Giving to Cancer
Fund This Week
Letters from the Carteret county
unit, American Cancer society,
Hrere mailed throughout Beaufort
and Morehead City over the week
end. Carl Southerland, Morehead
'City, who is heading the drive,
urges everyone to make a contri
bution within the coming week.
Part of the letter, signed by
Southerland, follows:
"If you have seen cancer strike
your family or friends, you know
what a dread disease it is. All of
us fear it, for it hits one person in
live, and leaves countless others
pain-ridden and in debt. An aver
age of 25 persons die of cancer in
Carteret county every year.
I "A high percentage of the
deaths from cancer are needless. If
taken in time the disease can be
Cured.
"Your dollar for the American
Cancer society in North Carolina
goes for: education of the public
as to signs of cancer and what to
do about them: education of our
doctors as to latest developments
In diagnosis and treatment: re
search into causes and cures; fi
nancial help for needy sufferers;
support of the free cancer detec
tion clinics in the state (Wilming
, ton is the nearest to us); operation
> of the new nursing home for needy,
incurable cancer victims at Lum
\ bcrton; and many other services.
"Carteret's share of the $300,000
state goal is only $1,444. The state
fund is, to date, $25,000 short, and
every penny is needed for this
broad program to fight the No. 2
> killer. We all want Carteret coun
ty to do her part.
"Give the most that you can. By
July 28th, if possible, please mail
or send your contribution to Mrs.
George Eastman, c/o Eastman Fur
niture Company, Morehead City,
?N. C."

Crash Friday J
Beaufort Man Injured; Fun
eral Services Held Yes
terday for Sea Level Men
Funeral services were conducted
yesterday morning at Sea Level
for two Sea Level Coast Guards
men, Avery Taylor, jr., 22, and
Linas Willis, 28 who were killed in
an automobile accident six miles
north of New Bern on highway 17
Friday afternoon.
Injured in the same accident
was Sanford C. White, 21, of Beau-,
fort, who is also in the Coast
Guard. He suffered a broken col
larbone and is recovering. Others
in the car at the time were Ernest
Lee Davis of Jacksonville and G
L. Snipes of Morchead City who
escaped without injury.
The car carrying the five service
men collided with a truck after go
ing into a spin on highway 17. The
five Coast Guardsmen were headed
south toward Carteret county on a
72-hour leave from their duties at
Berkeley, Va.
The truck was headed north, and
trailing it was a car driven by Casi
mer Kozakiewicz of the Bronx, New
York.
At an inquest in the Craven
county court house at New Bern
Saturday Kazakiewicz was held re
sponsible for the deaths of the two
Coast Guardsmen and was placed
under $5,000 bond for his appear
ance at the September term of Cra
ven county superior court.
Testimony offered at the inquest
told how the New Yorker allegedly
pulled out from behind a van truck
he was trailing as the two vehicles
headed in a northerly direction and
came face to face with another car
driven by Willis.
In a desperate effort to avoid a
head-on collision, Willis applied his
brakes. His car went into a skid
ding spin and struck the front of
the truck as Kazakiewisz turned to
the left into a ditch in a successful
attempt to avoid striking the other
two vebiclcs.
Willis was instantly killed and
Taylor, who was riding in the front
seat #fth him, died in an ambu
bW 6ft mite to a New Bern hos

Statement on Fertilizer Imports
Morehead City Seeks Federal
Help on Rental Housing Units
The town of Morehead City took<
a step toward obtaining more hous
ing Thursday night when the board
of commissioners, in monthly ses
sion at the town hall, approved a
resolution to call the housing short
age to the attention of Sen. Willis
Smith and Congressman Graham A.
Barden.
The resolution was presented by
J. A. DuBois, manager of the
chamber of commerce, on behalf of
the housing committee of the cham
ber of commerce.
The chamber of commerce man
ager told the board, "There's not
a house or an apartment for rent in
town. We're badly in need of ren
tal property. The only way people
can get a place to live is buy. a
house and most people can't afford
that. Houses that are being built
are for sale, not for rent."
I The chamber official added,
"FHA says we're in a critical area,
yet we still can't get materials and
priority to build."
The resolution passed by the
board follows:
Whereas, the Town of Morehead
City now faces a most critical hous
ing shortage, one which may actual
ly impair the national defense ef
fort;
And whereas, construction of
homes both for private use and for
rental purposes has lagged far be
hind the unusual growth of local
business and industry, and the
great demand resulting therefrom,
as reflected by building permits is
sued by the city namely, sixty-four
units in the year 1950; fifty-seven
units in the year 1951, and only
seventeen units thus far in the year
1952, which figures show an amaz
ing decline in home construction,
and a great many of these units
being of the two and three room
apartment type;
And whereas, the Morehead City
Chaihn ber of Commerce in its fran
tuCZdiorts to find homes for the
many new families arriving almost
daily, reports that there are no
rental units available and very few
desirable homes for sale, and that
dozens of rental applicants are be
ing turned away weekly;
And whereas, permanent Navy
personnel, in considerable numbers
are expected to begin arriving in
the city shortly, at least fifty or
more in number, to operate the
new Navy port facilities now un
der lease by the Navy;
And whereas, a considerable in
crease in the operating personnel
for the State Ports Authority will
be arriving in the very near fu
ture;
And whereas, the steady but
somewhat increased growth orlocal
business and industry demands ad
ditional housing for new employees
and their families, which is a
"must" if Morehead City is to con
tinue its rapid growth;
And whereas, the increase of
housing facilities at Cherry Point
and at other nearby military in
stallations, while supplying needs
for the military, fail completely to
add any housing facilities for ci
vilians daily flocking to Morehead
City as a result of the expansion
brought on by new industries and
the normal increase of business;
Now therefore, in consideration
of the premises, and view the pres
ent situation with great alarm, the
board of commissioners of the
town of Morehead City does hereby
resolve :
Morehead City finds itself be re
ported to our national representa
tives, particularly tq our Senator,
Honorable Willis Smith, and our
District Representative, Honorable
(iraham A. Bardcn. with the re
quest that the housing situation be
investigated by the proper govern
mental authorities at the earliest
possible moment; that, if necessary,
a representative from the properly
constituted authority be sent to
Morehead City forthwith to make
such investigation, to meet with in
terested citizens of the town of
Morehead City, and to obtain all
necessary information first hand,
all this with a view of providing
housing facilities so urgently need
ed at this time."

? As the result of extensive
investigation and study by
the United States Coast
Guard^ Morehead City port
facilities have been approved
for the handling of am
monium sulfate nitrate, but
not for other ammonium ni
trate fertilizers.
This announcement came to THE
NEWS-TIMES this week from Mer
lin O'Neill, vice admiral. U. S.
Coast Guard, Commandant. Wash
ington. D. C.
Admiral O'Neill's statement, in
full, follows:
"The Coast Guard has been con
ducting a study in connection with
the hazards involved in the water
transportation of ammonium nitrate
and ammonium nitrate fertilizer
products with a view of revising
the present regulations. As a re
sult of this study, and upon the
recommendations of the Interagen
cy Committee formed to review
these results as they were present
ed. the Coast Guard on 8 April
1952 issued orders that ammonium
surfate nitrate (a double salt of
approximately 60 per cent am
monium sulfate and 40 per cent
ammonium nitrate ? 26 per cent
nitrogen content) will no longer be
classified as an oxidizing material
coming under the shipping name
of ammonium nitrate fertilizer.
"Facilities handling this material
need no longer comply with the
isolation requirements set forth in
Coast Guard regulations for other
types of ammonium nitrate fer
tilisers. However, since there ap
pears to be some inherent danger
in its water transportation, it still
will be considered as coming un
der the Dangerous Cargo Regula
tions and classified as a hazardous
article. If the facilities at More
head City or any other port meet
the security requirements set forth
in 33 CFK part 126, Port Security
Regulations, they may be used for
the handling of this material.
"Final action as to changes in
the regulations that might relax
the present requirements for ves
sels and facilities handling other
types of ammonium nitrate fertil
izers. in particular so-called 'cal
cium ammonium nitrate fertilizers,'
will not be taken until a complete
report of the hazards of these ma
terials is received and acted upon
by the Coast Guard.
"The Morehead City facilities
have not been approved for the
handling of ammonium nitrate fer
tilizers other than ammonium sul
fate nitrate, referred to above."

Award for Service
A 'citation for distinguished ser
vice has been awarded posthumous
ly to Charlie C. Hawkins of the
Beaufort, North Carolina Fish and
Wildlife Service station. The a
ward was effective upon Hawkins'
retirement, on Sept. 30. 1951, after
forty years of Federal service. He
died on May 4 of this year.
In 1911, at the age of 18, Charlie
Hawkins started to work on a
temporary basis at the Beaufort
station. In 1928 he assumed full
time duty and until he retired for
disability, rendered outstanding
service. This was often at the risk
of his own personal safety and far
beyond the call of duty. His loyalty
and devotion have been a monu
ment of public service according to
the interior department, under
which the FIcWLS operates.
In the citation, composed by
Secretary Chapman, Secretary of
the Interior wrote: "It is a plea
sure to grant to Mr. Hawkins at
the close of a period dedicated to
the welfare and protection of gov
ernment property the highest hon
or of the Department of the In

Award."
