Six Fires Keep
FiremeD on Jump
Firemen were on the jump the
past three days quenching brush,
automobile, chimney, roof, oil
stove, and oil furnace fires in
Morehead City and Beaufort.
Sunday morning the chimney in
the home of Mrs. H. B. Avery, 124
, Turner st., Beaufort, caught ablaze
I when an open draft fanned flames
i from a wood-filled stove. Mrs.
Avery was out at the time, but
neighbors noticed the curling
smoke and turned in the alarm.
Though it took Beaufort firemen
30 minutes to put out the flames,
I the major damage was reported
to be from smoke.
Slight damage was also caused
when Marion Noes automobile
caught fire early Saturday morn
ing on Orange st.
High wind caused a broken cir
cuit at box 16 in Beaufort at 11:45
Saturday morning. The box 32
alarm rarife and firemen answered
the call, but of course there was
no fire. They later discovered
the damaged wire and after an
hour, things were back in proper
working order.
Morehead City firemen controll
ed a brush fire on 33rd 3t. Satur
day, and answered three alarms Fri
> day. Gale-like winds are believed
caused friction on rotten shingles
on a Bay st. home in the first fire,
and flames spread throughout the
roof and porch. Damage was re
ported at only $50, however, due
to the dilapidated condition of the
roof.
Excess kerosene in a cook stove
started a slight fire in the home
of Doraey Rice. 509 Fisher st.,
while Clyde Helms, Shackleford
st., sustained slight damage from
an overheated oil furnace.
Concerning oil circulator own
ers. Chief Grady Bell stated that
everybody should look into their
stoves before lighting them. If too
much kerosene is present, bail or
mop the fluid out, cut the valve
off, and open the draft and stove
door. In this manner stgves will
not become overheated.

Chamber of Commerce Speaker
Stresses Need for Spirituality
One of the greatest needs of
North Carolina is more intelligent
people possessing imagination that
combines the spiritual with the
physical in our daily business and |
social lives. William Carmichael,
comptroller and business manager 1
of the University of North Caro
lina told Morehead City business
and civic leaders Thursday night
at the Blue Kibbon club.
Speaking before a jam packed,
attentive audience at the annual
Morehead City chamber of com- j
mcrce banquet, the oftimes hum- '
orous and serious Chapel Hill ex
ecutive explained the important
role played by the university 111
the religious lives of Morehead
City residents and all North Caro
linians.
According to dapper Carmichael,
there should be no conflict be
tween religion and science. "The
oldest testament of all is the uni
verse itself," he said. "What we
need are scientists of deeper theo
logical thinking.
"Thank God North Carolinians
are beginning to realize that the
university is a place where things
are studied spiritually as well as
physically," he added.
The Soul of the State
The university as Die source of
imagination or dreaming is "the
soul and conscience of this state.
Our legislators are a part of this
dreaming just as is the church.
We must have a comprehensive
program combining the spiritual
with the physical in our economic, j
business, and educational relation |
ships to move forward in har- >

desire, hold the bonds for another
10 years or less, with continuing
interest, or may exchange them for
series G. bonds."
Wickizer said that holders of

day night's banquet, with a talk >n
the chamber, its ideals, and the
committees selected to make its
goals accessible:
We are all familiar with the say
ing. "don't change horses in the
middle of a stream." Well, as you
all know, it was necessary for your
chamber of commerce during ?he
past year to not only change noises ,
but to also change riders some
several times. But it is with a
feeling of pride that I report to
you tonight that though we did
make changes in our personnel,
we never did change our course,
which was at all times to be dlli
gent in the promotion of civic,!
commercial an I industrial progress (
and expansion.
Your chamber of commerce does
not deserve, nor desire, to take
credit for all of the progress that
has been made by our community,
but it has been our policy to give '
vigorous support and assistance to j
any group or individual engaged
in a worthwhile project.
For I In- benefit of those who are j
with us for the first time tonight.;
1 should like to emphasize the fact
that day by day many problems
are presented to your stall and
committees These problems are
met and handled quietly and elti
ciently. In the same manner new j
projects are being investigated
and developed. When found to
be feasible and Workable they are |
