TWO SECTIONS TWELVE PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1952 PUBLISHED TUESDAY AND FRIDAYS Brazilian Student Visits J Morehead City Church, School Drew Pearson' Thanks Lions For Friendship Train Help Morehead City Lions, at their? meeting Thursday night at the Waterfront cafe, were read a letter from Columnist Drew Pearson, sponsor of the Friendship Train. The letter, addressed to Lion Vic tor Wickizer, thanked the Lions for a half carload of food they sent to Italy. Wickizer was in charge of the committee that collected the articles and loaded them iji a box car. The letter follows: "Dear Friend: "You will be happy to know that, though it has been more than four years since the American people sent the Friendship Train to France and Italy, that goodwill ges ture has not been forgotten. "And, because it has not been forgotten, the Italian people have collected an assortment of gifts for the American people, and the Italian Embassy in Washington, to gether with the newspaper II Mat tino dell'Italia Centrale,' which helped collect the gifts, has en trusted to me the matter of distri bution. "It afemed appropriate that these gifts, which are chiefly in the na ture of pictures, vases, wood carv ings, pottery and other tokens of sentimental value, should be given to the communities along the route of the Friendship Train, which largely made the train possi ble. "While I have a list of the lead ing workers in these communities, of which vour club was one, my list is not entirely complete and probably does not include the near ly communities which cooperated with you. Accordingly, and if it is agreeable to you, I will send you in the near future a few of the gifts from the Italian people, leaving to your club the question of their dis tribution in your area. "When the French 'Merci Train' arrived here, many of the Ameri can communities receiving the con tents of the boxcars placed them ia schools, universities, and mu seums. You may wish to do some thing similar with the gifts from ???ly. 1 know yo?? will v. Ah . that we should endeavor to lri irm the local newspapers so that ( the American people realize how deeply their goodwill gesture dur j ing the dark winter of 1947 was appreciated, and how the Italian people remember the Friendship Train even now, four years later. "Since assorting and repacking the gifts is rather a herculean task, and since I do not know ex actly how many gifts the crates contain. I cannot tell you as of this moment how many will be allotted to your community. At least you will receive one. I am writing now to ask if you will be good enough to act for the community in the matter of disposing of this gift or gifts. "If so, would you be good enough t6 send me the address to which the package should be sent. "Sincerely yours, "Drew Pearson." A night letter was sent Thurs day acknowledging the letter.

Beam, treasurer, said numerous others called Friday and offered the money if it had not already been paid. "It looks now as though we will have a full $5,000 to turn over to the county polio chapter. We were hoping to gross $5,000, but with the excellent response Friday, it looks as though we'll be able to pay campaign expenses and still have $5,000 left," she remarked.

Salisbury Over a period of more than 200 years the family name of Bell has been prominent in Carteret coun ty. It would take an expert geneal ogist to trace the several lines of this family in eastern North Caro * lina. The recent development of Mans field Park in the Morehead Bluffs section brings to light, through the searching of old titles, interesting facta dealing with one Colonel Joseph Bell, who over two cen turies ago was the owner of hun dreds of acres of land in the prei ent-day section of Mansfield. Mans \ field Park is a part of his once I vast holdings. As one studies the life and ac , tivities of Joseph Bell, which has been compiled by Marybell Dela mar of Raleigh, it proves that he was one of the most prominent citizens of the county in the early days. As a landowner he was rated a large planter. Active in the po litical life of his period, he held many public offices. His interest in the religious life of the times is evident, for he gave a site for the erection of a church building. Coming to Carteret county from Virginia about 1730, Colonel Bell purchased large tract* of land on both the north and south tides of the Newport river, extending to Bogue sound. During recent con struction work in Mansfield Park the foundation walls of the old Bell home have been unearthed. The aite of the house is about in the center of the new home de velopment. Neighboring planters of large acreage adjoined tbe Bell land on the south side of the river Wil liam Fisher owned a large planta tion called Whitehall to the east ward and beyond waa Shepams See COL. BELL, Page I, Sac. t ' I ' Children and young people of the First Baptist church and pupils at Morehead City school were thrilled over the weekend to meet Laiz Les* a from Rio de Janeiro who is studying at Southeastern seminary, Wake Forest. Laiz arrived in Morehead City Saturday evening as the guest of the First Baptist church. He spoke to church groups Sunday and visit ed at Morehead City school yester day morning, prior to returning to the seminary. Laiz is the first foreign student to enroll in the Southeastern Bap tist Theological seminary, going there for this year's second semes ter of work. The boys and girls of the junior department of the First Baptist Sunday school heard him Sunday morning. At 2 p.m. he spoke to the Iioyal Ambassadors who de cided to name their group in honor of the visiting Brazilian. They arc now known as the Laiz Lcssa chap ter of the Royal Ambassadors, First Baptist church, Morehead City. The student, youngest of 11 chil dren, continued his goodwill work Sunday night, addressing the Bap tist Training union. He showed pictures and told stories of Royal Ambassador work in Texas, Geor gia. North Carolina, and Brazil. Friendship between Laiz and the Morehead City Royal Ambassadors started at Fort Caswell the summer of 1950 and strengthened at last summer's encampment. Laiz is studying in preparation for organizing Royal Ambassador societies in Brazil, organizations which emphasize the study of for eign missions. Laiz comes from a family which includes nine Baptist pastors. His father who is 75 years old, is the oldest Baptist preacher in Brazil. Coming to the United States in 1049 on an exchange student scholarship sponsored by the Ro tary club, Laiz studied for a year at Lenoir-Rhyne college in Hick ory. He received his master of arts degree prior to that at the University of Rio de Janeiro and his bachelor of arts degree at Ra bello college in Rio. Laiz says that he has been im pressed by two things at South eastern seminary: the Southern hoapitality and the friendly, Chris tian atmosphere. "I feel that it is a privilege to be the first foreign student enrolled at the new South eastern seminary," he says. This summer Laiz plans to work in a North Carolina RA camp where he will observe the methods and practices of B. W. Jackson, late RA secretary. When he returns to Brazil next fall, Laiz will take over the RA work there while Brazilian Secre tary Hatton comes back to the United States for a furlough. Later on, Laiz says, he hopes to return to the seminary here for additional study. Before departing for his home land this year, he has promised his friends in Morehead City a return visit.

The barricade was erected by po lice to stop traffic between 14th and 15th st. because of the illness of the late Mrs. E. C. Willis, mother of "Skip" Willis. He said he saw a brown Chevro let* near the fceene He then saifl he saw it leave. He remarked he did not know who was in it or driv ing it. About five minutes later Capt. Buck Newsome of the More head City police department ar rived and Willis said that he told Newsome what had happened. Attorney Cross-Examines Wheatly cross examined Willis on the color of Newsomc's car, ask ed whether Newsome had gone through the spot at which the bar ricade had stood, whether Willis was sure whether it had been a brown car or a blue car that had demolished the structure and man aged to draw spluttering objections from Phillips which led to Wheat ly's suggesting to the court that Phillips be sworn in as a witness. Newsome, the state's second wit ness, related that he saw the brown Chevrolet standing at the Sound Esso station. He explained that he examined the damage to the bar ricade and found that a lantern which had b^cn on it was 27 feet down the street. Finds Car When he arrived at the Esso sta tion he said he found that the brown rar had been moved about 12 yards to the Sound Chevrolet parking lot and that, sitting in it was the defendant Willis.

He testified that Willis also told him that he had been drinking and that "Toip Mills would pay for any damage and get him out of trouble." "He was too drunk to operate a car and I took him to the police station," Newsome said, "and there I booked him on running through a barricade and for drunk driving. Chief Willis and Highway Patrol man Sykes were there at the time. Patrolman Sykes later took Willis home." Cross examining. Whcatly drew from Newsome that he did not sec Willis run through the barricade, did not see Willis driving the car at any time, and that when he got to it, found it parked on private' property.
