Would Get Funds Beaufort would receive approxi I mately $13,316, Morehead City $15,038, and Newport $1,953 for paving of streets under the Powell i municipal aid bill recently intro- ; duced in the senate at Raleigh. This allotment is based on the 1940 census because 1950 data is ! not complete or final, states a re- j port on the paving proposal, made today, by the State Highway and Public Works commission. Thirty of North Carolina's larg est cities would get approximately $3,000,000 and the remaiinng $2. 000.000 will be divided among 353 other cities and towns. The bill, which is now in the i senate appropriations committee, would allocate $5.000, 000 directly to each town's governing body for Use on streets which do not form a part of the state highway system or county road connections. The j State Highway commission would | continue to maintain all streets i forming part of its highway system ! inside municipalities. The State Highway commission opposes allocating $5,000,000 an nually for street purposes unless additional revenue is made avail able. In a hearing on the bill last week, commission officials said all ! current highway funds arc badly ! needed for $300,000,000 worth of deficiencies on the state's primary highway system. * None of the $200,000,000 bond issue funds may be used on primary highways. Truck Backs Up, Damages Auto v A Buick sedan parked at 105 N. 6th'st.. Morehead City, and own ed by Mrs. S. F. Devillie, was dam aged at 9:30 Tuesday morning when a Gulf Refining co, truck, Morehead City, backed into it, po lice reported. The truck was being driven by Duncan Warren, 304 S. 17th st.. Morehead City. According to Of ficer Herbert Griffin, the truck, a 1949 Chevrolet, was backing out of an alley when the accident oc curred. Slight damage was caused to both vehicles. Due to icy streets two cars col lided at 7:55 p.m. Saturday a week ago on Bridges st., between 14th and 15th sts. The cars involved were a Plymouth driven by J. H. Perkins, 109 N. 22nd St., Morehead City, and a 1949 Nash driven by P. J. Rose, box 173, Havelock. Of ficer Buck Newsome investigated. According to police reports, a 1949 Cadillac sedan was slightly damaged at 2:30 p.m. Friday aft ernoon, Feb. 2, in front of More head City post office. A 1949 Chevrolet convertible, driven by Mrs. J. G. Marks, Club Colony. At lantic tfeach, scraped the Cadillac which was parked, causing approx imately $41 damage. Damage to the Chevrolet was $8. Driver of the Cadillac was David Mansfield of Mansfield. Assemblyman George W. Dill re ceived Saturday a petition from Newport residents requesting that they be exempted from the regu lations of the Cherry Point Air station zoning commission. Dill said that he will introduce a bill to that effect, as requested by the county board of commissioners. He added, however, that he felt "control of that area along the liighway" would be a good thing. Dill stated Sunday that unless someone proved to him that it was impractical, he would vote for the Powell municipal aid bill which last week passed the Senate. The Powell bill provides for division of $r> million among the municipali ties for improvement of town and city streets. The bill would distribute funds on the basis of population and mile age within the town. The former mayor ol Morehead City, now Car teret's legislative representative, commented that he is most inter ested in the municipal level of gov ernment and he's in lavoi of such measures as the Powell bill which do things directly for the people, Towns Control Funds Under this distribution of state highway funds to municipalities, the town board would have com plete control of the money. Dill continued. The work could be done by the state or by private con tractors, at the discretion of the board. Last week saw the first real split in administration and anti-admin istration forces in the legislature, the issue being the aid to munici palities street bill. In the House, Royster, a Scott man, introduced a bill which would provide funds for city streets by putting on an additional 1 cent per gallon gas tax. This wouH require a referendum. Dill explain ed, and he continued, "1 believe that the governor favors such a bill because he knows that the peo ple would vote against it." (The State Highway commission is a gainst diverting $5 million of its funds to municipalities, claiming that at least $300,(KX).(HM) is needed to improve the primary road sys tem). Labor Hearing Carteret's legislator remarked that the most interesting event to him during the recently past week at Raleigh was the hearing on re peal of the anti-closed shop law. A bill introduced by Clyde Shreve of Guilford, and others, would make closed shops legal in this state, whereas they have been il legal since the 1949 legislature. The hearing took place before the committee on manufacturing and labor, of which Dill is a mem ber. Attending the hearing were CIO and AFL officials, representa tives of the Brotherhood of Hail way Clerks, also individual work ers opposed to closed shops. The union, and pro-Shreve bill advocates, claimed that the state's anti-closed shop law goes even fur ther than the Taft-Hartley law and deprives labor of the right to eon tract its services. They presented statistics as proof that workers prefer closed shops. Worker Testifies A worker from the Mojud hos iery mill, who said he had worked in a closed and open shop, said he preferred the latter. In the clos ed shop, there is no contact be See DILL, Page 6 War Claims Deadline Near , County Service Officer Says World War II veterans who were prisoners of war, or their surviv ors. must file claim by March 1, 1951 for the doilar-a-day benefits due them while interned in ene my prison camps. County Officer C. L. Beam of the North Carolina Veterans commission at Bcaulort. commented today. That is the clos ing date by which some 30,000 World War II veterans, or their survivors, may file for the benefit? to be paid from liquidated enemy assets. It is the conviction of the War Claims commission, which is hand ling the claims, that most of the "missing" claimants for the bene fits arc the widows, children or parents of deceased prisoners of war, not cognizant of their eligi bility to receive the benefits. Such survivors of deceased veterans were qualified to make the claims by a later ruling of the War Claims commission. Until the present time some 120, 000 claims have been received by | the WCC and 35,000 of them have I been paid. As the deadline for fil ing draws near a redoubled ef fort is being made to get the infor mation of the eligibility of the sur vivors of deceased veterans to them, Beam said. Application blanks and assistance in filing the claims can be obtain ed at the county office of the N.C. Veterans Commission in the Amer ican Legion hut in Beaufort.

I sugge.-t that every tobacco grower observe at least one of these demonstrations during the t;rowin^ season." the farm agent remarked "We plan to hold a meet m at each of these farms and invite all tobacco growers to observe the disease resistance and growth habits of each of the va rieties. Reduced Yields A considerable number of Car teret county farmers are experi encing reduced crop yields each year due to an attack of nematode, he continued. This trouble is also referred to by many farmers as 'big root" because the insects, upon attacking the plants, causes an enlargement of the root system. They are among the most damag ing of all soil pests. Thev are so small that they are prac<icall> in visible; however, they do a good job of reducing the quality as well as crop yields of any plant that they attack. Williams explained. "Nematode does the greatest a* mount of damage in sandier or lighter type soils. This insect at tacks practically all vegetable crops and many of the field crops. The most frequent attacks that I have observed here in the county have been in home gardens and in tobacco fields," declared the farm agent.
