Carteret County News -Times "Cuieitrt Cwntyi Newipaper" EDITORIAL PAGE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1953 More and More Ports North Carolina may not be able to stand at the forefront of many states in ccrtain aspects but there is one field in which we are certainly becoming pre-eminent. That is the number of ports. We have state ports at Morehead City and Wilmington and the Army is now creating an ammunition loading depot near Southport on the Cape Fear river. There is some indication that certain residents of Brunswick county want to make the Army depot into a major port. There are also some at Little Washington who want a deep-water port there. Bill Keziah of Southport was quoted in a state paper as seeing in the project a victory over Brunswick county's rivals in Wilmington. Mr. Keziah wants the Southport region to become the major port for the state. This is understandable and we suppose commendable. It's always good to see a hometown booster. It surely points up a matter of growing concern to everyone in this state interested in the development of ports. The state cannot economically attempt to make Wilming ton and Morehead City absoulutely equal with respect to the ports. There are some cargoes that should wholly go to Wilmington while there are other kinds of shipments which should be concentrated at Morehead City. This is an intelligent way of handling the problem of superintending two installa tions. The unintelligent way would be to attempt to divide everything in half. Obviously the problem becomes ridiculous if we add a third port to the muddled picture. We sincerely hope that Mr. Keziah will not accuse us of being unduly prejudiced against Bruns wick county if we make bold to wish that Sunny Point remains simply an ammunition depot for the Army. It is estimated that this operation alone will give the county a $1 million per month payroll to fight for, and this seems like a reasonable bounty for the fair folk of Brunswick. Added Impetus Governor Umstead has the right antidote to South Caro lina's passing of our own state in per capita income last year. Asked about this development, which leaves the Old North State 45th among all the states of the union, at last week's press conference, the chief executive, while expressing belief that there were migrating factors which made the situation not as meaningful as it appeared, saw little point to offering explan ations. Rather he stressed the positive approach. The answer is for North Carolina to bestir itself about its own industrial growth and agricultural diversification. Part of this increased effort on our part presupposes study of the factors which enter into the Palmetto State's acceler ated development and application of the findings to our own strengthening. While our sister state registered a substantial industrial expansion, with emphasis on the Savannah River H-bomb project, its farm income was also stepped up sharply. That can mean only one thing, improved farming methods and farm produce distribution, greater emphasis on diversification and particular attention to livestock. It is in this latter area that our own economic weakness has been most sharply re flected. South Carolina's superior showing could not have 'ome at a better time, if come it had to. It arouses our pride, develops a wholesome rivalry which is good for any cause and assures greater interest than ever in the industrial expansion program which Governor Umstead has launched as a foremost objective of his administration. As neighbor and as part of the South, thus sharing in the region's benefits wherever they may be, we in North Carolina are happy over our sister state's progress. But meanwhile it certainly gives added impetus for doing more about our own. We in the South are going forward together but North Caro lina does aim to retain its wonted place in the forefront of this progress. In a way, we can once more say thank God for South Carolina for urging us on. ?From the Greensboro Daily News Road Builder of the '2&% In the early twenties road building was in its infancy. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and a few other large states were devoting some attention to the needs of the rapidly ex panding motor traffic, But in other paits of the country little was being done. In the South road building was largely a matter of county concern. In 1921. however. North Carolina startled the South and the nation by deciding to issue $65,000,000 in bonds for road construction purposes. The author aYid sponsor of this enter prise was Governor Cameron Morrison, who has just died in Quebec where he was on vacation. "Cam" Morrison, as he was known in his own State, had a long and somewhat checkered political career. Mr. Morrison's real claim to fame, however, rests on the fact that at a time when other states were fumbling the prob lem he launched North Carolina on a bold road construction program. At a time when the rest of the South was still hesita ting, he struck out with a big, Imaginative plan. It enabled North Carolina to get out of the mud and it started a series of bond issues some of which are of a recent date. North Carolina has had a big State debt as a result of this borrowing. Other states, like Virginia, which adopted a pay-as-you-go road plan, have escaped the debt burden. But North Carolina has enjoyed a rapid and prosperous growth which has enabled it to meet its obligations without serious difficulty, and many a Tar Heel citizen will think back gratefully to what Cam Morrison did to start the State's modern highway system. ? From the Baltimore Evening Sun Causeway Street Numbers We had occasion the other day to attempt to find someone living on the Causeway between Beaufort and Morehead City. A system of street names and numbers would certainly help a lot of people. Perhaps a good name for the highway on the Causeway would be Neutral Boulevard.

G. Rogers Andre Maurois, born in 1885, always wanted to be a writer but, sold on the idea that a business career would give him the back ground for it, he went to work for his father, a woolen manufacturer, in his native Iflbeuf, France. As a young man in World War I, Maurois became an interpreter for the British - French armies. There he wrote a novel called "Les Silences du Colonel Bramble," and this story of English life did a great deal to interpret the ways of the British to the French. He has since become well known in the United States, not only through his novels and biographies but alto through lecture tours which included guest professor ships at Yale and Princeton. Dur ing World War II he wrote two books on "Tragedy in France" and "Why France Fell" that did much to explain France's plight tor Brit ish and American readers. His latest biography, just published, is called "Lelia" and is the story of George Sand. From the Bookshelf Rather than reviewing some of the latest releases from the publishing houses, this week's column will be devoted to a listing of the new volumes purchased for the county library in Beaufort. The list has been released by Mrs. Paul Woodard, county librarian. Many of these books have already been reviewed in this column, anc others will be reviewed in the near fuiirrc. All of them make excellent additions to the fine stock of books already on the shelves of the library. ADULT NON-FICTION: Tropi cal Fishes as Pets, Christopher W.

Both are three centers. The Sagamore Hill stamp will be placed on first day sale Sept. 14. The Future Farmers arrives on the philatelic scene Oct. 13. Sagamore Hill, home of Theo dore Roosevelt, is today a shrine to the 26th President of this coun try. Located in Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sagamore Hill is visited by many people who wish to pay homage to the fiery leader of the Rough Rid ers. The overall design of the stamp portrays Sagamore Hill. In the lower border is the wording "Home of Theodore Roosevelt." First day cover and cachet col lectors can purchase specially de signed envelopes with first day stamps for 25 cents by sending their requests directly to Saga more Hill, Oyster Bay, N. Y. The proceeds of this service will go to the upkeep of Sagamore Hill. Regular first day covers can be obtained through the Postmaster at Oyster Bay, N. Y. THE FUTURE FARMERS of America issue commemorates the 25th anniversary of this organiza tion. The central design depicts a typical farm with rolling hills in the background. In the central foreground is a> young farmer, pitchfork in hand, viewing the ter rain. The emblem of the Future Farmers of America is displayed on the back of the youth. Stamp collectors desiring first day covers of this adhesive may send their envelopes to the Post master, Kansas City, Mo., with money order remittance to cover the cost of the stamps to be af fixed prior to Oct. 13. The color of this stamp will be blue. DENMARK has been a kingdom for more than 1,000 years. To commemorate its long existence as a sovereign nation under the crown, the Danish postal authorities have issued the first in a special series of 10 stamps. It is a 10 ore green showing the broadside of the great lelling Runic Stone.

Small fishermen were asking the State Fish commission to repeal the new law, allowing fishing by pound netq within 400 yards of the shore; asking that such fishing not be allowed within four miles of Beaufort anfi Bogue inlets. The state board of welfare con firmed the appointment of J. Wal lace Mason as county superinten dent. TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO A Labor day celebration was planned at Atlantic Beach. Among the features would be a Stutz car racing and trying to break its own record. A plea was made in the Beau fort News, now the' Carteret county News-Times, to save the elms on Ann street, Beaufort. Stephen Gillikin of Morehead City would soon move his wood working shop into a new build ing being erected at Evans and Uth street, Morehead City. TEN YEARS AGO Mr. Fred King and his Beaufort school band officially opened the year for Beaufort graded school. Harry Tyler, army corps, who had been promoted to Master Ser geant. was awarded the Oak Leaf Cluster. Fire destroyed the Harvey Smith's cadillac when the Smiths were driving back to Beaufort from New Jersey. FIVE YEARS AGO County officials postponed the opening of schools until Oct. 1 because of the polio epidemic. The proposed sale of the A & EC railroad to a New York firm had been cancelled. Two new housing units were be ing planned for Morehead City. One would be at 28th street and highway 70 and the other just west of the Cainp Glenn school. Sou easter By Captain Henry I often wonder if the folks realize what nerve wracking existences the town clerks of Beaufort and More head City are forced to lead. Not only are they at the beck and call of the citizens but they also have to keep "building their fences" so they won't get thrown out of their jobs. I^ast election in Morehead I hear that John Lashlcy went home and hid while the ballots were be ing counted and stayed hid until Hooty Waters phoned him about 11 p.m. and said: "John, it's all O.K. now. You can come out oi the woods." Dan Walker is facing a crisis next Beaufort town election, (ilenn Adair, who wasn't reappointed po lice commissioner, told Walker straight to his face: "I'm going to get you." But I've found, and you've found, that the guy you're mad at today you are likely to be friends with tomorrow. And when you do get back friends again it makes you realize you shouldn't have been mad in the first place. As my friend the Admiral is always saying, don't judge your fellow man. Another one picked up about John is this. At the first meeting of the newly elected Morehead commissioners John was reappoint ed city clerk. And right after the boys had done that and John had a chance to expell his held breath, he an nounced ofi-handedly that the town had received two other appli cations for his job. He said: "I guess there's no sense your reading them now." John Memakis played host to a lot or yachtsmen and yachtsladies the night of Barbara. He let them sleep away the night in his Busy Bee restaurant. St. Paul's printed church pro gram some few Sunday's ago had this: "The flowers on the Altar today arc presented to the glory of Cod.'" The publisher passed on this story to me from his friend Earle Mobley who ably represents Car teret in tho assembly: Seems the Camden county repre sentative, big, pleasant, bald Wil bert Forbes, who's a considerable farmer up that way, introduced just one bill last session. It was a bill to permit bear hunting in Camden all year round. Bears have been eating Wilbert's corn. Wilbert's no speech maker. While a big. easy voice in casual company, he's a void from the ros trum. On final reading the Speaker ma liciously called on Wilbert, in front of all the chair lounging solons, to explain his bill. Busily whispering nonsense to a colleague at the time. Wilbert had to be prodded to hear the challenging call from the chair. Aghast he stood up and gulped: "Bill doesn't need no explalnin'." The bill passed with a unani mous roar. Now, all year round in Camden you can hear bear guns roar. The Readers Write TV* ?!*? P^i(nr* In nut in cinrm cnuiorc ac tnnn a a I was uftable to attend the town board meeting last Thursday night but being a resident of 2200 Fisher street, I would like to thank the three commissioners which made such an effort to remove the frogs, mosquitoes, and filth from this block. The three commissoincrs which I would like to thank per sonally are D. J. Hail, Dr. John Morris and Ted Garner. They took out time from their business to help the people in this block who were suffering more than any other part of town from the storm. They made arrangements for tem porary relief and have promised weather conditions will permit to do so. I feel like that something will be done as soon as possible. I believe they will do all they can for I have always found them to be reliable men and can depend on what they say. I think if the town budget is too small to do something as ne cessary as this, tearing up the budget and passing an ordinance outlawing storms, and rainfall would not help any as I personally think that God's will shall be done regardless of what our City Fathers think.

BirtKpUcc of WOODKOW WllSONll; In Staunton, V?? is an old house, erected in 1845, as the Manse ot the First Presbyterian church, of which Woodrow Wilson's father was pastor. The Manse is a large, square building of gray-painted brick and is of Greek revival architecture. The portico, which was originally the main entrance, now somewhat altered, faces the beautiful garden in the rear. This garden has been restored and landscaped to conform with its old pattern, by the Garden club of Virginia. The property was purchased in 1931 by Mary Baldwin college and latnr sold to the Com monwealth of Virginia. The Manse, with its garden, is now open to visitors, as a shrine to Wilson.
