THREE SECTIONS EIGHTEEN PAGtSS MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1952 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS State Highway Patrol Officers Demonstrate Speed Detector J Chamber Officer] Reports Pledging Of $1,545 to Date Board Meets Tuesday Night,' Appoints Committee on Transportation Pledged to date in the Beaufort chamber of commerce membership drive is $1,545, Glenn Adair, cham ber treasurer, reported at the monthly meeting of the board of t directors Tuesday night at the town hall. Odell M?rrill and Jarvis Herring were appointed as the chamber transportation committee. The board suggested that their first ac tion be to ask tjie state highway patrol to investigate the stop sign arrangement at thn intersection of highways 101 and 70. The board prefers that the stop sign on 101 facing traffic entering Beaufort be removed and that a stop sign be placed on highway 70 ' lacing traffic entering Beaufort. Traffic leaving Beaufort on high way 70 would not be required to stop, nor would a motorist be re quired to stop, acocrding to the board, if he were leaving Beaufort and entered highway 101 going north. The changing of stop signs was proposed because the board is of the opinion that highway 101, con necting Cherry Point and Beaufort, is heavily traveled at certain hours of the day and a different set-up in stop requirements would facilitate How of traffic. Braxton Adair reported that blueprints for benches to be placed throughout town are expected to be ready in the near future. In response to a request by . Marion Shuffler, of the division if commerce and industry, State IV partment of Conservation and De velopment, the board of directors ttunsf?v Shm WaK Iter, to iiwni 'Shuffler that busi ness interests in Beaufort would erect a building ior industrial pur poses, the building to be from 10,000 square feet to 30,000 square fbet in size. ! Walker explained that no indus try is immediately contemplated, but the information was requested ! for placement in the commerce and industry division's files. The direc tors said that a building would be ' constructed providing the occupant paid interest, taxes, and took care of maintenance. Four bills were authorized to be paid: telephone, membership plaques, mimeographing supplies, and the salary of (he chamber manager to date. 'Attending the meeting were President Gerald Hill, who pre sided. Holden Ballou, Glenn Adair, Halsey Paul, Dr. W. L. Woodard, E. W. Downum, and Braxton Adair.

Per sons wishing to reserve tickets Fuld call Mr. or Mrs. Elmer Wil ?t Williston, N. C. ions called the cham rce office, Morehead Pesaay and offered to do les to the Webb Memorial iter library. Tuesday was Day" and the library im nt committee hoped to col books. I ? A radar speed detector, known* to motorists as the "whammy," was ; demonstrated Monday afternoon on highway 70 west of the Morehead City airport. Witnessing the demonstration, given by officers of the State High way Patrol, were com! officials, police officers, and members of the county highway patrol unit. Lambert R. Morris, judge of county recorder's court, was most favorably impressed with the gad get. With a highway patrolman, he rode by the device and within a few minutes one of the cooperating highway patrolman radioed the car and told them how fast they were going. Units to Rotate I Five of the radar speed detectors I are going to be rotated throughout i the state, operating for several j days in each county. Signs will be I posted on major highways advising | motorists that radar speed control 1 is being used on North Carolina highways. It was pointed out that the signs are intended mainly to warn tourists, because use of the speed detectors will be widely pub licized in each Tar Heel communi ty. At present the units are being taken throughout the state on demonstration tours. The "whammy" consists of a small box, about the size of two cigar boxes which projects high frequency waves over the area it is intended to cover, a section of highway. As cars" go by, their speed is recorded in miles per hour on a dial. At the same time a print ed record is also made by a record ing device. This can be presented in court if necessary, but as yet, writen evidence has been seldom needed to obtain a speeding con viction in a "whammy" case. Three patrolmen are needed to operate the set-up. Patrolman A takes up a station at one point, Pairolman B takes up his post about a half mile away and Patrol man C stations himself at another I half-mile interval. A and C flank I B who is in the middle with the radar device. Use Walkic -Talkie' All three palrolmen have in their cars "walkie-talkie" radios through wheih they contact one another. The rcudios installed in ?Jumk r? toijiiied^nly to qc* trfct a central office. If B patrolman, the one who puts the bee on the speeder, notes that the "whammy" has recorded the speed of a passing car at 65 miles an hour, he radios the patrolman whose station the speeder will pass and the patrolman contacted prepares to take off after the vio lator. The device works just as well at night as in the daytime. Law en forcement officers believe it will do an excellent job of cutting down speeding, a crime that has been labeled as the No, 1 cause of acci dents. Each radar spfeed detector costs several thousand dollars. Motorists will not be informed on what days the gadget will be in their vicinity. Mayor George W. Dill, Morehead City, was impressed with the de monstration. He commented, how ever, that it would not be practical in a small municipality. He ex plained the device as a "magnified principle of the photo-electric cell." Conducting Monday's demonstra tion were Lt. Tom Brown and Sgt. V. L. Spruill, New Bern. Witness ing the "whammy 's" operation, in addition to Judge Morris and May or Dill, were Chief of Police Carl ton Garner, Beaufort; M. Leslie , Davis, solicitor, county recorder's - court; Robert H. Brown, J. W. | Sykes, W. E. Pickard, and William Smith, state highway patrolmen. .

Beaufort Resident Sees I Flying Saucer Sunday A resident of Beaufort saw a "flying saucer" Sunday night be tween 8:30 and 9 p.m. This woman, who phoned THE NEWS-TIMES late Monday after noon to report the phenomenon, said she was sitting on her back porch watching the sky, when a "large ball of something" came up over the horizon, about south southwest, curved, followed the horizon, and disappeared. The observer said she preferred that her identity not be disclosed, but was curious as to whether any one else had seen the object, which she described as being of "sort of a blue light." She added that it was vsiible for about a second and a half, and it left no trail as would a comet or "shooting star." If any other per son happened to see the object, THE NEWS-TIMES would be in terested in hearing about it. Phone 6-4175. ? J TownBoardMeets To HearComplaint By James H. Davis The Beaufort town board met in special session Wednesday morn ing at the town hall to consider a complaint by James H. Davis, Tur ner st. Davis said that Carolina Power and Light company was erecting a transformer bank south of his residence on Turner street, obstructing the view from his house. As the result of the complaint, the board passed a resolution ask ing that the power company place transformers in locations that will not detract from "the beauty of town streets or be objectionable to property owners." 1 The Increased demafed for power on Turnet and Front > streets has iMCCMtUteA imt^HalHe. ?t tional equipment. Because of low voltage recently, one firm was un able to operate all its olectrical equipment, and bills kept going higher and higher. George Stovall, manager of Carolina Power and Light com pany had no desire to "lamage" or detract from people's property, but it was the company's duty to serve the people as neceasity de manded. Before passing the resolution, Ihe town board referred to the sale contract of the power plant, 1931, wherein it was stated that right-of ways and property on which the town had easement were open to use by Tide Water Power company. Because of the recent merger of Tide Water and CP&L, the privi lege of using such right-of-ways and easement now is Carolina Power and Light's.

Bill's Gulf Dock \i Much to the surprise of Capt. Bill Styron, manager of the Gulf Oil dock in Morehead City, a hom ing pigeon landed og his dock Tuesday night about 6 p.m., just before dusk. Capt. Bill says he noticed him walking up and down on the dock as if he were waiting for someone to pay some attention to him. He | went over to where the bird was and put a net scoop over him and picked him up. Upon investigating Bill found that he was a carrier pigeon and had a note on his leg. The "mes sage" was encased in a small band of rubber and was dated July 3, 1952. It read: English Channel. Latitude 49 degrees 10'N, Longi tude 04 degrees 30'W. Also on the note was a name stamped in red ink, Italterra.' On the bird's other leg was his identification tag. The following was engraved on the metal tag ? NURW 50 G 115. Capt. Bill has no idea what to do with the bird, as the message didn't say what to do in case he strayed off course. He says he'll probably put another message on his leg and set him free after he has had a few days rest. Capt. Bill is keeping the bird under an overturned wire basket and feeding him corn and greens. A note on the cage reads: "DO NOT TOUCH THIS BIRD, DAM MIT." Signed, "Bill Styron." Bill said Wednesday that he couldn't get a bit of cooperation from the bird. "He won't say a word," remarked the dock man ager. "He must havejust needed refueling. I can't figure any other reason for him to pick the Gulf j dock to stop." The pigeon is a gray color with ; a green head and purple neckband.
