Simpson, Morehead City route 1, is among the thousands of prisoners being held by the Communists in prisohcr - of war camps in Korea. Mrs. Earl T.

Austin of Elizabeth City, has been missing since Feb. 13, 1950. The Communists report that Cor poral Morse is being held in the prison camp at Chiang Song.

Eman uel Arnann, USMC, route 4. Names of the prisoners, as sup plied the Department of Defense, total 11,559, less than a tenth of the number of UN soldiers miss ing. The department emphasized that it "cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information" since it was "supplied by enemy sources." The department also declared that official casualty status of those listed "will not be changed by vir tue of the enemy having reported them as prisoners of war." Morehead City Police Explain Radio Operation The police department of More head City doesn't quite understand how it got along before the city fathers gave it three short wave two-way radio sets. Since that big day last April, the officers have come to realize more and more what a time-saver and help the sets are. The largest and most powerful I piece of apparatus is in the sta tion; the other two in scout cars. The station radio has a range 'if about 50 miles end the car sets about half that distance. "Now." explained Officer Her bert Griffin, "one can speak to Sheriff Holland. Deputy Sheriff Ayscue or the New Bern police merely by flicking a switch. It's a lot quicker than making a tele phone call." A radio transmitter and receiver was installed about two months ago in the sheriff's car and the deputy sheriff, who is also county ABC officer, has had radio since May of this year. Officer Buck Newsome explain ed that Morehead City does not talk direct to the State police. Their car radios are on a different freqi"?ncy from that of municipal or county authorities. In order to contact the State patrolmen, we have to radio New Bern's police department, he con tinued. "They in turn telephone the State police station in New Bern where an officer broadcasts See RADIO, Page 2 Davis Baptist Church Will Present Drama Saturday Night The prophecy of Isaiah will pre face the First Baptist church of Davis' musical pageant to be pre sented tomorrow night at 7 o'clock.

Two Defendants Pay Court Costs on Fighting Charges Sheriff C. G.

Mathis, Green ville. Guirkins was arrested Dec. 5 after a chase from Harlowe toward Beaufort. The state did not prosecute the case against Lewis Collins (the name, Lewis Allen, was incorrect ly given THE NEWS-TIMES in Tuesday's account) who had been charged with transporting non tax paid whiskey. Collins, a colored employee at Scarboro-Safrit Lum ber co.. said that he had merely thumbed a ride in a car Sunday that was driven by Hoy Teel. When officers stopped the car, Teel ran. He later went to Claud Wheatlv, attorney, and said he had run from the car. In court Teel pleaded guilty to transporting non tax-paid whiskey and received a suspended judgment plus a $50 fine and costs. On another charge he pleaded guilty to speeding and careless and reckless driving and paid $25 plus costs. Walter Lawrence and Luther Gil likin, both of Otway, who were ar rested early Sunday morning by Sheriff Gehrmann Holland and Deputy Sheriff M. M.

The money will be used to buy baskets of food for familiea in need this Christmas season. Checks for the Christmas basket fund may 1 be mailed prior to the party. ^ A small part of Bethlehem* of long ago has been recre ated in breath-taking loveli ness in the yard of Core Creek Methodist church this Christmas season. In a stable constructed of rough-hewn logs lies a babe in a manger. Kneeling by the manger in an attitude of adoration is the mother, Mary. Standing by the man ger is Joseph and watching over the holy family is an angel clad in white. Hovering in the air over the stable are two angels and a cherub, while in stalls on each side of the manger are live animals, j Coming toward the birthplace from the east are three wise men with their camels and approaching from the other side are the wondering shepherds. Colored lights play on the angel choir as Christmas music fills the night air. The sheep, fittingly named Peter, on whose cars music had never fallen until he was call ed upon to play a role in the nativi ty scene, has not yet recovered from the shock. He stands won deringly, occasionally lifting his head in search of the strange sound. The life-size figures, numbering thirteen excluding the three camels, were made ? as was the whole scene ? by the members of Core Creek Methodist church. The work didn't start until Dec. 8 and in a brief 10 days the stable was built, the figures stuffed and dressed, and the beautifully modeled heads made. It was planned first to buy the heads, but when it was found that would be impossible, Fred Boswcll, a member of the church, said "I'll make them." He had never done A carol sing will begin at the Core Creek church manger scene at 7:30 tonight. Individual groups from churches throughout the county will be given an opportun ity to present numbers. The Rev. Louie I<ewis, pastor, and the con gregation extend an invitation to all. anything like if before, hi* win re lates, but the faces, made of plaster of paris, are as life-like as those on any professionally produced mannequin. Efforts to find out exactly who made what in the scene were of no avail. The answer always was. "Oh everybody helped, everybody in the church. Each one did some thing." Rain lessens not a bit the beauty of the creche. Over the bodies, made of straw and cotton, plastic material was wrapped before the outer garments were draped. Thus when it rains, the clothes fall free rather than cling to the figures. The heads have one coat of paint and three of shellac. The scene was ready for viewing Tuesday night and by Wednesday night at 11 o'clock when the lights brightening the creche were ready to be turned off more than 200 persons had come to see it. The view from highway 101, on an elevation and several hundred feet away from the scene is start ling. The distance from Beaufort to Core Creek church, which is lo cated by the inland waterway, is about eight miles and everyone who makes the "pilgrimage" will undoubtedly feel his time was well spent. Draft Office Hours to Change Mrs. Ruby Holland, clerk of the county draft board today announ ced a change in hours.
