W CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES '?< 42nd YEAR, NO. 74. TWO SECTIONS TEN PAGES . MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1953 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS Ports Will Be in the Black By 1955, Gillette Reports From the N. C. State Ports Au-* thority today came the prediction that the multi-million dollar marine terminals at Wilmington and More head City would be showing a small operating profit or at least break ing even by 1955. "If we achieve that goal we will have accomplished an objective few other state port authorities or harbor commissions have ever at tained," Executive Director G. W. Gillette observed. "The over-all operating loss of $132,612.74 shown by the state audi tor's report for our terminals for the past fiscal year reflected a de preciation on the $7,000,000 prop erties of $141,581.02, just as it should," Mr. Gillette said. "Our operating revenues of $221, 978.93 included $97,789.66 derived from state appropriations, but at year's end we were able to return $13,759.90 of appropriated funds to the state treasury. Each year since SPA was created, unspent and re turnable state funds have amount ed to from $10,000 to $35,000. It should also be noted, however, that the state-owned terminals do not pay state or federal taxes which private operators would be re quired to do," he continued. The profit and loss statement of North Carolina's deep sea docks and terminals does not in any way reflect the "sizable profits which these public marine facilities have made possible for private industry or the savings they have permitted to the consumer of imported agri cultural and industrial commodi ties," the director emphasized. One of the most profitable op erations at a terminal is stevedor ing which involves the unloading of cargo from ships. "The state ports are not in competition with established private industrial ser vices, and private stevedoring firms are often paid three times as much for unloading cargo at our docks as the terminals are paid for ac commodating the ships and the shipment with wharfage, storage and warehouse handling," the di rector pointed out. That is largely true also of freight forwarding and distribution from the terminals. "It is small comfort that we are not alone in failing to show an op erating profit for the first year of operation," he said. "The Port Au thorities of South Carolina, Vir ginia, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and even New York, where state appropriations are very much heavier than in North Carolina, all show an operating deficit while constantly improving their facili ties and increasing services to for eign and domestic commerce and industry. Although the Port of Charleston had for the first time an operating revenue in excess of See PORTS, Page 2 Clinic Received 54 on Saturday Fifty-four persons attended the orthopedic clinic at the Morehead City Hospital annex Saturday morn ing. The clinic is sponsored by the Morehead City Rotary Club in co operation with the Crippled Chil dren's League and the State Board of Health. Members of the staff were Dr. Lennox B. Baker, orthopedic sur geon, Dr. S. J. Cordey, Dr. I. L. Goldncr; Miss Lily Fentress of the crippled children's section of the State Board of Health; Miss Annie Parrish, physical therapist; H. A.

Mr. Windell reported that five X-rays were taken. The next clinic will be held Sat urday morning, Oct. 10. Harlowe Child Killed By Auto Thursday Lee Thomas Fisher, three-year old Harlowe Negro child, died in the arms of his father enroute to the Morehead City hospital Thurs day night after he was hit by an automobile. 1 No charges were preferred against William A. Berry, Negro, who was driving the car. The high way patrol reported following its investigation that the youngster ran in front of the automobile as it was passing the Fisher home. According to hospital reports the child suffered a broken neck, knees and ankles. The accident hap pened in Craven county. Frank Leonard Must Sell Property, Judge Says Judge Q. K. Ni mocks, Jr., Fay etteville, has ruled that Frank Leonard, 1200 Arendell St., More head City, must sell his property at 1200 Arendell, to Dr. B. F. Royal and W. C. Matthews of Morehead City. The selling price is $10,500. A suit, Dr. B. F. Royal and W. C. Matthews vs. Frank Leonard, came up before the Superior Court of Carteret County in December 1951. At that time is was agreed that the judge should study the case and render a decision later. The judge found that on Dec. 6, 1950 Mr. Leonard "in his admitted handwriting" delivered to his real estate agents, C. H. Freeman and C. L. Stanley, a notice giving them the right to sell a three-apartment house, furnished, double lot, and garage (lots 1 and 2 in Morehead City). He said in this notice, ac cording to the judge's findings, that the property could be sold by the real estate agents within 30 days from Dec. 6, 1950 for $10,000. Judge Nimocks further found that on Dec. 12, 1950 the real es tate agents sold the property to Dr. Royal and Mr. Matthews for $10,500, five hundred dollars more than Mr. Leonard asked. At that time, according to the judge's findings, Mr. Leonard said he could not deliver a deed because of a pending divorce which would be granted in January 1051. Judge Nimocks found that Mr. Leonard, in writing on Dec. 15, said he would sell his property as soon as he could give a bona fide deed and that would be about Jan. 15, 1951. Judge Nimocks said that after February 1951 and the obtaining of the final divorce decree, Mr. Leon ard ordered his real estate agents to prepare a deed transferring title. The judge found, however, that the defendant refused to execute the deed, saying he had gone into bankruptcy. Action to force Mr. Leonard to continue with and conclude the transaction was started by Dr. Roy al and Mr. Matthews April 17, 1951 Jaycees Press Bond Sale For New Athletic Field Five Wills Filed At Courthouse Wills filed recently with the clerk of superior court, Beaufort, are those of C.

" The Morehead City Jaycees sold 12 of their bonds for improvements to the new athletic field at Camp Glenn last week. Walter S. Morris, chairman of the bond promotion committee, reported today. Last week's sales brought the to tal number of bonds sold to 41. The club is trying to sell 80 of the five-year, $100 bonds to pay for the improvements. Mr. Morris reported that it was necessary that all of the bonds be sold. "The cost of the lights, new bleachers and other work at the field will be more than $8,000 and we must sell these bonds to raise the money," he said. During last week a special cam paign was started by the club. The Jaycees have already used $1,500 from their beauty pageant funds to pay pressing bills incurred at the athletic field. The new field was used for the first time last Friday night when Morehead City High School defeat ed Swansboro by a score of 20-0. A delay by the contractor last week meant that the light installation was not complete until just before game time. Final adjustments on the switches were made between 7:30 and 8 o'clock. The bonds will be paid off large ly through the revenues of conces sion stands at the field which are operated by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. This is the only source of revenue the club has at the ath letic field. The new lights at the field give eight times the light which was available at the old field. Spec tators, players and officials com mented on the vastly improved lighting conditions which led to easier playing conditions for the football teams. Mr. Morris said that the club was continuing its efforts to sell the bonds and any individual or busi ness firm desiring to purchase a bond should contact a member of the Jaycees. All gate receipts at the games go to special athletic funds controlled by school officials. Future plans for additions at the field include concession stands, more bleachers and an improved playing turf. Portsmouth Asks County to Call Stock Law Vote 14 of 15 Eligible Voters Send Petition Before County Board Fourteen out of the fifteen quali fied voters at Portsmouth have ask ed the Carteret County Board of Commissioners to call an election for a stock law in their township. T. T. Potter of Beaufort present ed the petition to the board yester day morning at its regular monthly meeting. The banks were exempted from a general state stock law passed in the past requiring all cattle owners to keep their stock fenced in. At the present time, Mr. Potter told the board, cattle are molesting the homes and residents of Portsmouth and creating a health hazard. Most of the cattle on the island are owned by non-residents, it was pointed out. The matter was re ferred to the county attorney, Al vah Hamilton Sr., so that he may check the state laws on elections in districts and townships. Pest Control Group The board also passed a resolu tion allowing the Carteret County Pest Control Commission to solicit funds from private sources for mos quito control and authorizing the county auditor, James Potter, to handle the funds of the commis sion and act as its treasurer. Phillip K. Ball, a leader in the formation of the pest control group, told the board that E. G. McKinley of Morehead City, a government entomologist at Cherry Point, has been made chairman of the com mission. Dr. K. P. B. Pi .. ier, chairman of the board oi commissioners, ex pressed the opinion that the com mission was following a sensible method in seeking private dona tions for its work in controlling mosquitoes and other pests. Last month the pest control group headed by its temporary chairman, Dr. G. C. Cooke, asked the county commissioners for a first year appropriation of $18,000 for the work. The county officers made it clear that there was no hope of getting an appropriaUM i from the county. * jail inadequate Irvin W. Davis, secretary to the board, read a letter from T. A. Early, state jail inspector, on the condition of the county jail. The jail was described as generally in adequate in size, maintenance and supervision. The county received permission from the last General Assembly to hold an election on a proposed $50,000 bond issue to build a new jail. Gene Smith presented a petition for a road from highway 70 to North River east of Beaufort, and Sheriff C. G. Holland presented a petition from Highland Park resi dents asking that the remainder of the roads there be taken onto the state system. C. D. Mann offered to pay $100 of his delinquent taxes yesterday and the balance in a few months, and the board voted not to have his property sold at auc tion. ? At the end of the meeting jury lists were drawn. In addition to Dr. Bonner, commissioners Moses Howard, Walter Yeomans, Tilden Davis, and E. H. Potter were present. Case Continued Continued for the second time in Morehead City Recorder's Court yesterday was the case against James Howland, Morehead City. Howland is charged with attempt ing to set fire to the Beauty Nook, Shepard street, Morehead City. He was arrested Sept. 2 and re leased under $1,000 bond.

He said that he blew the horn to warn the man of his approach. At the sound of the horn, Leffers ap parently became confused and dashed across the bridge directly in front of Guthrie's car. Guthrie said that he was unable to stop in time to avoid I^effers. Guthrie admitted to Patrolman Smith that he was traveling at more than 20 miles per hour across the bridge. Surviving are a son. Sam. a sister, Mrs. Marvin Pigott, both of Straits, and a granddaughter.

Sutton, president, Md the pow er company's board of directors re cently. The industrial potential of the coastal area holds a bright future, Mr. Sutton continued. By 1058, he predicted the firm's investment in the old Tide Water area would total more than $40 million. The directors met in Wilmington to take a firsthand look at the 300, 000-horse power steam plant the company is building there. The board also toured other industrial sites, both developed and undevel oped in the Wilmington area. Reviewing the recent growth of the utility, Mr. Sutton said that $100 million had been spent since the end of the war to satisfy the growing demand for electricity and that another $100 million will be spent by 1958. It was the second time in the company's history that it's direc tors met outside company head quarters in Raleigh. During the meeting the directors declared a .quarterly dividend of $1.25 per share on preferred stock and 50 cents per share on common stock.

French People Enjoy Life "The French people really know bow to live. They enjoy life to the utmost!" Those words are Just a few that reveal Miss Helen Paul's impres sions of France where she spent the summer. Miss Paul, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Halaey Paul, Beau fort, went abroad as one of 11 stu dents participating in "Experi ment in International Living." She lived with the Carteron fam ily at St. Etienne in the province of Loire, southern France. Three of the seven weeks in France in cluded a bicycle tour of the Py renees and the Basque country. "I believe that was the most thril ling part of the whole ^moer," says Helen. She?thinks so in spite of the fact that she hurt her ankle when the bike brakes would n't work and as a result had to go to Biarritz by bus. There she got stranded and stayed all night in a train station Trains weren't running at the time, because of a strike, so the man in charge said she could stay in the station when he locked up at night. There the rest of the party picked her up the next day and they went on their way together. Helen left this country July 1 aboard (he Grootebeer and re turned by plane, arriving here Thursday. Also aboard the Groote beer was another Carteret County girl. Hiss Laura Davis, daughter of Hr. and Hrs. Ernest Davis. "We were the only two south ern girls on shipboard," Helen laughingly reports. "All the rest were Yankees and whenever we opened our mouths we had an audi ence!" Helen was told she was the first girl from the South to partici pate in the "Experiment in Inter national Living" project. 8he will enroll at Wake Forest for her sen ior year on Thursday. Majors la French She ia majoring in French and hopoa to teach when she graduates.

Television, for example, exists only in the very biggest cities. In the immediate Carteron fam ily there were six, the mother, fath er, and four children. One son serves with the Army in Africa and two of the daughters had studied in England and are profesaors of English. The fourth son was getting ready to go to "college," which in France if a school more comparable U> our high schools than our colleges. The Carterons were not allowed to speak English to Helen. "Ev eryone speaks some English over there. They were very surprised to learn that people in my family could not speak French." For recreation then were no ?uch things as movies.

Morse. 24. son of+ ? Mrs. Emma K. Simpson of More head City, route 1, docked at San Francisco Sunday following his re lease from a North Korean pris oner of war camp. He was released from the camp during the last week in August. He was the second Carteret County soldier to be freed. Sgt. Archie Edwards, son of Mr. and Mrs. Pres ton Edwards, was included in the first group exchanged and is now at the Camp Lejeune hospital. Sgt. Morse's physical condi tion was reported to be fairly good following almost 33 months in the prison camp. He was captured Dec. 1, 1950 after having been in Korea almost since the beginning of the figiiting. Mrs. Simpson received a tele gram from her son soon after his release saying he was in good con dition. She has not seen her son since April, 1949 just before he went to Japan for occupation duty. Mrs. Simpson said that her son was declared missing in action in December 1950 and that she heard nothing more about him until De cember 1951 when his name was included on the list of prisoners broadcast by the Chinese com munists. In January 1952, Mrs. Simpson and her daughter, Mrs. Pearl Aus tin, received letters from Sergeant Morse. Since that time they have received about seven letters from him. It was not until after com paring these letters with others written before his capture that the government officially listed him as a prisoner. Mrs. Simpson said that only Mrs. Austin's faith that her brother was alive had kept her going during the long months since Sergeant Morse was declared missing. She said that her daughter never gave up her belief that her younger brother would come home. Before joining the Army in No vember 1947, Sergeant Morse was a student at Morehead City High School.

Mickey Ward, forester for the International Paper company, told the commissioners yesterday that he had been able to raise $350 in private donations for the forest program. The board then voted to make up the difference between the donations and the state's re quest for $2,555. The matter has been discussed at every meeting since June. The budget this year was set up to allot $1,800 for the county's share of the forest service budget. Each county in the state is as sessed a certain percentage of the total forest service budget based on the county's total valua tion. When the county's valuation went over $20 million, the percent^ age share of the forest budget was automatically jumped from 30 tc 35 per cent. II. J. Green, district forestei from New Bern, pointed out to the commissioners that the same amount of money would be spent ir the county for forest protection this year as last. State and feder al agencies make up the remain' ing 65 per cent of the budget, a During the discussion of the for est service budget. Mr. Ward tolc the commissioners that one pulp company had refused to make i donation on the ground that it wat a bad precedent to set. Mr. Ward asked if there was an) possibility of "a reappraisal oi property to raise tax revenues" sc that companies would not be askec/ to make donations. He said tha a revaluation had been made ir Pamlico County and " we arc quite pleased with the results." Following this comment the board members discussed thr possi bility of a revaluation. This sub | ject has come up at most recen sessions of the board and there i:! a growing awareness of the need! according to some members. "W. need this," Dr. K. P. B. Bonner chairman, said, "but public sentij ment opposes employing a f outside the county to make the valuation." : nam- nr. uonncr said mat uh solution to the timber problen might be a severance tax paid o timber after it is cut. "A genei al revaluation might not be necea sary." he commented. Discussing the donations, Ml Ward said that his firm felt "to much was at stake to allow the pre gram to drop. We are willing U do whatever we can but won't car ry the whole burden." The $35 represents $200 from the Interna tional Paper Company and $15* from Scarboro-Safrit Company o Beaufort. The North Carolina Pull Company refused to make a dc nation, and Miss Gcorgina Yeat man has not decided, Mr. War? said. He reported that Miss Yea man said she thought last yea was the end of the donation systev in the county. Moses Howard of Newport, com missioner, [tainted out that the do nation system was inadequate am expressed the hope that anothe method of raising funds for th necessary service could be found. E. H.
