fW CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES i? I 42nd YEAR, NO. 32. TWO SECTIONS TWELVE PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT. NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1953 PUBLISHED TUESDAY AND KRID ?Newport Housing Project Construction Has Started After more than four years of"< waiting, the veterans housing proj ect in Newport is finally underway and work has begun on the first home to be constructed in the project. The housing project, located on the Nine-Foot road, is sponsored by the Cherry Point Veterans Mutual Housing association, an organiza tion of veterans and non-veterans The Barrus Construction com pany of Kinston began work two weeks ago on paving the streets in the sub-division and the work is scheduled to be completed this ; week. Eugene Williams of Havelock was the first person to begin con struction of a home in the project. He began work when the paving started and is doing the building himself. Wilton and Morton. Newport con tractors, have started work on the I home of Guy Thomas of Havelock, first of the houses to be built un der FHA mortgage insurance. The major delay in construction of houses in the project was caused by FHA requirements for mortgage insurance. The FHA required that streets in the project be paved and that a water system be installed. The Newport water system was finally completed this spring and the FHA gave its approval to the mortgage insurance. This approval means that it is possible to get both the mortgage insurance and VA direct home loans. The housing cooperative was first organized at a meeting Feb. 11, 1949. The site for the project was purchased in June of that year and members of the association be gan selling lots. The association originally hoped j to begin construction in the sum- ; mer of 1950 and again in 1951, but the FHA requirements began to de lay them. Although many people j believed that the project would never be completed, the veterans went ahead. They asked the town for assist ance in the matter of a water sys tem and the town agreed to con struct one. A contract was award ed in April 1951 for construction qI 1 the tank and work was begun. De lays, including damage to the tank in a wind storm, prevented the completion of the tank until this spring. While the town was struggling to get the water system finished, the veterans increased their efforts to get the streets graded and paved. The area was taken into the town limits in November 1951, and Ke town assisted the veterans with e paving problem. Finally last fall, the town and the veterans negotiated contracts with the Barrus company to pave the streets in the project and the approaches to them. Grading be gan last fall, but the work was de layed by the heavy rains in Jan uary and February. When the weather finally cleared, the con struction company went ahead and completed the job. The town is now negotiating with the Carolina Power and Light com pany for extension of power service to the project. Once electricity is available, the first residents of the project hope to complete their homes and move in. At the present there are 90 prop erty owners in the project with 22 lots remaining to be sold. The pro ceeds from the sale of these lot* will be used for further develop ments and beautificatioo in the project. Eubanks Opposes Lewis for Mayor Roy Eubanks.

Bill Would Allow Track Elections The Senate of the General As sembly passed a bill Friday which would allow Morehead City and Currituck county to. hold an elec tion on the dog tracks.

A referen dum could be held upon petition of 15 per cent of the registered voters. Elections on the question could not be held closer together than three years. Earlier last week the Senate Propositions and Grievances com mittee killed a bill which would have abolished pari-mutuel gam bling all over the state.

This year's budget called for $9,495 of I which only $8,294.93 was collected from memberships. "The chamber directly or indi rectly benefits every business and professional man in Morehead City," Mr. DuBois said. "It must have your support financially ami your interest and service if it is to be a success." It was pointed out that in 1946 the Morehead chamber raised $19,000 to carry on its activities for the year. During the meeting Thursday night, special pledges were taken from the members present. Grover Munden, president of the group, presided over the meeting. Mayor George W. Dill of Morehead City introduced the speaker. He described Mr. McCullers as "Mr. Chamber of Commerce in Eastern North Carolina." "The Chamber of Commerce movement grew out of the desire of New York business men to pro mote their port."

"Morehead City has come a long way," he continued, "and men thinking and serving together can continue to the story of develop ment and progress here."

"We must have economy every where." M*"- McCullers also point ed out the importance of doing more for servicemen in this area. "Every one who comes here is a walking advertisement for the area.

Seek Supervisor During the coming season the | business men plan to work with the Atlantic Beach town commis sion in providing police protection, garbage collection, street lights, lifeguards and other city services. The principal innovation for the coming season, if the proposal is adopted by the town board, will be the addition of a supervisor for the beach who will be in charge of the policemen and other beach employees. This supervisor will be largely paid by the assessments made to business men. Victor Wickizer. chairman of the assessment committee, pointed out that the assessments this year were greater than in the past due to the addition of the supervisor and gar bage collection for the garbage in the business area. The assessments ranged from $450 for the hotels to $100 for smaller businesses on the beach. Most of the assessments were paid at the meeting Sunday. Mr. Cooper, who is mayor of the '.own, will present the business men's proposals to the town board on May 1. The parkin# problem fdr the beach was turned over to the nc% board of directors.

Pigeons Make Morehead Regular Stop Morehead City is fast becoming one of the major refueling points for itinerant pigeons. Last summer a bird from England stopped in at Bill Styron'i dock, staying a few days before continuing on its Jour ney, and last week one dropped in at Cannon's boat works. The bird last week was a more seasoned traveller to judge by the evidence. It flew around the boats, visited the shop and allowed itself to be handled by the men at the boat works. White and purple in color, the pigeon had a blue band on its right leg with I. 98 printed on it. A band on the left leg carried the legend AU48CHS289. The men around the dock tried to feed it, but the bird was not very hungry. After nibbling at a varied diet of grass seed and crackers, the pigeon stopped eat ing and Just played around. The bird lot summer stayed wv ?ral days before it was frightened away. After spending the day at the boat works, the latest pigeon went on its way evidently refresh I jtfl ed from its brief pause for relaxa tion. If pigeons have a communication system worked out. Morehead City should figure in their travel plans. Recently Jerry Schumacher. More head City photographer, received a letter from Egypt asking about the pigeon last summer which shows bow the news is getting (round. It won't be long before pigeon 'hangars" are sprouting around the ' county preparing for the feathend tourists.

Annexation Election Will Be Held May 23 Polio Chapter * Must Borrow Mrs. C. G. Hollanu, chairman of the Carteret county chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, says that for the first time in its history the chapter has been forced to borrow money to meet hospital bills. Mrs. Holland says that the chap ter has been forced to ask for an advance of $880.41 from the Na tional Foundation in order to com plete payment of hospital and doc tor's bills resulting from the four cases of polio in the county last year. Total hospital bills for the four cases amounted to $6,270.04. This amount includes money for sur gery and ambulance fees but docs not cover some doctor's bills or the cost of braces for children who need them. Tart of the bills were paid with funds remaining from last year's drive, but the chapter still owes $4,127.43. The March of Dimes drive in January netted $6,160.69 for the chapter. Half of this amount, however, was turned over to the National Foundation for use in research and for assistance to chapters which need money. The chapter has on hand only $3,247.02 with which to meet its bills. The rest of the money must come from the National Foundation. Mrs. Holland says that the chap ter, at the present time, has no pa tients in the hospital.

Symphony Drive Ends; Leaders Are Pleased C. R. Davant, president of the Beaufort Morehead City chapter of the North Carolina Symphony so ciety reported today that he was pleased wilh the preliminary re ports of drive workers.
