more rigidly within town limits on
Sunday, a deputation of Beau tori
I white and colored ministers told
Beaufort commissioners at their
monthly meeting Monday night.
Four ministers, two white and
two colored, presented a resolution
signed by sijy ministers asking the
town to see that no enterprises
not necessary to the public welfare,
remain open on Sunday.
The ministerial croup made it
plain that their plan did not or
iginate with them but with interest
ed church members.
At first the clergymen asked the
town board to enact an ordinance !
prohibiting the operation of any
business on Sunday unless such
operation was "necessary to the
public welfare." However, after the
town attorney. Wiley II Taylor, jr..
advised them that state laws at- j
ready existed which prohibit any j
but necessary Sunday operation. I
the ministers asked the town auth 1
on tics to sec that these laws are j
enforced.
No Action Taken
Since strict enforcement of the
ministers' request would cause ex
treme changes in Ihe operation'
of many Beaufort businesses, the
4tfwn commissioners agreed to ae- i
cept the resolution for further con- 1
sideralion but not lot immediate
action.
Ministers who appeared were j
Winfrey Davis. I). B. McClain. M.
Carter and W. I Martin. Other j
names on the resolution were W K. ;
Anderson and T R. Jenkins.
Complaint Presented
Clyde Owens appeared to com I
plain about the no parking regula
tion on the south side of Broad st.
from the fire station east. He said
the regulation worked a hardship
on his business and other busines
ses on the south side and asked
why such a regulation was enacted
Fire Chief C. B. llarrell. who
was at the meeting, explained that I
?no p^rkinj; was enforced on the
OMth sid? of ' Broa*: t. ill order I
to give tin- fi?e trucks an open
lane from the fire station out to
highway 70. He said the condition
of the center ol the street where i
the railroad tracks were located 1
was such that il w.?s dangerous to
drive the truck down Ihe center of
the street at any but slow speed.
Storeowner Owens still complain
ed that it was a hardship on his
customers to have to park across
Ihe street from his store rather
than in front of it Comnimission
er D.F. Merrill said if such was the
case Owens should install drive-in
facilities for his customers.
No action was taken toward re
moving the no parking regulation.
Chief Harrell asked the board !
if any action had been taken in re- i
gard to his request for a pay raise |
for Beaufort's two full-time fire- j
men. He was told that the commit- j
tee to investigate a possible raise
had not met. Commissioner Gra
ham Duncan, jr., said he thought
the town should think first about
some means of giving the police
men a day off a week and a vaca
tion once a year, neither o! which
they receive now.

For Letters to GIs
Cpl. William Frank Willis, son
of (Jeorge Willis, Morchcad City,
recently sent his second letter to
THE NEWS-TIMES from Korea,
where he is stationed. His 'first let
ter. asking for home support in the
Korean war. appeared on page 1
in the Aug. 4 issue of THE NEWS
TIMES.
His most recent correspondence
follows:
"No matter where your service
man may be. in Europe. America,
or Korea, these headlines will al
ways be true: 'Letters from Home
Still Tops in G1 Morale.' Yes, he
may have other forms of entertain
ment such as movies, but the letter
from home still rates number 1 in
the (J I s slack time (if and when he
gets any).
"You can look at one any time
and he will be reading that out
dated letter from Mom or the girl
friend back home. He likes to hear
oi the date his kid sister had the
other night. He likes to know who's
sick so he can wish them luck in
his next letter home.
"And this is the thing to think
about. That next letter may be a
long way off, but you c$n bet that
when he gets a break he will write.
Although you may go weeks with
out one from him, please don't wait
that long to answer.
"Write to your G1 today, right
now. and at least once a week. It
will help a great deal. Your letters
keep reminding them of the things
they are fighting for. ?
"The morale of our servicemen
is the highest in the world. That's
what makes them the greatest in
the world. Your letters will help
them to get home sooner."

On April 7. HMO. a petition was
fifed in the District Court ot the
United States in the Eastern l)is

organization under the Act of Con
gress relating to bankruptcy. The
petition was granted by the Honor
able Don Gilliam, Judge, at a hear

At this hearing the following ap
pointments were made: William H.
Potter, trustee; S. A. Chalk, co
trustee; Willis Smith, attorney;
Ted K. Ilosick, auditor. Mr. Chalk
was a director of the Madix Cor

purpose of continuing the opera

the hope that a plan of re-organi

pointees immediately entered upon
the performance of their duties.
At this time it was thought by
those requesting re-organization
that the Corporation was solvent,
but later audits proved that it was
on the verge of insolvency. The
trustees took over a manufacturing
plant that was improperly equipped
for efficient operations.

Dr. A. y. Chestnut, shellfish spec
