' Gilltilc bp Law Salary
Kaaps Pad Jab DnfilM
Low salary has been given M the
reason why the State Ports author
ity is unable to hire a traffic man
ager for the Morehead City and
Wilmington ports.
Col. George W. Gillette, porta
Executive director, says the 16,900
I Mate salary is insufficient.
He reports that good traffic men
ri othar ports draw a minimum o (
10,000 a year.
f\ Several men have been inter

the new Bible on a single word in'
the Book of Isaiah. In the new ver
sion, the word is translated as
"young woman." In the King James
version, it was translated aa "vir
gin." According to Mr. Hux, this
change in translation repudiates
the concept of virgin birth, a con
cept which is fundamental in most
Christian churches.
Furor over Nothing
Local ministers, in general, be
lieve that Mr. Hux is creating a
furor over nothing. The consen
sus among them is that the new
Bible, based on years of research,
is a much more accurate transla
tion than any previous version.
The strongest denunciation of
the Rocky Mount pastor's action
came from the Rev. C. R. Berry
of the First Christian church of
Morehead City. Mr. Berry said,
"It's a bunch of fanaticism. There
should be some law against burning
a Bible. The objection U ground
less anyway. The revised New
Testament, which has been in use
since 1948, refers to the concept of
virgin birth. I'm using the new
Bible all the time."
The Rev. Priestley Conyers,
III, pastor of Webb Memorial Pres
byterian church, Morehead City,
believes that the only real issue
is the accuracy of the new Bible.
Mr. Conyers said, "The main is
sue here centers around the ques
tion of what is the word of God. Mr.
Hux is defending the King James

State Students j
Get Reprimands
Two Carteret county students at
State college have been reprimand
ed for their action while .serving as
delegates to the state student legis
lature.
Giles Willis of Gloucester and
Donald E. Dark, together with
Howard A. Wells of Winston
Salem, engineered a bill aimed at
removing John W. and David Clark
from the board of trustees of the
Consolidated University of North
Carolina.
The college's campus govern
ment council said that the trio had
acted irresponsibly and embarrass
ed the college, its students and its
administration.
The Clarks are leaders in the
state's textile industry and have
been the center of many storms in
volving university policy.
When word of the impending bill
was printed in the campus news
paper. college officials let it be
known they opposed the bill. The
State college delegation to the stu
dent assembly then adopted a sub
stitute measure that made no men
tion of the Clarks.
The bill was passed by the stu
dent legislature. It would put a
limitation on the length of time a
trustee could serve, plus an age
limit. The bills passed by the stu
dent legislature have no force ex
cept i as an expression of student
opinion.
