C. Jones of that city while the judge went off for the summer, and the Davis's did likewise? they came to North Carolina. Mr. Davis, of course, did not know the cat was in the house. That was July 5. Just this month when preparations were being made to open the Jones home a gjlin, the feline was discovered. I When picked up and placed on its feet, the puss fell as flat as a flounder.

A cry for hlrttf from the raging surf 100 yajrtfs <tf the beach late Saturday morning was heard by dozens of sun bathers in front of Atlantic Beach hue I. A little boy took off at his fas test for the life guard station in front of the nearby Casino to give an alarm. Major William H. Rankin, USMC, of Cherry Point sprinted across yards of sand and dove into the high tide waves piled into crazy sapes by steady wind and undertow. Dozens of others simply stood and gaped. Steady, strong, in sight, then lost in water. Major Rankin moved through the waves toward two bob bing heads. One head was that of seven-year old Mary Moorhead. She'd been playing safely where the big waves wound into something big that re minded her of hair done up in cur lers when - afterwards she could n't describe it specifically - some thing clutched her feet, then clutch ed all of her. The other bobbing head was that ol her father, thirty-seven-year old John Moorhead of Durham, an At lantic beach weekender who had come here with Mrs. Moorhead and his two other children. Moorhead hud seen his daughter pulled out to sea by undertow and had gone to her rescue. When he reached her both of them were about 100 yards out where outgo ing currents and incoming currents held them almost stationary. In his frenzied dash he expended vir tually all of his strength. Rankin probably reached them just in time. Moorhead was barely able to hold both himself and his daughter up. Afterwards, Rankin said he made the only decision possible and ac ted on it. hoping for the best. He look hold of the little girl and yelled to her father to try to stay afloat until he could return. Back through the waves he came. Battling undertow, expertly avail ing himself of the power of the incoming waves. Beach spectators lifted Mary from his arms. And Rankin was gone npaity Back to get her father. About half way out he met Moor head and Mike Galifianakis. the At lantic Beach life guard, the little boy had alerted. Rankin assisted Galifianakis and together they got Moorhead on the beach safely. Their job of mercy successfully completed, both Rankin and Galif ianakis hurried away to escape con gratulations. Even the little boy who did his part with rare in telligence, whose name no one knew, disappeared too. GermanCenumt Cargo Believed Due cb/Morehead City Oct . 10 A boatload f German cement is due to reach forehead City about Oct. 10, accon ing to reports from Raleigh, but tobert L. Hicks at Port Terminal Morehead City, said yesterday tha he has no cargo scheduled for arrival at that time and seriously doubts that a ship ment of cement will be coming in here. Lack of warehouse facilities make it impossible to handle that type of cargo. Mr. Hicks said. A report, as carried by Raleigh's News and Observer, follows: The Highway Commission said it had agreed to take 14,000 barrels. The rest will be used by contrac tors and other businesses. The Commission placed its order through George V. Howard of 2706 Van Dyke Street, Raleigh. Howard a former Army major, got inter ested in the import business while serving in the European Theater of Operations. The transaction is being handled in New York by Frank Teller As sociates of 148 E. 48th Street, New York City. The cement will be shipped from Bremen. Commission purchasing agents said they had agreed to pay $19.50 a metric ton for the imported pro duct. They rated a metric ton at 2,205.6 pounds. The Highway Commission pays roughly -53.50 a barrel for cement shipped to Raleigh from its normal suppliers. A barrel contains 376 pounds. A portion of the cement 11,730 barrels -had been earmarked for use on a soil-cement surfacing project between Atlantic Beach and Salter Path. But a substitute ma terial, asphalt or bituminous mix reportedly has been arranged for the work. Unless plans arc chang ed, this change would permit the commission to hold the full 14,000 barrels in a reserve for other work in the Morehead City and South eastern North Carolina area. The commission's decision to take part of the importers' cargo was made, officials said, primarily to back-up present supplies. Road Commission Paves 8.3 Miles in Onslow County The State Highway commission has paved 8.3 miles of road in Onslow county this summer under the $200,000,000 bond issue pro gram. W.
