TWO SECTIONS TEN PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1953 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS New Atlantic Beach Bridge Opened to Traffic Monday The new Atlantic Beach Bridge-" was opened to traffic at 11;30 a.m. yesterday shortly after the installa tion of electrical equipment had been completed. It had been hoped that the bridge would be opened in time for last weekend's beach traffic, but a missing part held up the work. When the missing part finally ar rived by air the work was com pleted and highway department en gineers inspected and approved the bridge . The bridge was opened about ten minutes after the inspec tion was completed and the old .bridge was immediately closed. Mayor Alfred B. Cooper of At lantic Beach and Shelby Freeman, president of the Atlantic Beach Merchants association, were in the first car to cross the bridge from the Atlantic Beach side. The i dentity of the first person to cross from the Morehead City side is un known. but Raymond Bryan of the State Ports autority and Joe Du Bois, manager of the Morehead City chamber of commerce, were among the first across. Headen Willis of Salter Path brought the first load of fish across the bridge after it was opened. The 14,000 pound load of fish, caught at Salter Path was destined for Morehead City fish houses. Mr. Willis was also the first man to bring a load of fish over the Salter Path road when it was first paved a few years ago. Work is still being done on the the Morehead City approach to the bridge where 24th street is being widened to handle the extra amount of traffic which will use the street now that the bridge is finished. Highway Commission of ficials hope that the work will be finished by Thursday night if weather and other conditions per mit. The official dedication of the new bridge will be held at noon on Thursday, Sept. 3. Governor Um stead and other state officials have been invited to take part in the dedication ceremonies which will be held at the oMrehead City end of the bridge. The ceremony will in clude a ribbon-cutting and brief speeches by state officials and oth er dignitaries. Mayor Cooper and Mayor George W. Dill, jr., of More head City are co-chairmen of the committee planning the dedication. Beach merchants and other local officials had hoped that the bridge could be kept closed until the day of dedication but R. Markham, di vision engineer tor the Highway Commission, said that this would be impossible. Mr. Markham said that the state could not take a chance on keep ing the old bridge in use once the new one was ready for traffic. He told beach officials that the new bridge would be opened within ten minutes after its acceptance by the state inspectors. John Loving of the T. A. Loving company, which built the bridge, also explained that he has a crew of men waiting to begin destruction of the old bridge. He said that it cost considerable money to keep them waiting any longer than ne cessary. Beach officials then said that they were willing to cooperate with the state with regard to the op ening of the bridge and agreed to hold the dedication ceremony after working on final plans for the celebration which will mark the dedication. Present plans call for a luncheon at the Heart of the Beach for the guests at the cere mony, band concerts during the af ternoon and a free street dance at night. The dance will be interrup ter at 10 p.m. by a mammoth fire works display which will climax the entertainement. Plans for the new bridge were be gun jn 1950 with the actual con struction \york starting in 1951. The two-thirds mile structure cost the state $1,339,203 with the mon ey coming from bond funds. Tobacco Acreage Figures Released 0 Carteret county farmers this planted 1,866.7 acres of tobacco according to the recordi of B. J. May. manager of the county PMA office. The acreage was planted by 424 of the 441 county farmers hav ing tobacco allotments and one farmer without an allotment who planted '4 acre. The total acreagcjMotment for the county was ISftM acres for 441 farms. These Included 439 old allotments and two new ones. Mr. May says that 104 of the coun ty's farmers planted tobacco in ex cess of their allotments. The ex cess amounted to 37.9 acres. Of the farmers who requested rechecks of their acreage only four were found to be entitled to re funds. Of the remaining 100, 95 destroyed the excess acreage and the others received excess mark eting cards. Mr. May said that this year's to bacco crop in the county was bet ter than average although there was some damage from heavy rains. He alto said that tobacco still in the fields after the recent hurricane might be difficult to harvest. , Tri-State Fish Meeting Involves State Trawlers A five-man commission studying migratory fish problems common to North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland met yesterday in Wil mington to hear a report of a sci entific sub-committee. The commission was established by the legislatures of the three states to study common problems. The goal is to have each state en act legislation which would be helpful in the solution of common difficulties. Primarily before the commis sion yesterday was a study on the causes of the radical decline of fin fish catches in the Chesapeake Bay area. There has been some feeling that this decline may be attributed to deep sea trawling and shrimp trawling. Croaker and trout catch es have also declined in recent years in North Carolina and Vir ginia waters. Members of the scientific sub committee are W. A. Ellison, jr., and Dr. Eugene Roelofs of the In stitute of Fisheries Research, Morehead City; J. C. McHugh of Virginia; Richard Tiller of Mary land; and G. P. Talbot of the Fish and Wildlife service, Beaufort. The report showed that there is no scientific evidence that shrimp trawling has an advers af fect on fish. Natural factors are more important than man in caus ing the fluctuations, it points out. "Nobody knows the causes," Mr. Ellison commented, "and to de termine them would require costly and extensive research which no one has done to date. We might look to the federal government for research work of this nature since it is too expensive for individ ual states to undertake and deals with migratory fish from Florida to Maine. We don't know where to find the answers at the present time." The Southern Fisherman maga zine for July, 1953, quoted Mary land Senator W. Mason Shenan as saying that "fish caught by North Carolina fishermen are potentially a part of the supply of fish caught by Marylanders." Mr. Shehan heads the Maryland delegation. State Senator James V. Whitfield of Burgaw heads the North Caro lina delegation. North Carolina and Virginia have legislative commissions for the study of mutual fishing problems and these two groups have already met. The three-state commission will consider regulations on the takings of herring, shad, and rock, as well as trout, blues and hard heads. It has been pointed out that fluc tuations in migratory fish are not unusual. Croakers at one time al most disappeared from state waters but are again being caught. Men haden disappeared off the coast of Maine ih the 1920's but returned in recent years. The fluctuation of cod on the Grand Banks off New foundland has long been known to commercial fishermen in that area. "We shouldn't jump to conclu sions as to causes and pass a lot of restrictive legislation that will only hamper fishermen without af fecting the fish situation," Mr. El lison advised. Average Tobacco Prices Continue on High Level Boats Promote Morehead City Morehead City's delegates to the I State Firemen's association conven tion 14st week at Carolina Beach 1 used two boats to promote More- j head City among the other dele gates to the convention. George Stovall's Miss Fritz and Capt. Hubert Fulcher's Blue Water provided transportation to the con vention *for the four delegates and served as headquarters for the del egation at the convention. Mr. Stovall said that many of the dele gates to the convention were guests aboard the two boats and were tak en on short cruises. Jack Barnes of Fayetteville, a fire equipment dealer, was so im pressed with the reception and treatment which he received on the boats that he made the trip back to Morehead City with the delegates. Delegates from Morehead City were Mr. Stovall, Captain Fulcher, Harry Burns and Daniel Lee Willis. Other Morehead firemen attending were Chief Eldon Nelson, George T. Lawrence, Vernon Guthrie, E. Stamey Davis and Don M. Willis. New officers of the association are Tyrus Bissette of Wilson, pres ident; Cosmo Cox of Durham, vice president; J. L. Miller of Concord, secretary; Ed Johnson, treasurer; and A. W. Brinson of New Bern, statistician. Despite the large amount of bus iness which was conducted at the convention, the 600-700 delegates to the convention found time for i recreation at the beach. Mr. Stov ' all reported that Clio's Corner was particularly active during the con vention. County Weather Remains Cool Temperatures in the county have remained low since last week's heavy rain, according to the rec ords of E. Stamey Davis, county weather observer. In general, tem peratures have ranged from the mid-60's to the low 80's during the four day period ending Sunday. Thi greatest range of temper ature reported wan on Saturday which had a minimum of 64 and a maximum of 89. Average temper ature for^the four days was 74. No rain fell in the county during the four days. Max. Mtn. Thursday, Aug. 20 80 TO Friday, Aug. 21 82 89 Saturday. Aug. 22 88 84 Sunday, Aug. 23 77 85 ? Most grades of flue-cured tobac co sold on the Eastern Belt Mark ets Thursday and Friday, first two days of the current season, showed higher price averages than the first two days last year. The amount of tobacco sold also showed an in crease over the same period last year. Gross sales on the 17 markets for the two-day period amounted to 24.320,650 pounds for an average price of $52.97 per 100 pounds. This is an increase of $2.19 over last year when sales totaled 14,405, 462 pounds. Increases in grade averages ranged from $1 to $10 per 100 pounds with most $2 to $6. Largest gains were for primings and lugs. A few cutters and other scattered grades showed losses of $1 to $2 The practical top price was $69. The percentage of fair to fine to bacco increased over last year and the proportion of cutters was larg er. Deliveries to the Stabilization .corporation on opening day amounted to 6.5 per cent of gross sales. Deliveries last year on open ing day amounted to 15 per cent. Average bids last week on the Eastern Belt were as follows: Leaf: fair lemon 63, fair orange 59, low orange 54, poor orange 46. Cutters: fair lemon 68, low lemon 67. Lugs: good lemon 67, good or ange 66, fair lemon 63, fair orange 80. Primings: good lemon 65, fair lemon 59, fair orange 52, low or ange 37. Nondescript: best thin 21, poorest thin 9 On the South Carolina and Bord er Belt markets last week most grades showed slightly higher aver age prices. Quality was down slightly and volume was heavy at most markets. Last week's sales at these mark ets brought an average price of $99.24. Average price for the season is $53.90. The Bright Belt Warehouse asso ciation has voted to delay by one week the opening of the Middle and Old Belt markets. The Middle Belt will open Sept. 8 and the Old Belt will begin sales Sept. 21. The slowness of the sale of crops on the South Carolina and Border Belt markets was given as the reas on for the postponement. Buying companies are not in a position to place buyers and other person nel on all markets at the same time. The delay will not affect the Sandhills markets which will open Thursday aa scheduled. B & PW Club to Meet Tonight at Harkors Island The Carteret county B&PW club will hold its regular monthly meet ing tonight at Marker'* Lodge, Harker'a Island Dinner will be served at 1 p.m. with a business meeting following dinner. Captain Harker'a boat will to* available for those who *cish to take a moonlight sail alter the meeting. Morehead Board Sees Much Water, But No Drains Commissioners Hear Troubles Following Storm and Big Rains Water, water, everywhere and not a drain in sight, was the la ment of the Morehead City town board at its regular monthly meet ing Thursday night. Dr. John Morris, commissioner in charge of streets and sewers, men tioned three bad spots on city streets and property which need to be drained These are the 2200 block of Fisher street, Homes drive and Sunset drive. A large group of residents of the Fisher area attended the meeting to ask the board to do something about storm sewers and drainage for surface water in their area. J. V. Waters, street superintendent, told the board storm :>ewers for the Fisher street area would cost nearly $3,000. The residents also raised the question of sanitary sewers and Mayor George W. Dill, jr., outlined the town's policy of sanitary sewers. The people said they would try to raise the necessary $600 per block. This is the regular $50 tap-on fee for 12 of the lots on a 16 lot city block. Estimates on surface water drain age for the Homes drive area were approximately $500, and the Sun set drive area $1,000. The board then discussed the possibility of raising funds to cover storm sewer installation for these areas. Dr. Morris pointed out that at the present time surface water is ponding in the areas and creates a very bad condition. "We've been retiring bonds ahead of time when our streets are in a deplorable condition," he told the board. Mayor Dill said that the board was trying to improve the city's financial condition and nego tiate a new bondholders agreement. This led to a general discussion of the street budget. The budget this rear calls for the expaidUqre of $18,471 on the city streets; last year's expenditures were $17,721. j The city recently spent $10,000 pav ing a portion of Fisher street. At one point in the discussion. Mayor Dill advised the board to "tear up" the budget and pass an ordinance "outlawing storms in Morehead City." All the members of tfle board agreed that action was needed in the near future to protect the city's street system and extend it. The only difficulty is money, and Thursday night, water. The dis cussion was then postponed for a special meeting at which time the board will try to find means of rais ing the necessary funds for the storm sewers. The commissioners assured the Fisher street residents, that they were moving as fast as was possible and when funds were available the board would act to clear up the parts of town without natural drain age. Otway Youth Hurt in Wreck Walter Thomas Lawrence, 20, ol Otway was injured Friday after noon when the car in which he was riding ran off the road and was wrecked on Harkers Island. Witnesses told Highway Patrol man W. J. Smith that the youth was traveling at a high rate of speed before the accident. They said that he ran two or three cars off the road during his progress along the island. Lawrence finally missed a (light curve, went off the road and struck two trees. He was knocked uncon scious in the wreck. A passing mo torist took Lawrence to the More head City hospital where he _ is being treated for a severe cut on his head, an injured knee and pos sible back injuries. Patrolman Smith laid that Law rence will be charged with driving while under the influence of al cohol. driving after his license had been revoked, careless and reckless driving and speeding. He will be tried after he is released from the hospital. TTie car, owned by Troy Lewis of Otway, was a total loss. Lewis was not in the car at the time of the accident Justin Ball of Morehead City was also charged with driving whilf under the influence of alcohol af ter his car was wrecked early Sat urday morning. Patrolman Smith said that Ball's car was wrecked when he misaed a curve on the Mill rCeek road. Ball was uninjured in the aeddent, but Duffy Arnold, a passenger In th? car, suffered a broken finger. Ball will be tried today hi coun- j ty recorder's court J Ore Movements Through Port Studied by State Authority Garbage Pick-Up Times Are Set Garbage will be collected in the area recently annexed to Morehead City on Tuesday and Fridav after noons. Mayor George W. Dill, jr., announced Thursday night at the regular town board meeting. "The storm got us off on the wrong foot in this area," he said, "since we had to divert all the city's equipment and men to clean ing up." He emphasized that all garbage in the new areas must be put on the street in front of the house, since there are no alleyways. "We can't afford to send men behind houses to pick up garbage and car ry it by hand out to the trucks," the mayor continued. The trucks will make their rounds in the area on Tuesday and Friday afternoons. Earlier there had been some confusion as to the time the trucks would visit the area. A bid for approximately $2,000 for traffic lights at four down town Arendell street intersections from the Wilmington Electric com pany was accepted by the board. These lights will be progressive so that traffic majf-be controlled as the number of cars decreases or increases. The total cost on the lights will be about $3,000 after the installations have been made. The board voted to have the city attorney draw up an ordinance making it unlawful to loiter in the grandstand on 11th street. Com missioner Ted Garner who brought up the matter described this as a serious condition. The board also asked that a check be made of the total mechanic lab or cost on city equipment for last year so that the possibility of em ploying a full-time mechanic may be considered. It was also re ported that a garbage backfill trac tor for use at the city (tump would roet $4,900. Dr. John Morris, *tree.t and sewer commissioner, described the back-fill garbage method as far supcrior to the present method used by the city. All of the commissioners attend ed the meeting. They are Mr. Gar ner. D. J. Hall. S. C. Holloway, D. G. Bell, and Dr. Morris Mayor Dill presided. A large number of residents also attended. Highway Favored By Dare County The Dare county board of com missioners has passed a resolution favoring the development of a coas tal highway. Joe DuBois, manager of the Morehead City chamber of commerce, announced today. Representing the project before the Dare commissioners.. R. S. Wa hab of Ocracoke and Mr. DuBois asked that the coastal county go on record as favoring the highway. Mr. Wahab told the commision ers that the progress and future of Ocracoke would be vitally affected by the existence of such a highway. Ocracoke is in Hyde county but the Outer Banks extension from Hattcras Inlet north is in Dare county. The highway would run from Norfolk down the banks using fer ries to cross the inlets and a car ferry from Ocracoke to Atlantic. The only gaps in the proposal now are 18 miles of paving on Ocracoke island and a car ferry to span the 30 miles of water between Uie Is land and Atlantic. Attending the meeting were members of the Dare county tour ist bureau and representatives of the highway commission. The ad dition of a new ferry at Oregon In let was announced. Night ferry ser vice for the inlets was alao sought by residents of the coastal area in terested in tourist traffic. A representative of the national park system told the Dare group that the government has acquired 85 per cent of the land which will go in the Outer Banks park. The formal opening of the park Is ex pected in the near future. The park service is also interest ed in better ferry service and night ferries. It was pointed out that the present schedule means that a large pile-up of traffic on the is lands discourages tourists from vis iting the islands. The park service might be able to help the state acquire surplus LSTs for ferries, it was reported. . ??? Scheduled The Morel Open Ground Tour Set for Tomorrow Miss Georgina Yeatman's Open Grounds farm will be opened for inspection by the public at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow with guided tours and discussions of the project. Roy Beck, soil conservationist, says that any interested person may join the tour. It will be necessary for every person attending to hjive a private automobile for transpor tation around the farm. It was decided to hold the special tour because so many people have expressed interest in the tech niques being used thert>. Local farm specialists and soil and agron omy experts will discuss the vari ous phases of the operations. L. W. Howard, district soil con servation superviser. will welcome the visitors to the farm, and Mr. Beck will explain the land use pro gram which has been designed for the farm. Donald Jones, farm man ager, will explain the forage pro gram; Dr. W. W. Woodhouse, agronomist from the extension di vision in Raleigh, will discuss the fertilization program; and R. M. Williams, county farm agent, will explain the livestock program. Miss Yeatman will join the tour to answer any question which the visitors may wish to ask. Loud speaker systems will be set up so that explanations and discussions of the various phases of the farm operation can be clearly heard by everyone on the tour. The Open Grounds project was first considered in 1936, and work was originally scheduled to begin in 1941. The war and resulting shortages of equipment and labor intervened, however, and the work did not begin until the fall of 1951. Since that time, a 2 '^-square mile experimental tract has been developed and turned into perma nent pasture and fields of small grains. It is eventually planned to similarly develop the rest of the 20,000 acres of pocosin land in the 43,000-acre tract which makes up the farm. In the drainage and pasturage programs, Miss Yeatnian has work ed closely with the county farm agent, soil conservation supervisees and specialists from the State col lege extension division. The basic program calls for drainage of large areas and the establishment of per manent pastures. The program has included use of large quantities of various types of special fertilizers and other soil conditioners. Much of this has been brought in from other parts of the country where it has already been used on organic soils of the type found in the Open Grounds. Ma chinery has also been brought in from other states to be used in the project. Miss Yeatman plans eventually to turn the farm into a mammoth cattle ranch and her herd already numbers 1,300 head of cattle. Many of these cattle were shipped in this summer from drought - stricken areas of the southwest. Cable Repairs Restore Beaufort Phone Service i el? ((.ioiic sorvico m' BcatfforH wa8 almost completely restored at 8 a.m. Friday morning when splic ing crews finished making repairs on a cable which had been soaked in Tuesday's heavy rain. With the exception of some out side trouble which was not discov ered until after the cable had been repaired, most subscribers had tel ephone service Friday morning. Some subscribers had been able to use their phones since Thursday morning when the company began to connect lines which had already been repaired. Tuesday's rains backed water in to the company's Beaufort office wetting a 1.200-pair cable which runs approximately 75 feet from the office to a manhole where it is split up carrying lines to phones and party-lines in Beaufort. L. A. Daniels, local manager of the company, said that this part of the huge cable had to be replaced necessitating a complicated splicing operation at each end of the cable. Each pair of wires in such a cable represents a private phone or a party-line. The cables are put underground because there is less trouble with underground cables than with ov erhead lines. Mr. Daniels said, however, that when there is trouble with cables it is much harder to repair. Five cable-splicing crews were sent in from outside to assist with the work in Beaufort. They worked around the clock to restore the ser vice as soon as possible. Telephone service to Atlantic and Marshallberg was restored by stringing temporary lines which by- passed the Beaufort office. Ser vice to the eastern part of the coun ty was resumed early Tuesday af ternoon. During the break in service, the company installed four pay tele phones in the Beaufort office to handle emergency calls and to al low outgoing calls by Beaufort res idents. A messenger service was set up to allow calls to reach Beaufort residents. When calls came into the office, the persons being called were notified by taxi that the call had been made. They were then able to go to the office and call the person who made the original call if they so desired. The service was maintained on a 24-hour basis. The two girls and one man who handled the calls were provided by Dan Walker, town clerk. Ttie cable which caused the trouble got wet as a result of the recent hurricane but workmen were able to dry it out and restore service at that time. A 400-pair cable was similarly damaged during the hurricane in Morebead City and had to be re placed. The cable on Bridges street was much longer than that in Beaufort and service was not re stored until four days after the storm. Infant's Death Ruled Natural Coroner Leslie D. Springle has ruled that strangulation was the cause of death of a 20-day-old Ne gro baby found dead Friday morn ing in her Beaufort home. He said that Delores Ann Sharpe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Sharpe of 310 Queen street, died when two unusually large holes jir the nipple of her bottle permit ted an excessive flow of milk. The child's mother notified Chief M. E. Guy of the Beaufort police of the child's death at 9:30 a.m. more than two hours after she found the child dead in bed beside her. Chief Guy notified the coron er and the two questioned the parents. The mother told them that she put the baby to bed at 7:30 Thurs day night and did not disturb her again during the night. She said that she found the child dead when she awoke shortly after 7 a. m. Sharpe told the investigators that he went to work before 7 a.m. and did not know that his daughter was dead at that time. He said that he called his wife before he left for work but that she did not answer so he left. After a brief questioning the coroner and chief Guy left the Sharpe home intending to return again for more questioning. While they were gone, the parents buried the child at 11 30 a.m. The coron er said that the funeral was con ducted without his knowledge or permission. Coroner Springle said that when they returned to the house at about 2 p.m. to question the parents fur ther they found them out shopping, apparentlly without a care in the world. The coroner said that he was satisfied that death was from natur al causes and that no autopsy would be necessary. Tide Table Tide* at Beaufort Bar HIGH LOW Tuesday.

Friday in Wilmington by J. D. Holt, manager of the loeal port. Development of the ore trade de pends upon the construction of a track type crane. Such a crane would cost approximately $140,000 installed at the Morehead City port. Mr. Holt told the authority mem bers that Canadian ores consigned to firms in Tennessee and ores now going through another port might come through the Morehead City facilities if the crane is provided. This would mean many ships each year. During the meeting the contract for repairing the old dock at t^e port was awarded to Wanamaker and Wells of Orangeburg, S. C. Their bid was for $229,000 and will cover repairs to all of the old dock except that part leased to the Standard Oil company of New Jer sey. Col. George W. Gillette, execu tive director of the authority, em phasized to the members that the development of the two state ports largely depends upon the construc tion of more adequate storage and loading facilities at the ports. Two Wilmington hanks attended the meeting and told the state ports group that if the authority would draw up a prospectus set ing fort to the need for tobacco stor age at the Wilmington port, they would see if financing could be ar ranged. For a considerable |>eriod of time the need for tobacco storage at both ports has been apparent. The warehouses contemplated would cost an estimated $40(),0<H) at each port. The Wilmington banks said that the money could probably be paid off within seven to 10 years. The financing of these warehous es has been a stumbling block to port, expansion. A tentative pro posal for a bond issue won the ap proval of the attorney general re cently. but the authority has not decided on the construction and bond issue. In the past most tobacco industry leaders in the state have indicated a preference for Morehead City as the state port for tobacco export. It has beeu pointed out by local businessmen that if funds for stor age construction are arranged at Wilmington and warehouses are built there in all probability the tobacco export trade will by-pass the Morehead City port. . Wilmington business interests have already established an Indus trial and Traffic bureau, staffed by a rate expert and traffic solici tor to bring in business for the Wilmington port. The ores involved in Mr. Holt's report are bauxite and manganese and a large shipment of aluminum pigs. No action was taken on the re-ap pointment of Col Gillette as exec utive director. Edwin Pate, vice chairman of the authority, said that the re-appointment would be on the agenda when Chairman A. G. Myers of Gastonia, who is ill, would be able to attend. New Teachers Join Faculty G. T. Windell, principal of the Morehcad City school, has an nounced the names of the six new teachers who will join the school's faculty for the coming school year. New teachers and the subjects which they will teach are Miss An netta Mills of Chicago. III., public school music; Mrs. Madelyn Ains worth of New Bern, typing and English; Clarence Mooring, Eng lish; Miss Elizabeth Hodges of Washington, librarian; Mrs. llattie Phillips, English: and Mrs. Billie Ball, eighth grade. Mrs. Phillips and Mrs. Ball are filling new teaching posts at the school while the others are replace ments for teachers who have left. The number of pupils jn the school last year made it possible for two more teachers to be added to the faculty. Mr. Windell has also announced that pupils may obtain their lock* ers for the coming year at 1 p.m. Saturday at the school. The school will open for the 1953-54 school year on Wednesday. Sept. 2. Pupils who arc now eligible to register for the first grade may do so at a registration period from 9 to 10 a.m. today at the school. Un der an act of the 1953 general as sembly. children who will be six years old by Oct. 15 are now elig ible to start school. Under the old law. pupils had to be six by Oct 1 in order to be eligible. Pupils must bring birth certificates whea I they appear for the registration
