NO. 69 EIGHT PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY, AUG. 29, 1950 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS Skipper, Six Girls Rescued By Coast Guara^riday Night Directors Accept V. C. Matthews' Resignation Dr. Darden J. Eure Heads Chamber of Commerce; 121 Join Organization The resignation of W. C. Mat thews, president of the Morehead City chamber of commerce was ac cepted by the board of directors at ? the regular monthly meeting Thurs day night. This was deemed advis able in view of Mr. Matthews' need for complete rest in order to recov er from his recent illness. Manager Robert Lowe reported. Dr. Darden J. Eure, former vice president, who has served the chamber as acting president for the greater part of this fiscal year was unanimously elected to the presidency to complete the present term of office. Director D. G. Bell was elected to the vice-presidency. k A report on the final results of the recent membership campaign showed that the chamber of com merce has, at present, 121 paid members; and pledges, falling due between now and Nov. 1, for 48 others. This will be the largest enrollment in the history of the Morehead City chamber. The board instructed Manager ' Lowe to appear in Kalcigh Sept. 6 at the hearing scheduled on that date to consider the request of Carolina Telephone and Telegraph company for increased rates for telephone service. The State Utili ties commission has been petition- j ed by the telephone company to | raise phone rates of all classifica tions. Mr. Lowe was instructed to i register a general protest, pending I the presentation of evidence. This [ does not necessarily mean that the Morehead City chamber will arbi- j trarily oppose any rate increase, t it was stated. It is the purpose of the board, however, to leave a way open fiA specif protests should the evidence presented by the tel ephone company not warrant a rate increase at the present time. A committee, headed by Dr. John ' Morris, was appointed to urge the sport fishing charter boatmen to establish and maintain uniform prices and services in order to re tain patronage in the Morehead City area.

The fire department was notified that Hanner and the girls had gone out in the boat before dark and had not returned when expected. At the same time, the Coast Guard was notified of the lost party and asked to assist in the search. Firemen Assemble When firemen assembled at the t station shortly after the alarm was turned in, several volunteered to ! take their boats and participate in j the search. Others offered to go | along as crew members. The "sailors" were preparing to begin the search when the all clear alarm was rung from the sta- [ lion. They returned there and learned J that the Coast Guard had found | Hanner and his party stranded in Villa Creek just east of the Bogue ; Sound club five miles from More- i head City. Hanner told Coast Guardsmen ! tliat he had gone into the creek i just as darkness was falling. After j he had traveled some distance up the creek his motor stopped and, | in addition, the creek became so { dark that he could not have found his way out even if the motor had | turned over. The Hanner boat and party were j towed out into Bogue Sound and i back to their moorings as soon as the Coast Guard found the party, i False Alarm At 11:45 a.m. Saturday firemen received a false alarm from More head City hospital. An elevator j mechanic at the hospital was test- . ing the new elevator and ran it ; down to the bottom of the shaft, j When he did. the elevator struck ( a fire alarm wire, pulling it loose lrom the alarm box and turning in the alarm. When firemen arrived they found it necessary only to reconnect the wire. No other damage was caused. Five CoSisions y Occur in Morehead Five accidents occurred in More head City over the weekend, none of them serious and no one was injured. Charges were not prefer red in any of the five. First of the mishaps occurred Friday morning at 40 minutes past midnight when George G. Lowe of Cherry Point, driving a 1949 Ford, made a left turn off Fisher st. into N. 13th st. Lowe turned too far to the left as he made the turn and struck a 1949 I'ontiac, driven by Henry M. Shepard of Morehead City, which had come to a stop at the corner. Neither car received more than slight damages. Police Officers Bill Bowles and Buck Newsom investi gated. Friday morning at 9:35 an acci dent occurred between 11th and 12th st. on Arendell st. Thelma C. Penny of Morehead City RFD, driv ing a 1950 Nash, was parked at the curb and started to pull out into the line of traffic. She failed to notice that a pickup truck being driven by Carrie E. Taylor of North Har lowe was passing her car at the time. The Nash collided with the right rear fender of the truck, bending in the Nash's left front fender and the truck's right rear one. Officer Herbert Griffin inves tigated the accident. Saturday morning at 7:15 a.m., the third of the weekend's five col lisions took place at 18th and Aren dell st. when Russell A.

Guy Gillikin; Henry Eubanks. Mark Eu banks and his father. Manly Eu banks, all of Beaufort RED; Tom my Oglesby of Crab Point; Billy Simmons of Newport; Herbert Page of the Bogue Sound community; and Leo Watson of Pelletier. All eight calves of the Carteret County 4 II Calf chain are at the show, their first. A1 Stinson, assis tant farm agent, and R. M. Wil liams. county agent, spent last week working with the 4-H club boys, helping to fit the calves for the show. Showing of dairy calves is an art which not only requires time and work, but is excellent training for the boys. Mr. Williams remark cd. In fitting these animals for the show ring, the club member must i start working with his calf several < weeks before the show. Each ani mal must be taught to be led. stand with its head alert and squarely on its feet. There is lit tle chance of an animal winning that has to be pulled around the show ring, added Mr. Williams A properly-fitted animal is one that is carrying enough flesh to be in good condition. The horns and hoofs must be smoothed and pol ished, and the hair around the head, neck, udder, and tail must be clipped. Frequent washing will keep the hair and hide in good condition. The calf must be brush ed several times daily to give the hair a glossy coat. The animal ! should be blanketed to keep the ! coat clean which also gives a fin ished appea ranee. All of t :?? calve* at this *how will be judged according to the | Danish system. Mr. Williams con tinued. By this method the calves I will be classified into one, two, and j three groups, according to the ^condition and their fitness for the show. Each boy whose calf falls in a certain group will receive the j same amount of prize money. w ? v ? 1 i Driver Injured When Car Upsets Wilbur L.

Mr. Latham reported to the committee that he had access to I private funds to conduct an inves- j ligation on the extent of the al- i leged destruction to small food fish caused by trawling for shrimp. The committee ruled, however, that the Institute of Fisheries Research is "a duly constituted investigative agency and any investigation to be carried on shall be done under the institute's control."

Action was taken in regard to use of section base property also.
