Fire Threatens Cast Carolina Seoul Camp The 10,000 Scouts and their lead j ers of the East Carolina Council almost lost Camp Charles through < lire a couple of weeks ago. The ! blaze appeared to be the result of a careless fisherman or hunter who dropped a match or cigarette. It required the time and expense of the fire departments of three , neighboring communities of Bail j ey. Middlesex and Wilson to pro- 1 tect the camp. Due to the abuse and careless ness of many fishermen, the Boy | Scout Council's Camp Development j committee has been forced to make stringent regulations about : the use and trespassing. No fishing i or trespassing will be permitted at anytime or lor any purpose other j than Scouting or as a special re- I cognition for an outstanding serv ice to the Camp or to the East Caro lina council. False Alarm Beaufort firemen were roused by a false alarm shortly after mid night Saturday. The alarm was turned in from box 36.

Morehead City, N. C. 4 4 Board (Continued from Page 1) budget is estimated at $276,321.39, the balance coming from state and federal funds. There is an overall decrease of approximately $6,000 in the welfare budget this year, re marked Miss Georgie Hughes, wel fare superintendent, but the amount to be paid by the county has increased $3,153.11 due to in crease in old age assistance, aid io dependent children, aid to the per manently and totally disabled, ind aid-to-blind grants. Appropriated for a child welfare worker during the coming year is $1,672.50. The worker's salary will be paid by the state, but the travel ing expenses and car depreciation is paid by the county, Miss Hughes explained. Administrative expenses to be paid by the state are up $13,000. In the budget is a $10 monthly in crease for welfare department em ployees beginning Jan. 1, 1953, with an increase in the superin | ten-dent's salary. Welfare board ! members fees have been raised, she said, and an item of $300 has been included for office equip ment. $500 Increase The total budget for both the farm and home agent's offices is $7,912.68, an increase of $60 in the farm agent's budget for phqpt calls and nn increase of $440 in the home agent's budget, a total of $500. The latter includes $165 for lights. $35 increase for offi?* supplies, $60 for , long distance phone calls, and $180 salary increase for the home agent. j The board granted James All | good, assistant farm agent, who is I an officer in the Army Reserve, I permission to attend summer mili tary training camp from June 15 29. Mayor Dili was told that the county would accept $23,83 in set tlement of taxes due on prouferty gold in 1943 to the Morehead^ity Garment co. by the town of More head City. The property belong ing to J. A. Small, lot 16 in square 60. had $71.48 in taxes due when the town bought it. The colnty accepted one-third settlement tin der an agreement made with More head City several years ago. Time (Continued from Page 1) are some good advantages and some bad." Mrs. William Dwiggins, 102 Noyes ave.. Morflfcftid City, whose husband is in tflf Marine corps, believes daylight saving time would be a nice gesture toward making military and civilian life better co ordinated. "The way it is now, it's rather confusing," she eom : mented. j Persons who contend they have to "get up an hour earlier" fre quently forget to take into consid eration that they would get home "an hour earlier" from work if they continued on the same hour sched ule as under standard time. If however, a place of business opens at 8 a.m. and stays open un til dark even if dark would come at 10 p.m. by the clock, they would naturally be putting in longer hours. In metropolitan areas, in urban or industrial sections, people work by the clock. The fact that the sun is hanging around in the sky while they are at work is co incidental to the fact that the clock on the wall says it's time for lunch or time to go home.

Austing^ichols j Marines (Continued from Page 1) Following the initial flash they stood up in the protective holes, waited for the shock wave from the explosion to pass their positions, and then kft the foxholes ^ithin seconds to simulate an approach toward the target area. After the "advance," the men halted and observed the phenome non! of the bomb's mushroom cloud of dust and 'smoke and the ascent of the brilliant fire ball from the detonation height to the peak of the cloud. While this took place, radiological teams from the AEC inspected the area near "ground zero" for the explosion. The Leathernecks then went into the area to examine test positions of military equipment and cloth ing placed to show the effects of the A-bomb on weapons and other gear at various distances from the blast. The men had earlier viewed the positions as set up jo that they could note the changes caused by the explosion to the rifles, uni forms, trucks, communications ma terials and emplacements. Following "Shot Day" the men returned by air to Cherry Point and then went by truck to Camp Lejeune where the provisional bat talion was disbanded. The avia tion personnel then stepped back from their roles as infantrymen to their specialties as aircraft me chanics, radiomen, truck drivers, supply clerks and other jobs re lated to the air wing. The local men not only were the first Leathernecks to actively par ticipate in atomic maneuvers, but they were also starred in a motion picture filmed in Nevada by the Marine corps for use in the regu lar training of its troops in the fu ture. Disease-Free Sweeis Grow On Davis Island, Carteret Sweet potatoes grown on Davis island in Carteret county are free of internal cork disease. For that reason Dr. L. W. Nielson, associate professor of plant pathology. State college, came to the county last week to plant more so that more disease-free stock could be obtain ed for experimental purposes. Because disease-free sweet pota toes tan be produced on the island, Dr. Nielson advances the theory that internal cork is carried by in sects traveling from one field to the other.

Making the Grade for Uncle Sam CONFUSED ? This young man wonders what induction will mean to his future. m i? ? wmmmmmmm Al ISemfnturei PREPARATION for a tour of duly in the armed forces of &e United States is the theme of a new series of films being re* leased through schools, clubs, and churches. Produced by a group of educational associa> tions, the U.S. Department of Defense and Coronet Films, they are designed to show young men what to expect from their period of service and after tfiey complete the tour. They , re suited from studies that showed many boys were confused as to what they ought to do before going into service and what the results of such duty would be. Here are some scenes taken from the 14 short, films which have been produced in the project. MORAL standards, the films urge, should keep a man proud to write to his family. COMRADESHIP can be one of the most impor tant elements of military service, the films indicate. It can help self-reliance and sense of responsibility. PRIDE in the uniform goes with pride of country, is one of the film themes. The best preparation for service is good citizenship before and after military training.

Patches, a Dalmatian, much prefers a con vertible to any other model of automobile. When (he doors are locked and the windows are clos ed, a conscientious dog can eat his way out of ? or into ? a convertible. Patches has done this thn?e times, even thofagli his owner, Mr*. J. B. ModMttt, vml park ets filled with bl*k pepper to the Inside of the fabric after the second assault.

C.- *Kermit Hunter's new outdoor drama, "Horn in the West," opening a summer-long run at Boone June 27, marks a new de velopment in the outdoor drama form, according to Samuel Selden. director of thfc play and head of | the department of dramatic aii at [ the University of North Carolina. Instead of .a dozen scenes tied together with narration, the new script follows the movie technique in weaving some 40 separate scenes together in a play which mows , without pause from stage to stage ' of the outdoor Daniel Boone thea tre. The narrator's voice is used only at the beginning and- end of the drama.
