Mrs. Hunt and son, Frank, jr., recently left Davis, where they have been making their home, to be with Lieutenant Hunt and his family in Texas. The newly-decor ated officer has been returned /home for furlough under the Ar my's rotation program. The citation accompanying Lieu tenant Hunt's medal reads as fol lows: "First Lieutenant Frank M.

For a period of four hours while tinder constant and intense enemy fire, he maintained a continuous check of the wire lines so effectively that communications were re-establish ed.

't Steak Inn I* Open \ The Steak House, new restaurant I en highway TO. just west of the beach road, will open at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The Steak 1 House will be closed Monday of ?Mil week To. unsnarl traffic in the two business blocks on Arendell street in Morehead City, signs have been erected at 8th and 9th streets pro hibiting motorists from making left-hand turns. Mayor George W. Dill said the signs were placed at the intersec tions in that hope that they will clear traffic congestion tie-ups. The no left turn plan was decided on by the mayor, D. G. Bell, police commissioner, and Chief of Police E. J. Willis. The mayor also announced' this week that 9th street from Arendell to Fisher will be made a one-way 'street on Sunday mornings. Traffic will be permitted to travel from north to south in the block from Bridges to Arendell and from south to north from Bridges to Fisher. This regulation will apply only during the Sunday school and church hours. Botii the First Bap tist and First Methodist churches are located at the 9th and Bridges street intersection. One-way signs will be erected at intersections Sunday morning and taken down after church-goers re turn home. Cars will be permitted to continue to park on both sides of 9th street. The mayor stated that the blink er light at 28th and Evans street will remain throughout the. sum mer. Traffic m heavy at that inter section due to extensive travel to the beach. He pointed out that a stop light is not workable at (he intersection because opening of the draw prevents a steady flow of traffic. When the draw closes, traffic that has backed up cannot move quickly enough due to the red light and this merely causes more congestion. Mayor Dill egpUirtfd. He said the town police force is not large enough to allow station ing of an officer at the intersec tion. Although there are eight of ficers on the force, only three are on duty at one time, he stated. Defense Officials Visit Carteret ^ E. Z. Jones, state civil defense director, and Col. H. R. Battley, re gional director, southeastern Unit ed States, visited Tuesday and Wed nesday in Beaufort and Morehead City. They conferred with Gene Smith, Beaufoct civil defense di rector, and Lonnie Dill, director of civil defense in Morehead City. Jones complimented "Carteret county as a whole in its aggresive attitude on civil defense." He said it was gratifying to see the way in which both towns have tackled the program and have accomplish ed so much more than other com munities. The two civil defense officials were anxious to see for themselves what steps had been taken here, in an area considered to be a criti cal point along the southeastern coast. Biological warfare was also discussed. Jones informed Dill that he ex pects to be here during two weeks in July and offered his assistance on local defense matters. The Morehead City civil defense committee, in session Wednesday, delegated all blackout operations to Dr. Russell Outlaw, chief air raid warden. J. A. DuBois, R. B.

The captains stated however, that if necessary they will take small parties on short trips.

Carteret county commissioners Tuesday settled a $509,000 debt contracted in 1934 and prior yqars for $7,088 Jan. 1, 1935, Carteret county was broke. It owed more than $4,600, 000 and, besides that, more than $750,000 interest on the principal. During the last years of the 30s the county arranged satisfactory refinancing plans for the principal with its creditors. But hanging over its head was the matter of more than three quarters of a million dollars in interest coupons on the old bonds. The county had several hundreds of thousands of dollars on its books of uncollected taxes for 1934 and prior years. The creditors to whom the interest was owed agreed to accept payment of the interest as. if and when those 1934 and prior years of taxes were collected. Delinqueat Taxes Collected Th'.' county has collected more than $250,000 of delinquent 1934 and prior years taxes. This money was applied to payment of the huge delinquent interest account. As of Tuesday the county still owed $509,000 on the hoary delin quent interest account. But unpaid taxes for 1934 and prior years had been whittled down to about $50, 000. .Settlement Made Thus, with only $50,000 more in sight and that amount very likely never to be recovered as tax col lections. representatives of the bondholders still due payment of the outdated interest coupons, met with the county commisioners and See COMMISSIONERS, Page 2 County Officials Will Attend ( WelfareMeetag County Public Welfare Superin tendent Thomas C.

Beaufort Adopts Social Security j Plan for Workers Commissioners Approve Proposal to Request Ref erendum on Annexation The Beaufort town board, in ses sion Monday night at the town hall, approved placing of municipal em ployees, with the exception of po lice officers, under social security. Police officers are not eligible to participate in the plan because they qualify for benefits under a police officers' retirement plan. The board also approved a mo tion that the coanty board of elec tions he requested to schedule an election on the issue regarding the enlargement of the town limits, this election to be conducted some time after July 1.

Insurance Increased Commissioners approved an in crease in fire insurance on the town hall. The insurance carried will be raised from $6,000 to $10,000. A request by the police depart ment for summer clothing for the officers was approved, the amount required for purchase to be includ ed in the budget for the 1951-52 fiscal year. The clerk advised the board that the budget, as set up for 1990-51 had been over-expended. He said that advertising of all unpaid taxes will begin this week. The total levy for the town for 1950-51 was $51, 727.54. The budget was based on 80 per cent collection or $43,968. Final figures on the percentage of the levy actually collected were not available Monday night. Waterfront Discussed Commissioner James Humify .commented on the trashy appear DM of Um waterfront and aupeat ?d that efforts be mad* to cleaa tt up. Two members of the town crew, Steve Bcachem and Troy Hunnings, have resigned, the board was told. Their resignations were necessary, the men said, because the pay was insufficient. The clerk reported that George Franklin, counsel for the League of Municipalities, would visit in Beau fort this month to take part in dis cussion of tax problems and finan cial matters. Charles Harrell, fire chief, re quested clarification on the area in which the department would ans wer calls. The board told the chief that calls should continue to be answered in the larger area origi naly considered for annexation. Effective July 1, Morehead City hospital will increase its charity patient rate to $8 a day with no limit on the number of days a charity case may remain a hospital patient, according to a letter from the hospital board of trustees sent Tuesday to Thomas C. McGinnis, superinten dent of the Carteret county welfare department. Administrator Writes The welfare department now pays costs of hospitalization of charity cases originating in Carter et county at the rate of $3 per day for a maximum of 10 days, or $50 per charity hospitalization ease. The letter to McGinnis over the signature of Hoyle L. Greene, ad ministrator of the hospital, states: "A Special Meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Morehead City Hospital was held this afternoon (June 5). and it was decided, with the approval of Mayor George Dill, that I direct a letter to your office, stating that effective July 1, 1951. no more indigent patients will he admitted to this hospital under the present arrangement. As you know, we are now receiving $5.00 per day for the hospitalization of the indig ent, not to exceed 10 days or $50.00 per case. With a cost per patient day of $13.59 for the year of 1950, it is obvious that this assistance is inadequate. "We hereby request that the Charity Rate be increased lo $8.00 per diem with no limit on the num ber of days." Besides the $5 per day, per chari ty patient for ten days, the More head City hospital receives $1 per day unlimited from both the Medi cal Care association and the I)ukc endowment fund. Thus for the first ten days of charity hospitali zation the Morehead City hospital receives $7 a day, thereafter $2 a day. $1 from Medical Care, the oth er dollar from Duke endowment.
