Police Chief Patents Two of His Inventions Polaroid One-Minute Photo by The News-Times David Willis, grandson of Chief "Lije" Willis, thinks the model car his grandfather made is pretty smooth. The doors are equipped with the new safety device patented by Chief Willis. They won't fly open when given a hard jolt. Thus, explains the chief, people won't get hurt in auto accidents by being thrown out. E. J. Willis, Morehead City's | chief of police, has comc through again with two inventions that have been patented. One is a menhaden fish pumper and the other a mechanism that prevents doors of automobiles from flying open upon impact. He has a model of the pumper | in his bicycle shop on Arendell street. It actually operates, driven by a small gasoline motor. On one side of the mechanism a large in take hose lifts the fish from the net into the top of the pumper. There the water is separated from the fish. The water runs o?t an outlet on the opposite side and the fish go down a chute into the boat, or factory, as the case may be. A small whirling propeller at the bot tom of the chute keeps the fish from jamming up and clogging the mechanism. Chief Willis said that he had to transport the model to Washington for demonstration in order to get the patent. It took him a long time to carry out his idea. Pieces of former fish pumpers lie around the shop, evidences of models that didn't work. The model car, which embodies an invention other than the doors that can't fly open, is 33 'i inches long and at its widest point, the rear bumper, is 15 inches. The chief explains that many highway fatalities are due to per sons being thrown from cars. He says if his invention were put into use, the doors would not fly open, the people would not be thrown out and therefore would have a better chance for survival. | The doors open as. do doors on any car when their handles are pushed. But if knocked open, they go just a few inches before being stopped by the mechanism inven ted by Chief Willis. He has al ready conferred with a representa tive of the Packard automobile in regard to the safety device.

William Douglas Lovic of near Goldsboro has been charged with breaking and entering the home of Jim Downing, Beaufort. He is also charged with drunken driving. Deputy Sheriff Hugh Salter said that Lovic was arrested Saturday afternoon as he was driving along highway 101. Downing, colored watchman at the Morris Fish factory, lives in the cook house there. According to Deputy Sheriff Salter, Lovic en tered the place through the back, took a .22 pistol and approximately $3 in a tobacco sack. Downing came in and saw a man who ran out the back, got in a car and drove off. In the c$r with him was a boy about 13. years of age. Downing ran to the home of Will Dudley, a nearby neighbor. Dudley saw the car as it drove away, got a description and the license num ber, then called Sheriff C. G. Hol land. Sheriff Holland notified Deputy Sheriff Salter who was out on pa trol on highway 24. The deputy sheriff returned to Beaufort imme diately and picked up Dudley. They also took Ben Gibbs along and be fore long, on highway 10T, saw the car they were looking for. Deputy Sheriff Salter stopped the car and took Lovic into cus tody. The sheriff later questioned Lovic and the boy with him. Lovic said that he and the boy, a neighbor's child, came down here to go oystering. The deputy sheriff said Lovic had the tobacco sack with him but th^e was no money in Downing's house. It is believed that Downing's return to his place took Lovic by surprise and Lovic threw the pistol under the house as he ran to get in his car. The boy who said he didn't know what Lovic was doing in the place has been sent back to his homf near Goldsboro. Lovic's brother posted $500 bond to get him out of jail Sunday.

Twelve hundred soggy spectators braved a lashing nor' easter Friday night to watch the Beaufort and Morehead City football teams play the only contest between the two this season. As predicted, Beaufort was unable to cope with their stronger, more experienced opponents and dropped the game 82-0. The game was played in Beaufort on a hold in fine shape fur making mud* pies. Beaufort's "Green Wave" played a spirited game from start to fin ish. Even though they realized they had slight chance of winning the game, every man was in there until the final whistle ? playing | as though they figured the breaks would come their way in a couple seconds. Morehead City's excellent block ing opened the way time and again for high stepping Kemp (Baby)! Wickizer. Even Beaufort rooters admired the well-oiled coordination | of the visiti .g Eleven when Baby , carried the ball. Kain that started about 4 o'clock in the afternoon continued all night and was still coming down with a vengeance when the teams took the field lor the opening kickoff. Beaufort Wins Toss Beaufort won the toss and Co captains Gehrmann Holland and Bobby Davis chose to defend the east goal. Walter Thomas kicked for Morehead City and sent a high ball spiralling down the field where it was returned by Harold Willis 20 yards to the 33-yard line. At tempts by Beaufort's Hal Willis, Murray Pittman and Herbert Ma son to push the pigskin through the Morehead line met with stiff defense. Beaufort was finally forced to kick. A punt bjf Mason to Morehead 's 10-yard line rolled dead. On the next play Jerry Conner picked up 5 yards before being downed by Bobby Davis and Jerry Willis. Banking on their lightning back. Wickizer, Morehead Eagles gave him the ball and for a few brief minutes the Beaufort Sea Dogs managed to stop him. Morehead recovered tfyeir own fumble and made no gain, but on the next play Danny O'Neal picked up 6 yards on a rup around left end it]b 'h'- third play the Beau fori line seemed in collapse. Wick izfcr slipped away like a hot knife through butter and galloped 50 yards to make a Morehead touch down within the first five minutes of the game. He crossed the goal with Beaufort men trailing about six feet behind. Thomas's Kick for the extra point was no good. Pittman returned Morehead 's kick and on the next play Willis went through the center of the line for a 2-yard gain. A pass attempt from Mason to Holland was no good. Passes Fail The Sea Dogs' aerial attack, their one hope against the highflying Eagles, failed sadly. It wasn't help ed any by a slippy ball and the swampy field. Beaufort again was forced to kick and Norman Larkce ran the ball back five yards. That was the beginning of the second touchdown march. Wick izer started off again at a stellar pace but was brought down by Davis. On the next play O'Neal picked up yardage but a 15-yard penalty was called against More head for clipping. Undaunted, the Eagles on the 48 yard line again delegated the pig skin to Wickizer. Twice he was stopped by Ralph Eubanks, Ed Wil lis, Holland, and Kerry Lewis, but the battering Eagles pushed through and Wickizer crossed Beaufort's goal for the second time. The kick for the extra point failed. The first quarter ended as Hol land was returning Thomas's kick. On the next play Willis picked up three yards for Beaufort. But the Sea Dogs could make no gain against the tight Morehead line. Fittman got off a kick to More head's 44-yard line. On the next series of plays Conner carried the ball through center for a 20-yard gain before he was brought down by Jimmie Owens. Penalty Imposed Morehead took a five-yard penal ty for being offsides, but it took more than penalties to stop the Eagles. Conner picked up yardage on a plunge through center. A pass heaved by Bobbie Willis was incomplete. Evidently tired of such slow tac tics, the Eagles "put their money" See EAGLES, Page 3 Tide Table Tl del it Beaufort Bar HIGH LOW | Tuesday, Oct. 12 - 11:15 a m. 4:48 a.m. 11:31 p.m. 5:51 p.m. I Wednesday, Oct. 14 ' 9:37 a.m. | 12:04 p.m. 6:43 p.m Thursday, Oct. 15 12:28 a.m. 6:36 a.m. I 1:02 p.m. 7:41 p.m. Friday, Oct. 1? 1:34 a.m. 7:45 a m ' 2:06 p.m. 8:45 p.m. j Stale Reports On Roads Buiit On Outer Banks The State Highway Commission gave an accounting Thursday of its efforts to provide a paved road on the Outer Banks. Highway Chairman A. II. Gra ham and Commissioner Kmmett Winslow of the First Highway Divi sion said the State has spent about $89(5,000 and done 55 miles of grad ing and paving work down the Outer Banks during the past six years. The totals ipelude the recently completed stretch of road from Whalebound junction to Oregon in let. Road Open The road front Manteo down the Outer Banks to Hatteras is now open to traffic throughout its en tire length, they reported. They described the road as an important addition to the State coastal highway system and as one long-desired by local residents, it has an 18 foot pavement and five foot shoulders. Heavy rains and ocean water often wash over it and this fact. Graham and Winslow said, caused the delay in complet ing it. The Highway Commission called for bids on the first link, a 17 mile stretch from Avon to Hatteras in May, 1947. Work started that year on the grading but the paving was not completed until 1948. The cost of the grading and paving totaled $319,040. Avon to Konriantnc The next* section was built from Avon to Rondanthe, a distance of 17.8 miles. Work started on thfl grading in August, 1950. Before surfacing, State forces dug up the base which had been damaged by sea water and worked out the nap tha in the road. In August, 1952, the road was surfaced with sand bituminous materials. The total cost for the 17.8 mile link wa 9 $217,475.65. In January. 1952, the Commission advertised for bids on 12.34 milei from Rondanthe to Oregon Inlet. Work started a month later on tho grading. The paving was complete ed last month. The grading and paving for this link cost an esti mated $191,838. The contract for work on a 2.23 mile extension of the road through Cape Hateras State Park from the main highway to Cape Hatteras was awarded in August. 1952. Work was started last February. Al though the project is not fully com pleted, the Commission estimated the cost will come to $38,736.50. Ferry Put On In preparation for using the new Oregon Inlet ferry, "The Governor Umstead," bids were taken last May for grading a ferry landing basin on the south side of Oregon Inlet. The work was completed last July 12 at a cost of $13,790. In August, "The Governor Umstead," a converted Navy landing craft with a 22 car capacity, was put into service. A ferry basin slip on the north side of Oregon Inlet previously was constructed at a cost of $20,850. Graham and Winslow said the Whalebone junction-Oregon Inlet road project was submitted to con tractors in March, 1951. Grad ing work got underway the next month but the road bed had to be done up and reworked^ before it ' could be surfaced this year. ' The surfacing was completed last month at an estimated cost of $94,218.33. General Says Air Field Tale Untrue A rumor that the United States Marine Corps was reactivating the airfield at Beaufort for use by jet planes was checked by THE NEWS TIMES yesterday and found to be untrue. , Brig. Gen. William G. Manley, commandant of Cherry Point Ma rine Air Base, said that no action has been taken to expand the field at Beaufort. General Manley said expansion - is taking place at Beaufort, S. C.? and that the two places may have gotten confused in people's mind*. The only thing that would nece? sitatc reactivation at Beaufort, K. . C. would be mobilization, the gen eral added. He also stated that no funds have been earmarked for thq expansion or alteration of the ail* field at Atlantic.
