Carteret County News-Times A Merger Of TW Brnufwt News (??(. J?M> ir The Twin ( My Than (rat. 1?M) EDITORIAL PAGE TUESDAY, SEPT. 19. 1950 The Hazards of Bridges Street Bridges street (highway 70) is one of the most traveled thor oughfares in Morehead City and for that reason one can expect accidents on that street to be more frequent. But in an effort to make the highway through the town less hazardous, the town board has set a 25-mile speed limit ? which is seldom if ever obeyed by motorists. (The speed limit on Arendell street, except through the business section, is 35 miles an hour). It is easily understandable why many of the residents along Bridges street, who have young children, are alarmed about the situation. Almost everything possible has been done to make the high way safer, with one exception. Stop signs are missing at many of the intersections where side streets meet Bridges. One may think that a motorist should have enough sense to stop at intersec tions even though there is no sign, but we'll wager nine tenths of the accidents 'Which occur are the result of motorists not having "enough sense." From 14th to 17th streets on Bridges, there are stop signs on the south side of Bridges street only. At 18th. right at the shop ping center where Stroud's, Dom's, and many other stores are lo cated, there is no stop sign, in spite of the fact that traffic right at that intersection is heavy. There are no stop signs at all where 18th, 19th, 21st, 23rd, and 25th streets enter Bridges. Because highway 70 is state-maintained, it is the state high way department's responsibility to place stop signs at all those intersections. Then, if the 25-mile an hour speed limit is strictly obeyed by motorists. Bridges street would be well on its way to be coming one of the safest streets in town. A Departure Seen With Regret With the departure of A1 Stinson, Carteret county loses a citizen who rapidly became one of us and who gave an admirable boost to the county farm program. During Mr. Stinson's short year here, 4-H pig and calf chains have been organized, (the calves have already won prizes at a stork show), the boys' 4-H club work has expanded, and many things were made possible which were otherwise out of the ques tion when the county agent was expected to handle all the work. Not only has Mr. Stinson assisted in 4-H work, he helped in all phases of the farm program with ability and interest, -charac teristics that are rarely found these days. His work in Carteret county is deeply appreciated and we know that after his service in the Army ends, he has a successful career ahead of him. Sou'easter By Captain Henry Ayeock Brown and his family I have moved to Manted. For tfie past several years the Browns have been living at ftje# Bern. Our new postmaster has not yet taken over his duties at the post office. Mr. Betts is supposed to be installed some time by post office department officials. Capt. Walt Dunkle is an accom plished individual, but you don't know anything about him until you've heard him turn a tunc at the piano. He stops in at Nelson's music house every so often and persons passing by think someone is inside pumping a player piano. On the contrary, it's Captain Walt putting boogie woogie artists to shame. Judging from a scene witnessed the other day, Tide Water meter readers have taken to camping on the town hall steps. Well, there are always more ways than one to collect a bill. It looks as though the Budd blue berry farm has been given up as a nonpaying proposition. Ray i 1 mond Wells, former manager, has returned to New Jersey ajul no one has arrived 4o replace Jura. Fall tfll indeed upoon us. The herring**|ulls have returned from their summer vaeations. Frequent ly they perk themselves atop tele phone poles and light poles. As far as they're concerned the poles are merely mis-placed pilings. There must be nothing that makes a Hull madder than to drop his clam on the highway and light to eat it, only to have a car bear down on him and chase him away not only that, but run over his dinner in the bargain. Many a gull has had his wing clipped, I bet, by the fender of an automobile when he thought he had time to gulp down his clam before the monster of machinery bore down on him. Ask Judge Duncan how he's do ing with his new sharpie. All the youngsters in these waters who think they arc pretty good sailors better watch out. Each time I pass a church 1 always pay a visit; So when at last I'm carried in, The Lord won't say, "Who is it?" In The Good Old Days THIRTY-THREE YEARS AGO A large crowd was on hand at the railroad station to see the Beau fort boys who were leaving for Camp Jackson, S. C. Six suffragists were given 30 days in jail in Washington, D. C. The presiding judge explained he was making the sentence light aince their banners, with the words "Mr. President, how long must wo men wait for liberty?" were so harmless. TWKNTY-FIVE YEARS AGO D. If. Jones was advertising the new Overland which was selling for $585. Beaufort public school had open ed with 322 pupils enrolled. Of this number. 75 were high school students, the other 247 grammar and primai v pupils. Town commissioners approved (he plan for extending the town limits as suggested by C. R. Wheat Iy. TEN YEARS AGO The A&P was advertising three pounds of coffee at 37 cents. Lon Bolich of Winston-Salem was seeking to lease the Morehead City Port Terminal. If successful he hoped to buy the Atlantic and East Carolina railroad. FIVE YEARS AGO Halsey Paul received his first Dodge truck since the beginning of the war. Loftin Motor company had so far received four Ford trucks. Eastman Furniture company an nounced that it had the franchise for the Bendix washer.

He expressed great interest in the school health program stating that he did all ; he could in the last general assem-j bly to enlarge the public health j appropriation. He also touched on the stream pollution problem, asking health workers to urge their senators and representatives to do something at the next general assembly to solve the problem. I)r. Ennett commented yesterday that the coastal towns, such as Beaufort and Morehead City, .should join Governor Scott ir> his campaign with the hope that the general assembly would no4-??ly do away with river and stream pollution but would also do away with the sewer pollution of bathing beaches on the coast. I)r. R e y n o 1 ds , former state health officer, now living in Cal ifornia, set up an annual award known as "The Reynolds Award" to be given to the person or health department doing outstanding health work.

There were 600 health workers at the meeting. The officers for the coming year are Harold F. Parker, Winston - Salem, presi dent; Dr. J. J.

Nel son, chairman, Mrs. T. T. i'otter, Beaufort, and Cecil Morris, Atlan tic. The welfare superintendent, Thomas McGinnis, serves as secre tary.

Since coming to Carteret county in July of IQ49 Stinson's work in the county agent's office has been concerned primarily with the 4-H clubs. Since his employment. 4-H work has expanded greatly, taking in more members and embracing a wider program. County Agent R. M. Williams stated. The assistant county agent's ser vices and presence will be missed, Williams commented. He said all Jhose connected with Stinson felt -a 4oss at his parting. Nevertheless, the county agent explained, the county's agricultural program must continue.

State, Federal Government Agree On Park Area Boundaries of the proposed Cape Hatteras National Seashore recre ational area on North Carolina's Outer Banks have been agreed up on. Th^c area, which would be the first federal seashore park, cov ers rugged country which offers excellent fishing and waterfowl hunting. The boundaries extend on the north from Whalebone, three miles south of Nags Head, to the south ern tip of Oeracoke island. Areas around the Banks villages are ex empted to permit expansion to pro vide facilities for tourists and sportsmen. The boundaries were recommended by the National Park Service and accepted by the North Carolina Cape Hatteras Seashore commission. The Park Service specified that the area must include a minimum of 33,000 acres. Already the North Carolina and Federal governments own 12,000 to 15,000 acres within the boundaries. Surveys will de termine what land must be ac quired and what the actual acreage Of the recreational area will be. The Cape Hatteras Seashore com mission appointed a committee of three to appraise the property to be acquired. The committee plans to report to the full commission by Dec. 1 on the estimated cost of acquisition. The next stop would be for the commission to ask Governor Scott | and the North Carolina Council of State for supplementary funds to cover the estimate. These funds would be turned over to the Na tional Park Service, which would proceed with the acquisition.
