Inaccurate Information on Social
Security Numbers Causes Trouble
Webb Urges Yule
Gifts Be Mailed
Now Before Rush
"It's later than you think!" says
Harold Webb, Morehead City post
master. "Most people wait until
December rolls around before they 1
give the increasingly heavy Christ
mas mails a second thought. You'll
worry less if you mail them now."
The postmaster expects the
greatest flood of Yulctide mail in
local history. He predicts it will
exceed "by a considerable margin"
the record-breaking 1950 holiday
season. wh$n 153,039 p^cep ? of
mail were cancelled at his <?Vjce
alone.
"This year's deluge of Christmas
mail will strain post office facili
ties severely," he states. "But
we'll get everything ?lelivered by
Christmas, if the public cooperates
whole-heartedly."
Christmas packages for distant
states should be mailed by Decem
ber 5th. All Yuletide parcel post
should be on its way by December
10th.
Christmas cards to friends and
loved ones in other states should
be deposited by December 15th.
Greetings for local delivery should
be mailed at least a week before
Christmas.
Preparations to handle this Yule
tide rush have already . begun,
Webb declares. The post office is
training extra mail clerks and car
riers, setting up new sorting ta
bles, hauling out reserve mail
sacks, and overhauling delivery
trucks. Thousands of bright new
postage stamps are on hand, and
the post office pens are all getting
new points.
To keep Christmas mail on
schedule, the postmaster asks that
you ?
1. Stop at the post office n \\i
week to purchase the extra >tips
you're going to need, thus r oiding
last-minute crowds. When buying >
stamps for Christmas cards, bear
in mind the desirability of sending
the cards by first-class mail. The
rate for unsealed cards is 2 cents
and cards mailed in this way do
not rate forwarding or return
services.
2. Check and revise your Christ
mas card address list this weekend.
Purchase your Christmas cards
early and address and stamp them
at once. Then put them in a con
venient place for mailing at the
proper time.
3. Lay in adequate supplies of
heavy cardboard, sturdy outer
paper, strong cord, and printed
Fourth Class labels for wrapping
parcel post. Packages are limited
to 70 pounds in weight, and must
not measure more than 100 inches
in length and girth combined. Re
peat the address inside the outer
wrappings, in case they are dam
aged in transit. _
"Above all," sajl Webb, "please
address plainly and completely.
Give the full name, house number,
street, name of city, zone, and
state. And don't forget to write
your return address on Christmas
card envelopes. Authorities on
etiquette say it's perfectly proper,
because it helps people bring their
address book up-to-date. But a re
turti address is frequently even
more help to us!"
John Ellison Arrested
John Ellison was arrested by
Beaufort police Saturday night on
a charge of public drunkenness. He
has posted $12 bond for his ap
pearance before Mayor L. W. Hat
sell next Monday.
? "I will bring in my social securM
ty card tomorrow." "I have lost
my social security card but I know
the number." "I have my number
copied down on this piece of pa
per."
Reliance on such statements by
employers causes more trouble
than anything else connected with
the keeping of correct social securi
ty records for their employees, ac
cording to N. A. Avera. manager
of the Wilmington social security
office. Avera added that this* week
his office received from the central
accounting office of social securi- j
ty 394 letters requesting correct
information on 852 employees who
had made one or more of these
statements.
Wages reported by employers on
their quarterly social security tax
returns are posted to the employ
ee's individual wage record by ma
chines. If the name and the social
securely nuin* *? do '#e?t ajjr ct then
it bocomes necessary to re-contact
the employer for the correct ac
count number before the worker's
wages can be posted to his credit.
This extra work, Avera stated, adds
materially to the cost of keeping
the records for the employer who
makes an incorrect or incomplete
tax return.
Avera emphasized that employ
ers could save time and money not
only for themselves but also for
the government by reporting each
worker's name and social security
account number exactly as they
apear on the worker's social securi
ty card. Workers are urged to show
their employers their social securi
ty cards when they go to work and
not guess at their account num
bers.
If an employee changes the
spelling ot his name or a woman
worker marries, the social security
office will issue another card bear
ing the same number but the new
name. These changes can be made
by contacting the Wilmington so
cial security field office, 125 Cus
toms building and filing an appli
cation for the change.
A&ECAsks State
Utilities Board
To Approve Loan
The Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad company Friday asked the
State Utilities commission to ap
prove its plans for issuing $500,000
in notes to finance system improve
ments.
The loan plan was authorized by
the 1951 General assembly, and
preliminary details already have
been approved by the Council of
State and the Interstate Commerce
commission.
Tfre ('oil mcij of St^te gave its
consent Wednesday, authorizing
the road to spend $406,736.32. The
loan, effective immediately upon
commission action, includes $93.
000 advanced last May 1. The in
terest rate is to run at three per
cent.
The ICC acted Nov. 2.
The A&NC, which has borrowed
before from the state to improve
its roadbed and equipment, plans
to buy new engines and improve
its right-of-way. The council said
$108,014.32 will go for a new
diesel locomotive. $135,390.55 for
another diesel, $131,380.73 to lay
heavier rail on a 10 mile stretch of
track near Goldsboro, and $31,
950.12 to rebuild the Trent river
drawbridge at New Bern.
The A&NC runs from Morehcad
City to Goldsboro. The state owns
72 per cent of the stock and all of
the bonds. The actual train serv
ice is operated under a lease
agreement by the Atlantic and East
Carolina Railroad company.
The application listed M: G.
Mann of Raleigh as A&NC presi
dent. W. G. Hargett of Kinston as
secretary-treasurer, and W. A.
Johnson of Lillington at attorney.
She's Nobody's Baby
Raleigh Investor Tries Long
Shot, Gets Unwanted Vessel
Eugene Pruett, Raleigh, high bid
der for the Pamlico, ex-flagship of
the state fleet, isn't quite sure he
wants the Pamlico after all. Ac
cording to Pruett, whose bid of
$32,103.78 was high, he never ex
pected to get the craft and actual
ly, he's not interested in owning a
boat in the first place, he just
thought it might be a good invest
ment.
The State Division of Purchase
and Contract, in charge of dispos
ing of the vessel, says that unless
Pruett backs up his bid with some
cash by Thursday, it may start
court action or the courts might
take a lien on property Pruett al
ready owns.
The reluctant "owner" of the
110-foot vessel says he sent in his
bid on a long shot after a friend
had looked the -craft over at New
Bern where it is tied up. An of
ficial of the commcrcial fisheries
division stated several weeks ago
that if the state were to break even
on sale of the Pamlico, it would
have to get $60,000.
Getting the former sub-chaser
to Morehead City a couple years
ago cost (5,000 alone in towing
charges. The initial cost was $15,
000 and sintfc that time thousands
of dollars have been sunk in out
fitting, overhauling, and mainte
nance.
That's the main reason North
Carolina want* to get rid of the
vessel. She costs too much to ope
rate.
The Pamlico was built by the
Daytona Beach Boat works at Day
tona Beach. Fla.. in 1943, as the
"Ensign Hcrstam" for the U. S.
Navy.
Pruett, at last reports, was eager
ly looking for a buyer, somebody
with at least $32,103.78.

Morehead Police Investigate Theft
Of $210 from Morehead Motor Parts
County, Towns
Receive $19387
In Tax Kickback
?
Carteret county and its four in
corporated towns, Beaufort, More- |
head City. Atlantic Beach, and |
Newport this week received a total ,
of $19,387.67 as their share of the
beverage tax on beer and wine for
the fis<&l year ending Sept. 30,
1951
The state department of revenue
put in the mail Wednesday checks
totaling $2.298.46251. Two hun
dred ninety counties and towns
were the recipients.
The checks, ranging from $11.82
for the town of Blowing Rock to
$116,982.24 for the city of Char
lotte, represent the local govern
ments' 50 per cent share of the
beverage tax collected on beer and
wine sales for the fiscal year end
ing last September 30.
W. C. Pickett, jr., chief of the
beverage tax division, said the $2.
298,462.51 total compares with $2,
074,161.90 distributed last year.
The distribution is based on pop
ulation. and last year's checks were
calculated according to the 1940
census. This year for the first time
the checks are based on the 1950
census. However, because' the in
crease in tax collections since last
year closely approximated the pop
ulation increase recorded in the
census, the per capita allocation
remained constant at slightly more
than 87 cents.
The fund from which the allo
cation is made comes from a 2'^
cent crown tax on bottled beer, a
$7.50 per keg tax on beer and a
60 cents per gallon tax on unforti
fied wine.
Beer collections accounted for
$2,234,100.15 of the total, while the
wine tax was responsible for $64.
362.36.
Payments in Carteret, Onslow,
and Pamlico county are as follows:
Carteret county. $11,462.42; Beau
fort, $2,803.21; Morehead City. $4,
489.32; Newport, $589.96; Atlantic
Beach. $42.76.
Onslow county, $31,042.07; Jack
sonville, $3,456.01; Riehlands,
$761.65; Swansboro, $487.85; Hol
ly ridge. $944.30.

ental. $514.90; Vandemere, $414.55;
Bayboro, $395.35.
Morehead Firemen
Answer Two Calls
Morehead City firemen answer
ed two calls over the weekend, one
to a home on Shepard street Sun
day afternoon and another to a
home on Bay street Saturday morn
ing. Damage was not extensive at
either home.
The Sunday afternoon fire was
discovered by Hubert Fulcher,
Morehead City policeman, who no
ticed flames inside the house at
1307 Shepard st. He notified the
chief of police, E. J. Willis, who
called the fire department, but by
the time firemen arrived Officer
Fulcher and neighbors had re
moved from the house a burning
sofa.
Residents of the home, Mr. and
Mrs. J. N. Gaskins. were away at
the time. Mrs. Gaskins said she
didn't know how the fire started
unless a cigarette dropped between
the cushions of the sofa.
The inside of the house was
scorched but the major damage was
to the sofa.
A rusted pipe leading from a
coal burning hot-water heater into
a chimney caused the outside of
the house at 1205 Bay St., to burst
into flames.
An alarm sent the Morehead
City fire department to the scene
and the fire was quickly extin
guished.
A fire department official said
that the blaze did not damage the
interior of the dwelling.

CP&L Expected
To Build Large
Generating Plant
One of the first steps expected
in eastern North Carolina as the
result of Carolina Power and
Light's purchase of Tide Water
Power co. is the construction of a
steam generating plant.
Tide Water also had in mind
the building of such a plant and
had obtained government priority
for the material. The priority pa
pers will now be used by CP&L.
It has been reported that none
of Tide Water's directors will be
made members of the CP&L board
and that Tide Water President
Warren Bell's future status as a
CP&L vice-president will be large
ly advisory. Tide Water's opera
ting personnel and employees will
not be seriously affected, accord
ing to reports from Raleigh.
The following statement was
made recently by W. W. Bell, presi
dent of Tide Water Light and Pow
er co., and sent to company em
ployees:
You undoubtedly saw the news
story announcing the forthcoming
merger of Tide Water with Caro
lina Power and Light Company. 1
hope you read it carefully.
If it had been possible for me
to talk with each member of the
Tide Water organization individu
ally I would have done so. How
ever, we could not discuss the pro
posed merger with anyone before
the meeting of the Board of Direc
tors.
Naturally, the thought of your
own security and your own future
came into your mind when you
learned of the proposed merger.
It was in my mind, too, when the
merger discussions were taking
place.
As a result of our discussions
with Carolina Power and Light it
is my positive opinion that the mer
ger need cause you no worry. In
fact, there is a good possibility that
a bigger and better future awaits
you as a result of the merger.
I am confident that Carolina
Power and Light will maintain our
traditions of good service, of good
personnel and public relations, and
1 of working continously toward the
development of the area we serve.
We have 'all been proud of Tide
Water and what we, as an organiza
tion working harmoniously togeth
er, have accomplished. Our team
has brought Tide Water a long way
in a comparatively few years.
Now I am sure that you will be
equally proud of the larger organi
zation of which you will be a mem
ber. We'll still be working together
and with bigger goals in sight and
bigger opportunities before us.
Morehead Cily Firemen
Annotwce Christmas Plus
Morehead City firemen this year
will devote their Christmas effort
to decoration, supplying 1 needy
families with food, and sending
Santa Claus through the town on
a fire truck to give fruit to the
children.
Because Jaycees have undertaken
toy collection and repair, the fire
men said they will not collect toys
this year. They will repair a few,
they added, to go with boxes of
food, but their toy operations will
not be carried out on a large scale
as in previous years.
Since the new fire truck arrived,
lack of space also makes extensive
toy repair impossible, firemen said.
