HOW TO GO CRAZY v In Carteret County It Seems As Though It's Double or Nothing! By Ruth Peeling When names are given out in these parts, parents evidently are loathe to name their young 'una anything other than what is com monly heard up and down the street. Some of our citizens are saved by the (act that even though their first and last names are alike, their middle initial is different. Other* have to struggle through life get ting bills that belong not to tbem but to someone else in the county with the same name. Far example, there an four Robert Willises that I could track down, and there undoubtedly are more throughout the county Rob ert Neal Willis lives in Horehcad City but operates a radio shop on Craven street in Beaufort. Three other Robert Willises live jn Beau fort: Robert Earl, 306 Live Oak St.. Robert T , 413 Live Oak and just plain Robert Willis, 906 Cedar St. Beaufort is also bleswd with two Charles E. Moore? There's Charles Eric Moore of Front St., and Charles Elrfad Moore of Broad at. W? have our abar* of J union, but they don't cause nearly as much trouble as people who are distant kin or perhaps no kin at all who have the same name. At Newport there are two C. M Garners. One ia the police Chief and the other works at the Newport saWmill. Newport also has resident in lb immediate vi cinity three C. T. Garners. George Washington Ball, More head City, who is an attorney, is no kin at all to George Washington Ball who operate*, with his broth-' er Raymond, the Newport thea 8m NAMES, Pag* ? Judge Lambert R. Morris dis missed Tuesday a case against James Johnson and Dorothy Hest er, colored, of Morehead City, who laced the double-barreled charge of cohabitation and maintaining a house at 1308 Bay st., Morehead City for the purpose of prostitu tion. The judge said in dismissing the case that the legislature should have passed a law which would have enabled the state to close houses of "bad reputation" but he said the court cannot make laws which should have been made by the legislature. Judge Morris said that as the law stands at present, the burden of proof rests with the arrest ing officers. He warned both de fendants that each would be given six months' sentences if they were brought into court again. Officers Testify Morehead City police officers, Buck Newsome and Hubert Fulch er, testified that they went to the house on Bay street the night of March 31. According to their testimony. Fulcher rapped on the door. A voice from inside called out, "Who is it?" The officers replied, "The law," and the voice inside re torted, "The he? with the law." Officer Newsome said they heard a scramble inside and when they entered, a girl ran out of a room and headed for the kitchen. She was wearing a slip, he said.

The town commissioners told the Gillikins that they would con sider renewal of the franchise, which ran out last September, aft er the bus company submitted to the town a schedule and rates. Commissioners I). G. Bell and M. T. Mills were appointed to confer on the matter with bus company personnel. Gillikin. in answer to questions by commissioners, stated that he and Lemuel Golden would be the bus drivers. He remarked that one of the big difficulties in op erating a bus line was that people waiting for the bus would be pick up by people in ears. The commissioners suggested that if the bus ran on a regular schedule it would build a larger number of patrons who would not get desperate waiting for the bus and then finally hitch a ride with I someone going to town in a car. i.km monry (iillikin stated that on a three month schedule last year the com pany did not make enough money to pay for gas and oil. When asked why he was interested in starting the line again, if he operated at a loss. Giliikin answered that he would "like to try it" When asked if the eompany had paid Morehead City what the town was due last year. Gillikin ..aid that the town was not due any money, that tf per cent of their gross rev enue. which used to no to the town, now goes to the state. George McNeill, town attorney, stated that he did not think that payment to the state relieved the bus company of payment to the town. Commissioner S. C. Hoiloway suggested that the town charge Gillikin a flat lee for a franchise, if a franchise is granted. Hedge Problem Wickizer requested that the town v have a hedge removed that is growing in the middle of 16th street near the waterfront opposite his home. The hedge, he said, was planted by residents of the Rollins cottage on Shacklcford st., and is not kept trimmed. The clerk. John Lashley, was di rected to write to Mrs. Lillian Rol lins and request that the hedge be moved. If it isn't, the board said the town bul) dozer would get rid of it. Requests Sewer Connection Roy Beck, 2100 Bridges st., re quested that he be permitted to connect with a town sewer. He was informed that the connection would cost $20 and that the per mit should be obtained from the clerk. Beck also suggested that the town may be interested in looking into the status of ownership of the state property at Camp Glenn, with a view to obtaining the property See BOARD, Page 6 BASH Committee To Use Legion Hut The Beaufort Armed Services Hospitality committee made official their agreement on the Legion hut when they met at the town hall Tuesday night.
