GREENVILLE, June 6? After a
quarter of a century of service to
East Carolina Teachers college.
Dean of Women Annie L. Morton,
now living in Beaufort, gave an
official farewell last month to her
' girls" and to the campus which
has been her home for many years.
In 1925 Miss Morton came to
Greenville as East Carolina's sec
ond dean of women. She replaced
Mrs. Kate W. Beck with, who had
held the position for sixteen years.
"When 1 talked to President
Wright about the work," said Miss
Morton a few days ago, "I told him
I was a teacher whose experience j
had been largely with children. I
didn't know whether 1 could be a
dean." she commented.
"That's all right," replied the
East Carolina president. "You'll
just be dealing with children slight
ly grown up." So Miss Morton
left her position as principal of an I
elementary school and became the
friend and advisor of women stu
dents at the college. Her devotion |
to her work, her ability to handle
difficult situations with tact and
I efficiency, her interest in the wel ,
fare of students indicate that Dr.
Wright's confidence in her was
: justified.
700 Mudents
When Miss Morton became dean
of women at East Carolina, the i
college was a different place from j
what it has become in tin* last
twenty five years, she savs. The
student body was composed of wo
men 700 in number, many of them i
enrolled in the "normal" courses |
now discontinued at the college. '
Now. with an enrollment o! more
i than 1,600 each quarter of the
J 941) 1950 term, the college has had 1
! this year a slightly larger number j
of men than of women.
j As Miss Morton looks back over '
her years at the college, one of
the things which impress her is j
the rapid growth of East Carolina. 1
I The campus has changed remark
ably, she says. East Carolina was
in 1925 not nearly so beautiful as ;
; it is today There was little grass,
and a good deal of mud in wet
i weather and dust on dry days
; Ifardlv a sprout of green showed
; itself from Jarvis Hill on the west I
I campus eastward to the limits of |
the college property.
Vast Improvement
vVlie improvement," Miss Mor I
ton said recently, "is wonderful
Spacious lawns, a growing grove j
of holly and other trees on the cam
pus lacing Fifth street, shrubbery
including more than 300 handsome
camellias, paved roads and walks
all these, she commented, have
made the campus one of which the
| state may be proud.
Miss Morton has seen a lot of .
building being done in the past.
| and as she leaves much is still in ! (
progress. The Administration build- ' i

Motorists May
Exchange Tags
KAl Motorist: having on
their vehicles two 1950 license
plates on which flic paint is peel
in;' today wore asked bv the North
Carolina Department of Motor Ve
hicles to exchange the tags for new
one.v
The exchange will be made with
out cost to the motorist either by
mail from the Raleigh office or
upon application to any branch of
fire in the State. Where paint is
peeling on the front plate only,
the department did not request
motorists to make an exchange.
However if the motorist wishes new
plates m such cases, the exchange
will br made free of charge Where
the back plate remains legible, mo
tonsts may use the plates through
out the remainder of the >i:ar. Only
one plate was Used during the war
it was pointed out
The plates which arc peeling all
have an aluminum base. Since oth
er states have used aluminum sue
cessfully. department officials stat
ed that the manufacturing process
was believed to be responsible for
the defective plates. A shortage of
steel brought about by the steel
strike of several months ago made
it necessary for the department to
use aluminum for 100,000 sets ol
lOijO plates.
The department was hopeful that
all 100,000 sets would not have to
be replaced smce steel allocated
to manufacture of 1951 plates
would 'ha\e to be u^ed, delaying
production off next year's plates.
Ne*pmt "Man Sworn In
\ H. James, clerk of superior
court, appointed Moses C. Howard.
Newport, to fill the vacancy on the
county board left by the death of
Commissioner Wallace Styron, Sea
Level. Mr. Howard look office Fri
day morning.
A 10-cent recreation levy
for each $100 valuation xvas
carried by three votes in Sat
urday's referendum in More
head City. One hundred for
ty five person:; voted, 71 fur
and 71 against I lie levy.
Three hundred forty -five
person* had registered for
t h .? special election.
I* ('. Salisbury, registrar, com
mented that persons who register
ed hut did not vote probably be
lieved that an old law. h pealed in
1947, was still hi cffcet. This law
stipulated that a person registered
i *o vote, who did not east a ballot,
automatically registered an "a
gainst" or ? no" opinion. THE
NKWSTIMKS pointed out editor
ially .several weeks ago that this
law was no longer in effect.
Approval of the 10 cent levy
means that Morchead City's tax
iate will remain at $2.00 per bun
? died. Mad the recreation proposi
tion been voted down, the rate
would have cone down to $1.00 A
former port levy of 10 cents will
be dropped June M) The 10 cent
tax now will go into a recreation
fund rather than the port fund.
Mow the town board proposes to
set up the recreation program re
mams to be seen. There is a large
building on Shepard street, the Car
teret Wecreation center, which
coii Id be used as headquarters for
the program Persons m favor of
the tax supported recreation sys
tem generally Itelicved that voting
foi the Ml cent levy Was a vote for
retention ol the recreation center.
Tin . is not necessarily so The
ballot reads as follows: "FOB an
annual levy of I0c on each $100.00
of asscsse 1 valuation ot the taxable
property within the corporate lun
its of the Town of Morchead City
fi r providm conducting and main
taming .i supervised recreational
system for the Town ol Morchead
City "
The seeond proposition read
"ACS A INST . etc."
It remains entirely within the
1 jurisdiction of the town board ah
to the manner of netting up More
1 head < itys first tax-supported rec
reation program on au income of
1 approximately $4,300 annually
wlii' li the levy will provide.
Fire Causes $300
Damage to Home
approximately $300 lainage w as
caused to the home of Mrs. Molly
l>a\i>>, N. 8th st., Morehead City,
Knday altrrnoon at J :1b when
sparks ignited the ceiling of one
: room.
Kiremen arrived to find smoke
coming through the roof and from
under the eawis on the north cor
ner of the house. However, the
roof did not catch fire and dam
age was confined to one room.
Firemen stated that apparently
the tire was caused by sparks from
the chimney igniting some paper
, that had been stuffed under the
caves. They discounted the theory
made by bystanders that children
in the neighborhood threw matches
<ui the paper and caused the fire.
Saturday at noon firemen were
' summoned to the home of Capt.
\shton Willis, 1203 Fvans st.,
where a kerosene hot water heater
blazed up. By the tunc firemen ar
rived the fire was extinguished
with little damage caused
On both trips the firemen took
the new fire truck which has been
left in Morehead City on tiral. The
town commissioners saw the fire
truck demonstrated yesterday aft
ernoon.

Register of Deeds. Inquires
About 'High-Handed* Paving
When Ralph Pollock, second di j
vision highway commissioner went |
before the county board yesterda\
morning to obtain approval of a
re routing of the Wiggins Neck
road, Pelletier, Irvin Davis, regis
tcr of deeds, asked "Can you tell
me how the state can comc down
here and pave roads without ap
proval or recommendation ot tb?*
county '.ommissioners?"
Mr Pollock L-aid he didn't know
oi any roads that were paved with
ou,t the recommendation of the
countv Hoard. Mr Davis said that
the road at Otway never was
brought up before the county com
missioners. and that several other s
were handled in a "high handed'*
manner
He further stated that the Cedar
Island road is not on the county
system any farther than about 100
feet beyond the last house toward
Pamlico sound, yet paving is going
all the way to the sound
.1 L. Humphrey, county highwav
engineer, said he was merely fol
lowing the mileage on the map
given him
Mr. Davis asked: "What I'd like
to know is where they ?o^the
mileage from!" ?
Kvtr since the Scott administra
tion took over, county officials
said, commissioners have not been
consulted on road pawn;: projot
It was suggested t lidt the. attorney
general be consulted on the leq.il
