Eric Pake, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Pake, Bettie. might be
called Carteret county's own March
of Dimes poster boy. The 1952
March of Dimes poster boy is Larry
Jim Gross, 7-ycar-old son of a Unit
ed States soldier and his wife, Mr.
and Mrs. Jim Gross.
Although Eric is 11. he has been
battling polio five and a half years,
the same length of time as Larry
Gross. Eric was stricken when he
wai 6 and the little Grots boy when
^ *ii m.inonths. old.
Eric ii severely handicapped as
the result of the child-crippler,
polio, but his courageous efforts
to live a normal life are most ac
curately described as heroic. Ap
pearing on page 2 of this paper
are recent pictures of Eric. With
the support of leg braces and crut
ches, Eric finds he can be pretty
much of an independent individual.
Stricken la 1946
Eric was taken ill with infantile
paralysis in July 1946. His mother
said that he complained one night
of having pains in his legs and
would eat no supper. The next day
he seemed better but before long
his parents noticed he was having
difficulty in walking.
They took him immediately to a
doctor and then to Wilmington
where the illness was diagnosed as

Mrs. Bachael Benjock
Corrects Custody Item
Mrs. Rachacl Benjock, charged
with taking her two children away
from Beaufort school, has reported
to THE NEWS-TIMES that the
children were in the custody of the
family of her former husband,
Louis Hill. Beaufort, and not in
the custody of "her former hus
band. Sgt Albert Benjock" as re
ported in Friday's paper.
Judge Paul Frizelle ruled in a
recent hearing at Snow Hill that
Sgt Benjock and his wife, Rachael,
are entitled to custody of the child
ren providing they do not take the
children out of this state.
All custody cases must be heard
before the district judge and sincf
the judge ruled that Mrs. Benjock
had a right to have the children,
his ruling aborted the criminal ac
tion charged against Mrs. Benjock
in Carteret county, that of remov
ing the children from school.

the case before Judge Frizelle was

senting the Hill family was Harv

polio. He was sent to Duke hos
pital where he spent 28 days and
was later hospitalized at Charlotte.
Some of the expenses connected
with his illness have been borne
by the family, but Mrs. Pake re
marks. "1 don't know what we
would have done without help from
the Carteret county infantile para
lysis chapter. The March of Dimes
is a wonderful thing."
Eric has had periodic examina
tions ever since he suffered polio.
The*el of braces he's wearing How
are the third pair. They must be
changed as he grows and he must
also be fitted with special shoes.
One set of braces cost $150 and
were paid for with March of Dimes
funds and the new set he is wear
ing now. which cost $170, were also
paid for out of funds collected
through the March of Dimes.
Mother Comments
Eric's mother, who has kept
abreast of all the latest develop
ments in treatment of polio vic
tims. declared, "Research has done
a lot in the past five years," and
though crippling of the legs is
tragic, Mrs. Pake said that she felt
so sorry for other patients in the
same hospitals as her son who were
suffering from the crippling effects

Democrats are ]
Returns thus far in THE NEWS
TIMES poll on presidential candi
dates indicate that Carteret county
could easily go Republican in a
presidential election!
Almost without exception per
sons answering the poll believe the
i Truman administration is corrupt.
One citizen termed it "woefully in
efficient" while others said that
even though they are Democrats
they would vote for a Republican
presidential candidate.
This is another indication that
Americans will take just so much.
They're fed up with political hi
jinks, with the little fellows foot
ing the bills and the big guys
thumbing their noses at Washing
ton.
Votes for the Republicans are
almost evenly divided among Stas
sen, Taft, and Eisenhower.
On the Democratic aide of the
fence, Kefauver has the edge over
Tuman among those who say they
are Democrats and who will vote
the Democratic ticket come next
November.
The results thus far are surpris
ing, but no accurate prediction can
be made until more of the forms
accompanying this article are filled
in. clipped out. and returned to
THE NEWS TIMES office.
Everyone may have fine inten
tions of doing just that. BUT DO IT
NOW. If you wait till you finish
reading the paper, you'll forget it.
How other people are thinking will
vitally effect you and the type of
administration you will live under
for the next four years.
Unless you know how the home
folks think ? which can be found
out through this poll ? it will be
impossible to decide how much you
have to take the stump for your
candidate!

commerce office, Joseph A. Du
bois, chamber manager, has an

Businessmen are urged to visit
or telephone the chamber of com

said. This is a service to the pub

"The Raleigh office is holding
regularly scheduled field trips
throughout the district." said Dis
trict Director Alton G. Murchison,
"as a means of rendering every
possible aid to the people, and we
urge people to take advantage of
this opportunity of on-the-spot OPS
service."
The OPS official said that the
percentage of compliance with Reg
ulation 34 was low in this area,
and affected businesses were espe
cially warned of the necessity for
immediate compliance. Regulation
34 covers businesses rendering
services to the public for which a
fee is charged.
Murchison also reminded the
public that a great number of busi*
nesses for which a specific regu
lation has not been issued must
operate under the General Ceiling
Price Regulation.*
