NEWS-TIMES OFFICE 504 Arandall St Morehead City PkoM 6-4175 CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES ?? 42nd YEAR. NO. 71. THREE SECTIONS EIGHTEEN PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1953 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS L. 14 ShiPs PortK?ew Maneuvers On Navy ??,u The first part of a joint Navy-' Marine Corps training exercise in the Caribbean area brought ships, marines and Navy personnel to Morehead City in great numbers this week. C. P. Fessant, assistant manager of the state port terminal, reported today that a total of 14 ships will be loaded at the terminal by Sat urday night. This is an advance lift of 1,400 men and supplies to pre pare for the maneuver in the Vieques-Roosevelt Roads area near Puerto Rico. Later in the month 7,500 men with a task force will leave for the area and the principal part of the training exercise. Participating in the extensive maneuvers are units from the ma jor air and ground units of Fleet Marine Force. Atlantic. Backbone of the outfit will be the Eighth marines, reinforced by other units of the Second division, and air sup porting units from Cherry Point and Miami. For the first time in the history of the movements through the Morehead City port terminal, the Navy is not using Inlet Island for purposes of loading LST's. Former ly these large transports ran their bows up to the island and lowered ramps up which tanks and other vehicles were driven into the ship. During this movement and later ones, the Navy has constructed a ramp and pontoon bridge down from the short section of the old dock so that all the loading of transports is being conducted from the docks of the port terminal. An additional innovation, which explains the improved traffic sit uation on the highways leading to Morehead City, is the use of LCU's as shuttle boats between Camp Le jeune and the port terminal on the inland waterway. Tanks, trucks and cranes are being transported by water in these vessels and then loaded aboard LST's by the use of second ramp which allows them to be driven off the LCU, up a ramp to the dock, down a ramp across the pontoon bridge and into the LST. The first part of the training ex ercise will consist chiefly of infan try training for ground troops with particular emphasis on air ground coordination. The second part will consist of an amphibious assault against an "enemy" aggres sor force on Vieques, and a three day umpire -controlled problem ashore. Unlike previous Caribbean ma neuvers by elements from Camp Lejeune, this exercise will not be climaxed with an amphibious as sault landing at Onslow Beach. The troops will return to Camp Lejeune in the latter part of No vember. During the two-month period the men will be able to visit San Juan, Puerto Rico, and St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands. Student Numbers Surprise System Carteret county's youngsters went to school in numbers yester day never before approached by the school system on the first day of school. H. L. Joslyn, county su perintendent, reported that 5,037 registered on the first day. On the first day of school in 1952, 4.699 registered and by the end of the tenth day the number had risen to 4,822. Before the end of the year the total enrollment of the school had gone over 5,000. Before the opening of the schools, Mr. Joslyn said the system . was anticipating about 4,70(M,800 ' students on the first day. "We don't mind surprises like this, if we just had teachers and i rooms for the extra students," he ; commented. j The extra large enrollment < means that the system starts the year with a shortage of five teach ers, Mr. Joslyn said. He reported ( that applications for these teachers would be sent off at once but that j the state board of education might , not take action until after the l tenth day. More students are al- , ways added to the enrollment after the first 'day, he continued. The biggest jump came at the Morehead City school, already so over-crowded that two classrooms ' have been rented from the Frank- ' lin Memorial church. On Wednes- ' day 1,149 students jammed into the school as compared with 1,062 on the tenth day last year. The Beau fort total this year on the first day 1 was 950. As an example of how wide spread the increase in enrollment is, Mr. Joslyn pointed out that the Smyrna school reported 40 more students on the first day this year than on the tenth day last year. Wednesday 527 students went to Smyrna compared to 487 at the end of 10 days l(ft year. In spite of the unexpected enroll ment, the schools got under way for the new year in good order, Mr. Joslyn said. On Tuesday the county's 34 high school bus drivers picked up their buses at the Beau fort school and heard a lecture on highway safety. The schools will have a holiday Monday, when the students get one more taste of vacation before the long grind to Thanksgiving and Christmas ge's started. Mr. Joslyn estimated before the opening of school that the county was approximately 20 classrooms short for its anticipated enrollment this year. After Wednesday's regis tration, he asked, "Where will we put them?" Colonial Store Opening Closes Last Pender Unit The newest Colonial store in North Carolina opened yesterday morning at 8:30 in Morehead City and the last Pender store in the state closed its doors for good Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Charles Ortlieb of 1505 Shepard street was the first cus tomer to enter the doors of the new store at 8:30 yesterday morning. Officials of the grocery chain firm here for the opening com mented that the company was mov ing to close all of the Pender stores and replace them with modern Colonial supermarkets. The Colonial chain was created in 1940 when the 295-store Pender chain merged with the 259-store Rogers chain to form the present combine covering eight southeast ern states. The firm's general head quarters are in Atlanta, Ga., and this division of the firm has offices in Columbia, S. C. The new Morehead City store is completely a self-service supermar ket with 19 full-time employees to help customers, keep the shelves filled and run the cashiers desks. Additional part-time help will be employed as it is needed. Inside the air-conditioned build ing there is a 40-foot refrigerated display counter for meats, and a 30-foot locker for frozen foods. There is a total of 4,500 sqaare feet of sales area in the 50 by 129 Chance of Lifetime Sunday for Duffers Carteret county'?

A large parking area has been fixed on the 11th street side of the store which wHl materially aid customers in park ing near the store. The Pender chain was started in Norfolk, Va., in 1901 by David Pender. It grew in Virginia and then he started opening up other stores in southeastern state*. The Rogers stores started in Atlanta around the same time and also spread out over several southern states. Since the merger of the two 'chains in 1940 into Colonial stores the chain has grown into one of the largest of its type. As much as possible the firm is converting all of its stores from counter-type groceries to the mod ern supermarket or self-service store. The opening of the More- , head City store yesterday meant the end of all the counter-type , stores in this state.

Mr. Edwards further pointed out that greater problems than ever before must be dealt with today. He said that our Secretary of Agriculture is asking that a farm policy review be made through all of our farm organizations in an ef fort to determine the type of agri culture program farm people want and need. It goes without question that our farm people are in a bet ter position than anyone else to write their own farm program. mniOCTS meeiwu ine meg|3er*Mp 'renewal commiUte tuJ>?W'l it>*l til is yeer's member ?hip drive be Mmpletrri by Sept. 18.

Wright, one of Carteret's leading farmers, today offered a reward of $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsi ble for libelling him through the United States mail. Within the past two weeks more than 50 persons in the county have received a printed, poorly written jumble of doggerel verse, spread ing false and malicious stories cal culated to damage Mr. Wright's reputation. All of the cards were mailed first class from the Morehead City post office. These cards are printed on strips of poster board eight inches long by three and one-half inches wide. The printing is of the type done professionally by printing shops throughout this country. Mr. Wright has informed the county's law officers of the situa tion and Sheriff Gehrmann Hoi land has started an investigation. The sheriff has also called in in vestigators ot the State Bureau of Investigation for this area and U. S. postal inspectors from the Depart ment of the Post Office have enter ed the case. It was pointed out that the send ing of libellous material through the mails is a violation of one of the most serious federal criminal laws. Such actions are also in vio lation of the state laws forbidding the distribution of libellous ma terial by any manner against a citi zen and resident of the state. Mr. Wright reported that simi lar libel was spread throughout the county several years ago. In giving notice of the $1,000 re ward, Mr. Wright said that it was his intention to prosecute the guil ty party to the full limits of the law. Any person charged with the offense will be tried in county, state and federal courts. Yacht Basin Launches Shrimp Trawler Monday The Morehead City Yacht Basin* launched its first Hatteras-type shrimp trawler Monday afternoon. The boat was a test model for an assembly line the firm will start. R. C. Kirchofer, of Raleigh, pres ident of the yacht basin, said that he was quite pleased with the boat. "We are very happy with the progress of our plans so far," he said. The company is in the process now of constructing a shed under flVKHr ?ach month. Immediately after the launching of the first one, the feel of the second was laid. The yacht basin's venture has aroused a good deal of interest among commercial fishermen and many have been to the plant to see the vessel. Plans are proceeding for the construction of other boats. When the project was first start ed, Mr. Kirchofer said, "We feel there is a big market for a stand ardized, complete shrimp trawler on the east coast." As the trawlers are completed at the yacht basin, a fisherman may step aboard, fill up the fuel tanks and start fishing. Except for fish ing gear, the boats will be com plete before they are delivered to their buyers. The boat which was launched Monday afternoon was 68 feet long. Others in the aeries will run from 55 feet to 75 feet in length. They will be powered with diesel motors. Mr. Kirchofer pointed out that they were standardizing the vessel as much as possible to speed up production and keep the costs down. Firms in Florida and on the Gulf coast have started similar op erations and their plants are hum ming the year-round building the trawlers to meet ap almost inex haustible demand. When the shed is completed and the plant is in full operation, Mr. Kirchofer estimated that the yacht basin would be employing approxi mately 150 men in Its plant. He emphasized that the boats are be ing built of the finest materials throughout. The shed is under construction now and when it is completed the trawler operation will be shifted to it The yard plans to continue its repair facilities for private boats and boats belonging to the govern ment.

New mahogany -pews with white enamel ends were moved into the building in Beaufort this week and the organ was moved from the old church edifice to the new one, so thai services could be held this Sunday. The members of the congrega tion of the church started raising money for the church eight years ago, during the pastorate of the Rev. M. O. Alexander. Ground breaking for the new building was done late in 1951, during the pas torate of the late Rev. Winfrey Davis. The official corner stone laying ceremony will be held Sunday, Sept. 13, but the dedication ser vices for the sanctuary will not be held until the entire building has been paid for. Leaders of the congregation point out that the new anditorium has been paid for, but the educa tional unit has not yet been com pletely gotten out of debt. Halsey Paul is chairman of the building fund committee of the church and the Rev. W. C. Rober son is pastor of the church.

Catholic Drive Opens Tomorrow Members of St. Egbert's Catholic church are expecting nearly 1,000 people to attend their annual fall festival tomorrow night from 7 un til 10 o'clock. The festival marks the opening of a campaign to raise funds for a parochial school. Present plans call for the con struction of an eight-room $50,000 elementary school on the church grounds. Tickets to the festival will be on sale for 25 cents at the gate. The school will be open to Cath olics and non-Catholics, and leaders of the church estimate at least 60 per cent of the student body will be non-Catholic. Religious instruc tion will not be compulsory for non-Catholic students in the school. Leaders in the campaign have said that the decision to build a school before a church was taken in the light of community needs for more school facilities. "A school will be used far more than a church so we decided the best thing to do was to build the school first," one layman said. It was em phasized that the congregation needs a new church building and will try to raise funds in the fu ture for such a building. The festival tomorrow night will be held "rain or shine." In the event of rain the ice cream and cake will be served in cars, but the entertainment will be presented as normal. The Harmaniacs, a popular group of professional musicians now serv ing in the Marine corps and sta tioned at Cherry Point, will be fea tured during the entertainment part of the program. These men postponed a recording date with RCA Victor in New York in order | to donate their services for the festival, it was reported. They had previously won a spot on the Ar thur Godfrey talent Scout tele vision show. * Parking will be* on the church grounds, and if the weather is clear the refreshments will be served and the entertainment presented on the site of the proposed school.

Willises Multiply Since 1790 By Clare M. Cetton How many Willis families were there in Carteret county in 1780? As a matter of fact there were five ?Benjamin. Elisha. Joseph, Reu ben and George. Willis. The first census of the nation was taken by order of Congress in 1790. It was made on the basis of beads of families and lifts the lum ber of slaves they owned. The five Willis families bad 25 children with 14 boys. The census has since stopped listing the heads of families so there is no way of knowing the number of Willis fam ilies now in the county. T1m num ber, however, is certainly much larger than five. These figures are contained la a republication ef the first census which waa issued by tlx Census Bureau in 1908. According to that first report there were only i"K families in the county and a total of 703 slaves. The largest slave holdings were W. 11. Borden 's, who owned 43 I,*. I t. Though there are few native Bor den's still living in the county at the present time, one branch of the family moved to Wayne county and became very prominent. His torians point out that in North Carolina, where the plantation never developed as it did in Vir ginia and the Deep South states, 43 slaves constituted a large amount of wealth. Isaac Hill owned 36 slaves. Among the 376 families in the county, naturally there were many sprinklings of common names, but a brief tabulation of some which are still around and distinctively Carteret shows some interesting facts. The Balls were the largest group in the county at that time with 18 different families. The Stirons. numbered 12 with 10 ' Williatons and 10 Weeks There were nine Wallace families, eight Gillikins. seven Osteaas and Guthrys. Lifting some other Carteret names there war* six Cbadwick families, live -A, families of Pincrs, Pivcrs, Daviscs, and Salteri There were three families each of Sheppards, Dills, Wades, Har kers, Fulahers. and Taylors; two Hamiltons and one Rumley. Since 1790 Carteret county has grown, the Fulahers have changed to Fulchers. the Stirons to Styrons, and the Guthrys to Guthries. The population of the county at that first census was approximately 3.000. The county was a little bit larger than it is now since in 1770 Hat teras and Ocracoke Islands had been added to the county by the General Assembly "forever." Since that time these villages and that part of the banka have become a part of Hyde county. Carteret county was originally much larger than it is now. since Onslow was cut out ol H in 1734 and a part of Cartaret waa added to Jonea in 1779 by the General Assembly which waa meeting in New Ben at that time. . . .. . Officials, Guests See Umstead Cut Ribbon Governor William B. Umstead took the occasion of the opening of the new Morehead City-Atlantic Beach bridge, built with road bond money, to plead for passage of the school and mental hospital bond issue in the October 3 special election. The Governor spoke to nearly 400 people who sweated under a hot noon-day sun at the formal ceremonies opening the new bridge. "North Carolina cannot hope to progress," he said, "without addi iionai scnooi lacimies ana tne siaic* must take its mentally sick people out of the inadequate jail-like fa cilities in which they now suffer." j While North Carolina must strive to keep abreast of new road and bridge needs, he said that school and medical deficiencies require immediate attention and improve ment. From the days of his youth, the Governor said, Morehead City and Atlantic Beach had been his fav orite vacation spot and he was hap py to officiate at the opening of the new $1,300,000 bridge. Harvey Hamilton, jr., presided over the ceremonies. The Kev. 1 Leon Couch, pastor of the First Methodist church. Morehead City, pronounced the invocation. Among the 80 special guests were Brigadier General W. G. Man ley, commandant of the Cherry Point air base, and Major General C. C. Jerome, commanding general of the Second Marine Air Wing. Mayor George W. Dill, the first speaker, said that the concrete and steel bridge represented an im provement as permanent as the progress of Morehead City and this entire area. Alfred B. Cooper, mayor of At- . lantic Beach, said that the bridge assured Atlantic Beach of contin ued growth. Congressman Graham A. Barden devoted the greatest portion of his . brief talk to praise of Governor Umstead. He said that North Caro lina had never had a chief execu tive more devoted to the needs of the poor and rich alike, more con scientious in his aims than Gov ernor Umstead. ' ? V A. n. Graham, chairman of the State Highway commission, said that while the bridge had been built during his chairmanship, cre dit for allocation of funds and en gineering planning should go to former highway commissioner Har gett. Governor Umstead cut the rib bon on the bridge which stretched across the entrance to the concrete span to the accompaniment of pho tographers' bulb flashes. The Morehead City high school band played before the ceremonies and concluded them with the Star Spangled Banner. State Beach Area To Close Tuesday The Fort Macon state park bath ing area will re-open today and re main open through the Labor Day holiday, Daniel W. Jones, park sup erintendent, announced today.
