W CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES ??< 42nd YEAR, NO. 35. THREE SECTIONS TWENTY-FOUR PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1953 PUBLISHED TUESDAY AND FRIDAYS Fire Ravages Woodlands < In Eastern Part of County Firefighters yesterday were stilH battling a forest fire raging on an eight mile front from Otway to Stacy. The fire, located in Wood lands on the edge of the open grounds, has been burning for al most a week. The fire started last Friday north -of Williston and has since been joined by other, smaller fires which sprung up in the area. E. M. Fore man. county fire waqden, says that he has been unable to deter mine the exact size of the area which is burning, but he says that the blaze covers an extensive ac reage. Mr. Foreman says that fire fighters have been hampered in their efforts by the nature of the terrain ton which they are work ing. The land is pocosin and will not support the weight of the heavy equipment which in the past has proved effective in battling for est fires. Detachments of marines from Cherry Point have been used to supplement the regular firefight ing crews working in the area. With the help of the -marines, the fire was brought under control early in the week, but it broke out again Wednesday with renewed in tensity. Late Wednesday afternoon, when the fire was at its peak, a billow ing cloud of smoke could be seen from many parts of the county. Wednesday night, flames lit the sky and could be seen plainly from the Morehead City - Beaufort cause way. The fire as yet presents no threat to residents of nearby communities. The wind has been blowing from the south and the fire is working north toward the open ground rath er than south toward the communi ties along US 70. In the event that the wind does change direction and begin to drive the flames toward the highway, Mr. Foreman says that he believes that the fire could be held before it could present any serious threat to communities in its path. The dry weather in recent weeks has made county woodlands tinder dry and has been responsible for the rash of fires which have struck county woodlands in the past week. Over last weekend firefighters battled at least 12 forest fires in tbe county. Moat of .the fires were in the eastern part of the county, and several of them joined to form the one large fire now burn ing. There have, however, been some fires in the Harlowe section. Fire fighters reported that there were two or three fires in that section. One was still burning Monday af ternoon near the Negro school on the North Harlowe road, but all of the fires in the area were out by mid-week. Mr. Foreman, has announced that the state forestry division has sus pended all burning permits until after rain eliminates the danger of fires in dry woodlands. The action was taken because of the number of forest fires which have endangered timber and lives in various sections of the state. There have been several other serious fires in recent weeks in the eastern part of the state. The town of Dover in Craven county narrow ly missed destruction when a forest fire' burned much of> the nearby forest. Stumpy Point in Hyde county was saved from destruction only by a change in wind direction which swept a forest fire away from the town. Last April, foresters have re ported there were 1,030 forest fires which caused damage in excess of $350,000. The month was marked by one of the heaviest and costli est series of forest fires in the state. The great damage during that month was attributed to the com bination of dry weather and wind. Foresters point out that the same conditions are true this year, and everyone has been urged to exer cise great care in order to prevent the outbreak of more serious fires. Housing Project ^ Addition Plans Are Completed Bids for a 40-unit addition to the low-rent housing project in More head City have been invited by the Eastern Carolina Regional Housing authority, Goldsboro. The new units will be construct ed on property just west of the present units in the project. At the - present time there are 25 units for white persons and 23 units for Negroes. The new 40-unit addition will be for white tenants. The first 90 units were opened last fair. They have been completely occupied since that time. I. E. Pittman of More head City, chairman of the housing authority, reported that all of the unita in truding the addition were approved at the same time, but construction on the last 40 units had been de layed while engineers prepared specifications and plana for con tractors. More head City Jaycees To Issue Bond Series The Morehead City Jaycees at their meeting Monday night ap proved the issuance of a series of bonds. The bonds, in the amount of $8,000, will be issued to obtain money for the completion of the new athletic field. The club plans to issue 80 $100 bonds at three per cent interest. The bonds will be secured by a first mortgage on the lighting equipment and other fixtures to be erected at the field. The bonds will be retired in 1958 with one fifth of the bonds to be called each year until that time. In order to eliminate individual liability for the bonds it was de cided to incorporate the club. If the club remained unincorporated, each member would be individual ly liable for payment of the bonds. The bonds will be issued after the incorporation becomes effective. The First-Citizens Bank and Trust company of Morehead City will serve as trustee of the bonds. It was announced at the meeting that the new officers of the club will be installed at a banquet at 7 p.m. Monday at the Blue Ribbon club. President-elect Paul Geer an nounced that he had appointed James Macy as secretary for the coming year. While all other of ficers are elected by the club, the secretary is appointed by the presi dent. The club voted to back Jimmy Wallace as a candidate for na tional director at the state conven tion May 15-17 at Asheville. A com mittee was appointed to conduct a campaign, and club members were asked to contact other clubs in the eighth district to solicit their sup port. ' The club voted against a pro posal to change the name of the national organization from Junior Chamber of Commerce to Jaycees. The proposal is being backed by clubs in Tennessee which have al ready made the change on the state level. Members of the club felt that a change in the name of tlie organization would mean a re building of the good will which the organization now has under the old name. President Walter Morris report ed that plans have been completed for the parade to be held today by the bicycle club at the Morehead City school. He said that mer chants are being approached to do nate prizes for the bicycle decora tions. President Morris also said that the parade is only the first step in the club's safety program. He said that a field day will be held in the fall and the grand prizes will be awarded at that time. The bicycle club is being sponsored jointly by the Jaycees and the Morehead City school. President Morris asked for vol unteers to help with the waterfront clean up which was held Wednes day. The club was asked to handle the clean-up on the section of the waterfront near the hospital. The club voted to pay the ex penses of one delegate to the boys state sponsored by the American Legion. Home Demonstration Week Plans Near Completion K Farmers Study Weed Control * R. M. Williams, county farm agent, has recommended that corn raisers in the county study the weed control demonstration being carried out on the farms of Neal Campen of Wire Grass and Thomas Oglesby of Crab Point. He says that the purpose of the demonstration is to show how use of 2 4-D chemical spray controls weeds when applied at different times and under different cultural practices. Mr. Williams says that four plata are being used in the demonstra tion. Two of the plats received a pre-emergence treatment, two ap plications of 2 4-D about a week after the corn was planted. One of these plats will receive no cultiva tion. and the other will be culti vated once at laying-by time. A third plat, which received no pre-emergence treatment, will be cultivated norjnally through laying by time. All three of the plats will receive post-emergence treatment* about ten days after laying-by time. The fourth plat will be cultivated in the usual manner and will not receive any treatment. The agent says that chemicals have proven effective in controlling weeds in corn fields, small grains, lawns, improved permanent pas tures and on ditch banks. While present in the Mil, chemicals will destroy most germinating grass seedlings, including crab grass. For best results, the chemicals should be applied after a rainfall. Mr. Williams says that the pre emergence treatment should elim inate one and possibly two cultiva tions of the corn, thus reducing labor costs. He also says that proper weed control should mean higher yields per acre. ? Carteret county home demonstra tion women are making final plans for Home Demonitratjoa Week , whieh wlll be wtebratert from Way 3-9. The purpose of the week is toi acquaint the public with the work of the clubs and the home demon stration program.

Harry B. Caldwell, itate mas ter of the (range, has issued the explanation in the belief that it will eliminate much of the misun derstanding on the part of milk producers. In hi> statement, Caldwell says that the bill ia basically a fair trade proposal designed to eliminate un fair trade practices which "threat en to destroy small, independent distributors of milk" and to pro vide an incentive for local produc tion of Grade A mUk. The bill is intended to curb sales at lover price* of milk produced in other states and ahipped into North Carolina for sale. Caldwell says that the lower price of such milk is gradually squeezing lade pendent distributors out of bust ness. The bill sets up a state commis sion and gives it the power: (1) to confer with legally con stituted authorities of other states with the view of securing a uni formity in the marketing of milk with respect to milk coming into and going out of the state in inter state commerce; (2) to Investigate all matters pertaining to production, process ing, storage, distribution and sale of milk in the state; (3) to supervise and regulate the handling of milk for the health protection of the consumers of the itatei (4) to hold hearings, make or adopt rules and regulations and is sue orders necessary to carry out the purposes of the act; (8) to examine into the busi ncss. books, and account* of milk producers, associations of pro ducers, and milk distributors, their affiliates or subsidaries and take such other action as may be neces sary in carrying out the purpose* of the act; (6) to fix minimum prices to be paid producers and associations at producer^ or distributors and mu imum and minimum prices to b? charged consumers: (7) to require all distributor in any market under its control to be licensed by the commission and it may decline to grant a license to a distributor upon due notice and after a hearing; (8) to define marketing area for the purpose! of the act; (0) to delegate Its powers M ? local board in any particular Mar keting area for the purpoe* of ear See MILK, Page 7 Beaufort Group Forms New Slate * For Town Board A new slate of candidates emerged for Tuesday's municipal election in Beaufort when five of the candidates for town board got together to form a ticket. The new ticket is comprised of Gordon Hardesty, Richard Smith. J. L. (Jimmie) Range, Wyon Gray Lewis and Willie Lewis, sr. Al though no official announcement has been made, it is believed that Roy Eubanks, candidate for mayor, and Bayard Taylor, candidate for recorder's court judge, are also members of the same ticket. The slate was formed after a meeting Monday night at the Beau fort town hall. Several of the candidates running in opposition to the slate headed by Clifford T. Lewis were present at the meeting. Guiding spirits behind the meeting were Mayor Lawrence W. Hassell and Jim Davis. The men who make up the new slate for town board were at the meeting as was Mr. Eubanks. Mr. Taylor was not present at the meet ing. Several other residents known to be opposed to the present town government were also present at the meeting. Mayor Hassell, who presided at the meeting, says that he is sup porting both Mr. Eubanks and Mr. Taylor. He denies, however, that he is supporting any group of candidates for town board. He says that he is no longer active in poli tics and is supporting Mr Eubanks and Mr. Taylor for non-political reasons. The mayor says that he is sup porting Mr. Eubanks because he Is a veteran of World War II and he feels that he should be honored for his overseas service. The mayor says that he is supporting Mr. Tay lor for judge because he is a na tive of Beaufort. Mayor Hassell says that too many of the county's judges have come from Atlantic. He cited the | cases of Luther Hamilton, former [Superior court judge; Lambert ?it\rri:y present judge of the coun [ ty recorder's court; and Earl Ma son, present judge of the Beaufort court. The mayor says that he be lieves that a Beaufort court should have a Beaufort judge, i Mr. Davis says that he is sup porting the entire new slate of candidates because he has long been an advocate of a change in the Beaufort town government, i The first slate formed for the i election is that headed by Mr. Lewi^. The slate includes Judge Mason; Commissioners James Rum ley. Carl Hatsell and Dr. W. L. ! Woodard, all seeking reelection to | the board; and Gerald Hill and W. G. Temple, seeking to fill two va j fancies on the board. The vacan ' cies were created when Mr. Lewis | decided to run for mayor and Com missioner Math Chaplain declined to seek reelection. The remaining candidates for the i town board arc W. J. Mishael, Charles Hudgins, William Skarren 1 and Marcus Mason. None of these candidates have as yet joined any group and are running independ ently.

Flying Sergeants Borrow Plane to Visit Friends * Two Cherry Point sergeants made the news this week when they borrowed a four-engine troop trans port for a flight from Dallas, Tex as. to Shreveport, I .a. The plane, a Marine "flying box car," made a routine flight from Cherry Point to Dallas where an overnight stop was planned. After a few drinks in Dallas. Sgt. Will iam H. Milburn of Shreveport and Sgt. George H. Hogarty decided they would like to visit some friends in Shreveport. Milburn was crew chief on the plane and had received In 1949, eight hours of flight instruction. Hogarty was a radio operator with out any pilot training. They went to the Dallas munici pal ariport where the plane was parked and took off. While in the process of taking off, the two tyroa almost hit the antenna o( l televis ion station. After (lying about two houn, they landed in Shreveport. The 200-mile flight normally requires approximately one hour. The ser geants lost their way twice enroute enroute. , The landing at Shreveport took three attempts but Milburn de fended his flying ability with the comment, "I've seen lots of real pilots do worse than that." The two sergeants were arrested at the main gate of the Barksdale Air Force base in Shreveport. They never did see those friends. Concert Planned The Morehead City school band, under the direction of Ralph Wade, will present its annual spring con cert at 7:30 pjn. Tuesday in the school auditorium.

More head City's political tempo has in creased day by day during the past week. An accurate measure was the sudden spurt in registrations. Last Thursday. Grady Bell, city regis trar, told a NEWS-TIMES reporter that approximately 125 new regis trations had been recorded since the books opened April 18. Yesterday, he reported that more than 800 new registrations were on the books with nearly 700 added in the last week. Tomorrow is challenge day for all registrations. At various periods during the week, people have lined up in the city hall waiting to get their names on the city's book or to check and be sure they were registered. Much of the confusion was caused by the fact that there is one registration book for city elections and another set of books Tor coun ty, state and national elections. A person registered in one book might not be registered on the other set of books. Every qualified voter must register in person. If the voters name is already on the city book, he need not re register. Mr. Bell and F. C. Salisbury, an election judge, estimated yesterday that the total of new registrations in Morehead City migty go as high as 1,000 before the book is closed late this afternoon. The only contested seats arc those of the city commissioners. Mayor George W. Dill, jr., is un opposed for re-election and all of the city recorder's court officials are unopposed for re-election. The present commissioners are running on a slate together, though the ballot will be arranged so that the voter will vote for any five of the 12 candidates. The present commissioners are D. G. Bell, Dr. John W. Morris, S. C. Holloway, M. T. Mills, and W. L. Derrickjion. Other CMMttttates Who havr filed are Ted Garner. D. J. Hall, W. E. Cottingham. I^eroy Guthrie. Thomas Wade. R. Doug West and V. J. O'Neal. A. L. Brinson filed but has withdrawn from the race. This exceptionally large number of candidates has generated a great deal of interest in the election. Last Saturday night, a meeting of the candidates was held to discuss the state election and registration laws. Prior to that time, there had been some confusion as to who was registered and whether or not a person might register for another person. Other offices open in the election are two members of the board of hospital trustees. A. B. Roberts, jr., and Gordon C. Willis are unop posed for re-election as hospital trustees. Court officials running in the election arc George McNeill, judge; Alvah L. Hamilton, sr., as sistant judge; John E. Lashley, clerk; and Herbert O. Phillips, III, solicitor.
