In North Carolina ' Sincc the end of World War II, the number of manufacturing plants in North Carolina has more than doubled, records of the di vision of commerce and industry of the North Carolina department of conservation and development (how. In 1945. according to Paul Kelly, industrial development administra tor for the department, there were 4.029 manufacturing plants in the state; in 1951, there were 8,272 plants, a gain of 4,243 plants. Back in 1943 there were 312.358 persons employed in manufactur ing plants in the state; in 1951 the ^number had grown to 425,000, a fain of 112,642. This is a record Kelly will be able to point to when he appears on the program of the conservation congress in Raleigh, Nov. 17-18-19, when full-scale discussions of the state's human and natural re sources will be held. The congress, sessions of which will be held in the hall of the house of representa tives in the state capitol. is being sponsored by the state department of conservation and development. ,The public is invited to attend. "Industrial development in North Carolina in the past 28 years, 1023-1951. has made rapid and* stead progress." Kelly says. "In W23. the state had 2.670 manufac turing establishments. In 1951, 28 years later, there were 8.272 active plants, representing an increase of > 90 per cent." i And during this 28-year period, Kelly continues, the 187.338 work I ers employed in 1923 had grown to 425.000 by the end of 1951. The percentage increase in the number of industrial workers was 127 per I oent. Even more remarkable from an I economic standpoint is the amount ?f money paid industrial workers in the state. In 1923. industrial payrolls total *127.537.821; in 1951 they had grown to ?2, 03*000.000, ' according to the Blue Book of I Southern Progress for 1952. The 1 Wyroll increase over the 28-year span was 1498 per cent. 1 ' The value of sales of North Carolina manufactured products in MSI totaled $6,181,000,000 in com parison to the 1923 value of prod uct! amounting to ?S51,giO,3?. children who are being studied for adoption. The other is composed of children who are deprived of being in their own homes for some reason and are in need. Carteret county needs boarding homes to care for children who are neglected or deserted while plans are made for permanent living ar rangements. Boarding homes are used also to care for children with behavior problems so that they may become better adjusted. Chil dren with special physical or men tal handicaps are given the indi visualized attention needed. Carteret county at this time has no such homes for children. Ac cording to Miss Hughes, the county welfare department has placed, at this time, one child in an unli Pelletier Youth j Fatally Injured Alton Brion Waters, 17, Pelle tier, died in the Naval hospital at Camp Lejeune Thursday evening of injuries sustained in an automobile accident earlier that evening on the marine reservation.

Randolph Mason suffered a broken collarbone. His wife Janice, sustained back injuries; and their four-year-old daughter, Paula, suf fered cuts and bruises on. her face. Joseph Van Mason was treated for broken ribs. The four are in the Morehead City hospital. According to Highway Patrolman W. J. Smith, the car was proceed ing east on highway 70 at an esti mated speed of 60 miles per hour. When the car reached a section un der construction, it hit the shoul der, skidded 450 feet and turned over in a pasture. Randolph Mason, the alleged driver of the car. has been charged with reckless driving and driving without a license. Joseph Mason at first told the highway patrol that he had been driving the car, but Randolph Mason later admitted that he was the driver. DriverJailed J For Hitting Child Clyde Jones, Crab Point Negro, was arrested by Morehead City po lice Sunday afternoon after he al legedly ran over a four year-old girl on Avery street, Morehead City.

The police chief says that motor ists have been warned repeatedly concerning this regulation but that violations continue. The warnings, he says, will stop, and the motor ists arrested. censed home and two children in licensed homes outside of the county ^ There are several reasons why Carteret county has no such homes at this time. For .one thing, workers of the county . welfare department have not fodnd time to go out looking for homes that would meet this need. Still another reason for the lack of such facilities in this county is that homes which would meet the standards demanded by the welfare lepartment are not easy to find. Payment to such homes is not set up in order that it can be a money making proposition for any family. The payment for boarding homes is designed to care for the children placed in that home. A third reason is that the per sons opening their homes as board ing homes must be classified by welfare workers as homes in which there will be a great deal of sym pathy and understanding for the See WELFARE, Page 5 Kinston Men <1 Save Boatman Capt. Charlie Smith, owner of the party boat Mike and Jeff, was saved from downing Saturday night when three Kinston men pulled him from the water at the foot of 8th street, Morehead City.

Atlantic Beach > Commissioners Consider Change December Meeling lo Decide On Operation of Town As Regular Municipaliiy The town board of Atlantic Beach will be asked at its Decern , ber meeting to consider operation as a regular municipality, accord ing to Mayor Alfred B. Cooper. At the present time, most of the usual functions of a town are performed by members of the Atlantic Beach businessmen's association. A proposed budget and sourcc of revenue will be presented to the board when it meets Dec. 16 at the home of Commissioner Bert Taylor in New Bern. The budget has been drawn up with the aid of George Franklin, attorney for the North Carolina league of munici palities. The beach community re cently joined the league. Under the proposed plans, the town government will be controlled by a city manager working under the jurisdiction of the board of commissioners. Cooper hopes that the businessmen will supplement the manager's salary by making him secretary of the proposed chamber of commerce. Opinions Divided Some members of the board wish to operate the town on taxes col lected from the property owners. This will enable the town govern ment to take over the functions now performed by the business men. Others, according to Cooper, would like to continue with the present arrangement. Since the town was incorporated in 1937, the toWn government has never performed any of the func tions connected with 'the adminis tration of the town. The one ex ception was the construction of several streets in 1938. This was financed by an assessment on the property owners.

Bitter protests against rezoning< of the 1600 block on Arendell street in Morehead City were made at a public hearing held by the board of town commissioners in Morehead City Thursday night. The board of commissioners has been asked by the L. L. Leary estate and the Chalk and Gibbs real estate agency, on behalf of a pros pective buyer for the property, to rezone that area from a residential to a business district. The public hearing was called after the request for rezoning was denied by the board of adjustment. The request was then taken direct ly to the town commissioners and ? public hearing was called in order that protests, as well as comments for, the rezoning could be ma^e. Objectors Heard Several interested persons ap peared at the hearing to ask that the area be left a residential area. Most of the appeals were based on the belief that property values of residential lots would fall dras tically if the area were rezoned for business. Appearing at the hearing Thurs day night was a Leary heir, Ber nard Leary. He told the persons at the hearing that he was there to make clear that he and his inter ests had no idea of pushing any- 1 thing over, that he wanted his neighbors to understand that he wanted to hear their feelings on the matter and that whether the asked-for action was desirable was up to them and the board to de cide. W. B. Chalk, handling the sale of the Leary property, appeared on behalf of a client interested in buy ing the property but only for busi ness purposes. He told the commis ! sioners and others at the hearing that his client wants the west one half of block 28, rezoned for busi ness. Lot number 8 and lots on Bridges st. are already zoned for business. The groups asking for rczoping want the west half of lots three, four, five, six, and seven in block 28 rezoned for business. D. G. Boll, acting as mayor pro tem in the absence of Mayor George Dill, asked Chalk what the ureas . ere 'Site' us e<f for. Chalk told him that they were See ZONING, Page 2 Beaufort Adopts New Tax Forms Upon the suggestion of Henry Lewis, tax counselor at the Uni versity of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, new tax abstract forms have been adopted for 1953 for the town of Beaufort. The forms are adaptations of the modern system which County Au ditor James D. Potior installed for Carteret county and have been worked out by Lewis and Mrs. Mabel Cunningham, secretary in the office of the town clerk of Beaufort. According to Town Clerk Dan Walker, considerable saving in printing costs, labor and time, will be effected by use of the new forms. In the past, Walker says, it has been necessary to completely copy three books of tax abstracts each year. The new forms will make it possible for four years records to be kept in three books, thereby eliminating a great deal of the storage space now required.
