cent to the annual rate of *2, 07Y.1K alter they had received services irom Vocational Rehabilitation. More over. all of these before-rehabilita tion earnings were derived from unsafe or otherwise unsuitable jobs. "The disabled men and women of North Carolina who made their comeback in 1948 are making good in such occupations as watch re pairing, radio repairing, doctors, lawyers, ministers, teachers and ?

Approximately 65 attended the I meeting, with a large representa tion there from the Jaycees. Leigh Wilson, field consultant with the league of Municipalities, who drew up the zoning ordi nance, showed a map of the town to the group and explained some of the principles involved in zoning. Requirements on distance of a house from the front property line are necessary, should it ever be necessary in the future to , widen the street, requirements on ! minimum distance between houses I is necessary so that fires could be fought efficiently; although there is a requirement on the distance from a rear property line to the | back of the house, garages, or I other outbuildings can be placed ! in that space. Beaufort's business areas have been designated on Front street from west of Barbour Serine Supply to Way Brothers Fish house, and from Queen street east to the post office, on the north side only will business houses be permitted. J When an objection was raised I to that provision, Dan Walker, ? manager of the Beaufort Cham ber of Commerce, said that there I is the possibility of a hotel being I tyuilt in that block and that the j prospective builder is not interest ; ed unless the town is zoned to pre j vent closing o? the waterfront I view. | Mr. Walker also cited another instance wherein a small industry S refused to consider Beaufort as a I site because the town was not I zoned. Industrial areas include the ; area just south of the Beaufort j draw, extending northward all along the water, and also on Len noxville road from the cannery building to the city limits on the south side of the road. A small business zone, or neighborhood trading area, has! been designated at th? intersec-! tion of Ann and Live Oak Streets. Mr. Wilson pointed out that the planning board has requested that any future neighborhood business es provide an off-street parking area for customers in order to re lieve traffic congestion. In answer to a question by Claud Wheatly, Mr. Wilson stated that the zoning ordinance will have no effect whatever beyond city limits. G. W. Duncan also asked Mr. Wilson if the law would j require any changes in structures Telephone Company Asks Permission i? Lay Cablo The Carolina Telephone and Tel egraph company, Tarboro, has re quested permission from the corps of engineers, Wilmington, to lay an armored lubmarine telephone cable 4,300 feet long across Bogue Sound between Morehead City, and Atlantic Beach.

B. Cooper, president. as they now stand and he was told no. Will Arrington told Mr. Wilson his troubles about parkin? meters saying he had to pay $50 a year so that trucks could back up to his place of business. Some one in the audience told Mr. Arrington that if the town would have been zoned, he would never have come up against such a sit uation .Mr. Arrington, in relation to the zonning law, said he just > didn't want to get caught in the same trap again. A vote on the opinion of those present was taken at the request of Mr. Duncan.
