For Committeemen 4 Thursday Lawyers Say Company Hiked^ Rate to Sell Stock Wiley Taylor, Jr., Beau fort Attorney, Attends Hearing at Wilmington Resident consumers are bearing tlN brunt of a Tide Water Power company rate increase designed "tolely to attract buyers of stock," representatives of three protesting towns charged Wednesday in New ' Hanover superior court. X A. Jones of Klnston led the tight by the towns of Whiteville, Beaufort and Bayboro as the hear ing before Judge Clawson L. Wil liams went into its second day. At tending on behalf of Beaufort was WUey Taylor, jr., attorney. b) a long argument marked by readings from masses of evidence, ( Jones charged that in granting the increase the State Utilities commis sion had "failed to find the cen tral facts as required by law." "Tide Water sought only to per suade the commission that the rate increase was necessary to attract bttyors of stock," said Jones. '"Oiere was no effort to prove that the rates then in existence were , not fair and just." Jones contended that Tide Wat er buys 85 per cent of its power from the Carolina Light and Power company, yet resells it to custom en at a rate from one-fourth to one-third higher than the rate charged by the generating com pany. "The questions involved in this hearing are whether the utilities commission met the requirements of the law in passing the increase." said the Kinston attorney. "We contend that the commission had * inaufficient evidence on which to baae its granting of the increase." He also contended, that the In crease wh discriminatory in that mUent customers, rather than in dustrial users, were bearing the burden of the hike. He cited as evidence of this charge the fact that Tide Water contracts with electrical cooperatives in Its terri tory, contracts which would lessen company revenue, had been enter tered as part of the company's case i> seeking the increase. ,uff Inspector Issues 3$ven Permits ' -,S?ven permits for coiutruction wrirk in Beaufort during November were issued by the building in spector, Gerald Woolard Cost of tM construction was estimated at SI, 950.

Rolling off the assembly line at the Carroll Crockett oyster can ning factory, Beaufort, are Double Eagle brand canned oyster meats. Production began last Monday and boats from all over the county are bringing the shellfish to the little factory located at the west end of Broad street. Outdoor Picking Room In an outdoor picking room, col ored employees open the oysters which have been taken from the boats in iron cars, rolled on tracks to boilers where they are steamed for 5 minutes, and then moved to the pickers. ? The meats are sprayed and wash ed in perforated stainless steel con tainers before they are sent to the packing room where again they arc put through two more washes. On the packing table, the seafood is placed in two sizes of cans, all enamel lined. After weighing, the cans (6V4 ; ounce and 4 2/3 ounce sizes), go to the exhaust machine where air is removed, then the can is sealed and processed at 240 degrees for 12 minutes. When the specified j time has elapsed the canned meats : are quickly chilled by immersing them in cold water and the next day the bright red "Double Eagle" labels go around the cans. Packed in Cartons Packed in small corrugated car tons, Carteret county oyster meat is then really for shipment to mar ket. Crockett, operator of the fac tory, last year had his canning works in Morehead City and in years prior at Englehard.

Fire Chief Urges -Parents To Guard Matches in Home In the hands of a child, matches ?re potentially more dangerous than a loaded fun. So says Fire Chief C. B. Harrell at Beaufort who points out once ? ballot ia fired, it is tpent An improperly used match map spread havoc in a terrible chain (taction. Chief Harrell urges parents and teachers to repeatedly stress to youngsters a match is something to be feared and shunned. Arson committed by children is a major national menace and threatens to become a national disgrace, he maintains. Latest tye-year figures show 25,400 fires were caused by child ren with matches. Property loss was estimated at $3,750,000. In Philadelphia alone so far this year destruction has reached about $500,000 from this cause. This city, In fact, now lists the Ju venile arsonist as its most seri ous cause of fire "Basically, no child should carry matches, even the safety type," says Chief Harrell. "I doubt very modi If little RoUo will develop a personality quirk or a frustration if parents taboo playing with {ire. "However, ?ince even the best educational program can't be per fect, it's a good idea to educate the child on what to do in case of fire. Above all, he must be taught that if a fire gets out of con trol ? whether he or other young sters started it ? he must go to the nearest fire alarm baa to turn in an emergency signal and stay there until firemen arrive." The chief also cautioned parents to keep matches from the reach of toddlers.
