follows:
May 3, 1952
My dear Mr. Mayor:
I respectfully request, in the in
terest of health protection, that
the town of Beaufort enforce its
dog ordinance.
As rabies is largely a warm
weather disease, the time is ap
proaching when an outbreak of the
disease is most apt to occur ? al
ready in a nearby town, Washing
ton, N. C , it was reported a few
days ago that a mad <Ug bit a -child
and seven other dogs.
Death from rabies (hydrophobia)
is one of the most horrible of all
deaths. \
As to its fatality, I speak from
two high medical authorities:
"Once symptoms of rabies de
velops. death is inevitable in ani
pial or man." Merck's Manual 8th
Edition.
"When once established the dis
ease is hopelessly incurable. Prac
tice of medicine. Osier. ,
Our duty in protecting adults Is
plain but our duty to children is
doubly plain.
Very truly yours,
N. Thos. Ennett, M. D.

Officer

the town attorney to draw up the
ordinance and suggested that Dun

Firefighters Work Desperately,
Hope for Rain, Wind Shift
Five fires were raging yesterday in the open grounds
and have kept fire-lighters on the jump ewr since Monday
when they first broke out. For the past two months Car
teret county has been relatively free of forest fires, due to
most of the farmers being careful in burning off fields,
forest rangers declare. However, lack of rain during the
past 10 days created a perfect set-up for fires.
The dryness and high winds from*
the north have been whipping the i
fires with a frenzy and unless the J
winds shift or rain comes, there
is little hope of controlling the con
flagrations.
At the beginning of the week
one fire broke out at the head of
W.nd shifted to the west late
yesterday afternoon. A thunder
storm brought heavy rains and
first relief to firefighters in four
days.
Williston Crock, later another at |
the head of the creek at Davis, an j
other between Stacy and Davis,
and two more near Williston. All 1
are burning now in the open ,
grounds.
Long Hours
E. M. Foreman, county forest
ranger, with his crew of fighters
have been on luty night and day.
Mrs. Marvin Willis, spotter at the
fire tower at Otway was on duty
until 11:30 p.m. Tuesday night and
until 10:30 Wednesday night.
The first fires are believed to
have been deliberately set. Al
though the scrub timber and marsh !
grass are not valuable in the open ,
grounds. Hoy Beck, soil conserve
tionist of Carteret county, says that
the open grounds and one other '
spot in eastern Carolina are the
only places in the state where the
rich soil, muck, has not been burn
ed out.
Danger of Soil llurning
"If the ground catches fire, it
will Ih? too bad." he remarked. In
another section of the state, such :
occurred and now he says the place j
is nothing biit three or four inches
of ashes and sand.
Muck results when small organ
isms decay and through the years
ivnlimm to jitter i/.e, making a
rfch soil. At present. Miss Geor
gina Yeatman, owner of the open
grounds, is undertaking an exten
sive drainage project to reclaim
the land.
"The fires there have destroyed
many of my stakes, about five
days' work," commented Heck who
is assisting Miss Yeatman in the
drainage 'work.
65-Foot Trawler
Moves to Water
A mammoth 65-foot trawler
started its trip southward on 23rd
street in Morehead City Tuesday,
bound for the water. Owned by E.
C. (Carroll) Ballou, 2302 Bay St.,
it was built at the rear of his home.
Early Tuesday morning a crew
of men, headed by Carroll's
brother, D. A. (Darius) Ballou.
started the slow task of moving it.
Half a day was spent in getting it
from behind the house to the
street, a distance of less than a half
block. At noon they started down
23rd and the task was finished at
4:30. The trawler, just a hull now,
was launched from the foot of the
street Wednesday morning and
floated to the foot of Evans street
where it will be finished.
Started the middle of February,
the vessel is expected to be com
'pleted by the first of July. Ballou
expects to take the trawler to
South Carolina in August. A huge
thing, 18 feet wide and 65 feet
long, painted white with a coating
of copper paint on the bottom, the
trawler will be called the Easy Lee.
The engine, a Caterpillar diesel,
is being ordered from Norfolk.
Phil Lockhart was in charge of the
construction and working with him
were C. R. Mann and William Her
bert Oglesby, all of Mill Creek.
