THREE ACTIONS TWENTY-TWO PAGES * MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1952 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS Proposed Phone Rate Rise Opposed by Beaufort C of C Buck Held For Superior Court Judge Orders No Bond In Case of Man Charged With Daughter's Rape Winfield Buck, Newport, remains in the county jail without bond on a charge of raping his 12-year old daughter. A preliminary hearing in the Carteret county recorders court last Tuesday prcduced sordid testi mony which led Judge Lambert Morris to find probable cause and order that Buck be held for the ?ext term of superior court. ? Testimony at the hearing came from the l2-year-old daughter, a sixth grader at Newport school. Dr. Wilton B. Morey, physician who examined the child, and Deputy Sheriff M. M. Ayscue. The 12-year-old child, weeping throughout her testimony, had to be persuaded by counsel Alvah Hamilton, county attorney, to tell her story. According to the child's testi 'niony, she and her 11-year-old sis ter were alone at their home near Newport on the afternoon of Oct. 18. Her mother had taken the Other five children to Newport to kave their hair cut. The father, a fisherman, had gone to Morehead City by boat earlier in the day. The physically immature child told the court that her father re turned late in the afternoon, wear ing wet clothing after having (alien overboard. The 12-year-old told how he called her and her sis ter into a bedroom where he was removing his clothes. According to the child's testi mony. the sister picked up the wet clothing and left the room. Her lather tried to get his oldest daughter to remove her clothes wnd get on the bed with him. When she refused, she said, he forced her to get on the bed with him where ?he took her clothes off. The little girl recoapted the de tails of the alleged ravishing and (bid the court that the act was in terrupted when a car containing her mother and an uncle drove up. jer father told her to dress and to keep her d--- mouth shut. The child then, according to her testimony, told her mother what had happened and was rushed to the Morehead City hospital where ?*e was examined by Dr. Morey. ' Dr. Morey testified that on the flight of the crime, an examination pf the girl's lower extremities in dicated that there were no signs of bruises, lacerations, or contusions. He said, however, that there were praall signs of blood on her pan ties. He told the court that an , examination made five days later Ihowed bruises on the girl's breast. The doctor said that, in his opin ion, based on what the child told him. there was probably a penetra tion but added that there was no evidence of bruises to indicate that there was a forcible entrance.

Goodbye' Said to Beaufort Rotary Beaufort Rotarians heard a fare well talk by the Rev. Theodore Tenkins at their meeting in the nlet inn Tuesday night. The minister, who has served as >astor of the Ann Street Methodist church in Beaufort for the past ive years, told the group: "It has >een a real pleasure to have been issociated with you ? the town, lie church, and the Rotary club^ It is with the deepest regret, he ?ontinued, that we have to leave vou. "We always hate to pull up ind leave friends." We've been 'lere so long we feel like we're 'eaving kinship." The Rev. Jen <ins said their daughter had prac ically grown up in Beaufort. "She was 10 years old when we came," he added, "now she's IS." The speaker said the town '.hey're going to, (Burlington), rom what he hears, is a mighty ine town, a friendly town, and a apidly growing one, having a pop ulation that has doubled in the pa?t 10 years. His church there, he added, is a comparatively new one. having been completed a little over a year ago. It employs ?even paid workers, including the pastor and the Janitor. The church or ganization. continued the Rev. Jen kins. is an old one, and wu estab lished in 1892. Speaker Jenkins said the charge included a beautiful parsonage "The impression I have of the place," he continued, "is very, very favorable." The school was de scribed as beautiful, with an audi 'orium capable of seating 2500 per sona, and a lunch room that looks (ike that of a city school. This matter of a regular job. and where we will live next, said speaker Jenkins, is really quite a problem. Just about the time you really get to know and like a com munity. you have to pull up and leave. "On the other hand," he *dded. "suppoae we never moved ? If not we wouldn't have met you." "It is a pleasure to have been a part of your community," he concluded, "Please remember us and come to see us." Dr. W. L. Woodard was sched uled to present Tuesday's program, but relinquished the floor to the Rot. Jenkins. Guests at the meet lag Included Grady Rich and Tom Lewta, both of the Monhwd City _I! - The board of directors of the Beaufort Chamber of Commerce, on behalf of its membership, has gone on record as endorsing and becoming a party to the opposition to the rate increase proposed by the Carolina Telephone and Tele graph company. The action of the board was taken at the Tuesday night meet ing held in the Beaufort town hall. In taking this stand the Cham ber of Commerce is joining the Chamber of Commerce groups in the towns of Wilson, Washington. Greenville. Kinston, New Bern. Farmville, Fayetteville, and Eliza bethtown. Reverts from Wilson indicate that the Chamber of Commerce or ganizations in Ahoskie. Morehead City. Pi^etor , Roanoke Rapids, and Whiteville wfl probably join this movement. The decision to oppose th?* rate ircrea^e fme after fhe board mem bers had heard, at a special ses- 1 sion sonvi time ago, representa- j tives of the Carolina Telephone ] and Telegraph company ^xnlain why the rate increase had been ! asked. In addition to goinr* on record ^s ooQosed to the r??te increase, ".he | board stipulated that active finan- j rial support would be considered after the extent of the financial needs of the committee working on the protest were known. Howard Reports Bob Howard, manager of the White Ice Cream company, ap peared to tell the members of the board that his company this year had purchased some $55,000 worth of milk in this county. He at tributed this increase (in 1949 his company bought locally in the county only $10,800 worth of milk annually) largely to the efforts of Carteret County Agent R. M. Wil liams whose additional conbentra tion on animal husbandry was made possible by the advocation of the Beaufort Chamber of Com merce that an assistant county agent to work in this field be add ed to the county agent's office. Howard told the group thai the See PHONE, /age 7 Drive Opens For Little Symphony The Little Symphony group will officially open their drive for funds on Monday, Nov. 3. Glenn Adair, president of the local group, says that business houses as well as individuals will be contacted. The goal for this year is set j at $1200. Although this is higher ! than in previous years, the group hopes, by raising this amount, to j be able to present two, rather than j one, children's concerts this year. According to Adair, there are several types of membership which I can be held in the Symphony So- j ciety. Individuals may purchase a geneial membership in the group for two dollars. Business houses can be donor members for $25 or patron members for $100. Either the $25 or $100 membership will entitle the member to a listing in the tour booklet circulated wherever the symphony goes on tour. An active membership of $5 will entitle the holder to a vote in the Symphony Society. Private contributions raised by these drives finance the North Carolina Symphony, sponsored by the North Carolina Symphony So ciety, inc. If sufficient funds are not raised to finance the syifi phony, the state will subsidiz the group. The Little Symphony is a group of musicians from the North Caro lina Symphony available to towns and cities which are unable to af ford payment for the full sym phony. Adair will ask members of the Junior Woman's clubs in Beaufort and Morehead City to aid in the solicitation of funds. He says that members of the clubs may acquire point* in the point system of their groups by aiding in this drive. Music levers from this area will be interested in noting that Ed ward B. Benjamin of Greensboro, is offering a one-thousand dollar prize for an orchestral composition which he specifies must have a definite effect. It must be restful. The use of either a piano or a chorus is forbidden. The piece is not to exceed 10 minutes in length. The winning work will be performed at least once during the 1954 season by the North Carolina Symphony, di rected by Dr. Benjamin F. Swalin. School Has Program Harry Foster Welch, the original "Popeye" voice, appeared at the Queen Street high school Oct 29 at 0*0 a.m. Parent! were invited Board Refuses Rezoning Request In Morehead City The requested rezoning in the 1600 block on Arendell st. in More head City refused by the More head City board of town commis sioners at a meeting Tuesday after noon. The turn-down came on the heels of 3 public hearing last week called to permit protestants to state their case. At that time, several interest ed persons appeared before the board to object to the proposed re zoning. The members of the board, it ihc Tuesday afternoon meeting, in dicated that they were against spot zoning. Mayor George Dill told the group that if this proposal was granted, there was a possibility of other persons asking for the same thin?. Bo??rd nember D. G. Bell sug gested that the town reeded some zonin?; done but indicated that he believed the work should be done by experts. If any zoning is to be done, it should be done. he said, by someone capable of seeing whether it is good or not. Board member Dr. John Morris reported that he felt the granting of the request at this time would set a dangerous precedent and should not be done. j A planning board is needed for 'this kind of work, according to the j feeling of board member W. L. Derrickson. The motion for refusal of the re ["quest for rezoning was made by commissioner M. T. Mills. The mo tion also included a suggestion that in view of the need for some re zoning the board should make funds available for a survey by the I League of Municipalities. Welfare Board Asks Legislation The Carteret county welfare board asked state representative Earl Mobley Wednesday night to aid In passing legislation during the next legislature which the wel fare board believes needed. The proposed social legislation, supported by the county as well as the state welfare office, is con cerned with five different prob lems. Discussed at the Wednesday night meeting was the need for at tendance officers in this county, need for minimum wage standards, the problem of the guardianship of children, the raising of the juve nile court age to 17, and minimum standards of housing. Mobley agreed with the board members that legislation on each of the points might be desirable but pointed out that minimum wage standards and minimum standards of housing were eco nomic problems, as well as- social problems. The members of the board agreed. Mobley, did, how ever, promise to support legisla tion on the other three points. Miss Georgie Hughes, county welfare superintendent, reported to the ? board members that new furniture for the welfare office had been purchased and installed and that an asphalt floor covering had been put down during the month. She also reported that l^er of fice had reported the violation of child labor laws in this county to the state Labor Bureau and that a representative from that office I would be in this area soon. The coiinty welfare staff will at tend the 33rd annual public wel fare institute in Raleigh on Nov. 12 through 14. Board members were urged to attend. I The meeting was held in the newly-painted offices of the county welfare department in the court house annex. A social hour followed the board meeting. In attendance at the Wednesday night meeting were County Attor ney Alvah Hamilton; Alfonso James judge of the juveuile court; Mrs. T. T. Potter, chairman of the welfare board, Beaufort; Cecil Morris, Atlantic, member of the boar J; and Stanley Woodland, Morehead City board member.

This announcement was made today by L. A. Daniels, local telephone company manager.

In can more trans Some 6500 to 7000 Carteret county voters are expected to flock to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 4 to cast ballots for their choice of a party to lead them for the next four years. At least that's the prediction of F. R. Seeley, chairman of the county board of elections. Seeley says that he be lieves this number of voters will go to the polls this year Search Stopped For Lost Body Coast Guard Ordered To Quit Dragging for Electrocution Victim The body of Seth S. Arthur, Greenville, a former Morehead City newspaperman who was killed in stantly Monday night when his 22 foot sailboat drifted against a high tension line near the Atlantic Beach bridge, had still not been recovered as the NEWS-TIMKS went to press. The Fort Macon Coast Guard sta tion reported that they had re ceived orders to discontinue search- 1 ing for the body if it had not been recovered by Wednesday after noon. They were also ordered not to resume dragging operations un less further notified. The tragedy occurred when Ar thur, holding both the anchor chain and a guy wire when the steel rigged mast hit the power line, was knocked into the water by the shock of the 13,800-volt current which passed through his body. Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Barton of Morehead City, who were crossing the btidge at the time, notified ihe bridge terder who called the Fort Macon Coast Guard station. A boat from the station began dragging operations which were suspended at 8 p.m. that night but resumed the next morning. With Arthur at the time of the accident was his wife, Verna. Men fishing in nearby boats took Mrs. Arthur to ' inward at e was thcn taken to bar sjwfcfner home on Radio island whtre she was placed under the car^of a physician. Arthur putthased the boat, the Ace of Spades, from Thurlow Whealton about two years ago. Whealton says that the mast of the Marconi-rigged sailboat rises about 30 feet above the water. Arthur was an organ salesman and repairman. His territory cov ered North Carolina and parts of South Carolina and Virginia. He and his wife made their home in Greenville. Arthur was a former editor of the Coaster, Morehead City news paper. He worked with that publi cation sometime before World War II. A similar accident occurred here some 23 years ago. In June, 1029, Jaspeh Hoel and H. L. Joyner, Greenville, fishing near the At lantic Beach bridge were electro cuted when a fishing line caught on a live wire. They pushed the boat up to the bridge, one of them took hold of the wire and was shocked into unconsciousness. The other man attempted to get pried loose and was also electrocuted. A third man in the skiff pushed it away and the two men fell over board. The Coasf Guard searched for the bodies of the two men. Hoel's body was found near the bridge the next day, and Joyner's was found the following Monday near the Morehead Villa, now the Bogue Sound club. Rotary Sponsors School Project The Newport Rotary club will sponsor the moving of the school lunchroom to a site on the school j grounds north of the gymnasium. The decision to sponsor the mov ing of the lunchroom was made at ! the meeting of the club Monday ; night at which C. S. Long, presi- 1 dent, presided. Members of the club suggested that financial assistance in this j undertaking from other local civic clubs and frem the county boar! of education would be appreciated. | The old lunchroom will continue ? to b? used by the school during construction of the new rooms. Coy Wallace, Rotary youth com mittee chairman, presented a pro gram on the objectives, organiza tion and functions of the local Boy Scouts, sponsored by the Newport club. Alfred (Tom) Garner was appointed scoutmaster of the local troop. David Murray was a visiting Ro tarian from the More bead City club. J* ta^TSi^T.,,/ >and if they do, it will be the largest number of voters to go to the polls in the history of the eounty. The largest number of voters ever go ing to the pells in this county up to this year is 5500. Seeley bases his prediction on the great interest shown by county residents in their voting status and by the great number of requests for absentee ballots, lie ~>ays ihat the total number of absentee bal lots issued up until Wednesday afternoon of this week is 163. And, he reports, requests for the absen tee ballets are still coming in at the rate of 40 to 50 a day. He be lieves that a total of 700 absentee ballots, including both those sent to servicemen and civilian .oters, will have been issued by election ?Jty. Voters Inquire He reports also that his offico is beseiged with inquiries from per sons wanting to know if they are eligible ,o vote. Seeley soys there are some 12, 000 names carried oh the registra tion books of the county and he believes that there are some 11,000 of those now in the county and eligible to vote. The county elec tions chairman points out that a number of persons still carried on the books have moved away from the county or for other reasons arc not eligible to vote but his office has no way of knowing about such persons. If the 7000 persons forecast do go to the polls, it will represent an unprecedented percentage of Carteret county voters who have gone to cast their ballot on any one election day. The 7000 would represent some 68 to 70 per cent of those registered to vote. Seeley indicates that he is hope ful and it would be desirable if at least 75 per cent of eligible voters would go to the polls. Record Registration Seeley'** prediction is backed up by the fact that a record number of new registrants are now carried on the books as a result of the last three registration periods. Citi zens were eligible to register any time during the last three weeks but registration days had been designated for the last three Sat urdays. Some 873 persons registered in this county during this period. His forecast is also backed up by the fact that the state board of elections caught fire and wrote to the county elections boards in dicating that it was quite possible, in the face of the heavy registra tion throughout the state, that county boards would run short of tickets on election day. Seeley says that in the case of Carteret See RECORD VOTE, Page 7 Four Will Speak On Conservation Four men from this area will participate in the Conservation Congress held in the hall of the House of Representatives of the state capitol in Raleigh on Nov. 17 through 19.
