Taylor Brothers
Confer Friday J
At Morehead City
Former Sea Level Residents
Meet with Medical Soci
ety, Hospital Trustees
At thi invitation of Dr. B. F.
Royal, Morehead City, the Taylor
* brothers, D. E., W. R., Alfred, and
. Leslie, formerly of Sea Level, con
ferred Friday night at the More
head City hospital with members
of the hospital board of trustees
and the Carteret County Medical
society.
Also present was Graham Davis,
Battle Creek, Mich., who is in
charge of hospital institutions of
tbe Kellogg Foundation and is di
recting now a pilot study for the
University of North Carolina on
t hospital maintenance in this state.
The .purpose of the meeting was
to learn more in detail the Taylor
brothers' plans for building a 27
bed hospital at Sea Level, their
home community.
Physicians and persons affiliated
with the Morehead City hospital
suggested that the Taylors consider
a contribution to the Morehead
City institution. Doctors exp|esscd
the opinion that they thought a
hospital at Sea Level would diffi
? cult to staff.
The Taylor brothers, who with
their father, Maltby, have organ
ized a charitable foundation "for
the purpose of developing projects
of this kind," such as hospitals, are
vitally interested, however, in do
ing something for Sea Level, the
place where they were reared.
Davis, who was called in for con
i sultatfpn. is a native Carteret
t countian, the son of Mrs. J. J. Da
vis of Smyrna and the late Dr.
pavis.
No final decision was made at
Friday night's meeting and it is
generally believed that the Taylors
will proceed with plans for some
type of hospital at Sea Level.
D. E. Taylor is president of the
West India Fruit and Steamship
co., West Falm Beach, Fla. His
brothers are also affiliated with
that concern. In 1940 he purchased
the 537-room Palm Beach Biltmore
hotel at a price reported to be $2
million. At that time he also operat
ed the Norfolk sugar brokerage
firm, D. E. Taylor and co., and was
head of the Southern Salt co.

In Qpon Grounds Friday
All fires In the eastern Motion
of the county were under control
by Friday night, E. M. Foreman,
forest ranker, reported yetter
day. He added that a report will
be forthcoming in aeveral dayi

Between U and 5* men
fought the blazes which broke
out May 5 and continued through
the week, burning in the open
grounds, until partially quenched
by rain late Thursday afternoon.
Because of swampy terrain,
heavy equipment could not be
used to advantage, but tractors
and plows of two paper com
panies were standing by.
Marines Who j
Viewed A-Bolhb
Return to Base
Cherry Point. ? Nearly 200 Avia
tion Marines have returned to the
Marine Corps Air station after a
month of atomic bomb maneuvers
which again proved th^ truth of
th#? axiom that all Leathernecks,
regardless of specialties, are bas
ically infantrymen.
The men formed one company
of the provisional battalion of East
Coast Marines from Camp Lejeune
and Cherry Point who joined with
a battalion from Camp Pendleton,
Calif., to provide the troops for the
maneuvers at the Atomic Energy
commission's Nevada proving
grounds.
The Cherry Point men, com
manded by Captain Richard Mc
Kown. formed as a rifle company
for the exercise designed to give
the troops experience and confi
dence in the A-bomb as a tactical
weapon. The maneuver's objec
tives were attained according to its
commanding officer, Brigadier
General Joseph C. Burger of Camp
Pendleton.
Following preliminary training
here and at Camp Lejeune, the
Leathernecks came here in a truck
convoy for the flight to Nevada.
Marine transport planes and char
tered civilian aircraft were used
for the trip west.
At Camp De9*rt Bock, an Army
tent camp for troop^ participating
in the ABC experiments with
atomic weapons, the men contin
ued their training while waiting for
suitable weather for "Shot Day."
After two delays due to rain the
detonation was made over the Yuc
ca Wat test site May 1.
The aviation Marines crouched as
infantrymen in foxholes as the
blast occurred. They were nearer
to the explosion than troops have
been to any previous atomic blast.

OPS Says Watch
Gasoline Prices
Raleigh- In view of the current
gasoline shortage, the public of
Eastern Carolina has been caution
ed to watch prices on gasoline and
other petroleum prices by OPs
District Director Alton G. Murchi
son.
Ceiling prices must be posted in
service stations, the director said,
and the price computed on the
pump does not necesarily consti
tute the ceiling. He explained that
the pump price could be lower, but
not higher, than the posted ceiling
price.
Under Ceiling Price Regulation
13, the director explained, prices
for gasoline, lubricating oils and
other petroleum products must be
clearly posted in the place of busi
ness, in addition to the prices
charged for ^rious services which
are covered by CPU 34.
"An over-charge for any com
modity constitutes the basis for
three-times the amount of the over
charge to be awarded to the con
sumer. or a minimum of $25."
Murchison pointed out, "and all !
tie-in sales are illegal."
Electric Storms J

City Dwellers W ant Daylight J
Time, Rural Residents Don't
To save daylight or not to gave
daylight by going on "fast" time
has resolved itself into the state of
limbo which exists everywhere the
issue is contemplated: the majority
in the urban areas want it, the ma
jority in the rural areas don't.
In heavily populated metropoli
tan areas, the urban residents out
number the rural, and therefore
daylight saving time goes into ef
fect, not because there is a vote
The majority of ballots return
ed to THE NEWS-TIMES were
from municipal residents. Ap-.
proximately N per cent were in
favor of daylight saving time.
taken on it, but because the pro
tests of the minority, if any, are
far outweighed by the pro-day
lighters, and if it would come to a
vote, the people in the cities would
have their way.
In addition to sampling opinion
with a ballot in THE NEWS
TIMES. other sentiments were ex
pressed by residents of the county
as follows:
When asked if he were in favor '
of daylight saving time. Lt. Sam I
Coffey, 2006 Evans St., Moreheail
City, replied: "Oh boy. I sure am
in favor of it. Put me down for
three votes!"
Mrs. W. N. Allen, Newport,
whose husband is affiliated with
Allen and Bell Hardware store, de
clared : "Definitely not. We have
to open our store according to the
hours farmers keep. We open now
at .7 a.m. and if lye went on day
light saving time, we'd have to
open an hour earlier. We cIok at
9 p.m. and those hours arc too long.
Six o'clock is too early for anj one
to get out."
Mrs. J. R. Mebane, Beaufort, de
clares that daylight saving time
would mean that she would get out
sooner in the morning to work in
her garden and would like to sec
"fast time" go into effect.
Mrs. J. O. Fussell, Mrs. A. B.
Roberts. Mrs. Clyde Burr, and Mrs.
Johh I'avonc, all of Morehead City
arc "definitely" in favor of it.
Mrs. Pavone adds, "Lots* of my
neighbors arc too."
Mrs. Billy Arrington. Beaufort,
remarked that it didn't make much
difference to her but she thought it
would do away with a lot of con
fusion if Carteret county adopted
daylight saving time in accordance
with the Marine bases.
Mrs. Alfred Walence Of Marshall
berg. who teaches at Morehead
City school, declared herself "very
much in favor of it."
Mrs. Taplcy. 2408 Arcndell
st., Morehead City, whose husband
is a lieutenant in the Marine corps,
says it really doesn't make any dif
ference but if Morehead City stays
on slow time, they have "more
time" to shop. On* the latter point
Maj. E. H. Arndt, USMC, 2708 's?
Evans st., Morehead City, agrees.
Miss Lucille Gould, Newport,
who works at the Morehead City
Garment co., says she wouldn't like
daylight saving time. "From my
standpoint, I'd have to go to work
an hour earlier."
Mrs. Frances Boone, Mrs. Albert
Chappell, Mrs. G. W. Duncan, and
Mrs. Carl Hatsell, all of Beaufort,
arc in favor of trying daylight Rav
ing time. Mrs. llatsell suggested
it be put U> a vote. Mrs. Paul ,
Jones and wrald Woolard, also of ,
Beaufort, say it doesn't matter to ,
either of them what time we op- ,
erate on.
Frank Reams, who operates a |
grocery store in Morehead City, is ,
in favor of daylight time, while Mr.
and Mrs. Truman Davis of Smyrna ,
are doubtful. Mr. Davis says he's ,
"Not very much in favor of it," ,
while Mrs. Davis remarks, "There

The first indication of trouble

There was no disorder of any
