Jaycee Ben Phipps
Shows Color Fib
Colored motion pictures of west

day night Morehead City Jaycee
meeting at Captain Bill's cafe.
The films, taken between August
1948 and September 1950. were
shot by Jaycee Ben Phipps, who
was in charge of the program.
The Jaycees and their guests saw
a skiing tournament in Norway
which King Haakon VII attended,
the beautiful fjords, scenes in Bel
gium, and some exquisite shots
photographed in Switzerland.
Outstanding were the views of
the old cathedral in Basel with its
unique green and white tiled roof.
The edifice is a conglomeration of
architectural stylings, due to an
earthquake which damaged it in
the middle ages and the influences
precipitated by the reformation,
when .the church's congregation
broke with Rome.
Phipps and his wife made the
trip by boat and car ? a little
Italian Fiat which Ben said gave
40 miles to the gallon.
During the business sessiop, Ber
nard Leary, football committee
chairman, urged Jaycees to be at
the field not later than 6:30 Fri

Beaufort's First Modern Load
Packer for Garbage Arrives
Beaufort's first modern garbage^
load packer arrived Wednesday and
was put into experimental opera
tion Wednesday afternoon. The
cab of the packer is red and the
body yellow, colors found to be
readily visible to motorists.
Whether the new packer will be
the only garbage collecting vehicle
cannot be determined until after
several weeks' use. It is likely,
however, that the present garbage
collecting schedule will be revised
and when it is, announcement of
the new schedule will be made.
Because of its large capacity,
trips to the dump will be lessened,
there will be less wear on tires,
and because the body is enclosed,
paper and other trash will not blow
from it, only to be scooped up
again, as at present.
Crewmen on the truck will be
Theodore Kicks, Allen Conway, and
Roscoe Conway.
Cost of the cab was $2,932.98
while the body, purchased from
Baker Equipment and Engineering
co.. Charlotte, was $4,157.30. The
town is paying for the cab on a
finance plan. One thousand dol
lars for the body was paid on de
livery and the remainder will be
paid Sept. 15, 1952.
Sale of a Chevrolet truck, used
now to collect garbage, will be dis
cussed at a meeting of the town
board Monday night at the town
hall.

Health Office
Prepares Poison
To Fight Rodents
The Carteret county health de
partment has launched another of
fensive against rats. "Warfarin."
rat poison, has been prepared by
the department as a public health
service, and is being sold for 50
cents per package.
. Poisonous to humans and ani
mals. the rat bait contain?. "War
farin," corn meal, and mineral oil.
An instruction sheet which accom
panies each package directs the
user of the bait to place about two
tablespoonfuls in locations fre
quented by rats and mice.
For example, bait should be
placed about every six feet along
rat "runways" along walls, rafters
and where rats and mice are be
lieved to have been feeding.
The bait should be replaced as
it is consumed and baiting should
be continued until complete lack of
feeding is noted, this is cxpected
to be from five to 13 days. Rats
are likely not to touch poison if
they are not hungry, therefore gar
bage and other food should not be
accessible to them.
Where a continuous source of in
festation prevails, as from nearby
sheds, dumpa, or fields, permanent
bait stations should be used and
bait replenished as often as neces
sary, The bait should be protected
from all persons, especially chil
dren. and from dogs, cats, poultry,
and livestock by means of boxes or
cages where necessary.
Persons wishing to purchase the
bait should call at the health de
partment office, second floor of
the court house annex, Beaufort.

Teen-Agers Will
Be Tried Next
Month in Court
Judge Morris Remands Two
To Juvenile Court; Sets
Bonds on Others at $100
J. D. Arnold. Earl Joyner, Levy
Lilly, and Will Gillikin will be
tried in the October term of su
perior court on charges of break
ing and entering Roy Garner's
store and Ira Garner's service sta
tion in Newport. After hearing
evidence in recorder's court Tues
day Judge Lambert Morris found
probable cause and placed each
boy under $100 bond.
Two boys, one involved in the
break-ins and another, charged
with receiving stolen goods from
Lilly and paying for them, have
been ordered to appear before the
juvenile court judge, A. H. James,
because they are under 16 years of
age.
The state decided not to prose
cute another case charging Sam
Frescott. Arnold, and Lilly with
breaking and entering. The state
alleged that the boys, aided by
Prescott. entered the grocery store
operated by Fred Carson. Carson
stated in court, however, that noth
ing was missing from his store, in
spite of the fact that Arnold said
he and the other boys had taken
goods out of the store.
The case against L. E. Gillikin,
father of Will Gillikin, charged
with receiving stolen goods from
Earl Joyner, was dismissed.
Roy Garner testified that his
store had been entered four times.
In addition to theft of cigars, ci
garettes, candy, *tc., he said he
lost a lot of other things that he
wasn't able to itemize.
Arnold. 17 ye^rs old, testified
that the boys enterdft Garner's
place of business through th? back
where the doors were not hooked.
He told the court that they started
their series of robberies about
three weeks before school started,
taking chewing gum. cigars, cigar
ettes, air rifle shot, shells and ri
fles. He said some of the boys
hid their loot.
Deputy Sheriff Marshall Ayscue
presented as evidence a large
amount of the goods that had been
recovered. Arrests were made the
week of Sept. 10, after Ormsby
Mann of Newport, came upon some
of the boys in his barn where they
were eating sausages and crackers
they had stolen.
Joyner, 16 years old, testified
that the boys went into Garner's
store three times and that he sold
L. E. Gillikin gun shells. He asked
$3 for them and said Gillikin gave
him $1. He hadn't added that he
told Gillikin where he had gotten
the shells.
Lilly and Will Gillikin did not
testify. Tom Temple, who operates
Garner's service station, was in
court, but was not called on to
testify.

of the necessary repairs.
Valves haven't been replaced
since the system was installed and
although the necessary materials
arc difficult to obtain, Stovail said
it absolutely has to be done before
there is a complete shutdown on
materials.
He recommended that people
run some water into kettles or
pans prior to tonight's cut off, for
use in case of emergency. The
water which was shut off at mid
night Tuesday was on again by
3 a.m. Wednesday.
