Absentee Ballots
Some 225 absentee ballots have
been mailed from Carteret county
to men and women in the service,
according to County Election Board
chairman, F. R. Seeley.
Carteret county has a total of
about 700 men and women in the
armed forces. Each of these men
and women, or their relatives, and
in some instances, both, have re
ceived blanks to be filled out ask
ing for absentee ballots for the per
son in service. The blanks were
mailed from Seeley's office.
The deadline for applications for
absentee ballots for persons serv
ing in the armed forces is the day
before election. However, Seeley
indicates that it takes some ten
days to process the application and
forward a ballot, so applications
should be in as soon as possible.
Civilian requests for absentee
ballots were taken from Oct. 1 and
will be issued until Nov. 1. Under
state law, no absentee ballots can
be sent out after that time. How
ever, Seeley points out that his of
fice is lenient with cases of fisher
men or other workers who find it
necessary, at short notice, to be
?twent from the county on eioAiQQ
day. Ballots may be issued after
the legal closing period if just
cause can be shown why the ballot
should be issued.

Measles Strike ,
Hard in County
County Health Officer Dr. N.
Thos. Ennctt reports that there are
more measles this fall than usual
with the largest number of cases
centering on Harkers Island.
The health department has on
hand a supply of immune globulin
which is available without 6ost to
all physicians. Immune globulin,
depending upon the amount inject
ed, will prevent measles or permit
the child to have only a mild case.
' A dose large enough to prevent
measles gives protection for a per
iod of several weeks only, while if
the child is allowed to have a mild
case, he usually gets permanent
immunity.
The health department at its
regular vaccination clinics, held
Tuesday afternoons and Saturday
mornings, will, upon the the re
quest of the family doctor, vacci
nate the child with immune globu
lin.
The health officer commented
that Carteret county had been re
markably free from measles epi
demics in recent years. He also
commented that it seemed to be
the nature of the disease to appear
in epidemic form in cycles of three
to four years.
October 31 Is Deadline J
For 1952 ACP Program
The period for carrying out soil
building practices under the 1952
Agriculture Conservation Program
ends Oct. SI, 1952, according to
B. J. May. production and market
ing administrator in Carteret coun
ty
May says that Friday. Oct. 17 is
the date on which the issuance of
approvals and purchase orders for
conservation materials ends. This
means that there will be no prac
tices approved under the 1952 ACP
program after the close of busineas
on Friday, Oct 17. It also means
that any approved practices under
the 1952 program, whether they
involve the use of conservation ma
terials or other type practices must
be completed by Oct. 31, or the ap
proval will be cancelled.
The PMA administrator reports
that the 1952 program is a new type
program and farmers obtaining
conservation materials for use un
der the 1052 program should make
?very effort to use this material
and report it before Oct. 31.
Farmers holding purchase orders
for conservation materiala to be
used under the 1952 program will
have to obtain this material prior I
to Oct 31 or the purchase order i
will be void after that date. Farm
ers requesting assistance under the
1953 program, if they have not al- |
ready done ao. should check now
at the county PMA office in the
Post Office building to determine i
if they have used aU available 1952 i
money allotted to their farm. This I
applies to farmers who have al
ready obtained assistance aa well I
as those who have not.
May says that even though com
mitteemen contacted farmers some i
time ago and listed aaaistanea de- i
ilrsd under the program. aU prac- I
licas requested at that time may i
not h?ve been approved. ACP
money allotted to the county for
use in this connection was not suf
ficient to care for all requests from
the 500 farmers asking this assist
ance.
However, May reports that there
is still a small amount of money
from the 1953 fund available for
use by farmers in this county, pro
vided it is requested and approved
by the closing date, Oct. 17. ,
Vendors furnishing conservation
materials on purchase orders have
been notified that they may not ac
cept any purchase orders for ma
terials to be used under the 1952
program after Oct. 31. They have
also been requeited to submit all
purchase orders filled and in their
possession to the county PMA of
fice within five days after the clos
ing date. May says it is doubtful
if vendors failing to comply with
this request will be paid purchase
orders submitted after that date.
Farmers are requested to co
operate with the county office and
with the vendors in presenting
their purchase orders immediately
upon receipt to the vendor and
then using the material as quickly
as possible after it has been de
livered.
May says that in the past, ap
proved ditching practices have
been carried through December.
This year that cannot be done. Any
ipproved farm ditch or tile drain
age practice must be completed by
Oct. 31, and reported, or the ap
proval will be cancelled. It cannot
be transferred to the 1853 program
Questions concerning these rul
ings should be referred to the
county PMA office. It is open from
J:flO a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday
through Friday. The office is
rlosed on Saturdays.

In carying out Ruler Stern's re
quest, Eldon Nelson, exalted ruler
of the Beaufort and Morehead City
lodge, said: "The publishers, edi
tors, editorial representatives,
members of the sports staff, mech
anical department personnel, and
representatives of the press associa
tions should be highly honored
for their untiring efforts to give us
the facts.
"Suppose we lived in a country
where the truth was kept from the
public, a country where the rulers
controlled the press. Instead of the
facts, we'd get lies and excuses.
It would not be long before we
would feel as if we were in a hope
less situation, with gloom and mis
ery all around us.
"Let's all stop for a minute and
think what the freedom of the press
means to 'me' personally, and then
let's thank God that the freedom of
the press is a part of the first
amendment to the United States
constitution. It states: Congress
shall make no law respecting estab
lishment of religion or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof, or abridg
ing the freedom of speech or of
the press, or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to pe
tetion the government for a re
dress pf grievances.
"And may God help us and keep
us steadfast in keeping these rights
and our country from ever being
overcome by our enemies," Nelson
concluded.

The town of Beaufort and the Beaufort Chamber of
Commerce have filed an official answer to the petition of
the Western Union Telegraph Company to the Federal
Communications Commission asking to reduce the open
hours of the Western Union office in Beaufort.
Each of the points listed in the Western Union petition
uaa ut-i-n c?iit'Kui ivniiy aumuieu or'
denied by the town of Beaufort and
the Chamber of Commerce.
In its petition to the FCC, West
ern Union alleges that there will
be no additional charge to the pub
lic on messages delivered by tele
phone to Beaufort during the
period proposed for reduction as
telephone service is available on a
local exchange basis.
The answer of Beaufort and the
Chamber of Commerce states that
an increase would be charged in
telephone rates on telegraph mes
sages telephoned to points east of
Beaufort. In addition, residents of
Beaufort, not having access to tele
phone service would not be serv
iced by bicycle messenger, as is
now the case.
Population Figures Disputed
In asking for reduced hours, the
Western Union company claims
that the population of Beaufort is
3212, according to the preliminary
count of the 1950 census.
The denial says thht the prelim
inary census count includes only '
corporate limits as established in
1816 and does not cover the heavi
ly populated environs; nor are the <
important areas of East Carteret 1
county included in this count, al
though they are serviced by the
Beaufort office. Additionally the
petition states, two agencies in this (
area are also served by the Beau
fort office.
The Western Union petition also ?
alleges that no carrier other than ,
the applicant provides telegraph
service. It further states that tele
i phone service is available through
the facilities of the Carolina Tele
phone and Telegraph company.
The denial says that limited
telephone communications are all
which are available, that a large
number of ten-party lines are in
service in the area served by the
Beaufort office. It also points out
th?t. the ,*?*>idly expanding area
due te. Ai Service installations
and pemonnel in this area, and the
newly developed areas that have
inadequate telephone service, make
this statement erroneous.
The telegraph company further
claims that the low volume of

Paul Addresses /
Beaufort Rotary
Automobile dealer Halsey Paul
told the Beaufort Rotary club
Tuesday night that more than half
of the employed persons in the
United States use passenger cars
in earning a living.
Paul said that 59 million Ameri
can adults use passenger cars
daily, with the typical auto travel
ing 9,340 miles per year. Accord
ing to the Beaufort auto dealer, 68
per cent of all winter driving is
classified as "necessity use."
There are 16 million "old" cars
operating in the U. S. today, with
9,000.000 of these more than 12
years old. The average farm car
today has more than 48.000 miles
on its speedometer, as compared
with 41,000 in metropolitan areas.
The speaker stated that 20 per
cent of all retail sales in the U. S.
are automotive. "The auto is now
as essential to the work of the
American people," he added, "as
are any of the tools of industry."
Numa Eure reminded the club
that next week is the period set
for a nation-wide fund drive for
the Boy Scouts of America. "I
think it would be nice for all mem

Registration
For Voting
Begins Oct. 11
Registration of voters wilfc begin
Oct. 11 and extend through Oct. 25,
according to F. R. Seeley, chair
man of the Carteret county board
of elections.
After Oct. 25, Seeley says, no
registrations may be made. He
points out that voters registered
in previous county elections need
not register again. However, new
residents are warned that in voting
in tr>wn elections in Morehead City
and Beaufort, they may not be
registered in the county registra
tion books.
Citizens of the U. S. who have
resided in North Carolina for one
year prior to Nov. 4, in Carteret
county for four months prior to
Nov. 4 and in the voting precinct
for three months prior to Nov. 4
and who will be 21 years of age or
older Nov. 4 are subject to registra
tion, according to Seeley.
The educational requirement,
according to the election board
chairman, is that a person must
be able to. read and write (other
than just signing his name) with
understanding.
Registration will be at the poll
ing places for the various precincts
mi Oct. 11, 18, and 25. Registrars,
however, are authorized to take
registrations at any time during the
registration period. During the
three days, the 11th, 18th, and 25th,
the polling places will be open
from 9 a.m. ifntfl sundown.
Election officials, according to
Seeley, are anxious that every new
comer register and vote. He says
that the large increase in popula
ion in the past six years in Car
eret county should be reflected by
i greatly increased vote.

Robert Laughton, president of
the Carteret county farm bureau,
and Fioyd Garner, county member
ship chairman, have extended the
bureau's membership drive for one
vcek.
The drive has been extended in

tained only threes ourths of its
goal of 400 members.
