Miss Beaufort,
Miss Morehead
Reach Semi-Finals
Both Beauty Contestants
Beport 'A Wpnderfvtl
Time' at Burlington
Both of Carteret county's rep
resentatives in the Miss North Car
olina beauty pageant, Miss Carroll
Ann Willis of Beaufort, and Miss
Lois Simpson of Morehead City,
reached the semi-finals Saturday.
They were among the sixteen of
38 contestants selected to parade
once more before the judges and
present their talent demonstrati
ons.
Both Lois and Carroll Ann said
they had a wonderful time and both
were tired young ladies come Mon
day.
Chauffeuring Lois to Burlington,
sitf of the pageant, were Miss Bet
ty Lou Rice and Ralph Gardner,
while Carroll Ann rode with Miss
Betty Lou Merrill and Dan Walk
er of Beaufort.
Contestants were registered at
the Alamance hotel, given instruc
tions for the weekend and assign
ed to homes of Burlington Jaycees
where they were house guests.
First item on the agenda was re
hearsal for the pageant at the
Walter M. Williams high school
Friday morning. The girls lunched
at the Alamance country club and
returned to the school for anoth
er rehearsal. Because there were
so many, they were divided into
two groups. A and B. Carroll Ann
was a member of group A and
Lois gfoup B.
With the Friday night dinner
(all meals were served at the
country club), judging began. Miss
Simpson sat with Yolande Bct
beze. Miss America of 1950, on
three different occasions.
"She was very beautiful," re
marked Lois during an interview
yesterday, "very natural and friend
ly and had a low speaking voice.
She told me she has been in Rome
studying voice and intends to re
turn there soon or take a role ill
a New York stage production. She
said she has earned $5,000 this
year." *
Miss Betbeze, who is training for
the opera, sang several numbers
Friday night. Carroll Ann dined
with two of the judges, James
Street, the author, and Norman
Cordon, the opera singer.
That night group A appeared in
evening gowns and group B in bath
ing suits, and group A also demon
strated their talents. Carroll Ann

? After ? year of slugging it out
with the Reds in Korea, Sgt. Earl
Norwood, 1802 Evans St., Morehead
City, has returned home with his
charmed life. A member of the
34th regiment, which was disband
ed in the early part of the Korean
war due to high casualties. Serg
eant Norwood is one of few sold
iers who escaped without need for
as much as a band aid.
It seemed as though wherever
fighting was thickest, that's where
he happened to be. Action dur
ing the battle of Taejon brought
the Morehead City soldier the
bronze star medal with V disc for
valor. He led his squad into com
bat and was the last man out when
they withdrew.
The three battle stars on his
campaign ribbon represent Tae
jon, Puson perimeter and the cap
ture of the North Korean capital,
Pyongyang. He also wears the Unit-?
ed Nations ribbon.
Sergeant Norwood sailed with
troops from San Francisco aboard
the USS General Collins and arriv
ed in the Korean war tone June
29, 1950. It was during the rugged
few months immediately following
that the 24th infantry division's
34th regiment took the brunt of the
North Korean onslaught.
During that time the sergeant
termed everything "close calls."
In action at Taejon his outfit
fought its way out after being sur
rounded and cut off for three days,
July 19. 20, and 21. General Dean,
reported missing in action during
this battle, was never heard of a
gain.
En route to the front lines July
28 to relieve other troops. Sergeant
Norwood and men in the jeep with
him, had a close brush with death
when the jeep was shot out from
under them. The Commies pulled
an ambush.
August 19S0 spelled bloody hand
to-hand fighting at the Reda charg
ed continuously far two w??ka ja
the Puson area. "The only way
to beat them off was to banzai our
selves," recalled the decorated Oi.
Did he ever dispatch the enemy
with bayonet? "Several times" is
the sergeant's conservative report.
The air force frequently was re
sponsible, the sergeant says, for
supplying troops with food and
ammunition. "We had Charlie ra
tions (called C rations in world
war II), a choice of beef stew, ham
burger, or corned beef hash? and
I don't ever want to see any of
those diahes again!" He's served
notice to that effect on both his
wife and mother.
Sergeant Norwood's picture ap
peared in Life magazine during the
early days of the Korean conflict.
He was pictured talking to another
01, giant-sized, who weighed over
200 pounds. The photographer
thought that lanky, tall Norwood
furnished juat the proper contrast.
"We didn't know why he waa
taking the picture except just as

? Greenville ? The North Carolina
State Porta Authority may operate
back-up or interior warehouses at
the port terminal here.
This announcement was made
by George W. Gillette, executive
director of the North Carolina
State Ports authority when he wat
in Greenville several days ago
conferring with local interests re
garding their plans for the con
struction of storage warehousea for
tobacco on the port terminal prop
erty.
Their plana call for warehouses
sufficient to store 29,000 hogsheads
of tobacco, this tobacco to be moved
by either water, truck or rail to
the state-owned and operated port
at Morehead City or Wilmington,
depending on scheduled sailings of
ship?. Tobacco also may be stored
here for use within the state.
War Stopped Shipment
The Greenville Port commission
has a small facility at their termi
nal at present . Formerly consid
erable tobacco was shipped by wat
er but shipment was not resumed
following the war due to the lack
of water transportation.
Greenville is connected by 12
feet of water, maintained as a fed
eral project, and connecting with
the Inland waterway running north
and south. It is believed that inter
ior warehouse? at strategic loca
tions such as Greenville and Kins
ton for water, rail and highway
connection through the state ports,
particularly at Morehead City,
would be more favorable. Colonel
GUtette state? that there is ? grave
shortage of warehouse space to
take care of tobacco thia fall
\yith an increase of approximate
ly 16 per cent reported for thia
year's crop and with many of the
warehouses taken out of circulation
aa the result of government activi
ties for war efforta, the process of
properly housing tobacco will be a
problem.
Gillette states that he hopes to
have the two atorage warehouses
available at Horehead City for the
storage of 1X.0Q0 hogsheads of to
bacco not later thaa the first of
M92.

lays in not being able to get ma

Beaufort Chamber
Board to Meet J
At 8 p. m. Tonight
President Braxton Adair
Reviews Accomplish
ments of Past Year
The board of directors of the
Beaufort chamber of commerce \
will meet at 8 o'clock at the town j
hall tonight to plan the mem
bership campaign for the current
year.
Braxton Adair, president during
the past year, reported at the an
nual chamber dinner meeting last
week that the chamber's balance
in the bank is $47. Money owed
by the chamber totals $2,100 and
owed to the chamber is $3.162 in
pledges. That sum does not in
clude $600 of 1949 pledges which !
were chalked off.
$1,000 Better Off
"Lst year at this time we owed i
$3,100," recalled the president,
"so actually we're a thousand dol
ars better off this year." Most of j
the debt, he explained, was in
curred in setting up the chamber
office.
Income last year was just short
of $3,000. Requested for support
of the chamber this year is $6,000.
Cites Purpose
Citing the accomplishments of
the chamber during the past year,
the president based his comments
on three purposes of a local cham
ber of commerce: to develop in
dustry, to create commercial traf
fic. and to stir civic interest
In line with the first purpose
the chamber has offered aid to
industries seeking new locations
in this area and has offered con
tinuing aid to industries already
existing. *
Help was given in the oyster and
tomato canning enterprises and
there is the possibility that sweet
potatoes, string beans, and menhad
en roe will be canned in the future,
Adair remarked.
Aids Net Firm
The chamber's aiding a private
industry in locating 10,000 feet
additional floor space for the man
ufacture of camouflage nets for
the government and has aided oth
er industries in draft deferment of
workers.
In creating commercial traffic
the chamber supervised the Christ
mas program and purchase of
street decorations, "the best we've
ever had,"- declared the president.
"We brought people here who oth
erwise would not have come. Al
so being pushed at present is the
Wednesday morning specials sale
with the slogan "Beaufort is a
Better Place to Buy."
"Of $2,700,000 spent locally on
the retail market, the bulk of it
last year came to Beaufort," Pres
ident Adair said.

? Newsprint .shortage has hit THE
NEWS-TIMES with a thud. Our
regular, full frieght car shipment
of paper due the early part of this
month has not yet arrived and
what paper we have on hand will
last a few issues more only by
cutting some close corners.
Today's issue is minus the regu
lar full page of block and white
comics. These, however, will be
set aside, as might next Tuesday's,
and saved until such time as our
newsprint stock is replenished
when we shall publish all the com
ics in one section. Thus, what
you are missing today will be made
up to you in some later issue.
Not only has the price of news
print increased $20 per ton in the
last .kix months but it has be
come increasingly difficult to pro
cure. Several (daily newspapers
h ive recently suspended publicat
ion due to the combination of its
high price and scarcity, the latest
such suspension being that of the
Lake Charles, La., daily newspaper.
Our car of newsprint, which we
have been otificd was shipped
from the mill at Three Rivers, Que
bec, on July 18. should reach us
sometime the end of this week or
the early part of next. Cost to us
will be $520 more than the last car
lot shipment.
In line with increased cost of all
commodities food, clothing, fur
niture, automobiles newspapers,
also faced with increased wages
and cost of supplies, particularly
newsprint, are raising advertising
rates and, in some instances, cir
culation prices.
THE NEWS TIMES will raise ad
vertising rates as of September
1 as a practicable way to ration ad
vertising content as well as meet
increased costs. Exorbitant cost of
newsprint, plus its scarcity, force
compensating measures.
