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

? 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

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.

Amount to $700 J
Damage amounting to $700 was
caused at 8:30 Wednesday night

?ld Lee Dudley. Police Chief Carl
ton Garner said Dudley, facing

:o a girl who was standing nearby,
rhe chief said the Dudley car was
ibout 5 feet from the curb.

in Front and told police he thought
le could clear the stopped car. In
itead, he ran into it, police said.

Of Oasis , W anted for Prison Break
Homing Pigeon Lands Tuesday
On Capt. 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.
Chamber Initiates Steps

head City chamber of commerce

ceiving them should fill in each
one with the following iniormation:
name of debtor, date of filling out
card, address of debtor, first billing
date, original amount, item or
service, date pf last payment made,
and the balance due. lhere is *4 so
a upace for additional remarks.'
The cards should be placed in
an envelope for mailing and en

has filled the cards out. Each firm
filling out cards will be given a
number. That number will be
placed, as a means of identifica
tion. on each file card. The key

Town Struggles /
With Garbage
The garbage situation has More
head City town fathers tearing out
what little hgtr they have left.
Not a bit of garbage had been
collected on the north side of town
after 10 a. m. Monday. Several of
the crew were sick, others just quit,
and all evidently felt it was just
too hot to work.
To get around working in the
heat of the day. J. V. Waters,
street superintendent, suggested
that collections be made from 6
a. m until 10 a. m. and from 6 p.
m. until 10 p. m.
That schedule was agreed upon
by the town crew, reported Mayor
George W. Dill Wednesday, and he
asked that residents not get excited
if they hear someone bumping
around in their alleys at 6 o'clock
in the morning or after dark at
night. "Don't shoot." warned the
mayor, "it's probably just the gar
bage man.''
The night collections in the busi
ness section will proceed as initiat
ed two weeks ago. That program,
reported the mayor, is working out
satisfactorily.
