W CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES 10L? A Mercer of THE BEAUFORT NEWS (Established 1912) and THE TWIN CITY TIMES (Established 1936) 40th YEAR, NO. 19. EIGHT PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT. NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1051 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS County's Real Property Values Go Up 10 Per Cent Widow Takes Over Constable's Job The widow of Constable Luther T. Hardison, Coral Gables, Fla., has taken over her husband's job. "My husband told me if anything happened, I should take his place so I could continue to care for the two small children", she said. Hardison, who was shot Feb. 15 on a lonely road near Mobile, Ala., was the uncle of C. S. Hardison, jr., 1511 Shepard st., Morehead City. Harris T. Mullis, 23, a prison er he was taking back to Coral Gables, Fla., from California, was captured in New York and charged with the crime. Constable Hardison had not hand cuffed Mullis for the long ride be cause he believed "there's no such thing as a bad boy". Just as her husband would, the matronly new constable holds no bitterness in her soul for the youth. "He shouldn't be turned loose, though, because there is something seri ously wrong with his," Mrs. Hardi son said. She's not particularly happy about her appointment. She looks at it with determination as a job to be done "because that is what he wanted. The Hardisons have four child ren, two grown and a boy, three and a girl, nine. Her married daughter will help her care for the smaller children while she is away from home as constable for Mi ami's populous District 3, which includes Coral Gables. Another woman will have charge of other law enforcement problems in the district. Mrs. Ruth Linda Sutton was appointed justice of the peace recently after the death of her husband. Sutton and Hardison were good friends, so there will be little change in policy with their widows in their places. We won't have I any trouble," Mrs. Hardison said. "My husband and I know most of the people we have to deal with, and this is a good, quiet district." The large, friendly forty-seven year-old woman handled the paper work for her husband's of fice and had accompanied him often on his rounds of serving papers and straightening out "fam ily squabbles and such things." "Luther believed in never mis treating any one," she said. "He would drive miles out of his way 'sometimes just so he could put a prisoner he was returning in a good jail overnight, or to settle an argument before it got to court." Mrs. Hardison said she had a capable young deputy, Joe Willis, to aid her in dangerous jobs of law enforcement. She doesn't ex pect to use a revolver in her new job. "But I could use one il I I have to," she said quietly.

Two Firt Departments Get Call to Harlurs Island Fire departments of Beaufort and Morehead City received a larms from Harkers Island earljr Monday morning but the small grocery-fishing supply store blaze was brought under control before help was sent out. When Beaufort firemen were un able to make the out-of-town run, due to Beaufort'a strict town-only operation, Morehead City was sum moned for help. But by this time the small fire was over, and Chief Grady Bell's men never reported. Harold Guthrie, owner of the combination grocer^ and fishing supply store estimated damage at $200 Only the front of the build ing was scorched. Stock was, un harmed. Nobody knows how the blaze started. The House will vote today on the motion by Walter Crissman, intro ducer of the state-wide liquor ref erendum bill, on whether the bill shall be moved from the unfavor able category, in which the commit tee placed it, to favorable. Crissman's motion to that effect, which was made last week follow ing the report from the proposit ions and grievances committee, was postponed until this week because John Regan, chairman of the committee, was absent when the vote on the motion was taken. According to House procedure, a bill can be moved from the un favorable calendar if two-thirds of the members of the House approve. George W. Dill,, Carteret's rep resentative in the legislature, re ported that in spite of the execu tive session called by the propo sitions and grievances committee to consider the Crissman bill last week, the committee voted to al low representatives of the press to remain. Reporters, however, made their exit. Compensation Bills At the request of H. L. Joslyn, county superintendent of schools, Dill introduced two bills last week requesting compensation for mo torists whose vehicles had been damaged by school busses. HB 479 would compensate George Wallace, Morehead City, and HB 480 would pay for damages done to the car belonging to Walter Edwards, Morehead City. Both bills were re ferred to the committee on ap propriations. HB 35S Passed Passed by the house last week was HB 3SS which would remove Newport township from jurisdic tion of the Cherry Point Air Sta tion Zoning commission. This bill will go now to the Senate. Dill joined with Etherldge of Dare and Collier of Pamlico in in troducing a bill providing for pay ment of North Carolina's member ship fee in the Atlantic States Marine commission. Carteret's legislator commented that the State Highway commission will level all the fire power at' its command on the appropriations committee this week in an attempt to have them reject the Powell municipal street aid bill. This bill, which passed the Sen ate, has passed all hurdles except the coming bearing before the ap propriation* committee. This will be the last opportunity the high way commission will have to defeat the proposal which they contend would divert $5,000,000 to municip alities, which should be used for maintaining the state's primary road system. End in Sight Dill commented yesterday that the legislative session is reaching the point where the end is in sight, probably a month from now. The appropriations committee will ac cept no more amendments to the revenue act after Thursday. In the past Dill said, legislature usually continues in session one month after tbe appropriations and finance committees end their work.

This sum will pur chase glasses lor needy adults. Following the business session. Owens Fredericks gave an inter esting talk on his lite. Born in Georgia, ^he served 21 years In the Navy, wandering capriciously about the world. Why did he chooee More head City to settle down in? Well, it wasn't easy. In 1031 he was sta tioned in Morehead during a tour of duty. It was the "moat forsaken place" he had ever seen. Maybe it was the salt air or the sand or the local girl he married, but somehow Owens got to liking the town. Accordingly, he re quested permanent statiorflng. And now that Owens is firmly entrenched in Morehead -Cltjr, the Navy is recalling him again In May. Marines Fight 350-Acre Blaze \at Cherry Point Cherry Point Marine firefight ers on Wednesday fought a brush lire of undetermined origin which swept over an area of 350 acres of scrub timber. Hampered by .shift ing winds which spread the fire beyond control, the firefighters battled the blaze from late morn ing to midnight. The fire was first discovered by the operator in the control low er of the Marine Corps Air station, who turned in an alarm at 10:55 a.m. The Air Station Fire depart ment dispatched three high pres sure trucks to the scene. The for estry crew went into action with back tanks and shovels, while the Public Works department sent bull dozers to the area to cut fire breaks. Despite the efforts of these Ma rine firemen, and a crew from I he National Forestry service, it was late afternoon before the fire was enough under control to start tack ling the job of extinguishing it. Patrols Set Up Working far into the night, men from units of the Second Marine Air Wing and Air Station firefight ers, patroled the fire breaks to see that the flames didn't jump outside the contained area, then late last night a series of backfires were kindled to burn off fuel in the path of the big blaze. By midnight the fire was out. A small crew was left at Hie scene to prevent a flare-up of the embers. Loss Small The forestry officer for the Ma ine Corps Air station reported that the loss by this fire was small , because of the type and condition of trees in the area that was burn ed over. Some game was chased from the area by smoke and flames. Fire men reported deer and other wild life darting across the fire breaks. Local firefighters were not so much concerned with damage done in this bla/.e as they were with the potential destruction that a fire of this type can. cause. lla<f?}fr : fire occurred in an area in wlC.. there were dwellings, gasoline stor age tanks, or ammunitions dumps, the results might have been dis astrous.

House bill No. 410, increasing state payments for indigent hospit al patients was approved. The bill See WELFARE, Page 8 FOR DEFENSE - Carteret county's real property valuation was increas ed 10 per cent by the county board of commissioners at their March session yesterday morning. This rise in valuation will apply to 1051 taxes. The board's action followed a request by Dr. Laurie Moore, chairman of the board of education, for $100,000 to "put Carteret county schools in A-l con dition." The commissioners have author ized the county attorney, Alvah Hamilton, to contact W. E. East erling of the Local Government commission, in regard to floating a $100,000 bond issue for improve ment of school buildings. Dr. Moore said conditions must be bet tered at Morchead City, Beaufort and Markers Island. Federal funds, he added, have been earmarked for Newport and Camp Glenn schools. The county board just yesterday acted further to make floating of a $30,000 bond issue possible, to complete payment on the Atlantic school. This bond issue was ap proved several months ago. Yes terday was set as the time for pub lic hearing on the proposal. No one appeared to object to the floating of the bonds, neither was any objection received in writing. By law, Carteret county is per mitted to borrow money equal to the amount of two-thirds of the bonded indebtedness retired in 1950. Bonded debts paid last year amounted to $217,000, which means approximately $140,000 in bonds can be so'd by the county in 1951. Thirty thousand dollars of that a mount has been approved for schools, and additional $100,000 would bring the total to $130,000. I)r. Moore stated that the county board of education would make its budget requests less year by year to help make up for the amount of interest payable on the bonds. Unanimous Approval The board was unanimous in its approval to increase property val uation 10 per cent, stating that im provement of the schools is a wor thy cause. Commissioners commented that in 1933 there was a 33 1/3 per cent cut in valuation which has never been restored. Upping val nations 10 per cent would restore just a partial amount of that -re duction of almost 20 years ago. . mw Vi?M J.'.mes D. Potter, county apctytor, pointed out that the 10 per cent increase would mean an increase in valuation of real property of approximately $1,300,000 or a yield of about $23,000 in taxes, half of which would be used to pay off the county's bonded debt. The oth er half, less than $12,000, would go into the county's general fund. Dr. K. P. B. Bonner, chairman of the board, commented that in his 40 years of experience in deal ing with the public, "they are en thusiastic about any improvement as long as they don't haMe to pay for it." He added, "The people can't ex pect this board to operate a pro gressive government with no mon ey to do it with. The only thing that has saved us in recent years is the tremendous building pro gram in the county."

S. defense savings bonds chairman. Vielor II. Wickiz er announeed today that according to the monthly sales report from Allison James of Greensboro, state director of the defense savings bonds program for North Carolina, sales of Series E bonds in Carteret county for the month of January totaled $46,489. No F or G series were sold. The total figures for North Car olina's 100 counties were as fol lows: series E Bonds $4,130,343.75; series F $432,123.00; series G $1, 642,300.00, totaling $6,204,766.75 for January. The county chairman said that the treasury department will con tinue to offer the series "E" bond to the public in itt present form, as a "defense savings bond'' during the mobilization period. The in creased kale of defense savings bonds nol only will promote sav ings for individuals but will act as an important anti inflation force, Wickizer said. The payroll savings drive in North Carolina is progressing with very good results, Wickizer con tinued. Through person to person canvasses, many large firms have increased participation in the plan from below 10 per cent to from 50 per cent to 90 per cent. The payroll savings drive is continuing county by county until all of the larger firms in North Carolina have been contacted. All organiza tions and individuals are urged to back up the defense mobilization program by purchasing defense savings bund*, W ickizer mmjuducl Board Hears ABC Opinion on Beer In regard to prohibiting sale of beer on Barker's Island, C. A. Up chureh, jr.. director of the malt beverage division, Board of Alco holic control, has written to the county board. His letter was read at yesterday's meeting of the board. Upchurch stated that due to there being no law enforcement officer on Marker's Island, the ABC board will turn down any applica tion for sale of beer on the island. He said that not only has he been informed that the people on the island are opposed to the sale of beer there, but the beer indus try is opposed also on the basis of inadequate police protection. Upchurch wrote to the board following a conference with George W. Dill, Carteret county assembly man. Dill was requested at the February county board meeting to introduce legislation prohibiting sale of beer on the island. The re- , quest was made by Tilton Davis, commissioner from Harkers Island. Davis said there was no beer sold on the island and they didn't want any. Dill promised to investigate the matter. The letter from Up church resulted. The county board also received yesterday a request from Milford Mann. Newport, for a permit to sell beer on Railroad street, New port. The matter was referred to Commissioner Moses Howard for investigation. The county attorney, Alvah Hamilton, said that a per mit to sell beer would also have to be granted Mann from the town. Morehead Roiarians Hear Talk by Japanese Slndeni Visiting Japanese student Mas ami Koizumi combined the serious with wit while speaking to More head City's Kotarians Thursday night about his experiences in the U S. and Japan. As he stressed at Beaufort last week. Koiiumi again emphasized maintaining strong U. S. -Japanese relationship during the Communist crisis in the Far East. Delving in the humorous vein, the former U. S. Army. Navy, and Marine interpreter brought chuck Ics from his audience concerning American students and their ill treated teachers. Among those present during the talk were the Kev. W. L. Martin of Beaufort, guest of David Murray; Jessie McWilliams of Norfolk, guest of Alvah Hamilton: and H. Earle Mobley. Morehead City, guest of George McNeill. No business was conducted. County Board Gets Deluge of Road, Tax Problems The county board of commis sioners, in regular session yester day morning at the court house, was deluged with tax matters and petitions for roads. H. R. Barbour requested that the load west of the former Morehead City airport be straightened and that the curving part formerly used, be abandoned. His request was approved. Maintenance of 1.3 miles of road in the vicinity of Fred Bell's home in the Wild wood area was okayed, the board stating that their request tor maintenance shall take effect when the county's quota for state maintained roads increases. Maintenance of roads in Hancock and Huntley parks was placed un der the same stipulation. Similar conditions will hold true for a re quest for maintenance on roads in the Brooks development, Gales Creek The roads, approximately one-half mile total length, have been built and the county has been requested to put them on the state system. The board stated that when it is i time for them to be repaired and maintained, the state will be re quested to do so if the mileage is available. Taken under consideration was ;i request by A. L. Pearson, Clin : ton, for maintenance of roads in his development at Broad Creek, j The board approved the propos | al that the Harkers Island road be widened from Carl Willis's cast to Shell Point, a distance of 4.6 miles. Also approved were the plans for the new bridge across Bogue Sound from Morehead City to At lantic Beach. In regard to tax matters, Elmer Salter, Stacy, said that his valua tion has been increased $500 un justifiably. The same grievance was presented in the case of Bruce Willis, ^matters were referred ft Brooks, tax supervisor, for investigation. The welfare board report on El vin Salter, Sea Level, was read. Salter, who asked for adjustment of taxes, owes the county $354.96, according to Eugene O. Moore, tax collector. The county board sug gested that the welfare board in vestigate the Salter case. After hearing the welfare board report, and further investigation of the tax records showing that Salter has not paid taxes since 1921, the board stated that he should be informed that the prop erty has already passed into the hands of the county and that if he wants it restored, he should offer the county a price for it. In regard to the revaluation of the R. R. Barbour Fisheries prop erty. known as the Croatan Frozen Food plant, the commissioners or dered that taxes be figured for the first three months of 1950 on the regular valuation of $22,500 and for the remaining nine months of that year, after destruction by fire, on $5,000. The $5,000 valuation has been set for 1951 also. Referred to the county attorney for investigation was the case of Beaufort Cannery. Taxes owed on the cannery are $806.37 for 1948, 1949, and 1950. The holder of the mortgage and present owner of the defunct cannery, Dr. R. A. Luongo, has been billed for the $866.37 and Attorney Claud Wheatly told the board that he felt Dr. Luongo should not be made responsible for tax debts incurred prior to the bankruptcy proceedings.

Foreman, a fire Sunday afternoon at Boguc.
