How Bad Cross Helped
One Carteret Coonlian
When Tom R? a county resident,
changed jobs recently, to work for
a concern that paid only once a
month instead of every week, as
he had been paid previously, he
was faced with a serious financial
problem.
The new job offered a better liv
ing for himself, his wife and his
three children, but bills had to be
met and the small amount of cash
the family had on hand was being
used for everyday emergencies.
A veteran of the war. he finally
decided ' to go to the Ked Cross
and explain his plight, and the
Home Service department, of
which Mrs. 1. D. Rumley is chair
mm. was immediately able to help
him by loaning him some funds
until his first paycheck on his new
job came through.
Money given to the Ked Cross
drive is used locally to help for
mer service people.

Beaufort to Annex School Property;
Board Establishes New Dump Area
Beaufort commissioners voted
unanimously Monday night to an
nex the Beaufort school proper
ty, bringing it within the town's
corporate limits.
This move had been discussed
recently by the Beaufort Planning
board.
Town Attorney Wiley H. Taylor,
jr.. suggested that the board pub
lish a legal advertisement on the
annexation but the board said they
believed this unnecessary since
there are no residents in the sec
tion to be annexed.
Opposition Continues
The board also reiterated their
opposition to proposed rate in
creases for Tide Water Power com
pany. Mr. Taylor told the board
that a final hearing on the rate
increase would be held in Raleigh
next Thursday. The board author
ized him to represent the town at
the hearing and to state Beaufort's
opposition.
In discussing the power com
pany Mr. Taylor revealed that sev
eral letters had been written re
questing installation of a fire hy
drant at Front and Fulford st. He
said the company had not even
shown the courtesy of replying to
the letter, much less taken any
positive action toward installing
the hydrant.
No Dumping
After March 15, next Wednes
day, the board decided, no more
dumping of Crash or garbage will
be permitted at the present town
dump in West Beaufort. Instead
a new dump will be set up behind
Quinn's fish factory and all dump
1 ing will be done there.
Gerald Woolard, newly-appoint
ed town building inspector, re
ported on his work within the past
month.
Mr. Woolard said he found that
I only a small percentage of recent
I building was by permit from the
town. The main reason for this
negligence, he said, was ignorance
of the law. The building inspec
tor explained that to combat this
| ignorance a letter has been sent

Referee Issues
Ruling in Case
Of Beaufort Finn
Beaufort Cannery, defunct Beau
fort canning firm, will be abandon
ed to its two largest secured cred
itors next Thursday unless an ap
peal is made before that date, Jo
seph B. Chesirc, jr., referee in
bankruptcy, ruled at a hearing in
Raleigh Monday.
The two largest creditors arc Dr.
Romeo A. Luongo, Philadelphia,
who holds a $60,000 deed of trust on
the property and Food Machinery
corporation, Iloopston, 111., which
holds a title retaining interest in
machinery installed in the canning
plant. The machinery will be re
leased to them for approval next
Thursday unless an appeal is made
by that date.
It is reported that, however, that
strong possibility exists that an ap
rSl will be made before then. While
the canning company was in receiv
ership. the First Citizens Bank and
Trust company advanced a loan of
$4,000 on receivership certificate
to the firm. This money was spent
in the cost of administering the
receivership.
Cheshire ordered the two cred
itors to pay $2,400 to the bank in
payment of this loan. It is believed
that the machinery company will
contest this payment and thus hold
up abandonment proceedings.
Informed sources also stated that
there is a further possibility that
Dr. l.uongo will find a purchaser
for the firm and buy off the in
terest held by the machinery com
pany. If this is done, the aband
onment proceedings will com
mence.
