Proponents Appear Currituck and Carteret county residents appeared before the com mittee and told representatives that there was no necessity to do away with the track, that the coun ties profited by operation of the pari mutuel enterprises. Appearing from Carteret county were Floyd Chad wick, Warren Beck. J. A. DuBois, Mayor W. L. Derrickson, Clyde Jones, Dr. B. F. Koyal, D. G. Bell, and Albert Gas kill, all of Morehead City. Rep. George W. Dill, jr., Car teret county, moved for unfavor able reports on both bills, explain ing that the tracks were voted in by the people and that to do away with them by legislative action would be usurping the privilege of the voters to say what they wanted and what they didn't. The bill introduced by Rep. Noah Burfoot of Pasquotank, which would have made it unlawful to bet on horse or dog races in the State, was given an unfavorable report by voice vote. Only a scat tering of "Noes" were heard. On Rep. Robert W. Dalrymple's bill to make unlawful pari mutuel and other forms of betting. Rep. James II. Pittman of Richmond called for division. The count was 23 for an unfavorable report and four against. Accounting Given At Tuesday's hearing, Gaskill, CPA, and accountant for Carolina Racing association, explained that during 1950 a total of $960,000 passed through the betting win dows at the track. Of this the city received "in the neighborhood of $20,000, of which about $2,000 went for the operation of the city rac ing commission. Of the gross take at the track, Gaskill explained. 85 per cent goes to pay off bets, and 15 per cent goes to the "management " The city receives 10 per cent of the management's 15 per cent, he add ? V H The city also gets 10 per ceni *?? paid admissions and proceeds fr^m concessions, he said. What has been the general con duct at the track?" asked Rep. Sam Worthington of Pitt. "Has there been any disturbances or disre spect for law and order growing out of its operations?" The track has been well-behaved as "a Sunday School picnic," with no more drinking "than anywhere else," Gaskill replied. Town Profits Mayor Derrickson of Morehead City said the city has used its share of the racing money for a great many improvements" which could not have been financed with out the added revenue. He listed fire equipment, street equipment, a police car and radio equipment, Negro school property and a hospital annex. In response to Rep. Worthington's repeated questions about the conduct of the track, Derrickson said it was "very, very nice" and had given "very, very little trouble." Morehead City wins money out of the track, declared Dr. Royal. He called the track a "social cen ter" and a "godsend" to the com munity. "You've read about racketeers coming in and pushing gambling down our throats," he said. "Well, I think it would be morally un sound for us to invite these people in and invest a half-million dollars See GAMBLING, Page 5 \ ? ' Dicie Howell School of Music Comes to Beaufort This Year New Beaufort Cannery Will Be Known as Crockett Canning Co. The tomato cannery in Beaufort will be known as the Crockett Can ning co., it was announced today by Dan Walker, manager of the Beaufort chamber of commerce. Carroll Crockett, who operated an oyster cannery in Beaufort dur ing the winter, will have complete charge of management and opera tion, Walker emphasized. David Davis, of Southport and Gloucester, is farm production manager, and farmers interested in growing to matoes for the cannery may con tact him at C. G. Gaskill's feed and fertilizer company, Beaufort. A minimum of 1,000 cases of to matoes will be canned daily, while the number of persons employed at the cannery will depend on the intensity of tomato production in the county. Farmers are being offered a guaranteed minimum price for ev ery bushel of ripe tomatoes sold to the Crockett cannery. More than 300 acres of tomatoes are now un der contract and it is hoped that this number will be more than doubled. The canning machinery will be moved into the building on Len noxville road in the near future. In regard to Crockett's reliabil ity, Walker commented, "1 check ed with farm agent.s and banks in counties in which Mr. Crockett has operated during the past few years and all spoke very highly of his business ethics and treatment of associates and farmers." Walker further pointed to Crock ett's success as an oyster cannery operator as proof of his business know how. Herbert Graham Visits Laboratory Dr. Herbert W. Graham, chief of the red tide investigations be ing conducted by the Fish and Wildlife service, will leave Beau fort today after conferring with Dr. Theodore Rice, Fiver's Island, on work being done on the red tide in the laboratory here. The red tide refers to the mi croscopic animal in salt water which at certain times bursts into prominence, poisoning and killing fish. Red tide investigations be gan about two years ago after a major outbreak along the Florida coast. Fisheries scientists are attempt ing to determine conditions caus ing the red tide. The plague not only attacks fish but also inverte brate seafoods such as clams and oysters. There are several kinds of red tides, Dr Walter Chipman, head of radioisotope work, explained. Onfc is harmless, while the other causes death of ?ea life. The work being done in the Beaufort laboratory has no connec tion with radioactivity, Dr. Chip man explained.

CAA Authorities Complain About Garbage Dumped on Airport Runway Civil Aeronautics authority of ficials who came to Carteret coun ty this week to inspcct the new administration building at Beau tort Morehead City airport were highly pleased with the building, but literally raised the roof when they discovered at the southwest end of the northeast runway acres of trash and garbage. Claud Wheatly, a member of the county airport authority, immed iately complained to Beaufort town authorities. The town has been dumping garbage in that vi cinity. Whcatly said that unless the runway is cleared, Piedmont air line planes will not be able to make use of the airport. Take-Off Impossible M. T. Mills, chairman of the air port authority remarked that he attempted to take off in a plane from that runway thia week and couldn't do so bffause of the brok en bottles and trash. Mayor L. W. Hassell, when in formed of the matter, said that commissioner! will discuss the sit uation at their meeting Monday sight "We'll probably have t? find a new dumping place," he stated. Dan Walker, town clerk, com mented that he felt people other than the town were responsible [or the airport dumping. "They don't want to drive over all the cans and bottles to dump where they should as the town trucks do," he said. Beaufort, up until six months ago, dumped trash along the west Beaufort road. Because of the unsightliness of the disposal area, the place beyond the fish factories was designated. Wind has blown paper and card board boxes on the wide macadam runways and hundreds of gulls cuddle together on the sun-warm ed airstrip when they're not screaming and gulping among the garbage. "I've never seen such a mess in all my life," declared Commission er Wheatlf. . "The town has a mil lion-dollar airport and then they make it useless by dumping trash on it." Chairman Mills said unless the town cleans it up, federal authori ty* will sMp la.
