Protests Proposed
Beaufort Curtailment
The Morehead City Chamber of
Commerce has joined the Beaufort
Chamber of Commerce in protest
ing the proposed curtailment of
hours of the Beaufort Western
pnion office.
In a letter to the Federal Com
munications Commission, Joseph
A. DuBois, manager of the More
head City Chamber of Commerce,
also indicates that His group will
'#ppose any move of the Western
llnion Telegraph company to con
vert the Beaufort office to an agen
cy operation.
Western Union has asked that
tbe company be allowed to reduce
tjie hours of operation in the Beau
fprt office by 45 minutes a day on
weekdays. The Beaufort office now
operates from 8:15 a.m. to 12 m.
and from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. The
company has asked permission to
^duce those hours to 8:30 a.m.
tp 12 m. and from 1 p.m. to 5:30
p.m.
The telegraph company has in
dicated that incoming messages re
ceived for Beaufort during the re
duced hours of operation would be
handled through the Morehead City
pffice. They would be telephoned
tp subscribers and other persons
^having access to phone services.
DuBois's letter to the FCC says
)}is group believes that the figures
ysed by Western Union in apply
ipg for the reduced hours of opera
tion is a misrepresentation. West
ern Union had based its applica
tion to the FCC on figures show
ing operating expenses as opposed
to revenue during the three months
Ineriod of January, February, and
[March of 1952.
According to the figures for
these months, revenue exceeded
expenses by $57 in January. In
February, expenses were $25 over
pvenue, and in March, expense*
were $5 over revenue.
The Morehead City Chamber of
Commerce letter of protest says
that these figures were taken for
the three months in which fishing
is at a practical standstill.
? The letter goes on to say, "In
view of this obvious misrepresenta
tion we join the town of Beaufort
in protesting any curtailment of
open hours and suggest that the
Commission recommend longer
|6pen hours during the other nine
months."
DuBois's letter also indicates
that his organization wishes to be
notified and to be heard in event
jthat a hearing is called concerning
iny proposal of "Western Union to
convert the Beaufort office to an
[fgency operation.

Munden, George Stovall and Joe
DuBois, manager of the Chamber
of Commerce.
The directors also voted to take
steps to promote Morehead City as
a year-round resort. The directors
agreed that a year-round season
would benefit every individual in
the county. With the hotels at the
beach remaining open for the
winter, the directors decided that
the time is now ripe to promote
such a project.
The advertising committee was
urged to meet and decide upon the
best way to use the funds now
available for such promotion.
Joe DuBois reported on the ac
tion taken to secure the extension
of the Coastal highway to Carteret
county. DuBois said that he has
asked the highway commission to
provide car ferry from Ocracoke to
Cedar Island or Atlantic. He said
that this will provide the final link
in a continuous highway from Vir
ginia to South Carolina.
DuBois reported that George R.
Ross, director of the department of
conservation and development, has
agreed to help promote such a
project. DuBois told the directors
that he has as yet received no re
ply from the highway commission.
The success of the recent Sport
Fishing institute prompted the di
rectors to ask that the department
of conservation and development
employ a specialist on salt water
fishing.
The directors voted to have a
membeiship meeting at 7 p.m. Oct.
23 at the recreation center. At
that time, the members of the

Tracking Rates
May Affect
New State Ports
Raleigh (AP) ? The operation of
the state's new ports at Morehead
City and Wilmington may be af
fected by a differential in inter
state and intrastate trucking rates.
This was pointed out during a
hearing before the advisory budget
commission. Avery Thompson of
Hallsboro, vice chairman of the
state ports authority, asserted to
bacco can be hauled from Green
ville to the Norfolk, Va., port for
30 cents a hundred pounds less
?than it can be transported to More
head City.
Thompson said he was surprised
when he learned this. He added.
4 Morehead City must be at least
50* miles closer to Greenville, too.
That amounts to $3 a thousand
pounds "
SPA Chairman A. G. Myers of
Gastonia said there is a similar
rate difference on cotton hauled
from Gastonia to Norfolk or
Charleston, S. C. The interstate
rates, he added, are 30 cents less
than the intrastate rates to Wil
mington and Morehead City.
The budget commission indicated
the matter was a problem for the
state utilities commission. The
SPA requested funds in its pro
posed budget for the next biennium
to hire a traffic manager to help
deal with the problem.

mountains. The bear had a good
many free meals from campers
who did not hide and secure their
supplies properly.
Larson, on his 12th and final
speech in the Basic Series . for
Toastmasters, called it "Lazy
bones." He pointed out that a
great many so-called lazy people
are actually doing constructive
thinking while they appear to loaf
and that this type of laziness has
helped the progress of man.
Doth, an exchange speaker from
Toastmastrs 29, gave his number
four ipeceh. He titled the speech
"Weather Factories Taxed," and
elaborated on the studies made of

6 and PW Week
Proclaimed '
Morebead City Mayor George W
Dill, jr., has proclaimed the week
of Sept. 28 to Oct. 4 as Businesi
and Professional Women's Clut
Week in Morehead City.
The proclamation follows:
At the request of the Carterel
Business and Professional Women':
club. I take pleasure in proclaim
ing this as Business and Profes
sional Women's Club Week ir
Morehead City.
This national organization, com
posed of some 160,000 members it
2,700 clubs located in every stat)
In the union, including Hawaii
Alaska and Washington. D. C., it
twenty-five years old this week.
These women have as theii
theme, "The Ramparts We Build,'
having in mind all ramparts ?
spiritual, political, military, diplo
matic, cultural and economic.
Formed originally to establist
working conditions of equal op
portunity among men and women
the group haa now swung to tin
support of movements for social
civic and political betterment.
Two Meetings Scheduled
Two home demonstration meet
ings are scheduled for this week
according to Miss Martha Bamett
borne agent. The Core Creek-Hal'
lowe club meets Thursday at 1 :3C
at the home of Mrs M. R. Whitley
Friday the Bettie club meeta ai
7:30 at the borne of Mrs. Dyoi
just as necessary as the bridges
which link sections of road routes
and span the rivers and sounds,"
Gillette stressed. "Federal and state
government's split 50-50 on high
ways. They could and should do
the same for docks at such estab
lished natural harbors as are found
at Atlantic, Sea Level, Bogue In
let and many others.
A number of city managers,
themselves engineers, represent
ing communities from Washington,
N. C., to Kinston, were present and
agreed that small port improve
ment along with inland ports of the
state would pay off in increased
land values, more efficient com
mercial fishing accomodations, rec
reational developments and as feed
er ports to the new deep water ter
minals.
The engineers, many of whom
had not seen the Morehead City
installations including the navy
leased warehouses, were told that
additional warehouses are needed
now and would prove to be profit
abl investments for North Carolina
if ways could b found to finance
them.
Gillette expressed the opinion
that the federal government would
be far more receptive to waterway
improvement projects if the state
itself would undertake to share,
initiate and promote needed devel
opments. He said that wartime ex
perience has taught a bitter and
costly lesson in the need for refuge
harbors on the North Carolina
coast such as Ocracoke's Silver
Lake which was completed after
50 ships, 500 lives and millions in
cargo had been lost for lack of |
proper protective bases on a long
stretch of Atlantic seaboard.
The membership of the Bast
Carolina Engineers club was re
minded that government aod in
dustry is looking more and more
to engineering talent for its exec
utive guidance, administration and
planning. The natural n&oarccs of
the caastlir* ?i? Antra rpasfced
field for development which would
enrich the entire state, their speak
ers insisted.

* Port security cards are
be required for ail seamen (
and waterfront workers, ac- *
cording to Lt. L. E. Kelley, ^
USCG, captain of the port,
Wilmington.
These cards should be obtained
as soon as possible, since water
front workers, as well as seamen,
within a short time, may be denied
permission to work on such facili
ties or to load vessels and perform
other services connected with the
waterfronts, unless they hold a se
curity card.
The ruling, designed to strength
en port security, applies to all per- cl
sons regularly employed on vessels N
or waterfront facilities, and per
sons havipg regular, public or pri- dt
vate business connected with the ?
operation, maintenance or admin
istration of vessels, their cargoes I*

These identification cards, known
as Fort Security Cards, may be ob
tained by completing an applica
tion blank which can be found in
the Morehead City post office
building, room 121, on Thursday,
Oct. 2, and each Thursday after
that. The Coast Guard will have a
man at the post office each Thurs
day to issue the application blanks
and aid in filling them out.
The application blanks should
be filled out as soon as possible
because it takes an average of six- th
ty days after the application blank p<
is completed before a card can be Si

The blanks require the appli- te
cants complete indentification, cit

cussion, a stand will be taken.
Improvements at Park
To Be Completed Soon
Jack Graham, superintendent of
? construction at Fort Macon State
1 park, has announced that the major
1 projects at the park will be com
1 pleted within a few weeks. The
work has been held up by a short
age of labor and materials.
' Living quarters for personnel
> are already finished. The picnic
" shelter is also completed. The bath
" house will be finished within two
1 or three weeks, and the park su
perintendent's new home will be
" completed within five weeks.
1 Graham emphasized that this
- schedule is only tentative. The
? work may be delayed by bad weath
1 er and a shortage of labor.
The living quarters for summer
; personnel are now being used by
construction workers. During the
- summer the building will accomo
" date 12 men. The building con
tains cooking and toilet facilities.
1 The picnic shelter, located on
' the highest point in the park, is
? completed and ready for use by the
1 public.
Work on the bath house was
held up by the recent steel strike.
Galvanized plunging, (teel col
umns and steel fire doors are now
- available and the work is nearing
. completion.
Work has begun on the superin
- tendent's bouse and the footings
) and foundation walls are in place.
Weather permitting, the bouse will

completion. Steel columns and steel
tracks (or sliding doors have not
been available until the present
time. The steel is now on the spot
and the job will be finished short
ly.
Original plans for the park call
ed for several other small projects.
Graham says that work on these
will begin if there la money avail
able after the other work is com
pleted.
Funds for the work on the park
were appropriated in 1B47 and
1949. Since that time, costs of labor
and materials have risen. As a re
sult, the original funds will not be
enough to cover the cost of all the
proposed work.
The park was originally sche
duled to be ready for use during
the past seaaon. When Graham
came here in Hay, there was plen
ty of laber but the construction
materials were not available. The
shortage of material forced Gra
ham to take his crew to other
parks.
In Juie, the material shortage
had been somewhat alleviated. Gra
ham returned here to finish the
work at Fort Macon. By then, how
ever, the fishing season had begun
and there was a labor shortage.
.The labor situation has hampered
the project since that time. Gra
ham aays that he is still in need
of some laborers. He hopes to be
able to find them in order to be
able to finish the work.
