THREE SECTIONS EIGHTEEN PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1953 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS Beaufort Commissioners Try to Cut Town's Budget Fanners to Get Tobacco Cards B. 1. May, manager of the county PMA office, has announced that measurement of tobacco acreage in the county has been completed and tobacco marketing cards are ready. Tobacco farmers may pick up their marketing cards at the PMA office. Mr. May said that a large num ber of growers in the county were found to have overplanted. The majority of them have destroyed the excess tobacco and are eligible to receive white marketing cards. Five farmers have elected to pay the penalty on the excess acreage and will be issued red marketing cards. The penalty on the 1953 flue cured tobacco crop is 20 cents per pound. Under present regulations, this penalty Is determined on the basis of 40 per cent of the previous year's average sale price. Mr. May said that a number of tobacco farmers in the county have sold tobacco this year on the Geor gia markets, and others ar<j now selling tobacco on the Border Belt markets which opened Monday. A number of the farmers have report ed high averages on the Georgia markets while others have not done so well. Tobacco sold on the Georgia market is not graded and there is a difference in the average price support there and on the North and South Carolina markets where grading is required. The average price support for the 1953 flue-cured tobacco crop will be 47.9 cents per pound. Last year's average was 50.6 cents per pound. The average price paid for the 1953 crop was 50.3 cents per pound, which was in line with the average support. Mr. May says mat larmers in mis county have not suffered as much from the drought as have farmers in other parts of the state. On the average, the tobacco crop in the county Is about in line with an average year's crop. Mr. May say- that measurement of cotton acreage in the county will begin within a few days. He says that, based on the best available information, the work will b? com pleted in a short time. Em T. Benson, secretary of agri culture, has intimated that market ing quotas will be declared on the 1934 cotton crop. If a surplus is found to exist beyond that allowed by law, the secretary is required to declare quotas. Marketing quotas and acreage al . lotments are two different phases of crop control. Although both are ordinarily in effect at the same time, acreage allotment may be put into effect without marketing quotas. A referendum on marketing quotas for wheat will be held on Aug. 14. Although there will be some wheat acreage allotment* in the county, no Carteret county farmers will be eligible to vote ob the queation. Only farmers with acreage allotments of 13 acres or more will be allowed to vote. Mr. May says that no farmers in the county grow wheat in that quantity. No polling places will be set up in the county. If it is found that some county farmers are eligible to vote in the election, they will be allowed to vote at the PMA of fice on the day of the election. Newport Officials Hold Short Meeting At ? very short meeting Tuesday night, the Newport town board dis cussed the case of Bobby Currier who was recently injured while working for the town. It was reported that the town's insurance would take care of his expenses. The members of the fire depart ment invited the commissioners to a Dutch supper. The commissioners also discus sed methods of sounding a fire alarm since the town's alarm sys tem is out of order. It was decided to notify residents of the town to call several members of the depart ment in case of fire. Present at the meeting were Mayor Edgar Hibbs, Commissioners M. D. McCain, 8.

The Beaufort town board, at a* long meeting Monday night, stud ied the proposed town budget with an eye toward reducing some of the planned expenditures. The board voted to cut $500 from the amount earmarked for the pur chase of equipment and to cut $300 from the amount set aside for the police department. Other cuts proposed by Gerald Hill, finance commissioner, were voted down by the board. Several of the commissioners ex pressed the opinion that it would be unwise to impair the town's ser vices by making too many cuts in the budget. Dan Walker, town clcrk, said that the budget can be met if revenue comes in as antici pated. The money cut from the budget will go into a contingent fund to cover unexpected expenses. The town clerk reported that col lections for the month of July amounted to $9,038.23. Collections from tax receipts were $6,729.30; from privilege licenses, $791.80; from auto license tags, $2; and from miscellaneous revenue, $1, 516.13. The commissioners asked the clerk to make a report on col lections at each monthly meeting. Commissioner Hill reported that the town has been able to buy some of its bonds due in 1974 at a con siderable saving. The bonds, worth $6,000, were purchased for $5,010, a saving of $990 plus interest for 20 years. Mr. Walker has reported that in terest on the bonds for 20 years would have amounted to $4,642.40. The total saving is thus $5,632.40. General refunding bonds due in 1974 and now outstanding amount to $405,000. Mr. Walker also reported on the $8,551.22 received {rom the Pow ell street aid fund. He explained to the commissioners how the mon ey had been used, and said that a report had been submitted to the state. The board voted to accept the bid of Loftin Motor company on a new truck for the street depart ment. The company's bid of $1,994 95 for an eight-cylinder truck was the lowest submitted. Other bid ders were Sound Chevrolet com pany and Paul Motor company. The price meiudes the trade-in on the old truck and the transfer of the dump body from the old truck to the new one. The board also voted to ask for bids on a new palice car. The action was taken after Chief M. E. Guy reported that the present po lice car is in pretty bad shape. The bids will be opened at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 13 at the town hall.

Severe Storm Causes Little Serious Damage Telephone Company Has Heaviest Damage From Rain, Lightning The severe rain and electrical storm which struck the county early yesterday morning, although it did some damage, did not cause the amount expected by utilities com pany officials. The heaviest damage was suffer ed by the Carolina Telephone and Telegraph company. Company offi cials reported total failures of tele phone service in Marshallberg and Atlantic. Persons attempting to call Atlantic yesterday morning were informed that there would be delays of one to two hours in plac ing the calls. The company's Morehead City of fice also reported receiving several complaints about service failures in other points. Most of the cable trouble was caused by the severe lightning. L. A. Daniels, local man ager, was working yesterday to re store service as soon as possible. George Stovall, Carteret county manager for Carolina Power and Light company, reported that most of his company's trouble could be classified as minor nuisances. He said that some wires were down at 18th and Bridges street, Morehead City, and that transform ers were damaged at Ward's creek and on 20th street, Morehead City. He said that no major equipment was damaged. Mr. Stovall said, "I m surprised that all of our equipment wasn't burned out by the lightning. 1 don't know why it wasn't. That was about the worst storm that I have ever seen around here." W. C. Carlton, manager of the Carteret-Craven Electric Member ship corporation, said that the co operative suffered little damage in the storm. He said that there was some minor damage to wires and meters but nothing approaching what bad been expected. Mr. Carlton, who was returning from a funeral in Pennsylvania, said that he reached Morehead City at 3 a.m. yesterday right at the worst of the storm. He said that lightning inking***' this ?re? cuuld be seen as far away as Rocky Mount. He said that the severity of the lightning increased as he approach ed Morehead City. He said that he encountered some rain at Cherry Point but that the rain did not be come heavy until he reached the junction of US 70 and NC 24 just west of Morehead City. The Rev. R. H. Jackson, pastor of the Davis Free Will Baptist church, reported, that a bolt of lightning struck the steeple of the church and shattered an ornamen tal spire. Mr. Jackson also said that light ning struck the house of Manly Murphy in Davis and caused con siderable damage to the furnish ings. The bolt burned a hole through the roof and damaged the stove and other kitchen equipment. The storm began about 1 a.m. and continued until about 7 a.m. The worst part of the storm ended about daylight although the rain and lightning continued for some time after that. At the height of the storm, the lightning flashes, coming one after another, kept most of the county as light as day. Few residents of the county were able to sleep for any long periods of time during the early morning hours. IS. Mamcy Uavis, county weather observer, reported it noon yester day that 3.5 inches of rain had fallen during the early morning storm. In many places the rain fell faster than storm sewers could handle it. When the storm finally ended yesterday morning, water was still several inches deep on the 700 block of Ann street, Beaufort. The large pool of water had risen over the sidewalk and had flooded lawns and sidewalks in the neigh borhood. Another pool of water had formed at Ann and Turner streets. Dan Walker. Beaufort town clerk, reported that several of the dirt streets in tawn had been badly washed out by the heavy rain. He said that the worst damage was on Cedar street.

J. B. Cutchin, engineer in New Bern, reported yesterday that the electrical equipment for the swing span has been installed and that the necessary electrical wiring should be completed before this weekend is past. "After that," he said, "it may take three days to three weeks to get the kinks out of the span op eration." Earlier it had been re ported the bridge might be in op eration around Aug. 10. Mr. Cutchin pointed out that there are so many interlocking parts to be checked and electrical relays to test before the operation of the span will be accepted by the highway commission. The opera tion of the bridge will be "thor oughly tested" before the commis sion takes the bridge from the contractors, he emphasized. While the contractors and electri- ! cians are sweating over their part in opening the bridge, city offi cials in Morehead City and At lantic Beach are busy setting up plans for a big celebration to of ficially open the bridge. George W. Dill, jr., mayor of Morehead City, and Alfred B. Cooper, mayor of Atlantic Beach, are co-chairmen of the general committee planning the celebration. Once the highway commission has set the date that the bridge will be ready for operation, the local committees will begin invit ing state officials and others to participate in the opening of the bridge. Present plans call for a speaker's platform to be erected at the Morehead City end of the bridge where several brief speech es will be made and a ribbon across the bridge will be cut officially Opening it. Governor William B. Umstead will be invited to cut the ribbon. The Beaufort band will play at the ceremony and tentative plans call for band concerts during the afternoon. A luncheon for all guests at the ceremony will be given at the Heart of the Beach. Beach merchants are sponsoring a free street dance that night from 8:30 to 12:30 to be interrupted by a mammoth aerial fireworks dis play at 10 o'clock which will cli max the entertainment. Committees of beach merchants have been appointed and are work ing on the preparations so that the celebration can be held whenever the highway commission gives its notice that the bridge is nearing the point where it may be opened. Opposed to Gambling,' Says Governor Umstead Borden's Trial Set for Monday Arnold Borden will go on trial Monday afternoon in Morehead City recorder's court on five char ges growing out of an automobile accident June 25 on Arendell street, Morehead City. Borden is charged with speeding in excess of 75 miles per hour, ex ceeding the speed limit in a 35 mile-per-hour zone, exceeding the highway speed limit of 55 miles per hour, careless and reckless driving and assault with a deadly weapon, an automobile. Borden, who was recently re leased from the hospital, is free under $2,000 bond. Six persons were injured in the crash which occurred when Bor den's car struck the rear of one being driven by Mrs. Reynolds May of Greenville. Most seriously in jured were Mrs. May and her daughter, Mary, 11. The accident occurred when Bor den struck Mrs. May's car and drove it into a telephone pole, ? tree and a parked car. Witnesses have estimated that Borden's car was traveling at more than 75 miles per hour at the time of the acci dent. Mrs. May received multiple fractures in the accident, including fractures of several ribs, both shoulder blades, her spine and her collar bone. She is still under going treatment in the Morehead City hospital. Her daughter suffered a rup tured spleen, a ruptured liver and a broken arm in the crash. An emergency operation was per formed on her shortly after the ac cident, and she received several blood transfusions. For several days after the accident, it was doubted that she would recover. The girl was released from the hos pital about two weeks ago. Borden received lacerations of the head, face and arms and pos sible chest injuries. After treat ment at the Morehead City hospit al, he was tsken to Memorial hos pital, Chspel Hill, for a further theck-up. Others injured in the sccident were Mrs. May's mother, Mrs. Vina Mse Garris of Greenville, Louis May. 14, and Sue Parrish, 12, who suffered minor injuries. Mrs. Gar ris waa released from the hospital with her granddaughter, and the others were treated and released after the accident. Sgt. Bruce Edwards of the More head City police, who conducted the investigation of the accident, said that Borden baa been unable to explain how the accident hap pened. Ship* Dock at Fwt Two Navy transports, four Navy L$T(. and the Esso tanker Burling ton docked at the port tentfMl this wmk to load or dtmtwm cargoes. ? Gov. William B. Umstead told reporters it ? press conference Tuesday that he is opposed to the two dog racing tracks Which op erate in the state. The governor made the state ment when asked for comment on the rccent legislative investigation of the tracks at Morehead City and Moyock. "If you're asking me for my per sonal opinion. I've never been in favor of legalized gambling," he said. The governor added that he had received no officftl informa tion about the tracks and that he had never visited either of them. During his campaign last year, Governor Umstead made no men tion of the race tracks, although he did call for a state-wide referen dum on the sale of alcoholic bever ages in the state. The bill for such a referendum, like that seeking to allow further elections on the dog tracks, was killed in a legislative committee. The newest development in the race track question came Monday when Judge Chester Morris in Eliz abeth City refused to grant an in junction closing the track at Mo yock. The injunction was sought by J. A. Sumrell of Harbinger on the grounds that the legislative act allowing the track is unconstitu tional. Judge Morris said that the proper method of determining the validity of the act would be to ar rest someone who gambles at the track and carry the case through the criminal courts. He said that by this procedure the validity of the act could be studied by the state' supreme court. The judge ruled that the ques tion of the constitutionality of the act could not be raised in the civil action. Annexation Vote Set Tomorrow The fireworks expected to be produced by tomorrow's Morehead City annexation election have fizz led out, and the only question which now remains to be settled appears to be which side can get the most voters to the polls. Proponents of the annexation are confident that they will be success ful in their second attempt to ex pand the city west of its present boundaries. Most of their confidence is based upon the number of persons who signed the two petitions which brought about the election. The petition asking for annexation was signed by 108 resident of the area, while only 54 signed the petition opposing the expansion. The proponents hope that some of those who originally opposed the annexation will vote for it in tomorrow's election. They say that they are shooting for a unan imous vote although they doubt that this will happen. The optimism of the proponents has been heightened by the legal rebuffs met by the opponents dur ing the pre-election campaign. Most of the pointa raised by the oppo nents were over-ruled by the state board of elections. Although the opponents nf annexation are still carrying on their fight to block it, they appear to have lost some of their confidence. Last Saturday's challenges of registrations were expected to pro duce most of the pre election fire works, but the fireworks failed to materialize as only nine voters were challenged. Five of the chall enges were made by the registrar on the grounds that the persons in question had voted by absentee ballots In other states in the last general election. Opponents of the annexation challenged only the five penons who had already been challenged by John Conner, the registrar. The proponents challenged four resi dents of a trailer camp in the area on the grounds that they arc only temporary residents. The challenges were passed on by the county board of elections at a meeting last night at the polling place, Clyde Jones' show room, 2800 Arendell street. The polls will open at 6:30 to morrow morning and will close at 6:30 tomorrow night. The results will be certified by the county board at a meeting early next week. Election officials in addition to Mr. Conner are Luther Norris and Jerry Rowe, who will serve as judges. The officials were appoint ed by the county board. The area proposed for annexa tion is west of the present city limits. It is bounded on the north by the highway and Uie railroad tracks and on the south by Bogue sound. The western boundary is the western limit of the state prop erty at Camp Glenn. The old rifle range has been included in the area at the request of the coun ty board of education. Tomorrow's election will be the second on the question within the past three months. An earlier pro posal for annexation was defeated by 11 votes in a special election in May. The area covered in the May election was much larger that that covered by the present proposal. By changing the size of the area, proponents of annexation were then able to hold another election within one year of the first one. Morton Takes Top Prizes In Photography Contest Pictuges to the right and pictures to the left was the enviable plight of the judges who Tuesday after noon chose the winners in the pho tography contest held after the Miss North Carolina beauty pa geant with MIm N.
