Komlthaler The paved road project on Ocra eoke Island is ncaring completion this week. The three men in charge of the work. Fred N. Poole, super intendent, C. Y. Griffin, engineer, and L. L. Bishop, foreman, were en tertained last Friday night by the local roads committee members at the home of Carlcton Kelly. Be sides giving the three ' mainland ers" plenty of Pamlico Sound shrimp. Ocracoke fried chicken, and Carolina strawberry shortcake, with accessories to match, the com mittee recognized their services to the Island with letters of commen dation and with souvenir photo graphs ol historic Ocracoke Light house. Members of the local com mittee are Theodore Rondthaler, R. S. Wahab. Benjamin E. Spencer. Carlcton Kelly, and Clarence Scar borough. Superintendent Poole believes that the problems of road building on Ocracoke Island are unique in the state of North Carolina. Roads have been built at other places on the Outer Banks, but never before at a place where equipment and supplies could not be brought in by truck. The only connection with Ocracoke is by boat and the short est distance from any mainland town is HO miles. All cement for the job was brought from the factory at Nor folk by way of two Ocracoke boats. So heavy is the present demand for cement that the bags were put aboard the boats by mechanical conveyor straight from the grind ing machines, and the freshly made cement was too hot to handle with human hands. With hatches closed against rain and sea, the heat of the cement in the hold opened up the seams of one of the boats en gaged in the hauling and forced it to drop out of the work. Fourteen round trips Ocracoke to Norfolk were required to haul the cement alone, or a total of 3.360 miles by water. Water for the cement work had caused concern to the high**-^' thoritics at Raleigh, but proveii v problem. It had been reported that the Navy, for its cement work dur ing the war. had hauled in water by the barge load to Ocracoke. Ac tually. the Navy had hauled in wat er, but it was drinking watcjr, aftes the great storm of '44 had splashed salt water into the Navy's cisterns. Water for the recent road building was found in abundance 3 to 4 feet below the surface everywhere on the Island. Sea Sand Used It had been doubted whether sea sand (the only kind available on Ocracoke) would serve for road building. Kxamination showed, however, that a half mile of road laid by the Navy seven years ago had been made of cement and sea sand and has stood up with very little wear and tear. So the recent roads were made of sea sand and V1IIHIH. VUlllllK dim IIIIIIIK 11(13 been virtually unnecessary in the road building here. The concrete strip has simply adopted every where the "natural" level of the sand, which means that nearly all of it is actually lying for the most part between 2 and 3 feet above sea level. At one point, for a few hundred feet, it climbs to perhaps t 'eet above sea level in crossing a small "hill" created by pumpings from a dredging operation. L. L. Bishop, foreman, has been charged with the difficult task of treating satisfactory shoulders for the road. Since there is no earth or stone on Ocracoke, (only sand), nothing 'but vegetative grow th can make a road shoulder stay where it is put. Foreman Bishop, having sought advice from local residents about "the best" grass to plant, has received many differing opinions? none perhaps more sound than to take the salt-water grass that grows here naturally, and use it as turf. Then the first sea water that comes over in a storm won't kill it." The bringing of heavy equipment across from the mainland w qs near ly the Waterloo of the project.

Kerr Scott yesterday ap proved a special highway fund allocation for bridges which in cludes the project "across Koguc Sound between Morehcad City and Atlantic Beach in Carteret County." It has not been specified whether repairs will be made to the present bridge or a new one built. Residents in this area have long hoped for a completely new structure. The total allocation is $3,475, 00ft for six bridge projects in North Carolina. These projects, recently urged by federal engi neers as national defense mea sures, will be financed from the year-end highway surplus, the Governor said. Carteret County Librarian Resigns Mrs. L. A. Oakley Will Be Succeeded by Mrs. Paul Woodard, Beaufort Mrs. L. A. Oakley, librarian at the Carteret County Public library.' Beaufort, lor four years, has re signed. Taking her place will be Mrs. Paul Woodard. Beaufort. She was appointed at a meeting of the library board Thursday. Sept. 14. and will assume fulltime duties ttic latter f*art of this month. 'Mrs. Oafttey sutw. 'U<1 her il.sig nation the middle of August. sh? reported, "toi a variety of rea sons." Siie accepted the position in July 1946, succeeding Mrs. James Rumley. During her years as 1 1 ha man, circulation has increased by 11.0(H) books a year, a large new reading room has been opened, many new sets of shelves added, and a pro gram undertaken whereby books are being made available to the col ored folks through the schools. The latter project is one on which Mrs. Oakley has worked long and says she is most proud to have accomplished. Mrs. Woodard is the wife of War rant Officer Paul Woodard.

Members 01 me tseauiort s wo man's elub. the town clerk, and ! members of the town crew met Tuesday afternoon at the home oi I Mrs. W. \. Woodard, Woman's club j president, to discuss garbage col lection methods and regulations. The Woman's club has undertak- j en as one of its projects this year j systematized collection of garbage. One suggested regulation, elimi nation of all back yard collections, except at the rear of stores or where there are through alleys. ? was met with enthusiastic approval by the town crew. Driving into backyards, ol" which there are at least 100 such collec tions. the men said, requires a great amount of time. Other regulations approved by the Woman's club are those which the town has already set forth in an ordinance, Garbage cans shall be of metal w ith "dog proof lids and shall be no larger than 30 gal Ion capacity in residential districts and no larger than 55 gallon capac ity in the business district. Sand, bricks or rocks must not br placed in garbage cans and the cans shall be removed from the curb immediately after collection. Neither shall town trash cans on Front street be used for garbage. Schedule The town crew was instructed to work out a schedule on collect ing garbage so that persons in var ious neighborhoods would know on which day their garbage will be picked up. The men will submit this schedule to Dan Walker, town clerk. At present each of the five members of the town crew works 57 hours a week. They begin work each day. Monday through Satur lay at 5 a.m. and work until t> a.m.. then return to work at H a.m.. work j fill rioni , tnKe un h< ur f >r l?n> h ! and work until 5 p.m. On Sundu.sj they work three hours, from 5 am to 8 a.m. At the meeting it was suggested ' that the men be given Saturday J afternoons off. With more sys- | tematizcd collections, it was be lieved this would be possible. Certain of these suggestions will j have to be submitted to the town board for approval at the October meeting, Mr. Walker said. The Woman's club will print and distribute handbills carrying the new garbage regulations. ' Attending Tuesday's meeting, in addition to Mr. Walker and Mrs. Woodard, were Mrs. James Hum ley and Mrs. Gerald Hill of the Woman's club, and the town crew members, Theodore Hicks, Troy llunnings. Steve Bcachcm. Calvin ! Swain, and Clyde Peterson, street ' superintendent. Morehead City Town Board Accepts Audit, Hears Salesmen The Morehcad (Hty t^wn board I accepted the audii for the fiscal j year ended June 30, 1^50. heard j two fire equipment salesmen, and handled routine matters at their board meeting in the municipal building Tuesday night. The town ended the year with a $3,877.85 deficit and total general fund deficit of $102,813.63. Taxes and penalties collected during the year amounted to $84. 104.17.

A. Ausbon. auditor, comment ed that accounts receivable at the hospital amount to $72,581.36 and that most of these are uncollect able. He suggested that the town hoard urge the hospital board of trustees to write these debts off rather than carry them on the books year after year. "The hospital administrator said he first wanted to go through all the accounts arid itemize thejo. and I reckon maybe he will," remarked the auditor, "but every other hos pital administrator has promised [hat too and it has never been done." Cash on hand and on deposit at Ihe end of the year amounted to 151,500.39, but this amount is se cured by the bank only up to $26. 900, Mr. Ausbon said. The board agreed that thfe First Citizens Bank snd Trust company should post se curity bonds to cover the full a mount oil deposit. The 1949-50 year's uncollected taxes amount to $58,766.08. Collec tions represent 90.46 per cent of the total levy. Collections in 1048 a mounted to only 88.74 per cent of the levy. Turned over to the hospital from the ABC store Has $14047.17.

John Barnes, representative of the Orcn Fire Equipment company and Bill Morgan, representative of American LaFrance, attempted to sell fire equipment to the town board, but action was impossible because the full board was not pres ent. The board adopted a ruling a hntit a year ago stating that no purchase over $500 could be made Set AUDIT, Page 4 Markers Islanders' troubles reached Raleigh thi* week when State HEA Director Ciw.vnn Price commented to members of the Advisory Budget commission that on Ilarkers Island phone con versations are frequently picked ui) by radios and for that reason Markers Island residents are having their phones removed ! I. A Daniels, manager of Caro lina Telephone and Telegraph com- ; pany. Morehead City. said that hi' j hadn't hoard any complaints along i that line lor a year. 'Carrier System* When the phones were first in stalled. he said, there were com- j plaints A "carrier system" is used. 1 This utilizes waves along transmis- j sion line, and frequently the ra- < dios ' broadcast" telephone conver sations. Maxwell Willis, manager of RKA on llarkers Island, said that the phone company used the carrier system, as he understood it. to eliminate running another line He? said that at first there were about 25 phones on the island, but some people have had them taken out because their conversations were broadcast and now he believes there are between 15 and 2(1 Mr Daniels estimates that there arc 18 to 1!) phones on the island. Situation 'Awful' Mr. Willis commented to a M-.WS TIMKS reporter yesterday. I 'Anything you can write about this situation we sure would appreciate J because it's awful." Mr. Daniels stated that if they j are having trouble on tin- island j now. nothing has been reported to him. TIIK NKWS TIMKS could not learn why the State RKA president appeared this week before the bud Kct commission and brought up the Markers Island plume issue Ac cording to an Associated Press dis- J patch. Mr. Price said he hoped "the ' bugs would be eliminated from the ; carrier wave principle of phone j transmission so that private con- j vcrsations would be private." Judge Imposes Light Sentence On Braxton Hall Braxton I I;i 1 1 . chafgcd with ; ! sault with a deadly weapon near I \ the Sombrero hotel. Atlantic j.Bcach. early last Saturday morn- j i i lit;, was ordered to pay a $10 fine and eosts in recorder's court Tues day. Peggy Spray, involved in the in cident, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, but those charges against her were dismissed, while Walter Disney, jr., the man whom Hall slashed with a knife, has had a charge of assault on a female lodged against him as the result of statements he made on J the witness stand. Testimony revealed that at 4 [o'clock Saturday morning the two, j men and Peggy Spray were in cabin at the rear of the Sombrero! hotel. Disney had an argument j with the woman and struck her. knocking her to the floor, he said. Hall came to her aid and helped | her up, telling Disney not to mu I lest him (Hall) since he was a J tubercular patient and not strong enough to fight. | Hall and the woman then went outside to Hall's car. got inside I and locked the doors and rolled ; up the windows to protect them selves from Disney, they said, and j prepared to leave. Left Purse I As they were leaving, the Spray | woman remembered that she had left her poekcthonk inside the cab m and asked Hall to.go back for it. He turned back and called for' I Disney, thinking that by the time he would have calmed down, i Hall asked Disney to get the ' pocket book. He went into the cabin | and got it and came back to the car. Hall then rolled down the I window of the car to t.ike it from | him, still thinking that Disney j was no longer angry. To Hall's surprise, he testified, as soon as the window was rolled | down Disney reached into the car and grabbed him and began shaking him and boating on him. I Hall told the court that he tried | to free himself and roll the win dow back up, but without suc | cess. Pulls Knife Finally Hall said he grew des perate. He pulled out a knife and I slashed at Disney's arm. After a | few passes, across Disney's lower right arm Disney decided to give up and withdrew his arm, allowing Hall and the Spray woman to leave. This all took place across from the Sombrero in front of New man Willis's service station, accor See COURT, Page 5 Negro Fishermen Sing Their Way into National Spotlight Reservists on the Range Official ISM< I'hiiin.
