Kenneth Prest of Huntley-Prest eo. made a request for diagonal parking on Arendell street at his flace of business and Arendell street merchants in the block west of 9th street asked that the "no left turn" signs, recently placed in the business section, be re moved. Commissioners Appointed Police Commissioners D. G. Bell and Street Commissioner S. C. Holloway were requested to inves tigate.: Prest's problem. The pe titioner told the board that there are only six parallel parking pla ces between the east wall of his store west to 14th street. He stated that diagonal parking would double the parking area thus making the store more ac cessible to customers. Six merchants, who claimed that the "no left turn" signs hurt their business, were told that something i would be done about the situation, and that the signs have merely been erected as an experiment. Signs at the 8th and 9th and Arendell street intersections pro hibit left turns. They were placed there two weeks ago. El Nelson of Freeman and Nel son, who was spokesman for the group, told the board that persons wanting to get to his store, who are proceeding east on Arendell street have to go all the way to 7th street before they can turn to reach his atore which is west of 8th. Other businessmen, Woodrow Marks of Mac's Place, Earl Free man of Freeman and Nelson, Mar vin Powers of the Pure Oil sta tion, Rupert Earl Willis of R. T. Willis and Sons, R. C. Blanchard of Blanchard's Electric Service, and James Pitchford of Pitchford's Esso Service station, were present to lend weight to Nelson's pro test. Station Operator speaks Powers said that to avoid the "no left turn" regulation motor ists cut through his service ftation and the Esso Service station. He didn't think much of a commission er's suggestion that he sell the transients pop corn and balloons ax they pass by. Commissioner , W. L Derrickaon commented that five busincamen spoke to him Tuesday asking that the "no left turn" idea be aban doned. Mayor George W. Dill remarked that everybody feels as though they have to have their {root wheels in the place where they want to shop and Commissioner Bell said that in larger cities peop le walk to where they want to go and think nothing of it The "no left turn" experiment has cleared congestion in the bus iness section ? both the town board and businessmen agreed about that ?but the town board, in attempt . ing to comply with the merchants' request, said they would either place the signs at the intersections during rush hours or alter th* plan otherwise. The .board also agreed to ea tablish a leading tone la front of FrtMun and Nelson's store. v Ports Officials j Go to Washington Seeking Money North Carolina State Ports au thority officials were in Washing ton yesterday in hopes of boosting along proposed appropriations for improvement to the Morehead City and Wilmington ports and state waterways. George W. Gillette, executive di rector, and A. G. Myers, chairman of the authority, enlisted the aid of North Carolina congressmen in getting funds for the projects, which have already received Cob gressional approval, and which are considered vital for national de fense as well as the economy of the state. Projects for which the ports of ficials are seeking money arc the following: Maintenance to the channel con necting Morehead City with the ocean to a depth of 30 feet and a survey looking towards the enlarg ing of a turning basin and deepen ing the channel at Morehead City. Maintenance of various inlets along the North Carolina coast to 12-feet depths. These include Ore gon, Hatteras, Ocracoke. Drum, New River, Topsail, Masonboro, Lockwoods Folly and Little River inlets. Dredging of the lower end of Wil mington's anchorage basin, known as the "transition channel," and maintenance of the Cape Fear riv er channel to a depth of 32 feet. Health Office Halts Clinics I No more eye and tonsil clinics will be conducted until July 1, 1951, when school health fund appropriations becomes available, Dr. N. Thomas Ennett, health offi cer, stated Tuesday. Appropria tions are currently exhausted. Dr. Ennett also emphasized that county dog owners, who have ne glected to have dogs six months of age vaccinated, still can have the job done by Dr. C. E. Paden, vet erinarian. Though Dr. Paden has completed his dog vaccination schedule, he, will treat all dogs brought him. The law, according to Dr. En nett, states that dogs, when reach ing the age of six months, must be vaccinated against rabies. It is the health department's duty to see that rabies is checked by these vaccinations. Recently Dr. Eleanor H. Will iams, Onslow county health offi cer, reported that a Carteret coun ty dog had bitten a Camp Lejeune serviceman's child. Taking the necessary precautions, now is un der observation for two weeks. The incubation period for mad dog virus, says Dr. Ennett, is 14 days from the time of the bite. Beaufort Girl's ^ Poems Published Mrs. L. D. Hayman, jr., of Black Mountain, the former Carol Dean Bessent, has received word that several of her poems are being published in current magazines.

Rent Director j Says Rent Control Extension Needed America's mobilization effort will be gravely hampered if bad ly needed war workers stay at home rather than face shoddy liv ing conditions and soaring rents in defense areas, John Blair Mason, rent director for Carteret county warned today. The problem of finding decent quarters for his family discourages and weakens also the morale of servicemen now on active duty, Ma son said. For that reason, he as serted. Housing Expediter Tighe E. Woods is asking Congress to ex tend and improve the present rent stabilization law beyond June 30 so that Americans can be protected directly or indirectly against in flation. . "If the Korean war had not happened," Mason pointed out, "federal rent control would prob ably have died a natural death. But with the national crisis upon us and with billions of dollars going into building a tough and ready military machine, how can the federal government turn its back upon the very people who are paying for the mobilization pro gram ? 150 million Americans, Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public? he asked.
