Mayor Sends Case
To County Court
Sgi. Kenneth Sawin Placed
Under $500 Bond on
Reckless Driving Charge
Probable cause was found in the
case of Sgt. Kenneth W. Sawin,
charged with reckless and care
less driving, in yesterday's session
of Morehead City mayor's court
and his case was bound over to
recorder's court under $500 bond.
Charges were brought in
Sawin's case as the result of an
accident Saturday night when po
lice say his 1949 Lincolm mowed
down an electric light pole, cros
sed the street into an embankment
made a U-turn, crossed the street
and ran into a cedar tree.
Cat Escaped
Sccne of the accident was the
intersection of 24th and Evans sts.
at 16:15 p. m. Sawin was traveling
east on Evans when he said a cat
ran in front of his car and he
swerved to avoid hitting the cat.
The car then went out of con
trol, he testified, hit the light
pole on the northwest corner of
the intersection, crossed 24th st. to
the northeast corner where it ran
over the sidewalk, up on an em
bankment, did a U turn back down
the embankment, went back a
cross the street to the northwest
corner where it struck a cedar
tree and stopped. ^
Damage to the light pole amoun
ted to $150, cedar tree damage
was $25 and the automobile was
considerably damaged, investigat
ing officers testified.
Officer Carl Blomberg and Ed
mond Willis were called and re
ported that the driver of the car
was not present when they arriv
ed. At least ten minutes later, they
said, Sawin appeared and asked
if it would be all right for him
to take his car.
Returning from Wedding
Sawin smelled heavily of alco
hol, police stated, and he said he
had attended a wedding and had
a few drinks. He admitted driv
ing the car and said he walked
home and back to the accident af
ter it happened.
Mayor George Dill said that de
spite the defendant's testimony
that he had been drinking,
probable cause could not be
found on a drunken driving charge
because no one had actually seen
Sawin at the wheel of the car.
However, the mayor stated that
he found it hard to believe that
the car was moving only 20 miles
an hour, as Sawin had testified,
since it traveled a total of 215
feet from the time it struck the
lijght pole until it finally stopped.
Probable Cause Found
Probable cause was also found
in the case of Winfieki Scott Webb
jt, charged with leaving the scene
of an accident. Scott was charged
with having run into the parked
automobile of Eugene F. Capps.
Scott admitted hitting Capps'
car. He said he had gope on to
his home two blocks away and was
going to return to the accident
when police officers came after
him within five minutes after the
accident occurred. Scott admitted
his guilt and offered to pay for
damage. Most of the damage had
been done to his truck, he said.
Mayor Dill said he had no choice
but to send the case to recorder's
court since it was beyond the jur
isdiction of mayor's court. Bond
was set at $100.
Linwood Hall pleaded guilty to
speeding and was fined' $10 and
costs. The bond of Madie Bell God
ley, charged with the same offense
was forfeited when she failed to
appear in court.

Chairman Gives
Information On
Little Symphony
The Notth Carolina Little Sym
phony orchestra is a group of 23
professional musicians under the
leadership of Benjamin Swalin.
touring the state to bring sympho
ny music to the people.
The symphony will come to
Beaufort this spring Mrs. Bayard
Taylor was chairman of the drive
for symphony society member
ships last month.
"Many people," Mrs. Taylor
said, "have a mistaken impression
about the North Carolina sympho
ny. Some believe it is a group of
men and women who make music
their hobby or sideline."
Professional Musicians
"This is definitely not the case,"
she continued, "for all players in
the symphony are professional
musicians and they must pass stiff
auditions before joining the or
chestra."
Another mistaken idea that
people have concerning the or
chestra is that it is directly con
nected with the State university.
Outside of the fact that the univer
sity provides a headquarters for
the office staff in Chapel Hill,
there is no connection.
State Helps Orchestra
The North Carolina Symphony
is an independent organization
subsidized in part by the state and
supported by 14,500 members of
the Symphony society.
In speaking of the orchestra as
a professional organization Mrs.
Taylor stated that many North
Carolinians who have heard great
symphonies in other cities are
slow to accept the fact that right
here in their home state is a sym
phony which rites with the best in
the country. The North Carolina
symphony is one of countless or
chestras throughout the country,
which, while comparatively young,
give superb performances and is
making great strides toward nat
ional recognition:

Merchants Discuss
Chamber Program
Adequate steps must be taken to
convinee merchants that they have !
good reason to join the Morehead
City Chamber of Commerce, mem |
bers of the Morehead City Merch
ants association agreed at their
Thursday luncheon meeting in the
Jefferson Restaurant.
Members agreed that the Cham
ber of Commerce was a most j
worthwhile investment and an in
vestment that paid great dividends
in trade. However, it was pointed
out/ some merchants take a short- .
sighted view of the work being '
done by the chamber and refused !
to join the group.
The view of these merchants, it ;
was reported, is that the work of
the chamber does not and will
not increase business. Neverthe
less, these same merchants take
advantage of promotional schemes
of the chamber and the Merchants
association to reap the benefits
from programs which they have
not supported.
Program Discussed
Constructive action on a pro
gram to convince recalcitrant
merchants of the chamber's worth
was not taken at the Merchants as
sociation luncheon but it was a
greed that a program should be in- j
stituted within coming months.
Charles C. Stott, assistant super
intendent of state parks, gave a
short address on present facilities
at Fort Macon State park.
Stott said recreational facilities
had been improved greatly with
in the past year and further im- 1
provements were planned before !
the summer season gets under
way.
Present Facilities
Present facilities include a
swimming area, bath house, park- j
ing areas, boardwalk, refreshment
stand, picnicking area, the fort it
self and miles of ocean frontage
for the sightseer. These areas
will be improved as funds become
available, Stott explained, with the
uppermost aim being "to make the
park useable and desirable for ev
ery member of the family."
President. Bernard Leary an
nounced that 1950 officers for the
Merchants association will be elec
ted at the February meeting. A
report on the Christmas promo
tional program of the group in
1949 will also be made as will a
summary of the achievments of
the group in 1949.

Cooperation . No Money
Mr. James said everyone is co
operating but money is not as
readily available this year an it
evidently was last.
Each school. Ucauiort and
Morehead City, raised about $r>o6
each in the campaign. Beaufort a
chieved this same goal last year,
Mr. James said, but Morehead City
school did better this year than in
1949.
Although the campaign closes to
day, contributions may be marled
to A. II. James, Morehead City, in
to A. II. James c/o the court house,
Beaufort.
The $7,200 quota is (he minimum
amount required to fill present
and potential needs in Carteret
county in the fight against polio.
