W CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES ?? 42nd YEAR, NO. 77. THREE SECTIONS TWENTY PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAVFORT, .NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1953 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS ? ?? B&PW Members Hear Talk On World Peace Program Mrs. Floyd Chadwick and Mrs/t Violet Howard presented a four point program for peace at the Carteret Business and Professional Women's Club meeting Tuesday night. Mrs. Chadwick and Mrs. Howard are club members. Mrs. Chadwick based her talk on the B&PW theme for tHe year, The Ramparts We Build. Peace can come, she said, with international economic stability. This can be brought about by ; 1. Increased world trade 2. Breakdown of trade barriers ' by lowering tariffs and improving trade procedures 3. Development of areas that | have raw materials through Ameri can technical assistance i 4. Purchase by the United States i of more materials abroad. This ? would give other countries United States* dollars which would lessen the need for outright gifts of money by this nation. Nations Envy U.S. ! Mrs. Chadwick reminded the club 1 that many nations are envious of us because of our higher level of living. She stressed the need of United States' buying more foreign products. This would give them > more money so that they in turn could buy from us. She cited the decline in farm exports from this country for the year ending July 31, 1953. People are not buying from us because they don't have the money, she added. As an example of how much United States depends on other parts of the world for raw ma terials, Mrs. Chadwick told of the "Johnson family" who would be un able to use electrical appliances if minerals from other countries were not imported. They would be un able to get prescriptions filled at the druggist's if certain vegetable products were not imported. "World trade and commerce is the answer to peace and goodwill," the speaker said. To illustrate this county's role in commerce, Mrs. Howard gave a re port on imports and exports at the port of Morehead City. "To insure peace," Mrs. Chadwick added, "we must see that the people abroad get food." Concludes with Poem She concluded her tatk with ? poem thai pointed up the need oC keeping strong the home, respect ing the flag, and building the church. The business meeting followed the program. It was conducted by Mrs. Florence Beam, president, who thanked Mrs. J. R. Morrill and the auxiliary of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church for serving the dinner.

' Try on Committee Seeks Colonial Descendants Efforts to locate living descen dants of the colonial legislators who voted tax money to build fab . ulous Tryon's Palace at New Bern in 1767-1770 began to meet wttti succcss recently. Names and addresses of living descendants of members of the North Carolina House of Commons and the Governor's Council, who acceded to the wishes of Royal Governor William Tryon in 1787-68 and voted 10.000 pounds in English money of that period with 'which to start construction of a perma nent State House and official res idencc for the Governor and his family, are sought by a special committee of the Tryon Palace Commission. Tryon's Palace, once regarded as ' "the moat beautiful building in Colonial America." is now being re stored to its one-time eminence through a bequest made by the late Mrs. Maude Moore Latham of Greensboro. Mrs. Latham provid ' ed a truat fund of about $1,290, 000 to be used in restoration of Tryon's Palace. She was a native of New Bern. Reatoration work is proceeding according to plan under director of the Tryon Palace Com fc. mission and the Department o? Conservation and Development, it was said. The State through its Depart ment of Conservation and Develop ment has provided for purchase of land upon which the Palace stood before it burned on the night of February 28, 1798. Only tlie west wing of the Palace was left after the fire. Holley Mack Bell, editor of the Bertie Ledger-Advance which is published at Windsor, has notified the department that several direct descendants of William Gray, who was a member of the House of Commons that voted the initial money for building Try on 's Palace, 1 live in Windsor in the same house in which the early legislator re sided. They are Miss Helen Gillam, who llvna at "Roeefield," the Gray | home; Moses Braxton GiDam Jr., , Bertie county solicitor, his children, , Robert Star and Moses Braxton; , III, and others. I Living descendants of these early I legislators are requested to give < their names aad addresses to Mrs. i Lyman A. Gotten at Chapel Hill. < Welfare Official Urges Approval of Bond Issue Miss Georgie Hughes, superin tendent of the County Welfare De partment, urges Carteret counti ans to vote "yes" on the the bond issue for schools and mental insti tutions. In a statement to the NEWS TIMES Wednesday, Miss Hughes pointed out that the $22 million that will be used for mental insti tutions will go for expansion of the state hospitals and the Caswell Training School, an institution for feeble-minded white children. It will also be used to build another institution for feeble minded white youngsters and one for the Negro feeble-minded chil dren. Admitted to Caswell from Car teret County recently were two mentally defective children, Miss Hughes reported, but because of crowded "conditions, they were on the waiting list for a year. In this county at present are 10 colored children who should be in a school for the mentally defective, says Miss Hughes. There are also 10 aid-to-dependent-children cases which would not be "ADC" if the children were in an institution, she added. Miss Hughes recalled a Carteret County case of several years ago which involved a white man living with a colored girl. She said that the colored girl was feeble-minded and should have been placed in an institution when she was a child. Lack of space made placement im possible. Miss Hughes cited another case in a county where she once worked. A child was feeble-minded, but with the exception of his legs, his body was developed normally. When he reached adulthood, he was so strong that he was tied jn a chair constantly except when his father was about the house. The boy should have been in an insti tution, said Miss Hughes, but there was no room for him. The welfare superintendent said approval of the bond issue is imper ative if facilities are to be provided for the caree of the feeble-minded and the insane. North Harlowe Distillery Center Receives Setback Joy Juice Valley in North Har-4 lowe, which has been working over time to supply moonshine for the World Series in New York, was hit hard by a raid early Tuesday morning. Law enforcement officers from Craven County, the state ABC agency, and the federal Treasury Department destroyed a flourishing stiU Tuesday morning and arrested its four Negro operators. Their haul included 78 gallons of North Hariowc's pride ready for shipment north and 1,400 gallons of mash ready to be distilled With that much corn on hand, the re markable Mimg is that the officers didn't get wind of the outfit earlier. Given a preliminary hearing in New Bern, Alexander Godette, Earliss Barrett, Oliver Monroe Fra zier and Alvin Bryant pleaded guil ty to charges of running an illegal distillery and were freed under bonds of $300 apiece. They will be tried at the October term of East ern District Federal Court in New Bern. Officers who made the raid were Elliott Bennett and C. C. Churchill of the Alcoholic Tax Unit of the Treasury Department and J. K. Clay of the State ABC unit. According to conservative esti mates by experienced law enforce ment officers, there are at least 20 stills turning out Craven County whisky in the North Harlowe area at the present time. The officers report that the biggest demand for the moonshine comes from the New York area in general and Brooklyn in particular. With the Yankees and Dodgers squaring off soon in the annual World Series, the de mand for North Harlowe corn has been booming. During the autumn months of the year, law enforcement agen cies use planes frequently to spot stills since the loss of tree foliage as the season advances makes it easier to examine the ground ter rain. In the spring and summer months, tree foliage makes it very difficult to spot the illegal dis tilleries. Club Hears Rotary Fellow Twenty-year-old Clarence Am mons, Rotary Fellow recently re turned from Switzerland, told Beaufort Rotarians Tuesday night of his year of study abroad. Mr. Ammons studied interna tional law and political theory at the university at Geneva. Follow ing service with the N*vy, he ex pects to enroll in the law cchoofr at Chapel Hill. The young student told the Ro tarians that personal contact with students and the average American citizen is one of the most valuable channels for promoting United States in European countries. For the most part they get their impressions of the United States from the American sailor, Ameri can tourists, and American movies. "Actually the major part of our giving has been the almighty American dollar," Mr. Ammons said. He showed several Russian prop aganda magazines he obtained while visiting in Vienna. As a Ro tary Fellow he traveled as well as studied. He went to France and Italy and during a six-week Rotary tour through England and Scotland he spoke to Rotary clubs. Mr. Ammons' home is at Red Springs, N. C. He was introduced to the club by President Gene Smith. Visitors at Tuesday's meeting at the Inlet Inn were Ellis Diselsen, Raleigh, and Dr. John Morris, Del fido Cordova and Stamey Davis, all of Mo'rehead City. Next week's program will fea ture Dr. David Farrior who willl speak on the current third-dimen sion craze.

Conner Jr. was the only one charged with assault. Solicitor Gene Smith called Mr. Davis to the stand. Mr. Davis said hat on the evening of Sept. 14 (Monday a week ago) he went to Lon Willis's dock oji Front street where the Bonner L. Willis, a men laden boat, and the J. K. Gillikin, i shrimper, were tied up. He told the court he asked Bon ier Sr. to return "some equipment" lie had loaned them, adding that he had other use for the equipment. Mr. Davis said that in reply Mr. Willis started cursing him, saying lhat I had "stolen1' some of his shrimp and that 1 didn't know how lo run my business. Comments on Profanity "I've been around the world and met up with some pretty bad characters but I never heard any ?ursing like that," Mr. Davis told the court. He reported that Bonner Jr. fol lowed him to the dock (Mr. Davis had gone aboard the Bonner L.) and struck him once on the shoul flcr with his fist. He testified that Bonner Jr. was cursing too. Under cross examination by C. R. Wheatly, attorney lor the Willises, Mr. Davis said that he wanted his shrimp boards, try nets, gas tanks and similar gear that he had lent the Willises. The morning of that day Mr. Davis said that Bonner Sr. had asked him if Levi Beveridge was a good maker of trawl doors and :Mr. Davis rcpherf that he was. Hi told Mr. W heady that *9 V died telling Bonner Sr. thit the Willises could use hia doors until he got some of their o*n made. Second Witness Called Norval Kirk, the second witness for the state, said that he was aboard the Bonner L. and saw ; Charles Davis board the boat. He said he heard Charles ask for the doors and heard a lot of prafanity but that he had walked up to the bow of the boat and couldn't say who said what. Mr. Davis was called back to the stand and testified that the Willises were cursing so loudly that anyone within 100 feet of the boat could have heard them. The state rested its case and Mr. Wheatly called his first witness, Bonner Sr., to the stand. Captain Bonner said he was 66 years old and suffered from heart trouble. The morning of the 14th he said, "I met Charles and asked him if he'd sell me his boards. I told him I'd get a set made and bring his back to his dock." The witness said that the shrimper, the J. K. Gillikin was tied up next to the Bonner L. on the channel side and that it was worked under Bonner Jr.'s direc tion. He added that Mr. Davis said he needed the boards for a boat he was fixing up at Harkers Island.

The tobacco is coming from the plants of Eastern North Carolina exporters in Greenville and Kin ston. This will mark the second load of tobacco to be shipped through the port this year. In May 2.619 hogsheads of to bacco were shipped out of the port aboard the Ludolf Oldendorff for German cigarette manufacturers. About 3.200 hogsheads will be shipped to Germany on the MS Gloria in October. J. D. Holt, manager of the port also announced this week that the stevedoring firm of Stevenson and Young has decided to close its op eration at the local port terminal. "Stevenson and Young directors have informed me," Mr. Holt said, 'that they feel they cannot con tinue to gamble on the Morehcad City operation in the light of the reorganization of their firm in Nor folk and New York." Harold Stev enson, long time president of the firm, died soon after the firm came to Morehead City. Prior to his death Mr. Stevenson expressed his confidence in the possibilities of Morehead City many times in public. The board of directors of the firm in closing the operation, assured Mr. Holt that they felt the port has a good potential but they could not face a period of deficit operation on the stevedoring at the present time. Stevenson and Young has ap proximately $75,000 worth of steve doring equipment at the pot;t some of which will be removed and some will be sold. in commenting on tne stevedor ing situation at the local port, Mr. Holt expressed the hope that some other company may be interested in operating at the port. "The labor situation has improved enough over the start that another company wotold have a good chance of success," he said. Stevenson and Young reported decreasing los ses on each of the ships they hand led at the port. Mr. Holt pointed out that the port would be placed in a very bad position for the future if another stevedoring firm found it impossible to make money dis charging and loading ships with local labor at the port. The loading of the tobacco ship Oct. 15 will mark the second ex port cargo in the history of the port. Most informed business opinion in the state holds that the future of the port lies with the development of tobacco exports and fertilizer imports. In recent weeks attempts have been made to obtain financing for the construction of tobacco storage warehouses so that North Carolina's ports would be in a competitive po sition for tobacco exports with the port at Norfolk. Nothing definite has been decided by the State Ports Authority directors on this matter. Catholic Group Sponsors Benefit Movie Shows Members of the Holy Name So ciety of St. Egbert's Catholic Church have arranged for a series of benefit movie performances, it was announced this week.
